Chapter 214: Coiled Dragon Golden Spear? Seize!
Little White's four paws weren't moving as if it was standing on the ground. At first, Zhao Yanzi seemed startled. But soon, she began shouting in joy.
"Little White!" Hao Ren clapped his hands.
High up in the air, Little White was awe-inspiring. Pedaling its paws, it returned and landed and landed on top of a rock.
"Haha, Little White, I love you so much!" With her arms around Little White's neck, Zhao Yanzi almost started rolling on the ground with it in her arms.
Similarly, Hao Ren was also surprised to find that Little White was able to fly. Overjoyed, he patted its back and got on as well.
"Little White, let's see if you can do it!" Hao Ren patted its rump.
Roar!
Little White let out a lasting howl while exerting force through its limbs.
Woom... Again, flames enveloped all four of its paws, and it flew high up in the air unwaveringly!
It seemed effortless for Little White to carry both Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi at the same time!
Moreover, its four paws looked like they were on hot wheels; flying was its innate power!
"Little White is so cool!" Zhao Yanzi couldn't help but lean over and hug Little White's neck tightly again.
"Alright, Little White, fly ahead!" Hao Ren gently patted its rump again while pointing forward.
Little White was very obedient. It immediately spread its limbs and flew rapidly forward.
They realized that the distance that they originally had to travel by foot was now achievable by Little White's flight ability! Even though its speed could not be compared to Dharma Treasures, they no longer needed to get over high mountains on foot. More importantly, it would save them a lot of time and energy!
Riding on Little White's back, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi enjoyed the beautiful sceneries as the Nature Essence-filled air gently blew at them. It was such a marvelous feeling.
Moreover, seated in the front, strands of Zhao Yanzi's hair fluttered in the wind, and they continued to tickle Hao Ren's cheeks. As her back kept on touching his chest, Hao Ren couldn't help but sense a hint of romance.
Zhao Yanzi felt completely at ease and was silently appreciating the vast prairies and the continuously rising and falling mountains below her feet. Hao Ren quietly held onto her by the waist to prevent her from falling off Little White's back.
"Hahahaha..." Extremely delighted, Zhao Yanzi even opened up her arms to feel the breeze head-on.
Nervously, Hao Ren held onto her waist tighter. For a second, he felt like their poses were extremely familiar.
"We're here! Little White, descend!" Seeing that the branch palace was now right beneath them, Hao Ren quickly gave out the order while pressing down on Little White's back with his palm.
Proudly, Little White let out a couple more roars and directly descended.
The black palace was similar to the Origin Dragon Grand Palace as they were both built with black-colored stones. Right before the door, there were two stone statues holding various weapons. They each had the body of a dragon and head of a jackal - Yazi!
This branch palace that was partially hidden away by the foot of the mountain was Yazi Palace!
Yazi was the second son of the Godly Dragon. It was feisty and had an unquenchable thirst for killing. Its embodiment often occupied hilts of blades to emphasize the intent to kill and to annihilate all evil!
Therefore, just from studying the two stone statues, Hao Ren could tell immediately that various offensive Dharma Treasures were awaiting them inside.
"Little White, go in!" Hao Ren opened the hidden space in his necklace and asked Little White to crawl in.
This branch palace was the closest to the Origin Dragon Grand Palace, so they were expecting Zeng Yitao and the others to be in here as well. Hao Ren did not want them to see that Little White brought them here.
"Come on, let's go in!" Hao Ren dragged Zhao Yanzi and stepped inside Yazi Palace.
Different from the halls in the Vital Dragon Grand Palace, Yazi Palace did not give off an eerie vibe as it was spacious and bright. Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi directly walked into the main hall.
This main hall was in a square shape; its width and height each were a few hundred meters. Instantly, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi saw countless Dharma Treasures flying above them over a white light-veil.
The treasures were not fancy-looking but seemed rather dark and dull. However, while floating in mid-air, they gave off an incredibly intimidating sensation!
What looked good was not necessarily powerful. Every one of these primitive-looking ancient Dharma Treasures could be more powerful than the combination of a dozen top-tier Dharma Treasures!
At this moment, underneath the sea of Dharma Treasures, Zeng Yitao and his servant, the couple from South Ocean, and the siblings from North Ocean were all striving to acquire the Dharma Treasures they desired!
There were at least a hundred of those Dharma Treasures dancing in the air; therefore, they did not have to fight over them. All they needed to do was to choose the ones they desired and focus on obtaining them using their Nature Essence!
The arrival of Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi had surprised the other teams. It seemed like the others believed that Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren were too weak and might not even be able to walk out of the Origin Dragon Grand Palace, let alone to get to Yazi Palace.
Right now, they were all releasing their Nature Essences and working on obtaining the primitive-looking Dharma Treasures.
Zeng Yitao cultivated Three-Star Destruction Scroll. His palm emitted a dash of blue light, and this light formed a rope. Currently, it tightly wrapped around a black ax that was high up in the air. Next to him, his servant had gotten a hold of a black jade flute.
"Haha, little Zi, what a lucky b*stard your Fuma must be for being able to bring you here!" While exerting his Nature Essence to acquire the big black ax, Zeng Yitao turned and said to Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren. He couldn't help himself from spewing vicious remarks when he saw Hao Ren holding Zhao Yanzi's hand.
"Zeng Yitao, one more word from you, and I'll knock your front teeth out!" Zhao Yanzi was furious as she shouted back at Zeng Yitao.
Zeng Yitao paid no attention to Zhao Yanzi's anger. The most important thing right now was acquiring the Dharma Treasures. He believed that there would be plenty of chances for him to deal with Hao Ren in the future.
"Haha." Hao Ren smiled faintly as he shot out a sword energy from his finger.
The grey sword energy rolled into a ball in the air and hit right into the blue light that was being emitted from Zeng Yitao's palm.
With a fizz, the blue rope made of Nature Essence instantly fractured, and the black ax which was making its way to the edge of the white light-veil went back to its original position!
The hundun sword energy was capable of cutting through all five elements. Hence, the sword ball that was made of concentrated hundun sword energy was undoubtedly able to sever Zeng Yitao's Nature Essence.
A whole hour of Zeng Yitao's effort was destroyed!
Zeng Yitao who was elegant and gentle-looking had now become enraged. He glared at Hao Ren and yelled, "How dare you!?"
Hao Ren did not flinch. After all, he was not afraid of Zeng Yitao who was a few years younger than him. He remained calm and pulled Zhao Yanzi back to his side, stopping her from going forward to confront Zeng Yitao.
Clenching his teeth and shaking his hand, Zeng Yitao's hatred towards Hao Ren was apparent as he took out a golden spear!
Although he was young, he already had his own Natal Dharma Treasure!
"Crown Prince, we must focus on acquiring Dharma Treasures; we can deal with them later!" Seeing this, Zeng Yitao's servant urged promptly.
"If I don't defeat him now, he'll keep interrupting for sure! You can focus on obtaining the treasures; I will take him on!" Holding onto the spear with one hand, Zeng Yitao waggled his spear and prodded it right toward Hao Ren's face.
The golden spearhead was agile like a wiggling viper, leaving Hao Ren's vision blurred and dazzled!
Moreover, on the surface of the polearm, there were five coiled dragons carved onto it; its appearance alone indicated that it was a very powerful weapon. It was indeed the Coiled Dragon Golden Spear!
"Watch out!" Zhao Yanzi warned Hao Ren as she gasped.
Hao Ren took a stride and released five sword energies from his hand. They were like five small missiles, bombing onto Zeng Yitao's spear! At the same time, he pushed Zhao Yanzi away so that she could stay farther away from the battle!
"Is that all you've got!?" Zeng Yitao simply switched from holding the spear with one hand to with both hands, and his golden spear did not take the least bit of damage!
His movements were agile and varied greatly. He was coming at Hao Ren ferociously and violently, a good indicator of quite a few years of training! As the future of West Ocean Dragon Palace depended on him, even if no one were to discipline him in his daily life, he would never neglect his cultivation and practice of weaponry skills!
The cultivation technique he had was the best in West Ocean, and so were the spear techniques that he practiced! Every day, he spent three hours on cultivation techniques and another three hours on spear technique practices; those were the compulsory classes commanded by Oldman Zeng!
The spear prodded toward Hao Ren's shoulder before abruptly changing its course and almost slashing Hao Ren's throat!
Spears were regarded as the king of all cold weapon. They were long and sharp, easy and versatile to handle, and refined and unique. Ordinary weapons could not compete with them, not to mention that Hao Ren was unarmed!
"Crown Prince, let him go this time; we need to hurry and acquire the treasures!" Zeng Yitao's servant advised again.
"I'm going to poke a hole in him!" Zeng Yitao quickly withdrew his spear and swung it around, aiming for Hao Ren's chest!
On the other hand, the four young cultivators from South Ocean and North Ocean were trying hard to get the Dharma Treasures in the air and sweat had fully covered their foreheads. Even though they were paying close attention to the fight in the main hall, they had no intention of intervening. After all, a battle between East Ocean and West Ocean could do them no harm.
Woom! Hao Ren sent out two thick sword energies from his palm, barely managing to block off Zeng Yitao's spearhead. Still, with the impact, he was knocked back five steps.
The power of a Natal Dharma Treasure could never be taken lightly!
However, as Zeng Yitao was burning with rage and impatience, his spear technique became chaotic and disorderly; he was unable to win the duel quickly. Noticing that, his servant shouted out loudly again, "Crown Prince, we need to focus on the big picture and let go of personal grudges for now!"
"Shut up! One more word and I will cut you up as well!" Zeng Yitao was losing his patience and collectedness. As soon as a hit missed, he would swing the spear again and keep closing in on Hao Ren! Therefore, when Hao Ren had to take five steps backward, Zeng Yitao immediately took five steps forward!
His anger had been fueling since he saw Hao Ren holding Zhao Yanzi's hand! Not to mention, he was still upset and furious over the incident at Zhao Yanzi's birthday party last time!
"Uncle, don't fight him head-on!" While watching, Zhao Yanzi stomped her feet and said to Hao Ren worriedly.
It was not the Dharma Treasures that she was worried about but Hao Ren's safety.
Thump! The couple from South Ocean had worked together and retrieved the first Dharma Treasure! It was a dark grey-colored rope. The second it was yanked out of the white light-veil, it began giving off an extremely powerful aura!
Pleasantly surprised, the couple placed the rope around their waist before sending out Nature Essence unitedly for their second Dharma Treasure!
Zeng Yitao was filled with envy. Yet, he still wanted to prove himself and teach Hao Ren a lesson. As he took his anger out on Hao Ren, his attacks became even messier.
Thump! Hao Ren now had his back against the wall of the main hall, and Zeng Yitao's spear was speeding toward his forehead!
"Crown Prince, you cannot kill him!" Working hard on obtaining the black jade flute, Zeng Yitao's servant saw what was happening and quickly reminded him.
"I'm going to end him!" Zeng Yitao's eyes had turned bright red due to his urge to kill. Revolving the golden spear smoothly in his hands, he pierced it right toward Hao Ren's forehead again!
As the Crown Prince of West Ocean, he had always done whatever he wanted. In his eyes, East Ocean should only swallow insults and humiliation quietly!
Pop, pop, pop... In this instant, Hao Ren had released a few dozen sword energies that he summoned in his palm at once!
Like a few dozen mini-missiles, they all exploded on Zeng Yitao's body! Although Zeng Yitao's glided Daoist robe had defensive functions, it was not able to withstand the bombing of the five-elemental sword energies. Several large holes appeared on the robe!
Under the impact, the golden spear, which was only a few centimeters away from piercing into Hao Ren's forehead, was also knocked away.
"Cheater!" Seeing that his Daoist robe had been torn, Zeng Yitao threw his spear right at Hao Ren forcefully.
Shuddered with worries and fear, Zhao Yanzi couldn't help but start tipping her toes while she watched!
"Five-elemental sword energy, release!" Once again, Hao Ren's palm released two fierce sword energies!
As the sword energies clashed with the spear, the golden spear's power was reduced, and it slowed down quite a bit. Then, Hao Ren opened the hidden space in his neckless and commanded, "Seize!"
The golden spear entered and disappeared right into Hao Ren's necklace!
Although it was Zeng Yitao's Natal Dharma Treasure, he now could no longer sense the existence of his own Coiled Dragon Golden Spear!
"Zi, let's go!" Hao Ren dragged Zhao Yanzi and headed for the door of Yazi Palace!
At this moment, the siblings of North Ocean had also gotten their very first Dharma Treasure!
