Dragon King's Son-In-Law-Chapter 712: Qiu Niu~
Hao Ren looked up and could only see white.
"Hold tight!" Hao Ren reminded Su Han since he was worried that there were traps at the top of the tower.
"OK!" Su Han nodded while clasping her hands around Hao Ren's neck. Then, she rubbed her chin on Hao Ren's shoulder a bit.
They had been through a lot to reach the top of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. She didn't want all this effort to be wasted.
Hao Ren climbed to the top. Then, he touched the bottom of the platform before striking it with a punch to create a hole in it.
Hao Ren did not hesitate for even one second, and he carried Su Han and jumped up.
Su Han could feel her nature essence suddenly being rereleased. Surprisingly, there was no hundun energy at the top of the Nine Dragon Palace. Instead, it was pure five elemental nature essence.
Su Han took one breath and already felt the slight increase in her realm; no wonder this was the holy place for dragon cultivators.
Hao Ren was out of energy, so he observed the environment while trying to recover.
He thought that he would need to go through much more trouble to get to the platform, but they easily made it up. On second thought, there weren't really many cultivators who could climb to the top of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
Many strange plants grew here, and their fragrance was flowery. There were a lot of Lingzhi Mushrooms, and they were as thick as tires. If someone randomly picked one, it would be more than 1,000-year-old.
"Pick some more. Most of them are more than 10,000-year-old." Su Han threw over a half-metal-half-wood box.
Hao Ren didn't know what to do with these spiritual herbs, nor did he know what the spiritual herbs he needed looked like. Therefore, he randomly picked a lot of colorful spiritual herbs and put them in the box.
He had carried Su Han all the way here; getting the spiritual herbs was a repayment. It would probably be a lot more difficult if they were to come to the Nine Dragon Palace next time.
Boom! The platform that was thousands of meters wide suddenly shook while Hao Ren ran around and picked spiritual herbs.
Su Han who was looking around and measuring the platform couldn't maintain her balance and fell into a bush of flowers.
Su Han was already a peak Qian-level cultivator, but there was a strong, powerful presence that suppressed Su Han to the ground.
Hao Ren lay on the ground and put the box into his necklace. He had to use a lot of strength to just look up.
Slowly, they saw a black palace in the sky.
There was a small yellow dragon with scales and horns flying around this black palace.
Squeak! The purple gold hairpin which was attached on Su Han's hair suddenly flew out on its own. It turned into the size of a mountain instantaneously and attacked the yellow dragon viciously.
The yellow dragon that was flying around the black palace was slower to react, but it raised its sharp dragon claws in time.
Although it looked like a dragon, it was only the size of a snake. It probably was smaller than a python.
Hao Ren could clearly sense the power that the purple gold hairpin unleashed. It was a power on the level of Soul Formation Realm. Wait, it was beyond the Soul Formation Realm!
Bam!
Smoke was everywhere… Two of the yellow dragon's legs were blown off!
The purple gold hairpin that was Lady Zhen's treasure had been sacrificed at the same time; it turned into powder!
"Don't just stand there! Attack!" Su Han climbed up and shouted.
She charged with her longsword in her hand.
Su Han knew very clearly that this yellow dragon was Qiu Niu, the leader of the ancestral dragons.
Hao Ren couldn't believe that the strong purple gold hairpin got turned into powder with just one hit; even the golden shield was afraid of it. However, with such sacrifice, the opponent had also suffered heavy damage!
He didn't expect that he would have to attack an ancestor of the Dragon Tribe!
However, there was no turning back now.
Just like what Lady Zhen said, Qiu Niu was weakest in these few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost two legs with just an attack by a treasure!
However, the sudden attack of the purple gold hairpin left them with no other choice but to attack as well! They did not have the chance to negotiate with Qiu Niu who had a strange temper anymore!
Whoosh! Hao Ren let out 5,120 sword energies; that was his limit.
"Ignorant youngsters!" Qiu Niu was still in the form of a small dragon while he mumbled these words. He used the remaining claws he had to let out a series of golden light.
Although his realm was the lowest now, he was still at the Soul Formation Realm!
He immediately understood the situation after the self-detonation of Lady Zhen's purple golden hairpin; he knew who sent them here.
He only took Lady Zhen's son as a disciple, but Lady Zhen took it to heart.
Qiu Niu's realm had fallen to his lowest, so he couldn't transform into his human form. However, he was still capable of great power, and Su Han and Hao Ren could barely move!
Qiu Niu didn't even have 10% of his normal strength right now. If he were at his prime, he would be able to crush them with just one finger!
"Get out!" Qiu Niu blasted out his anger. Its body was only half a meter long, but no one could deny that he had great power.
Of the nine sons of the Godly Dragon, he was the one who was closest to the Godly Dragon, so he was the most important ancestor to dragon cultivators.
However, these two juniors did not know their position. They dared to attack him, and that was because they were bewitched by that demon king in the Demon Sea!
He spat a mouthful of dragon breath, and big platform immediately turned into a sea of fire!
This platform was a garden for spiritual herbs that were very old. Now, these spiritual herbs were burning and withering! This was the Hundun Heavenly Fire!
A half-black-half-white energy sphere that was about two meters in diameter appeared around Su Han, and she floated on top of the platform so that the Hundun Heavenly Fire wouldn't burn her.
Hao Ren retrieved his thousands of sword energies immediately so that he could surround himself with a lightning energy sphere.
Hao Ren felt it was such a waste for these spiritual herbs that were tens of thousands of years old to be suddenly burned by the fire.
However, rather than worrying about those spiritual herbs, he was more worried about himself and Su Han.
Even though Qiu Niu only had one-tenth of his full power, he was still not someone who could to be reckoned with!
His thin dragon claws lightly tapped on the black palace and a strange light immediately came out beside him.
"Go!"
Su Han was almost about to go through the Heavenly Tribulation, and she used her black and white energy sphere to protect herself from the Hundun Heavenly Fire while using her longsword.
The longsword left a dash of green light in the sky, and the light aimed toward Qiu Niu who was on top of the palace.
If Qiu Niu were not there, then everything would be ok. However, Qiu Niu was there, so she could only fight him!
Qiu Niu had severely injured her last time when she tried to enter the Nine Dragon Palace, so this battle was also revenge for Su Han.
Qiu Niu's yellow dragon form was only half a meter long, which was shorter than Su Han's longsword. However, he was a godly beast, so he was very difficult for Su Han's sword even to get close!
He struck out a black cone-shaped energy wave toward the longsword with his sharp claws. At the same time, a dense and piercing power aimed toward Hao Ren and Su Han!
Although Qiu Niu only had one-tenth of his strength, they were still no match for him!
"Go!"
The sword energies around Hao Ren suddenly dispersed and went charging toward Su Han's longsword, and these sword energies stuck firmly around the longsword.
The longsword and the five element sword energies were respectively Su Han and Hao Ren's natal dharma treasures. The fact that Hao Ren used his own sword energies to surround Su Han's sword energies was more intimate than him bugging her.
Hao Ren knew that Su Han's longsword was connected to her soul. If it were to break, not only would her realm fall drastically, she would also be severely injured.
Su Han turned over to look at Hao Ren; she knew that Hao Ren was on the same boat as her. Suddenly, their souls and minds became one, and a five-colored light shone from the longsword.
If they could break Qiu Niu's full force attack, they could defeat him!
Hiss! Qiu Niu's black cone-shaped waves struck the tip of Su Han's longsword!
Bam! Hao Ren's sword energies scattered into thousands of pieces instantly.
Although Su Han's longsword was knocked away, it wasn't broken. However, it had fallen off the platform and down into the abyss!
Qiu Niu was at the weakest moment of his life, and the purple gold hairpin had already wounded him when it exploded! Hao Ren and Su Han had tried their best but still couldn't fight against Qiu Niu in his current condition.
"Humph!"
Qiu Niu snorted and struck out again.
A black cone-shaped energy wave that was visible to the eyes was charging at Su Han.
Hao Ren's sword energies scattered in the midst of the burning Hundun Heavenly Fire, and he felt like this burning fire was cooking his dragon core.
The five elemental nature essence in his body was evaporating out of his body, and he had little power to go against it.
He had lost focus for a split second, and that black energy wave was already closing in on Su Han.
Just like Hao Ren, Su Han was floating on the same spot, unable to move. She could only watch as the black energy wave came at her!
Qiu Niu's realm had fallen drastically, but he was still mighty!
Boom!
Hao Ren suddenly escaped, and he tapped his feet on the floor and charged over to Su Han.
Su Han could not move her feet at all. All she could do was to open her eyes wide and watch Hao Ren charge over; it seemed like he was trying to take this hit for her!
Hao Ren used Zhao Haoran's peak Qian-level cultivation strength again.
He didn't have any treasures with him, so he would die if he got struck at Gen-level.
"Hundun!" A circular light appeared in Hao Ren's palm.
Bam! All the spiritual herbs dust on the platform rose.
Su Han's shoulders shook as she slowly opened her eyes and wondered if she were still alive!
All she could see was Hao Ren hugging her, and the black energy wave that should have hit them was blocked by one thing.
Golden shield!
The golden shield spun in the air, and there was a huge dent in its center. However, it blocked the black waves!
Hao Ren looked at the golden shield with great surprise! He did not expect it to have followed them secretly and save them during this critical moment.
Bam! Qiu Niu struck out again, and this wave directly knocked over the golden shield. Like a piece of broken iron, the golden shield fell into the scorched soil.
"Little Shield…" Hao Ren called out in surprise. He felt like this supreme spiritual treasure had no chance of survival.
"You think you could steal the godly item with just two peak Qian-level fools and one supreme spiritual treasure?!" Qiu Niu scoffed.
He was in the critical moment of his seclusion, but he caught his breath now.
There weren't many dragon cultivators with such courage, but he didn't mind letting them suffer a bit!
The little yellow dragon that was flying above the palace suddenly started to fly. The front legs that had been blown off started to grow back, and this yellow dragon waved its tail and extended to thousands of meters long.
Whoosh! It spat out its dragon core!
Buzz… Su Han's longsword suddenly flew back from afar.
"Three!" a voice suddenly sounded from afar.
