Chapter 42 Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit
Update Time: 5-15 12:55:25 Words: 3709

Heavy snow fell, and apart from the warm Fire Dragon Cave, the rest of Dang Mountain was shrouded in icy desolation.
Dang Mountain, Green Pine Village.
"Senior Brother, I recently used my magic to investigate and discovered that the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit in the Fire Dragon Cave is almost ripe!"
In a rather ornately decorated house, Black Pine Daoist said to Green Pine Daoist.
"Hmm?"
Daoist Qingsong, who was meditating with his eyes closed, was surprised to hear this, and a smile appeared on his pale yellow face. "Good! The Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit is the most yang spiritual treasure in the world. If we consume it, our magical power will increase by a hundred years. At that time, besides us, who else in Dangshan can command the wind and rain!"
"But Senior Brother, the Fire Dragon Cave is currently occupied by that mortal named Liu Bang. He also has Bai Xiu Nu from White Horse Village and Long Lin of unknown origin protecting him. If we don't get rid of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to collect the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit!"
Daoist Heishong frowned and rubbed his nose.
Daoist Qingsong nodded slightly. "Bai Xiu Nu and Long Lin, are these the two who conspired against you last time, causing you to lose four magical clones?"
"Yes, last time I concentrated my magical power to fight Bai Xiu Nu, but who knew that Long Lin would sneak up and take advantage of my vulnerability!" Heishong said through gritted teeth.
Qingsong remained calm. "Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. You brothers have been defeated countless times since you cultivated your human form on the cliff five hundred years ago, yet you still sit here in Qingsong Village, the most powerful of all."
"Senior brother is right. Back then, when I cultivated the scriptures of that Daoist who had passed away, I always adhered to the precept of not wantonly killing mortals. Otherwise, I would have definitely killed that brat that day!"
Heisong said resentfully.
Qingsong smiled grimly. "Yes, I've always adhered to that precept all these years. However, after this six-month seclusion, I've truly grasped the essence of things and discovered that we aren't necessarily forbidden from indiscriminately killing mortals. We consider ourselves immortals, but what do those people think? They see us as demons. Whether it's those sorcerers or immortal masters, they all find pleasure and merit in eliminating us. Since that's the case, we can also make a living by killing mortals, refine demons into monsters, and fight them!"
Heisong was somewhat surprised. "Senior brother? What about the Daoist techniques we've comprehended?"
Qingsong smiled and said, "To be honest, this is precisely the result of my six months of cultivation. I've understood the principles of entering the path of the master and cultivating oneself, only then can I realize the true path of self."
Heisong was somewhat confused and looked at Qingsong Daoist with doubt.
Qingsong Daoist laughed heartily, "One general's fame is built on the bones of ten thousand; heroes emerge from the carnage. In reality, demons are immortals, and immortals are demons; the strong are respected—this is the law of the Three Realms!"
Heisong suddenly understood, saying, "Good! Listening to Senior Brother's words has truly enlightened me! Hmm... Senior Brother, we should hurry to retrieve the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit."
Qingsong pondered for a moment, then said, "No rush. I just killed Tianhong Scholar of Tianhong Village, and my magical power is somewhat insufficient. Bring a few alchemical furnaces to help me recover. If I can recover tonight, we can head to the Fire Dragon Cave tomorrow!"
"Good! Coincidentally, today my brothers found three beautiful young women in Dang County; they are all of superior beauty and are the perfect candidates to help me recover."
Heisong replied, smiling as he went out, returning shortly after. Behind him followed three henchmen, each escorting a young girl bound from head to toe and blindfolded.
"Alright, you can all leave!"
After dismissing Heisong and the others, Qingsong, a sinister smile on his face, untied the black cloth covering a young girl's eyes.
"You...who are you?"
the girl asked in terror.
Qingsong smiled slightly, looking directly into the girl's eyes, and said softly, "Look into my eyes, and I'll tell you..."
A faint black light emanated from his pupils, brushing against the girl's face. The girl's eyes flickered, her previous terror vanishing instantly, replaced by a radiant smile of surprise.
"Ahua? It really is you..."
"It's me...Come, come this way!"
Qingsong said softly, walking towards the back.
The girl followed Qingsong slowly towards the back room, standing before the bed.
Qingsong placed his large hand on the girl's fragrant shoulder, "You're tired, take off your clothes and rest here!"
"Mmm..."
The girl obediently nodded, slowly reaching out to unbutton her top, then lying down on the bed.
Qingsong closed his eyes slightly, listening to the girl's even breathing, smiled slightly, and then quietly touched her.
"Ah... Husband... harder!"
Bai Xiu Nu closed her eyes, her two long, beautiful legs spread wide, welcoming Long Lin's powerful thrusts.
Inside the Fire Dragon Cave, Long Lin and Bai Xiu Nu were engaged in their passionate lovemaking.
Long Lin let out a tiger's roar, arching his upper body, his knees spread wide as he straddled Bai Xiu Nu, forcefully thrusting into her most tender parts.
"Husband... I can't take it..."
Bai Xiu Nu cried out repeatedly, a strand of her hair already soaked with sweat, swaying with Long Lin's movements.
"Hmm..."
Finally, with a sudden tremor in Long Lin's waist, Bai Xiu Nu's snow-white legs rose high, as if desperately wanting to welcome something, then suddenly fell limply, her limbs going weakly onto the bed.
"Husband..."
Bai Xiu Nu's face was filled with deep satisfaction as she softly called out to Long Lin.
"What?"
Long Lin lay beside her, his lips lightly touching her earlobe, one large hand resting on her lower abdomen, gently caressing it.
"It's so good to marry you..."
Bai Xiu Nu's blush hadn't faded when she suddenly turned to face Long Lin, their eyes meeting. Her slender arms wrapped around his neck, her breath sweet as orchids.
Long Lin smiled, his lips curving into a wide grin, his eyes narrowing. He comfortably agreed and rolled onto Bai Xiu Nu's fragrant body.
"Really? Actually, I think it's wonderful to marry you too!"
Long Lin leaned down and whispered in Bai Xiu Nu's ear.
Bai Xiu Nu smiled sweetly and was about to turn away, but Long Lin held her back. Their breaths met, and Bai Xiu Nu's red lips parted slightly, incredibly alluring.
And so, another storm of passion began.
Until both of them were completely exhausted, they relaxed and nestled together, whispering sweet nothings in bed.
"Husband, I have a little question, and you must answer truthfully!"
Bai Xiu Nu blinked and said.
"Of course..." Long Lin closed his eyes, feeling his own breath.
"You seem much stronger since you returned from Tengjia Village. Did you acquire some secret technique?"
Bai Xiunü asked.
"Yes...it's a very powerful secret technique!"
Long Lin said mysteriously.
"What secret technique? Tell me about it..."
Bai Xiunü said.
Long Lin thought for a moment and said, "It's a method for strengthening the body and tempering the spirit. It works perfectly when used in conjunction with the Intent Sutra! However, it's only suitable for mortals like me. It's not very useful for someone like you who mainly practices magic!"
"Oh..."
Bai Xiunü nodded in agreement.
Seeing Bai Xiu Nu's expression, Long Lin sensed she had something else to say and asked, "Xiu Nu, why did you ask this?"
"Nothing..."
Bai Xiu Nu replied, "Well, what did you see inside the Fire Dragon Cave that day?"
Long Lin then recounted everything he had seen inside the Fire Dragon Cave to Bai Xiu Nu in detail. Bai Xiu Nu paused slightly, then said, "The Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit is almost ripe!"
"The Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit? What is that?"
Long Lin asked hastily.
"It's the fruit you saw in that lava lake! The Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit is the most yang spiritual treasure in the world, a cultivation fruit coveted by many demons who refine their demonic bodies with yang energy. No wonder I've been so restless these past two days,"
Bai Xiu Nu sighed.
Long Lin immediately understood the deeper meaning in Bai Xiu Nu's words. While the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit was in the scorching lava lake, making it unapproachable for mortals, it was a different story for those demons with high magical power. He pondered for a moment and said, "Could someone be eyeing this Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit?"
Bai Xiu Nu nodded. "My only concern is for Qing Song and Hei Song... so we need to pay special attention to Qing Song Village's movements these next few days!"
"Alright!"
Long Lin thought for a moment and agreed. "I wonder if this Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit will be of any benefit to you?"
Bai Xiu Nu shook her head. "The Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit is an extremely yang substance, only men can consume it. Although it wouldn't matter if they took the fruit, if they increased their magical power, it would be even harder for us to survive in Dang Mountain!"
Seeing Long Lin's solemn expression, Bai Xiu Nu smiled gently again: "Husband, don't worry too much... even if they enter the inner cave of the Fire Dragon, the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit won't be easy to obtain, and that fire dragon won't be easy to deal with!"
Long Lin looked at Bai... The young woman glanced at him and asked, "You've been inside the Fire Dragon Cave before?"
Bai Xiu Nu nodded. "Actually, the Fire Dragon Cave isn't a secret in the cultivation world of Dangshan. However, because the fire dragon is so ferocious, only Qing Song, Hei Song, and Tian Hong Shusheng from Tian Hong Cave dare to come and harvest the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit… Husband, I haven't mentioned this to you before, you won't blame me, will you?"
Long Lin smiled. "Of course not… Alright, I'll have people strengthen the defenses tomorrow. Sleep!"
At this moment, in Qing Song Village, Qing Song Dao Ren sat cross-legged on his couch, slowly opening his eyes with a satisfied smile.
Behind him, three unconscious girls lay side by side, their snow-white bodies covered in shocking purplish-black bruises, their legs stained with appalling blood.
Qing Song Dao Ren stood up, glanced at the three girls, and suddenly smiled sinisterly. A layer of azure light enveloped his hands, covering them.
In an instant, the three girls vanished without a trace. From within an ancient cave on the back mountain of Qingsong Village came a strange roar, tinged with excitement.
"Senior Brother... what brings you here?"
Black Pine Daoist entered and asked.
"Prepare yourselves, we're heading to the Fire Dragon Cave!" Qingsong said calmly.
Black Pine's face lit up with joy. "Senior Brother, your magic power has fully recovered?"
Qingsong nodded.
"That's wonderful! We're sure to achieve a great victory this time! Even Scholar Tianhong died at Senior Brother's hands. Who in Dangshan can stand against us now?"
Black Pine exclaimed excitedly.
"It's too early to speak of things before they happen. Black Pine, you still need to strengthen your cultivation!"
Qingsong said calmly.
"Senior Brother is right!" Black Pine paused, then quickly agreed.
Qingsong then instructed, "I've heard that Fire Dragon Stronghold has grown considerably in strength, and with the addition of manpower from Teng Family Village, they've become a formidable enemy. If we attack now, we'll have to take the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit while also dealing with them, inevitably leading to a shortage of manpower. In my opinion, it's best if only the two of us go."
Heisong pondered for a moment and said, "Senior brother is right. As long as we deal with Bai Xiunu and Long Lin, Fire Dragon Stronghold will naturally be ours!"
"Go... take that Black Water Dragon with you; we'll need its help in dealing with the Fire Dragon!"
Qingsong Daoist added.
"Bai Xiunu... sooner or later I'll take you as my furnace... hahaha..."
After Heisong Daoist left, Qingsong muttered to himself, then suddenly burst into wild laughter.
Inside the Fire Dragon Cave, Bai Xiunu, who was sleeping in an embrace with Long Lin, suddenly opened her eyes. Just now, she had felt a sudden pang in her heart. She glanced at Long Lin, who was breathing evenly and sleeping soundly, and suddenly sighed softly.
"My lord, I hope you won't blame me. Actually, I only wanted to unite with you to utilize the dragon energy within you..."
She leaned closer to Long Lin, burying her head in his arms, murmuring to herself.
These past few days, she had combined the dragon energy within Long Lin with her own White Horse True Body, and had already comprehended a new spell from the Intent Sutra—the extremely powerful Dragon Horse True Body Technique.
This spell, once unleashed, was incredibly powerful; it should be able to kill that wicked Taoist Qing Song, who was scheming to take her as his concubine!
Long Lin slept, and in his dream, his Power Sutra True Technique was still being cultivated, gradually changing his physique.

Chapter 43 Husband and Wife United
Update Time: 5-15 18:04:03 Words: 3788

Above Dang Mountain, two clouds, one gray and one black, drifted with the wind, seemingly casually floating above Fire Dragon Village, obscuring a patch of starlight.
Fire Dragon Village was silent; everyone was asleep.
Two Taoist priests dressed in green robes sat cross-legged between two gray and black clouds. One had a pale face, and the other a dark complexion; they were Qingsong and Heisong, the Taoists who had come to raid Fire Dragon Village at night.
"This is it. Let's lure that girl Bai Xiunu out first!"
Qingsong said to Heisong, opening his eyes.
Heisong nodded, raised two fingers, and a black light crackling with electricity shot from between them. With a low shout, it shot down into the clouds.
Inside Fire Dragon Cave, Bai Xiunu suddenly opened her eyes.
"They're here?"
Long Lin asked immediately.
Bai Xiunu nodded. "
They're just outside!" "Let's go out!"
Long Lin said, grabbing his bayonet and leading the way out of the inner cave.
"Husband, I'll take you out. Let's find a way to lure them deeper into the mountains!"
Bai Xiunu said, her body blurring into a gentle breeze.
Long Lin felt a tightening around his waist, and then he was already in mid-air, floating gracefully towards the cave entrance.
"They're there!"
Bai Xiu Nu, having already spotted the two gray and black clouds in the sky, called out to Long Lin. Immediately, a white light appeared in the breeze and shot straight into the depths of Dang Mountain.
"Chase!"
Qing Song and Hei Song noticed Bai Xiu Nu's movement immediately. Qing Song shouted and, together with Hei Song, gave chase.
Above a dark forest, Bai Xiu Nu drifted down gently, landing in a clearing.
Then, two beams of light, one gray and one black, flashed in, revealing Qing Song and Hei Song.
"Fellow Daoist Xiu Nu, how have you been?..."
Qing Song laughed heartily, his eyes filled with a sinister light as he scrutinized the simply dressed Bai Xiu Nu.
"Qing Song... enough nonsense. Want to enter the Fire Dragon Cave and retrieve the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit? It won't be that easy!"
Bai Xiunü said coldly.
Qingsong chuckled, completely unconcerned, and instead glanced at Long Lin beside him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xiunü, we are kindred spirits, why are you so attached to this mortal? How about we make a deal?"
"What deal?"
Long Lin asked. Although he was now a mortal, after practicing the Power Scripture, he discovered that mortals could also defeat ghosts and gods, and his former fear of this monster vanished.
"Boy... to us, you are nothing but a pile of flesh and blood. When did it become your place to speak?"
Black Pine Daoist roared.
Long Lin stood with his arms crossed. "You must be the Black Pine Daoist. I wonder if your four clones are still around?"
The Black Pine Daoist was momentarily speechless, then said angrily, "Today, you brat, I'll make you pay for my clones!"
"Fellow Daoist Bai, since this kid is already a pile of bones, why don't we become allies and go together to obtain the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit? Once we obtain the Sacred Fruit, I will help you overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, and from then on, you can dominate this Dang Mountain, and together with your immortal companions, cultivate the supreme secrets, how about that?"
The Green Pine Daoist ignored the quarrel between the Black Pine and Long Lin, and still smiled as he spoke to Bai Xiu Nu.
Bai Xiunü's face darkened. "Wishful thinking! Show me what you've got!"
Qingsong Daoist's smile gradually turned cold. "Alright, since that's the case... then don't blame me, Qingsong, for disregarding our camaraderie!"
"Haha..."
Heishong Daoist laughed wildly and said to Qingsong, "I'll deal with this brat first. Senior brother, please show some mercy. We'll capture Bai Xiunü alive in a bit..."
"Of course. Since we can't cultivate together, using her as a furnace isn't bad either. It would be a pity to kill her like this."
Qingsong nodded and smiled.
"Song Demon... enough nonsense, take this!"
Bai Xiunü shouted coldly, her hands forming a hand seal in front of her chest. She shouted, "Hurry!"
A flock of fire crows made of white light screeched and flew towards Qingsong Daoist.
"Fellow Daoist Bai's Fire Crow Life and Death Seal technique has increased quite a bit!"
Qingsong Daoist was slightly taken aback when he saw the fire crows were so powerful that they had already set the dry grass on the ground ablaze. He then drew his long sword from his back and pointed it forward.
A chilling wind swirled through the woods, making the already frigid winter night even colder. The rising steam instantly solidified into a massive, greyish-white wall of ice before him.
The fire crows, though capable of flight, seemed unable to overcome the ice wall, crashing and falling to the ground.
"Life and death peck!"
Bai Xiu Nu cried out, her beautiful eyes widening, her waist twisting slightly as she leaned forward.
The fallen fire crows seemed to come alive again, flying back to the ice wall. With a series of pecking sounds, dozens of holes appeared in the ice, rapidly melting under the flames.
Qing Song Dao Ren coldly snorted, his sword flashing, dozens of ice spikes piercing through the holes, instantly pinning the fire crows to the ice wall.
On the other side, Long Lin and Hei Song Dao Ren had also begun their battle.
However, the situation was not as tense as with Bai Xiu Nu and Qing Song Dao Ren. Long Lin unceremoniously fired all eight bullets from his bayonet.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Amidst the deafening roar and thick smoke,
Hei Song's body was riddled with eight bloody holes, and he was thrown more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters) by the impact of the bullets.
"What kind of magic weapon is this?" Hei
Song looked at his bleeding wounds with astonishment. However, he still used his magic power to heal his wounds.
Long Lin was also somewhat surprised; Hei Song was indeed more powerful than he had imagined. Compared to him, his original four clones were simply no match.
"Roar!"
Taking advantage of Hei Song's healing, Long Lin charged forward like a tiger, his crimson true energy fist slamming into Hei Song's shoulder.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to have some skills!"
Hei Song said coldly, a chilling smile flashing across his face. Just as Long Lin's fist struck him, his body suddenly vanished into thin air.
Long Lin missed his attack and hurriedly retreated to guard. Although his eyesight and hearing were much better than before, he still couldn't see through invisibility.
However, he had a special way of sensing things: the true energy within his body.
A black wind suddenly surged from the ground, instantly transforming into a giant black python in mid-air, its gaping maw spewing a foul stench, poised to swallow Long Lin whole.
"Heh!"
Long Lin roared, thrusting his spear-like staff straight forward, a stream of crimson true energy shooting directly into the python's mouth.
A muffled boom followed by a scream from the Black Pine Daoist.
The python vanished, the black wind dissipated, and the Black Pine Daoist, disheveled and blood trickling from his mouth, staggered back to the scene.
"Black Pine, why... aren't you begging for mercy?"
Long Lin took a step closer, coldly asking.
The Black Pine Daoist grunted, glaring venomously at Long Lin, and said hatefully, "Boy, I never expected a mortal like you to possess such strength! But don't get too cocky!"
He steadied himself, thrusting his hands forward, instantly sending a long, foul-smelling gust of wind straight towards Long Lin.
Without hesitation, Long Lin threw another punch. This punch incorporated his inner true energy and the hidden power from his inner strength cultivation. The whistling wind of the punch tore through the air, emitting a sharp cry.
However, upon unleashing this punch, Long Lin felt a chill, for it seemed to have no effect on the black wind.
The black wind immediately split into two upon encountering the punch, instantly enveloping Long Lin from the left and right.
Long Lin suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented; the black wind reeked of a foul stench, and seemed to contain countless eyes, making him unable to discern directions.
"Damn it..."
Long Lin cursed, abruptly turning around. He activated his inner power technique, and suddenly a deafening dragon's roar echoed from within the black wind. A huge, crimson, five-clawed dragon soared into the air, carrying the black wind high into the sky.
Black Pine Daoist gasped, a hint of fear finally appearing in his eyes.
In the sky, the dragon swung its tail, dark clouds rolled, and lightning flashed and thunder roared in an instant. In the moment of Black Pine Daoist's astonishment, the crimson dragon had already pounced down, its sharp claws already gripping his body.
"Ah..."
Black Pine Daoist screamed in agony as his body was instantly torn in two by the dragon. A ball of black light flew from his remains, hurtling rapidly down the mountain.
The crimson dragon swung its massive tail, soaring into the air with lightning speed, creating dozens of blue lightning bolts amidst the clouds.
"Lord Dragon, spare me!"
The blue lightning had caught up with the black light, forcing it into a corner. Just then, Black Pine Daoist's pleading voice came from within the black light.
"Roar..."
The crimson dragon roared, its five claws reaching forward. A blue arc of electricity as thick as an arm struck the black light, and amidst Black Pine Daoist's desperate cry, the black light vanished into nothingness.
"Damn!"
Dragon Forest Crimson Dragon reverted to its true form, feeling unsteady on its feet, and gasped for breath.
"Junior Brother!"
At this moment, Daoist Qingsong was locked in fierce combat with Bai Xiu Nu. His magical power was far superior to Bai Xiu Nu's, and although she fought with gritted teeth, she could only parry but not retaliate. Suddenly, he saw Heishong's primordial spirit being destroyed by Long Lin, and he cried out in alarm.
"Boy... prepare to die!"
Daoist Qingsong raised his hand and unleashed dozens of large, grayish-white snakes, attacking Bai Xiu Nu. At the same time, he vanished into thin air and struck Long Lin with a palm.
"Boom!"
Long Lin reacted quickly, closing in two feet and meeting the attack with both fists. The crimson true energy collided with the grayish-white magical power, creating a deafening roar.
Daoist Qingsong's magical power was far superior. Long Lin had just used the Intent Transformation Dragon Technique, greatly depleting his internal energy. He groaned and was sent flying by Qingsong's palm, immediately spitting out blood.
"Husband!"
Bai Xiu Nu's face paled. She mustered all her strength, ignoring the two giant gray snakes attacking from behind, and floated towards Long Lin through the air.
Long Lin, having just withstood a powerful blow, felt as if his internal organs were shifting. He coughed up three mouthfuls of blood, struggling to his feet, his sword-like eyes fixed fiercely on Qing Song.
"Husband, are you alright?"
Bai Xiu Nu, supporting Long Lin, asked anxiously.
Long Lin wiped the blood from his mouth, looking at Bai Xiu Nu with deep emotion. No woman in all these years had truly cared for him like this. Her eyes revealed her absolute sincerity.
"Boy… you survived my blow? Take another!"
Qing Song's eyes gleamed with ruthless cruelty. He stretched out a single palm, unleashing a gray-white light that transformed into a gigantic hand, more than half a person's height, striking towards Long Lin and Bai Xiu Nu.
"Azure Sky White Sun Palm!"
Bai Xiu Nu exclaimed, shoving Long Lin aside and taking the blow with her back.
With a cold laugh from Qing Song, Bai Xiu Nu coughed up blood, her face turning deathly pale. Long Lin was blasted more than two zhang away by the violent force of that palm strike, instantly feeling dizzy and fainting.
"Dragon Horse True Form!" Bai
Xiu Nu steadied herself, abruptly turning around to cast a resolute glance at Long Lin. She crossed her arms and raised them, letting out a long shout, her entire body suddenly emitting a blinding white light. The Azure Sky White Sun Palm, the signature palm technique of Qing Song, was incredibly powerful. Bai Xiu Nu, knowing she was no match, had desperately blocked it for Long Lin, already severely injured in the process. Now, if she didn't fight with all her might, both of them would likely die here. "Husband… in this world, only you are good to me. I, Bai Xiu Nu, am worth it!" Bai Xiu Nu thought to herself, giving Long Lin a heartbreaking look before finally unleashing her final killing move—the Dragon Horse True Form. Demons are powerful because they possess formidable demonic bodies. Bai Xiu Nu, having merged with Long Lin, absorbed the dragon energy within him, forging a dragon-horse demon body even more powerful than her original white horse demon form. She was confident she could rival Qing Song Dao Ren. "Roar..." As the white light dissipated, a magnificent divine creature appeared where Bai Xiu Nu had stood. It had a dragon's head, a horse's body, wings sprouting from its ribs, and its hooves, instead of horse hooves, had transformed into dragon claws. It raised its head and neighed, instantly darkening the sky and causing sand and stones to fly. "How could this be?" Qing Song's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Bai Xiu Nu to be able to block this blow for Long Lin, and even sacrifice her true essence to release her true form against him. He knew Bai Xiu Nu's original true form was a white horse, but he didn't know why it had now become a legendary celestial dragon-horse. He was confident he could withstand it in its original form, but this dragon-horse made him tremble with fear. Just then, the dragon-horse let out another long neigh, white clouds rose around it, its wings flapped, and its enormous body flew towards Qing Song, swift as lightning and furious as thunder. "Demon's actions are unrestrained!" Qingsong roared, his entire body suddenly shimmering with a grayish-white light. His body began to rapidly grow larger, and from his contorted face, his clothes suddenly ripped apart, from which emerged dry, thorny tendrils that coalesced into a massive force, enveloping the direction from which the dragon-horse was flying. Two beams of white light shot from the dragon-horse's eyes, and its mouth opened, spewing forth a torrent of scorching flames that instantly incinerated the nearest tendrils. Qingsong let out a sharp cry, and the tendrils continued to sprout, their sharp spikes suddenly flying out automatically, transforming into a rain of arrows that shot towards the dragon-horse. The dragon-horse flapped its wings, creating a whirlwind in mid-air that dispersed most of the gleaming gray spikes, though a few still pierced the soft area between its neck and shoulder. Just then, the dragon-horse flew to Qingsong's side, its claws outstretched, tearing off one of his arms before he could dodge. "Roar..." Dragon Horse's eyes flashed with rage. It slammed its double fans together and lunged at the fallen Green Pine Daoist. "Beast!" Green Pine Daoist, his left arm severed, cursed in agony, his hair disheveled. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, a dark green light flashing in his eyes. "Since that's the case, let's die together!" As his eyes gleamed green, his entire body rapidly transformed. The tendrils that had been there coiled back, piercing his body with an eerie force. In an instant, he transformed into an ancient pine tree over ten zhang tall, as thick as two people could hug. Only one of the pine's thick branches was broken, revealing crimson blood. The remaining leaves instantly transformed into countless tentacles, swiftly coiling around Dragon Horse's body. Forced into a corner, Green Pine Daoist also unleashed his demonic form to fight Dragon Horse. Dragon Horse used its four claws to tear off the tendrils one by one. The dragon-horse's true form, a fusion of the white horse's demonic body and dragon energy, already possessed immortal power. How could the green pine's demonic body possibly withstand it? In just a few rounds, countless branches that had been fluttering about were broken and riddled with wounds. "Bai Xiu Nu... do you really want to fight to the death?" The green pine Taoist's voice echoed from within the ancient pine. "Hmph... a mutual destruction is impossible, you demon, today is your death day!" Bai Xiu Nu's voice also came from within the dragon-horse. "Fine... fine..." the green pine Taoist said hatefully. Before the words were finished, a branch had already swiftly pierced towards the dragon-horse lying to the side. "Demon... you dare!" Bai Xiu Nu roared. The dragon-horse's four claws flew up, and it spat out a fireball, which collided with the vine. With a loud bang, the vine was blasted away by the fireball. But at this moment, the green pine Taoist's sinister laughter rang out. "Bai Xiu Nu... You're a demon, yet you've fallen for a mortal and ruined yourself... Hahaha..." Amidst the laughter, Bai Xiu Nu suddenly let out a muffled groan, and her dragon-horse form trembled, plummeting from mid-air. It turned out that a giant vine had pierced her wing. Blood dripped down, the dragon-horse neighed, spewing forth balls of flames that scorched the ancient pine. The ancient pine, seemingly unfazed by the flames, amidst the Qing Song Dao Ren's maniacal laughter, the vine instantly thickened, widening the dragon-horse's wound, and lifted high, forcing the dragon-horse to fly in the direction the vine swung. "Roar..." The dragon-horse cried out in pain, its four claws thrashing but unable to grasp the vine, and the fireballs in its mouth lost their aim, rolling down the mountain. On the ancient pine, the flames roared, crackling loudly.

This mutually destructive fighting style could only be employed by the treacherous and ruthless Qingsong Daoist.
In the midst of the stalemate, the dragon-horse suddenly disregarded the wounds on its wings and actually moved towards the ancient pine tree along its branches. The wounds rubbed against the branches, staining the branches and the sand and gravel red.
"Whoosh..."
A huge fireball shot out, heading straight for the center of the ancient pine tree's crown.
"No..."
Qingsong Daoist finally cried out in terror, but it was too late; the fireball had already struck the crown. Instantly, a shrill scream and furious curses came from within the ancient pine tree.
The center of the crown was where Qingsong Daoist's demonic spirit resided. Once struck by the fire and lightning, he could never regain his human form, meaning he would lose all his demonic power. From then on, he would be imprisoned within this burned tree trunk, never to emerge again.
"Ah... Bai Xiunu, I will make you follow in my footsteps!"
A gray-white light flickered on the ancient pine tree, faintly outlining Qingsong Daoist's tragic and ferocious face.
Suddenly, the vine embedded in the dragon-horse's wing reversed direction, piercing its abdomen!
The dragon-horse let out a mournful neigh, its claws tearing the vine from the ancient pine tree, before it plummeted to the ground.
The struggle deep within Mount Dang finally subsided. When Long Lin groggily awoke, he found a charred pine tree standing atop the mountain, which had been leveled by the immense force of the attack.
Not far from this pine tree, a gigantic monster with a dragon's head and a horse's body lay prone, its bright, enormous eyes staring at him. It seemed injured; a large, withered branch was embedded in its scale-covered wing, and blood had stained the ground beneath it.
"Xiu Nu..."
Long Lin searched everywhere but couldn't find Bai Xiu Nu. A chill ran through him. He struggled to his feet and called out loudly.
The distant mountains stood majestically; where was she?
Long Lin shook his head. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, or what had happened here. He had no idea. A bad feeling told him that Bai Xiu Nu might have already been captured by Qing Song.
His head still throbbed, and he realized he had to leave and return to the Fire Dragon Cave. Qing Song was ruthless; if even Bai Xiu Nu couldn't handle this evil Taoist, Liu Bang and the others would likely meet a tragic end.
"Woo..."
Just as Long Lin turned to head down the mountain, the dragon-horse let out a low, mournful cry.
Long Lin then carefully examined the monster, five zhang long with a wingspan of ten zhang, resembling both a dragon and a horse. It was looking at him with gentle eyes.
"Are you calling me? But I have something to do and must leave quickly!"
Long Lin smiled slightly and turned to leave.
The dragon-horse let out another low, mournful cry.
Two pale blue tears streamed from its giant eyes.
"You're crying?"
Long Lin had to look at the dragon-horse directly; he hadn't expected it to shed tears, and those tearful eyes seemed so familiar. Having endured so much gunfire, Long Lin's heart was hardened beyond measure, yet this time he strangely felt a softening within him.
The enormous dragon head nodded to Long Lin, sand and dust clinging to its golden whiskers. It flapped its uninjured wing and shifted forward slightly.
"You mean, if I save you, you can take me away?"
Long Lin asked, stroking his chin. He suddenly realized this monster also had feelings, and was far from the kind of creature that would kill anyone it saw; at least, there was no trace of ferocity in its eyes now.
The dragon horse nodded again.
"Alright... I'll help you remove this damned branch!"
Long Lin stepped forward, drawing a dagger from his leg.
The branch, from some unknown tree, was harder than a bull's horn. Long Lin carefully trimmed one side, finally pulling the branch out of the wing's wound, and sprinkled his own medicine on it.
However, to Long Lin's surprise, this dragon horse possessed an extremely strong self-healing ability; the wound healed rapidly in a faint white light. He was certain this wasn't the effect of the wound medicine.
"Hopefully, it's not a case of the foolish woman saving the wolf!"
Long Lin licked his slightly chapped lips, thinking to himself. He casually held the dagger, but was actually constantly on guard.
"Roar...woof..."
The dragon horse finally stood up. Its strong, white body possessed excellent curves.
Long Lin had never seen such a strange and beautiful monster, a legendary combination of a dragon and a white horse.
"Your wound is healed? So quickly?"
Long Lin took a few steps back, his feet still unsteady and trembling. Because the dragon horse took a small step forward, the ground began to tremble.
"Woof..."
The dragon horse lowered its head, looking at Long Lin, and let out a gentle growl.
For some reason, Long Lin felt that the dragon horse was smiling at him.
The dragon horse let out a soft groan, slightly flapped its huge wings, swung its head back, and slowly pawed the ground twice with its right hind paw.
Long Lin had ridden horses before and knew their nature well; this dragon horse was actually gesturing for him to ride on its back.
"Are you telling me to get on?"
Long Lin asked, but then gave a wry smile, because this dragon-horse was over three zhang tall when it stood up, and Long Lin didn't have the ability to jump over the ten-meter gap.
The dragon-horse blinked, then knelt down on all fours.
"What a sensible fellow!"
Long Lin laughed, not liking the dragon-horse's intelligence. Without hesitation, he stepped onto the dragon-horse's wings and sat steadily on its back.
"Woo... hoo..." The dragon-
horse groaned softly, slowly standing up, as if saying it was ready to go. It folded its wings and took a few quick steps forward, then suddenly spread its wings and soared into the air.
"Westward, to the Fire Dragon Cave, do you know it?"
Long Lin pointed ahead and shouted loudly! He knew that this monster dragon-horse could understand him.
The dragon-horse let out a deep cry, nodded its huge head, and flew westward.
It didn't fly very fast, but it was very stable. Long Lin only felt slight turbulence, and apart from the whooshing sound of the wind in his ears, it was similar to riding a passenger plane.
"Thank you, Dragon Horse!"
Long Lin patted Dragon Horse's back and said loudly.
Dragon Horse responded with a clear, high-pitched voice, seemingly excited as well.
"Sigh, it's just that you can't speak, otherwise I would know how Xiu Nu is doing now!"
Long Lin sighed inwardly, gazing at the rapidly passing mountains. In the distance, he could already see a white, dragon-like waterfall in front of the Fire Dragon Cave.
"Fourth Brother, what kind of monster is that?"
Liu Bang looked up, recognized Long Lin, and shouted. He had already heard Dragon Horse's neigh and had led Chang Tianba, Ying Tong, and the others, fully armed, out of the Fire Dragon Cave. They were now gathered at the cave entrance, their mouths agape in astonishment.
"I don't know either. I saved it, and it brought me back!"
Long Lin laughed heartily, and after Dragon Horse landed steadily, he calmly jumped off its back.
"The people from Green Pine Village haven't come?"
Long Lin looked around Fire Dragon Village, seeing no signs of fighting, and asked.
Liu Bang shook his head, completely bewildered. "No, are the people from Green Pine Village coming?"
Long Lin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Is Feng Yun here?"
"I was wondering the same thing, Master's wife is missing!"
Chang Tianba said.
Long Lin's heart sank, and he inwardly cried out in alarm. He looked at the dragon horse, walked forward, and patted its wings. "Dragon horse, thank you for bringing me back! You can go now!"
"Ooh...woof..."
The dragon horse let out a neigh, shifted its position, and shook its massive head.
"Master, you're amazing! This monster doesn't seem to want to leave; it wants to follow you!"
Chang Tianba exclaimed.
"Alright! Since you're willing to stay, then I won't let you go!"
Long Lin thought for a moment and said. With this dragon horse around, the strength of Fire Dragon Village would be immeasurably greater. He glanced at the five hundred brothers of Fire Dragon Stronghold who had already assembled, and said to Liu Bang, "Second Brother, Feng Yun may have been captured by the Green Pine Demon! I must go and rescue her! I have already killed the Black Pine Demon, now is the perfect time to attack Green Pine Stronghold!"
"Really? Then let's set off right away! By the way, we must inform White Horse Stronghold and the other allied caves!"
Liu Bang was taken aback; Feng Yun being captured by Green Pine Stronghold was no small matter, and he immediately said.
"Then I will go ahead with Dragon Horse and entangle Green Pine there, and you can take the opportunity to attack the stronghold!"
Long Lin thought for a moment and then mounted Dragon Horse.

Chapter 45 Unifying Dangshan
Update Time: 5-16 8:43:09 Words: 3665

Green Pine Stronghold. Chaos reigned.
"Monsters..."
"Demons..."
"Quickly report to the Stronghold Chief!"
"The First and Second Stronghold Chiefs are not here!"
Long Lin rode his huge Dragon Horse, circling above Green Pine Stronghold. The dragon horse occasionally spewed out two breaths of flame, burning down the arrow towers in the village one by one.
The arrows were like wisps of grass to the dragon horse, utterly harmless. Long Lin, meanwhile, sat calmly on the dragon horse's back, practicing moving target shooting.
At this time, the Fire Dragon Village and White Horse Village hadn't yet attacked, but Green Pine Village had been completely turned upside down by Long Lin and the dragon horse.
After shooting and killing several Green Pine Village leaders who were still directing the resistance, Long Lin patted the dragon horse's thick back and slowly landed in the center of the village.
"Get the Green Pine Demon out here right now!"
Long Lin's tiger-like eyes swept over the dozens of trembling henchmen holding knives and arrows, and he shouted fiercely, gathering his inner energy.
The henchmen were all terrified, their faces filled with fear, but they looked at each other, none of them stepping forward to answer.
"Do I have to say it a second time?"
Long Lin's voice rose eight octaves, and immediately some of them knelt on the ground.
"Reporting to the immortal, neither the Green Pine Chief nor the Black Pine Chief is in the village. We don't know where they've gone!"
Finally, a henchman who had just run up said tremblingly.
"What?"
Long Lin's eyes widened, and he raised his rifle bayonet, aiming it at him.
The henchman immediately trembled, fell to his knees in fear, and begged for mercy.
Bang!
A splatter of blood appeared on his forehead, and he fell to the ground without uttering a sound.
Long Lin raised his rifle and turned to the others, who immediately turned pale.
"Go find them! To tell you the truth, your Black Pine Chief has already been killed by me. Whoever finds that evil Taoist Green Pine will be spared!"
Long Lin threw down these words harshly, turned around, and mounted his dragon horse.
The dragon horse neighed and took flight again, circling above Green Pine Village. Anyone who tried to escape down the mountain was dealt with without hesitation, either with a single shot or by the dragon horse's sharp claws.
In the distance, Liu Bang had already joined forces with the White Horse Village and was marching rapidly towards Green Pine Village.
An hour passed, and when Liu Bang's main force arrived, the people of Qingsong Village still hadn't found Qingsong Daoist.
Long Lin's face turned grim, his heart sinking. Had Qingsong Daoist captured Bai Xiunü and not returned to Qingsong Village? His goal was the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit in the Fire Dragon Cave, but if he entered the Fire Dragon Cave, Liu Bang and the others would surely discover him.
Where had he hidden? He had no reason to let Qingsong Village, which he had cultivated for so many years, be destroyed like this!
"Second Brother, make them lay down their weapons. Those who want to live should join Fire Dragon Village, and those who don't should be sent on their way!"
Although Long Lin had his doubts, he couldn't kill all the more than two thousand people in the village; recruiting them was the best solution. With Qingsong missing and Heisong dead, their chances of turning against them were slim.
Sure enough, except for a few loyal followers of Qingsong and Heisong, most of them submitted to Fire Dragon Village.
Just as they were organizing the prisoners and loading Qingsong Village's money, grain, and women, Long Lin suddenly thought of the charred ancient tree. He glanced at his dragon-horse again, seemingly understanding something.
"You, you, come here!"
Long Lin pointed at two of the more astute henchmen of Qingsong Village and asked, "Is Qingsong Daoist a demon?"
The two shook their heads.
Seeing Long Lin ask, the others also said they didn't know Qingsong Daoist was a demon, but they all knew he was very powerful, able to summon wind and rain, and kill without a trace.
Just then, Long Lin's dragon-horse suddenly neighed and carried him eastward.
"Dragon-horse, what are you doing?"
Long Lin quickly sat up and asked.
The dragon-horse shook its head, let out a low neigh, grabbed a pine tree halfway up the mountain with one of its claws, uprooted it, and threw it into the distance.
"You mean you're taking me to find Qingsong Daoist?"
Long Lin asked hesitantly.
The dragon-horse nodded and neighed again.
"Good! Go quickly."
Long Lin was overjoyed and patted the dragon-horse's back.
The dragon-horse neighed, its broad wings flapping as it headed east, soon carrying Long Lin to the place where he had fought with Qing Song and Hei Song Dao Ren.
"Here...you said Qing Song Dao Ren is here?"
Long Lin asked, surprised.
The dragon-horse nodded, slowly walking towards the charred, withered tree, pointing with its wings.
Long Lin immediately understood, his heart leaping with joy. He eagerly asked, "This is that Qing Song Dao Ren, did you kill him?"
The dragon-horse nodded again, letting out a cry.
"Good dragon-horse!" Long Lin exclaimed joyfully, jumping off its back and excitedly asking, "Then Bai Xiu Nu, that woman, where did she go?"
Long Lin gestured carefully, pretending to be a woman so the dragon-horse wouldn't understand.
Watching Long Lin's excited gestures, the dragon-horse's enormous dragon eyes slowly shed two pale blue tears, as if deeply saddened.
Long Lin froze, standing there, biting his lip. Suddenly, he asked, "Longma, where is her body?"
Longma raised its head and let out a loud cry, but no longer looked at Long Lin. It then slowly turned and strode away.
Long Lin's heart sank, and he hurriedly followed.
The cliff was bottomless, dark clouds obscuring its base.
"Longma, did she really fall down there?"
Long Lin sat on the edge of the cliff, asking weakly.
The dragon horse let out a low growl and nodded.
Long Lin sat for a long time, gazing hopelessly at the bottomless abyss below, then suddenly stood up and charged towards the charred, withered tree.
He kicked, stomped, smashed, struck, and stabbed!
Until the withered tree crashed down, Long Lin used all his strength to sit down on the ground.
"Ooh...woo..."
The dragon horse let out a suppressed neigh, its massive head lowering, its pale blue dragon eyes staring at Long Lin for a long time before slowly using its dragon teeth to help him to his feet.
"Let's go...let's go back!"
Long Lin agreed, glancing back at the withered tree he had already stripped of its bark, then leaping onto the dragon horse.
At this time, Qing Song Village had been completely captured by Liu Bang and his men. Seeing the situation was dire, the bandits on the remaining two hilltops either abandoned their villages and fled, or sought refuge with Huo Long Village.
"Brother Long, the girls of Baima Village have already discussed it and decided to rename it Fire Dragon Village. However, since I haven't seen Chief Bai, I haven't agreed yet,"
Liu Bang said to Long Lin.
Long Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Very well, Chief Bai had some business to attend to and left Baima Village, entrusting it to me. Since they are willing to join Fire Dragon Village, let's grant their request!"
With the merger of Qingsong Village and Baima Village into Fire Dragon Village, the number of people in Fire Dragon Village almost increased sixfold, now exceeding three thousand. It had become the largest village in Dangshan.
The alliance of Qingsong Village also collapsed due to the deaths of Qingsong Daoist and Heisong Daoist. Some smaller villages simply submitted to Fire Dragon Village, while others followed Tianhong Village.
However, Long Lin and Liu Bang didn't take Tianhong Village seriously at all, because they had already received news that Tianhong Village's powerful chieftain, Tianhong, had been killed by Qingsong Daoist.
"Kill! Raze Tianhong Village to the ground!"
Long Lin and Liu Bang exchanged a glance and immediately proposed this idea.
The saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain," and Liu Bang, gritting his teeth, immediately led his troops to attack Tianhong Village.
Without its former leader, Tianhong Village was now a disorganized mess, offering little effective resistance before Liu Bang stormed in.
"Brothers, look! The one riding the dragon horse in the sky is my master, Long Lin! He killed Qingsong and Heisong, the evil sorcerers, avenging the Tianhong Village chief! Beside me is Liu Gong, the leader of Huolong Village..."
Chang Tianba shouted wildly, wielding his Heaven-Piercing Spear to kill the resisting henchmen, trying to demoralize them.
Eagle Eye was even more ruthless, wielding two large-caliber pistols from the Long family, firing as he charged, each shot hitting its mark, leaving countless bandits dead.
Liu Bang, his hand on the Soul-Separating Sword, sat steadily on his horse, directing his men in a powerful assault on Tianhong Village.
"Haha... In less than three days, our Fire Dragon Stronghold will have unified Dangshan!"
Long Lin shouted from his horse, aiming at a henchman who attacked Chang Tianba from behind, and pulled the trigger of his rifle bayonet. The gun fired, and the henchman turned around in disbelief, glanced at Long Lin, and died with hatred.
"Yes... It's truly exhilarating! I never expected it to be so easy! It's all thanks to Fourth Brother's divine beast!"
Liu Bang brandished his Soul-Separating Sword, took out his first-generation Long Clan pistol, and began practicing shooting.
At this moment, a series of booming sounds rang out in the distance; Fire Dragon Stronghold members had ignited thunderclap bombs.
"Hmm, the Dragon Horse deserves much credit this time!"
Long Lin laughed, affectionately patting the Dragon Horse's back.
Meanwhile, some members of Tianhong Stronghold had already begun to surrender. One person started, and more and more Tianhong Stronghold bandits begged for mercy.
Fire Dragon Stronghold, naturally, wasn't afraid of numbers; they accepted them all, sparing no one who resisted and sparing no one who surrendered—a typical case of "those who submit prosper, those who oppose perish."
Ten days later.
As night fell, torches, like dragons, illuminated most of the sky above Dangshan.
In the newly leveled square in front of the stronghold, over four thousand men from the entire stronghold gathered. Large tables were set out in a row, laden with fine wine and food, and Liu Bang and Long Lin began a grand feast for their troops.
Of course, two days before the feast, the stronghold had distributed most of the wealth plundered from other strongholds to these bandits.
This tactic worked; those who had initially surrendered but secretly rebelled had all changed their minds and wholeheartedly followed Liu Bang and Long Lin. With morale high, the cause prospered.
Today, the four thousand men of the Dangshan Fire Dragon Stronghold had wiped out the two thousand government troops sent to suppress the bandits and forced the Dangshan magistrate to sign a guarantee that he would not invade the Dangshan Fire Dragon Stronghold again.
The acquisition of this written agreement was, of course, despicable. It was obtained when Long Lin, the current county magistrate, stripped his concubine naked in front of him, intending to force himself on her; only then did the magistrate of Dang County submit.
With their cause secured, Liu Bang and Long Lin, now wealthy and powerful, naturally wouldn't be stingy with their subordinates. The former bandits, having never seen such a righteous leader, were all completely convinced and willing to serve the Fire Dragon Stronghold.
After several rounds of drinks, someone suddenly came to report that the head of Teng Family Manor, his wife, and their daughter had come to offer their congratulations.
Liu Bang wasn't surprised, but Long Lin was secretly astonished. He hadn't expected that the so-called head of manor's wife was none other than the Azure Feather Palace Master he had seen in the cave inside the Eagle Stone.
"Brother Long, do you still remember your little sister?"
Teng Lin'er was wearing a tight-fitting deerskin hunting outfit today, which accentuated her mature, peach-like figure, truly alluring to all the men's eyes. She walked gracefully up to Long Lin, her large, watery eyes gazing at him with tender affection.
"Of course I remember! Sister Teng Lin looks so beautiful today!"
Long Lin chuckled, his eyes lingering on Madam Teng, wondering why his inner energy didn't fluctuate when he encountered her.
"Brother Long, thank you! You saved my whole family!"
Teng Lin raised her cup, a blush creeping onto her face, her attire revealing a wild yet tender side.
"What do you mean?"
Long Lin couldn't help but ask, it seemed he would soon learn Madam Teng's secret.
"I see!"
Long Lin sighed, surprised that the Teng family of three had suffered so much, being manipulated by the Palace Master of Cangyu Palace all these years. But now, at least they were finally free from that nightmare.
"Fairy Qing'er asked me to tell Brother Long that he must enter the inner cave of the Fire Dragon Cave at midnight tomorrow to pick the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit!"
After recounting the strange events that had happened to Teng Hongfei and Madam Teng of Teng Family Village, Teng Lin hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer to Long Lin and whispered.

Chapter 46 Spending the Night Together
Update Time: 5-16 11:42:52 Words: 3541

Behind the Fire Dragon Cave, there is a vast forest.
At this moment, Long Lin stood in a clearing, his entire body radiating crimson light.
True Qi flowed around him like clouds and water, changing shapes according to his will. In Long Lin's mind, a small mouse with flashing brown eyes appeared, and the red true Qi began to change, finally condensing into the shape of a mouse.
"Hoo..."
Long Lin exhaled deeply, his fists swinging with the weight of a boulder suspended in mid-air. The Power Scripture emphasizes the unity of body and mind, using the spirit to forge the body and strengthen blood and qi. Where blood and qi are strong, even
ghosts and gods cannot frighten. Long Lin understood this easily; it was why evil spirits generally dared not provoke those with vigorous blood
and strong constitutions, while those with weak blood and frail bodies were more vulnerable. Forging the body with the spirit was the essence of the Power Scripture, but it was also an indispensable aid to the Intent Scripture, and a fundamental element of the Zodiac Form Intent Technique.
"Transform into a bull!"
Long Lin roared, his crimson true qi flowing and condensing on his skin. In his mind, his bones and meridians began to change. In the blink of an eye, Long Lin vanished from his spot, replaced by a powerful bull with eyes like copper bells and horns like arrows.
"Haha, I never thought mortals could transform!"
Long Lin laughed to himself, the strange sound echoing through the forest.
Just then, a huge shadow appeared not far from him. The dragon-headed, horse-bodied dragon horse, with its pale blue dragon eyes, stared at him.
"Dragon Horse, you've come!"
Long Lin transformed, reverting from a bull back to his original form, nodding and smiling at the dragon horse.
"Hoo..."
the dragon horse groaned softly, as if answering Long Lin's question.
Long Lin smiled and walked forward, intending to leap onto the dragon horse's back and return to Fire Dragon Village. Midnight was the time for him to enter the inner cave of Fire Dragon Cave to retrieve the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit.
His body was now in excellent condition; not only could he withstand the immense pressure of his illusory form transformation, but his strength and consciousness had also greatly increased. Long Lin hadn't yet tested the extent of his strength, but he could clearly see the shape of an ant ten feet away and hear its buzzing.
"Woo..."
the dragon horse shook its head, signaling Long Lin not to approach.
"What's wrong? Dragon Horse..."
Long Lin was completely bewildered, not knowing what was happening.
Suddenly, the dragon horse folded its wings, and a beam of pale blue light emanated from its dragon eyes, enveloping its entire body. A flash of light disappeared in an instant, and the colossal dragon-horse vanished.
"Dragon-horse..."
Long Lin cried out in surprise, looking up at the sky.
"Woo, hoo..."
From the depths of the forest came the dragon-horse's neighing, but the sound had weakened considerably as it galloped towards him through the forest.
The once enormous creature, three zhang tall and five zhang long, had now shrunk to the size of a horse!
"Hoo..."
The dragon-horse whirled to Long Lin's side, its head nuzzling affectionately against his face, letting out a soft hum, seemingly quite pleased with itself.
"Good, good... I was just worried you were too big to stay with for long!"
Long Lin laughed, affectionately stroking the dragon-horse's head.
The dragon-horse raised its long whiskers and single horn, its pale blue dragon eyes gazing at Long Lin with a hint of deep amusement. A flash of blue light, and the dragon-horse was gone again.
Instead, on Long Lin's clothes lay a miniature dragon-horse, no bigger than a finger.
This time, Long Lin was truly overjoyed!
"Dragon Horse, from now on you'll always be with me!" Long Lin held the Dragon Horse in his palm, watching it nod, looking small and clever, and said.
The Dragon Horse nodded, its entire body bursting with blue light, transforming into a horse the size of Long Lin and standing beside him.
"Dragon Horse, let's go!"
Long Lin felt a surge of heroic spirit, mounted the horse, and galloped swiftly towards Fire Dragon Village.
After explaining the situation to Liu Bang and the others, Long Lin entered the inner cave of Fire Dragon Village. Although Liu Bang, Chang Tianba, Ying Tong, and others insisted on accompanying Long Lin to explore the inner cave, he refused.
Because Long Lin knew that since even Qing Song Dao Ren hadn't dared to trespass, there must be unknown dangers there, and the fire dragon would probably be very difficult to deal with. Long Lin wouldn't let others risk their lives with him.
Having learned from his previous experience, Long Lin added an extra layer of armor over his bulletproof vest, and also wore a homemade helmet. His physique was now extraordinary, so the weight and thickness were nothing to him.
As for weapons, Long Lin naturally carried his ever-present rifle bayonet and dagger. He also didn't forget to bring a thunderbolt grenade; in his view, if they obtained the Fire Dragon Fruit or were forced to retreat by the fire dragon, he would blow up the inner cave to seal it off, preventing the fire dragon from emerging and harming people. With
everything prepared, Long Lin, holding the Green Wood Token, slowly walked deeper into the inner cave under the glowing green light.
"Awoo...woo..."
A soft groan came from Long Lin's pocket; the Dragon Horse had shrunk and was with him.
Having learned from his previous experience, Long Lin was much faster this time. Before midnight, he saw a sliver of light seeping from the lava lake.
"Dragon Horse, Dragon Horse, do you think we can obtain the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit?"
Long Lin murmured.
The Dragon Horse let out a soft groan, whether in agreement or disagreement, was unclear.
The message Qing'er had brought through Teng Lin hadn't told him how to obtain the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit; who knew what would happen? But Long Lin wasn't afraid.
As Long Lin approached the entrance to the lava lake, his internal energy began to surge erratically once more.
This time, Long Lin was much more cautious than before. He had already wrapped some coarse cloth around the bayonet of his rifle to prevent his palms from sweating and making it difficult to grip the weapon, given the high temperature in the lava lake.
His plan was to have Long Ma take him to an island to pick the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit after he saw it, and then immediately return, trying to avoid conflict with the fire dragon.
A strange, refreshing fragrance wafted over, invigorating Long Lin. He quickly stepped out of the cave and found the already crimson Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit on seven small islands in the middle of the vast lava lake.
"Long Ma..."
Long Lin carefully examined the lava lake but found no trace of the fire dragon. Perhaps the fire dragon was absent; now was the best time to pick the fruit, Long Lin murmured.
A flash of blue light, and Long Ma appeared beside Long Lin.
"Go!"
Long Lin leaped onto his horse, which spread its wings and flew towards the scorching lava lake.
He easily landed on a small island, casually took out his bag, and picked the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit, placing it inside. The horse set Long Lin down, and automatically took flight, circling above the lava lake, wary of Long Lin's surroundings.
Although Long Lin was picking the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit, his entire body radiated crimson true energy, constantly on guard against any external attacks.
Just as Long Lin picked the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit from the first stone platform, suddenly the lava lake erupted like boiling water, with huge splashes of water.
"Woo-hoo!"
The dragon horse let out a fierce cry and flew towards Long Lin. Long Lin leaped onto the horse, and the two of them sped towards the cave entrance on the shore.
"Whoosh..."
A gray shadow flew out of the lava lake, instantly rising into the air, blocking the dragon horse's path.
It was more like a one-horned fire serpent than a fire dragon.
Long Lin tied the bag containing the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit to the back of his dragon horse, raised his rifle bayonet, and aimed it at the fire serpent's crimson eyes.
However, the fire serpent merely blocked his path without immediately attacking. Its pair of crimson serpentine eyes stared intently at him, a threatening look on its face.
The fire serpent was over ten zhang long and more than ten zhang thick. Its enormous head, if opened, could swallow Long Lin and the dragon horse whole.
"Roar..."
The dragon horse reared its head, raised its paws, and neighed. Its entire body burst forth with blue light, instantly growing dozens of times larger. Its massive body floated in mid-air, even larger than the fire serpent.
On the dragon horse's back, a scale automatically detached, protecting Long Lin.
"Roar..."
The fire serpent roared, its mouth opening wide, threatening to spew out a stream of magma.
"Wait... Little Gray!"
A soft, lazy voice suddenly came from behind Long Lin. The fire serpent's eyes flashed, and it closed its mouth.
Long Lin turned around, nearly falling off the dragon horse's back in shock!
Because right where he had just picked the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruit, now stood a woman dressed in a single piece of cloth!
Long Lin wiped his nose, thankfully without a nosebleed, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.
"Since you're here, why leave? Why not stay a little longer?"
The woman's soft, somewhat languid voice rang out again, making Long Lin's heart pound. In a place like this, a woman like this was probably either a demon or a monster, and her intentions were questionable.
Long Lin calmed himself, then narrowed his eyes, fully appreciating her beauty. He coldly asked, "Who are you? What brings you here?"
The woman smiled slightly, her appearance captivating. "Your name is Long Lin, right? Did you kill the Green Pine Demon and the Black Pine Demon?"
Although Long Lin didn't know this woman's background, upon hearing her mention Green Pine and Black Pine, he immediately felt a slight sense of relief. "I am indeed Long Lin. I did kill the Black Pine Demon, but the Green Pine Demon was killed by my dragon horse! Is there anything I can do for you, young lady?"
The woman nodded, her large, clear eyes gently gazing at Long Lin. "That's it! Long Lin... would you be willing to spend the night with me here?"
Long Lin gasped, then suddenly laughed. "Spend the night with me? That would be wonderful, but I have some matters to attend to and cannot stay here!"
"Alright, then go!"
the woman said.
Without hesitation, Long Lin said to his dragon horse, "Go!"
The dragon horse spread its wings to fly, but suddenly had to face a stream of lava spewed by the fiery serpent in front of it.
Boom…
The dragon-horse neighed, spitting out a fireball that collided with the lava flow. In that single exchange, the dragon-horse was sent flying a hundred feet, landing close to the platform where the woman stood.
Long Lin glanced at the woman's grinning face and angrily said, "Witch, what do you want?"
The woman smiled seductively, "If you stay with me for one night, I'll give you all the Fire Dragon Sacred Fruits here!"
"Do you think I'll believe you? After one night, I don't know if I'll still be alive!"
Long Lin laughed, dismissively.
The woman's smile didn't fade, "If I wanted you dead now, why wait until tomorrow?… I just want to tell you a story!"
"Today? Can you do that?"
Long Lin sneered.
The woman sighed softly, her crystalline jade finger pointing to the cave leading to Fire Dragon Village, "Long Lin, look over there!"
"What?"
Long Lin looked over, only to be shocked.
At this moment, the cave there had been sealed off by molten lava.
"Alright... I'll stay with you for the night and listen to your story!"
Long Lin smiled, arms crossed. Since the odds of life and death were in his own hands, he didn't need to choose.
"You should be happy to have such a beautiful woman with you for the night... Isn't that how mortals are?" the woman laughed.
Long Lin had to admit that this woman was even more powerful than a demon. He immediately laughed and said, "Indeed, if I'm sure I'm safe, being able to chat with a beautiful woman is indeed a delightful thing!"
The woman tilted her head, looking at Long Lin coquettishly, and said, "Don't mortals have a saying, 'To die under a peony flower is to die a romantic death'?"
