Chapter 131 Storms and Winds Rise
After the Ise Shrine sank into the belly of the mountain, some buildings and most of the walls remained on the Omikami Mountain, and the sky was filled with thick clouds and fog, like an abyss or an ocean.
Suddenly, the fog rolled up, and a huge shadow could be vaguely seen swimming in it, as if some huge monster wanted to fly out of the fog.
After a while, the shadow in the fog became more and more real and larger, dancing and tumbling, shuttling through the sea of clouds. Wherever Suzuka Gozen passed, the clouds rolled and thunder and lightning were terrifying.
If Suzuka Gozen was not mistaken, it should be the legendary... dragon?
Dragons can be big or small, can rise or hide; when they are big, they can raise clouds and spit out fog, and when they are small, they can hide their shapes; when they rise, they fly in the universe, and when they hide, they lurk in the waves.
However, after nearly a hundred years of large-scale dragon slaying by the Taoist sect, the few remaining dragons have gone far away to the deep sea and are rarely seen.
Just when Suzuka Gozen was shocked, the sea of clouds suddenly collapsed, exploding countless clouds, and then a huge head slowly emerged, with two golden eyes as big as a wellhead, two strands of dragon whiskers swaying slightly, without making a dragon roar, and rolling water vapor in its mouth.
It was like a Taoist flying boat, bathing in the misty drizzle all the time.
The high mountains can prevent the north wind from coming, and the deep sea can keep the rain and snow for a long time.
The high mountains can block the cold current from the grassland, and the land near the sea has always had a humid climate. If the mountains and the sea are regarded as a person, then when they do not deliberately restrain their breath, their mere existence itself will affect everything around them.
The same is true for dragons. It can call the wind and rain, and wherever it passes, heavy rain will fall, and it can even move against the time of the sky.
After all, Suzuka Gozen is a pseudo-immortal, and he holds the Fenglinzhou artifact. He did not panic, but carefully observed the behemoth in front of him.
Suzuka Gozen felt a little relieved.
Although the huge creature in front of us looks very scary, it is obviously not a real dragon, but a genus of Jiaolong.
A snake turns into a Jiao after 500 years, a Jiao turns into a dragon after 1,000 years, a dragon turns into a Horned Dragon after 500 years, and a Yinglong after 1,000 years.
The full name of Yinglong is the Dragon of Time and the Dragon of Virtue. Its name is Ji, also known as Gengchen, that is, Huanglong and Feilong. It is a winged real dragon in ancient mythology, comparable to the three-tribulation earth immortal.
The Horned Dragon is the oldest among dragons, with larger dragon horns and more forks, equivalent to the two-tribulation immortal.
There is not much difference between dragons and Horned Dragons, with slightly smaller dragon horns, equivalent to the one-tribulation immortal.
Compared with dragons, Jiaolongs are different in many ways.
First of all, the dragon horns are different. The Jiaolong's horns are straight and short, without forks; the dragon has two horns, and each horn has forks.
Secondly, the tail is different. The Jiaolong's tail is bald, similar to the tail of a snake; the dragon's tail not only has scales, but also has a tail fin.
Finally, the claws are different. The Jiaolong has only four claws, and the dragon has five claws.
Suzuka Gozen was facing a Jiaolong, not a real dragon.
But even so, it should not be underestimated. Jiaolong is comparable to an immortal.
Suzuka Gozen had seen Jiaolong hundreds of years ago. It passed over the sky of Suzuka Mountain. The two sides had no intersection. After hundreds of years, she had not seen Jiaolong again. She only heard that the Taoists slaughtered Jiaolong on a large scale to make flying boats.
This was the first time that Suzuka Gozen observed Jiaolong so closely.
After a moment of confrontation between one person and Jiaolong, Jiaolong took the lead and roared. The sound of the dragon roar shocked Suzuka Gozen's body and froze. She was so afraid that her hands and feet were a little out of control.
The divine beasts have their own magical powers. For example, the phoenix can be reborn from the ashes, the tiger can turn the people they killed into ghosts, and the dragon is born with the dragon's power, which can intimidate people or birds, beasts, fish and insects whose realm is not as good as it, and even make them slaves and puppets of Jiaolong.
Suzuka Gozen is only a pseudo-immortal, but the dragon is equivalent to an immortal. Although Suzuka Gozen will not become a servant of the dragon, the dragon power contained in the dragon roar still makes Suzuka Gozen's mind confused.
The dragon opened its mouth and was about to swallow Suzuka Gozen into its stomach.
For all kinds of divine beasts, there is no such thing as fasting, especially to maintain a huge body, it is necessary to eat, but the interval between meals is very long, maybe once every few years, and one meal will eat a giant whale. However, for mountain gods like Suzuka Gozen who have achieved success in cultivation, although their bodies are not big, they are enough to resist billions of fish and shrimps, allowing them to not eat for decades and shorten the time required to transform into a dragon.
At the critical moment, Suzuka Gozen suddenly came back to his senses and floated back.
The dragon chased closely, and Suzuka Gozen was not polite. He pulled out the "Datonglian" and chopped it hard on the dragon's nose.
The nose is a vulnerable place. This sword went down, and the dragon was in great pain and twisted its body wildly.
Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world and the masters of the human world. Therefore, whether they are monsters or beasts, they must eventually transform into humans. If neither of them has cultivation, then beasts must be stronger than humans. However, after embarking on the path of immortality, beasts are naturally insufficient in terms of the upper body and the heart. In addition to their innate magical powers, it is difficult for them to learn the various methods passed down by the Taoist and Buddha ancestors. This is because these methods are designed for humans. The internal structure of beasts is different from that of humans. The positions of meridians, acupoints, and dantian are very different. How can they learn them? Therefore, except for some gifted aliens, monsters want to go further and most of them have to transform into humans. The fox clan is the best among them.
When the high-level Taoists besieged Lu Wu, who was equivalent to the second-level immortal, they were able to repel him. However, if they were replaced by a heart-learning saint who was also a second-level immortal, they would definitely be defeated. The fundamental reason is that Lu Wu is a beast and has never transformed. When fighting against humans, he can only rely on his innate magical powers and a physique that is stronger than that of a human immortal. This gives him an opportunity to take advantage of.
The same was true for the dragon. Its huge body rolled wildly in the air. Wherever it passed, the sea of clouds rolled, thunder and lightning flashed, and a lot of water vapor was accompanied.
It rained heavily.
Suzuka Gozen was still not frightened, because the great master Zhang Qihan was not far away and had not made a move. After all, the dragon was not a dragon, and it was definitely not an opponent for Zhang Qihan.
Soon, the dragon pounced on Suzuka Gozen again. Suzuka Gozen held "Datonglian" and "Xiaotonglian" in both hands, and the two swords came out together, confronting the dragon from the front.
Compared with the two swords, the dragon's body was naturally huge, but it was blocked by the seemingly tiny two swords.
The dragon roared, accompanied by the dragon's roar, and the mighty dragon power spread out.
Although Suzuka Gozen was prepared this time and was not affected by its dragon power, her body still retreated.
After Suzuka Gozen stopped retreating, she was trembling slightly from the tip of her sword to the hilt of her sword, and then to her palm, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. It can be seen that the brute force of the dragon is great. Even though dragons are not good at brute force, with the blessing of their huge bodies, they can be comparable to or even slightly better than pseudo-immortal warriors like "Dongzhu".
Suzuka Gozen felt that the bones, flesh, and meridians of her arms were damaged to varying degrees, but she did not stop at all. She crossed her two swords, and two sword lights slashed at the dragon from left to right.
The dragon did not take it hard, turned around and swung its tail, and sank into the sea of clouds again.
It is strange to say that the dragon is so huge, and after entering the sea of clouds, you can still see a little bit of it at first, and then it completely disappears after a while. It can really be big or small, can rise or hide; when it is big, it can create clouds and mist, and when it is small, it can hide its shape; when it rises, it soars in the universe, and when it hides, it lurks in the waves.
Then there was a dragon roar, and the sky showed strange phenomena, strong winds, faint thunder and lightning, boiling clouds, and then turned like a whirlpool, as if a huge funnel extended to the ground, and finally turned into a tornado, with the momentum of connecting the sky and the ground.
The dragon is not good at brute force. In many cases, it is more like a Taoist priest than a warrior.
This kind of magical power of calling the wind and rain, swallowing clouds and spitting out mist is the natural magical power of the dragon. It can be said that the magic of using it lies in one's heart.
The huge tornado connected the sky and the ground, moving slowly. Wherever it passed, houses and buildings were razed to the ground, all kinds of debris were rolled up into the sky, and even big trees were uprooted. Looking around, the earth was full of gullies and devastation.
It contained an irresistible and majestic suction force, which made it difficult for Suzuka Gozen to break free.
Fortunately, it was spring, and there was not so much moisture. If it were summer, with plenty of rain, the power would be even greater. By then, heavy rain would fall, floods would overflow, and the levees would burst. I'm afraid that half of northern Ise would be affected.
Suzuka Gozen could no longer hold back. She pulled out the "Xianminglian" from her waist, and turned into a light curtain, sparkling, and then the light curtain flowed and closed into a sphere, covering her.
The howling storm fell on the light curtain, like the wind passing over the lake, stirring up ripples, and then disappeared. The light ball protecting Suzuka Gozen stood still, so that Suzuka Gozen inside was not affected at all.
The two sides were deadlocked for a long time, and the dragon's momentum did not decrease. Suzuka Gozen gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At this juncture, Suzuka Gozen finally combined the three swords of "Datonglian", "Xiaotonglian" and "Xianminglian".
A giant sword like an inverted mountain appeared, hanging high between heaven and earth.
This mountain is Mount Suzuka.
The tornado that connected the sky and the earth seemed to have encountered a stabilizing needle and gradually dissipated.
The dragon showed its figure and looked at the giant sword. There was a bit of solemnity in its golden pupils. Then it coiled up like a snake formation, raised its dragon head, and waited for the battle.
Suzuka Gozen slowly raised his right arm, and the index and middle fingers of his right hand made sword fingers, trembling slightly, as if it was difficult to hold a heavy object in his hand for a long time, and then pointed at the dragon.
The Suzuka sword hanging upside down in the air fell with great momentum.
The dragon's golden pupils first showed a bit of fear in a very human way, and then it was angry and humiliated, with angry eyes and beards, and countless condensed water vapor gushed out of the dragon's mouth, like a river bursting its dam, filling this sky.
The dragon's roar even rippled in the sky with a circle of visible ripples, spreading to the surrounding layers.
The mountain-like giant sword came from top to bottom, and the mighty dragon breath came from bottom to top.
The two collided with a bang.
It was like a mountain peak smashed into the sea, stirring up huge waves.
Finally, they all disappeared into thin air.
The dragon was completely enraged, and its huge body no longer maintained the snake formation posture, but stretched out again, and the dragon roared continuously, and a huge wave suddenly rose on the sea of clouds.
