Chapter 17: The Eclipse Dragon
Happiness is an illusion.
Human life is like weeds, meaningless, garbage-like things that can be ignored and discarded at will.
In this chaotic and strife world, dead people are really a very common thing, whether it is a demon beast, or an evil demon, or a natural disaster**, they can kill people.
Everyone has lost their favorite family members, whether it is brothers and sisters, or parents and friends, as long as they live in this world, the illusion of happiness will be lost all the time.
It was always seen on the roadside that nameless dry bones were abandoned beside the weeds, and occasionally a few stubby tombs could be seen, and it was fortunate that more people were swallowed by wild beasts and turned into stinking dung.
And those who survive, those who survive, they don't have time to cry, to grieve, to heal their wounds, to remember the dead, their first thing to think about is their own survival, the hope of tomorrow.
Strength is the truth.
To cultivate, there is no other way, only to cultivate, to gain strength, to get their own hope, this is what people who want to change all this should do.
Qiao Huizheng, a person who has nothing but strength.
Monsters destroyed his village, floods swept away his parents, and robbers killed his siblings...... The old house in the memory, the past that has passed, and the family affection that cannot be remembered have all disappeared completely.
But he still has to live, even if it is such a desperate world, such impermanent malice can't crush him, even in the face of the shadow of fate compiled, called the unknown, he has to struggle, desperately to smash, to live, to use his fists and strength, to open up a bright future!
Disaster is no longer his nightmare, but his bait, and Qiao Hui is not sinking into the dark quagmire in obedience. Instead, he burned it with his fury, turning this rancid and disgusting mud into the masonry that led him to the higher levels!
He was determined to become the strongest, and he had been taken from him enough. He wants to gain enough power to change his fate and change this dark world!
The light flickered.
Pain came from all over the body.
Opening his eyes slightly, Qiao Hui was looking blankly at the sky made of green jade.
Here it is...... Zhenyuan Sect?
The trance-like spirit began to coalesce gradually.
Why am I lying here? It's weird......
The icy temperature of the ground and the sharp pain at the wound stimulated his body and made his thinking clearer.
The scattered consciousness casts consciousness, and the logic slowly restarts its operation.
Then there was a sigh.
"What. Originally...... It's me who loses......"
Supporting his almost collapsed body with his will, his spine that was about to shatter was **, blood flowed from the torn wound on his arm, and a black-red aura escaped, Qiao Hui raised his head and looked ahead.
A pair of clear pupils glowing blue and stared at him.
“......”
"You're strong...... In this fight, I actually lost. ”
Gao Chuan, who was also covered in scars, but still had the power to act, half-squatted in front of Qiao Huizheng, supported his knees with his hands, and said sincerely. There was no hesitation in his heart, because he knew that what he said was indeed the truth.
If it weren't for the natural agitation of the core in the end, making his strength stronger, and maintaining an undefeated draw at most with his own strength alone, in fact, the cultivator in front of him, the belief in his heart was so strong that it even affected the reality, making Gao Chuan in a trance for a moment.
Their battles can decide victory or defeat in an instant. That's why he said that it was Qiao Hui who won.
“...... No, it's you who wins. ”
After a moment of silence, the seriously injured cultivator suddenly laughed. He smiled happily, even if he pulled the wound again, and a stream of blood flowed out.
He enjoyed the excitement and sobriety brought by the sharp pain, and said calmly, "Enough, this kind of battle is great." The result is the only criterion that determines the outcome of the game. ”
"And it's really strong, yours is true, it's really strong, but don't comfort me, because I also have a harvest, and after the injury is healed, it is when I Qiao Hui is forming a golden pill.
I'm sure you're about to break through, aren't you? What a terrifying talent, obviously so much younger than me...... Although, although there is only one side, through this battle, I feel that you are a friend that can be made, and at that time, you can come and watch how I formed the golden pill, and the right to accumulate experience. ”
Speaking of this, Qiao Huizheng frowned, "Then again, what's your name?" ”
“...... My name is Takagawa. ”
After recalling it carefully, Gao Chuan was stunned to find that Qiao Hui did not ask his name after introducing himself, but the battle was the most communicative in people's hearts, and he also understood that the character of the cultivator in front of him was like this, and it was not something to be underestimated and ignored, it could only be regarded as habit.
Then again, he had knocked down so many cultivators in the ring before, and how many times had he reported and asked for his name? Since he was also this virtue, he couldn't blame others either.
"Takagawa, Alpine and Flowing Water, good name, I remember. ”
Repeating, Qiao Huizheng nodded, indicating that he had remembered that he seemed to want to stand up, but his leg muscles were torn too much, and it was difficult to complete such an action alone.
Standing up and stretching out his right hand, Gao Chuan grabbed Qiao Huizheng's palm and pulled it up, while the seriously injured cultivator gradually stood up after a trembling.
A cultivator's body is not like a mortal, in addition to the musculoskeletal body, there is also spiritual power and will to support the physical body, so even if he is so seriously injured, as long as the spirit can hold on, he can continue to walk and fight.
"Then again, I actually noticed that strange smell on your body a long time ago...... It was because of this smell that I came on stage to fight against you from the beginning. ”
After being silent for a while, Qiao Huizheng seemed to suddenly remember something, so he said solemnly to Gao Chuan, "You may not believe it, but according to my experience, this is indeed a fact - you have the smell of dragon anger on your body." ”
"Dragon Fury?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze suddenly sharpened, Gao Chuan nodded silently, and then asked, "Why do you say that? What is the smell of dragon fury? Why do I have the smell of this kind of thing?"
He looked a little urgent.
"Don't worry, I'll explain right away. Since Qiao Huizheng said his discovery, he naturally clarified his head, and he said solemnly: "What do you say? Dragon, is the son of the earth, is the divine beast of the mother earth, it means that this piece of heaven and earth is the strongest ** and talent, born to master the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, everything, what I killed, is just a juvenile real dragon, not yet fully grown, the strength is the genus of the dragon, not a normal true dragon, but even so, its breath is so deep, let me not forget." ”
"And on your body, there is an incomparably strong true dragon mark, which is definitely left by an adult true dragon, and it is extremely deep, it seems to have existed before you cultivated, completely penetrating into the bone marrow, so it has not been found and removed. ”
Dragon...... Had he really come across such a thing?
There was no doubt that Qiao Hui was deceiving him, Gao Chuan knew that he was not that kind of person, that kind of person couldn't cut such a sword, and it was impossible to have that kind of will.
So there must be something about him that has something to do with dragons...... Let's make memories from the very beginning, when is it?
Dragon......
"Demon, look at the sword!"
A thunderous sound sounded in my heart.
"Right...... Dragon, coercion, the coercion that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, the blue-red spiritual power, the real person of Changdui, the first time I saw a cultivator......"
Muttering to himself, Takakawa suddenly realized, he suddenly recalled the key point.
"Eclipse Dragon? I see......
His eyes became gloomy, his killing intent converged, and the nameless anger began to burn, he slowly closed his eyes, and the scene began to reappear in his heart.
The monk, dressed in blue, recalls the small mountain village, where the villagers' broken bones, tooth marks on their corpses, were burned to the ground and charred into children's babies.
The villagers who took care of him, took care of this boy, and let the fatherless and motherless boy grow up, they all died, whether they were men, women, and children, all of them died from the mouth of the demon beast brought by the Earth Eclipse Dragon or the fire, and they died miserably, and there were no corpses.
These images were etched in the back of his mind.
This is a feud, a deep feud in the sea of blood.
And revenge will be avenged.
Opening his eyes, Takakawa recalled the tomb he had carved with his own hands, the village that had long since been reduced to ashes.
Is that...... A turning point in his life.
"I see, I said how do you feel like something is missing...... Those demons turned out to make me forget this, no wonder...... It's all these things......"
Sighing, and as if admiring, Gao Chuan's eyes became more and more cold and firm, "If I recall this scene when I condense the golden pill, wouldn't I be going to go mad on the spot and fall into the infinite......?"
Clenching his fists, he smiled a sinister smile.
"If you don't have power, you'll die, you can't do anything, you can't keep even the bones, so I want to cultivate immortals, I want to cultivate truth, I want to ask for the Tao, I want to - get power!"
"This is my Takagawa path! I said why did I always feel like I had fallen behind before...... It's dull!"
Looking back at Qiao Huizheng, Gao Chuan's face was extremely solemn and serious, he bowed deeply and thanked, "Thank you Brother Qiao for reminding me, it reminds me of my heart!"
After saying that, he stepped forward and hugged him fiercely to express his deep gratitude.
"Wait, wait, wait, it hurts!!"
The seriously injured cultivator exclaimed bitterly, "Although I don't know why, do you want to thank him!"
"How can you express gratitude without force?"
Naturally, Gao Chuan already realized what he needed to do.
"It doesn't matter what it is, now, I'm going to slaughter the dragon. (To be continued.) )
