Do you know that it's the norm for battles between people of the same level to end in a draw?
Even if a winner is determined, it is common for the loser to escape smoothly. Even if a kill is achieved at the same level, the victor often has to pay a heavy price.
Today, you can not only instantly kill opponents of the same realm, but even in the Foundation Establishment stage, you can easily defeat opponents from a different realm...
Still not satisfied?
Are you only satisfied when you can slaughter enemies in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage as easily as beating up stray dogs on the street?!
Weihe Longzi had countless things he wanted to say. He even wanted to give Yun Chuan a good scolding and a good beating to correct his erroneous thoughts and views.
In the end, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go."
As he spoke, he turned around. Yun Chu'an walked ahead, and seeing that there were no more obstacles in front of him, he felt a little relieved, thinking that everything should pass smoothly today.
However, at that very moment, a woman's voice suddenly rang out, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave: "Yun Chu'an? And, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River?"
"Ha, it's like finding a needle in a haystack!"
That was the voice of Zou Min, the former second sister of the family and a green snake spirit.
Chapter 301 Three Thousand Springs
Damn it, why is she here too!
Zou Min was naturally there. Just as Yun Chu'an was planning to take the opportunity to escape, Zou Min had the same idea in mind.
She had just gone to war with her husband to fight against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Black Bull Clan, and then, taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, she turned and ran.
On the way, the commotion of Yun Chuan, who had transformed into a golden giant, fighting against a black bull in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage attracted her attention. Although the black bull immediately turned and fled, she still glanced in her direction.
Then, she immediately noticed something was wrong.
After all, she was once a high-ranking member of the Huai Shan family, and she had some understanding of the illusion techniques that Hua Caiyan possessed. At this moment, she could see many familiar traces at a glance, and after observing carefully for a while, she saw through Yun Chuan's true appearance!
When did that annoying son-in-law from the Huai Shan family end up here?
She was unsure, and after watching for a while, when she saw the Dragon Prince of the Wei River and the disguise on his face, she was overjoyed!
Sure enough, fate is on my side. The runaway dragon prince that the Yellow Python family had been searching for for several days was actually found by me today!
This is clearly fate's way of letting me enjoy the dragon's blood all to myself, making me shed my scales and transform into a complete true dragon!
Overjoyed, her eyes burned with passion as she stared at the Dragon Prince of the Wei River, unable to look away for even a moment.
Even though the Dragon Prince of the Wei River didn't recognize her, he felt his hair stand on end at this moment: "Brother Yun, save me!"
At this moment, Yun Chu'an felt a chill run down his spine. The Dragon Prince of the Wei River had asked him to save him, but how could he? His second sister had already broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, a genuine expert, far beyond his capabilities!
He had just fought with all his might against a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, Black Bull. How could he possibly fight a genuine late-Foundation Establishment cultivator now? He had no intention of fighting her. He turned around, grabbed Weihe Dragon Prince, and ran for his life: "Let's run!"
Zou Min walked behind, her long, narrow face full of mockery. She strode forward as if taking a leisurely stroll, seemingly unafraid that they would run away: "Ridiculous!"
She instantly teleported, catching up to the two men on their backs in the blink of an eye. Yun Chu'an swung his halberd backward, but her movements were swift and agile. With a light leap, she dodged his attack, bared her teeth, and spat out a stream of dark green poisonous gas!
Yun Chu'an's expression changed drastically. He held his breath, activated the lightning around his body, and in the blink of an eye, he escaped the coverage of the poisonous fog.
But the dragon prince of the Wei River was caught off guard and inhaled it. He quickly held his breath, but it was too late!
He felt a slight stinging pain in his lungs, followed by a surge of toxins that spread throughout his body, causing his spiritual energy to stagnate and his hands and feet to become numb, making it impossible for him to even use the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique!
His limbs were as stiff as stone, and he stumbled, almost falling to the ground. Yun Chu'an turned to look at him, anxious, and thrust his Guan Dao at Zou Min. However, the latter had no intention of fighting him head-on. She smiled and dodged behind him, looking him up and down with the eyes of a cat hunting a mouse.
She remained completely calm and never considered Yun Chu'an as her prey. The Wei River Dragon Prince was already poisoned; her goal had been achieved. Now, all she had to do was wait for the poison to take effect.
On the other side, Yun Chu'an, seeing that he couldn't hit her, had no choice but to turn around and grab Weihe Longzi's sleeve again, then dodge to the side.
He was extremely anxious. He looked around and his eyes lit up when he saw a cave that was clearly a den of demon cultivators.
The caves around here are not just caves; they are all lairs built by demon cultivators for themselves, with interconnected passages and often more than one exit.
If used properly, it's not impossible to shake off the pursuers.
He immediately hoisted the Wei River Dragon Prince onto his back, turned, and rushed into the cave. He had no other choice; he was no match for his second sister's speed, so he could only try this method to see if he could shake her off!
He led the dragon prince all the way into the cave. Behind him, the Green Snake Spirit Zou Min looked at him and couldn't help but sneer: "Laughable resistance!"
In a relaxed and cheerful mood, she wasn't in a hurry at all. She walked along behind them like a cat chasing a mouse.
She really didn't need to rush. The Dragon Prince of the Wei River had already been poisoned by her. Although it wasn't fatal, it was enough to make him lose all ability to resist.
Now she just needs to wait for the poison to fully take effect. This dragon will eventually become her prey and will never be able to escape her grasp!
Inside the cave, Yun Chu'an carried the Wei River Dragon Prince at breakneck speed. The cave was pitch black, and he had to silently chant incantations to enhance his eyes with spiritual power in order to see clearly.
He anxiously searched for a way out, his mind racing, thinking about how to escape and what he should do if Zou Min caught up with him again.
On his back, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River gave a bitter laugh and murmured, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you're in such a miserable state now..."
Yun Chu'an said in a low voice, "It's alright. This was my own choice to begin with. Continuing to drag it out would have been riskier. Today was actually the best opportunity. It was just bad luck!"
"Hang in there, just get through this. My family will come to our rescue, and then we'll be safe."
Weihe Longzi gritted his teeth and gasped for breath: "It's no use, brother. She's a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. If we try to run, we can't outrun her..."
Yun Chu'an's forehead nerves throbbed violently. How could he not know the current situation? Zou Min was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. For her to attack him would be as easy as him killing an opponent of the same realm. What could he possibly use to fight against her?
Unable to fight back or escape, his only option to survive was to abandon the Wei River Dragon Prince and hand him over to Zou Min in exchange for a chance to live.
But would he choose these?
All the previous efforts, hard work, and planning will be wasted, his disguised identity will be exposed, and all the achievements will be lost.
Even if you give up all of this, in the end you still have to place your hope of survival on a notoriously selfish, greedy, and two-faced Green Snake Demon.
He was unwilling to give up, gritting his teeth, his heart trembling: "I had already notified my sisters at home, and they had arranged a shelter for us and would also meet us."
"Once we get to that place, we'll be safe!"
"We won't be safe!" Weihe Longzi roared hoarsely, as if in a fit of rage. "Here, we can't count on anyone else; we can only count on ourselves!"
Yun Chu'an suddenly paused, stopped in her tracks, and turned to look at him: "What do you want to say?"
The dragon prince stared wide-eyed, his whites bloodshot and turning a deep red, like a demon.
"Brother Yun," he said, "I ask you a question, "Do you trust your own lightning? Are you willing to take a risk with your golden divine lightning?"
Yun Chu'an's heart trembled: "If I could kill that snake demon, of course I would! I have a grudge against her, but I hate that I don't have the strength to kill her!"
"Very well!" The Dragon Prince of the Wei River nodded emphatically. "Weren't you just disappointed that you didn't have a suitable method of attack, which prevented you from killing your powerful enemy?"
"Now, I will pass on to you the unique secret technique of my Yellow River Dragon Clan, the Three Thousand Springs!"
Chapter 302 The Dragon Clan's Secret Method of Attack and Kill
Yun Chu'an was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. But his heart pounded wildly, and a sliver of reason remained: "Is there still time?"
"There's still time!" Weihe Longzi said urgently. "The secret of 'Three Thousand Springs' isn't complicated; it's simply an offensive method combining lightning and sword techniques. The most complex part is actually the self-defense methods associated with it, including a series of cultivation techniques, spells, and magical treasures, and so on. Without these, if a cultivator who isn't skilled in lightning techniques were to use it without authorization, they would be electrocuted by the lightning they summoned before they could even kill the enemy!"
“But you are different, Brother Yun. You possess the finest golden divine lightning among all the lightning in the world. Your mastery of lightning magic is even higher than mine. Therefore, we can take bold risks and ignore the complicated details, directly teaching you the most essential things!”
His eyes were bloodshot, like a drowning man clutching at the only straw: "My life depends entirely on you!"
Yun Chu'an's heart pounded like thunder, his ears filled with the sound of his own heartbeat. But he knew this was not the time for excitement or exhilaration. Facing the bloodshot eyes of the Wei River Dragon Prince, he nodded forcefully: "Good!"
Without further delay, Long Zi began to explain rapidly. One technique after another entered Yun Chu'an's ears, and he listened intently with heightened concentration.
Weihe Longzi was right about one thing: Yun Chuan'an's skill in thunder magic was superior to his. After all, he had the knowledge of "Shenxiao Thunder Control True Technique (Part 1)" as a foundation, and the top-level cultivation method provided by the system allowed him to view thunder from a higher perspective from the very beginning and understand these things from a more fundamental point.
Therefore, at this moment, he understood and learned everything that Long Zi said immediately, without any awkwardness or hesitation, and was able to grasp the most essential things in an instant!
He took deep breaths, his soul trembling with joy at suddenly mastering such an exquisite method of attack. He marveled at the bold imagination and ingenious design of this method, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel nervous about the hidden risks.
As Weihe Longzi said, this is an extreme offensive method that involves both risks and rewards, and takes an unconventional approach. If used well, it can support any cultivator to kill someone of a higher level, but if used poorly, he will have already committed suicide before he can kill the enemy!
However, Yun Chuan, who possesses the Thunder Technique, is confident that he can use it to eliminate his opponent without taking any precautions!
"That's it."
After imparting the last incantation of "Three Thousand Springs," the Dragon Prince of the Wei River breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's all. You should be able to understand that there are great risks involved. Whether you use it or not is entirely up to you."
Yun Chu'an closed his eyes, reviewed the entire method in his mind, and after he had a clear understanding of it, he suddenly opened his eyes, and golden lightning flashed in his dark pupils.
“No need to worry,” he said. “I’ll go and take her head!”
……
Outside the cave, Zou Min followed the deadly aura lingering from the poisonous mist on the Wei River Dragon Prince's body and slowly walked forward.
From the very beginning, Yun Chu'an's attempt to shake her off was utterly wishful thinking. Her methods were so sophisticated that there was absolutely no way she would let her prey escape her grasp!
Therefore, when she saw Yun Chu'an carrying the Wei River Dragon Prince and hurriedly scrambling into the cave, she could only find it laughable.
You think you can shake me off with just a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?
Fine, run away. When you're exhausted and have no strength left to resist, and can only kneel on the ground begging for mercy, then I'll consider whether to kill you as well or take pity on you and spare your life.
After all, to some extent, I am able to enjoy the blood of the Wei River dragon's son all to myself thanks to you for going through all the trouble of bringing him here for me.
She began to fantasize about what heights she would reach after drinking dragon's blood, so that she could roam freely within and beyond the mountains and never have to care about anyone's opinion again.
She continued forward, lost in her own thoughts, but before she had taken more than a few steps, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
It is a place of peace and tranquility.
He stood upright, holding a Guan Dao (a type of halberd), his body shimmering with golden lightning, ready for battle.
His condition was actually not good at the moment. The fight with the black bull demon had already consumed most of his spiritual power, and he had not had a chance to replenish it.
The only things he can trust now are his own thunder magic and the attack methods passed down from ancient times by the Yellow River Dragon Clan, the Three Thousand Spring Suns.
Zou Min stopped and looked at Yun Chu'an ahead, realizing what he wanted to do, and was slightly surprised.
But then, she couldn't help but want to burst into laughter!
"You're still fantasizing about fighting me?!"
She clutched her stomach, looking at Yun Chu'an as if he were a joke. Good heavens, what was his cultivation level? A mere early Foundation Establishment stage, yet he put on this act towards her—who was he trying to scare?
At this moment, in Zou Min's eyes, Yun Chu'an was like a three-year-old child who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, holding a toy knife and baring his teeth at her, saying in a childish voice that he wanted to kill her.
It's both laughable and even has a touch of cuteness!
Yun Chu'an stared at her, but didn't waste any more words: "Prepare to die."
Before he finished speaking, golden lightning surged and rose from his body, and a vast amount of spiritual power swirled and surged around him, lifting his body into the air above the cave, where he looked down at the green snake below.
Zou Min's expression suddenly turned serious; she suddenly sensed a deadly threat. Without saying a word, she activated her internal energy, ready to dodge and then counterattack at any moment.
At the same instant, Yun Chu'an's body transformed into golden lightning, and in a flash, it struck down from the sky. The sharpness of the blade, along with the dazzling lightning, illuminated the entire cave!
"?!"
The green snake's scales suddenly stood on end, and its pupils contracted to the size of pinholes. She swiftly dodged backward, but Yun Chu'an was like a thunderbolt from the sky, appearing before her in the blink of an eye!
Zou Min felt her entire body screaming and roaring. She dodged the blade, but the golden lightning exploded and spread throughout her body in the blink of an eye.
"Well--!"
The lightning struck her body, and the woman immediately felt her hands and feet go numb, almost unable to move!
She was filled with fear and anger; her paralyzed body had greatly weakened its ability to move. But Yun Chu'an, who had landed, didn't stop for a moment. Lightning flashed, and his body returned to the sky once more, wielding his Guan Dao and slashing down from above!
"Well--!"
He gritted his teeth, his eyes wide with anger, pushing his own skills to the limit, even though his body was already close to its limit.
Once he actually got his hands on it, he discovered that the danger of "Three Thousand Springs" lay not only in the terrifying thunder, but also in the high speed generated when it was activated!
As he cleaved down from the sky, his body broke the sound barrier, and then he had to stop and turn instantly, returning to the sky to deliver another downward strike.
Each sudden acceleration and stop put immense pressure on his body. He felt a tearing pain in the muscles of his shoulders, upper arms, waist, abdomen, and back—all the price of unleashing this move!
But at this moment, he had no other choice. The blade of Guan Dao, crackling with lightning, slashed down at Zou Min from above for the second time!
"roll!"
Zou Min's heart pounded, realizing she was facing an extraordinary life-or-death crisis. She roared and leaped backward, unleashing a powerful gust of wind with her sleeve in an attempt to repel him.
However, her speed was far inferior to that of Yun Chu'an at this moment. The latter's blade was wrapped in lightning, cleaving through the qi she unleashed head-on, and was in front of her in the next instant!
In her haste, she had no choice but to extend both arms in an attempt to fight back—
