The Nine Cauldrons
chapter-520

"Sh*t. The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon is coming after us." Teng Qingshan was shocked as he muttered to himself, "The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon actually ignored the legendary demonic dragon Violet Rain." Teng Qingshan had expected the famous demonic dragon Violet Rain to stop the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon for a short while, giving him and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi some time to escape.

After all, the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon wouldn't be able to detect their presence if they were more than 34 Li away.

Unfortunately…

This time, Emperor Yu's Hall was determined to kill Teng Qingshan.

"Yu~~" As an enraged shriek sounded, a furious glint shot out of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon's eyes. Once again, multiple shapeless blades made of air shot out of its sharp beak. The powerful blades flew towards the Six Legged Bladelike Chi in a certain pattern and entrapped the Six Legged Bladelike Chi.

"This move again?" Teng Qingshan's facial expression darkened.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As a series of clanking sounds resounded, and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi's agility and speed were affected, causing the distance between Teng Qingshan and the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon to drop to around thirty Zhang.

"Jing Yi, don't even think about escaping. You will die today."

Shengong Tu's cold and fierce voice sounded in Teng Qingshan's ears.

Sitting on the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon's back, Shengong Tu had placed the fifth Void Piercing Arrow on the string and had drawn the godly bow in his hands to the fullest. As the Void Piercing Arrow shone a frigid, golden-colored glow, a seven-colored light flowed along the bow.

Suddenly, Shengong Tu's expression became serious.

Rumble~~~

A streak of icy blue light enveloped by clouds and mist erupted out of the demonic dragon Violet Rain's mouth, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. As the icy streak of light flew out, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to have frozen. Shengong Tu, Liu Xia, and Yu Tonghai, who sat on the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon's back, felt as though the temperature had dropped to a terrifying degree. It was so cold that they began trembling involuntarily.

The sudden low temperature caused the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon to turn towards another direction, thus affecting Shengong Tu, who was just about to unleash the Void Piercing Arrow. After the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon swirled and turned, it opened its mouth and released multiple shapeless trenchant spikes made of air.

Pew. A very soft sound could be heard when the sharp spikes made of air clashed with the icy blue cold light and the streak of blue light enwrapped by the clouds and mist exploded.

Walla~~

The eruption sent fragments of the icy blue light all over the place. For a moment, the water vapor that remained between the heavens and earth after the pouring rain completely froze. The fragments of the icy blue light continued to scatter in all directions. Ice instantly formed on the treetops underneath and expanded downward. Soon, an entire tree was covered with silvery-white mist and ice, and many flowers and grass that were swaying along with the wind froze as well.

Crack~~

All the plants that had been frozen instantly became dust.

"What's with this demonic dragon?" Shengong Tu, who sat on the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon's back, was slightly angry and annoyed. However, as he sensed the powerful soul of the demonic dragon, he didn't have the audacity to attack. One should know that the terrifying demonic beast was a monster that had existed since the tribal times and was strong enough to fight against Emperor Yu.

Although Emperor Yu was not an Omnipotent Expert at the time of the fight, the demonic dragon Violet Rain was still horrifying. In fact, its name was recorded in the books of many ancient sects.

"Yu~~" The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon turned and glared at the demonic dragon Violet Rain and continued chasing after the Six Legged Bladelike Chi at the fastest speed.

"Roar~~"

The demonic dragon Violet Rain's crystal white mustache quivered and rage could be seen through its huge golden-colored eyes. Enwrapped by the clouds and mist, it began pursuing the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon at full speed, and its current speed could compete against the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon's speed.

…..

"The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon won't let us go."

Teng Qingshan could distinctly sense that the demonic dragon Violet Rain was chasing after the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon, and the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon was chasing after him and the Bladelike Chi. The current situation was terrible.

Suddenly, Teng Qingshan had an idea. "Eh? The demonic dragon is pursuing the Wind Splitting and the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon is coming after us. The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon chose to avoid the demonic dragon… But...Yes! Yes! We can force it to fight against the demonic dragon. This is a good idea and it might succeed." As Teng Qingshan thought of this, he hastily indicated the direction with a gesture.

This was the gesture used to ask the Bladelike Chi to turn back.

As the Six Legged Bladelike Chi was extremely intelligent, it immediately understood the gesture.

Whew!

While maintaining at the same speed as the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon, the Bladelike Chi made three extremely rapid turns. At this moment, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi had flown past the demonic dragon Violet Rain for a distance of several Zhang.

"Oh, no!"

"Sh*t."

The expressions of Yu Tonghai and the other two changed drastically.

"Jing Yi is really cunning. He actually turned back and hid behind the demonic dragon. If the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon wants to pursue, it will have to fly around the demonic dragon. The demonic dragon would then be able to stop us easily as it is extremely fast as well." Liu Xia frowned. Yu Tonghai, who was beside Liu Xia, was even more worried as he asked anxiously, "Martial Brother Liu, what should we do now?"

...

At this moment, the demonic dragon Violet Rain hovered between the Six Legged Bladelike Chi and the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon.

"Roar~~" The demonic dragon Violet Rain's deep-sounding roars resonated in the mountains and the forest. It instantly pounced toward the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon. The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon responded with a furious and resentful high-pitched shriek and tried to bypass the demonic dragon Violet Rain with its excellent dodging skills.

Whoosh!

The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon flew in a strange trajectory and dodged the demonic dragon Violet Rain's claws.

"Good." Teng Qingshan, who was observing nearby, was elated as he said to himself, "That dragon tail is powerful!"

Whew!

As the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon flew past the demonic dragon Violet Rain, the demonic dragon Violet Rain lashed its tail fiercely as though it was a metal whip. The wave of the dragon tail shook the heavens and earth. As an afterimage was briefly seen in the sky, the back of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon was struck by the tail.

"Chi~~" The fur on the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon flew and some cracks appeared on its scaled back.

The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon was struck downward. It then rocketed up and headed toward Teng Qingshan again.

"You can't kill me now." Teng Qingshan sneered coldly as he thought to himself. Indeed, the intelligent Six Legged Bladelike Chi used the same trick again. When the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon pursued, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi curved away and hid one hundred Zhang behind the demonic dragon Violet Rain.

The Six Legged Bladelike Chi was able to fly past because the demonic dragon Violet Rain did not obstruct or stop it.

However, when the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon tried to fly around the demonic dragon, the furious demonic dragon Violet Rain just kept obstructing it mercilessly.

Therefore, the Six Legged Bladelike could easily dodge. No matter what, the demonic dragon Violet Rain just kept standing between Teng Qingshan and the three riding the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon. It was a pain in the arse.

"Jing Yi!!!"

Yu Tonghai was so mad that he had gone berserk. With the use of the Sound Transmission Technique, he questioned, "How can you hide behind the demonic dragon all the time? Are you still an Emptiness Realm Expert?"

"Yu Tonghai, are you stupid? Why? Do you want me to stop hiding and just wait for you to kill me?" Teng Qingshan, who rode on the back of the Bladelike Chi on the other side, sneered coldly and replied with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique. The fact that Yu Tonghai had said such words showed that his rage had driven him into insanity.

How could they kill Teng Qingshan if Teng Qingshan kept hiding behind the demonic dragon Violet Rain?

If this continued, they would just continue to suffer from the repeated attacks of the demonic dragon Violet Rain.

"The game of eagle and chicks?" Teng Qingshan couldn't help but recall a scene in his previous life. He had played the game, eagle and chicks, when he had been in the orphanage back then. "I am still playing eagle and chicks now… The members of Emperor Yu's Hall were the eagle and the demonic dragon Violet Rain was the mother hen that protected the chicks. However, this mother hen is much stronger than the eagle."

The battle above the Great Yan Mountain had reached a stalemate. However, suddenly—

"Roar~~Roar~~" Liu Xia, who was on the back of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon, emitted deep roars toward the demonic dragon Violet Rain.

The rage that could be seen in the eyes of the demonic dragon Violet Rain gradually calmed.

"Roar~Roar~" Liu Xia continued to persuade the demonic dragon Violet Rain.

"Oh, no."

Teng Qingshan felt alarmed as he stared at Liu Xia, who appeared extremely small at a distance of over 200 Zhang away. "Liu Xia speaks the Language of Beasts. He might be able to reconcile the current conflict between the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon and the demonic dragon." Teng Qingshan felt very anxious… If he tried to escape in a straight line, the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon would totally bypass the demonic dragon nimbly and pursue him in a straight line.

He wouldn't be able to escape.

Therefore, he had no choice but to hide behind the demonic dragon Violet Rain.

...

Currently, in the region of Yi City:

A silver-haired elder dressed in a green cloak was dashing toward the north wall of Yi City at an incredibly fast speed. This expert, who had reached the peak of the Postliminary Realm, ran for a short distance of two to three Li and leaped up the city wall within less than ten seconds. At this moment, several anxious-looking experts stood on the city wall.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

It was pouring rain, and the few people standing on the city wall all looked like drowned rats.

"Sovereign." The silver-haired elder wearing a green cloak rushed over speedily.

"Eh?" Zhuge Yuanhong, who was paying close attention to the sky north of the Great Yan Mountain, immediately turned and looked over.

At this moment, a high-pitched shriek and an enraged roar occasionally resounded in the Great Yan Mountain. Simultaneously, the rain in Yi City became even heavier.

"Report to Sovereign. News from Qingzhou has arrived. Flames have descended on the Heavenly Cloud Mountain!" the silver-haired elder hastily shouted. When he finished his words, he wiped the drops of perspiration on his forehead and let out a sigh of relief. Zhuge Yuanhong had given a strict order—if they noticed flames burning the Heavenly Cloud Mountain, they must immediately report to the Sovereign and Senior Jing Yi as soon as possible and at all costs.

The elder in the green cloak only realized that his entire body was wet after he had reported to the Sovereign.

"The Heavenly Cloud Mountain is being burned by flames?" Zhuga Yuanhong froze.

"Flames?"

Li Jun and Teng Shou at the side were extremely shocked. Immediately, their hearts were filled with elation.

Zhuge Yuanhong immediately turned and looked north of the Great Yan Mountain. He took a deep breath and exhaled before he shouted—

"Fire Descends the Heavenly Cloud Mountain!"

"Fire Descends the Heavenly Cloud Mountain!"

"Fire Descends the Heavenly Cloud Mountain!" Zhuge Yuanhong hastily shouted three times. As he had reached the pinnacle of the Golden Dan of the Innate Realm, his voice transmitted to the north of the Great Yan Mountain and resonated even in the forest in the Great Yan Mountain.

...

Currently, above the Great Yan Mountain, Liu Xia was earnestly persuading the demonic dragon Violet Rain. Liu Xia was a member of Emperor Yu's Hal, and the demonic dragon Violet Rain admired and respected Emperor Yu, who was generous and had unparalleled power and ability. Also, Liu Xia was a very good talker who was very skilled at forming connections, bonding, analyzing the current situation, etcetera.

A summary of whatever Liu Xia said in one sentence—"Senior demonic dragon, you mustn't let these two wicked thieves use you."

"Roar~~" The demonic dragon Violet Rain roared with pride. Simultaneously, it shot a glance at the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon and flew back into the earth.

"Sh*t." Teng Qingshan's facial expression changed drastically.

"Flee."

The Six Legged Bladelike Chi instantly rocketed away, while the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon immediately pursued.

"Jing Yi, let's see! Besides the demonic dragon, who else is capable of rescuing you?!" Yu Tonghai said with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique

Suddenly—

"Flames descend the Heavenly Cloud Mountain!"

The voice rumbled continuously, and Teng Qingshan, who was escaping, could distinctly hear it. An unprecedented light instantly shot out of his eyes as he exclaimed, "It has finally arrived!"
