108: My future father-in-law? Let's fight first!
The feeling of being watched never faded from his body.
This made the East River Dragon King feel very uncomfortable; he had no sense of security at all.
With a thought, he drifted into a crack in the rocks, waited for a long time, and then transformed into a small flying insect to fly toward the depths of the great mountain.
This transformation technique was the East River Dragon King's specialty.
But what puzzled him immensely was that even so, the feeling of being watched still did not disappear!
He was flying in the air, shifting his gaze, when he discovered a bird staring at him from the canopy above.
A sense of crisis immediately emerged in his heart.
"Squawk!"
Accompanied by a crisp cry, the bird on the canopy swooped down, charging toward the small flying insect that the East River Dragon King had transformed into!
Could he really be this unlucky!
The East River Dragon King was somewhat helpless; he flapped his wings to dodge the bird's strike and dived into the bushes.
Before he could even catch his breath.
The rustling sound appeared again.
Directly ahead, a furry spider launched an attack on him.
The East River Dragon King dodged hurriedly, weaving between the branches, and it took a great deal of effort to avoid the spider.
"Extremely unlucky."
He muttered to himself in his heart.
"I should change into something safer."
After careful consideration, the East River Dragon King transformed into a small black snake, about the thickness of a little finger and over a foot long.
Utilizing the convenience of his body, he began to move forward again.
However.
He had only advanced a hundred zhang.
A foul-smelling gale swept in, and rapid footsteps sounded not far behind the East River Dragon King.
He turned his head and saw a pair of scarlet eyes staring at him from within the dense forest.
The East River Dragon King was greatly alarmed, hurriedly began to flee, and jumped straight into a small river not far ahead.
With a shake of his body, a koi appeared in the river.
A ferocious large black carp lunged out, opening its big mouth to bite at the koi.
"Splash!"
The river water churned; the koi leaped out from underwater, transformed into a sparrow in mid-air, and soared above the jungle.
"Squawk!"
A sharp cry echoed in the sky.
A hawk happened to appear above the sparrow, diving down and charging over like a blur.
"Again?!"
An angry low cry rang out above the jungle.
The East River Dragon King was somewhat annoyed and angry, and he began to flee once more.
He finally discovered that something was wrong.
No matter what he transformed into, he always encountered obstacles.
When he became an insect, birds attacked; when he became a beast, predators watched; when he became a koi in the river, black carp attacked; when he became a bird in the sky, hawks ambushed him...
Even when he turned into a wisp of water mist, gusts of wind blocked his path.
This gave the East River Dragon King the feeling... as if everything in the entire forest was rejecting him.
The great mountain did not welcome him, this outsider!
The East River Dragon King fell into deep thought; he was nearly a thousand years old now, longer than the time since the founding of the Great Gan.
In his youth, he traveled the world and could be considered well-informed.
But now, he was stumped.
He racked his brains but could not come up with a reasonable explanation.
What exactly was going on?
An unfavorable start; this was not a good omen!
The East River Dragon King did not harbor any thoughts of retreating; with his profound Cultivation Level supporting him, it would be fine even if he just barged in directly.
The reason he chose to sneak in was just to avoid a little trouble.
Furthermore, he was worried that if he performed too well, he would attract the attention of the Fengxian Division, and if they assigned him more work, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?
The fewer the troubles, the more comfortable life would be.
Drinking wine every day, looking at beautiful women, wouldn't it be wonderful to enjoy his twilight years?
The East River Dragon King had made up his mind.
Even if there were a thousand difficulties and dangers, he would sneak in in the most low-key way!
Just at this moment.
The East River Dragon King suddenly felt another gaze fall upon him.
An unprecedented feeling of being watched surged into his heart.
That gaze was cold, indifferent, and carried a biting chill within its calmness!
A great sense of horror emerged in the East River Dragon King's heart.
He was shocked, turned his head abruptly to look, and saw a cyan figure that had appeared on a distant hilltop, though he didn't know when.
A massive body was coiled on the hill, its tightly arranged scales reflecting cold light like steel armor, and a pair of golden eyes were looking this way.
Snake King!
In an instant, the East River Dragon King realized that he had been exposed!
Although he didn't know what was going on, there was clearly no time to dwell on it now.
"Boom!"
A surge of massive Demonic Qi shot into the sky, and water mist steamed everywhere.
The East River Dragon King dispelled his transformation technique, and a White-bearded Old Man dressed in magnificent robes appeared in the forest.
His expression was grave, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He hadn't noticed the other party's appearance at all.
Even now that he saw the other party, he couldn't perceive any aura; that green snake was like a stone, with its aura completely restrained all over its body.
The more this was the case, the graver the East River Dragon King's expression became.
The other party's strength was definitely not weak!
At the same time.
"Rumble!"
The sky was clear for ten thousand miles, yet a roll of thunder sounded.
Brilliant lightning intertwined, like a sharp sword slashing down fiercely!
A loud noise.
The lightning erupted in the jungle, blasting a deep pit into the ground.
The East River Dragon King's figure appeared not far from the deep pit, his heart shaken incessantly.
Thunder Technique!
A demonic cultivator in the deep mountains actually mastered the Thunder Technique.
"Good technique!"
He turned his head to look at the green snake in the distance and shouted in a low voice, "Good technique!"
Before the words had faded.
The East River Dragon King's figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had arrived in front of the hilltop where the green snake was; he reached out a hand and slapped down fiercely.
Magic power surged out, condensing into a hideous dragon claw several zhang in size in mid-air, clawing toward the green snake on the hilltop!
"Boom!"
A huge sound came from the top of the hill; half of the hill exploded, and several hideous cracks almost tore the entire hill apart!
"Such strong strength!"
In the distance, Xu Qing, who had dodged, felt a trace of excitement in his eyes.
He could see the old man's strength; he was only one step away from the threshold of six thousand years of Cultivation Level!
Coupled with his own Flood Dragon body, his strength was very formidable.
It could be said that this was the most powerful opponent Xu Qing had encountered since his Rebirth.
In his past life, Xu Qing was human and relatively rational, but the ferocity belonging to a demon hidden deep in his Bloodline could not be completely removed.
Fighting and slaughter were engraved in the deepest part of his bones and blood!
The green snake turned its head abruptly, its eyes full of excitement and anticipation.
Regardless of whether he was the future father-in-law or not, let's have a satisfying battle first!
Magic power surged wildly in his massive body.
A layer of faint light lit up on Xu Qing's body.
"Wind, come!"
A whisper spread throughout this forest.
"Whoosh!"
Under the Mountain God's decree, everything in the mountains responded!
A gale swept in, and the whistling airflow was like carving knives scraping bones, cutting everything the Mountain God pointed at!
