The night fell, and the mountain was shrouded in darkness.
Under normal circumstances, the nightlife here would have been lively, with restaurants and cafes playing soft and lodious music. There would be luxury cars passing by and the cheerful shouts of people fishing.
But after what happened today, all the wealthy people on the mountain left, and the staff were all cleared out.
Without people, there was no need for lights, hence the current scene.
However, the absence of light didn’t affect Chen Yang at all.
Having entered the Spirit Gathering Realm, such things were trivial to him.
Arriving at the mountain, Chen Yang chose a spot with a broad view, laid out his mat, and lay down on it, waiting quietly for changes in the lake water.
"Tonight, I will confront this water monster."
Chen Yang rested his hands behind his head, feeling quite at ease.
Eagle Brother stood on a nearby tree, also keeping watch over the wide surface of the water.
From ti to ti, it would circle around the lake surface.
...
He had co up around eight o’clock, and the lake surface remained calm. Except for an occasional leap from a couple of big fish, there was no movent.
This quiet situation persisted until around midnight.
Suddenly, there was a disturbance in the lake.
Crash...
The once peaceful water surface began to emit sounds of swirling water.
Upon hearing the noise, Chen Yang imdiately beca alert, sitting up and staring intently at the water surface.
At so point, a large whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake.
And the crashing sound was coming from that whirlpool.
"It really is here."
Chen Yang focused on the whirlpool and involuntarily stood up.
Just as he was about to call Eagle Brother to take a look, thinking the whirlpool was only pulling in water without any other movent, suddenly, there was a loud bang!
A slender black shadow shot out from the water!
Upon seeing the shadow, Chen Yang instinctively thought it was a snake.
But when the figure fully erged from the water, he was both surprised and perplexed!
He saw that the creature had four legs and several spots with healing scars on its body.
Moreover, it had forked horns on its head!
"Jiaolong!!"
Chen Yang imdiately recognized what it was.
It was a Jiaolong!
And it was the sa one he had dealt with alongside Ma Jiantao not long ago.
Upon seeing the Jiaolong, Chen Yang was filled with astonishnt.
Why did it co here? It’s hundreds of kiloters away from where the incident occurred.
Is this a coincidence?
Traversing hundreds of kiloters, of all places, it chose to co here?
While Chen Yang was pondering this, he saw the Jiaolong, which had just erged from the water, glaring at him with blood-red eyes, soaring towards him.
As it flew, Chen Yang confird again.
After a careful inspection, it was almost certain that this was the sa Jiaolong from that day.
Many scars on its body had not yet healed, with very distinctive traits!
"Detestable human! Today I will avenge that day! I will tear you limb from limb!"
The Jiaolong, about twenty to thirty ters from Chen Yang, opened its terrifying mouth and spoke!
Previously facing this creature, Chen Yang might have been uncertain at heart.
But now that he had broken through to the Spirit Gathering Realm, he was not afraid of this Jiaolong at all.
"It really is you, chasing for hundreds of kiloters, you sure know how to hold a grudge." Chen Yang said with a cold smile.
The Jiaolong stared at Chen Yang with resentnt: "Of course, I’m here for revenge, but if you think I ca all this way just for revenge, you’re mistaken."
"This esteed self ca today to retrieve my treasure pearl! If you hand it over, I can give you a swift end. Otherwise, I will make you suffer imnsely before you die!"
The Jiaolong’s tone was filled with murderous intent!
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang understood; it was after the Jiaolong Pearl.
This made sense.
The Jiaolong Pearl was its treasure, which could quickly heal its wounds and also greatly enhance its combat power.
It’s no wonder it pursued all the way here from far away.
"You have quite the courage, getting beaten by Qin Feng like that, and after escaping into the river, you didn’t leave imdiately? You watched find your Jiao Pearl?" Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Nonsense, the Pearl is my greatest reliance, cultivated painstakingly over hundreds of years, how could I abandon it?" the Jiaolong shouted.
"Understood," Chen Yang nodded slightly.
"Detestable human, you have one last chance, will you hand over my treasure pearl?" The Jiaolong impatiently wanted to retrieve the Jiao Pearl, unwilling to waste words with Chen Yang.
Understanding its intentions, Chen Yang also had no interest in further conversation.
"What you want, I cannot give." Chen Yang replied decisively.
"Curses! Then you shall die, and this esteed self will search your residence afterward." The Jiaolong was filled with vengeful anger.
Seeing Chen Yang uncooperative, it suddenly unleashed its aura, opening its bloody maw and lunging at Chen Yang.
The Jiaolong was furious to the utmost, imdiately unleashing its most formidable power.
A few days ago, Chen Yang might not have been able to withstand this move.
But now, Chen Yang was also in the Spirit Gathering Realm, facing it without the slightest pressure.
"Well-tid, I’ve been looking for soone to spar with, and since you’ve co to , I won’t hold back." Chen Yang chuckled and leaped up, boldly standing his ground!
Chen Yang’s response shocked the Jiaolong.
It thought, has this human gone mad? Daring to confront it head-on?
It couldn’t understand, nor did it have ti to ponder.
It laughed inwardly, Chen Yang’s actions were exactly what it wanted! If it dragged on, who knows what mishaps might occur.
The Jiaolong thought this way internally.
But its inner laughter was short-lived, quickly replaced by shock!
It charged straight at Chen Yang, and Chen Yang directly confronted it.
With its calculations, this strike should leave Chen Yang dead or heavily injured.
But to its utter disbelief! After the strike, not only was Chen Yang unscathed, he didn’t even step back!
There was even a faint sense of him overpowering it!
It was utterly shaken.
It quickly understood the situation.
"You... you have also broken through to the Spirit Gathering Realm!" The Jiaolong exclaid in disbelief.
Chen Yang used one hand to channel spiritual energy against the Jiaolong and chuckled: "Only realizing it now? A bit too late, isn’t it?"
With this, Chen Yang shattered the previous confrontation with a palm strike and imdiately launched a proactive attack with a clenched right fist!
The Jiaolong was stunned; it was precisely because it feared delays that it ca swiftly to retrieve the Jiao Pearl.
It never imagined that in this short week, Chen Yang had beco a Spirit Gathering entity.
Bam!
Montarily stunned by shock, before it could react, Chen Yang’s fist was already upon it.
His fist landed firmly on the Jiaolong’s head.
Ow!!
The Jiaolong cried out in pain, plumting from the sky, crashing heavily into the bushes.
"Is this your strength? Too weak, I honestly thought you were stronger." Chen Yang smiled lightly.
He wasn’t overconfident; it was just that the Jiaolong’s strength indeed disappointed him.
He initially wanted to use the Jiaolong for practice, but now it seed this creature wasn’t even worthy of sparring with him.
Ow!!
The Jiaolong roared, struggling up from the bushes, its scarlet eyes now tinged with a hint of fear.
"Noisy human, had I not been injured and without my treasure pearl, you wouldn’t have hard ! Today and that day’s grudges, this esteed self rembers, just wait and see, I will exact my revenge!" The Jiaolong spat fiercely before turning to flee without hesitation.
This scene was unexpected for Chen Yang.
Escaping after just a couple of moves?
