Ink Forms a Barrier, Blood Summons the Black Dragon
As the soul transformed, it revealed the appearance of Bu Yichi. An Order emerged from the memories deep within its soul, while a surge of black energy permeated the entire soul body.
"Huh?" The Left Wise King was even more surprised. Looking at the soul, he narrowed his eyes. "I didn't expect that the person I sent into the city has already been killed by you! You even captured his soul. What courage! What decisiveness! It's a pity that you were ultimately outmaneuvered. You didn't know that there was more to his soul than met the eye!"
It turns out that Bu Yichi's clamor in Dingchang City by the Left Wise King. Once this happened, no matter how Dingchang wanted to deal with it, they had to bring Bu Yichi into the city.
With this person in the city, the Left Wise King can easily mobilize Order and another force to infiltrate from within and shake Dingchang's Military School Martial Thought.
In other words, the Left Wise King foresaw this situation from the very beginning!
However, Qiu Yan killed the man with the Bu Yichi and captured his soul, which immediately disrupted the Left Wise King's plans. But the Rouluo did not panic; instead, he went with the flow!
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the soul of the Bu Yichi wanted to scream, but before it could even open its mouth, its soul body suddenly changed, its face changed, and scales appeared, making it look like a python!
Then, he opened his mouth wide, as big as a basin, and bit at Qiu Yan!
So close, in the blink of an eye, Qiu Yan's vision was filled by that gigantic mouth. But as Qiu Yan picked up his brush, the insights he had just accumulated became clearer and smoother. His Qi and Blood and blood merged with Order, and he wrote the line, "Only then did I realize the barrier was shining." As the character was completed, the strokes disintegrated and reassembled, forming a plane that blocked the gigantic mouth. But the sharp fangs inside pierced the plane barrier, and wisps of black substance seeped out from the tips of the fangs and merged into the barrier.
"Hmm?" Qiu Yan frowned, feeling a slight daze and sway as he sensed his connection to Order.
Collapse!
The barrier snapped, and the soul was thrown back, flying towards the Left Wise King, who wore a smile on his lips.
"You thought you were all set in motion just because you stopped the soul? You're wrong." He shook his head, a hint of pity in his eyes. "My subordinates swore an oath of allegiance with their blood, channeling a wisp of Black Dragon Qi into your soul. With this bite, they infused it into your Order. That Order is connected to your thoughts, slowly eroding you until it turns you into my puppet!"
"Black Dragon Qi?" Qiu Yan's eyelids twitched, and he flipped through the book in his other hand. The unfolded barrier shrank into a ball, hovering in front of him, perfectly round and smooth, with a point of pitch-black substance constantly pulsating in the center!
The matter slowly diffused, and the Order and Qi and Blood contained in the plane were somewhat tainted, gradually changing color.
"So that's how it is. The mystery of the soul lies here. It was worth keeping it; I can study it later."
A wisp of divine power shot into it, binding the black substance. Qiu Yan's thoughts stirred.
The ejected soul flew back to the Left Wise King, who reached out to grab it. Unexpectedly, the soul suddenly exploded, roaring as the Heart Ape leaped out. It grew rapidly, reaching a height of five zhang in the blink of an eye. With a slap of its enormous palm, the chaotic thoughts collided, igniting the Thought Fire and stimulating the surrounding Martial Thought.
In the blink of an eye, the Left Wise King was engulfed by the Sea of Fire. The Heart Ape struck him with a palm, but with the protection of Order, his body did not change. However, his soul was shaken, his aura fluctuated, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly took two steps back!
"You actually guessed that there was a trick in the soul? A deliberate attempt to create a false impression?"
His retreat was forced to stop by the Sea of Fire behind him.
The Left Wise King knew that in the current situation, Order was in turmoil and ghosts and gods were retreating. However, the Thought Fire and the Heart Ape, though seemingly Divine Ability, were actually a combination of the thoughts of all living beings. If this flame were to stick to one's body, it would immediately set the body on fire and burn through the skin and thoughts. Even if it could be quelled, it would require distraction and time.
On the battlefield, things can change in an instant. If you get caught in this fire, it could affect the entire battle!
"Is this a spiritual object?"
The Left Wise King glanced at the Heart Ape, but his perception encompassed the entire battlefield within a ten-zhang radius.
"You actually possess such a treasure, hidden within the soul of that man with the Bu Yichi, plotting to assassinate me? A clever scheme indeed, exceeding my expectations. It seems I can no longer underestimate you! Delaying this will only prolong the night! I must spare no effort and finish this quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, facing the Heart Ape, who was engulfed in flames and charging straight at him, the Left Wise King neither dodged nor avoided, nor did he show the slightest anxiety or panic. His whole body trembled, and blood gushed out from the pores all over his body. The blood was bright red, but after swirling around his body, it turned pitch black!
Boom!
The sky changed color, and a bolt of black lightning struck down, shattering Heart Ape's arms and knocking him down to the mortal world!
Then, the lightning spun in mid-air and merged with the jet-black blood surrounding the Left Wise King. A dragon's roar resounded, and a dragon's head emerged from its body, followed by its entire body, undulating continuously.
This dragon is majestic and lifelike, yet one can see traces of illusion; its surface reveals dragon scales that are jet black and shiny.
In the blink of an eye, a black dragon soared out and coiled in the sky!
Those dragon eyes glared at Qiu Yan, their imposing presence unmatched!
In an instant, the pressure surged, and the sunlight distorted and shifted, as if it could no longer directly face the dragon, dimming considerably.
This dragon is different from the Black Dragon cultivated by the Divine Spirit Body. The Black Dragon of the Divine Spirit Body originated from the soul of the Horned Dragon in the Stove Mountain, and was formed by combining the Black Abyss Heavy Water with many methods, and was similar to Law Treasure artifact.
This Black Dragon, coiled in the sky, possessed an obscure aura and overwhelming power. It also occasionally revealed a desire to dominate the world and sweep across the universe. Its origin was extraordinary and could not be formed from ordinary things.
As soon as the dragon appeared, Qiu Yan clearly noticed that the Left Wise King's Fortune suddenly surged, and even his destiny changed, showing signs of becoming a human ruler or emperor!
Moreover, as the Black Dragon roared, specks of dark energy spread out and merged into the Blood Cloud Martial Thought, aligning with the Military School Offensive Order. The Offensive Order suddenly surged, and the soldiers formed from the Order and Martial Thought's Qi and Blood became clearer, their muscles, bones, skin, and flesh all vividly appearing, cracking and clattering, and their slashing moves becoming increasingly powerful!
In this way, the offensive intensified and immediately became unstoppable, forcing Qiu Yan's garrison to retreat repeatedly, and even opening up a gap in the middle to directly target Qiu Yan!
"So this is the manifestation of the Black Dragon Qi. When intention and momentum unite, Fortune follows, establishing dominance in one region. In that case, this Black Dragon is also constructed from the intention of living beings, similar to the Dragon Qi of the Central Plains. Could it be...?"
Qiu Yan's heart stirred, and a guess arose. At the same time, he felt the pressure from the Black Dragon's eyes, and his own Fortune was faintly declining, but he also had a way to deal with it. So he mobilized his memories and recalled his experience in Prosperity Capital. His thoughts immediately resonated with an obscure and heavy power in the sky, which was faintly brewing, but there was also an obstacle.
"The Great Rui Dynasty has been established for decades, its foundation deep and solid. I am located outside Prosperity Capital. Even with Official Qi and the emperor's favor, it won't be easy to invoke his abilities. Fortunately, I have help here..."
Inside the barracks, Xiao Lan and the others were looking at the Black Dragon with worried expressions.
"This King Hu has actually summoned the Black Dragon; it seems he's serious now..."
They gathered their Qi and Blood and blood, and their thoughts into Martial Thought, mobilizing the power of the military camp to support Qiu Yan and fill the gaps in the Arms Order. In doing so, they were also directly facing the offensive of the Left Wise King. As soon as the Black Dragon appeared, they immediately felt the pressure increase sharply, their muscles and bones creaked, as if they were being crushed by a heavy object. Many soldiers in the camp felt an unspeakable oppression spreading in their hearts, and their bodies gradually became heavy. Many people's will wavered.
Ultimately, morale is crucial in battle, and it can be shaken by a multitude of factors.
Then, the ripples of Defensive Order descended, stirring the hearts of everyone, gathering the will of the frontier Military School, drawing it out, and combining it with Qiu Yan's understanding of the Dragon Qi of Prosperity Capital, soaring into the sky!
Another thunderclap, and a Dragon Qi Manifestation in the clouds above!
Auspicious Dragon Aura!
This Dragon Qi had already merged with Qiu Yan's consciousness in Prosperity Capital. Now, Qiu Yan possesses the Official Qi and the Military School Order. The place he is in is also within the territory of Great Rui. By gathering the power of everyone, he can summon it out.
The bright yellow Dragon Qi appeared, but its head and tail were nowhere to be seen; only a huge section of its body was visible. It was like looking at a leopard through a tube, unable to see the whole thing. This was also because the Dragon Qi in the Central Plains was so vast that it was difficult to reveal its true form easily.
The Left Wise King was taken aback upon seeing this.
"What's going on? How can this person summon the Dragon Qi of the Central Plains? Who exactly is he? Could he be a member of the Great Rui Imperial Clan?"
The Left Wise King of Rouluo, protected by the Black Dragon, possessed a mind aligned with the Dao Order and was the pride of the Grass Tribe. However, he was not skilled in Fortune or judging people. Although he had made some plans, he did not expect Qiu Yan to be able to summon the Dragon Qi.
That being said, even in the Central Plains, among the many Grand Confucian, only a few could mobilize the Dragon Qi, hence the astonishment.
"However, judging from this, he can't control the Dragon Qi at will, so it might still be an opportunity!"
Concealing his surprise, he sneered, raised his hand and pointed. The Black Dragon suddenly became agitated, baring its fangs and claws, revealing a bloody maw, and flew towards the bright yellow dragon body!
Boom!
The next moment, the two Dragon Qi collided, and the violent impact dispersed the Martial Thought in the sky, causing the soldiers and blood clouds to dissipate, revealing the original appearance of Order.
Qiu Yan and the Left Wise King's offense and defense collapsed simultaneously!
Then, the Black Dragon climbed onto it, opened its mouth, stretched out its claws, and tried to bite and scratch, desperately trying to tear off the pieces of its dragon scales!
However, the bright Yellow Dragon remained as immovable as a high mountain, constantly emitting ripples that landed on the Black Dragon, causing the Black Dragon to show signs of disintegration!
"It's so difficult to get a hold of it! If the first strike fails, there will be a backlash!"
The Left Wise King's face suddenly turned pale. He gave Qiu Yan a deep look and whispered, "Consider yourself lucky. I didn't know you well enough, which is why this mistake happened. But next time, you won't be so lucky!" As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of Martial Thought gathered around him, turned into clouds, lifted him up, and he was about to leave on a cloud.
They just left without hesitation, so decisive!
"Next time?" Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes. "Coming and going as you please, arrogant and unscrupulous, and you actually think there will be a next time? Do you think there's no one else in the Central Plains!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he sent out a Divine Sense, and something in the Left Wise King's arms immediately vibrated. It was a Golden Core and two False Core. The cores shattered and exploded in the blink of an eye!
