Demon Fox Slaughters Dragon Night

Ge Xian glimpsed his own Dao Path, and was inexplicably excited.

Thoughts surged, and he felt it was increasingly feasible.

"Speaking of which, the original host was also an extraordinary person, awakening the talents of Perception and Charm. No matter how you calculate it, he was a strong individual. If he had the opportunity to enter the Dao, his future achievements would be no weaker than Lu Hualong, who had Innate Tiger Mark Tiger Eyes."

"It's a pity his luck was bad, and he died in the calamity when his second talent awakened. However, dying from sheer pleasure isn't a bad way to go either."

"And the third talent, [Cai Bu], came with me. It's just that it has a big flaw. After Cai Bu, it will inevitably dissipate, leaving less than one percent. This means that even if I successfully Cai Bu an Immortal God, I won't gain the corresponding power afterward, which is like drawing water with a bamboo basket – all in vain."

"Now, if this matter can be successfully verified, then my talent might have found an incredibly suitable use."

"After all, the Dao Qi Exotic Power obtained through 'cultivation' should not dissipate. I just don't know if the corresponding bad habits will still arise?"

As Ge Xian pondered, he also carefully studied the Dragon Transformation Chapter.

Only a few hundred words, not a single character could be missed.

Cultivation in this world is clearly a life-threatening matter, so he had to be cautious.

According to the Dragon Transformation Essentials, after gathering the three required conditions, one must first absorb the object containing Dragon Essence Blood into the body and overcome the 'Rejection' hurdle. Then, one must recall their own Call Wind Summon Rain talent to summon wind and rain, and afterward cultivate the essential secret techniques. If successful, one can achieve Body Soul Dragon Transformation and gain extraordinary power.

The strength of the power gained from the first Dragon Transformation depends on the cultivator's talent and the exotic item used to enter the Dao.

In this regard, this essential should be the basic cultivation method for the Dragon race, specifically for entering the Dao.

Clearly, "Green Toad Water Lord Wei Dashou" was unwilling to remain an Evil Beast, guarding the Dragon Palace or acting as a thug. He secretly obtained this Secret Technique, still wanting to become a dragon.

Alas, his efforts were in vain, all to fulfill Ge Huolang.

With this thought, Ge Xian began to act.

First, he moved the Large Water Vat from the courtyard into the house. The Dragon Transformation Chapter requires the place for Dragon Transformation to be near water. Rivers, lakes, and seas are all acceptable. If there's really no other option, streams and ponds can suffice.

Ge Xian wanted to go out and find such a place, but the wilderness outside the city was dangerous. The nearest embankment pond within the city was his crime scene, and he didn't dare return. He could only make do with this Large Water Vat.

Anyway, he was only doing this to verify the process, so simplicity was key.

In the blink of an eye, he stripped off his clothes and flipped into the vat.

The first hurdle was Object Assimilation, absorbing the Dragon Essence Blood and enduring Rejection... He had already completed this in advance, using the Dragon Scale that the Beggar Sect had painstakingly obtained to cultivate the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. As for the Rejection, Ge Xian had some doubts. With the ferocity of his Cai Bu talent, who was rejecting whom? Even if he had endured it.

Therefore, Ge Xian sat down, closed his eyes, and concentrated. In the next moment, he softly shouted:

"Wind Come!"

"Rain Come!"

Perhaps because he was in the Large Water Vat, the wind he summoned was still gentle, but the rain increased significantly. At least it was no longer just enough to wash his face, but now it reached his head.

In the gentle rain that only covered the area of the water vat, Ge Xian began cultivating the Dragon Transformation Essentials.

The process wasn't difficult. He used his mental power to guide the Dragon Essence Blood through his acupoints, causing his Qi Blood to merge and trigger a metamorphosis, manifesting a dragon form, known as dragon transformation.

Surviving the first stage meant success, but it only indicated ordinary talent.

Surviving three stages was excellent.

Surviving six stages was outstanding.

Surviving nine stages made one a heavenly prodigy.

Initially, Ge Xian wondered how difficult it would be. When the first stage began, he understood.

Unimaginable, intense pain almost made him cry out. His teeth were nearly ground to dust, his body turned red, veins bulged, and sweat poured down like rain. Even more terrifying was the subsequent "itch" that erupted from the marrow, and even from the depths of his soul.

It made Ge Xian wish he could grab a sharp blade on the spot and scrape off his own flesh, inch by inch.

This agony lasted for a full ten breaths.

At this moment, he completely understood why most cultivators who practiced dragon-related Secret Techniques chose to stop at the first stage of dragon transformation.

It wasn't that they were unwilling, but rather unable.

Ge Xian had also intended to stop, but as the first stage ended, another anomaly occurred.

His other innate talent, "Supernatural Perception," was suddenly stimulated, pulling his soul into his body. He followed the essence blood as it coursed through him, meticulously observing the entire process of "metamorphosis."

It was as if he was personally watching his flesh, meridians, organs, marrow... and all his acupoints, transform into a dragon, bit by bit.

The process of destruction and rebirth, which could be called "Racial Metamorphosis," repeated itself, round after round. This allowed Ge Xian to suppress the pain and itch, and instead feel an exhilarating sense of satisfaction.

After an unknown amount of time, a "boom" sounded, and the water vat exploded.

Ge Xian suddenly awoke. The first thing he saw was the mess on the ground: black water, fouled by foul-smelling impurities and blood, mixed with fragments of flesh and blood.

Without time to look further, or to ponder how many stages he had endured, he immediately examined himself.

Instantly, a look of horror appeared on his face.

There was no longer a Young Peddler in the room. Instead, a Dragon Kin Monster stood there.

His naked body was covered in bulging muscles, clad in Black Gold Scales. His hands and feet had transformed into dragon claws, and a thick dragon tail had grown from his back. He reached up to touch his head and found that he had indeed grown Dragon Horns, Dragon Teeth, and other features.

"A Complete Dragon Manifestation, so perfect."

"I... I endured all nine stages?"

Ge Xian spoke as he felt around his brand-new body.

If anyone else were here, they would witness a strange sight: a Dragonman, incredibly robust and ferocious in appearance, was feeling himself up.

And the more he felt, the more excited he became. His ferocious Dragon Mouth split open to his ears, and he grinned brilliantly.

"It's just as I thought!"

"The bloodlines and strange powers I Cai Bu'd, as long as I retain them within my body and solidify them, they count as my innate talents."

"In the future, if I obtain other Dao Pulse Methods, as long as I meet the conditions, I can cultivate them."

"Most importantly, after I transformed into a dragon, I didn't develop any bad habits like [cannibalism] or [treasure hoarding]."

"This means I don't have to abandon my humanity even when I'm no longer human. Excellent, excellent."

As this was his first time confirming his cultivation path, and he had no master to guide him, Ge Xian muttered and pondered quite verbosely.

At the same time, he excitedly conducted more experiments.

Ge Xian continuously switched between "human" and "Dragonman," once again confirming that he could use this Dragon Transformation Power without issue.

He then retrieved the Scarlet Tortoise Shell. This item had served its purpose and was now more of a liability. He couldn't keep it.

The next moment, Ge Xian gripped the tortoise shell with a pair of Dragon Claws and began to crush it with immense force. With a cracking sound, the incredibly hard tortoise shell, impervious to blades and swords, was directly crushed into Bone Powder Debris all over the ground.

He estimated that compared to the Evil Cultivators and Water Ghosts and Water Monsters he had seen during the day, his strength would definitely rank in the top three.

Perhaps only "Xu Bai Lian," who had been a male companion to a great cultivator, could suppress him. Cultivators like the Wang Family Eldest Daughter-in-law, who practiced strange martial arts, might not even be able to break through his defenses.

Of course, he was still no match for Zhang Buzu and Zhao Wuyou, those two Ghoul generals.

"This is enough. After all, I'm just a novice cultivator who has newly entered the Dao."

"From what I've seen and learned over the past two days, this world is truly difficult to navigate. Whether one hides in the deep mountains or remains in the bustling city, without strength to protect oneself, it's a path to certain death."

"For now, I should focus on being a good undercover agent, broaden my horizons, and accumulate some strength."

"Ideally, I should Cai Bu more bloodlines and strange powers, and collect more Dao Pulse Secret Methods... Hmm?"

While deep in thought, Ge Xian suddenly made a new discovery.

The strange powers he Cai Bu'd would dissipate within a certain period, retaining one or two percent.

The original Dog Beating Dao Qi and Dragon Subduing Dao Qi were in this process.

But now, looking at them, the Dog Beating Dao Qi was still dissipating, but the Dragon Subduing Dao Qi had actually vanished.

No, to be more precise, it had been consumed during his Dragon Transformation.

Sensing these, Ge Xian's eyes lit up again, and he said in surprise:

"You mean!"

"If I can use it up in another way while the Dao Qi Exotic Power I Cai Bu'd is still there, I can swallow it all."

"For example, if I get another Dao Pulse Secret Method related to the [Demon Dog], fulfill the conditions, and do the same..."

Thinking of this, Ge Xian couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

The difficulty was too high and the conditions too harsh, it was simply impossible.

To obtain the Dragon Transformation Chapter was already a great stroke of luck, how could he demand more.

Just as Ge Xian sighed and planned to return to his "human form".

An unexpected change, which he could never have imagined, suddenly occurred.

It was already night in Qiantang County. From the direction of the familiar Willow Oriole Alley, an incredibly impassioned horn sound, comparable to thunder, rang out continuously.

With the first blast, Ge Xian's heart pounded, his eyes turned scarlet, filled with greedy possessiveness, and a strong urge arose in his heart, making him instinctively want to smash through the wall in front of him and then rush madly towards Willow Oriole Alley, as if something he desperately desired was there.

Ge Xian had no time to think. He sharply bit his tongue, spitting out a large mouthful of dragon blood, gaining a moment of clarity, and then forcibly dispelled his Dragon Transformation State.

Regaining his human form, Ge Xian gasped for air, while cursing inwardly:

"Is it that crazy woman Yelü Yuyan?"

"She's this vengeful? Lost a little face, and hasn't found me all day, so she's released such a powerful move?"

There was a reason why Ge Xian suspected Yelü Yuyan first when this bizarre change occurred.

The horn sound echoed throughout Qiantang but caused no commotion. Clearly, apart from "Dragon-blooded Beings," no one else could hear it.

And the source was Willow Oriole Alley. It was highly likely that Yelü Yuyan, the eccentric County Magistrate's Wife and eldest daughter of the Yelü Family, felt greatly humiliated last night and, unable to catch Ge Xian all day, had resorted to a big move, directly using some kind of Secret Treasure to forcibly summon all nearby Dragon-blooded Beings to appear.

How overbearing!

How brutal!

Ge Xian's suspicion was soon confirmed.

The next moment, the entire city was in turmoil.

But it wasn't because the county residents heard the horn, but because a large number of monsters like Snake Dragon Fish Insects emerged from gutters, wells, ponds, rivers, and other places, converging from all directions towards Willow Oriole Alley.

Although these monsters had their minds seized and were rushing madly, they still couldn't help but disturb the common people.

In every district and every block, fear and screams rose one after another.

"Snakes, so many venomous snakes with horns."

"My god, is that a flood dragon? It's so huge, at least seven or eight zhang. Has this demon been hiding under the well in our Tai Miao Alley all these years, secretly feeding on incense?"

"Quick, go look at Qinghu River. The riverbed is surging, and at least dozens of strange fish and strange flood dragons have come ashore."

"In the sky, in the sky, there seem to be flying snakes and cloud flood dragons..."

"What on earth is happening? Could it be that some True Dragon Descendant, like a Dragon Lord or Dragon Girl, has fallen in Qian Tang tonight, attracting these related Dragon Kin Monsters to come and pay homage?"

"Pay homage? Look at the greedy and bloodthirsty appearance of these monsters. Even if a true dragon has fallen, they'll probably be torn to pieces."

Because it was the end of the dynasty and strange events were frequent, even the county magistrate had become a cannibal, and the common people had gradually become numb.

But this shocking scene tonight still made all the county residents tremble with fear.

What was even more terrifying, they couldn't see.

Ge Xian, who had already transformed back into human form and had quietly climbed onto the rooftop at some unknown time, gazed into the distance. With his Supernatural Perception, he clearly saw every horrifying scene that was about to unfold in Willow Oriole Alley.

There, an incredibly brutal, bloody... slaughter was taking place.

Veiled by the night and some sort of magical energy fluctuation, Yelü Yuyan revealed her true form.

A Heart Devouring Fox!

She was more than three times larger than when Ge Xian had seen her in her boudoir.

The visibly surging, unrestrained, and demonic Dao Qi instantly reminded Ge Xian of Lu Hualong, who had recently traversed the entire Qian Tang county in the form of a Gu-Eating Spirit Monster.

He had thought that the promoted County Magistrate Lu had already surpassed Yelü Yuyan. Now it seemed that after that night, the two of them were finally at the same realm.

And in terms of cultivation and divine abilities, it was possible that Yelü Yuyan was still stronger.

As Ge Xian marveled, he saw a terrifying fox with three bloody tails lying above Willow Oriole Alley. On its head was a horn that seemed to be made from dragon horns. Without anyone blowing it, it automatically emitted a series of Dragon's Roars, attracting all the Dragon Kin Monsters and spirits to rush forward one after another.

Yelü Yuyan, as if driven mad, was slaughtering them with deadly force.

While slaughtering them, she let out roars and howls in different tones, as if her soul was split:

"No, this one isn't it either."

"That ugly Dragon Girl... where are you? Get out here."

"Good Dragon Girl, I won't tear your Skin Sac anymore, nor will I hold it against you for killing my Chun Niang. Come here quickly, sister has a great treasure for you. Have you heard of the Yinglong Immortal Lord Scroll bestowed by the Yinglong Spirit God? Sister has a copy. If you come out obediently, I'll give it to you."

"You damn bitch, no matter where you hide to the ends of the earth, as long as I find a trace of you, I will eventually capture you and ravage you..."

As these voices reached his ears, coupled with the bloody massacre, Ge Xian's expression grew very complex.

He simply didn't know how to describe Yelü Yuyan.

She came from an extremely noble background and was the County Magistrate's Wife; by all rights, she should have possessed a certain bearing.

Yet, for the sake of the "Ugly Dragon Girl," whom she had only met once, she had become this frenzied.

Moreover, Ge Xian believed that even if it hadn't been him last night, or the Dragon Girl, but someone else entirely, as long as that person had caused her to lose face and she couldn't catch them to vent her anger, the result would have been tonight's bloody massacre.
