Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 540 - 538: The Tale of the Evil Dragon
Chapter 540: Chapter 538: The Tale of the Evil Dragon
"Since Young Friend Ning wants to save this girl, it is only natural for us to give him this face."
The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivation, holding the treasure map and looking very strong, said with a smile.
He is a clever man. Far away, Shen Luoyan, sitting on the rooftop and although writing names, was still all ears. If someone were to speak against Ning Daoran at this moment...
You just wait for the Tower Master to give you a hard time!
Among the members of Slaying Immortal Tower, the most trusted by Shen Luoyan is Vice Tower Master Long Xingtian, but her absolute favorite is the Independent Practitioner Jianjia, which is known to all. As members of Slaying Immortal Tower, who would be foolish enough to offend Shen Luoyan?
"Nephew Ning."
True Monarch Qi Xing asked, "What connection do you have with this girl?"
"Respectfully reporting to Uncle Master, my Four Symbols Spear Technique was given to me by Lin Guo."
"I see!"
True Monarch Qi Xing’s eyes lit up, "As cultivators, we must acknowledge and repay kindness. Nephew Ning, you want to save this girl, your Uncle Master fully supports you! Ah, I thought you fancied this girl and wanted to take her as your wife. If that were the case, Wushuang, who is cultivating in Liangyi Sect, would be heartbroken for a while."
What are you talking about!
Ning Daoran was speechless.
But just at this moment, Lin Guo, holding a long spear and exuding a heroic aura nearby, spoke: "Fellow Daoist Ning, I appreciate your kindness, but now that the Martial Temple has been destroyed and my aunt killed, the world I knew has been shattered by Slaying Immortal Tower. There is no meaning for me to live in this world any longer, let me have a final battle and go with a bang."
"You want a swift end?"
Ning Daoran lifted the Big Green Dragon, sneered, and said: "Alright, I, Ning Daoran, am also a Nascent Soul of the Slaying Immortal Tower, and you want a desperate fight, so let this fight be taken up by me, Ning Daoran, alright?!"
"You..."
Lin Guo clenched his teeth in anger.
Nearby, Shen Luoyan, who was scribbling in a notebook, shook her head with a helpless smile on her lips, muttering to herself: "Eh, no wonder he’s so popular with the young ladies..."
...
"Boom—"
A loud noise, Ning Daoran struck with full strength with his spear!
Lin Guo was too slow to block it, and instantly her body flew backward like an arrow, crashing through the main shrine of the Martial Temple, falling back to the hillside where the two once sparred.
Ning Daoran carried his spear and went after Lin Guo to settle the battle!
"Charge!"
Long Xingtian gave the command, "Enter the Martial Temple, leave no survivors!"
"Yes, Vice Tower Master!"
Numerous Great Cultivators made their move, and the Martial Temple, which once symbolized the maximum strength of Sangyu Country, began to crumble continuously.
Back hill.
Behind Kunwu Dojo in a wooded area, spear radiance intertwined. Lin Guo and Ning Daoran exchanged more than twenty moves in a short time, turning the mountain wood into flat ground.
Twenty moves later, Lin Guo’s face grew pale, and the Blood Qi Power inside her body became somewhat chaotic.
She already knew the outcome, and more so felt helpless.
Since her birth, Lin Guo had been heavily trained by her family and later sent to the Martial Temple to deep study, obtaining guidance from the spirits of the predecessors there and eventually became the youngest and strongest Primordial Chaos Early Stage Warrior in Sangyu Country.
Unfortunately, facing Ning Daoran’s Big Green Dragon, Lin Guo realized that there is always someone better.
If Ning Daoran exerted his full strength, Lin Guo would definitely be at a disadvantage within fifty moves, and likely to be slain within a hundred moves. The gap between them had reached this extent.
What’s more important was that Ning Daoran had managed to cultivate the Four Symbols Spear Technique to the Return to Nature in just over a decade. What kind of martial talent was this?
For a moment, Lin Guo not only felt anger over the death of Snow Soul True Monarch, but also deep self-doubt.
"Boom!"
Seeing the opponent’s fighting spirit waning, Ning Daoran discarded the spear, throwing a fierce punch straight at Lin Guo’s delicate face, immediately sending her crashing through the mountain body, harshly landing next to a stream.
"You think dying will be easy?"
Ning Daoran descended from the sky, stepping on Lin Guo’s chest and slightly exerting force, immediately causing the sound of bones crackling.
Lin Guo’s cheeks were covered with mud and sweat. She gave a bitter smile: "Fellow Daoist Ning...do you still wish to humiliate me?"
"It is certainly not my intention to humiliate you."
Ning Daoran frowned, "I once said that you, Lin Guo, are my friend, so I absolutely won’t watch you turn into a pile of dry bones here, and besides, Lin Guo, you have supreme talent. Wouldn’t it be a pity to die in this chaotic destruction of the country?"
"So, Fellow Daoist Ning, what do you intend to do with me?"
Lin Guo’s eyes brimming with tears: "The Martial Temple is destroyed, my aunt is killed, and His Majesty is about to face a regicidal plot. Lin Guo has lost everything, what is left now?"
Ning Daoran really didn’t know how to console people.
"Anyway, I won’t allow you to die here."
He suddenly stepped forward, placing a finger on Lin Guo’s forehead, immediately invoking Mana to seal her veins and Blood Qi, then took out a Spirit Cage Silk and tightly bound Lin Guo.
"Ning Daoran..."
Lin Guo sat on the damp ground, tears continuously falling: "What exactly are you trying to do? Let me die a quick death fighting for Sangyu Country, wouldn’t that be better?"
"You would be dying for the Chen Dynasty, not for the Sangyu Country." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Ning Daoran lifted her onto his shoulders.
"You..."
Lin Guo helplessly asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"To a good place."
Ning Daoran took down the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven with one hand, then together with Lin Guo, turned into a white light and flew into the cave heaven.
...
"Ow ow~~~"
Big Stupid Deer looked horrified, not expecting Big Brother to actually bring this woman into Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.
"What is Young Master intending?"
Little Bai was also surprised.
"Old Lu!"
Ning Daoran directly threw Lin Guo onto the bed in the small cabin, saying, "This woman is left in your care, she is my friend, do not treat her negligently, but also do not let her seek death, we will talk about everything else after the chaos in the Capital city is over."
"Ning Daoran, you..."
Lin Guo was so furious she struggled violently, but alas, Ning Daoran had sealed her cultivation, and her Blood Qi couldn’t circulate. Relying solely on her physical strength at this moment, she couldn’t break free from the very tight Spirit Cage Silk.
"This is where I often cultivate."
Ning Daoran glanced at her: "Lin Wuxian can quietly reflect here, look at those flowers and plants; you will find that even if the Martial Temple is destroyed, Snow Soul True Monarch is killed, and Chen Dynasty collapses, your life will still not lose its meaning because living itself is the meaning. People should not impose too many so-called noble things on their lives; that is but weaving a cage of self-imprisonment."
"You..."
Lin Guo’s voice softened a lot: "What if I want to sit up, want to eat something, what then?"
"Don’t worry, Old Lu will take care of you."
Ning Daoran glanced.
Big Stupid Deer hooted indicating he’s got it covered.
As for Little Bai, Little Blackie, Ning Xiaogui, they needed to keep their distance from Lin Guo, who after all was a Fourth-order martial artist; if she broke the Prohibition, she would be capable of killing them.
...
When Ning Daoran returned to the Martial Temple, the battle there had ended.
The entire Martial Temple had been leveled, and the cultivators guarding it were almost all killed.
However, from the aura, the Purple Flame Demon Lord seemed to have left, seeing that he couldn’t protect the Martial Temple, such a Great Cultivator definitely wouldn’t die along with it.
"Returned?"
From afar, on the roof of the mansion, Shen Luoyan floated down: "What do you plan to do with Lin Guo?"
"She will change her mind."
Ning Daoran lightly bowed his fists: "I took the liberty of saving Lin Guo’s life; I hope the Tower Master will permit it."
"Hmm."
Shen Luoyan said, "A mere Primordial Chaos Early Stage Warrior, although touted as a talent, this Tower Master doesn’t really care about her, just as long as she does not oppose Slaying Immortal Tower later on."
"I will persuade her."
"That’s very good."
Shen Luoyan soared up and said: "Vice Tower Master Long is leading a force attacking the Prime Minister’s Mansion, shall we go watch the spectacle?"
"Sure!"
Thus, two tunneling lights rose and headed straight for the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
...
Outside the Prime Minister’s Mansion, a Fourth-Order Lower Grade Array rose, while a group of Slaying Immortal Tower’s Nascent Soul Cultivators were jointly attacking the Array.
This Prime Minister’s Mansion was the core of Sangyu Country’s military and governmental affairs; once breached, only the Emperor’s residence, the palace, remained.
From afar, amidst a buzzing noise, under the night sky glimmering golden lights, a group of armored soldiers in golden armor, holding long spears, appeared on the streets.
"We are the Imperial Army, under orders of the Eldest Prince, specially here to reinforce the Prime Minister’s Mansion!"
The soldiers hadn’t approached yet when they opened their bows and a rain of arrows enveloped them.
Unfortunately, despite their elite status, they were facing cultivators.
A grey figure soared into the air, lightly flicked his sleeve, and immediately a mana barrier swept out, smashing the numerous arrows; that person looked somewhat familiar, it was the long-unseen True Monarch Du’e!
"The Imperial Guards are under the control of the Eldest Prince, and the head of the Imperial Guards Chen Rangxian is even one of the most arrogant of the Emperor Faction."
Shen Luoyan glanced at a small notebook and said, "Taoist Du’e, go and fetch the Eldest Prince’s head, deter the hearts of the Imperial Guards, let them understand the situation and surrender to the Patriotic Army sooner."
"Yes, Tower Master!"
True Monarch Du’e twisted his body and instantly teleported away, returning soon after, disheveled. He held a blood-stained head in his hand and threw it onto the ground, saying loudly, "Herein lies the Eldest Prince’s head, soldiers of the Imperial Guards, will you continue to resist? This Prime Minister’s Mansion will be ours in a moment, if you remain stubborn, there will be no way back!"
The crowd was shocked.
The Imperial Guards kneeled en masse, expressing their willingness to surrender to the Immortals.
...
Not long after, the Prime Minister’s Mansion was breached, and the civil servants inside could not withstand torture and quickly switched allegiance.
By dawn, Ning Daoran accompanied Shen Luoyan, leading the people toward the Imperial Palace, where the steps were already covered in blood, the Patriotic Army was battling the Imperial Guards inside and had already secured the advantage.
At this moment, those loyal to the Chen Dynasty had been mostly eliminated, and the real situation was settled.
Within half an hour, the elite of the Patriotic Army burst into the main hall.
"What do you think, how will they treat that Emperor?" asked Shen Luoyan among the clouds.
"I don’t know."
Ning Daoran smiled lightly.
Not long after, a group of Patriotic Army soldiers rushed out of the Imperial Palace, two of them stretching out a blood-drenched human skin. A Patriotic Army commander said solemnly, "The Dog Emperor has been flayed to death, here is his skin!"
Outside the main hall, countless civilians cheered jubilantly.
That Duke surnamed Li had a smile on his face as someone draped a yellow robe over him.
Ning Daoran frowned slightly.
Beside him, Shen Luoyan chuckled, "Actually, neither side are good people, whoever sits on that Dragon Chair will grow scales and fangs, eventually turning into an Evil Dragon. What our Slaying Immortal Tower does is slay dragons, repeatedly so."
