#434 - Flood!

Chapter 431: Great Flood!

Xie Lingyun looked at the departing Prince of Pingbian, a hint of worry in her eyes: "Father, we're in big trouble!"

"Trouble is inevitable and won't change because of anything," Xie Xuan's voice was full of ease. "Besides, we have 50,000 elite troops and the dynasty's fortune on our side. Even if Zhang Shicheng truly transforms into a dragon and reaches the eleventh rank, we may still have the ability to fight him."

"What did Zhang Chen say?" The Prince of Pingbian looked at Xie Lingyun, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Xie Lingyun said, "He wants to meet you in person. He said that even if that old mud loach transforms into a dragon and reaches the twelfth rank, we still have a way to kill him."

"He really said that?" A glint flashed in Xie Xuan's eyes.

He still had a lot of faith in Zhang Chen's words, after all, Zhang Shicheng had only transformed into a dragon halfway and had already reached the tenth rank, but didn't he still fail?

"That's right," Xie Lingyun said.

"It seems that it's necessary for me to meet him in person." After saying that, Zhang Shicheng walked straight into the rain, and in a few flashes, his figure had disappeared into the rain curtain.

Meanwhile, inside the inn, after Xie Lingyun left, Zhang Chen repeatedly recalled Xie Lingyun's words in his mind: "The demon ancestor besieging the Grand Victory Dynasty's capital is wielding five-colored light?"

He thought of the Five-Colored Divine Light. The only thing in this world that could match the Five-Colored Light was probably the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Judging from the difficulty of dealing with that old peacock, it's not impossible for this old fellow to have lived from an unknown era to the present, right?

"But maybe I'm overthinking it. Not all supernatural powers that flash with five-colored light are necessarily the Five-Colored Divine Light," Zhang Chen kept encouraging himself.

If the congenital peacock survived from the Primordial Era, he would be done for. Although he could hook the congenital peacock's soul, the congenital peacock's soul was too powerful. Even if he hooked the other party's soul over, he couldn't do anything to it. The other party might even kill all his relatives and even threaten him with the people around him.

His damned Soul Hooking Technique only takes charge of hooking and not suppressing. This is not a small problem.

"I hope not! Definitely not!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

If it was, not only would he be in trouble, but the entire human race would be in trouble. The congenital peacock's Five-Colored Divine Light was so strong, who in the human race could stop the congenital peacock?

Even if there was a twelfth-rank mystic, could it stop the congenital peacock? Was there any comparison between a dead twelfth-rank and a living one of unknown rank?

"No matter what, that old fellow who doesn't know the details and can fight against two twelfth-rank mystics is a trouble for the human race," Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Just as various thoughts were constantly wandering in Zhang Chen's mind, in the long street outside the inn, there was an additional figure wearing a brocade robe. All the rain that approached within three feet of the brocade-robed man was blocked by an invisible force and slid away from the brocade-robed man's body.

Then, the brocade-robed man walked through the rain curtain and came to the inn, standing outside Zhang Chen's door and gently knocking on the door.

Along with the sound of knocking, Zhang Chen's heart in the room was startled. With his current mastery of the Blood Control Technique, he hadn't noticed any abnormality in advance when someone came to the door. Wasn't this terrifying?

"Expert! This person must be an expert!" Zhang Chen thought to himself.

Then, Zhang Chen stood up and opened the door, saw the familiar face outside the door, and felt that his guess was correct. If Xie Xuan didn't count as an expert, then who would count as an expert?

"So it's Commander Xie, please come in and talk," Zhang Chen looked at Xie Xuan with a smile.

Xie Xuan looked Zhang Chen up and down and found that Zhang Chen had grown taller again. His skin was delicate and snow-white, and his temperament had a transcendent air. He didn't look like an ordinary person, but like a young master from a wealthy family.

The two sat down in the room, and Xie Xuan looked at Zhang Chen: "Does Your Excellency have a way to deal with that old mud loach?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chen took out the Blood Transformation Divine Blade from his sleeve and placed it on the table: "This blade can pierce the old mud loach's reverse scale!"

The Blood Transformation Divine Blade was as thin as a cicada's wing and looked like a work of art, not at all like a great weapon.

"After that old mud loach transforms into a dragon and walks the flood, I will extract the old mud loach's soul. At that time, you will use this blade to stab into its body, and then take the opportunity to destroy its body," Zhang Chen stroked the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, a hint of killing intent in his eyes: "But you still need to be careful, don't be injured by the Blood Transformation Divine Blade. Once you are injured by the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, you will bleed non-stop until you are completely drained and die."

Hearing Zhang Chen's instructions, Xie Xuan was immediately interested. He looked at the Blood Transformation Divine Blade and reached out to stroke the hilt of the Blood Transformation Divine Blade. After looking at it for a few times, he drew out the long knife from his waist and threw it away. Then, he put the Blood Transformation Divine Blade into the scabbard and carefully hid the Blood Transformation Divine Blade in his wide sleeve before solemnly saying: "Is your plan that simple?"

"Does it need to be more complicated?" Zhang Chen smiled lightly: "It's just that there is one more thing. After you kill the old mud loach's body, you need to immediately come and help me kill the old mud loach's soul. Otherwise, with myself alone, I'm afraid I can't do anything to the old mud loach's soul. If its soul escapes, it will be a big trouble."

Xie Xuan nodded upon hearing this: "Don't worry, after I kill the old mud loach..." Speaking of this, Xie Xuan paused: "At least I have to snatch its dragon pearl and extract its dragon tendons. Then I will come and help you. The benefits of killing the old mud loach can't be snatched away by those guys hiding in the dark, right?"

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this. What the other party said made some sense: "Remember to dig out the dragon horns for me. If I can forge a weapon in the future, it won't be bad."

The matter was considered to be discussed here, Xie Xuan looked straight at Zhang Chen: "To be honest, I have investigated your background and still can't believe that you have such abilities. I always feel that you have been possessed by some old monster. How could the Zhang family have such a powerful bloodline? Your Soul Hooking Technique has long exceeded the scope of the Zhang family's bloodline mastery."

Zhang Chen smiled lightly upon hearing this. He knew what Xie Xuan meant. Xie Xuan regarded the skills he obtained from the Golden Finger as the power of the Shangjing Zhang family's bloodline, but this also gave Zhang Chen a chance to cover up: "This belongs to bloodline mutation, and there was another opportunity before."

"The Zhang family drove your father's lineage out. This is really the Zhang family's greatest loss," Xie Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. Before Zhang Chen could ask any more questions, Xie Xuan's figure had faded, and only his voice fluctuated back and forth in the inn: "Zhang Chen, I'm waiting for your good news. As long as you can hook out Zhang Shicheng's soul, I will personally stab the Blood Transformation Divine Blade into the other party's reverse scale."

Looking at the air where Xie Xuan disappeared, Zhang Chen sat at the table drinking tea, his eyes narrowed: "Dragon Pearl, that's a good thing!"

At this time, the door was pushed open again, and Chen Xu walked in from outside the room, his voice very excited: "Was that Yang God Great Master just now?"

"That's right! It's the Yang God Great Master! And the other party is also the leader of the Northern Inspection Division," Zhang Chen said with a smile.

Chen Xu's heart looked at Zhang Chen even more highly upon hearing this: "I see you are calm now, could it be that you have a way to break the tribulation?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that old mud loach is dead," Zhang Chen said.

Chen Xu touched his chin and repeated to confirm: "Are you sure that old fellow is dead?"

"Definitely dead! Unless someone takes action to save him!" Zhang Chen said.

"If you say that..." Chen Xu's eyes lit up immediately: "If I take the opportunity to swallow the old mud loach's true body, to what extent will my strength soar?"

"Don't be killed by the various powerhouses at that time! If Zhang Shicheng dies and his Dao disappears, there will be countless people staring at his body. If someone kills you in passing, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance," Zhang Chen felt that Chen Xu's idea was not very reliable.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Chen Xu was still full of enthusiasm: "I can set up a layout in advance, and I can also use the feng shui formation set up by the Prince of Pingbian's mansion."

After Chen Xu finished speaking, he couldn't sit still, picked up the oil-paper umbrella and walked out of the room, only his voice came: "Wait for my good news."

Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu's departing back and couldn't help but shake his head gently, his eyes full of helplessness: "This guy is really not afraid of death, but he must have other trump cards!"

After all the arrangements were made, Zhang Chen had no more doubts about the future. He slowly drank his wine, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and felt very comfortable.

In the Inspection Division, Xie Xuan returned home, drew out the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, looked at the blade as thin as a cicada's wing in his hand, and a dignified look appeared in his eyes: "What an evil blade! What an evil person!"

After staring at the Blood Transformation Divine Blade for a long time, Xie Xuan put the treasure blade into the scabbard, and then thought of the Shangjing Zhang family, a strange complexity appeared in his eyes: "The elders of the Zhang family really misjudged this time, the Zhang family has now produced a true dragon."

"If he can be pulled into the Inspection Division and become a member of my Inspection Division, that would be great," Xie Xuan had the idea of pulling Zhang Chen into the Inspection Division again. If this matter was accomplished, he would have a lot more confidence when facing those old guys in the future.

"Or... or should I marry Lingyun to him? At that time, we will be even closer and become a family?" Some thoughts kept popping up in Xie Xuan's mind. He really admired Zhang Chen, and even sold his own daughter.

Time passed quickly, and three days passed in a flash. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the streets had already begun to accumulate water over the knees. The shops on both sides of the long street began to accumulate water, and the common people's homes also began to suffer from floods. Some people's thatched huts were soaked and collapsed, and some people's courtyard walls collapsed. Even more, mudslides rolled down from the mountains and swept through the villages in the mountains, causing bloodshed.
