Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 304: Chapter 303: Blood Draw_1

”Stop chasing.”

Just as Qing Luo was about to continue her pursuit, Ling Chen raised his hand. ”Our goal is the Yin Dragon’s Lifeblood. We need to set aside everything else for now.”

”Are you afraid I’ll kill her?”

Qing Luo knew exactly what Ling Chen was thinking. With her power, if she were to chase after Liu Xiling now, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to kill Liu Xiling.

”I will deal with her myself in the future.”

Ling Chen shook his head. The feud between him and Liu Xiling wasn’t something to be resolved at this moment. When he possessed sufficient strength, he would personally settle it.

”Alright, as you wish.”

Qing Luo shrugged nonchalantly. She held no grudges against Liu Xiling, and killing her would mean offending the Saint Witch Religion. Since Ling Chen had said so, she naturally wouldn’t bother causing unnecessary trouble for herself.

”Now it’s time to get down to business.”

Ling Chen glanced at the pool beside him. ”The Yin Dragon sank and hasn’t resurfaced. Its lair must be down below.”

”Exactly.”

Qing Luo landed on the water’s surface. ”The lair of this Yin Dragon should be down there; we have to dive.”

”We don’t know how deep this pool is. How do we go down?”

Even if he conserved his True Qi, Ling Chen was only confident of holding his breath underwater for around fifteen minutes. But if the pool was immeasurably deep and they couldn’t resurface after descending, they would be in trouble.

”That’s easy.”

With a flip of her palm, Qing Luo produced a dark purple leaf and handed it to Ling Chen. ”Crush this leaf and swallow it, and you’ll be able to stay underwater for a long time.”

”Amazing.”

Ling Chen accepted the leaf, gave it a cursory look, then popped it into his mouth and began to chew.

”Let’s go!”

After Ling Chen swallowed the dark purple leaf, Qing Luo leaped lightly into the water. The moment she hit the water, her legs transformed into a green serpent tail, which swayed and propelled her deep into the depths.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Ling Chen also jumped into the pool without further delay, following her.

Just as Ling Chen had predicted, the Cold Pool was indeed bottomless. Even after fifteen minutes, Qing Luo and Ling Chen still hadn’t reached the bottom. Considering their descent, they must have been a kilometer deep by now.

It was much deeper and darker than they had imagined, without a single speck of light.

Ling Chen’s sensing range was less than ten meters. He could only stick close to Qing Luo to ensure he didn’t lose his way in the Darkness.

”We’ve finally reached the bottom.”

After nearly half an hour in the Darkness, a giant cave appeared several meters to their front left.

Once they entered the cave, Qing Luo and Ling Chen finally landed safely, emerging from the water.

”Senior Qing Luo, the Yin Dragon might be here. Do you have a detailed plan?” Upon arriving at the Yin Dragon’s lair, Ling Chen couldn’t help but ask.

”It would have been a little difficult originally, but now that it’s injured, we have a chance.” Qing Luo nodded and smiled. ”I’m quite surprised your mother could inflict such a severe wound on it. This increases our chances of success.”

”How sure are you?” Ling Chen asked cautiously.

”Around fifty to sixty percent.”

”Why so low?” Ling Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Hearing this, Qing Luo’s pretty face darkened. ”Kid, aren’t you underestimating the situation? After all, the Yin Dragon is a Level 4 Exotic Beast with Dragon Blood flowing through its veins. Extracting its Essence Blood requires careful maneuvering and clever tactics. If you were to completely enrage it, you could forget about getting its Essence Blood in this lifetime.”

”Alright, so when do we make our move?” Ling Chen asked helplessly from behind a Rock.

Getting the Yin Dragon’s Essence Blood was clearly going to be a very troublesome task.

”Of course, we wait,” Qing Luo said with a very solemn expression. ”The Yin Dragon is highly alert. However, this one is already injured. It will gradually enter a healing state, during which its vigilance will be at its lowest. Only then can we approach it undetected.”

Hearing this, Ling Chen nodded silently, sat down cross-legged, and began to wait patiently.

The wait was rather long. It stretched from dawn until night enveloped the entire valley before Ling Chen finally perceived that the ferocious aura emanating from deep within the cave had subsided slightly.

However, as this ferocious aura weakened, an extraordinarily savage pressure was released from the Yin Dragon. This was its instinctive self-defense mechanism. As this Bloodline pressure spread, neither humans nor Exotic Beasts dared to step forward lightly, understanding that if they were to disturb the Yin Dragon at this time, they would surely face its lethal retaliation.

However, upon sensing this Bloodline pressure, Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief. With Qing Luo present, he wasn’t worried about being discovered by the Yin Dragon. Turning his head to look at Qing Luo, he saw her beckon to him, signaling that it was time to move.

”Let’s go in.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen found his smile a bit stiff. But he had been waiting for this moment for a long time and naturally wouldn’t fail at this critical juncture. Thus, he quietly activated his Wind Shadow Step and advanced into the depths of the cave at an incredibly slow pace, being extremely careful.

In a short while, Ling Chen approached the spot where the Yin Dragon lay. He could already smell the strong, bloody odor emanating from its body.

THUMP! THUMP!

In the dark cave, Ling Chen could hear his heart beating rapidly. If the Yin Dragon were to suddenly awaken now, his plan would be completely ruined.

”Senior Qing Luo, it’s up to you.”

Ling Chen’s steps halted when he was still about forty meters away from the Yin Dragon. He didn’t dare to go any closer and gave Qing Luo a forced smile.

Merely the Dragon’s Majesty emanating from the Level 4 Exotic Beast put immense pressure on him. If he were to get any closer, he would likely be exposed.

Qing Luo was clearly contemptuous of Ling Chen’s actions. Honestly, at the critical moment, she still had to be the one to take action.

Without wasting words, Qing Luo flicked her palm, and a Hidden Weapon resembling an iron claw shot out from her sleeve, embedding itself firmly into the Rock wall above the cave.

Qing Luo then used the Hidden Weapon to propel herself forward, stopping directly above the Yin Dragon.

”Be careful.”

Seeing Qing Luo position herself above the Yin Dragon, Ling Chen couldn’t help but feel worried and mouthed a warning.

Regarding Ling Chen’s warning, Qing Luo simply smiled. Then, her gaze became serious as she looked at the Yin Dragon, which had fallen into a deep healing trance and wouldn’t wake up for some time.

Qing Luo looked at the ghastly wound on its body, then took out a Jade Bottle. Her jade-like hand made a slight gesture, and a strand of True Qi, like a silk thread, floated out, hovering near the Yin Dragon’s wound. As it slowly rotated, it quietly extracted fine streams of blood, which contained a ferocious aura, from the pulsating flesh.

She actually has this kind of technique! It’s almost in hand!

From not too far away, Ling Chen’s heart filled with ecstatic surprise upon watching this scene, his heart pounding faster and faster.
