Chapter 90: Forbidden Land

  Long Xing never thought that such a bizarre thing would happen to himself, looking at his rapidly melting arm, Long Xing gritted his teeth and used his right hand holding the knife to completely cut off his entire left arm from the shoulder. The severed arm was melted away in an instant, even the leaves that fell on it were also melted together. It can be seen how terrifying this melting ability is.

  Long Xing's arm was cut off, and he felt a sharp pain, his whole body sweating profusely. He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as he ran up the mountain, still clutching his stone knife, which had transformed into a black blade about one meter long.

  Just now, when Long Xing cut his own arm with the knife, he felt that this black knife was not ordinary sharpness, and it was even sharper than the unknown dagger he had obtained in Japan before. Moreover, when the knife cut through his arm, there was no resistance at all, just like cutting tofu, and his own defense was also unusually abnormal. An ordinary blade would have difficulty moving a single hair, but this knife... was absolutely suspicious.

  It's unclear whether it was a problem with Long Xing's abilities or something else, but ever since he cut off his arm, the speed at which the wounds on his body healed had slowed down. The bleeding from his shoulder had also decreased from gushing out to just occasionally dripping a few drops, and eventually scabbed over after some time. Following that, new flesh began to grow outward from his shoulder, slowly growing bit by bit, but it was still far slower than before. Nevertheless, this recovery speed was still terrifying.

  The dragon went all the way up, enduring untold suffering as it rushed to the top of the mountain. However, after this bloody battle, Long Xing became even more eager for power and urgently needed to increase his strength. He hurried to the top of the mountain in the shortest time possible, hoping to find Yishui early and settle down first. Then he would cultivate his Dragon Dao to the third layer; otherwise, just relying on the opponent's high-level heterodox cultivation would make him suffer enough. From this, it can be seen that if Long Xing wants to avenge himself and kill those 'bastards', he must become stronger.

  Of course, relying solely on physical strength is no way to win against those mid-to-high level ability users. Their attacks seem to completely ignore 'physical' defenses, so Long Xing has decided to grit his teeth and re-master his own abilities before taking down that group of ability users below the mountain.

  Rouru let out a loud roar and pulled out the dagger that had been stabbed into his abdomen, angrily throwing it towards the mountain top. His eyes revealed a sense of unwillingness and humiliation, and he even thought about strangling to death the androgynous person beside him right now. If it weren't for them intervening earlier, he could have sent out the teleportation ability user and the gravity ability user by his side, and the two would have definitely been able to capture that kid. Unfortunately, everyone present had seen Yiru take action, so no one dared to step forward to stop him, after all, he was a man who valued face, and on top of that, he was also the husband of the Pope of the Light Church.

  At the mere mention of the Pope of Light, Rul felt a surge of irritation. That guy's strength was so overwhelming that even the Dark Pope might not be his match, and to make matters worse, he was also a man who enjoyed the company of other men.

  Enduring the pain on his body, Lü Er could only let out a cold hum and led everyone to retreat once again.

  "It seems that this time we still have to rely on that intuitive ability user." Ruru thought with some helplessness, although at first he was somewhat disdainful of the guy's abilities, but who knew that now in these mountains and forests such a big role would occur, it seems that without him, his own people would really be like headless flies.

  Just then, a shout came from behind: "Hey, I'm telling you, Lü Er Gege, can't you slow down? We can't keep up with you..."

  Rour heard the guy's disgusting voice and hastily let the remaining fifteen people run back, even if it meant enduring pain. Rour was unwilling to meet that freak-like person, and even looking at him for a moment made him feel nauseous.

  Upper top, Long Xing finally rushed back to the mountain top and found Yishui's location. At this time, the wounds on his body had fully recovered, leaving only the arm that had grown to his elbow. Of course, his clothes were also corroded by the dark alien ability, with holes everywhere, not a single intact place on his body.

  After finding Yishui, he didn't care about Yishui's incredible eyes. He knew that Yishui would definitely use her ability to investigate everything that happened below the mountain, so after Long Xing went up the mountain, he directly found the stone rod and the booklet placed with Yishui.

  With the stone rod in his remaining right hand, Long Xing exerted a bit of force and crushed the outer layer of stones on the rod, revealing a pitch-black stick made of some unknown material. The stick didn't shrink by twenty centimeters like the stone knife did, but remained its full two-meter length, looking somewhat strange. Although Long Xing couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it, he wielded the stick with a certain air of mastery, as if he had practiced the first layer of techniques from the Divine Dragon Path.

  After putting away the black stick and black knife, Long Xing put away the booklet. At this time, the sky had already turned dark, the sun had basically set, and Long Xing's left hand had grown out a palm, only lacking fingers. He moved his arm around, feeling that it was still as agile as before. Then he glanced at Yi Shui, smiled slightly, and picked up Yi Shui who was about to speak but hesitated, continuing to venture deeper into the mountains.

  Soon, Long Xing found a cave on the opposite side of a small waterfall in the deep mountains, and by this time the sky had completely darkened. He and Yishui walked into the cave, then used the black knife to chop off a stone door that just fit the entrance and brought it back, placing it at the entrance. He instructed Yishui to be careful inside, then waited for his return. After instructing her, Long Xing went out again, wanting to find a way to solve tonight's dinner problem.

  Before long, Long Xing returned from the depths of the mountain, still carrying a wild boar on his back. He then brought out Yi Shui and used his special ability to ignite a fire pit, roasting the cleaned wild boar leg.

  At last, Yishui could no longer hold it in, and she told Long Xing another maddening thing. With tears in her eyes, she spoke of the events that had occurred in the mountain village.

  That group of foreigners, after failing to capture the dragon in their first attempt, angrily proposed that they could no longer wait for the cultivator's appearance at the foot of the mountain. Instead, they wanted to lead more than a hundred abnormals into the mountains to search one by one. Relying on the strength of many abnormals, it was unlikely that they would encounter any danger. Moreover, with everyone advancing into the mountains simultaneously, it would be easier to capture the abnormal who had killed over a dozen of their own kind. They also analyzed that the dragon's ability was not powerful, and at most, three or four people in the group could withstand him.

  So the group of foreigners, under the advice of two Popes and four senior psychics, agreed to search in the mountains, no matter whether it was a cultivator or that psychic guy, they had to find one person.

  However, this group of ruthless and inhumane people actually proposed to wipe out the entire village in the end, just because they didn't want them to leak any news.

  Then a group of people, after finishing their collection, prepared to enter the mountain early the next day. However, tonight, they went from house to house in the entire mountain village, silencing more than thirty households, leaving not one alive.

  Long Xing listened to what Yi said and didn't say a word. He just lowered his head and continued eating the wild boar meat, seemingly thinking about something in his heart.

  The night in the mountain forest seemed a bit scary, Yishui saw Longxing not speaking, she also knew that Longxing's mood was bad, so she didn't continue to disturb Longxing. The occasional bird calls in the mountains made Yishui shiver with fear, but she still silently picked up several fire sticks and walked back into the 'cave', laid out the wild grasses that Longxing had found, and then lay down fully clothed.

  Long then quickly finished eating the wild boar meat, returned to the cave and blocked it with stones to prevent any animals from attacking Yi Shui at night. He himself took out the black stick and black knife and started practicing Shen Long Dao by the small river beside the waterfall.

  He didn't start by practicing the first layer of moves like he did at the beginning, but instead directly started with the second layer's Qi refinement segment. Long Xing clearly knew that whether it was for avenging Su Rui or the over a hundred people in the mountain below, he must have extremely strong martial power, but where would this power come from?

  It must be that he has practiced diligently himself, otherwise everything else is empty talk, so Long Xing quietly started practicing alone.

  The second layer of Shenlong Dao is complex, and it all talks about using the Qi group in the body to increase one's speed and strength. The dragon line has been controlling the Qi group for condensation, because the second layer of Shenlong Dao requires how to gather more Qi to condense, and then condense into a Dan Yuan shape. In other words, as long as he can successfully condense the Qi group in his body into a Dan Yuan shape, Long Xing is considered to have practiced the second layer and can move on to the third layer.

  The aura was gathering and dispersing within Long Xing's body, being condensed with great effort. He wanted to condense the aura into a danwuan shape in the shortest time possible, but no matter how many times he tried, it always felt like something was missing, as if some necessary condition had not been met. After a moment of thought, Long Xing understood that this was because his cultivation was still insufficient. If he wanted to condense the aura, at the very least, there needed to be enough of it; only then could he proceed with condensation. But he had just entered the second layer, and for now, where would he go to absorb so much aura to condense?

  "Condensed? Coagulated?" Long Xing seemed to have suddenly thought of something, but it wasn't that he had come up with a way to solve the Divine Dragon's Cultivation Method. Instead, it made him think of what some members of the Dragon Group had said when they were practicing their special abilities back in the day.

  "If you want to evolve your ability into a high-level ability, first you need to understand your own ability, and secondly, you need to learn how to master it well. This is also the most important point, because only when you perfectly control your ability can you have the potential to evolve into a high-level ability. Even if you can't evolve, your ability will still be one of the strongest at the same level. Moreover, if you control it well, killing someone with a higher-level ability than yours is also easy. However, mastering an ability is extremely difficult, and some ability users spend their entire lives researching and improving theirs, but unfortunately, success stories are rare."

  Almost all the dragon group members who have special abilities have said so, and now Long Xing thinks: control special abilities? He has the assistance of aura to control it, if he uses his aura...

  Long Xing thought of it and did it, he first started analyzing what his heterodyne could evolve into, then analyzed the shortcomings of his heterodyne, and began to realize that he could input the amount of heterodyne into the body of the attacker, but why during the battle with the dark heterodyne, he could easily cut off the connection between the heterodyne and himself, all of which needed to be improved.

  After analyzing, Long Xing decided to use this small river for an experiment. He drew the heterodyne energy to the surface of the water, controlling it so that it wouldn't explode temporarily, while he himself was thinking about how to make it explode within his body. This was very important. Next, he had to consider just how precise his explosive heterodyne could be. And so, Long Xing began his journey of evolving his heterodyne this night.

  He is preparing to raise his strength again in a short period of time, so that he may not have to face the other party again and suffer another defeat.

  In the mountain village at dawn.

  The people of the Dark Church and the Light Church, after discussing it last night, decided to enter the mountain forest early this morning. As for the villagers who had already been killed, they were jointly devoured by the two Popes using their divine powers, making them disappear into thin air without leaving any trace, thus avoiding any information from leaking out, which was a win-win situation for both churches.

  Both sects now have only over 80 people left, originally each sect had brought more than 100 people. Before they even found the cultivator in the mountains, an unknown ability user had already killed more than 30 people from both sides. This made the two sect leaders feel heartbroken, but they could only vent their anger on the villagers, resulting in the extinction of over a hundred villagers, not one left.

  There were 173 people in total, with 89 from the Church of Light and only 84 from the Dark Church. This made the Dark Pope Dira even more disheartened. Looking at Ruru who was still stumbling behind him, his anger couldn't be contained. This guy's performance was too disappointing, if he had sent Dust instead, perhaps this situation wouldn't have occurred.

  The Dark Pope was thinking, when a line of people had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. Two sensory abnormals began to explore the way, and then indicated that it was safe. More than 170 people rushed into the mountains, while the two Popes and their four high-ranking abnormals walked in the back.

  After a whole day of searching, the two Popes arrived at a mountain valley shrouded in mist and cloud. Here, they were only fifty miles away from where Long Xing was cultivating. With Yi Shui's ability, it would have been easy to detect the situation on this side, but the two sensory-type ability users on this side had no way of detecting Long Xing's location.

  Looking at this place, the two Popes felt a little unusual excitement. This should be where the Eastern Cultivators cultivate, right? Thinking of this, the two Popes coughed and suppressed their inner excitement, calling for two people to enter the valley to investigate.

  The two saw the excitement on the Pope's face that couldn't be hidden, and naturally thought this was the place they were looking for. However, they didn't know about the hidden danger here, and walked into the valley with a smug look on their faces. The people around them looked at each other with envy, knowing that these two were the first to enter. Who knows if there would be any strange encounters? Wouldn't it be beneficial for them then? But the crowd didn't dare disobey the Pope's intentions.

  Just as the two entered, a loud shout came from inside, followed by what seemed to be the sound of fighting. After a brief moment, it became eerily quiet again. Suddenly, two figures burst out: "Who dares to trespass on Qingxu's forbidden land?"
