Killer Mark, Southern Dragon King!
🕑 Added 2023-11-08 18:29:34 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 184 ---
After flying a few miles away, Baek Ain and his companions stopped at a mountain peak.
[Host, you're so unlucky...] Alicia called Baek Ain.
[The native from the upper realm somehow descended upon this world by chance]
Baek Ain's mouth twitched, 'Why do you mean by somehow, Alicia?'
'I felt like the Goddess planned this from the beginning.'
[Well, Goddess of Opportunity won't be so bored to do something like this, I believe] Alicia responded with an uncertain tone.
'Heh, I bet she does.' Baek Ain rolled his eyes.
When Baek Ain traversed in the area a while back, he sensed a shift in space and time. At first, he thought it was a Magical Beast with powerful spatial and temporal abilities, but no.
A female cultivator from the upper realm descended to this fucking world.
Baek Ain stared at the distance and glanced at the system map again, seeing a black dot moving in the blue map.
The black dot is none other than the female cultivator.
Although she doesn't possess Dou Qi energy like everyone in the Battle Through the Heavens, Baek Ain bet she was around Dou Saint Realm or above.
The purity of her energy is absurd.
The female cultivator is almost at Baek Ain's level in purity. The other party also sensed the surface of Baek Ain's cultivation only, so she didn't know that the man from the lower plane she saw was so powerful.
Baek Ain's purity is level 10 due to practicing the Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique, Golden Crow's Record of the Burning World. Then, the female cultivator's purity is around level 8.5!
[Ding! You have triggered a quest]
"Oh, come on..." Baek Ain stared at the system panel blankly and cursed between his breaths. He doesn't like where this is going.
[I'm sorry, Host. I can't do anything about this function of mine]
"Whatever, let's see what this is all about." Baek Ain sighed and checked the quest.
But after reading the quest for a bit, he frowned.
[Quest: Mysterious Female Cultivator?]
[Objective: Find the identity and background of the Mysterious Female Cultivator(0/1)]
[Time Limit: A week]
[Failure's Penalty: Unwanted Future, Cultivation Base's Abolishment]
[Reward: Dungeon Key(Random), World Travelling Ticket's Piece]
[Do you want to accept the quest?]
[Yes/No]
Baek Ain considered the pros and cons because this was a chance for him to enter a better stage. After finishing the main quests, Baek Ain plans to enter the Great Thousand Realm due to Fan Gu's inheritance.
Still, before that, he must meet the Goddess of Opportunity for an important talk.
'She must be watching.' Baek Ain thought to himself. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and accepted the quest.
He hopes this quest led him to something.
At least the rewards are excellent.
Wait, that female cultivator won't steal the Bodhisattva Seed and Heart, right? Baek Ain's expression darkened.
After all, the two treasures are still rare in the upper realm.
"A group of people is coming to our side." Baek Ain suddenly said as he sensed some presence from the north.
Qing Lin and his disciples entered an alert mode, swaying their heads around to find the enemies.
"Magical Beasts... Dragons." Qing Lin commented with a strange expression.
Yao Ling'er, Huo Zhi, and Gu Xun'er glanced at each other.
Dragons?
Baek Ain waited and saw a bald man flashing to their location with a murderous gaze.
The bald man wore a blue tunic vest, and the most 'eye-catching' feature was definitely a pair of dragon horns on his forehead with a blue gem in between.
Oh, also his cultivation base, which is 3-Star Dou Saint.
"You! You're the one who killed my child!" The bald man roared at Baek Ain.
"I've been searching for months..."
Baek Ain pointed at himself and questioned back, "Me? There seems to be a misunderstanding. I believe we have never met before."
"Grrr, don't act innocent, you bastard!" The bald man grumbled. "I could sense the killer mark on your body!"
'Killer mark?' Baek Ain tilted his head.
He snapped his finger, "Ah, now I remember some faint memories."
"What was his name again?"
"Ah, is it Long Aojian or something?"
(AN: Chapter 113, when Baek Ain protected a secret realm)
"It's LONG AOTIAN! HOW DARE YOU SLANDER MY SON, EVEN AFTER HIS DEATH!" The bald man screamed at the top of his lungs.
Baek Ain smiled, "To be fair, he wasn't that memorable. You're lucky that I have a strong memory."
"By the way, who are you?"
The other people behind the bald man were also agitated by Baek Ain's way of speaking.
He was so casual when facing someone like their lord!
"I'm the Southern Dragon King! And I'm here to take your life!" Said the bald man as he rushed toward Baek Ain.
Baek Ain sat calmly on the stone and brought out Roc's Spine, waving it casually.
[Parry]
Clank!
The spear and claws of a dragon made contact.
Sparks flew everywhere.
"Hmm, not bad for a 3-Star Dou Saint. Your attack packs a punch." Baek Ain commented while holding his finger leisurely.
Still, your spiritual power is so weak.
Even an 8th Grade Alchemist is better than you.
ROAR!
"Then, I'll show you the power of Southern Dragon King!" The bald man released intense pressure. His upper body is 'thoroughly' covered with dark blue scales, and his arms become much more muscular.
The space trembled upon this transformation.
Huo Zhi bit her lips and mumbled, "This bloodline power... Teacher, this man is the Southern Dragon King of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe!"
"He's one of the Four Dragon Kings."
"Dragon King, Ancient Void Dragon Tribe..." Baek Ain ransacked his mind and found information about it. Now that he thought about it, doesn't the Jia Nan Academy have a girl from the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe living in it?
But Baek Ain didn't find her the last time he visited the Jia Nan Academy as the new leader of the Black Corner Region.
To think the random young master he killed was part of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe. That guy's bloodline purity is so low that Baek Ain barely senses anything.
What a coincidence.
Baek Ain chuckled and pushed the spear shaft forward, "I killed your son, but he provoked me first. What are you going to do about it?"
"I will kill you..." The Southern Dragon King hatefully responded.
"That would only happen if you had the ability." Baek Ain returned nonchalantly.
BOOM!
The Southern Dragon King's eyes widened as the spear in Baek Ain's hand flew to his stomach with sudden momentum.
BAM!
Baek Ain used [Flight] from Roc's Spine and drove the Southern Dragon King away from this area. A fight between two Dou Saints is too dangerous for his disciple.
As for the other Ancient Void Dragon Tribe Member? Qing Lin would handle them because her pupils could control dragons now.
Baek Ain pushed the Southern Dragon King across the floating island and caught everyone's attention as he drew a silver line in the sky. An image of a Roc shocked everyone.
BOOM!
"WHAT WAS THAT?!"
"Someone is fighting??"
"Let's go! A fight between two experts is rare."
"This energy fluctuation is... Dou Saint? Dou Saints are fighting each other, Damn!"
Baek Ain kicked the Southern Dragon King in the face and sent him flying to the edge of the floating island.
Pui!
Southern Dragon King spewed red saliva and gazed at Baek Ain solemnly, "You're also a Dou Saint..."
Baek Ain shrugged, "Surprised?"
"No, no wonder you're afraid of my identity." Southern Dragon King grimaced. "Still, it won't change anything."
"It just makes it a little harder for me to avenge my son."
Baek Ain held the heavy spear with one hand and pointed it at the Southern Dragon King. "You talk big as if you won already."
"Truthfully, I could finish this fight in three moves."
"No, that's too much."
"One move is enough..."
