Chapter 137: It Turns Out He Killed the Dragon Sovereign, Not Empty Words!
Chapter 137: It Turns Out He Killed the Dragon Sovereign, Not Empty Words!
Swoosh!
The sky was about to brighten.
A figure swiftly glided like the wind, quickly appearing in the wilderness.
After a moment, he arrived at a hilltop, his gaze calmly fixed on the distance.
His tall and sturdy figure, with thin lips, exuded the domineering aura of a tyrant.
It was none other than the Second Disciple of the Qingzhou Commander-in-Chief, the Tyrant Xiang Qingyu!
However, at this moment, in his gaze, there was not only calmness but also a faint hint of doubt.
In Yong'an Prefecture, he didn't sense any powerful demonic aura surging.
In fact, the demonic aura here was so thin that it was almost non-existent!
Didn't that Deputy Commander say that within the Mosu Mountains, there were traces of dozens of Demon Sage Realm beasts preparing to invade Qingzhou?
If that were truly the case, the concentration of demonic aura in the air should not be this thin.
Therefore, it could be said that those beasts had not yet launched their attack and entered Yong'an Prefecture!
Xiang Qingyu reached this conclusion in his heart.
This young man's luck was not bad.
Immediately after, another thought emerged in his heart.
Now that he had come to Yong'an Prefecture, it was only natural for him to deal with those beasts himself.
Not only would that young man not face a life-and-death crisis, but by following in his footsteps, he might also gain some not-insignificant merit.
Thinking thus, Xiang Qingyu took a step forward, demonstrating his lightfoot skills, and instantly disappeared from his original spot.
Since those demonic beasts in the Mosu Mountains had not yet invaded, he decided to first visit the Geng Word Camp in Yong'an Prefecture to assess the situation.
With his lightfoot skills, his speed was even faster than the galloping of a demonic horse.
Just half an hour later, Xiang Qingyu had already arrived outside the Geng Word Camp.
According to his perception, there were very few people in the camp at this moment, with only a small number of Demon Slayer Patrols and some ordinary soldiers.
As for the Deputy Commander in the Grandmaster Realm, he was not in the camp at all.
They must have all been dispatched to the outskirts of Yong'an Prefecture to prepare for the incoming invasion of those powerful Demon Sage Realm beasts.
And most importantly, according to his perception, his Junior Shidi was still in the camp, not having left.
Sitting in the central command, he was dispatching troops and commanding generals.
That also depended on the strength of his subordinates! If it were the Lin Yuan City, with the Commander-in-Chief present to dispatch troops and command generals, it would be more appropriate.
With the strength of the Geng Word Camp, the Deputy Commanders and Patrols at the front line might not even withstand a single move from those Demon Sage Realm beasts.
As the only formidable force within Yong'an Prefecture, instead of going to the county's edge to stand guard, he was staying in the camp, dispatching troops and commanding generals.
This was simply absurd!
With this thought, a hint of dissatisfaction arose in his heart.
He took a step forward, instantly appearing within the Geng Word Camp.
As his figure suddenly appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the Patrols and soldiers within the camp.
Their faces and expressions first became momentarily vigilant.
However, upon seeing Xiang Qingyu's clothing and appearance, they immediately relaxed.
"We have met with Xiang Sir!"
In all of Qingzhou, the name of the Tyrant was known to all, without exception.
Therefore, they were naturally also familiar with Xiang Qingyu's appearance.
"Hmm."
Xiang Qingyu calmly nodded and then said, "Call Qin Zheng out to see me."
He didn't want to waste any time. After calling Qin Zheng out, he would immediately head to the outskirts of Yong'an Prefecture to confront the invading beasts that might appear at any moment.
Xiang Qingyu's cold voice caused the Patrols and soldiers to instantly startle, and their expressions became somewhat unnatural.
Moreover, in the eyes of some who looked at Xiang Qingyu, there was already scrutiny and vigilance.
This change naturally didn't escape Xiang Qingyu's perception.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Just as he was about to say something, a calm voice suddenly sounded.
"You've finally arrived."
Following the source of the voice, he saw the curtain of a tent being lifted.
Then, a tall figure walked out.
Wearing a black robe with golden patterns, his upright posture naturally drew people's attention.
"Have you advanced to the Great Grandmaster Realm?"
Xiang Qingyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He immediately realized and nodded, then said, "No wonder you could handle those Demon Sage Realm beasts and Great Grandmasters."
He naturally acknowledged Qin Zheng's talent.
Not mentioning their initial battle, the fact that Qin Zheng could be taken in as a disciple by Wei Wujie proved Qin Zheng's extraordinary talent.
Such a genius, dealing with those ordinary Demon Sage Realm beasts and Great Grandmasters, was naturally an effortless task.
Similarly, it was no wonder that this young man dared to make such bold claims, wanting to return to Lin Yuan City to kill the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign.
Advancing to the Great Grandmaster Realm.
So, this was what this young man relied on.
For a moment, Xiang Qingyu felt a bit amused.
The Great Grandmaster Realm is divided into three sub-realms: Qi Invocation, Core Formation, and Mind Concentration!
Each realm has an enormous and insurmountable gap.
The Commander-in-Chief, Wei Wujie, is at the Mind Concentration peak, just half a step away from perfection, a powerful existence on the verge of advancing to the Martial Saint Realm.
Even such an existence did not dare to have full confidence in dealing with that Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign.
This newly promoted Great Grandmaster, who hasn't even officially started his Qi Invocation cultivation, dares to boast about returning to Linyuan City to kill the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign!
Truly, a young bull unafraid of tigers!
Various thoughts swirled in his mind.
He shook his head slightly and said, "Since you've been promoted, follow me into the Mosu Mountains and drive those monsters back."
But the youth before him didn't react.
Xiang Qingyu's eyebrows furrowed, and he suppressed the anger in his heart, shouting, "Do you know how powerful the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign is?"
"Even my master doesn't have a hundred percent certainty to defeat him! You've just been promoted to Great Grandmaster, how can you possibly kill the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign?"
"Moreover, at this moment, there are powerful monsters in the Mosu Mountains. Instead of guarding the Qingzhou border, what can you accomplish by going back?"
"Don't cause more trouble! After forcing back the monsters in the Mosu Mountains, I must quickly return to Linyuan City to assist my master in slaying the river dragon!"
With each shout, the youth before him remained unchanged.
Xiang Qingyu's anger erupted.
He abruptly reached out, wanting to teach his junior disciple a lesson.
During their previous encounter, he had been severely injured and couldn't exert his full strength.
Now, in perfect condition, his power surged, and his arm struck like a raging dragon emerging from a ravine, shooting forward.
Streams of Essence Energy flowed along his arm, enhancing the power of his strike.
However, this seemingly ordinary, yet all-out attack, appeared genuinely mundane before the youth.
The youth slowly extended his hand, seemingly slow but incredibly fast, gently patting his shoulder a moment earlier.
An unstoppable surge of overwhelming power instantly erupted!
It instantly dispersed his entire strength.
Xiang Qingyu felt this power like a vast ocean amidst a storm.
He was but a solitary boat on this ocean.
Unstoppable!
Cold sweat instantly drenched his body.
"Guard Yong'an Prefecture well."
At the same time, a calm voice sounded in his ear again.
Then, the figure brushed past him.
Whoosh! Xiang Qingyu snapped back to his senses.
"You!"
He spun around, intending to look at the young figure.
Suddenly, his gaze froze, his pupils constricted, and he witnessed a scene he'd never forget.
Demon horses, Demon Slayer Patrols, and several Deputy Commanders were escorting headless demon corpses, heading towards the Geng Word Camp.
These demons still emanated the Authority of the Demonic Sage Realm!
One, two, three, five, eight, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-four!
A total of twenty-four Demonic Sage Realm demons!
All of them were lifeless, placed on carts by the Demon Slayer Patrols of the Geng Word Camp and pulled back by the demon horses!
At this moment, Xiang Qingyu realized something.
The demons in the Mosu Mountains, intending to invade Qingzhou from Yong'an Prefecture, hadn't even started their invasion; they had already been killed!
The Geng Word Camp, with its scarce personnel, wasn't guarding the Yong'an Prefecture border but was retrieving these demon corpses!
The figure in the golden-patterned black robe, instead of commanding from the camp's core, was waiting for him to take over!
The youth's declaration to return to Linyuan City to slay the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign wasn't just empty boasting!
With this realization, all his previous thoughts were overturned.
Xiang Qingyu found it amusing.
This time, he found himself amusing!
Recalling the brief moment of their encounter and the vast, overwhelming power, he burst into laughter.
But his laughter carried mockery and self-ridicule.
There was also a sense of relief from sharing the burden.
Outside the Geng Word Camp.
Qin Zheng's figure stepped out, appearing before Pei Qing.
At this moment, the Deputy Commander of the Geng Word Camp still had a dazed expression, as if it were all unreal.
Twenty-four Demonic Sage Realm demons!
They had been killed at the edge of the Mosu Mountains!
These demons, capable of overturning the situation in Qingzhou and causing turmoil, had been slain single-handedly!
How powerful must one be to accomplish such a feat with such ease, slaying so many demons in one go?
Even after bringing back the demon corpses, he still felt it was unreal.
Until this moment, when Qin Zheng appeared before him.
He snapped out of his daze and respectfully said, "Sir Qin!"
"Commander Xiang will temporarily guard Yong'an Prefecture. Follow his orders."
Qin Zheng spoke calmly.
Pei Qing was startled, then quickly lowered his head and replied, "Yes!"
When he looked up again, the figure in the golden-patterned black robe had already disappeared from his sight.
