Chapter 1998: Chapter 962: Origins (Part 2) "This is your one and only chance in this life. The Second Elder is dead, Shen Tuao’s blood qi is depleted, alone. If you don’t fight now, you will never have a chance to obtain the Great Wilderness Dragon Pattern in this lifetime." Elder Bear Pi’s gaze trembled, his heart in turmoil, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and stood in front of Young Master Xuan. Shen Tuao was not angry, but sneered: "Transform into a dragon? What kind of trash deserves to transform into a dragon? Fine, since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish." Shen Tuao’s figure flashed, trailing a dragon shadow, arriving in front of Young Master Xuan in just the blink of an eye. Amidst the roar of the Evil Dragon, a pair of massive hands, carrying the force of ten thousand pounds, slammed down fiercely. Young Master Xuan’s expression changed, and his figure immediately twisted into a non-human, bizarre posture, like a rubber band, shedding the pressure from the Evil Dragon, and escaping from Shen Tuao’s palm. Shen Tuao’s palm missed, and with a reverse hand, he struck again. But this strike was intercepted mid-air by a demon hand as robust as a Bear Pi’s. Golden Core Strength shocked, the aura rampaged, sending a wave of intense fluctuation outward. Strength shredded, a foul wind howling, those present were Golden Core cultivators, but Mo Hua in the Foundation Establishment Realm couldn’t withstand it. He took this opportunity to pretend to lose his footing, being blown away by the strong wind, rolling a few times on the ground, and ended up hiding in the corner of the hall. In such a Golden Core Realm battle, no one cared about him, a Foundation Establishment Realm "little puppet." Thus, Young Master Xuan through Planting Devil in Taoist Heart, commanded Mr. Hui and Stone, along with Elder Bear Pi in the late Golden Core Stage, to fight against Shen Tuao. Shen Tuao had frequently used the power of his bloodline along the way, activating the Great Wilderness heritage, depleting much blood qi, reducing his strength significantly. Young Master Xuan and the others were outnumbered. Yet despite this, they still weren’t Shen Tuao’s match. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺 Shen Tuao, barehanded, wielded the power of the Evil Dragon between his punches and palms, azure-red Formation Patterns flickering, with the support of the Four Symbols Green Dragon Evil Formation, forcing Elder Bear Pi, who was also in the late Golden Core Stage, with strong cultivation and a body like steel, to retreat step by step. Let alone Young Master Xuan. He could only maneuver from afar, relying on scarlet sword light for restraint, or use Planting Devil in Taoist Heart for slight interference, not daring to approach. Mo Hua lay like a wooden man, watching the scene from afar, inwardly envious. "This is the Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation..." The formation integrates into the body, a punch with a dragon shadow, both attack and defense, both majestic and powerful, not only does the body have dragon scales’ protection, but dragon power also reigns supreme in the attack. If I learned it, I wonder if I could be this powerful. Of course, his physical foundation is too shallow, he definitely couldn’t learn it well. But even if he was half as strong as Shen Tuao, no, even a tenth as strong, that would be quite enough. Then when using the Water Passing Step, he wouldn’t just focus on dodging, occasionally he could throw a punch. A punch with a dragon shadow, regardless of its true power, would definitely be intimidating. "Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation..." The more Mo Hua watched, the more envious he became. Meanwhile, Shen Tuao held the absolute advantage, Mr. Hui and Stone had already been crippled, thrown aside. The Bear Demon cultivator and Young Master Xuan were even overwhelmed, gasping for breath. "Indeed, underestimated him, the heritage of the Great Wilderness Royal Clan truly lives up to its name..." Young Master Xuan muttered, gritting his teeth, then looked at the Bear Demon cultivator, saying: "Elder Bear, there’s no need to hide your prowess anymore." Elder Bear Pi’s gaze deepened. Shen Tuao paused, then realized, and immediately punched towards Elder Bear Pi. This punch was unexpected, with a power stronger than ever. Seeing he couldn’t block it, Elder Bear Pi gritted his teeth, and his originally robust and muscular body suddenly slithered, like a sturdy python, coiling around Shen Tuao, biting down on the back of his neck fiercely, blood gushing. Shen Tuao, injured, with unchanged gaze, punched again. This punch struck Elder Bear Pi properly, the sound of bones shattering resounded, flesh tearing. Elder Bear Pi spat a mouthful of blood, immediately transforming back into Bear Pi, retreating to the side. But his arm hung limply. Especially the skin on top, shredded by the strength of the Evil Dragon, flesh mangled. But the next moment, demonic power flowed, bones regenerating, his skin slowly recovering, the damaged skin shedding, revealing new monster patterns underneath. This was an eerie snake pattern. Mo Hua had mingled in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, meddling with these Four Symbols Monster Patterns, now watching with a silent shock. This Bear Demon cultivator had, quite uniquely, two monster patterns. One was the Bear Demon Pattern, the other was the Snake Demon Pattern. Mo Hua’s eyes flickered. Just one glance, and he understood the origin of this snake pattern. This snake pattern belonged to the Snake Demon Elder, one of the three Golden Core Demon Cultivators in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. During the siege of the Demon Sect, the Snake Demon Elder died, and his monster pattern seemed to be stripped. Now, this snake pattern was merged onto the Bear Demon cultivator. Either he secretly peeled it off when the Snake Elder died. Or beforehand, he had schemed against the Snake Elder, skinned him, causing the Snake Elder to get fatally injured during the Taoist Court’s siege. Mo Hua silently clicked his tongue. Indeed, the cultivation world is perilous, these Demon Cultivators have more plots than one. Even though he knew some of these Demon Cultivators’ backgrounds, he never expected that this seemingly honest Elder Bear would be so deeply scheming.
