Chapter 905: Dragon Suppression Soul Dance, Great Reversal!
“You are still pretty brave!”
The dragon soul revealed a gratified smile.
Every time Sun Mo entered the Dragon Subduing Palace, the dragon soul was able to see him. So, it was quite familiar with Sun Mo and knew that Sun Mo was a very rational individual. Before he did something, he would meticulously analyze and consider things.
However, this time around, he knew that he would die for sure if he acted. He was grumbling yet he still took action.
It was like despite knowing the path of death was before you, you still dared to generously charge forward.
“Brat, you dare?!”
Murong Ye shouted and waved his hand at Sun Mo.
Swish~
Spirit qi churned, transforming into thousands of sharp swords that pierced toward Sun Mo.
Invulnerable Golden Body!
Glaze Mind and Spirit, Indestructible Body!
Battlegod Protection!
Bonded Life!
Paying Someone Back in Their Own Coin!
Sun Mo activated all the defensive measures he could activate. His Evil Vanquisher danced about and resembled gorgeous blooming peonies.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sun Mo only managed to knock ⅓ of the flying swords out from the air and his strength was expended.
“It’s over!”
This thought flashed in Sun Mo’s mind. He then saw a rain of swords covering the heavens and earth, engulfing him.
He was still too careless.
How could a secondary saint be someone a puny fellow at the Divine Force Realm could antagonize?
But at this moment, a figure suddenly charged over and blocked the area before Sun Mo, utilizing a powerful cultivation art.
The rain of swords scattered in Sun Mo’s surroundings.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The interior of this place was dented and tattered from the impact as clouds of dust flew up.
Cough, cough!
Sun Mo fell amidst the chaos and was coughing with difficulty. Blood continuously seeped from the corners of his mouth. His skin and flesh were covered in wounds as blood painted his body red.
“Jiang Ji, why?”
Sun Mo’s brows were tightly furrowed, enough to squeeze a crab to death.
At the instant before the impact, Jiang Ji had rushed out and blocked the majority of the attacks. If not, Sun Mo would have died for sure.
However, Jiang Ji could no longer reply. His body had been split apart by the rain of swords, and pieces of his flesh were scattered on the ground.
Murong Mingyue moved her fingers and silently heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.
Actually, when Jiang Ji had looked for Sun Mo before this and said that he felt uncomfortable, Murong Mingyue had secretly used a puppet secret art technique on him.
His body would gradually turn stiff and he would lose control over his limbs as he slowly turned into a puppet.
After all, he was the #1 ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings. If Jiang Ji became a puppet, he would definitely be extremely strong. Hence, Murong Ye surely wouldn’t want to miss out on him.
Murong Mingyue had no choice and could only do as instructed.
However, when she saw Sun Mo being attacked by Murong Ye, Murong Mingyue suddenly thought of the multiple times when Sun Mo had invited her and also the heart-to-heart chats…
This was extremely rare for her – being granted recognition and concern by someone. Hence, she subconsciously controlled Jiang Ji and used him to block the attacks for Sun Mo.
“Mingyue!”
Murong Ye naturally understood what happened. He roared in anger and wanted to continue attacking Sun Mo.
Although he didn’t know what Sun Mo wanted to do, the instinct of a secondary saint told him that it was very dangerous. It was just that Murong Ye no longer had an opportunity to act.
Duanmu Li took advantage of Murong Ye’s distraction and pierced his right hand into Murong Ye’s chest.
Soul Ignition, Life Offering.
Boom!
Duanmu Li executed one of his ultimate skills, putting his life on the line to fight as well.
Hu~
Murong Ye’s entire body was ignited. At this moment, he could no longer care about attacking Sun Mo, allowing Sun Mo a rare chance to catch his breath.
It was said that during moments of life and death, each and every detail could determine the outcome.
“Why are you still in a daze? Use Air Proof!”
The dragon soul urged, even its voice became sharp.
It was almost frightened to death. If Sun Mo was killed, it could only cooperate with either Murong Ye or Duanmu Li. By doing so, it would have to continue its life as a ‘prisoner’.
Luckily, Sun Mo’s luck wasn’t bad.
“Say, your appearance is not up to standard, so why would the girl be worried about you?”
The dragon soul didn’t understand.
Murong Mingyue’s help at that critical moment was truly impressive.
Sun Mo gritted his teeth and swiftly chanted the incantation while waving his hands to cast Air Proof.
Pak!
A golden light suddenly appeared on the dragon soul as a connection between it and Sun Mo was birthed.
Boom!
Sun Mo was stunned as large amounts of knowledge flooded his mind like how rainwater would flood a beehive. Numerous giant dragons appeared in his consciousness.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The giant dragons roared in his mind, causing Sun Mo to have a terrible headache. Besides, these dragons were moving chaotically, and they collectively looked like a propeller spinning wildly, churning in Sun Mo’s mind so intensely that his mind was completely turned into paste.
But the most terrifying thing was Sun Mo’s spirit qi, energy, blood…
Everything in his body that contained life energy was like bursting out from a dam, flowing into the body of the dragon soul.
In just a few breaths of time, Sun Mo began to grow skinnier and skinnier. He was not far away from becoming a bag of bones.
“Brat, how dare you cause more trouble!” Murong Ye cursed. “Mingyue, kill him.”
Murong Mingyue bit her lips tightly and fresh blood flowed.
She didn’t want to kill Sun Mo.
“Kill him!”
Murong Ye howled. Duanmu Li’s attack was too fierce and it caused him to be unable to attend to other things at the same time.
Sun Mo completely had no idea this was happening. Although he was on the verge of death, he felt joy in his heart. He suddenly gained a hint of enlightenment.
“Are these dragon roars not the draconic language?”
Sun Mo instantly bore with his headache and translated them.
The roars weren’t about the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. Rather, they were conversations between the dragon race, and one could understand the world of the dragon race through this.
“Totem? Sacrificial offerings? Position? Soaring through the nine heavens? Plucking the moon and entering the depths of the oceans?”
As Sun Mo heard this, his body suddenly twisted like a flood dragon emerging from the ocean.
Kapak! Kapak!
His skin began to crack like it was under the weight of a load so heavy that it couldn’t bear it. But at the next instant, a golden light suddenly shone from Sun Mo.
BOOOOM!
Sun Mo seemed to have become a vortex. Great amounts of spirit qi began to flow toward him rapidly.
Duanmu Li’s expression changed.
The giant turtle that was currently devouring spirit qi also turned its head. Its eyes, which had been so calm earlier that not a single ripple of emotions could be seen, were now filled with astonishment. Its spirit qi was being snatched away!
But it was not a problem, it could simply snatch it back.
However, at this moment, Sun Mo suddenly shot a look over. His eyes were filled with an aura of ancient desolation and prestige.
“ROOWWW~”
Sun Mo howled. It wasn’t human speech but a dragon roar instead.
RUMBLE~
The giant turtle trembled as its mind turned chaotic. It then directly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Seeing Murong Mingyue not attacking, Murong Ye cast a fierce glare at her. After that, he suggested to Duanmu Li. “This brat is dangerous, kill him first.”
Duanmu Li fell silent.
Honestly speaking, during this period of interaction, he had an extremely good impression of Sun Mo. Despite him disrupting his Four Symbols Life Ignition Great Formation, Duanmu Li still didn’t want to kill Sun Mo.
(If I can use him, how great would his help be to my undertaking?)
“Teacher Sun, join my great teacher circle!”
Duanmu Li issued an invitation again.
“Have you gone silly? You stupid fool!”
The glory and reserved aura of a secondary saint was currently tossed out of the window by Murong Ye. He completely had no regard for his image as he started cursing because this was simply too infuriating.
(Don’t you see the dragon soul is going to be snatched by Sun Mo?)
The dragon soul was currently accepting Sun Mo’s life energy as its mind unceasingly grew stronger.
Its intention wasn’t to squeeze Sun Mo dry. Actually, it was because its life origin was too immense. It was like a gigantic lake that had dried up over hundreds of years. If one wanted to fill it fully, a lot of water would be needed.
Hence, the dragon soul only wanted to recover to a state where it could unleash its lowest limit of strength.
However, this bit of strength was still something Sun Mo was incapable of enduring.
If Sun Mo died, as a battle pet that was enlisted via the spiritual divine language, the dragon soul would die as well. Just when its plan was about to fail, it didn’t expect Sun Mo to actually comprehend a portion of the dragon dance.
“T…this…”
The dragon soul was shocked.
This was the cultivation art of ancient giant dragons and resembled a battle dance during sacrificial offerings. It was a powerful and mysterious dance that could allow one to communicate with their divine soul, allowing one to cause the spirit qi of heaven and earth to flood forth.
In the Nine Provinces, there was a myriad of methods to cultivate. The most mainstream methods were to use various cultivation arts to absorb spirit qi to strengthen oneself.
There was another type. It was through the faith that believers gained from sacrificial offerings, akin to collecting the origin energy from joss flames.
To ancient giant dragons, the second type was evidently easier because humans would innately worship lifeforms like ‘divine dragons’.
“As expected, cooperating with geniuses is the best!”
The dragon soul sighed ruefully.
Recalling the past, the dragon soul remembered that the founder of the Dragon Subduing Academy also had shocking talent. The cooperation between a human and dragon would truly allow them to rush headlong through the Nine Provinces unhindered. Sadly, humans would always have fetters formed from their interactions in the mortal world.
The founder had an agreement with the dragon soul. When the creator died or ascended, the contract would be void, and the giant dragon would regain its freedom. During this period where the contract was binding, the giant dragon had to do its best to assist the creator.
But who would have known that the founder would choose to break his words for the sake of his clan’s prosperity, for his descendants to be able to continue standing at the peak of the world? He then sealed the dragon soul underneath the great dragon subduing formation.
This was why only the headmasters of successive generations could inherit the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. It was because of this huge scandal. Once word of this spread out, the reputation of the school would be finished.
These distracting thoughts flashed through the dragon soul’s mind. After that, its body trembled and it transformed into 12 clone bodies before lunging toward Murong Ye.
Actually, the cost-performance ratio would be the highest if it could kill Duanmu Li and Murong Ye. But the dragon soul wasn’t able to do this. Hence, it could only settle for the next best thing.
“I can only hope that Duanmu Li won’t harm Sun Mo due to his appreciation of him.”
The dragon soul silently prayed. (If Sun Mo isn’t willing to concede, I will persuade him to temporarily compromise.)
Dragon Suppression Soul Dance!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Multiple explosions occurred as spirit qi churned wildly.
“Damn. Mingyue, leave.”
Murong Ye’s expression greatly changed. He knew that the momentum was no longer on his side, and he could only choose to retreat temporarily.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Duanmu Li naturally wouldn’t give up such a hard-to-come-by opportunity. He directly charged out and attacked with his full strength.
Four Symbols Rebirth!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Under the two-pronged attacks from the dragon soul and Duanmu Li, Murong Ye could no longer persist and was annihilated.
Hu~ Hu~
Duanmu Li panted heavily. He looked at the similarly weakened dragon soul before turning his gaze onto Sun Mo.
Because Sun Mo had comprehended a portion of the giant dragon dance and absorbed the spirit qi in this place, he was breaking through.
