Chapter 964 Bad News
The power of the dragon vein was revealed, and the aura of the blue dragon roamed in the hall.
The source of the aura of the blue dragon was in the dragon coffin.
Everyone followed the clear light and saw that in the dragon coffin, the fourth prince, who had been dead for many years and was calm and peaceful, was holding a piece of blue bone.
This blue bone was half the length of an arm, jade-green, crystal clear, with strange heads and tails, and the bones were the creation of heaven and earth, and the whole body was like a young dragon.
"Dragon vein!!"
Elder Xiongpi felt that his blood was boiling, and his heart was very excited. His eyes turned red and he rushed to the dragon coffin, trying to grab the dragon vein in the coffin.
Shen Tu Ao was infused with the aura of the blue dragon, and his body was full of clear light, as if he had washed his tendons and marrow. The aura that was gradually weakening became stronger little by little, and this time the dragon's power was even more majestic and solemn.
Seeing that Elder Xiong Bin coveted the dragon vein, Shen Tu Ao showed anger on his face and punched out.
A green dragon shadow roared and rushed straight to Elder Xiong Bin.
Elder Xiong Bin turned his left hand into a python and fought with the blue dragon. In just a moment, the blue dragon's aura suppressed his demonic power. His arm was bloody and was blasted several feet away.
Young Master Xuan was greedy and immediately said:
"Shen Shouxing, take the dragon vein for me, and I will return your son to you!"
Shen Shouxing was slightly angry and his eyes were cold.
He didn't like this Young Master Xuan giving him orders, but his stupid son became a bargaining chip, and his life and death were in the hands of others, so he had no choice.
But he also had some doubts in his heart.
Is this thing... really the dragon vein of the Great Wilderness? Why is such a heaven-defying thing hidden in this tomb in the lonely mountain?
Elder Shen, he never mentioned it...
Shen Shouxing's eyes darkened, and then he drew out the white jade sword, urging the peak of the golden elixir, like a crystal-like spiritual power, and the sword and the man merged into one, killing Shen Tu'ao.
Xun Ziyou never expected that he could see the dragon vein of the Great Wilderness Royal Family with his own eyes during this trip to the tomb of Gushan.
Although he didn't know whether this dragon vein was real or fake, he couldn't let it fall into the hands of the devil.
What's more, Shen Tu'ao was absorbing the power of the dragon vein.
If he was left alone and let him resonate with the dragon vein, even if everyone joined forces, they might not be able to control him.
Xun Ziyou also urged the Taixu Sword Art, turning into sword energy, and attacked Shen Tu'ao.
As for Master Gu and Fan Jin, they originally came to save Mo Hua, but they didn't expect that they would be involved in such an incredible cause and effect without knowing it. They were shocked and a little incredible.
It would be impossible for them to say they didn't want the dragon vein that was so bright and noble.
But fortunately, in the face of greed, both of them were still rational and knew that this kind of thing was not something they could get involved in.
This kind of life-and-death killing situation was not something they could get involved in.
Therefore, the two of them only guarded the periphery, occasionally made a move to assist, and retreated after one strike, and did not dare to go deep into this battle situation of the late Jindan period.
On the contrary, the two of them still focused more on Mo Hua.
Even if they got something like the dragon vein, they might not be blessed to enjoy it.
But the safety of young Master Mo was really related to the future blessings of the two of them.
Fan Jin and the others were worried in their hearts, and at the same time they kept staring at Master Xuan, thinking that if there was a chance, they would snatch Mo Hua away.
Mo Hua was still dazed on the surface, but he was secretly paying attention to the battle situation.
Once the dragon vein appeared, the situation became more and more complicated.
And the battle situation gradually became fierce.
Shen Tuao relied on the power of Azure Dragon to fight one against three, dealing with the close combat of Elder Xiongbi, who was full of demonic power, and the swordsmanship of Elders Shen Shouxing and Xun, as well as the vicious blood poison of Young Master Xuan, and the Dao Heart Demon that interfered with his mind from time to time...
Mo Hua watched the battle of these golden elixirs.
At first, he was still thinking about other things, but as he watched, his expression became more and more focused.
This was a good opportunity to watch the battle.
There are many things to pay attention to in the battle between cultivators.
Cultivation, Taoism and physical skills, these apparent strengths are certainly important.
But the experience of fighting is also very precious.
Without the experience of actual combat, even if you have cultivation, it is just talk on paper and cannot be considered truly powerful.
Among the cultivators present, there are cultivators from big families, elders from big sects, powerful demon cultivators, and royal descendants of the Great Wilderness lineage.
These people fought to the death, and their killing moves were frequent. There were too many places to refer to and learn from their Taoism and the conversion of attack and defense.
Actual combat is the best teacher.
Mo Hua cannot participate in this kind of Jindan-level battle now, but he can learn first.
After breaking through the Jindan in the future, he will use all of this for himself, and step by step become a truly powerful Jindan master who is proficient in fighting and killing.
Mo Hua's eyes gradually deepened, and as his eyes flowed, he recorded this top-level Jindan battle in detail and engraved it in his mind.
Looking at it, Mo Hua suddenly frowned.
Others may not understand it, but as a formation master, Mo Hua can sense that the four-elephant dragon pattern on Shen Tu Ao's body is undergoing subtle changes.
And he had previously restored a part of it through calculations - that is, the four-elephant blue dragon formation of the first eighteen formation patterns.
In contrast, this perception became more and more vivid.
The Four Symbols Azure Dragon Formation on Shen Tuao's body was indeed changing. Under the "correction" of the dragon vein's aura, it was transforming from an evil dragon into a real Azure Dragon.
And by further studying it through calculation, Mo Hua could sense that the change in this dragon pattern actually contained a large amount of "evolution" of the Four Symbols Demon Pattern.
It seemed as if all this was calculated in advance.
First, use the Ten Thousand Monsters to raise the evil dragon, and then turn the evil dragon into a blue dragon...
The more Mo Hua thought about it, the weirder it felt.
In the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley, all kinds of monster patterns and animal patterns collected from him flashed through his mind one by one.
In a flash, Mo Hua's heart suddenly shook, and he had an epiphany.
He understood what Mr. Tu did in the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley, and how he used the Ten Thousand Monsters to raise the Four Symbols Dragon Pattern.
The so-called dragon is not a single mythical beast.
Its head is a horse, its horns are deer, its eyes are turtles, its ears are cows, its scales are fish, its body is a snake, its claws are eagles, and its palms are tigers...
Only by gathering the strengths of the Ten Thousand Monsters can you become a dragon.
Mr. Tu followed this principle and hunted monsters and raised monster cultivators in the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley. He also used these monsters and monster cultivators to conduct a large number of experiments and research, and deeply applied the Four Symbols Monster Pattern.
Then, the powerful demon patterns were extracted and their essence was integrated together to piece together a powerful "evil dragon".
The deduction of this formation is similar to "returning to the source".
But it is not to turn all into one, but more like a "stitching" and "patchwork" of the strengths of each family.
Because it condenses the strengths of all demons, the Four Evil Dragons can make all demons submit and become extremely powerful.
After the Ten Thousand Demons Valley was exposed, many things were destroyed in advance.
And those destroyed formation diagrams, classics, jade slips, and various records must be about the research on this demon pattern "transforming into a dragon".
This is also where Mr. Tu's real attainments in formation.
But this is not enough.
Drawing a dragon also requires finishing touches.
Gathering all the demon patterns, and the dragon drawn can only be an evil dragon, and even in the final analysis, it can only be regarded as a "demon".
If you want to turn a demon into a real dragon, you need something to finish it.
And this thing is the dragon vein.
Use the pure blue dragon energy in the dragon vein to cleanse the demonic energy and evil power, melt all the demon patterns into one, and turn them into the real "blue dragon array pattern".
Mo Hua secretly took a breath of cold air.
This is a real big move and a big strategy.
As a formation master, how could Mo Hua not know that this kind of array experiment requires huge manpower, material and financial resources.
During this period, it took countless years, countless demon cultivators died, and countless demon patterns were tested before the four-image dragon picture was finally pieced together and engraved on Shen Tu Ao's body.
And now, the blue dragon energy is being poured on the top, which is the last stroke of "painting the finishing touch".
All of this, only Mo Hua can see.
Everyone present didn't know.
They are not formation masters, most of them have never been to the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, have not studied the four-image demon pattern in depth, and don't know Mr. Tu.
Therefore, they only saw the dragon vein.
But he couldn't see that the dragon vein involved a whole set of long, complex and grand four-elephant divine beast formations from beginning to end.
Mo Hua wanted to speak up and remind him, but he was now "demonized by the heart of Taoism" and was a puppet, unable to speak.
Of course, he didn't need to speak.
The several cultivators present were all experienced in cultivation. Although they didn't understand the formation, they soon realized that something was wrong.
Something on Shen Tu'ao's body was transforming step by step.
They didn't understand the principle, but they roughly knew what to do.
Shen Shouxing immediately said: "Cut off his dragon vein energy!"
Xun Ziyou and Elder Xiong Bin didn't dare to neglect it, and immediately took action to cut off the connection between Shen Tu'ao and the dragon vein.
Elder Xiong Bin fought closely and forced Shen Tu'ao back.
Xun Ziyou urged the sword to strangle the aura of the blue dragon.
Shen Shouxing's white jade sword shone brightly, slashing at the Azure Dragon array pattern around Shen Tuao.
Mo Hua was a little tangled.
He was afraid that Shen Tuao would absorb the power of Azure Dragon and kill Elder Xun Ziyou and others.
He was also afraid that Elder Xun Ziyou and others would use too much force and destroy the Azure Dragon array pattern on Shen Tuao, which had washed away the evil spirit and was gradually becoming complete.
But now, the situation is ever-changing, and it is unlikely that the situation will develop according to his intention.
After dozens of rounds, with the cooperation of Elder Xun and Xiongbi demon cultivator, Shen Shouxing swung his long sword, raising heavy sword energy, condensing into a sword curtain, completely cutting off the resonance between the Azure Dragon energy and Shen Tuao.
The array pattern on Shen Tuao's body also stopped the real "dragonization".
Several people also began a real life-and-death battle.
The battle between the fields became more and more tragic.
Shen Shouxing, Xun Ziyou, Elder Xiongbi and Shen Tuao were all injured, and as the fighting became more intense, their injuries worsened little by little.
Their spiritual power and blood were also depleted little by little.
In the end, the battle between masters often depends on perseverance and endurance.
Shen Tuao was fighting one against three. Even if he had strong perseverance and a strong body, he would be at a disadvantage in a long battle.
Any other late Jindan cultivator would not be able to hold on for so long.

Finally, after fighting for hundreds of rounds, Shen Tuao's blood began to run low again.
Shen Shouxing seized the opportunity and broke his dragon scales with a sword and pierced his heart, but Shen Tuao's body was like steel. The sword broke his scales but could not penetrate his chest.
Shen Tuao roared and wanted to resist.
At this moment, Elder Xiongbi's arm was like a wild python, strangling half of Shen Tuao's body.
Xun Ziyu took advantage of the opportunity and stabbed Shentu'ao's left shoulder with a sword.
Shentu Ao, who was seriously injured, was unable to struggle for a moment. He burst into anger and roared like a trapped animal.
As long as Shen Shouxing uses all his strength and adds another sword, he can penetrate his heart.
By that time, even if Shentu Ao did not die, he would still be seriously injured.
But at this moment, Shen Shouxing turned his sword and slashed at Xun Ziyou who was standing aside.
Along the way, Xun Ziyou had actually been wary of Shen Shouxing, but after being surrounded by Shen Tu Ao and experiencing successive hard battles, he was somewhat neglectful.
Therefore, this sword caught him somewhat off guard.
By the time Xun Ziyou reacted, Shen Shouxing's sword light had already gone straight to his heart.
This was a sword at the peak of the Golden Core, or a sudden cold arrow. Others did not expect it, and even if they did, they could not stop it at all.
But because he had been wary in his heart and his instinct was still there, at the critical moment, Xun Ziyou subconsciously turned sideways.
Shen Shouxing's long sword deflected a few inches and struck Xun Ziyou's shoulder, the sword energy strangling his flesh and blood.
Xun Ziyou could only leave Shen Tu Ao behind and retreat.
Elder Xiong Yan could not suppress Shentu Ao alone, so he had no choice but to retreat a few feet.
Shentu Ao broke free from the restraints and stood up slowly.
For a moment, the four of them formed their own formations, each with murderous intentions, and became wary of each other.
Xun Ziyou glanced at the sword wound on his shoulder, then looked at Shen Shouxing and said coldly:
"Elder Shen, what do you mean?"
Shen Shouxing looked indifferent and felt regretful.
Elder Xun was still too vigilant. He had only given him one chance along the way.
Despite this, he still dodged the sword.
Otherwise, if the long sword penetrates his heart and the sword energy is twisted again, he will almost be able to explain it here.
Shen Shouxing looked at Xun Ziyou silently. Now that things had happened, he no longer needed to be secretive, so he said calmly:
"For the sake of my Shen family, I am afraid that I will embarrass Elder Xun and stay here at the bottom of the Gushan tomb."
Xun Ziyou was not surprised, his eyes were like swords, "So, is all this really done by the Shen family?"
"It was your Shen family who caused the mining disaster, killed hundreds of thousands of mine workers, and then sealed the mine with tombs so that these suffering mine workers would never see the light of day again after their death?!"
Xun Ziyou's tone was filled with anger.
Everyone's expressions changed, and Mo Hua's heart trembled slightly.
Shen Shouxing's eyes were dim and he said nothing.
"Are you acquiescing by not speaking?" Xun Ziyou's eyes narrowed, followed by sarcasm, "Your Shen family is really brave. There are so many innocent monks in the whole mine... If you say kill, you will kill..."
Xun Ziyou looked at Shen Shouxing again, "You are responsible for Gushan, and you can serve as the powerful elder of the Shen family without being in the realm of enlightenment. You must have made great contributions. This contribution must be to trap and kill Have you repaired these mines?”
"The mining disaster back then was planned and executed by you, Shen Shouxing, Elder Shen, right?"
Xun Ziyou's tone was cold, but he suppressed his anger.
As soon as these words came out, the scene was dead silent.
Everyone present was silent.
Even if they didn't know before, after entering the tombs and mass graves and seeing so many corpses and piles of corpses, everyone had more or less already made assumptions in their minds.
It's just that no one pointed it out.
Pretending not to know can temporarily conceal the truth.
Once it is revealed and confirmed what the Shen family has done, it will almost immediately become a fight to the death.
The Shen family will definitely be silenced.
In the Gushan mining disaster, more than 100,000 casual cultivators died tragically.
Such shocking evil deeds are almost enough to shake the foundation of the Shen family.
Daoting will never let go of the Shen family.
The Shen family will also face criticism from all sides, and their face will be completely ruined.
From the current point of view, Shen Shouxing actually had no intention of letting everyone get out of the Lonely Mountain alive from the beginning.
Fan Jin's scalp was numb and his heart was bitter.
His worst premonition came true. This calamity has not been avoided after all.
Master Gu on the side felt cold in his heart, and at the same time, he was extremely angry.
He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He almost gritted his teeth and said word by word:
"The hundreds of thousands of casual cultivators in Gushan were all killed in this trap and died in this dark mine..."
"Shen Shouxing, can you really live with your conscience? Are you really not afraid of...retribution?"
Shen Shouxing looked indifferent, but his forehead was beating constantly, and he was struggling inside, as if he didn't want to recall this nightmare from the past.
The scenes of so many mine repairmen being trapped and killed, and the confused, helpless, lonely and desperate faces, broke through the dusty memories and emerged in his mind.
These were his personal decisions, which were equivalent to the killings he had committed with his own hands.
There was a crack in Shen Shouxing's character.
But his face was still numb and cold, "I...have to do this."
Xun Ziyou sneered.
Shen Shouxing ignored the sarcasm and sighed softly:
"In a big family full of geniuses, it's really hard to climb up. If you don't live in it, you won't understand."
"Especially for children who come from a bad background, are of common blood, and are on the edge of family power, it is even more difficult to climb up."
"Every good thing belongs to others."
"You can only follow others, share some scraps that others don't want, and you have to be humble and grateful..."
There was a trace of anger and pain in Shen Shouxing's eyes.
"I have tasted this kind of life, so I don't want to live this kind of life, and I don't want my son or grandson to live this kind of life in the future."
"So, I'm going to climb up, climb up at all costs."
Xunzi remained silent, and then said calmly: "So, this Gushan Hundred Thousand Mine Cultivator has become a stepping stone for you to climb up?"
"I didn't want to kill them." Shen Shouxing said coldly, "I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, but they made a big fuss and even got out of hand. If this continues, a large number of rogue cultivators will develop into mobs and refugees. The Shen family cannot accommodate them, so there is only one way to go...bury them together with Gushan."
Master Gu's anger welled up, "You, the Shen family, occupied their mountains, took away their mines, and forced them into desperation, but you blame them for causing trouble?"
Shen Shouxing said: "They lost the mountains themselves, and they sold the mines themselves. The casual cultivators were short-sighted and lost the foundation of their lives for temporary gain. What does it have to do with my Shen family?"
"You..." Master Gu was filled with anger and pointed at Shen Shouxing with trembling fingers, unable to say a word.
Xun Ziyou said coldly: "No matter what the reason is, you can't go crazy and kill so many casual cultivators..."
Shen Shouxing was indifferent for a moment and sighed softly: "They... are useless..."
"Dig the mine. Our Shen family has large spiritual weapons, so we don't need their help."
"They are already poor, and you can't earn spiritual stones from them."
"The only thing of value was the lonely mountain where they had grown up for generations, but they sold it all out of selfish gain."
"Think about it for yourself, what else can they be used for?"
"In addition, these hungry and poor casual cultivators will also make trouble. In this way, I can't keep them."
"Keeping them is not good for my Shen family, Daotingsi, Gushan, or even the stability of the entire Qianxue State."
"If monks want to make progress, aristocratic families want to develop, and the cultivation world wants to prosper, it is natural to step on the bones of these low-level people."
"This has been the case since ancient times."
"It's just that some people can see it and some people can't."
"Those who can see are helpless; those who cannot see or do not want to see are indifferent..."
