Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 764 - 685: Brazenly Kidnapping a Decent Woman in Broad Daylight?!

Chapter 764: Chapter 685: Brazenly Kidnapping a Decent Woman in Broad Daylight?!

Disregarding the will of the heavens, the future Saint who was still wild and unyielding in the present, ended up being beaten to her original form, demoted to dig out the Earth Lungs of Black Dragon Mountain within Poison Dragon Pond, and ultimately perished in the killing Tribulation, in contrast to the Three-tailed Black Fish.

This Poison Dragon was much wiser to the times.

He voluntarily joined the Heavenly Dao Sect Master early on, ultimately becoming a third-generation disciple of the Heavenly Daoist Sect and quite prestigious.

"However."

"Before the Poison Dragon Venerable was subdued by the Heavenly Dao Sect Master, he was not an easy character to deal with."

Lu Qingfeng looked at the Poison Dragon Venerable, his eyes sternly saying: "Thank you for your kind intentions, Your Majesty, but my wife and I have always enjoyed our freedom and carefree life, so please forgive us for declining."

Hearing this, the Poison Dragon Venerable was not annoyed and instead laughed heartily: "Since this is the case, how could we dare to insist?"

Having said this.

His glance fell upon the Three-tailed Black Fish.

It didn’t matter that they couldn’t win over two newly ascended Demon Immortals; as long as these two great demons didn’t join the ranks of the Three-tailed Black Fish or other Demon Kings, the situation at Black Wind Mountain wouldn’t change—

Nine Caves and Ten Streams.

Nineteen Demon Kings.

This was Black Wind Mountain’s balance, and given the Poison Dragon Venerable’s lazy temperament, he truly didn’t wish to stir trouble.

"In any case, my Guiyun Creek will always welcome the two of you!"

Upon seeing this, the Three-tailed Black Fish did not insist either.

The thoughts of the Poison Dragon Venerable were also what he had in mind.

All the Demon Kings in attendance.

With mutual considerations and constraints, even if Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le were unwilling to join any faction, they were not dare to be negligent, for fear of driving them to the opposition’s side.

Lu Qingfeng timely proposed to leave.

"Farewell!"

"Go well, go well!"

The thirteen Demon Kings in attendance immediately dispersed.

...

Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le did not linger on Black Wind Mountain and headed out.

As they walked.

Ao Le asked: "Husband, this place has clear mountains and beautiful waters, and with a little tidying up, it could be a great place for cultivation. If we don’t cultivate here, are we planning to go to Yellow Wind Ridge to join your brother?"

Clear mountains and beautiful waters?

Lu Qingfeng glanced at Ao Le, then looked around, and suddenly laughed.

That was true.

This ancient Black Wind Mountain, in his view, was indeed a barren wilderness, not a good place.

But the so-called ’poverty’ and ’evil’ were relative to the Earth Immortal World; in the Immortal Qin Realm, even Black Wind Mountain would definitely be a marvelous cultivation holy land.

"I don’t know if Big Brother is at Yellow Wind Ridge."

"No hurry."

"There’s still a great opportunity here; it would be a pity to leave."

Lu Qingfeng pondered in his heart, looking up, having already left Black Wind Mountain.

Activating his spirit light for observation, he saw a city populated and bustling with people after traveling three hundred or so miles towards the mountain’s exterior. Even outside the city, within a hundred miles there were signs of life.

The closer to Black Wind Mountain, the more desolate it got, nearly nine out of ten houses were empty.

Without a doubt.

It must’ve been that people were abducted and consumed by the great and small demons of Black Wind Mountain.

"Demons that eat people."

Lu Qingfeng’s eyebrows knitted slightly, he paused in his step.

Looking around and noting the location just outside the range of Black Wind Mountain, as well as the inevitable path leading from Black Wind Mountain to that human city, not far away was a small hill that could barely serve as a place of careful cultivation.

He immediately decided: "Let’s cultivate here and protect the lives within the city."

In doing so.

He would not have to leave Black Wind Mountain far behind and risk missing the Heavenly Dao Sect Master, and he would also not be associated with those people-eating Demon Kings, all while protecting the city’s inhabitants and honing his combat skills through skirmishes with those Demon Kings.

It was like killing several birds with one stone.

"I knew my husband is kind-hearted and can’t bear to see such evil deeds."

Ao Le couldn’t help but laugh. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Immediately.

The two set up a thatched cottage on the nearby hill and settled down.

This area, being barren land and turbid waters, had some spiritual energy but wasn’t suitable for maintaining purity and practicing Daoism, producing nothing but evil beings. To cultivate here, one would have to construct arrays and make certain arrangements.

Lu Qingfeng got busy at once.

The thatched cottage had just been raised.

The array for gathering the Five Elements Essence Qi wasn’t finished yet.

Whoosh, whoosh!

He saw dark clouds rolling in from the direction of Black Wind Mountain, mingled with yellow qi in the sky. Lu Qingfeng saw clearly that it was a demon, draped in yellow cape, wearing black tight-fitting armor, tiger-skin boots, and a fierce expression.

It was none other than the Poison Dragon Venerable who had just left not long ago.

This Poison Dragon boasted a formidable appearance, his Primordial Spirit contained within, exuding an overwhelming demonic aura.

"What a majestic Demon King of the deep mountains!"

Lu Qingfeng quietly watched, guessing what the Poison Dragon was up to.

Sure enough.

Before long.

He saw the dark clouds roll over the city’s outskirts, then turned back towards Black Wind Mountain.

However, in the midst of those dark clouds, there was not just the Poison Dragon alone; in each of his hands, he was carrying a young woman who had a fair beauty and a similar appearance. Their clothes also resembled each other’s—they were sisters, both having fainted from fear, motionless.

"To dare abduct a maiden in broad daylight!"

Lu Qingfeng saw this and was immediately incensed.

With a stomp, he flew into the air, and with a wave of his green bamboo staff, a stream of clear qi flowed, whisking the sisters away in an instant, delivering them beside Ao Le on the mountain below.

"Hmm?"

"Green Bamboo Brother, what is this about?"

The dark clouds pressed down, disappearing from view; as the Poison Dragon revealed his form, the Black Light Divine Halberd in hand, he looked at Lu Qingfeng with an unfriendly gaze.

He was a dragon naturally inclined towards lust.

Thinking that he had come out for nothing, and it would be a waste to return empty-handed, he changed direction and went outside Black Wind Mountain, intending to snatch two women to bring back for his pleasure.

But who would have thought that this little Bamboo Demon hadn’t gone far, and while he was unguarded, he reached out and snatched his prey away.

Anger arose in a flash.

"Merely two or three hundred miles away lies a Human Clan city, teeming with countless young maidens and beautiful wives. If Brother Bamboo delights in such spoils, you’re free to take your pick. Why bother snatching mine?"

Despite his fury, the Poison Dragon managed to restrain his wrath and have a rational discussion with Lu Qingfeng, even imparting some wisdom.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng’s expression turned solemn. "Heaven cherishes all life. These mortals are innocent; how can you, Great King, bear to abduct them?"

"Heh!"

"So you’re yet another bamboo demon wholly inclined towards benevolence."

The Poison Dragon chuckled mockingly, baring his teeth in a grin. "Such a fledgling. Allow me, the Great King, to properly educate you on the delightful affairs with mortal women."

No sooner had he spoken than the Poison Dragon raised his Black Light Divine Halberd, its eerie glow shimmering as he brought it smashing down upon Lu Qingfeng’s head.

"Bring it on!"

Lu Qingfeng’s mind tensed, aware of the force behind the attack, and took no chances. He quickly raised his green bamboo staff, channeling his Xuan Technique as twelve Demon Gods bestowed their blessing, meeting the fierce blow head-on.

Boom!

They separated upon impact!

"Ouch!"

Lu Qingfeng felt a numbness at the base of his thumb, his whole body trembling violently from the strike, barely able to withstand even a single clash.

Startled, he no longer dared to treat this Heavenly Immortal-level Demon King lightly as a sparring partner to polish his combat skills.

He stepped back swiftly.

Above his head rose the Five-Colored Divine Light.

The Poison Dragon, long ensconced in Black Wind Mountain, knew nothing of the formidable prestige of this Divine Power. Smirking viciously, he raised his great halberd again to strike at Lu Qingfeng.

Unbeknownst to him, he fell right into the trap. As the Divine Light flashed, his grip emptied – the Black Light Divine Halberd had vanished.

"The Black Light Divine Halberd!"

First panic struck the Poison Dragon.

Looking up, he saw the diminutive bamboo demon opposite him clutching a great halberd – if not his Divine Spear, then what could it be?

Shock followed immediately after.

His Black Light Divine Halberd was crafted from a sloughed Earth Dragon Tooth, pieced together with his Innate True Fire, painstakingly refined. Its power was extraordinary, intertwined with his spirit, responding as an extension of his will – effortlessly wielded.

It was infinitely powerful.

Yet today, it had been so easily snatched away by another.

The Poison Dragon was both startled and enraged.

He strode forward and bellowed, "You cunning bamboo demon, return my halberd!"

With a swipe through the air, he exchanged for a common halberd. Though just a Demon King with but a few hundred minions, the Poison Dragon was never short of weapons.

Compared to the Black Light Divine Halberd, however, this blade fell woefully short.

"Now, that’s more like it."

Lu Qingfeng pocketed the Black Light Divine Halberd and lunged toward the Poison Dragon with his green bamboo staff raised high.

Mana flowing, the battle commenced.

He hadn’t forgotten that this journey into the dream realm served two purposes: one for cultivation and the other to refine his combat skills.

At the level of Heavenly and Golden Immortals, every one of them was an old monster with years of cultivation, countless tricks, and contingencies up their sleeves. Relying solely on Divine Power, even with the multiplicity of Lu Qingfeng’s Divine Skills, a counter could prove fatal if he were to play his trump card too soon.

It was better to engage in close combat, to test the waters first.

Then, hitting them with Divine Power unexpectedly could significantly increase the odds of victory.

Even the mighty Great Sage Yellow Wind, Immortal Master Erlang, invincible with their Divine Skills, they too practiced martial arts diligently. Among those famous figures of Primordial times – the Three Altars Sea Meeting Gods, Combat Buddha, and the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven...

Was there any who didn’t master martial arts?

Surely there was a good reason for this.

Previously, Lu Qingfeng had relied heavily on Divine Skills but now he could use this opportunity to sharpen his own.

He decided to hold back on Divine Power for the moment, engaging the Poison Dragon in combat with his bamboo staff.

It may have seemed like a contest of martial prowess.

But it wasn’t just about fighting skills.

Mana and physical strength were also integral to the competition.

Lu Qingfeng practiced the Supreme Level Technique "Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill", making his mana exceptionally pure, further enhanced by his Body Refinement, fortifying his physical form to be extremely resilient.

As for the Poison Dragon.

Originally a venomous serpent, only a decade past did it survive the nine Great Heavenly Tribulations, transforming into a dragon, ingesting miasma and exhaling poisonous fog, possessing some Divine Skills and maneuvers. But without a legacy of teachings, relying only on self-discovery, how could it compare to Lu Qingfeng’s acquisition and consolidation of the incredible methods of "Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill"?

Its mana was mixed and impure.

Even as a Heavenly Immortal, in terms of quality or quantity, it was merely on par with Lu Qingfeng.

The only thing the Poison Dragon had was its formidable physical strength as a venomous dragon, slightly exceeding that of Lu Qingfeng.

But with Lu Qingfeng wielding his infused green bamboo staff so naturally and shielding himself with the Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe to augment his body, he was in no way inferior to the Poison Dragon.

Without the Black Light Divine Halberd, the Poison Dragon’s effectiveness waned by a third.

For a time.

The two found themselves evenly matched.

Here, Green Light flashed and the staff danced with ease; there, the Fine Steel Halberd swung fiercely, slicing through the air.

Green bamboo staff, lithe and spontaneous; Fine Steel Halberd, sturdy and sharp.

Whether staff or halberd.

A blow could send a soul to the Netherworld, a strike was sure to make one definitely see Yama. It all relied on quick reflexes and formidable strength. As both sides fought with abandon, amidst the chaos, it was unclear who would emerge unscathed and who would be wounded.

Lu Qingfeng was thrilled by the battle.

Each swing of the Poison Dragon’s great halberd sent ripples through Lu Qingfeng’s mana and jolted his body painfully, yet it paradoxically turned out beneficial as he covertly circulated his Xuan Technique. The external pounding solidified his mana, making it purer, while tempering his body to be even tougher.

He used to avoid combat, relying only on Divine Skills.

Now experiencing its advantages, he found it exhilarating and profoundly satisfying.
