Xia Kang: Stop Looking, My Master Suppressed Him

"Kang'er, this is a gift for you before I leave. Don't be afraid if you encounter trouble while you're out there. Just fight! Our Tyrant Fist Holy Land is the best at dealing with all kinds of people who dare to defy us. If you can't win a fight, just use your spiritual power to activate this jade pendant, and it will naturally protect you."

Outside the Five Elements Mountain, Cao Youqian patted Xia Kang on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Xia Kang accepted the jade pendant respectfully and said, "Disciple thanks Master for bestowing this treasure."

Cao Youqian smiled and said, "No need for thanks. This is the tradition of our lineage. When I first went down the mountain for training, your grandmaster also gave me the same advice."

Xia Kang nodded, his respect for his master, whom he had never met, growing even stronger. He resolved to carry on this legacy and one day become a powerful being like his master, achieving godhood and becoming an ancestor.

"Alright, I won't say anything more. Go ahead and rest assured."

Cao Youqian was never one to nag too much; he was just a little unaccustomed to seeing his disciple off down the mountain for the first time.

Xia Kang seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "Master, this disciple would also like to take Junior Brother Ying with me to my home, since his home is not far from mine."

"No problem."

As Cao Youqian spoke, he turned his gaze to Ying Li, who had now cultivated into human form and was a handsome young man with a face like Ying Li. He took out a jade pendant from his storage ring and threw it over to Ying Li.

"A Li, this is yours."

Ying Li received the jade pendant with a look of wild joy on his face. He never expected that his master would also leave him a jade pendant, completely disregarding that he was Demon Race. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Master."

Cao Youqian said, somewhat annoyed, "You brat, why didn't you tell me sooner? If I hadn't prepared everything for each of you, people would have thought I was being unfair."

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present showed expectant eyes. It would be a lie to say they weren't envious of their senior brother. Now that their master said everyone had it, they wanted it too.

Cao Youqian could easily see through the little ones' thoughts, and said with a smile, "Stop looking. Just come and get it from me when you go down the mountain. Do you need this kind of thing in these mountains? Even if the Shaman God or the Demon God came, I could tear them apart with my bare hands. Hurry up and go cultivate."

hiss...

All the disciples present gasped instinctively upon hearing this. They knew their master was strong, but they never imagined he could be this terrifyingly powerful. They immediately replied, "We obey."

Cao Youqian doted on these disciples. Seeing that they had all gone to cultivate, he didn't say anything more. After watching Xia Kang and Ying Li leave, he headed towards the direction where Da Lei was in seclusion.

He had just landed when he sensed a change in Da Lei's aura. The next second, a terrifying aura shot straight into the sky, followed by the arrival of the lightning tribulation.

Seeing this, Cao Youqian's lips curled up slightly: Da Lei has successfully broken through to the next realm; now it's just a matter of waiting for him to become Great Sage.

On the other side, Ying Li had just transformed into his original form and flown out of the mountain gate, suddenly sensed an unusual phenomenon in the mountain. He said to Xia Kang on his back, "Senior Brother, it seems that Uncle Lei has broken through."

"That's true, but we've already been bathed in the spiritual rain once, so going back to bathe in it again now won't have much effect. In Master's words, too much of a good thing is bad."

Xia Kang had no intention of returning; he hadn't yet fully refined the Spiritual Qi generated by the spiritual rain he had received.

Ying Li nodded in agreement. He also shared the same concerns his senior brother had raised. If he hadn't spent the last few days tempering himself in the Earth Fire, he would have been overwhelmed by the Spiritual Qi in the spiritual rain.

Half an hour later, Xia Kang saw the Great Xia Tribe in the distance. Before he could get close to the Great Xia Tribe, he sensed a terrifying pressure descending from the sky.

Ying Li sensed the terrifying pressure and his body trembled as he plummeted towards the ground.

"Junior brother, be careful."

Xia Kang's expression changed drastically. After shouting loudly, he jumped off Ying Li's back, landed steadily, caught the rapidly falling Ying Li, and asked, "Junior brother, are you alright?"

"Senior brother, I'm fine, but we're about to be in trouble."

After stabilizing himself, Ying Li flapped his wings and landed smoothly, turning his gaze towards the direction of the Great Xia Tribe.

A towering black shadow hovered in the sky, its enormous body blotting out the sun. Even before it revealed its true form, it instilled fear in all living beings on earth.

"What... what kind of being is this?"

Ying Li stared at the figure, his voice trembling uncontrollably. The oppressive aura emanating from the other person suppressed him from the very core of his being.

Xia Kang didn't speak, but tightly gripped the jade pendant his master had given him, wanting to see what kind of being would appear above the Great Xia Tribe.

Within the Great Xia Tribe, fear gripped the people. Even powerful figures like the tribal chief and the high priest were terrified at the sight of that terrifying presence in the sky.

The high priest muttered, "It's over, it's over, this is the will of Heaven to destroy my Great Xia Tribe."

The clan chief said, "High Priest, let's hurry and ask for reinforcements. I'm sure Kang'er's master won't stand by and watch him die."

The high priest shook his head. "It's no use. Such terrifying pressure is even more frightening than the previous Demonic Dragon Emperor. The pressure it exudes can render all our communication methods ineffective. We simply cannot send out any messages."

Bang!

Upon hearing this, the clan chief was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed over as he stared blankly at the sky.

Even the two strongest members of the tribe, the chieftain and the high priest, had given up resistance. Not to mention the rest of the Great Xia Tribe; the soldiers couldn't even hold their weapons.

The priests and elders led their families into the cellar, hoping to save their lives.

Roar!

A dragon's roar suddenly echoed in the sky, and a five-clawed black dragon appeared, looking down at the earth. It said, "I am the ninth son of the Black Dragon God. Why don't you all come out and pay your respects to me?"

Upon hearing this, the high priest and the clan chief exchanged a glance, then steeled themselves and walked outside. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the five-clawed black dragon in the sky, saying, "We pay our respects to Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

The five-clawed black dragon looked down at the two humans on the ground and said arrogantly, "Weak Human Race, as far as I know, this is Hei Mo's territory. Where is he now? Quickly take me to see him."

Upon hearing this, the High Priest and the Clan Chief's expressions changed drastically. The Demon Dragon Lord had already been killed by Kang'er's master. If they told the truth, they would surely face annihilation. If they deceived him, they would be purged regardless of which side won in the future. Now, the two were caught in a dilemma.

"Um?"

The five-clawed black dragon said impatiently, "Are you all mute?"

Just then, a loud voice suddenly came from afar.

"I know where that demonic dragon is!"

Upon hearing this, the five-clawed black dragon instantly shifted its gaze from the two people to the direction from which the voice came. It saw a Human Race child and an eagle with a different bloodline standing not far away.

The high priest and the clan chief's expressions changed drastically upon hearing the familiar voice, and a thought simultaneously crossed their minds: Oh no, that's Kang'er's voice.

The five-clawed black dragon looked at the resolute-looking, unwavering young man before him and said with a smile, "Boy, why don't you kneel before me?"

Suppressing his fear, Xia Kang said, word by word, "I, Xia Kang, only kneel to my parents and teachers, I will never kneel to you."

"Hahaha..."

The five-clawed black dragon laughed loudly, saying with a contemptuous look, "Boy, you're too confident. As far as I know, this territory belongs to that mixed-blood brat Hei Mo. I don't believe you won't kneel before him. I'm not afraid to tell you, even Hei Mo would have to kneel before me."

"Is the Hei Mo you mentioned, senior, that demonic dragon?" Xia Kang asked.

???

A puzzled expression appeared on the five-clawed black dragon's face. However, no matter how stupid he was, he realized something was wrong. Given Hei Mo's personality, he would never allow a weak human to address him in such a way.

"You mean Hei Mo was defeated by the other Demon Emperor?"

"No."

Xia Kang said, "To be precise, he was suppressed by my master."

"What?"

The five-clawed black dragon's face showed surprise. Although his mixed-blood brother was weak among the Black Dragon Clan, he was not someone who could be bullied by Human Race. Its eyes instantly turned fierce, and it said coldly, "Boy, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Xia Kang said, "Of course not."

The five-clawed black dragon roared, "Very well, very well! Since you Human Race killed my brother, then I will first use the blood of you lowly creatures to pay tribute to him, and then I will personally kill your master!"
