'My body? What just happened. Just a moment ago, It was burning off but now, it feels like nothing has even happened, in fact, My body feels more energized and I feel more powerful!' Zhu Long observed every corner of his body, checking for changes but found none. He was surprised as just a few seconds ago, his entire body got turned into ash but now, It was like nothing ever happened.
Zhu Long started to look at his surroundings and to his surprise, Zhu Long found that he didn't know where he was. Actually, he was nowhere as his entire surrounding was just pitch black. "Where am I, am I actually dead?" Zhu Long had started to question whether he was alive or not.
Suddenly, Zhu long seemed to see a dark room, more corpses on the floor. He looked around and saw that he was in a large bedroom and looking at the size of the furniture, it seemed to be a room of a rich king. But at the moment, there was blood everywhere, from the beds to the door handle. The blood seemed to come from the corpses that were lying on the floor as well as the bed. Upon closer inspection, all the corpses seemed to be that of young women, their faces all dry and pale.
"Hmm, So you have come?" A deep and devilish voice revertibrated into Zhu Long's ears. As soon as Zhu Long had heard that, another loud noise came into his ears.
-----
Silence.
To his surprise, nothing happened. Zhu Long who had instinctively closed his eyes when he heard the loud explosive sound slowly opened his eyes. When he did, he was again surprised as this time, Zhu Long was surrounded by a blue force field. He was again in the middle of the forest, still hovering above the Demonic bull.
He looked upwards to see that the blue force field had actually formed into a giant dragon head in the sky, which seemed to roar towards the sky from where the Crimson lightning had originated from. At this moment, Zhu Long had already given up on thinking too much as the things that were happening to him were something that Zhu Long himself knew that he couldn't find a reason.
Suddenly, Zhu Long's eyes went towards his hand, more accurately, towards the sword within his hand's grasp, Phoenix Cry. Currently, Phoenix cry had a different type of aura emanating from it which seemed to be a lot more powerful than what it had previously. But that wasn't the biggest change, the appearance of the sword had also changed, from the beautiful fire like color, Phoenix cry's color changed to a deep purple color which gave off more of a royal feel. This feeling from Phoenix Cry was enhanced evenmore by the aura it gave to Zhu Long. The aura given off by the sword was complicated to explain. One had to create a story just to explain what the aura was like. But Zhu Long's next few words could be used to give a very broad summary of the aura," A summer night, filled with a calm breeze. Maybe the calm before a storm.." A saying popped into Zhu Long's mind as he looked towards the Sword.
As Zhu Long was examining Phoenix Cry, he noticed that the blue force field had started to dissipate. As soon as it dissipated, Zhu Long fell straight towards the ground but by luck, his trajectory seemed to be towards the Demonic bull.
The Demonic Bull was laying on the ground and looked completely dead. But with a closer look, Zhu Long had noticed that the bull was still breathing. AS Zhu Long didn't have much time to think, he pointed Phoenix Cry downwards, in an effort to kill the bull as soon as he landed.
*SPLAT*
Blood slipped everywhere when ZHu Long landed on the bull. The full force of him landing on the bull seemed to do more damage than the sword piercing the Bull's body. Zhu Long was astonished when he saw the Bull's body in many bits and pieces, some still in the air while some stuck on tree branches. There was blood almost everywhere in a 50m radius of Zhu Long, all originating from the now dead Demonic Bull. Even though Zhu Long's landing was cushioned by the Bull's body, there was still a crack on the ground where Zhu Long had landed.
"This poor beast, It was about to go through the Lightning tribulation and breakthrough but I must have ruined it's plans. The surprising thing is that even after I got involved, the beast still survived it. If Id had been left to heal by itself, The Demonic bull would have the power to annihilate the entire Qiang village in a few seconds! But still, I killed it when It was at its most vulnerable state. Well, no matter, That is the law of the world, the strong are at the top and the weak at the bottom. If I was at his state, I'm sure that The Bull would have killed me instantly." Zhu Long said to himself as he looked at the remaining parts of the dead Bull. He then noticed something that resembled a large glowing pearl.
Zhu Long's cold face filled with excitement when he saw the pearl-like object.
