Chapter 0759: The Man-Eating Demon Dragon

Chapter 0759 The Devouring Demon Dragon

Qin Yun was also hiding nearby, watching. He hadn’t expected Long Qiaofeng to live in such a place—no wonder she held no affection for the Long family.

"Long Qiaofeng, we thought you’d be gone for a while, so we turned your room into a hog pen! If you don’t mind, you can rest in my room—I’ll join you!" A middle-aged man laughed loudly.

The others broke into laughter as well.

Upon hearing this, Long Qiaofeng immediately turned to leave the courtyard.

Just as she was about to exit, she saw several elders blocking the gate, among them a black-robed elder with a sinister face.

"You…" Long Qiaofeng’s expression darkened slightly when she saw the man in black.

"Qiaofeng, we were notified the moment you returned. Congratulations—you’ve been granted a rare opportunity to serve the Long family!" The man in black sneered. "You are a member of the Long family, yet you awakened a superfluous Phoenix Martial Spirit. Now… hehe!"

Qin Yun had heard from Long Qiaofeng before that the Long family wanted to extract her Phoenix Martial Spirit.

And now, they were making their move!

The others in the courtyard quickly surrounded Long Qiaofeng, preventing her from leaving.

The man in black was a Martial King, and there were many Half-Immortals in the mix.

Cornered and helpless, Long Qiaofeng’s face was filled with despair. She instinctively touched her necklace and sent a mental message to Qin Yun.

"Qin Yun, get out of here! The Long family has Half-Immortals—it’s too dangerous!"

Qin Yun received her message immediately, though she didn’t know he was watching nearby.

Long Qiaofeng lied to him only to make him leave the Long family.

After all, Qin Yun was the only one she could turn to for help, yet she chose to give up, fearing she might drag him down.

This touched Qin Yun to the core.

The people surrounding Long Qiaofeng all had vicious looks.

A few particularly despicable men even demanded she become their toy.

Everyone knew that once her martial spirit was extracted, she would be nothing but a worthless cripple.

But Long Qiaofeng was also a stunningly beautiful woman, one of the most famous beauties in Ao Xing Province. Even if she were crippled, many would still desire her.

"I’ll die before I let you win!" Long Qiaofeng’s icy voice carried a trace of sorrow.

Seeing her helplessness and despair, Qin Yun couldn’t help but recall his own childhood, when he had been surrounded by a group of people who extracted his spiritual veins.

This set his heart ablaze with fury!

As darkness fell, Qin Yun channeled his Shadow Power, melding into the darkness.

The man in black approaching Long Qiaofeng was clearly a Soulforger.

At the same time, several Half-Immortal middle-aged men seized Long Qiaofeng.

The man in black, a high-ranking elder and a rare Soulforger, produced a glowing bead and sneered. "The Phoenix Martial Spirit—a divine beast spirit—is utterly wasted on the likes of you!"

Long Qiaofeng tried to detonate her core but failed, thrashing wildly and screaming curses at them all.

The elder in black robes sneered as he extended the black orb toward her.

Everyone was watching the black orb, because next, Long Qiaofeng's martial soul would be extracted!

Just as their attention was focused on the orb, Qin Yun quietly approached from behind the black-robed elder.

The elder was wholly concentrated on controlling the strange orb, making it release a devouring force.

"Drop dead, you old bastard!" Qin Yun suddenly drew the Soul Sacred Blade and plunged it into the elder's skull.

It all happened too fast!

No one expected the mighty Martial King—armed with powerful defensive artifacts—to have his skull pierced so easily.

The weapon that pierced the elder's skull was a cracked, battered blade!

Yet it was the Soul Sacred Blade!

Even worse, once the blade struck, it instantly devoured the elder's soul!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Then, flying daggers sliced through the air.

Qin Yun had enhanced these daggers with Yao Fang's power and engraved them with the StarMoon Sigil!

Ordinary Martial Lords of the Profound Martial Realm, lacking strong defensive armor, were easy prey!

Most of the Profound Martial Realm Martial Lords here were nothing but weak—otherwise, they’d have gone with the others to the Sword Immortal Pavilion.

In the darkness, the courtyard was eerily quiet, strewn with corpses.

Qin Yun summoned the flying daggers back and helped Long Qiaofeng to her feet.

The moment Long Qiaofeng saw the daggers, she knew Qin Yun had come.

"You silly woman, I've been following you all along!" Qin Yun pinched her cheek. "Yet you still tried to trick me!"

Long Qiaofeng lowered her head, tears running down her cheeks.

"Alright, stop crying," Qin Yun said, wiping her tears away.

"Thank you," Long Qiaofeng sniffled, drying her tears.

"Back when we met, you feared death and pain—now you’re fearless. That's real progress!" Qin Yun chuckled, then took out a storage bag and collected the corpses.

Long Qiaofeng didn’t know how to express her gratitude, knowing she could never repay Qin Yun.

"Qin Yun, you're incredible! Despite not even being at the Profound Martial Realm, you took out so many in one go!" Long Qiaofeng marveled.

"I’m a damn Runes Master!" Qin Yun grinned. "Now hurry up and take me to that dragon!"

He took Long Qiaofeng's hand and used shadow power to shroud her in darkness.

He told her to stay in the shadows to avoid being seen.

Qin Yun had helped Long Qiaofeng all this time just for today!

After all, the dragon hidden in the Long family was incredibly well-hidden—not even most disciples knew about it.

Long Qiaofeng had also inquired for a long time before discovering the dragon's location.

Now, she was leading Qin Yun to that place.

If not for Long Qiaofeng's guidance, Qin Yun would never have guessed that the dragon was hidden within a cluster of old, dilapidated houses.

The area appeared abandoned, devoid of inhabitants, and pitch-black at night.

"Is it inside here?" Qin Yun whispered telepathically.

"Underneath all this!" Long Qiaofeng replied. "There's a powerful barrier that even Divine Arts can't break through!"

"Then we can only enter through the main gate!" Qin Yun said.

Long Qiaofeng led Qin Yun to the center of the old house cluster, where they saw a courtyard entrance hung with two lanterns.

Qin Yun immediately realized that the underground entrance had to be inside that courtyard.

The old house cluster was located in the northeast of the Mighty Dragon Villa. The area was mostly empty, with few buildings, and there were many small hills nearby.

No one was in the courtyard!

"Qiaofeng, where does the dragon emerge from when it comes out?" Qin Yun transmitted.

"That dragon can shape-shift into human form, so it walks out as a person!" Long Qiaofeng said, staring at a fake mountain up ahead. "The entrance is right there!"

Qin Yun walked over and inspected it, finding a huge iron gate.

The door stood several meters tall and was sealed by a powerful barrier.

Unable to use the Piercing Mystic Art to bypass it, Qin Yun had to call out Mo Mo.

Inside the first bead of Qin Yun's Nine Sun Divine Soul were two Immortal Essences. Mo Mo had been absorbing their energy, boosting her special powers.

The tiny, cute fairy emerged, swiftly disrupting the barrier's magic formations before returning to the Nine Sun Divine Soul.

Once the barrier was destroyed, Qin Yun grabbed Long Qiaofeng's hand and activated the Piercing Mystic Art, slipping past the huge iron gate.

Inside, total darkness surrounded them.

They soon made their way underground, where despite the darkness, the space was incredibly vast.

"Xiao Yun, that dragon is extremely powerful—even a Martial Emperor might not be able to handle it!" Ling Yuner warned. "You must use the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron properly!"

As Qin Yun's mental energy grew stronger and he got better at controlling the Sky Lion's power, using the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron became increasingly effortless.

The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron was especially deadly against members of the Long family or dragons, packing a serious punch.

"Who's there?!" a deep voice suddenly roared.

A red light flared up ahead.

A middle-aged man with matted red hair slowly approached.

At that moment, Qin Yun and Long Qiaofeng also noticed the vast underground plaza—strewn with dead bodies.

The red-haired man was even holding a severed thigh in his hand!

The Long family was actually feeding corpses to the dragon!

In other words, that dragon is a monster beast—only monster beasts enjoy eating humans, and the more they eat, the stronger they become!

"Perfect! I've been craving something fresh, and they just delivered it to me, hahaha..." The red-haired man bellowed with laughter.

It was clear that the red-haired man was the demonic dragon in human form!

Long Qiaofeng was extremely nervous, sensing the terrifying presence of the dragon, and tightly gripped Qin Yun's hand.

Without saying much, Qin Yun immediately summoned the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron!

As soon as the cauldron appeared, the red-haired man, who had been laughing while approaching, suddenly fell silent.

The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron slammed down, its crushing aura freezing the red-haired man in place.

However, sensing the danger, the red-haired man let out an earth-shaking roar!

The powerful sound waves shook the earth.

BOOM!

The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron landed on the red-haired man and gradually shrank in size.

"We got him!" Qin Yun exclaimed excitedly, then grabbed Long Qiaofeng and made a quick escape from the underground chamber.

Just as they left the courtyard, they detected the presences of over a dozen Martial Kings and Emperor Wu.

The dragon's earlier roar had shaken the entire Prestige Dragon Manor.

Those Martial Kings and Emperor Wu were well aware that a dragon had been raised here by the Long family for many years.

Both Qin Yun and Long Qiaofeng felt both thrilled and anxious, as they were still within the Prestige Dragon Manor.

Fortunately, it was nighttime. Using his shadow power, Qin Yun easily carried Long Qiaofeng past the villa's barrier and took flight.

"Qin Yun, it'll be obvious I returned, and with the soulsmith dead, they’ll definitely suspect me!" Long Qiaofeng said.

"What are you worried about? After disguising yourself, just hide in Blaze Moon City and lay low. Who would know?" Qin Yun chuckled.

"But I’m still worried it might implicate Blaze Moon City!" Long Qiaofeng sighed. "Paper can't contain fire—it’ll be discovered sooner or later!"

Understanding her concerns, Qin Yun took Long Qiaofeng back to the Divine Arms Palace and explained the situation to Bingxing, asking her to make arrangements.

After settling Long Qiaofeng, Qin Yun rushed straight to Sword City, desperate to find Xiao Yuemei and start their soul refinement together!
