Chapter 676 Sky Demon Ge Qian!
"--boom!!!"
The moment the giant dragon collided with the immortal flower bud, the entire world seemed to explode.
Blinding beams of light erupted from the center of the collision, like a second sun rising, blinding everyone.
The light contained terrifying power of the Great Dao; even the aftershocks caused nearby cultivators to lose their footing and retreat.
The wind howled, sand and stones flew, and cracks appeared in the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the giant dragon let out a mournful roar, its massive body blasted away by the power of the Immortal Flower Bud, its blood cascading down from the sky like a waterfall, sprinkling onto the earth.
"It's dragon blood! This dragon has a powerful aura. Even if it's not a real dragon, it's no ordinary creature. The blood on its body must be precious!"
"Hurry and grab it! One sip of that stuff will transform you completely!"
"Mine... all of them are mine!"
Countless cultivators rushed toward the direction where the dragon blood fell, like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were filled with greed and madness.
That's the blood of a true dragon!
A legendary treasure that is extremely rare and hard to come by!
Even obtaining just a single drop would be enough to make one's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds and to temper one's physical body!
Looking at the frenzied crowd, a flicker of interest flashed in Shi Hao's eyes.
He instinctively wanted to rush over, but then stopped.
Too far.
The place where the dragon blood fell was deep in the no-man's land, at least a thousand miles away from them.
By the time they get there, the daylilies will probably be too cold.
Meanwhile, the cultivators who were already nearby rushed over first.
Lin Dong stomped his foot in frustration: "Damn it, if I had known about this earlier, I would have flown over there sooner!"
Luo Feng said calmly, "Opportunities are something you can't force. If you can seize them, then seize them; if you can't, then don't worry about it."
Han Li remained calm. He squinted at the figures vying for the dragon blood in the distance and muttered, "So many people are fighting over it. Even if we rush over, we might not be able to get it. Besides, while dragon blood is good, you need to be alive to enjoy it. Those ancient sect disciples will definitely fight each other to get it, and there will be a bloody battle. It's best if we don't get involved..."
Qian Renxue nodded in agreement: "Third Brother is right. Our goal is the Immortal Ancient Ruins, not these material possessions."
Although Lin Dong and the others were very unwilling, they had no other choice at the moment.
……
at the same time.
Chaos had already broken out in the distant mountains where dragon blood had fallen.
Countless cultivators weaved through the rain of blood, attempting to seize the dragon's blood.
Just then, a figure rushed towards the mountain ridge at an extremely fast speed.
The man was dressed in a blue robe, with a cold and stern face and a hint of arrogance in his eyes. His speed was extremely fast, and wherever he passed, the rocks were shattered layer by layer, as if they were made of paper.
Several cultivators who were blocking his way were easily knocked away by him, and they fainted before they could even scream.
"It's the Heavenly Demon Ge Qian!"
Someone recognized the person and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Upon hearing this, the others finally realized what was happening.
"Legend has it that he possesses the bloodline of an ancient celestial demon, making his strength unfathomable. He's a favorite in this year's Genius Battle, but I never expected him to be in this area..."
"He's also coming to steal the dragon blood? Does that mean we have no chance?"
Ge Qian ignored the discussions and fixed his gaze on a huge rock in front of him that was soaked in dragon blood.
On that rock, at least three drops of dragon blood had gathered together, radiating an alluring light.
His lips curled into a slight smile, smug and self-satisfied, as if those few drops of dragon blood were already his for the taking.
However, just as he was about to reach the boulder, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly came from the sky.
It was that giant dragon that had just been sent flying, but it actually flew back!
However, it was still bleeding, and most of its scales were shattered. Only the ferocity in its eyes was even more intense than before.
"—Roar!!!" The giant dragon opened its massive jaws, gathering all its divine power, and then charged at the Immortal Flower Bud once again.
"not good!"
Ge Qian's expression changed drastically.
He abruptly stopped, and without saying a word, retreated at an even faster speed than he had come.
As he retreated, he muttered to himself, "There are things that can be done, and things that cannot be done. Knowing when to advance and when to retreat, avoiding misfortune and welcoming fortune—this is the most basic quality of a supreme prodigy!"
The surrounding cultivators almost burst out laughing when they heard his words.
They were just scrambling for the dragon's blood, but now that they see danger, they're starting to act all high and mighty.
"--boom!!!"
The dragon clashed with the immortal flower bud once again.
This time, the scale of the attack was even more terrifying than before, and the entire no-man's-land seemed to tremble.
"--roar!!!"
The dragon let out a painful roar, its wounds widening, and large amounts of dragon blood rained down like a bloody storm.
"Here it comes again, and this time there's even more dragon blood!"
Some reckless cultivators charged forward again, completely disregarding the dragon's threat.
But this time, the dragon ignored the ants. It struggled to steady itself, and suddenly another pair of wings stretched out from its sides. All four wings opened at the same time, blotting out the sky, and then it flapped them violently.
"—Snap!"
The sky was directly shattered, and black spatial cracks spread out like a spider web.
With a flap of its wings, the giant dragon flew directly towards the outskirts of the no-man's-land.
It no longer bothered that immortal flower bud, but chose to leave.
"It's going to run away!"
"Quick, after it! It still has a lot of dragon blood on it!"
Some cultivators, blinded by greed, actually chased after the dragon.
But the dragon was flying too fast, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared into the horizon, leaving the cultivators bewildered in the wind.
However, although the dragon flew away, a large amount of things fell from the sky.
Those things were dark and densely packed, covering the sky and earth; it was impossible to tell whether they were dragon blood or dragon scales.
"More treasure has fallen! Hurry and grab it!"
"This time it's closer to us, charge!"
Countless cultivators went mad once again.
This time, the area where they fell was also very close to Shi Hao and his group.
"Let's go, let's rob some too!"
Lin Dong shouted excitedly and was the first to rush out.
Luo Feng and Shi Hao exchanged a glance and prepared to follow.
But just then, a chat group notification sound suddenly rang in Shi Hao's mind.
His heart sank. He opened the chat group and immediately saw the message sent by Zhu Chen!
[Zhu Chen: @Shi Hao @Lin Dong @Luo Feng @Han Li, don't go! Those things aren't dragon blood or dragon scales, they're not good stuff. Come back quickly!]
Luo Feng stopped immediately after receiving the message.
Han Li, Qian Renxue, and the others didn't move an inch. Only Lin Dong ran the fastest, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed several miles away, completely ignoring Zhu Chen's warning.
