Chapter 102 Asking Taoist Friends to Transform into Dragons

Zhang Chen looked at the huge creature in front of him and shuddered with fear. It was a very big snake. He could swear to heaven that he had never seen such a big snake before.

The giant snake was thirty meters long and as thick as a truck. It fell from the pillar at the top of the cave and hit the water, causing huge waves.

Fortunately, in Zhang Chen's eyes, the other party was just an ordinary big snake, without any strange and unique airflow on its body.

"Why are you yelling? Don't forget that you are a god!" Zhang Chen was startled by the vixen's cry and scolded her in a bad mood.

"This place is filled with dragon energy. Any snakes that live here will mutate and evolve invisibly. Although this big snake is just an ordinary big snake, it's probably not far from becoming a monster." Zhang Chen activated the dragon energy sensing. From his sensing, there were quite a few big snakes in the cave, probably dozens of them, and there were countless small snakes.

"My chance has come. I have thought of a way to get close to the coffin." Zhang Chen activated his skill directly, and the giant snake opened its mouth. Then Zhang Chen leaped and jumped directly into the snake's belly.

"What are you doing?" The vixen's voice was full of surprise: "Are you unable to survive and want to feed the snake? I don't think you are that kind of fool."

Zhang Chen ignored the vixen's chattering and directly controlled the big snake to swim towards the Crystal Palace.

He could use the water flow to sense the shape of the palace outside in the water, so he didn't have to worry about running around without seeing the way.

He was worried that he would not have the chance to get close to the coffin in the Crystal Palace.

The big snake swam in the water, getting closer and closer to the Crystal Palace. Along the way, the river was full of snakes. It was simply a snake's nest, with all kinds of snakes, big and small.

Come to think of it, the dragon energy gathered here has aroused the instincts of many snakes. If the snakes could get a little bit of dragon energy, it would be of great benefit to them.

Not only were there many snakes in the lake outside the Crystal Palace, but as the big snake dived into the water and swam into the Crystal Palace, more snakes appeared in its perception.

Although there are many snakes here, and many of them are extremely large, they are still not powerful enough. Sometimes, just because a beast is strong doesn't mean it can become powerful enough.

This shows how difficult it is to get good luck.

Zhang Chen hid in the snake's belly, feeling the powerful squeezing and wriggling coming from the sticky abdominal cavity, which seemed to be crushing him. Zhang Chen quickly drew water vapor to freeze himself, turning himself into a big lump of ice. No matter how the big snake kept wriggling, it could not do anything to Zhang Chen.

When the snake entered the Crystal Palace, Zhang Chen was a little surprised. Although there was water vapor in the Crystal Palace, there was no water flow. This kind of waterproof technology could not be achieved even in the 21st world.

The giant snake kept shuttling back and forth in the Crystal Palace. Zhang Chen sensed the breath of life in the Crystal Palace and his pupils couldn't help but shrink. In his perception, the Crystal Palace was densely packed with snakes, which reminded him of a movie he had seen in his previous life called Man vs. Snake.

As for how to determine the location of the crystal coffin, this is not difficult for Zhang Chen. According to his previous experience of digging out the tomb of a real dragon named "Ying", the denser the snakes are, the closer it should be to the dragon.

In fact, Zhang Chen's guess was correct. He saw the big snake moving along the density of the snake group and directly entered the Crystal Palace without any obstruction. It went straight to a hall at the bottom of the Crystal Palace. He saw a crystal coffin quietly placed in the hall. As Zhang Chen thought about it, the abdominal muscles of the big snake squirmed for a while, and then it spit out the ice block that Zhang Chen had turned into.

Zhang Chen pretended to be dead at this time. He was completely wrapped in ice and turned into a big ice ball. His breathing and heartbeat had completely disappeared. Then he controlled the big snake to approach the crystal coffin, wanting to use the power of the big snake to lift the lid of the coffin.

As long as he opens the crystal coffin, he will have the opportunity to see the body of Pingbian King Zhang Shicheng, and then he can use his soul-collecting skills to mark him.

Following Zhang Chen's orders, the big snake wanted to crawl towards the crystal coffin. However, when it was ten meters away from the crystal coffin, its body collapsed to the ground. No matter how Zhang Chen gave orders, it could not move forward at all.

"Dragon power? Was there a real dragon's might suppressing the snake?"

Zhang Chen was thinking about something, but he didn't force it. He quietly let go of the snake and thought about his next plan: "All I have to do now is wait!"

“Wait until the dragon seed in the coffin breaks free. If the opponent breaks free, it will definitely break the coffin. That will be the time for me to mark the opponent’s soul.” Zhang Chen said secretly in his heart.

What will happen if you fail?
He was totally overthinking it. He never thought that he would fail!

At worst, he could draw out the other person's soul. No one would be able to do anything to anyone else, and he would also have time to escape.

"For me, if I want to maximize the benefits, I will pull out the opponent's soul when he is halfway through his transformation into a dragon and is half dead. Then, in front of his Yang Shen's eyes, I will suck all the blood out of his body."

Of course, Zhang Chen had made other preparations. At this time, the ice block squirmed and turned into a mask made entirely of weak water, which was worn on Zhang Chen's face.

"Even if I fail, I can't be exposed." Zhang Chen said to himself.

In the underground cave

However, the chief of the Inspection Office, Xie Xuan, followed the rope and fell into the big pit. The river water under his feet condensed and turned into a big boat, which carried all the people in the Inspection Office. Then Xie Xuan swept his eyes through the darkness, and after a brief identification, he directly urged the ice boat to go away.

Just a moment after Xie Xuan left, several figures were seen grabbing ropes and landing on the water as nimbly as monkeys.

The people who came were Elder Wu wearing a yellow turban, and behind him were a dozen farmers dressed as servants. At this time, everyone was stepping on the water with bare feet, and the water flow covered several people's ankles without sinking.

"Come with me!"

Elder Wu took a quick look at the underground cave in the dark, and like Xie Xuan, he automatically identified the direction and walked towards the depths of the cave. Although there was a weak water river, Elder Wu's yang spirit left his body and blew a strange wind, which actually swept more than a dozen of his subordinates and floated over the weak water.

Inside the palace, Zhang Chen was bored and practicing the visualization diagram. He visualized over and over again, trying to improve his proficiency in the visualization diagram as soon as possible, and then directly use the points to add to it when the time comes.

However, it was obvious that practicing the visualization diagram was not that easy. Zhang Chen practiced for more than a day when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from afar.

"Hey, someone actually came in?" Zhang Chen was shocked, but not panicked.

"My Lord, this is the crystal coffin that transformed into a dragon. It belongs to the dragon that wants to transform into a dragon."

At this moment, a cry of surprise came into Zhang Chen's ears.

"What a evil beast! The imperial court has been searching for him for a long time. Who would have thought that this evil beast was hiding in the north? He almost made us a powerful force." Xie Xuan looked at the crystal coffin with a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Sir, what should we do now?" the subordinate asked, "Should we wait until he turns from a dragon to a dragon before we take action?"

"I don't have that much time to wait! And if he is well prepared and accidentally transforms into a dragon, it will be a big trouble. No one can predict the progress of the transformation. If something goes wrong and he transforms into a twelfth-level being, we will all be dead." Xie Xuan said calmly:

"First, find the node of the Feng Shui formation and break the Feng Shui formation here, so that this dragon species loses the advantage of the geographical location. Without the help of the Feng Shui formation, it will be difficult for him to suppress such a huge amount of water transport. At that time, he will either be directly killed by the backlash of the water transport, or he will have no choice but to force himself to transform from a dragon into a dragon."

"If he is halfway through transforming from a dragon, we can launch a surprise attack and kill him. By then, although his blood will not be as good as that of a real dragon, it will still be able to extend his life by 200 years. We should play it safe now and not take any risks!" Xie Xuan said.

The reason why he brought a group of subordinates here was to destroy the Feng Shui formation.

"Sir, where is the center of the Feng Shui formation?" someone else asked.

Xie Xuan said nothing, but swept his eyes across the entire Crystal Palace, and saw that the Crystal Palace was not dark. Instead, it was like a fish tank with lights flickering in the dark night, and it looked like he had come to a dreamy fairy tale kingdom.

"There are two nodes in this Feng Shui formation. One is the pillar, and the other is the bead in the mouth of the real dragon sculpture. I will block the crystal coffin, and you guys go and break the pillar, and then dig the bead out of the real dragon sculpture." Xie Xuan's voice was filled with solemnity, and the energy around him began to gather: "Let's do it!"

Following Xie Xuan's order, some guards rushed towards the pillar, while others rushed towards the bead in the mouth of the real dragon sculpture.

"Asshole! Are you looking for death?"

At this moment, an angry roar came from the crystal coffin. The roar was like the roar of a dragon, which made several guards' hands and feet go limp. They fell to the ground and were unable to get up.

Xie Xuan frowned upon seeing this: "This is a big trouble! I didn't expect that Long Wei is even more terrifying than the legend says."

At this moment, the air above the crystal coffin twisted, forming a blurry shadow. The lower half of the shadow had a dragon tail and claws, but the upper half was still human flesh. At this moment, a pair of eyes looked at Xie Xuan: "Who are you? I am also a human. I hope you can help me. If I can successfully transform into a dragon in the future, I will never forget your kindness."

"Of course I know you are a human, but you, this evil dragon, have brought chaos to the world and caused a severe drought in the north, leaving countless people homeless. If you don't die, the people of the world will have no way out. Moreover, the emperor is about to take your blood to prolong his life, so please turn into a dragon now, so that I can wait for your blood essence to be further improved and prolong the life of the emperor." Xie Xuan's voice was full of domineering.

"You!" The figure on the coffin was so angry that his body was shaking, his eyes were full of frustration, but he still chose to compromise: "Daoyou, why do you have to fight to the death with me? At most, after I turn into a dragon, I will give some blood to the Great Victory Emperor. A little blood is not worth much."

"Haha, if you succeed in transforming into a dragon, will you still be so easy to talk to? Who would dare to bleed you then?" Xie Xuan smiled coldly, his voice full of contempt:
"Please transform into a dragon, fellow Taoist!"

"You have only just entered the state of Yang Shen, yet you dare to be so rude in front of me?" The voice of the figure on the coffin began to become gloomy. Since he knew that the matter could not be resolved amicably, he was of course no longer polite when speaking.

"I have just entered the Yang God realm, but you are now in a dormant stage. You cannot use your strength rashly. How much power can you exert at this moment? You should restrain your energy now, like a pregnant woman. You must not fight with others. Although you are much stronger than me, you can't do anything to me." Xie Xuan's voice was full of pride.

At this time, both sides focused their attention on the coffin, and no one noticed Zhang Chen's movements.

Zhang Chen was frozen in the ice, and inconspicuous in the darkness. When he heard the conversation between the two, he thought to himself, "Didn't the fox spirit say that there weren't many masters in the world? How come a Yang God realm being popped up now?"

"You are forcing me! Well, I will kill you first, and then continue my transformation into a dragon." The figure on the coffin said to himself.

He was also feeling bitter at this moment. He had been planning to transform into a dragon for hundreds of years, and everything had been going smoothly. However, who would have thought that at the last critical moment, when the true dragon's fate was returning to its place, something unexpected happened.

Logically speaking, he had everything right, his strength was already there, and his body was beginning to transform into a 'dragon'. Logically, the true dragon destiny between heaven and earth should have returned automatically long ago, but who knew that the true dragon destiny was actually like a shy girl, playing hide-and-seek with him, appearing and disappearing, making him feel itchy.

What can he do?
He is also very helpless!

He could sense that the true dragon's fate was in the Yellow River area, but he just couldn't summon it.

In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind. He was afraid that his true dragon fate had been taken away by someone, and now the other party was secretly coveting him. After he failed to transform into a dragon, the other party would secretly take advantage of him.

Otherwise, he would have transformed into a dragon long ago and would not have given these great monks a chance to react.
"kill!"

Since Zhang Shicheng had decided to take action, he did not hesitate and went straight towards Xie Xuan to kill him.
