Chapter 2080: Chapter 2035: Special Effects
"Daoist friend Chen Yang, quickly try using the sword to strike at the dragon shadow’s true form to see if it has any effect," Feng Nihuang immediately suggested.
"Alright." Chen Yang nodded, then immediately swung the Stone-Cutting Sword.
Two sword qi rushed straight toward the dragon shadow.
Zoom, zoom...
The sword qi passed through the dragon shadow, and as expected, the shadow became even more illusory!
This speed is much faster than suppressing it with spiritual energy, isn’t it?
"Sword qi really works!"
Chen Yang was pleasantly surprised.
Seeing this, the others around, who had swords, immediately drew them and attacked the dragon shadow.
After a round of attacks, the conclusion was reached.
Not all sword qi was effective; one must have a certain level of strength and profound swordsmanship.
The others using swords had results no different from weakening the dragon qi with spiritual energy.
Only Chen Yang and Zhao Tiangang’s sword qi caused significant damage to the dragon shadow.
So the two of them teamed up, furiously attacking the dragon shadow.
Sword qi flew everywhere.
Before long, the color of the dragon shadow visibly faded a lot.
It was already turning transparent.
Roar, roar, roar!!!
At this moment, the dragon shadow, whether sensing its danger or for some other reason, suddenly became ferocious.
While emitting waves of dragon roars, it also madly attacked everyone.
The dragon shadow’s combat power had been greatly weakened.
For Chen Yang and Feng Nihuang, its attacks posed no threat at all.
But for the weaker ones, it was a trouble.
They barely managed to resist, but a moment of carelessness could result in severe injury!
Old Man Mountain Ghost was one such example. As two breaths charged over simultaneously, he couldn’t defend against them at all.
After barely offsetting one, he couldn’t block the second and was hit directly.
With a spurt of blood, he fell to the ground, severely injured.
Some other loose cultivators and a few big sect disciples also suffered varying degrees of injury.
Fortunately, the transparent dragon shadow was merely at its end and didn’t last much longer.
In mere minutes, it was annihilated by a single sword qi from Chen Yang!
And at the very moment it was annihilated, its body exploded.
It transformed into about twenty or thirty clusters of pure dragon qi, dispersing in all directions.
Seeing this scene, everyone was instantly thrilled!
They all immediately leaped to snatch the dragon qi.
The dragon qi wasn’t fixed near the pool but rapidly scattered in all directions.
Chen Yang didn’t know this was how dragon qi formed, so he didn’t react at first. Only after Zhao Tiangang and others raced out did Chen Yang react.
He quickly chose one relatively large dragon qi to chase after.
After a while, he discovered that not just him, but another person was after this dragon qi!
That person was also a big sect disciple, but not top-tier, just second-rate.
"Chen Yang? I am Hua Yang Palace’s disciple, Hua Tian! Could you please do me a favor and let me have this dragon qi? I will surely repay you in the future." Hua Tian was smart, knowing that even if he caught up to the dragon qi, he wouldn’t be Chen Yang’s match, so he immediately tried to curry favor.
But how could Chen Yang agree?
Not to mention that other large dragon qi had been pursued by others; this was the last big one.
Even if it weren’t the last, he wouldn’t give it up over Hua Tian’s mere verbal promise.
"There’s no need for repayment. This dragon qi is something I must obtain. You should find another; a decent-sized one headed northwest, you might still catch it." Chen Yang said without looking back.
Hua Tian looked unwilling!
The northwest one indeed existed, but it was only half the size of this one!
"Daoist, I am a disciple of Hua Yang Palace. Are you sure you want to contend with me?" Unable to communicate, Hua Tian immediately resorted to threats.
Initially, Chen Yang had treated him kindly and politely.
Upon hearing the threat, Chen Yang wasn’t courteous anymore.
"Do you think I’d fear your Hua Yang Palace when I’m not even afraid of killing the old ghost Wuchang?" Chen Yang said coldly, then turned and sent a Gathering Spirit Seal his way.
Boom...
Hua Tian was shocked.
He never thought a simple sentence would provoke Chen Yang’s attack.
He hurriedly stopped, fully countering, and dispelled the Gathering Spirit Seal.
But he dared not follow any further.
Chen Yang had already made a move on him; if he pursued, he might further anger Chen Yang, and he’d surely suffer for it.
So, sensibly, he stopped.
"How hateful, daring to attack me. Just you wait—with Senior Brother around, you’d be slain for sure!" Hua Tian ground his teeth in fury.
Then he quickly turned and chased in the northwest direction.
He couldn’t contend with Chen Yang for this dragon qi; he could only pursue smaller ones.
On the other side, Chen Yang, after chasing a while, quickly caught up with the dragon qi.
Opening his mouth, he inhaled!
He directly absorbed the dragon qi into his body.
Immediately, a violent force filled his entire body, making him feel extremely bloated and filled with killing intent!
His eyes turned red!
Ah!!
The sensation of bloating and overwhelming desire to slaughter was unbearable, and Chen Yang struggled to control it, suffering immensely!
"Demon Suppression Record!"
Chen Yang, enduring the pain, sat cross-legged in a relatively safe, secluded forest and rapidly activated the Demon Suppression Record.
The Demon Suppression Record is a profound Taoist Cultivation Technique.
For such wrathful things, it also had a suppressing effect.
Once the Demon Suppression Record was activated, Chen Yang felt much better.
The bloating pain didn’t disappear, but the killing intent in his mind dissipated.
His mind became clear and sober again.
The blood-red in his eyes was also gradually fading away...
After about half an hour, the dragon qi stabilized and settled in his body.
He carefully inspected and discovered that once the dragon qi entered his body, it condensed into an elixir about the size of half a thumb!
Though not large, the power contained within was immense.
Just absorbing a little earlier, Chen Yang felt his power level up again!
"What a treasure, I feel that if I absorb this dragon qi-formed elixir fully, I can break through the Spirit Gathering Realm!" Chen Yang was overjoyed.
This trip to Divine Dragon Mountain was certainly worthwhile.
The dragon qi was truly a rare treasure!
Having absorbed such a big cluster of dragon qi, Chen Yang was already satisfied and wanted to return to the entrance directly.
But just as he was about to leave, a beam of light flashed in the distance, followed by a silhouette chasing after it!
"Ming Xiong? Wasn’t he chasing a large dragon qi? Why is he after a small one now?" Chen Yang recognized the fleeting silhouette.
Upon reflection, he understood!
When the dragon shadow exploded earlier, at least over thirty clusters of dragon qi flew out.
Ming Xiong must have obtained a large dragon qi and then gone for a smaller one!
"Good things can’t be too many." Chen Yang thought for a moment and decisively chose to pursue them as well!
The spiritual energy from the dragon qi was extremely pure and greatly aided in cultivation, so naturally, the more, the better.
Such a good opportunity shouldn’t be missed.
In the forest thirty miles away.
Ming Xiong caught up with a small dragon qi.
For some unknown reason, the dragon qi suddenly stopped flying, lingering ten meters from Ming Xiong.
Ming Xiong landed on the ground, watching the motionless dragon qi with immense satisfaction, laughing heartily.
This was actually the third dragon qi.
Before this, he had already obtained two, which, like Chen Yang’s, turned into elixirs, residing in his body, yet to be refined!
Ming Xiong laughed twice, just about to step forward and claim the dragon qi.
But unexpectedly, at that moment, Chen Yang burst from the side, flashed past swiftly, and absorbed the dragon qi into his body in an instant.
This small dragon qi didn’t significantly affect Chen Yang.
Once inside his body, it quickly transformed into an elixir, settling within.
