30: Chapter 30: Eryao Goes into Battle, The Terrifying Strength of the Dragon Whelp (2) 30: Chapter 30: Eryao Goes into Battle, The Terrifying Strength of the Dragon Whelp (2) Only after watching Hua Qing leave did the beggar breathe a sigh of relief, breathing heavily.
Fearing that Hua Qing might return halfway, he hurriedly ran back.
The beggar was so frightened that he couldnât sleep all night.
Every time he closed his eyes, he would see Du Longâs eyes, wide-open in deathâhe would see Du Long with his long tongue sticking out, coming straight for his life.
As he spoke, the beggar collapsed to the ground, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.
Jiang Tang remained silent.
He just knew he had that feeling.
It turned out that the person expelled from the Sect was Du Long.
Poor Du Long, after years of tyranny, ended up being expelled from the sect and even died on the streets.
Tsk tsk, as they say, evil begets evil karma.
Howeverâ
âYou and your lackeys, could it be you were instructed by them to kill me?â Jiang Tang swallowed the last bite of the hot bun, raising an eyebrow at the beggar.
The beggar: ââŠâ If he confessed, it meant he had to kill him, and he would either be beaten up or killed.
While he was agonizing over his dilemma, Jiang Tang didnât ask further and turned to leave.
After inquiring about the price of the Spirit Beast Carriage, Jiang Tang felt it was more economical to walk.
It was just a short journey, and with his current physical strength, he could reach his destination in less than two days with ease.
Yet, troubles tend to come one after another.
No sooner had Jiang Tang stepped out of the town than Hua Qing, who had been lying in wait, followed suit
Watching Jiang Tangâs leisurely figure, Hua Qingâs eyes were unguarded with murderous intent; he summoned a Longsword and swung it forward.
This sudden strike caught Jiang Tang off guard, causing him to take a nasty tumble forward.
But that was allâhis hair was slightly dishevelled, and his body was completely unharmedânot even his robe was damaged in the slightest.
Jiang Tang got up, dusting himself off, and looked back calmly.
Hua Qing was stunned.
He had used seventy percent of his Spiritual Power, yet he couldnât defeat someone with only Body Refinement stage?
Keep in mind, he was already at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer.
His strike was enough to kill a Spiritual Cultivator at the peak of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment.
How come it felt like a playful gesture against Jiang Tang?
Hua Qing had no idea that Jiang Tang had already cultivated the Golden Body Spell to the Great Perfection and had undergone Body Refining.
Even if a Spiritual Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer Great Perfection came at him, he could barely withstand it.
And to Jiang Tang, Hua Qingâs attack was as insignificant as a tickle.
âHua Qing?â Jiang Tang slowly narrowed his eyes.
Enemies on a narrow road, indeed.
What were the odds of encountering him here?
Jiang Tang was unaware that Hua Qing had been expelled from the Sect for framing him.
âJiang Tang, die!â Hua Qingâs face twisted with malice as he brandished the Longsword.
Jiang Tangâs expression changed.
If this guy went all out, even if it wouldnât hurt to be hit, his body would become numbâit was an uncomfortable feeling, like being electrocuted.
Just as he was about to turn and quickly leave, he suddenly heard Eryaoâs voice in his mindâ
âDaddy, daddy, let Yao Yao out, Yao Yao will teach him a lesson.â
With a cute voice uttering such a serious statement, Jiang Tang nearly burst into laughter, barely managing to hold it in.
After considering it, he decided to let Eryao out.
Firstly, to see the fruits of Eryaoâs training, and secondly, to deter this ongoing nuisance from bothering him again.
The moment Eryao came out, Jiang Tang suddenly remembered something.
He had not yet refined the shape-shifting Pills for this little one!
But Hua Qing seemed to be clueless about valuables and failed to recognize the identity of Eryaoâs Snow Dragon, thinking it was just a round dumpling-like Demonic Beast.
Seeing it block in front of Jiang Tang, Hua Qing suddenly became furious, âGet out of my way!â
With that, he swung his longsword, intending to cleave the dumpling to death.
Eryao dodged with a grimace, a sharp glint erupting in his eyes.
The bone wings on his back suddenly unfurled as Eryao let out a heaven-piercing howl.
The void around him trembled, and Hua Qing sensed something unusual, hastily halting his advance.
But this was exactly what Eryao had hoped forâhe abruptly pulled in his bone wings, and spiritual energy in the void transformed into ice, which turned into razor blades, hurtling towards Hua Qing.
These ice blades were like a torrential downpour of hidden weapons, so numerous that Hua Qing felt his skin crawl.
He instinctively tried to dodge, but to his surprise, his feet didnât obey, remaining firmly in place no matter how he tried to move.
Hua Qing looked down only to find his feet solidly frozen without him noticing.
With no other choice, Hua Qing was forced to raise his longsword to fend off the rain of ice blades.
Despite his wrist flickering rapidly and his sword flowers spinning swiftly, two ice blades symmetrically pierced Hua Qingâs shoulder blades, one on the left and one on the right.
Hua Qing cried out in pain and, upon discovering that the ice encasing his feet had melted and he could move again, he stared murderously at Eryao, who was now arched high on his back.
âYou little beast!
Dare to hurt your grandpa!
I wonât let you live!â He consumed a Pill and, wielding his longsword once more, charged forward.
This time, however, he changed his targetâthe dragon cub with a faint glimmer of golden light in its eyes became his primary target.
Jiang Tang had planned to simply watch the fray from the sidelines, but upon hearing Hua Qingâs insults, his expression darkened immediately.
This was intolerable.
Fighting was one thing, but hurling insults was another.
He produced a hoe, and while Eryao was busy with Hua Qing, Jiang Tang advanced a few steps and, unexpectedly, knocked him on the head.
Hua Qingâs head burst open, bleeding profusely.
He turned around howling in pain, glaring at Jiang Tang with eyes full of rage, âJiang Tang!
You shameless brat, dare to ambush me!â
The gritting of his teeth appeared as if he wished to devour Jiang Tang whole.
Seeing this, Eryaoâs eyes flashed with golden light.
An array suddenly appeared under Hua Qingâs feet, and the spreading chill in an instant turned him into an ice sculpture.
âYou can insult Yaoyao, but you canât insult daddy,â Eryao snorted coldly, sitting atop the ice sculptureâs head.
The ice sculpture collapsed with a bang, instantly disintegrating into dust.
Jiang Tang was astonished.
The cubâs strength was truly remarkable.
âDaddy, from now on Yaoyao will protect you.
Anyone who bullies you, Yaoyao will freeze them all!â Eryao leapt onto Jiang Tangâs arm, hugging it and wagging his tail, his eyes brimming with adoration.
As if the puffed-up dragon cub from a moment ago wasnât him at all.
Jiang Tang couldnât help but chuckle.
After putting away the hoe, Jiang Tang stroked Eryaoâs head, âFrom now on, donât kill people indiscriminately.
Bad people will get their comeuppance.â
Although he had reincarnated, the sight of others casually killing still unsettled Jiang Tang.
After all, the world he came from was a one-on-one rule of law society.
Okay, actually he hadnât yet learned to be at peace no matter the circumstances.
Eryao paused for a moment.
Bad peopleâŠ
will get their comeuppance?
The dragon cub thought of the people who had slaughtered his mother years ago, a flash of viciousness crossing his eyes.
No matter what, daddy was the only family he had now.
Anyone who dared to harm his daddy would not be easily forgiven.
Jiang Tang was completely unaware that he had become an untouchable scale in Eryaoâs heart.
On their journey, Jiang Tang took some time to refine a Disguise Pill, allowing Eryao to successfully alter his appearance so he could always stay outside.
