Dragon Tamer

And the woman seemed to be using some mysterious Power of God and Mortality with her finger and palm techniques.

When her fingers moved, fierce bolts of lightning shot out, rivaling the full-force strike of a King-level Sword Master.

Even more powerful was her palm, for when she heavily pushed forward, it felt as though a massive surge rolled through the space. Despite nothing being there, one could see buildings and streets being crushed to dust, and the cultivators were pushed hundreds of meters away.

Hundreds and thousands of Dragon Shepherds and their dragons—some massive and ferocious, some entirely covered in Heavy Armor, and others coiling around the area—were all sent flying beyond the streets, ending up in complete disarray from just that one outward push!

Zhu Minglang’s Ten Thousand Steps Piercing Heart Sword couldn’t penetrate the force of her palm either…

A Power of God and Mortality never seen before.

But to these Sky Guests, it appeared to be quite ordinary.

Speaking of which, the abilities cultivated by these nine individuals varied greatly. Since they came from the same force, yet their powers were completely different, this was quite an uncommon situation.

Zhu Minglang did not go directly for the kill, after all, this was the first time hosting these guests. Gleaning more information from them would be of greater help for his future.

Like groping one’s way across a river by feeling the stones, these people would serve as a stepping stone for him.

“They all cultivate the Path of Extreme Desire, a method that allows rapid acquisition of cultivation base by indulging in their emotions. It’s somewhat extreme, but indeed a way to quickly shape oneself, especially in a world temporarily without rules; they can act wildly, and in just a month or two, reach the pinnacle of Extreme Desire,” Mr. Jinli seemed to know what Zhu Minglang was thinking and explained to him.

“What power is she using?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Don’t know, there are countless strange powers in this world, not everything is recorded in my vast sea of knowledge. But I, Lord Jinli, can assure you with a fish’s honor that Dragon Shepherds are the most noble, no matter which world they are in. Ever heard the saying: ‘Dragon Shepherd, Dragon Shepherd Soul, Dragon Shepherds are above them all’?” Mr. Jinli boasted, his self-assured tone almost making Zhu Minglang believe him.

“Why do I feel her cultivation base fluctuating so erratically?” Zhu Minglang, staring at the woman in black named Yang Huan, sensed her strangeness through his Insight.

Initially, when following these people, Zhu Minglang was not particularly concerned about the woman in hemp clothing, as the one who had displayed the highest cultivation base was the butcher.

However, after reaching the city, Zhu Minglang discovered that this vile woman’s cultivation base had risen to a higher level. Had she concealed her strength before? If he hadn’t been truly confident, this misjudgment could have brought him great trouble.

“It’s the result of Extreme Desire. Right now, she feels intense loathing for everything around her, wishing to crush you all like cockroaches. This hatred ignites her Extreme Desire and will sublime her cultivation base. Likewise, the butcher’s cultivation will skyrocket the stronger his killing intent and the more people he kills. So try to affect her state of mind; make her panic, make her fear. Even making her like you would work—just don’t let her feel extreme loathing, or her cultivation might rise even further,” Mr. Jinli said.

Make her like him?

That’s truly disgusting.

To someone like her, who treats people as beasts, Zhu Minglang couldn’t wait to let her reincarnate into an actual beast with a single sword strike.

Zhu Minglang engaged with her in a few more exchanges of blows.

Indeed, her cultivation was rising; with each move, her strength grew slightly more than before, and the extreme loathing on her face reached new heights. Zhu Minglang was certain that if he didn’t execute her, all the people of South State City would be brutally murdered by her.

The butcher killed people to fulfill his slaughter-focused cultivation, while this woman’s disgust was directed at all the living beings in the Lower Realm; she likely wouldn’t stop until she had eradicated a whole race!

Zhu Minglang unleashed several sword strikes, yet even the powerful Sword from the East was blocked by her peculiar palm technique.

Soon after, Zhu Minglang saw the disdain and loathing on her face, those slanted eyes making one truly uncomfortable all over.

He had intended to practice the Sword Territory, but it seemed unnecessary now. If she continued to increase her cultivation to a higher position, he would have to waste a Sword Awakening.

After the battle in Absolute Ridge Chengbang, the Sword Spirit Dragon had drunk enough fresh battle blood, and the Azure Blood Sword Inscription was once again radiant.

Zhu Minglang felt the Azure Blood Sword Inscription had grown stronger. In that war, he had slain quite a few King Level Realm Experts, and the Azure Blood Sword thirsted for the blood of slaughter…

However, if he had to use the Sword Awakening against a few lesser characters from the God Territory, the journey ahead would become even tougher.

“Miss Lingsha, could you come here for a moment?” Zhu Minglang suddenly called out.

“I’m not interested.” Nan Lingsha might have been feeling a bit under the weather today, entirely different from her usual self and completely devoid of any enthusiasm for battle. She would’ve wiped them all out before Zhu Minglang even had the chance, under normal circumstances.

Nan Lingsha’s cultivation base was not weak; like Li Yunzi, she seemed to have reclaimed her destiny’s essence, exuding a fairy-like grace in every movement.

“Just help me with one little thing, can you remove your veil?” Zhu Minglang asked earnestly.

Stepping on her painted boat, Nan Lingsha flew over with a celestial charm. She stood beside Zhu Minglang, poised atop the lofted pavilion.

Though somewhat puzzled, Nan Lingsha slowly removed her veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

Her beauty seemed to instantly captivate the entire city. Her status as a descendant of the goddess, combined with the return of her Life Soul, made her appear divine even with a simple brush in hand, dressed in humble attire that could not conceal her ultimate splendor.

If we’re talking about beings from beyond, the people of Black Heaven Peak were merely a bunch of mortals. Nan Lingsha, standing up high, embodied grace, elegance, and a noble, otherworldly aura; she was the true celestial being from beyond…

“This statue was erected for you!” the woman in black hemp clothes, Yang Huan, immediately recognized her and pointed at Nan Lingsha as she haughtily questioned.

If that Zhu Jie, who practiced extreme lewdness, were still alive, he probably would have erupted with desire the moment he saw Nan Lingsha, and his cultivation level might have even broken through to divinity, unfortunately, he’s dead and gone!

Nan Lingsha couldn’t be bothered to pay her any attention.

The meaning expressed in those captivating eyes couldn’t have been clearer: All of you here are trash, and this fairy doesn’t wish to dirty her hands.

Yang Huan, seeing no response from her, felt anger rising from her chest, swiftly showing on her face.

Furthermore, the beauty of Nan Lingsha that could “sink fish and fall geese” also made Yang Huan feel suffocated with discomfort. No matter how much she tried to contain it, she couldn’t suppress the jealousy!

Anger and envy, although both emotions can produce disgust, once anger and envy take control, the heart can generate a nearly insane killing intent, a pure and primal intent to kill that is distinct from mere loathing…

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon was toying with the butcher warrior, repeatedly provoking him to breach his restraint of extreme desire, making him gradually lose his indifference and reason.

Similarly, when Nan Lingsha removed her veil and showed her disdain for this group of Sky Guests, she instantly broke through the inner defenses of the woman in black hemp clothes!

If Nan Lingsha’s cultivation were low, it would’ve been fine.

But unfortunately, Yang Huan could feel that Nan Lingsha’s cultivation base was not inferior to anyone present!

Compete in spirit? Zhu Minglang had never seen anyone with a higher spirit than Nan Lingsha.

Upon first entering the city, this woman had destroyed Li Yunzi’s statue with a simple gesture, obviously not out of disgust, but out of anger toward the other’s aura, beauty, and the charm that commanded respect.

Having heard from Mr. Jinli before, to resolve the situation more easily, the best tactic was to first shatter this woman’s mental state, so Zhu Minglang tried by having Nan Lingsha reveal her face…

Before even attacking Nan Lingsha’s psyche, the opponent had already broken through her own boundary.

Indeed, a group of extremists in cultivation, how firm could their minds be.

“The sword strikes from the East!” Zhu Minglang, seeing an opportunity, decisively took action again.

The sword was the same, and the power was not as strong as the previous strike, but the woman in black hemp clothes, Yang Huan’s expression changed. She pushed out her right palm again, trying to form that shockwave to deflect Zhu Minglang’s flying sword.

However, this time, the sword light, like the pale glow of dawn, directly passed through her shock palm and glided across the face of the woman in black hemp clothes.

Yang Huan did react somewhat; she immediately tried to dodge to the side, but she was still nicked by the edge of the sword, and a bright red mark swiftly appeared on her cheek.

“The scar makes her face look a little more pleasant,” Nan Lingsha suddenly laughed.

The underlying meaning of this statement was: You’re already so irredeemably ugly, the blood from your injury actually adds some color to your face!

Sure enough, the woman in black hemp clothes, Yang Huan, completely broke down.

Her face was now overtaken by the surging flames of anger!

And the pride she’d shown from the start as someone from the Upper Realm had been trampled to nothing. She not only failed to stand on the same mental plane to compete with Nan Lingsha anymore but was instead being stepped on by Nan Lingsha, a mental level lower.

The disdain Nan Lingsha showed her was that of disgust when witnessing a vile creature’s antics.

Zhu Minglang looked at Nan Lingsha.

This extreme aloofness and disdain, paired with that flawless fairy-like beauty, and her laugh so splendid and dazzling… was somewhat cute.

Zhu Minglang thought if he were the woman being mocked, he’d have the urge to draw his sword and end himself!

Sly and cunning, it was indeed you, the painter auntie-in-law; your body showed you didn’t feel like fighting today, but your little mouth has so honestly dragged the battle into the level of the Asura Purgatory…

“Her cultivation has dropped!” Zhu Minglang could clearly feel the change in her cultivation.

So, it wasn’t that he had misjudged, it was that her sense of superiority and disgust that naturally arose after arriving in the city-state had caused her cultivation to surge.

Her true cultivation…

Heh, lower realm.
