" Emperor Yanfeng roused his vital essence, and a small cloud the size of a palm emerged three inches above his head; several wisps of dragon qi thin as earthworms bared claws and fangs, most ferocious.
Emperor Yanfeng's vital essence was spent, and the cloud and dragon qi dispersed with a pop. Emperor Yanfeng panted for breath and said sheepishly, "I have no dharma power left, but you should understand the idea.
" Shen Mu nodded, roused the Mystic Body Three Elixir Art, and fused the Nine Dragons Emperor Art with the vital essence of his Overlord Body; in midair dragons suddenly hid and appeared, nine dragons thrusting out their claws and crushing to powder all the rocks within several dozen zhang around them.
Emperor Yanfeng was stunned, and the Imperial Preceptor was astonished as well, and they saw the nine dragons circle and fly above them, then suddenly turn into fire dragons, flames whirling, and at once a fire tornado formed around them, lifting their bodies up. The fire dragons changed again, commanding a great flood and bearing them upon the water; then thunder erupted, crackling and striking down all around.
Emperor Yanfeng and the Imperial Preceptor exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
This Nine Dragons Emperor Art, the moment Shen Mu took it in hand, was as if he had cultivated it for ten or twenty years—truly wielded at will, better than most of the princes in the Imperial Academy's Princes' Court cultivated it.
Shen Mu dispersed the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Cover, and Emperor Yanfeng taught him all he had learned and realized without reserve, and sighed, "If only your surname were Ling. . .
" Ahead, the capital was only two or three days' journey away, and there were still three days until the third month's sixth day, when the crown prince would ascend the throne. Suddenly a great bird flew in on beating wings, rolled upon landing, and became a woman in blue robes, who stood bowed before them. "Reporting to the Holy Master, all is prepared.
" Shen Mu nodded. "Go on ahead.
" "As you command.
" The woman turned and ran two steps, then suddenly her body shook, two wings grew from her back, and she tore through the air and was gone. "If the Great Thunderclap Temple and the Daoist sect can kill an emperor, then my Heaven Sacred Cult can too.
Otherwise, how could we be the foremost holy land of the demon path? " Shen Mu said softly.
The Imperial Preceptor frowned. "What do you intend? " "Enter the city. Kill the emperor.
"
