Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 206 Tyrant Dragon Demon Core

As a guest advisor to Wu Ji of the former Da Chi Hou Kingdom, Wang Baichuan had naturally interacted with Wu Qing, Wu Heng, and others. Therefore, Wu Qing naturally knew Wang Baichuan and was aware of his defection to Mo Yuming. Hence, Wu Qing called Wang Baichuan a fence-sitter.

"Those who understand the times are heroes. Your Wu family's tyrannical and oppressive behavior has long since alienated everyone. If it weren't for the fortunate encounter with the young master and wise ruler, I, Wang Baichuan, would have already left. Your Wu family is not worth our service at all. It is a great pleasure for me, Wang Baichuan, to personally eliminate your great evils!"

Wang Baichuan wasn't angry; instead, he calmly retorted.

"It depends on whether you have this ability!"

As Wu Qing spoke fiercely, he pulled out a jet-black bead from his pocket. The moment this jet-black bead, about the size of an infant's fist, appeared, the space within a radius of several dozen feet in the cave was immediately filled with a suffocating sense of oppression, making one feel as if every inch of skin was being pricked by countless sharp spikes, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Oh no! Wu Qing is going to detonate the Tyrant Dragon Demon Core and take us all down with him! Stop him!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Baichuan hurriedly called out.

"Cough, hehe, it's too late! You can all be buried with me! If I can take two Heavenly Rank cultivators and a once-in-a-millennium prodigy down with me, then I, Wu Qing, will consider it worthwhile. Cough..."

Wu Qing's face was contorted with rage, and he appeared to be insane.

"Really? You're that confident?"

Mo Yuming stepped out from behind Wang Baichuan and spoke calmly to Wu Qing.

"You think your demon-slaying arrow can stop me? No matter how fast your arrow is, it can't outrun my thoughts... Huh..."

Wu Qing said sarcastically, but before he could finish speaking, he sensed something was wrong.

"You really are a forgetful person. You've already forgotten how I took your son's life outside the cave? I'm supposed to be a metal-type cultivator, after all!"

Mo Yuming retorted sarcastically.

"Ah! That damned Soul Sword!"

Just as he was about to detonate the demonic core in his hand, he felt a sharp pain. Only then did Wu Qing realize that he had lost control of his left hand. He watched helplessly as blood oozed from his wrist and the black dragon demonic core he was holding fell to the ground.

A faint cyan sword aura was still swirling around the palm. Just as it was about to fall to the ground, the palm and the demonic core in it suddenly stopped, then flew crookedly towards Mo Yuming.

But Wu Qing no longer had a chance to chase after the palm and the demon pill, because at the same time, Wang Baichuan and Eighth Master's fists had already landed on him.

Wu Qing was sent flying like a tattered sack by the two men, crashing heavily into the distant rock wall with a 'thud,' turning into a pile of mangled flesh without even uttering a sound.

Mo Yuming took the demonic pill that was slowly flying towards him. This was the second time he had controlled the soul sword. Although he was still very unfamiliar with it, it was much better than the first time.

He was able to wield the Soul Sword and perform simple movements. The main reason this sneak attack was successful was the damage inflicted on Wu Qing by the previous Demon-Slaying Arrow. Under such severe injury, his perception was naturally not as good as before.

Furthermore, the interference from two top experts, Wang Baichuan and Eighth Master, as well as the restraint of his spiritual power by the earth vein fire, greatly reduced Wu Qing's observation and perception abilities.

They no longer had the strength to fight against the combined efforts of two top experts, and under these circumstances, they were no longer able to notice Mo Yuming's subtle moves.

As Mo Yuming grasped the Demon Pill in his hand, he immediately felt a terrifying force directly impacting his mind, making him feel as if his mind could be overwhelmed at any moment.

If Mo Yuming hadn't known the power of the demonic pill beforehand and hadn't had two Heavenly Realm experts protecting him, he might have thrown it away immediately.

Mo Yuming exerted a great deal of effort to suppress the power of the demonic core and store it in his storage bag. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. A bead of sweat had already appeared on his face.

"This demonic pill is exceptionally powerful. Does Minister Wang know its origin?"

"This demonic core was obtained by Wu Qing thirty years ago in exchange for a thousand-year-old resurrection herb and several other precious medicinal herbs from a reclusive master. It is said to be the inner core of a top-tier demonic beast, the Tyrant Dragon King, which is equivalent to the strength of the eighth level of the Heavenly Rank."

Even if it were just the inner core of a demonic dragon, the power it contained would be comparable to that of a seventh-level Heavenly Rank expert. If Wu Qing had truly detonated it just now, I believe none of the five of us would have survived. Moreover, this cave would have been blasted down for at least dozens of miles.”

Wang Baichuan said with lingering fear.

"Besides its great power, does this demonic pill have any other uses?"

"Of course, it has many uses. The most direct benefit is that you can carry it with you and comprehend its power during cultivation, which can make your efforts twice as effective."

Because the Tyrant Dragon is a metal-type magical beast, those of you who can cultivate metal-type spiritual power can directly comprehend the profound spiritual power it contains, thus accelerating your cultivation speed.

There's even a chance to comprehend the Tyrant Dragon King's innate cultivation technique from it. Otherwise, why would Wu Qing have spent such a high price to obtain this demonic pill?

Wang Baichuan said.

"So we've struck gold!" Mo Yuming couldn't help but feel excited.

"Young Master, please take your time to experience it. It will greatly benefit your improvement of the metal-type profound art!"

Wang Baichuan said sincerely.

"Now that the two city lords of Jingzhou have both died, it won't be long before the outside world finds out. There will definitely be unrest then. Regardless of whether they know the inside story or the truth, there will definitely be people with ulterior motives who are targeting our Great Xia during this special period. Your Majesty needs to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible!"

“Yes, maintaining stability in Jingzhou is very beneficial to our stable development. If there are no unexpected changes, that good-for-nothing should take over as the city lord. We need to find a way to control that good-for-nothing and help him eliminate his opponents to successfully seize the position of city lord. In this way, we can control Jingzhou secretly without lifting a finger and plant a mole in Zhenglan Kingdom.”

Mo Yuming pondered for a moment.

"Wang Qing, you and Eighth Master should set up the illusion array at the entrance of the sinkhole as soon as possible, and then secretly infiltrate Jingzhou to lie in wait and assist me in secret. I will return to Jingzhou immediately to find a way to control that good-for-nothing Wu Yan and help him seize the position of city lord."

Ah Hao and Commander Yu returned to the fortress as soon as possible to await Commander Jiang's arrival and await his orders. Further arrangements would be made.
