The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 826: Chapter 826: The True Treasure of the Kunlun Sect! Chapter 826: Chapter 826: The True Treasure of the Kunlun Sect! At that moment, Huang Xiaolong released his external avatar, the corpse dragon, directly.

The corpse dragon, flapping a pair of huge flesh wings, was riddled with holes and much of its body rotting and moldy, yet it still radiated an intimidating dragon might. Within its hollow eye sockets, two clusters of green flames flickered.

Its aura was so brutally evil that it reached its peak!

Dragons could be large or small. At this moment, with a thought from Huang Xiaolong, the corpse dragon’s body shrank considerably, yet its might remained undiminished, confronting He Tianchong, who was half zombie and half human!

“It’s that… that terrifying corpse dragon! So Little Long had taken the corpse dragon for his own use!” Ma Chuxia and the other wives screamed in horror.

All the martial artists within the great cavern knelt down, burying their heads deeply and trembling as if sieving chaff.

Indeed, in front of the corpse dragon, these martial artists were less than ants, naturally oppressed to suffocation, barely able to breathe, filling their innermost beings with fear and despair.

Facing the corpse dragon, He Tianchong subconsciously stepped back several paces, his eyes finally betraying a look of horror.

Huang Xiaolong stood leisurely below, grinning. “Aren’t you supposed to be very powerful? Let’s see whether you are more formidable or my corpse dragon is.”

Last time, Huang Xiaolong was able to subdue the corpse dragon relatively easily not because he had overwhelmed it with brute force, but because he had used a supreme Taoist technique, Void Binding Dragon, to capture it.

He Tianchong certainly didn’t know any Taoist techniques, so if he wanted to compete with the corpse dragon using brute force alone, it was probable he wasn’t enough!

“Roar~~~”
The corpse dragon let out a dragon’s roar, the sound waves vibrating, wild winds blowing, and the cavern shook violently, as if it could no longer contain it!

Ultimately, He Tianchong was not really human, so the fear in his heart was fleeting. He was incredibly brave; his hands were swordless, yet his body erupted with an overwhelming and sharp Sword Qi!

The dense Sword Qi sliced towards the corpse dragon!

The sound of a sword’s cry echoed through the air.

A sword’s cries dominate the world, its light chills through the provinces!

“Roar~~~!”

The body of the corpse dragon abruptly swayed, bursting forth with savage might. The air around it exploded repeatedly, annihilating the Sword Light and Sword Qi that He Tianchong had released.

The corpse dragon was an external avatar of Huang Xiaolong; he controlled it as easily as moving his arm, entirely at will, with perfect mastery. The aftershocks of its fight with He Tianchong didn’t leak out at all, avoiding collateral damage.

Just then, with a flick of its tail, the corpse dragon’s tail, like a giant pillar holding up the sky, struck He Tianchong’s body with a thunderous blow.

Although He Tianchong wore a golden-threaded jade robe, which was invincible in defense, the heavy blow’s intense repercussive force was like thunder, transmitting into He Tianchong’s inner body.

This blow was as if a bomb had detonated inside of He Tianchong’s body!

“Awooo~~~~!”

He Tianchong let out a terrible howl to the heavens, stumbling backward. The body exposed outside of the golden-threaded jade robe now bore startling cracks. Both of its eyes shattered, and black zombie blood spurted wildly.

If it hadn’t been for the protection of the golden-threaded jade robe, it would probably have been smashed into meat paste by now. But even now, it wasn’t much better off, almost completely falling apart, barely hanging on, its lamp nearly out of oil.

Strike while the enemy is sick, that’s your cue to kill!

In the blink of an eye, the corpse dragon used its skeleton-covered dragon head to ram violently into He Tianchong’s chest!

Bang~~~!!!!

Finally, He Tianchong’s entire body exploded!

Huang Xiaolong grinned and reached out to grab the golden-threaded jade robe and the jade flute, effortlessly cleaning them with a Water Purification Talisman.

“Hahaha~~ This golden-threaded jade robe is nice, and the Blazing Sword is a supreme treasure…” Huang Xiaolong threw these treasures into his Netherworld Drum, then raised his left hand, and the corpse dragon turned into a beam of light, merging into Huang Xiaolong’s arm, becoming a fierce tattoo once more.

The battle was over.

All sorts of pressures and the feeling of suffocation within the great cavern dissipated instantly.

The members of the ancient martial families who had been lying on the ground climbed up, looking around in terror.

“Grandmaster, now that you have collected the golden-threaded jade robe and the Blazing Sword, then… where is the ultimate treasure of the Kunlun Sect you mentioned?” Ji Zhengyu asked curiously, pausing for a moment, taking a deep breath. “Grandmaster, just as you said, that aura I deeply fear is still there!”

“Heh~~ No rush…” Huang Xiaolong walked leisurely towards the “Suo Luo Divine Tree,” his eyes squinting slightly. “This tree is also a treasure that snatches the essence of heaven and earth.”

Now, the members of the ancient martial families were already thoroughly submissive to Huang Xiaolong from the depths of their hearts!

This person was not only a peerless martial artist but also possessed various supernatural abilities that could pierce the heavens and the earth. Riding dragons into battle, he was like a celestial being descending to earth, omnipotent, truly one of the immortal legends of the land!

These martial artists were all acutely aware that if Huang Xiaolong wanted to kill them, it would undoubtedly be easier than crushing an ant!

His wives followed Huang Xiaolong to the “Fernlike Divine Tree.”

“This tree can bring the dead back to life and turn bones into flesh, transforming spirits into living beings,” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shone.

After pondering for more than a dozen breaths, Huang Xiaolong took out a stack of yellow paper from his canvas bag and began to draw symbols with a cinnabar pen.

After drawing dozens of symbols, Huang Xiaolong threw the talismans towards the “Fernlike Divine Tree.”

The talismans formed a strange pattern on the trunk of the tree, appearing to be a formation, and were faintly emitting a hazy light.

“It’s ready.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly and opened the container of souls, saying cheerfully, “Mengyao, come out.”

“My lord~~~”
As a cold wind arose, Mengyao, clad in purple, with elegant grace, knelt before Huang Xiaolong.

Dressed in purple, Gui Mengyao possessed a charm that could topple states and cities, dazzling those in the cave and making them feel as though a refreshing breeze had washed over them.

However, Mengyao suddenly looked at Ji Zhengyu with a horrified expression and began to shiver with fear. “My lord… that… what is that…?”

“Don’t be afraid.” Huang Xiaolong smiled, patting Mengyao’s fragrant shoulder, “I promised to reshape your physical body and turn you into a living person. This time we’re in luck, actually finding an ‘Fernlike Divine Tree’ from the Ancient Times… Alright, I’ve already set up a formation that can extract the essence of the Fernlike Divine Tree to rebuild your body of flesh and blood, so go ahead.”

“Thank you, my lord! Mengyao… Mengyao~~~” Overwhelmed with emotion, Mengyao’s voice choked up, and she actually shed tears.

The tears of a ghost are exceedingly precious, especially the tears of a female ghost, since ghosts seldom truly shed tears. Tears of a female ghost can extend life. Whether it’s the life of a human or a ghost, both can be prolonged. For example, a person on the brink of death, or a ghost about to disperse, just one drop of a female ghost’s tears can extend their life for at least one day!

Who knows, with this extra day’s grace, one might defy fate and ultimately survive.

“Hehehe, don’t cry, don’t cry…” Huang Xiaolong smiled, wiping away a few drops of tears from Mengyao’s delicate ghostly face, as precious as gemstones.

“Little wife, this is for you,” Huang Xiaolong said casually as he tossed the ghostly tears to Ma Chuxia.

Immediately afterward, following Huang Xiaolong’s instructions, Mengyao’s spirit body pressed tightly against the trunk of the tree, amidst the formation created with the talismans by Huang Xiaolong.

Suddenly, a warmth like that of a hot spring enveloped Mengyao, continuously steaming around her.

Mengyao seemed to be immersed in a dreamlike scenario.

“Alright, Mengyao, you stay here and enjoy the sensation of transforming from a spirit to a living being,” Huang Xiaolong’s gaze shifted toward the far end of the large cave.

There was a rugged cliff wall.

Thump, thump, thump~~ Thump, thump, thump~~~
A powerful and sinister life force was faintly seeping through from behind the cliff, accompanied by a sound resembling the beating of a heart.

“Punch through the cliff wall,” said Huang Xiaolong with a smile.

Immediately, several ancient martial arts grandmasters, eager to brown-nose, swung their palms and unleashed their massive True Qi from afar, shattering the cliff wall into dust.

A massive gap appeared.

Sure enough, behind the cliff wall, a rather sizable stone chamber appeared.

Instantly, an overwhelming and terrifying aura rushed out from the stone chamber!

This aura was so crushing that even the air seemed oppressed, creating a feeling that a supremely mighty prehistoric beast was lying dormant within, ready to awaken at any moment and devour everything!

“I want to see, just what it could be.” At that moment, Huang Xiaolong had his suspicions, but he couldn’t be sure until he saw it with his own eyes.

Without hesitation, Huang Xiaolong stepped towards the interior of the stone chamber.

Finally!

Huang Xiaolong saw it!

In the center of the stone chamber, there was a stone platform, and atop the platform, rested—a gigantic egg!

Indeed!

It was an egg!

The egg, with a diameter of over three meters, had its shell shimmering with countless flowing lights, flashing gold, then white, then crimson red.

Boom boom~~boom boom~~boom boom~~~
From within the eggshell, a powerful, evil, and terrifying life force emanated.

It seemed to be nurturing some kind of wild and ferocious beast.

“My… my heavens… what… what kind of egg is this…” Ji Zhengyu’s face turned pale, his body shaking like a sieve. “What exactly… exactly is being nurtured inside this egg… what… what terrifying thing…”

“Little Long, we can’t handle it, we can’t bear the pressure emitted by this egg… This kind of pressure… can even compete with the dragon might of that corpse dragon of yours~~~” Ma Chuxia said with a pained expression.

The breathing of the others also became rapid, their faces as pale as paper.

Huang Xiaolong threw out a large handful of talismans and affixed them to the shell of the egg, concealing all the wild pressure it emitted.

With that, the people who entered the stone chamber finally heaved a long sigh of relief, their complexions regaining some color.

“Little Long, could it be that this is the strongest inheritance of the Kunlun Sect… Just an egg?” Ma Chuxia was full of doubt. “Little Long, with your wide knowledge and experience, you must know what kind of life is being nurtured inside this egg, right?”

Huang Xiaolong stared intently at the huge egg for a good ten seconds or so before he finally managed a dry smile and shook his head. “This time, I’m truly stumped. Events that happen in Huaxia, or some species from Ancient Times, I’m usually well-informed about them, but as for this egg, I’m at a loss. Which means, I can’t tell you what life form is being bred inside, I really don’t know.”

After a pause, Huang Xiaolong added, “However, there’s one thing I can be sure of, that whatever life is inside the egg, it’s not a dragon. It should be a life form on par with dragons. To be precise, it’s a kind of Ancient—”
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Divine Beast!”

Hisss~~~!

From all around, the sound of sharp intakes of breath rose and fell in waves.

A Divine Beast!

My goodness, that’s a legendary being!

A Divine Beast that could even slaughter gods!

Who would have thought that deep within the Kunlun Mountains, a Divine Beast egg was suppressed!

“Indeed, this egg is the most important treasure of the Kunlun Sect; its value surpasses many martial arts secrets, as well as that Fiery Sword and the Gold Threaded Jade Clothing…” Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly. “Take a closer look at the shell, it’s inscribed with numerous runes. These runes serve to continuously draw various energies from the void, eventually hatching it.”

“Ah! I see now! The forebears of the Kunlun Sect wanted to hatch the Divine Beast inside this egg… and then…” Ma Chuxia blinked a few times. “With an obedient Divine Beast, the Kunlun Sect would indeed become mighty. Unbeatable!”

At this moment, a mocking and scornful expression appeared on Huang Xiaolong’s face. “The people of the Kunlun Sect are truly naive to the extreme. I wonder if their brains were pinched by a door.”

Everyone’s gaze turned towards Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong disdainfully said, “It’s extremely difficult to hatch a Divine Beast from Ancient Times; it requires an enormous amount of energy. Even a well-known and deep-rooted sect like the Kunlun Sect would find hatching an egg of an Ancient Divine Beast a nigh-impossible task, likely ending in bankruptcy. Besides, Divine Beasts are not like humans; they have tens of thousands of years in their infancy period. Even if you manage to hatch it, can you wait that long? Not to mention, just feeding it would bankrupt any ancient martial sect.”

In conclusion, Huang Xiaolong said, “The Kunlun Sect is just daydreaming. Who knows if the decline of the Kunlun Sect is related to this egg of an Ancient Divine Beast.”

Hearing what Huang Xiaolong said, everyone sighed.

Sun Wei mumbled with pursed lips. “Little Long, we went through so much hardship, so many people died, just to find the most precious treasure of the Kunlun Sect, yet… yet it turns out to be something attractive but useless.”

“Ha ha ha ha~~~~” Huang Xiaolong suddenly laughed loudly. “The Kunlun Sect people can’t use this Ancient Divine Beast egg, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything with it…”

In the midst of speaking, a glint of light flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

“Young Master Huang, do you mean to say that you can… you can… hatch it?” Feng Hanyan was flabbergasted.

“I’m not female, how can I hatch it?” Huang Xiaolong said lazily. “Why don’t you give it a try?”

Feng Hanyan’s face turned red.

“As for me, I can’t do it right now, but I’ll figure out a way,” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes twinkled excitedly, “Perhaps, I really might be able to bring out the Divine Beast from inside the egg… I wonder what kind of Divine Beast it will be? Interesting…”

While speaking, Huang Xiaolong directly opened the Yin Soul Tube and collected the huge, unparalleled egg inside.

Because he had affixed the talismans to the eggshell, sealing away its terrifying pressure, it didn’t kill all the thousands of souls and specters inside the Yin Soul Tube.

After collecting the giant egg, Huang Xiaolong prepared to turn around and leave.

But…

“Hmm?” Huang Xiaolong’s footsteps paused slightly as his eyes narrowed.

“Little Long, what’s wrong?” Ma Chuxia asked from the side.

“Wait…” Huang Xiaolong walked straight towards the stone platform where the giant egg was placed and murmured, “Wrong… seems… I was mistaken…”

“Little Long, what have you mistaken?” his wives followed up.

“The egg of the ancient Divine Beast, it should not be the most important treasure of the Kunlun Sect either…” In Huang Xiaolong’s tone, a hint of certainty gradually emerged.

“Ah? The Divine Beast’s egg isn’t the most important treasure?” Everyone in the stone chamber was utterly shocked.

Huang Xiaolong walked to the edge of the stone platform and took a closer look, only to see a—knife!

To be precise, it was a dagger, or perhaps a throwing knife.

The hilt protruded outward while the blade was deeply embedded in the stone platform.

The hilt of the knife was jet black, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made from.

It was engraved with dense symbols, and the knife, as a whole, emitted a subtle aura.

This aura wasn’t as powerful as that of the Divine Beast egg, nor was it dangerous or rampant with evil intent.

But it was—mysterious!

Extremely mysterious!

Incredibly mysterious!

Much more mysterious than the ancient Divine Beast egg by countless times!

Huang Xiaolong’s intuition told him that this small knife must contain an earth-shattering secret!

A secret that would even make him, the Yin Emperor, inevitably moved!

“Master, there is a knife here…” Ji Zhengyu said, his face full of confusion. “It feels… this knife seems ordinary at first glance, but it emits a kind of mysterious aura.”

“You also feel its mystery?” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “This knife is suppressed under the ancient Divine Beast egg in order to use the egg’s pressure to protect it and prevent people from discovering the existence of this knife.”

“That is to say, the value of this knife is indeed higher than that of the Divine Beast egg.” Ma Chuxia suddenly realized.

Huang Xiaolong, without saying another word, took hold of the hilt.

He tugged with all his might.

At first, the small knife just shook a bit, but the blade wasn’t pulled out by Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong took a deep breath, exerted force again, and finally was able to pull out the small knife completely.

The blade was only a few inches long, indeed only enough to be considered a throwing knife, jet black in color and not sharp.

On the blade, the ancient seal character for “seven” was inscribed.

Besides, just like on the hilt, the blade was also filled with dense inscriptions.

“Little Long, is the name of this knife ‘Seven’?” Ma Chuxia also looked closely at the small knife in Huang Xiaolong’s hand.

After studying the inscriptions on the knife, Huang Xiaolong muttered, “No, this is the seventh one. There is more than one of these small knives.”

Everyone was greatly surprised.

“The inscriptions on the knife should be a Formation, but what is engraved on this seventh small knife is only a small part of the entire Formation. I think we need to collect several of the other knives for the entire Formation to be complete,” Huang Xiaolong suddenly felt an irresistible itch and a strong urge—he must find the other small knives!

“Formation?” Mengqi couldn’t help asking. “So, what would happen if we found all the small knives and actually assembled a Formation?”

“Heh~~ I think, it must be something extraordinary,” Huang Xiaolong smiled and then composed himself, placing the small knife into the Yin Soul Container as well. “Let’s leave it at that, we’ll study it slowly later. This trip can also be considered a full return.”

“Alright, we’ve already cleaned out all the treasures, let’s go!” Huang Xiaolong led the way out of the stone chamber, “I wonder if Mengyao has managed to turn back into a human.”

…
