Shadow Hack
chapter-687

Miss An became extremely anxious when she saw Li Yunmu’s departing figure.

“Hey! You cannot abandon me here! What if I encounter another ancient devil beast? I won’t be able to deal with it! Hey, you can’t go!”

Li Yunmu, however, kept walking toward the mountain range without any hesitation. Miss An, who was extremely fearful of the eastern domain, immediately went after him.

Although she instinctively resisted acting recklessly and walking down a random path, who had asked Li Yunmu to save her life? It was impossible for her to keep staring blankly while he went on the path of his demise.

Li Yunmu reached a cliff, and suddenly a shocking wave rose from the sea underneath it. A black dragon rose from the water!

Miss An was frightened by the black dragon to the point her body went soft. If it was above the ancient devil beasts, then based on the terrifying might it emitted, Miss An knew she wouldn’t be its opponent.

“Mortal… How dare you trespass in this region!”

The dragon’s voice was as majestic as a huge bell.

If anyone else had seen the dragon reveal its might, they would have been frightened stiff long ago. But Li Yunmu wasn’t an ordinary person. He wasn’t even afraid of gods, so why would he be afraid of a dragon?

“I heard a voice summoning me here, thus I came here!”

The dragon was somewhat amazed and looked the mortal up and down. Suddenly it sniffed a familiar scent from Li Yunmu and instantly stretched its neck forward.

With mountains roaring and seas howling, Li Yunmu remained expressionless even when the dragon approached him with its formidable might.

“Mortal, you are the first person to remain so calm in front of me. No ordinary person would dare to resist the pressure emitted from my body!”

The dragon’s voice was extremely majestic, and Miss An’s body had gone soft on the ground because of its pressure. However, Li Yunmu’s face still didn’t show any expression.

The dragon found it quite unusual.

Li Yunmu looked into the black dragon’s eyes with complete calm and said, “I don’t know why but seeing a dragon is like seeing an old friend. I don’t feel any nervousness.”

A hint of surprise appeared in the dragon’s eyes, which was extremely difficult to detect. With a voice as resounding as a huge bell, he asked, “Mortal, how are you related to spirit wood?”

Li Yunmu turned silent. In his mind, a figure of a person called spirit wood flashed. In the ghostly world, Miss An had seen the portrait of a person called spirit wood man.

He shook his head and said, “I don’t know what you mean, but getting to meet you was fate.”

Dragon mulled over his words for a moment, then said, “Whether you are an enemy or a friend, a test will confirm it!”

Li Yunmu was slightly startled. He didn’t know what exactly the dragon had meant. Did it want to test his strength? At that moment, he possessed strength close to ancient god level. If he truly fought against the dragon, it was highly possible that he would end up on the winning side.

However, the dragon suddenly roared into the horizon and flew out of the sea, sending the vegetation in the surroundings flying away. After turning over the heaven and earth as well as flying in the sky for a while, it suddenly spew out a stream of air.

“Azure Ocean Dragon Roar!”

That stream of air caused the mountain range to disappear. Miss An’s body was almost swept up, and she shrieked loudly.

If it were not for Li Yunmu acting quickly and pulling her hand, she would have been blown away, and they would have been separated.

But the dragon’s strength caused Li Yunmu’s face to slowly turn unsightly.

The dragon’s power was quite formidable. Many ancient gods wouldn’t be as tyrannical as it.

The dragon’s roar showed that its strength couldn’t be underestimated. Li Yunmu instantly became on guard against the dragon in his heart.

The system chose to speak up then. [This dragon isn’t easy to deal with, so you have to be careful!]

Li Yunmu nodded and said, “I know! But I could only battle with him to confirm his identity. It won’t really hurt me since it had been constantly calling me his friend. Apparently, it’s the same as your relationship with Odin.”

[I suggest that you don’t use the Great Devouring Technique and just injure the opponent lightly!]

Li Yunmu had also intended to do this so the dragon would see a different side of him.

Li Yunmu placed Miss An on the side, then his figure flickered when he charged toward the dragon. He lowered the divine cyan blade in his hand and madly struck at the enormous dragon.

Li Yunmu’s trick was quite insignificant in the dragon’s eyes. It was accustomed to battling humans, so it was used to humanity’s combat style since a long time ago.

The afterimage of Li Yunmu’s attack couldn’t injure the dragon’s body.

The dragon moved its tail and instantly swatted Li Yunmu away. If it were not for him being ready for it, he would have been sent flying.

Li Yunmu’s body suddenly changed into a metal suit with an impenetrable defense. The continuous roars of the dragon were unable to shake his body in the slightest.

The dragon’s eyes filled with astonishment. The mortal’s body had been covered by metal armor, and it seemed to be completely invulnerable. Its dragon roar tsunami had also been unable to influence Li Yunmu.

With the metal armor covering his body, regardless of how much the dragon attacked, Li Yunmu was able to endure it. The dragon couldn’t help but be slightly shaken.

“Your metal armor is quite formidable, huh?”

Li Yunmu laughed slightly. “Dragon, you let me win!”

Once it heard his words, the dragon stopped and indifferently said, “You being able to fight against me with a mortal body to this stage already isn’t ordinary! But I feel that the sense of familiarity coming from you has become even stronger. Have we met in the past?”

Li Yunmu didn’t dare to be certain, but the feeling of familiarity couldn’t be wrong.

He shook his head however. “Perhaps we have met, but that doesn’t matter. We can be considered to be connected by fate. Seeing an old friend, I have only one thing to ask, how can one reach the Ancient Lands?”

The dragon was silent for a while before saying, “I have been punished by Fu Xi for several thousand years and have been repenting in this Zuzhou region. I have never gone out of sea before today and I don’t know about the situation in Kyushu. But since you are related to me, I won’t mind sending you off to a place from which you can reach Ancient Lands.”
