Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 839 - 435: Hanhai Demon Dragon (Part 2)

"She... she doesn’t dislike you, don’t blame her, she’s just sick...

The women in our family, especially once they become mothers, are the most prone to going mad, and when they fall ill, they easily see ghosts.

They always feel like a ghost is going to possess them, to seize their child, so...

So sometimes they scream about wanting to kill the ghost, and other times they are heartbroken beyond measure...

In the palace, if a child is born, they never dare let us raise them ourselves, I was also brought up by Lady Gan from a young age..."

Tie Dan still didn’t speak.

Shi Gui sat in silence with him for a while, then said softly,

"Do you miss her a lot... I know, I miss Lady Gan too...

They say, when we grow up it’ll be better...

But I’ve grown up, and I still miss her so much..."

Tie Dan opened his mouth, finally shook his head,

"I can no longer remember what she looks like."

Shi Gui gave a forlorn smile, suddenly turned to him and suggested,

"You can look at me then. We probably look similar, right."

Tie Dan looked into her eyes, silent for a moment,

"So when will you go mad?"

Shi Gui choked at that, spat at him,

"Thanks for your concern, I’m just fine!"

Tie Dan was about to say more, but just then the distant rumble of cannons grew closer, like the footsteps of some gigantic beast, as if an invisible monster named ’death’ was gradually approaching, forcing the young man and woman resting in the forest to move on.

So he swallowed his words, rose to his feet, propped up by his sword, tugged the Spirit Silk to cover Shi Gui’s hair,

"Call for me if you see a ghost."

"...Okay."

So Tie Dan set out again, chasing the explosive sounds, the sounds of battle, the roars, the screams, quickly rushing out of the Imperial Forest, towards the vortex filled with blood and fire, death and chaos, desperation and brutality.

But probably having wasted too much time on youthful sentiments along the way, by the time he arrived, the battle was over.

The man once called King of Hejian, Shi Xuan, was already dead.

Now lurking in the West Palace of the Prince Mansion, all that remained was a wailing, mourning, thrashing and screaming Jiao.

Jiao, a dragon species, resembles a fish with a snake’s tail, shaped like a snake but with four legs, like a lizard but with a large body, covered in scaly skin with no horns, its head like a tiger, its voice like a cow mooing, several tens of meters long.

Yes, having lost human form, transformed into a Jiao, although not yet considered a dragon, after killing so many people and eating so much flesh, it was likely almost grown.

The final form, is the inevitable fate of the Shi family men, the Hanhai Demon Dragon.

Indeed, the men of the Shi family are true Dragon Seeds, and not just ordinary dragons, they are super-evolved hybrids.

Well, to be exact, dragons are actually all hybrids, there is no such thing as 100% pureblooded.

Fish can become dragons, snakes can become dragons, all sorts of messy dragon seeds can become dragons.

The word dragon is just a designation, referring to beings that, for various reasons, undergo biological mutations, break through genetic shackles, open up self-evolution mutations, possibly losing control and dying suddenly, or undergoing super-evolutionary changes.

So no matter what the original form was, a dragon can evolve, become stronger through continuous killing, continuous eating, continuous evolution, stealing stronger genes, mimicking more powerful life forms, constantly completing itself, ultimately not tolerated by heaven and earth, far exceeding the limits of flesh and blood that are designed and created.

And this nest of Hanhai Demon Dragons, is the company’s selected strongest biological soldiers from the Demon Demon Battlefield in the Taiji Realm, original gene strains of Immortal Venerable. Injected into those predators at the top of the natural world for millions of years, the dragon’s biological wetware.

Through strict selection, devouring, and evolution, they were ultimately cultivated, designed for combat, as military wetware, super mutants.

Shi Jiao used this body, and Tie Dan used this same body.

There is no other, only one; this is the strongest version in the Taiji Realm.

Tie Dan knows these secrets clearly, even more so than Shi Gui.

After all, in the dream of that department head at the Peak of Jiuxiao, he saw his own essence clearly from his own files.

Indeed, from the first time he assassinated Shi Jiao, Tie Dan was already marked by the company and put on file.

And after thoroughly investigating him, the company did nothing.

Because it’s scientific and nothing unusual.

No matter how hard a maggot tries, it can’t leap and change into a dragon. And a newly born young Jiao will devour tigers and kill people.

This is an objective rule written into the genetic code, so Tie Dan’s strength is unsurprising.

Thus, the Sect Leader of the Mystic Sect, the Five Elders of Five Directions, the Four Great Heavenly Kings, ultimately chose him as the sword.

Not the Heavenly Demon Sword Seed Chen Huzi, not the Divine Sect Dharma King Lu Xiaoliu.

It had to be Tie Dan, only Tie Dan, to become the Sword Master that would assassinate Tian Gang and reclaim Nine Yin Mountain.

Because in the view of mysticism, Tie Dan is the strongest.

He is the king seed of Kan Country, he is the bloodline of the Shi Family, he is the Demon Fetus of the Heavenly Dragon.

As long as he’s trained, cultivated, crafted, invested in, he will certainly grow stronger.

Even a once-a-millennium Dao Seed, won’t be stronger than him.

Because he has that potential.

Because he has that destiny.

In this world, there is no randomness, everything is calculated, everything has a cause, every action has a consequence.

Unfortunately, Shi Xuan didn’t have such significant karma, nor such a hard fate.

So, as just mentioned, he died.

Inside and outside the royal city, corpses were everywhere, personal iron guards, almost entirely dead or injured.
