Dragon Horse Emerges from Luoshui

"How many days has it been?"

"Three days. I didn't expect the Great King to be so devoted to our Marquis's daughter."

"You should call her Imperial Consort, not Marquis's daughter, hehehe."

"Sigh!"

Di Xin let out a breath from his chest and sat on the stone steps, gazing at the setting sun in the west, his mood extremely low.

Waving away the maids, Di Xin became even more dejected:

"A dignified Human King resorting to trickery. It's just a broken sword, and he won't give it to me after losing a bet. Does he really think I care!

Wuwuwu! My poor Xuanyuan Sword!"

When Di Xin was trying to recruit Kong Xuan, Xuanyuan had bet Shen Nong that if Kong Xuan truly joined Yin Shang, he would give the Xuanyuan Sword to Di Xin. Shen Nong had also agreed to give his mount, the Dragon Horse.

Now that Kong Xuan had joined Yin Shang, Xuanyuan had played the rogue. Using the Xuanyuan Sword as a prototype, he forged a post-heaven divine weapon and named it "Great Treasure Sword," gifting it to Di Xin. His excuse was that what he had said that day was about "my Great Treasure Sword." Shen Nong, on the other hand, had genuinely handed over the Dragon Horse.

At this moment, the Dragon Horse was carrying the "Great Treasure Sword" and rushing from Huoyun Cave towards Yin Shang.

"To think I was so grateful back then, only to get beaten up for nothing!"

Di Xin recalled himself in Huoyun Cave and once again lowered his head in shame.

Compared to these "old monsters," he was truly naive. They all had their own schemes, their own ideas. In the future, he would have to think even more deeply and comprehensively.

As for the idea he had proposed in Huoyun Cave, it was now impossible to think, impossible to speak, and impossible to do, because it was simply too insane!

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a white light streaked across the sky, heading straight for Chaoge.

Di Xin suddenly stood up, a look of joy on his face. He extended his right hand, summoning the Kongtong Seal, and activated the Shen Nong Cauldron imprint on it, guiding the Dragon Horse.

The white light in the sky turned sharply, like an intercontinental missile that had locked onto its target, descending directly towards Di Xin.

The white light landed gracefully, revealing the figure within.

The Dragon Horse is the essence of heaven and earth. Its form is that of a horse with dragon scales, hence its name, Dragon Horse. It stands eight feet five inches tall, resembles a camel, and has wings. It treads on water without sinking.

Under the setting sun, the Dragon Horse surveyed Di Xin with its head held high, snorting a white mist from its nostrils:

"Oh my goodness, I'm exhausted! What's the rush? Don't you know I've gotten fat over the years! And you even activated the Shen Nong Cauldron. Huh~ I can smell the herbs on you, can't I? It's like riding a donkey while holding a baby—completely unnecessary!"

"Uh!"

Di Xin's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

Setting aside everything else, was this Dragon Horse truly native to Luo River?

This fluent Henan dialect was quite... amusing...

"What 'uh'? That old fogey Shen Nong, a bet's a bet, and he even traded me away! I've been carrying him for years for nothing! I should have just gone with Fu Xi back then! What a waste of time!"

The Dragon Horse snorted, stomping its hooves and cursing. Suddenly, the Kongtong Seal flashed with divine light, and Shen Nong appeared before Di Xin as a clone.

"Senior!"

Di Xin immediately cupped his fists in greeting, but Shen Nong grabbed him:

"You are the Human King now, no need for formalities. I've spoiled this Dragon Horse over the years, please bear with him in the future."

"Look what you're saying! Him bearing with me? Can he withstand one of my kicks! Just say you want me to protect him, don't say he needs to bear with me! This horse lord isn't serving anymore! Ptooey!"

The Dragon Horse immediately became agitated upon hearing this. It spat, and a cold light shot towards Shen Nong!

Shen Nong laughed heartily, not dodging. He waved his sleeve, and a five-clawed golden dragon flew out of the Kongtong Seal. It opened its dragon mouth and bit down on the cold light, which turned out to be a gleaming silver long sword.

Shen Nong waved his hand again. The golden dragon returned and released the cold light from its mouth. The long sword landed lightly in his hand:

"Although this sword is not as sharp as the Xuanyuan Sword, it is the result of great effort from Xuanyuan and Senior Sui Ren Shi. It incorporates some special power from the Xuanyuan Sword, specifically designed to break the bodies of demons and witches! However, do not let it be stained with too much human blood in the future; it is inauspicious."

Di Xin took the long sword with both hands. He gently gripped the hilt with his right hand, and instantly, a surge of bloody malevolence rose from the sword, rushing up his arm and directly attacking his soul.

"Disperse!"

With a roar, Di Xin mobilized all his Blood Essence, forcefully suppressing the malevolent energy!

Human resentment and malevolence, it seems to contain other powers as well. It looks like the Xuanyuan Sword might truly be a fierce weapon forged from human flesh, blood, and souls!

"This kid isn't bad! To be able to suppress it in such a short time, he's a good one!"

The Dragon Horse sat down on the ground, raising its front hooves to clap.

Di Xin chuckled awkwardly: "So, am I a good one? This is truly high praise."

"The Dragon Horse has the cultivation of a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal, just one step away from the Grand Unity realm. With him by your side, we old guys can also go into seclusion with peace of mind for a while."

Shen Nong patted the Dragon Horse's front leg, only to be impatiently pushed away by the Dragon Horse:

"What are you touching! What are you touching! I'm a male horse, understand? Can you just touch me?"

Shen Nong's mouth twitched imperceptibly a few times, and a hint of anger clearly appeared in his eyes. This guy is really pushing his luck!

"You two get acquainted slowly. I still have things to do at Huoyun Cave, so I won't interfere here."

Forget it. If my clone stays here, he might get kicked twice. I'll make a note of it.

"Kid, don't bother me with anything in the future, alright? I've been losing weight lately and need to put on some fat for winter!"

As soon as Shen Nong left, the Dragon Horse immediately perked up. It propped its front hooves against each other, nostrils pointed to the sky, and looked at Di Xin.

"Finally, I've escaped that cave! Oh my, they even controlled my procreation. Now, I'm finally free!

Hey, kid, prepare a top-tier palace for me first, and then equip me with eight hundred to a thousand maids. They don't need to be exceptionally beautiful, just national beauties will do! They'll massage my muscles and brush my fur for Master Horse every day.

As long as you serve me comfortably, you won't be shortchanged on benefits!"

Without the Kongtong Seal empowering him, Di Xin's aura was only at the Golden Immortal level, so the Dragon Horse was completely letting loose.

"Oh? You want to loosen your muscles?"

Di Xin looked at the Dragon Horse with a half-smile. With a surge of effort, all his muscles and bones cracked, and his Blood Essence surged out of his body, transforming into the Black Bird Dharma Idol, spreading its wings in the air.

Now that Shen Nong was gone, he was also free.

"Little one, you're still too green. Let me teach you a lesson."

The Dragon Horse "stood" up, snorted, and showed disdain.

"Perfect, I'm also full of rage!"

Empowered by the Kongtong Seal, Di Xin's aura instantly surged to Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

The top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Human Seed Bag, was activated by the Blood Essence Dharma Idol, releasing a silver light that imprisoned the space around the Dragon Horse!

He opened his right hand, and the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Water-Fire Bell, appeared. Instantly, myriad rays of light and auspicious energy filled the air!

"Uh, Human King, let's negotiate. Don't hit my face, okay!"

The Dragon Horse's body shrank. It used its front hooves to protect its face and its hind hooves to guard its rear and other areas, lying stiffly on the ground.

I've been tricked! This son of a turtle, how does he have so many magic treasures!

"Roar! Grumble..."
