Chapter 1323: Chapter 1322: The Wounded Giant Dragon
"Nothing much to teach, just feel like youâre to my liking. How about a drink together?" Yan Feishuang said as he tossed a jar of liquor to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng caught the jar, opened the seal, and a rich aroma wafted out, intoxicating those who smelled it.
"Good wine!" Ling Feng didnât even need to taste it to know it was precious.
"This Royal Spirit Wine is a specialty of our Lingyu City!" Yan Feishuang also produced a jar of wine, took a large gulp, and shouted cheerfully, "Refreshing!"
Ling Feng smiled slightly, then took a sip. The Royal Spirit Wine turned into pure energy as it entered his throat, surging through his entire body, nourishing every cell, every piece of flesh, every nerve...
In a moment, Ling Feng felt his body becoming stronger, his soul and spiritual power also intensified.
Phew! Ling Feng exhaled like an arrow and slowly opened his eyes, "It truly is good wine!"
Yan Feishuang chuckled, "I thought youâd be knocked out in one gulp, but it seems your body adapts quite well to the Royal Spirit Wine."
Ling Feng gave a nonchalant smile, "Having wine without meat is rather regrettable, wouldnât you agree?"
With a flick of his wrist, Ling Feng produced a pack of spicy food in front of Yan Feishuang.
The Bright Saintess nearby couldnât help but twitch the corners of her mouth at the sight. It was so familiar and nostalgic!
"Try it first, see how it tastes!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Yan Feishuang picked up a piece and examined it, "This looks like chicken claws, but I canât tell what kind of chicken it is. Moreover, Iâve never seen this way of preparation before!"
He tossed it into his mouth, chewed twice, and his eyes lit up, "Although it doesnât contain much Vital Energy, the taste is quite unique. What is this?"
Ling Feng puffed up his chest and said, "This is a specialty of my hometown, Szechuan Pepper Phoenix Claws!"
...
Ling Feng and Yan Feishuang ate and drank together, chatting occasionally, as if they were truly sightseeing tourists.
"Yan Feishuang is actually hanging out with that Ling Feng guy?" Many city lords had a flicker of doubt in their hearts, but none of them dared to approach.
Yan Feishuang was known for his odd temperament, and they didnât want any involvement with Ling Feng anyway, especially since Bai Yuntian seemed to hold strong hostility towards the New City Lord of Blood Cry City.
When everyone had gathered, Bai Yuntian, the Lord of Yunfu City, finally appeared.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Bai Yuntian, am grateful that you have come to Yunfu City amidst your busy schedules to participate in the Beast Slaughter Ceremony!" Bai Yuntian announced loudly from above the Beast Slaughter Field.
"So this is Bai Yuntian?" Ling Feng remarked in surprise at the stubby man, "His appearance is quite... unique, to say the least?"
Powerful masters could change their body shape and appearance, after all, controlling muscles and bones wasnât hard for them!
But for Bai Yuntian to look like this, either he was indulging in a peculiar taste or had been cursed by an even stronger master.
"Heh, itâs said that before Bai Yuntian became famous, his wife couldnât stand his ugliness and sought solace elsewhere!" Yan Feishuang chuckled, "This event deeply stimulated Bai Yuntian, so he trained hard, and when he reached the God Realm, the first thing he did was kill his wife and her lover!"
"Then Bai Yuntian seemed to deviate further down a twisted path. Possibly because of a warped mind, he enjoys using his current appearance to forcibly take othersâ wives, relishing in their humiliation and forced compliance!" Yan Feishuang took a sip of Royal Spirit Wine and said, "Many masters disapproved of him and tried to kill him, but during their pursuit, Bai Yuntianâs power grew tremendously, and in less than a hundred years he advanced to the master of Divine Sea Realm."
Ling Fengâs hand paused, "Lord Yan, advancing from God Realm to Divine Sea Realm in a hundred years is considered fast?"
Yan Feishuang nodded, "Of course, anyone who can advance to Divine Sea Realm in about a hundred years is one in a million. Most people take at least three to five hundred years. After all, the path of cultivation is arduous, and only with steadfast progress can one reach higher realms!"
Ling Feng wore a wry smile. He remembered clearly that he had ten years to reach the Divine Sea Realm to meet the Witchâs challenge, or he couldnât predict what she might do.
"As everyone knows, our Divine Cloud Continent has unstable space, with frequent invasions by Exotic Beasts from other planes!" Bai Yuntian continued on stage, "And our responsibility as city lords is to guard the Divine Cloud Continent and expel all intrusive creatures from other planes!"
"Just recently, within my Yunfu Cityâs territory, we caught a strange creature! It is a hundred meters long, covered in blue scales, with a snakeâs body, deerâs antlers, and eagleâs claws, and possesses great power. We sacrificed several warriors of Peak of Divine Realm to capture it!"
"After capturing it, I investigated but found no record of such a creature in literature. So I organized this Beast Slaughter Ceremony, partly to publicly slaughter it as a tribute to the warriors of Yunfu City, and partly to let everyone see if anyone can identify what it is and where itâs from!"
At this point, some city lords shouted, "Bai Yuntian, stop with the nonsense and bring out that mysterious creature. Iâm quite curious now!"
Bai Yuntian smiled faintly, "Alright, since everyone wants to see it, Iâll bring it out now!"
With that, Bai Yuntianâs hand moved, and a large Formation appeared above the massive Beast Slaughter Field, emitting a faint light.
"Teleportation Array!" Feeling the energy fluctuations from the Formation, Ling Feng immediately sensed it was a spatial Formation, presumably connected to the dungeon.
As the light intensified, a giant dragon over a hundred meters long appeared before everyoneâs eyes.
The giant dragon was bound with chains, and its wounds leaked brown pus, emitting a foul stench.
"A dragon, truly a Chinese Dragon!" Ling Feng looked at the giant dragon, his heart sank, and his eyes flickered with a hint of killing intent.
"What is this thing? Iâve never seen it before!"
"I donât know, but even bound, I can feel its power. For Yunfu City to capture it is truly remarkable!"
...
"Ling Feng, do you know this creature?" Yan Feishuang asked Ling Feng, noticing his intense emotional fluctuations earlier.
Ling Feng smiled slightly, "How could I know? But... I have seen a creature like this elsewhere and almost got attacked. Remembering it makes me restless."
