I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 110: Escape
Zhang Chen looked at the dragon pearl in Zhang Shicheng's hand, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

If the nutrients in a dragon's body were divided, there is no doubt that blood accounts for 30%, flesh accounts for 30%, and the remaining 40% are all in the dragon pearl.

Moreover, that dragon bead contains at least 50% of the true dragon's energy!
If I could get the Jiaozhu, would I then have the chance to absorb the true dragon's energy and evolve my own dragon energy?

Zhang Shicheng saw that Zhang Chen had set his sights on his dragon pearl. He showed a hint of mockery in his eyes and casually tossed the dragon pearl in his hand, his voice full of disdain: "Boy, do you know what a dragon pearl is? This thing was conceived by my spirit, connected to my life, equivalent to a part of my body, and holds part of my true nature. If I don't die, no one can take my dragon pearl away. As for you expecting this waste to snatch my dragon pearl, it's simply wishful thinking. If he had this ability, why would he be chased to the sky and into the earth by me and be so embarrassed?"

Xie Xuan was insulted by Zhang Shicheng, and his face turned red with anger: "Old man, don't look down on me."

"The dragon pearl is right here. Come and get it if you have the guts!" Zhang Shicheng tossed the dragon pearl up and down in his hand, as if he was teasing a puppy.

Just at a certain moment when the dragon bead was thrown away again, suddenly a yellow divine light flew from afar. The yellow light was like a streak of silk, and it was close in an instant, and it went straight to the dragon bead thrown by Zhang Shicheng.

"Not good! The alchemist didn't run away, and he even dared to come back!" Zhang Shicheng realized something was wrong and wanted to summon back the flying dragon bead. At the same time, a Jiamu heavenly thunder shot towards the yellow light, trying to stop the opponent's actions. Unfortunately, the yellow light came so fast that Zhang Shicheng had no time to react. The dragon bead was knocked away and thrown farther away.

Seeing this scene, Xie Xuan was overjoyed and rushed to grab the dragon pearl. Zhang Shicheng's soul followed closely and wanted to take action. Unfortunately, Zhang Chen pulled the chain in his hand, and Zhang Shicheng's yang soul staggered and was pulled back.

"You brat! How dare you!" Zhang Shicheng turned around and glared at Zhang Chen, his eyes full of anger. It was obvious that Zhang Shicheng was really annoyed at this moment.

Unfortunately, it was useless even if he was angry, because the dragon bead was already in Xie Xuan's hand. The dragon bead kept buzzing, trying to resist and break free from Xie Xuan's restraints, but Xie Xuan was a great Yangshen Zhenren, so how could he let it break free?
"Let's work together to smash the dragon bead!" Xie Xuan suppressed the dragon bead in his hand and said to the Taoist Huang Tiandao beside him.

He knew his own strengths and weaknesses. If he took the Dragon Pearl alone, he would not be able to escape the old guy's pursuit. But if he smashed the Dragon Pearl, and everyone else smashed it, his chances of escaping would be greater.

Hearing Xie Xuan's words, Elder Wu, the Taoist priest of Huang Tian Dao, suddenly had his eyes brightened: "That makes sense. Such a precious object should be divided among us."

As he spoke, Xie Xuan suddenly mobilized his magical powers and slapped the dragon pearl, but the dragon pearl stood still like a mountain, and Xie Xuan's palm could not do anything to the dragon pearl.

"Let's do it together!"

Seeing this, Xie Xuan threw the dragon bead into the air. Then Elder Wu and Xie Xuan attacked the dragon bead together. However, after one attack, not even a trace was left on the dragon bead.

"Hahaha, you two ants, you also want to smash my Jiaozhu? Not to mention you, even if a twelfth-level god comes, he can't think of smashing my Jiaozhu. The Jiaozhu gathers the true dragon's luck, it is the most solid thing between heaven and earth, how can you shake it? You are like ants trying to shake a tree, you don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is." When Zhang Shicheng saw this scene, Yang Shen stood in place, no longer shocked and angry as before, the whole person was as steady as an old dog, it seemed that everything was under his control.

Looking at the intact dragon bead, Elder Wu and Xie Xuan were both a little confused and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"There is nothing in this world that is indestructible. All things in the world are interdependent and mutually exclusive. There must be a way to restrain this Jiaozhu." Zhang Chen said from the side.

Zhang Chen's words seemed to have inspired Xie Xuan. After listening to them, Xie Xuan's eyes swept over Zhang Shicheng's dragon body and finally fell on the inch-long dragon horn. Then the next moment, he directly rushed up with the dragon bead in his arms. Then, there was a crisp "crack" sound, like the sound of an egg breaking a shell. Then, he saw that the dragon bead actually turned into dozens of pieces and flew in all directions.

"Asshole! You dare to destroy my dragon pearl? I will extract your soul and refine your spirit until you die!" Zhang Shicheng's Yang Shen saw this scene and his eyes were about to burst. There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and his voice was full of anger. He used his magical power again and chopped at the two of them, wanting to fight them to the death.

Zhang Chen ignored Zhang Shicheng at this time, but controlled the water flow, and eight pieces of dragon pearl fragments the size of glass beads were rolled up and fell into his hands.

Then Zhang Chen turned around and ran without saying a word.

At this time, Zhang Shicheng must have fought a fierce battle with the two of them, and he also had to pick up the broken dragon pearl. If he didn't run away now, when would he run away?

Over there, Zhang Shicheng and three other people started fighting in the air, fighting for the fragments of the dragon pearl. Then a large number of dragon pearl fragments fell into the water and floated to all directions of the sky and earth with the water flow.

"The world is going to be in chaos! The Jiaozhu is broken, and it contains the destiny of a true dragon. I wonder how many people in this world will attain enlightenment and how many will become gods." Zhang Chen sighed inwardly.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a sound from behind. He saw Xie Xuan and Elder Wu rushing over, their voices full of panic. They stretched their necks and shouted from afar, "Daoyou, save me!"

Behind them, Zhang Shicheng had a mad look on his face, lightning bursting from his body, and he was riding his broken body to chase and kill the two men.

Even if the dragon pearl was broken, the two were still no match for Zhang Shicheng.

"Why aren't you two old guys coming after me?" Zhang Chen's face turned green when he saw the two people chasing after him. He turned around and continued on his way. Unfortunately, his speed was obviously not faster than that of the great cultivator in the Yang Shen realm. In just a few breaths, the two people had arrived first and landed on Zhang Chen's small ice boat.

"Why are you two following me?" Zhang Chen complained dissatisfiedly.

"I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to remind you that although the dragon pearl is broken, it can still be sensed by its original owner and found. You have to be careful." Xie Xuan said without blushing.

"Thank you!" Zhang Chen said unhappily.

"No need to thank me. After all, we are in the same boat, so we should still have some moral principles." Xie Xuan replied slowly, without any guilt in his voice.

Zhang Chen looked at Xie Xuan, his teeth itching with anger, but this was not the time to be angry, so he could only keep his head down and urge the ice boat. However, before the ice boat had gone far, a huge figure appeared on the opposite side, blocking the way of the ice boat. Zhang Shicheng actually arrived first after starting late, blocking the way ahead.

"What should we do?" Elder Wu looked at Zhang Chen. Now all hopes were placed on Zhang Chen. After all, only Zhang Chen could restrain the other party.

Zhang Chen's mouth was bitter with anger, but he couldn't turn hostile towards the two rogues. He could only look at Zhang Shicheng across from him and said, "Zhang Shicheng, why do you have to ask for trouble? Now that the Jiaozhu has been broken, let's part ways and go our separate ways on the Tongtian Avenue."

"I don't believe that your ability can be activated all the time. How can a mortal like you master such a method?" Zhang Shicheng's eyes showed a cold light: "When your ability is exhausted, it will be the end of the three of you."

Zhang Chen turned his head to look at Xie Xuan and Elder Wu, and said unhappily: "I said you are great masters after all, can't you even deal with a soul?"

"If he didn't have the power of Taotie to protect him, he would have died countless times." Xie Xuan's voice was full of helplessness. When the three of them were in a stalemate, suddenly there was a muffled thunder from the outside world, and even through the thick mud, it still entered the stone cave.

"This is the calamity of the walking dragon, urging him to overcome the calamity." When Elder Wu heard the thunder, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

Zhang Shicheng looked grim at this moment. He raised his head and looked towards the top of the cave. He seemed to be able to see the thunderclouds outside. Suddenly, he looked up to the sky and sighed helplessly: "The sky is not helping me!"

His voice was filled with helplessness, but he soon regained his firmness: "I will be able to successfully overcome the tribulation in three to five days, and then you will die."

After saying this, he actually abandoned his body, and his soul turned into a stream of light and flew away.

However, the calamity of heaven and earth kept urging him on. If he did not respond to it, something terrible would happen.

"We now have two choices. The first option is to wait for him to undergo the tribulation and then launch a surprise attack. The second option is to just run away." Elder Wu looked at Xie Xuan, then at Zhang Chen.

"He has mastered the Taotie bloodline rules, so the thunder tribulation can't do anything to him. By then, he will surely devour the thunder tribulation and use the power of the thunder tribulation to strengthen his soul. Let's just run away!" Xie Xuan said.

Elder Wu nodded upon hearing this:

"Go!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the person had already gone far away, leaving cleanly and neatly without any drag.

Xie Xuan did not leave in a hurry, but looked at Zhang Chen with his eyes: "Would this friend be willing to join my Inspection Office and serve the court?"

Zhang Chen glanced at Xie Xuan. He was afraid that this fellow would have a plan for him. Wouldn't it be a waste of his life if he went to the Inspection Office? If Xie Xuan really had a plan for him, he would probably die without knowing how he died.

However, Xie Xuan is the chief of the Northern Procuratorate. If he asks him to take care of his parents, it will also relieve him of his worries.

He could foresee that after this incident, the Pingbian Palace would take crazy revenge on his relatives.

As for whether his identity would be exposed in front of Xie Xuan, Zhang Chen didn't care. As long as Xie Xuan was not a fool, he would never dare to act recklessly after seeing his strange abilities.

And now everyone is facing Zhang Shicheng's pursuit, and Xie Xuan may ask for help from himself in the future.

So Zhang Chen spoke without hesitation: "I have not considered joining the imperial court for the time being, but there is one thing I would like to ask of you, Chieftain."

"Oh? You still have something to ask me? What is it? Just tell me. If I can do it, I will do it beautifully for you." When Xie Xuan heard that Zhang Chen was unwilling to surrender, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes, but when he heard that Zhang Chen had something to ask him, he immediately perked up.

He didn't mind helping Zhang Chen and making Zhang Chen owe him a favor. Just based on what this kid did today, it was worth his time to make friends with him.

"I am actually from the north and have a grudge against the Pingbian Palace. Now I want to get away, and I hope the leader can take care of my parents. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay the leader's kindness." Zhang Chen said solemnly.

"Do you have a grudge against the Pingbian Palace?" Xie Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. This was good news for him.

"Of course." Zhang Chen did not hide anything and directly told him about the grudge between himself and the Prince Pingbian's Mansion.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Xie Xuan's face became extremely ugly: "Damn King Pingbian, he actually dared to cause trouble under my nose, I will never forgive him!"

Zhang Chen laughed strangely upon hearing this: "Captain, be careful. It's not that you can't spare King Pingbian, I'm afraid King Pingbian's ancestors won't spare you either. After all, not only did we kill his physical body, we also destroyed his chance to transform into a dragon. This is a fight to the death."

Xie Xuan's face changed when he heard this. He was horrified. He had heard Zhang Chen call the other party "Zhang Shicheng" before and felt that it sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. After hearing Zhang Chen's words, his face changed drastically: "Are you saying that the one who transformed from a dragon into a dragon is the first generation of Pingbian King of Pingbian Palace?"

Zhang Chen nodded: "That's right! Chief, take care of yourself."

Xie Xuan's face changed when he heard that, but he calmed down immediately: "Don't be afraid, we have already cut off his physical life force, he must reincarnate within seven days. By then, his strength will be greatly reduced, and he should be the one to be afraid. Once he reincarnates, it will take ten or twenty years for him to recover his peak strength. I just need to run away and avoid his attention for six or seven days."

After finishing his words, Xie Xuan looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Let's run away quickly. Do you want me to take you out along the way?"

He could see that Zhang Chen was a mortal being, and it would take a lot of effort for him to get out of here.

Zhang Chen shook his head: "Let's say goodbye now."

Seeing that Zhang Chen was unwilling to go with him, Xie Xuan knew that he had other means, so he stopped trying to persuade him and turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

Watching Xie Xuan's back, Zhang Chen secretly took a deep breath and said, "The next step is to find a way to get into the True Dragon Tomb and obtain the twelfth-level mystery. As for the reincarnation of King Pingbian?"

"Hehehe~" Zhang Chen suddenly let out an obscene laugh. As long as the opponent was marked by his chain, he would not be able to hide from his perception even if he ran to the ends of the earth.

When the time comes and he reincarnates and takes over my body, I will run over and absorb his luck. Wouldn't I be able to gather the fate and luck of a true dragon?

Can I take his place and become a real dragon?
Then Zhang Chen looked at the fragment of the Jiaozhu in his hand. This thing was really troublesome. Zhang Shicheng could sense the Jiaozhu and rely on the opponent's Yang Shen's means. Once the skill was in cooling down, the opponent would come to him and kill him thousands of times.

But this thing is very precious and has unknown uses, so we can’t just throw it away, right?
"I forgot to ask Xie Xuan what the function of this dragon bead is." Zhang Chen muttered to himself that this was a bad decision.
