Chapter 303 -301: Return to Dragon Martial Mountain

Su Chuanping entered the room and carefully took a seat, smilingly said, “Mr. Ning, do you have any instructions for Old Su?”

“I plan to offer you a great opportunity.”

“Oh?”

Su Chuanping was on alert, “May I know what kind of opportunity it is?”

Ning Daoran took out a handbook from his bosom and said, “This is a Martial Arts Secret Manual. Can you guess what it is?”

“This…”

Su Chuanping took a deep breath and said, “Could it be the Lingnan Martial Arts Hall’s Fierce Horse Flowing Light Boxing from the Ma family? That is said to be a Dark-order Mid-grade Boxing Technique… No… Could it be?”

“Look at yourself, lacking ambition.”

Ning Daoran said, “See for yourself.”

“Oh?”

Su Chuanping turned to the first page of the handbook, which boldly listed the title—

Upper Volume of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture.

…

“Ah?!”

Su Chuanping sprung up suddenly and let out a crow-like squawk, his voice hoarse as if there was a stone stuck in his throat, his face swelled with throbbing veins: “Dragon… Dragon Demon Heart Scripture? This… this…”

“No need to worry too much.”

Ning Daoran said, “I have used my Divine Sense to probe, the roots of that towering mushroom in the city originate from Dragon Martial Mountain. That means the catastrophe’s source is at Dragon Martial Mountain, and it’s highly likely that the entire site has been obliterated by the demon, so you can cultivate this half of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture. However… to avoid suspicion, you can rename it.”

He slightly raised his eyebrow, “Moreover, once you get the scripture, memorize it as quickly as possible. You know the rules of Jianghu: destroy it after reading, leave no trace. This half of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture can serve as a foundation for the Su family to settle elsewhere in the future, and only the True Disciples are taught, making it safer.”

“Alright!”

Su Chuanping was thrilled, but soon felt unsure again, “What if the Late-stage Baodan Ancestor Nie Shentong from Dragon Martial Mountain is still alive… Virtuous Younger Brother Ning, how did you come by this Dragon Demon Heart Scripture?”

“Rest assured.”

Ning Daoran said, “Nie Shentong and I are old acquaintances; this Dragon Demon Heart Scripture was personally gifted to me by him.”

“That’s excellent!”

Su Chuanping nodded in excitement.

After securing the handbook and stepping out of the door, Su Chuanping’s expression had already returned to normal.

…

The next morning.

The pharmacy that had been closed for two years finally reopened. Ning Daoran led the way with a Qiushui Sword, followed by Big Stupid Deer and Little Bai, with Su Chuanping and Su Mei protecting Chi Susu and Chi Haoran among others. The group left the pharmacy in single file and walked along the street.

At this time, Ji City had completely become a dead city.

Apart from themselves, all that could be seen were heaps of bones and intertwined black mushroom veins.

“It…”

A Martial Arts Academy Disciple looked at a gigantic black mushroom in the distance and said, “Will it attack us?”

“Of course.”

Ning Daoran responded with a faint smile.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Soon after, the street ahead was completely blocked by a jungle-like black fungal strands, leaving no way out.

“What should we do?”

Su Chuanping was anxious, feeling trapped.

“It’s okay.”

Ning Daoran stepped forward, saying, “I’ll clear the way, just follow from a distance.”

Speaking, a surge of Fierce Flames burst forth from his body, spinning around him, creating a field of Returning to the True Level of True Yang Furnace Technique, instantly burning all the black fungal strands to ash. Not only the Mystic Light Pill of the Gold Attribute could counteract the Wood Attribute poison, True Yang Furnace Technique’s Fire Attribute Magical Power could directly ignite the fungal strands and turn them to ash!

In a moment, the path Ning Daoran passed through was clear.

Just then, a hoarse voice came from the depths of the fungal jungle: “Kid, are you seeking death?”

The next instant, “swoosh swoosh swoosh,” numerous black tentacles surged out from the depths of the fungi, attacking Ning Daoran from all directions.

“Can’t hold back anymore?!”

Ning Daoran let out a low shout, as twenty-four Golden Silk Swords flew out simultaneously, each Flying Sword wrapped in the flames of True Yang Furnace Technique, slicing the black tentacles as easily as cutting vegetables.

“Go, follow up!”

He raised his sword, leading everyone to quickly press forward, swiftly reaching the location of the city gate.

At this point, the city gate was no longer visible, completely covered by layer upon layer of Black Mushroom that resembled froth. Ning Daoran did not hesitate, True Yang Furnace Technique’s Mana surged into the sky, burning all the fungal strands to ash. Given the main body of the Black Mushroom was not there, Ning Daoran had nothing to fear.

“Creeeak~~~”

The heavy city gate finally opened after two years.

Ning Daoran waved his hand, a surge of overwhelming flames swept forward, burning all the fungal strands ahead and creating a path leading outside the city.

“Quickly move!”

Little Bai flicked his sleeve, urging everyone to rapidly depart.

…

Not long after, a group of people burst out of a layer of black mist, and the world in front of them was no longer dark but lush and verdant green. At once, everyone felt a relief, as if they had escaped to safety.

“You all keep moving forward.”

Ning Daoran pointed towards the distance, “Old Lu, Little Bai, you two escort them forward for a few hundred more miles, and talk about it after they enter another city. I am going back to confront that demon.”

“Brother Ning…”

Su Mei shivered slightly, “Are you going back? Since we have already escaped, why don’t… you come with us… Don’t go back, that demon…”

“It’s okay.”

Ning Daoran shook his head, “Hurry on, and don’t tell anyone you’re from Ji City after you meet others, to avoid trouble. Old Lu, Little Bai, why haven’t you left yet?”

“Yes, Young Master!”

“Aoao~~”

The next moment, Little Bai and Big Stupid Deer released their aura, unquestionably escorting everyone away from Ji City.

…

After seeing the group off, Ning Daoran leaped into the air, turning into a golden tunneling light rushing back towards Ji City.

From the air, the entire city seemed to be enveloped in a dense web, and that black mushroom was located at the center, in the City Lord Mansion, but its root system was very developed, with the real source lying in Dragon Martial Mountain.

Thus, Ning Daoran didn’t bother with the black mushroom in the city, but went straight to the distant Dragon Martial Mountain carrying the Azure Dragon Spear.

“Boom—”

The air exploded, and in an instant, he arrived at the long-lost mountain range.

Dragon Martial Mountain was no longer as it once was; the entire mountain range was engulfed in dark demonic qi. There was also a huge black mushroom towering in the middle of Dragon Martial Mountain, even larger than the one in Ji City.

“Wuu wuu~~~”

Outside the mountain gate, two figures clad in Dragon Martial Mountain disciple attire were wandering. Their eyes glowed with a bloody luster, having long lost their senses, turned into walking corpses.

At the scent of the blood qi from Ning Daoran, they attacked like wild beasts.

“Seeking death?”

The spear’s radiance swept across, and the two turned into piles of foul-smelling rotting flesh.

They had already died long ago, and only their husks were still controlled by the demon.

Ning Daoran held his spear as he moved up the mountain. Along the way, the sight was too horrific to endure. Numerous disciples of Dragon Martial Mountain had been turned into neither human nor ghost-like puppets, each body decayed, their blood essence thoroughly drained by the demon, completely reduced to soullessly murderous husks.

At Dragon Martial Mountain, in front of the main hall.

Outside the great hall, a group of transformed disciples roamed. When they sensed the presence of flesh and blood in the air, they immediately became alert, scanning around with their now blind eyes.

“Disciples of Dragon Martial Mountain heed my command… Kill the invading enemy…”

From the main hall, a raspy and decaying voice emerged, mixed with a bit of Baodan Realm Martial Artist’s aura.

“Wuu wuu~~”

At least a hundred Mountain disciples came from all directions.

“Pitiful…”

Ning Daoran frowned, not speaking, but simply pointed gently towards the ground. Immediately, a burst of spiritual pressure exploded, turning into a storm that crushed everything around. Those Mountain disciples couldn’t resist; their bodies shattered, turning into piles of dry flesh and bones like hay.

“Vermin, dare you violate my Dragon Martial Mountain?”

From inside the main hall, the furious voice of that person came.

“Why hide and skulk, afraid to show yourself?”

Ning Daoran swung his spear, and suddenly, the Twenty-Second Layer of the Eternal Green Technique surged like a tide, instantly rushing into the main hall and lifting off the top of the building.

Yet, only to see at the Sect Leader’s position in the main hall, one person was sitting cross-legged, skin and flesh drained, hair decayed. His face still faintly recognizable, it was Nie Qinghe, the Sect Leader of Dragon Martial Mountain!

“Nie Qinghe, you have fallen to this state…” Ning Daoran’s gaze trembled slightly.

“Fellow Daoist Jianjia… Fellow Daoist Jianjia…”

Nie Qinghe, still retaining a bit of consciousness, laboriously looked up at Ning Daoran in the sky, with a crying tone, “Dragon Martial Mountain is finished… completely finished… Please, Fellow Daoist Jianjia, escort me on my last journey, Nie no longer wishes to suffer like this…”

“Your will shall be obeyed…”

Ning Daoran raised his hand and pointed, instantly a stream of True Yang Intense Flame burst forth, instantly igniting Nie Qinghe’s body, turning it into a pile of ashes, finally liberating him.

…

Watching the Sect Leader turn to ashes, Ning Daoran too felt a stir of compassion.

Thousands of years of Dragon Martial Mountain, passed down to this generation, yet ended by a demon from parts unknown, truly a lamentable fate.

However, what Ning Daoran needed most now was not anything else but the complete Dragon Demon Heart Scripture.

Leaving behind two Class A Paperfolk to search for the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture.

Ning Daoran then carried the Big Green Dragon and leaped up, heading directly towards the back mountain. On the summit of the rear mountain stood a towering black mushroom, the true body of that demon, and there was also an aura of a Late-stage Baodan Martial Artist there.

“Ssss sss sss~~”

Ning Daoran had not yet approached when several black tentacles burst from the smokey clouds of the black mushroom, chaotically throttling their way toward him, their suffocating demonic qi nearly making one choke.

“Break!”

Ning Daoran ran the True Yang Furnace Technique to its peak and fiercely speared down, a hundred zhang of spear radiance falling, immediately shattering countless tentacles to the ground, simultaneously splitting the black mushroom open, revealing a structure resembling blood-red vines below, countless tentacles flailing. And at the center of these tentacles, there appeared a figure, oddly familiar —

Nie Shentong!

At that moment, Nie Shentong’s body was penetrated by black vine-like tentacles, his entire being overflowing with demonic Qi, his eyes slowly opening with a look of complexity, frustration and helplessness mixed with arrogance and ambition.

“You finally arrived, old man almost forgot, we still have a battle left unfinished!”
