Chapter 4 Houyi Slaughters the Dragon

  The tail end of the giant snake landed on the ground, and the hundred feet snake body stood upright in the air, frighteningly powerful, as if it was going to turn into a dragon.   The little princess casually took a carving plume arrow and put it on the bowstring, and then used all her strength to pull the Houyi bow open a little bit. The dark Hou Yi bow began to glow with a faint golden light, and the golden light surged toward the arrow on the bowstring like a mist. Mundane iron turned into golden essence, an ordinary plume arrow turned golden yellow, and finally turned into a golden light and left the string.   Wind and thunder gusts, heaven and earth lost color, the golden light seemed to tear through the void, in the blink of an eye to the giant snake. Giant snake is terrified, seems to find the huge energy hidden in the golden light arrow, it quickly fell to the ground, the huge snake body can barely avoid the golden aura that makes heaven and earth lose color, the giant snake whole snake body coiled in the crater can't stop trembling.   The golden light arrow and the giant snake brushed past, making the crowd incomparably lost, however, in the blink of an eye the wind and thunder sounded again, the golden light arrow that had already disappeared whistled back from afar, the dazzling golden aura made the sun in the sky pale, the golden light arrow instantly pierced into the giant snake's body.   "Puh."   A wave of blood erupted from the snake's wound, the crater rushed up the sky of blood light, the huge snake body in the crater constantly rolling, countless huge stones by the snake body impact everywhere shooting, the little princess crowd panicked to avoid.   Ten minutes after the giant snake is no longer tumbling, it once again upright, hideous snake head from the ground more than ten feet away, it stared viciously at the little princess, but when the giant snake saw Houyi bow, instinctively show fear.   The giant snake's body was cut open by the arrow of light just now, a huge bloody hole, the front and back of the bloody hole through the light, blood gurgling outward.   A trainee magician said, "Your Highness, open your divine bow once more, if you shoot into that wound just now this time, you will definitely be able to kill the demonic snake in one fell swoop."   "No, I no longer have the strength to draw the divine bow, you guys do it!"   Each of the dozen or so guards went up and tried, but none of them were able to pull open the divine bow.   Chen Nan hid behind the rock and watched everything clearly just now, no one present understood the Hou Yi Bow better than he did, it would be difficult to pull the Divine Bow by the slightest bit without a high level of power. If the little princess has enough power, just now will Houyi bow and then slightly open some, not to mention a giant snake, is a dragon is also difficult to escape the scourge of death. In the ancient legend, Hou Yi bow had once shot down a god in the sky, and was one of the most powerful immortal treasures in the Immortal Fantasy Continent.   The giant snake seemed to be able to see that the crowd could no longer continue to use the "dark tool" that frightened it, and the ferocious light in its eyes was so great that it glanced back at the Flaming Immortal Lotus in the inner side of the volcano, and then rushed straight toward the crowd not far away.   Chen Nan had already realized that it was not good, and ran down the mountain at the first time.   It was only at this point that the little princess truly revealed a look of panic, "I overestimated my strength!"   The guards shouted, "Your Highness, run away."   The little princess backed up her Houyi bow, looked deeply at the crowd in front of her, and turned around to run down the mountain.   At this time, the giant snake had already swooped down, stirring up a gust of wind, and the huge head of the snake came to the front of the crowd in the twinkling of an eye. Blood red snake letters, white poisonous fangs, just a fraction of a second away from touching the body of the crowd, three trainee magicians quickly held up a light blue light screen. The giant snake's head crashed hard on the magic shield, the light blue light screen instantly ruptured, the three trainee magicians spat out blood, and the guards were thrown far away by the huge momentum, rolling down the mountain.   Giant snake swimming fast like lightning, in the blink of an eye and caught up with the downward rolling crowd, on the spot there are two people by the huge body of the snake itself, even the screams did not have time to issue a, will be reduced to mush, the guards look at the heart of the gall to crack. The giant snake did not continue to attack the other guards, his eyes were glowing with a vicious light, chasing towards the little princess in front of him.   At this moment, Chen Nan's soul was in danger, the Imp was following him, while the giant snake was chasing after her.   The little princess shrieked repeatedly, "Ah ......"   Chen Nan loudly rushed back and shouted, "Imp what are you ghost screaming for, don't follow me like a follower."   "Scum, stinking thief you dare to talk to me like this, I will sooner or later catch you into the palace as a eunuch, ah ...... stinking snake is coming ......" At this time, the little princess early no previous calm and collected color, at the moment She panicked beyond measure.   The guards heard the little princess screaming, forced to endure the severe pain on the body, climbed up from the ground, drew out the long sword to the giant snake body stabbing. But the ordinary iron swords couldn't help the giant snake at all, the giant snake's body twisted from side to side, and its huge body slammed ferociously into the bodies of these guards, who were knocked away like scarecrows.   The giant snake had already chased to the back of the little princess, opened its huge blood red mouth and spat out a large swath of flame, the roaring flames swept towards the little princess.   The little princess looked panicked beyond measure and let out a piercing scream, "Ah ......"   Seeing that the flames had already burned to the back of the little princess, at this time Houyi bow suddenly emitted a faint golden light, blocking the flames out, frightening the giant snake to stop at once.   At the same time, a long whistle came from the distance, the sound like rumbling thunder, stirring in the air for a long time.   "Yu'er don't panic, Master is here." The loudness of the visitor's voice caused the crater's rubble to keep rolling down the mountain.   Chen Nan was shaken to the point that his ears buzzed and he almost fell to the ground.   Not long afterward, a middle-aged man with broad clothes appeared a hundred feet away.   "Woo...... old man why did you just come ah, if you came one step later, I would have been eaten by this stinking snake." The little princess screamed.   Chen Nan was shocked and his qi and blood churned, coupled with his excessive nervousness just now, he sat on his butt on the ground.   "The sound skill is so powerful, could it be the sound killing stance Cang Long Xiao? The imp called him an old man, could it be a rejuvenated old man." He stared closely at the middle-aged man, and in just a blink of an eye, the visitor came another fifty feet closer.   "Shrinking into the ground, the technique is close to the Dao! This old fellow is truly outstanding, it seems that his kung fu has reached the level of a Grandmaster at the very least." Chen Nan was secretly alarmed.   In an instant, the middle-aged man had already arrived in front of the little princess, and the giant snake was not far away, looking at the uninvited guest.   The middle-aged man didn't seem to put the giant snake in the slightest bit of mind, dotingly patted the little princess's head and laughed: "Haha, the little girl has suffered enough, right?"   "Nasty, don't hit my head." The Imp Princess pushed the middle-aged man's hand aside and pouted her lips, "Hmph, dead old man did you come long ago and purposely hide in the shadows to see my jokes?"   "If I had come long ago, could I have watched you all being chased and bitten by that little snake?"   "Swoon!" Chen Nan was really convinced by this pair of master and disciple, actually both labeling that huge thing with the word "small".   "Hmph, who knows if you're telling the truth or not."   At this time, those guards who were spared stumbled over around the giant snake.   The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "You guys stay away from this volcano and retreat as far as you can."   The little princess also stopped talking and led the group of severely injured guards to run down the mountain. Of course, Chen Nan had long escaped first, he didn't want to face that terrifying little devil.   "Hey, scum, stinking thief you stop right there, or I'll skin you after I catch you." The little princess shouted viciously.   Chen Nan had suffered enough during these few days of being captured, at this moment, he scolded back very fiercely, "You stinky princess, daydream, sooner or later, I'll let you pay back the bill, I'll XXXXXX ......"   The guards who were spared want to rush over to catch him immediately, but they are seriously injured, they have the heart but not the strength, they can only be in the distance to loudly rebuke, angry scolding. The little princess had never been so insulted, angry silver teeth clenched, her body could not stop trembling, if not for the fact that she had exhausted her power, I'm afraid that she would have already chased after Chen Nan and killed him 10,000 times.   Three to five times, Chen Nan had arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he ignored the angry curses behind him, and dove into the depths of the woods not far away. He didn't leave there, wanting to watch the fight between the middle-aged man who had just arrived and the giant snake, he hid in a corner of the dense forest.   The Houyi Bow that terrified the giant snake had already been taken away by the little princess, but it was slow to attack the little princess's master. The giant snake had long been psychic, and it had sensed that the weak body in front of it contained great power, and it twisted its huge snake body uneasily.   At this moment, facing the giant snake alone, the aura of the little princess master changed in a flash, at this time he seemed to be a giant standing proudly in the world, his face was fearless, full of powerful confidence.   Giant snake is the king of all beasts in the neighborhood, no animal dares to step foot in a few miles around, however, in just half a day's work, its authority has been challenged. At this moment, after the middle-aged man's powerful aura of oppression, it was completely enraged, fiery waves of fire erupted, surging toward the middle-aged man like the sky and the earth.   The middle-aged man's body shape like electricity, leaving a residual shadow in the original place, instantly moved to the side of the distance of five feet, and then leaped up high, a palm hit on the giant snake earlier traumatic wounds, the blood wave again from the wound sprayed out.   The giant snake couldn't endure the tremendous pain, and its upright body tumbled to the ground, its blood red eyes glowing with a chilling ferocious light. A gust of wind rose up, the huge snake's tail split across the sky toward the middle-aged man, this tail pumping if put in the sand field is a veritable sweeping army, in the rumbling sound, the rock shooting, sand and dust cover the sky, the giant snake this "sweeping army" in the mountains left a huge ditch marks.   When the smoke and dust cleared, the middle-aged man has stood on the top of the volcano, the giant snake once again upright, the huge snake head is just flush with the crater, hideous mouth to the middle-aged man swallowed bite and go.   Middle-aged people do not avoid not flash, a forward, two fists swung forward, a large area of white light appeared in front of the fists, the white light seems to have a tangible thing hit the giant snake's bloody mouth.   "Boom."   There was an earth-shattering sound.   The giant snake tumbled from the air and fell to the ground, hitting the mountains and rocks that shot in all directions. The middle-aged man was also sent flying from one side of the crater to the other by the tremendous force of the recoil, falling to the ground in a sorry state.   Chen Nan secretly marveled in his heart: this middle-aged man was actually able to fight a hundred-foot giant snake with his own strength, his cultivation was truly extraordinary.   The Little Princess and the others who were hiding in the jungle were overjoyed to see that the middle-aged man was able to fight the giant snake.   The middle-aged man and the giant snake again entangled together, the middle-aged man relying on lightning speed and superb strength to attack the eyes and other weaknesses of the giant snake, the giant snake by virtue of the body's advantage of the middle-aged man sweeping brutal, one person and one snake in the volcano jumping and tossing, huge stones continue to fall from the mountain downward rolling.   One person and one snake were getting farther and farther away from the crater, gradually hitting towards the bottom of the mountain, Chen Nan felt bad and quickly skipped away. The Little Princess crowd also felt bad, they hurriedly withdrew back a mile.   The crowd had just withdrawn, and their original hiding place was reduced to a new battlefield. The middle-aged man and the giant snake fought from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and every time he swung his fist, it would emit a large area of blazing white light, and the rocks, forests, and trees would be shattered into pieces when they touched it.   The destructive power of the giant snake is even greater than the middle-aged man, every time it spits out flames, a large area of the forest will be burned, turned into scorched earth, every "sweeping thousands of troops" will have rows of trees fall.   In less than a cup of tea, the entire forest was razed to the ground.   Chen Nan watched with fear and trepidation, it wasn't that he hadn't seen a great master before, his father was the greatest of the great masters, but he hadn't seen such an intense fight a few times.   The little princess was secretly glad that if the giant snake had been so powerful to them earlier, I'm afraid that at this moment she would have reported to heaven. Of course this was her wishful thinking, Cinnan was more convinced that she would go to hell to find the demon to recognize her.   At this time, the middle-aged man seemed to have the upper hand, his lightning-like figure frequently appeared near the wounds that the giant snake had suffered earlier, his fists accompanied by a blazing white aura constantly bombarded the same place, and the giant snake was beaten in a terrible way, its huge body constantly rolling over.   The little princess immediately cheered, "Master go for it, quickly beat that stinking snake to death and avenge my guards."   "Aiya, old man you are so stupid oh, how did you let the stinky snake get the upper hand again, are you proud of yourself after hearing me praise you?"   "Old man you are so bad, oops, really stupid, how can you let the stinky snake set your hair on fire."   ......   The middle-aged man stretched out his palm to chip away the strand of long hair that was burned by the flames and quickly retreated backward a dozen feet.   "Master you're such a coward, how were you able to escape?"   Chen Nan laughed darkly, it was truly one of life's great misfortunes for the middle-aged man to have such a demonic disciple.   The middle-aged man took a breath and transmitted, "Little girl don't talk nonsense, if you mess up again you'll be punished for facing the wall for a hundred days after you return."   "People are not encouraging you."   Middle-aged man: "......"   The middle-aged man was "stimulated" after the great power, will be the giant snake withered, just when the crowd thought the middle-aged man victory, the giant snake's tail suddenly as fast as lightning like wrapped around the waist of the middle-aged man, a moment he rolled into the air, even the thinnest tail of the giant snake is only a turn around the middle-aged man's chest and abdomen below the all wrapped up.   The little princess shrieked in shock, rushing past the guards and running forward.   The middle-aged man struggled desperately, his whole body glowed with a faint white light, the light became stronger and stronger, the snake's tail wrapped around his body gradually loosened, and he was about to break free from the giant snake's entanglement, but just at this moment, the hideous snake's head suddenly opened its huge blood-red mouth and bit at him. He hurriedly swung his fists outward, a blazing white aura blocked the hideous snake head out, but the loosened snake tail once again tightly entangled him.   The little princess flew to less than ten feet away from the giant snake, her voice choked, "Master ...... oooh ......"   "Yu'er don't cry, master is fine, this small snake also can't take my life."   "Master receive Houyi bow." Said the little princess threw Hou Yi bow and a carved plume arrow into the air.   "Woo...... master, I'm sorry, I want to see your real strength, so I didn't give Hou Yi bow to you earlier, woo......" the little princess cried again.   "Yu'er don't be afraid, this little snake really can't help the master, now there is Houyi bow in hand it is dead." The middle-aged man said, while exerting force to the giant snake's head to bombard two punches, blazing white aura at once the snake's head knocked back a distance of three zhang, he stretched out his hands, emitting a soft white light will Houyi bow and carving plume arrows to receive into the hands.   "Yu'er quickly retreat, be careful of getting hurt."   The little princess put her heart down after seeing the middle-aged man receive the Hou Yi bow and turned to run.   The giant snake did reveal a look of fear after seeing the Houyi bow, and the huge snake head moved backward a distance of seven or eight feet.   The middle-aged man's body glowed greatly, and after nocking the sculpted plume arrow, he tried his best to pull the bowstring, and he shouted, "Open!" But to his surprise the bowstring did not move.   "Yu'er, isn't it true that someone once used the Houyi bow?" The middle-aged man shouted.   "Yes, old man. That bloody hole in Stinky Snake's body was shot by me, now you're happy, I finally pulled the divine bow."   "What? You little minx, the Hou Yi bow can only be used once in a year, it really got you killed."   "Ah ...... master ...... woo ......"   The giant snake seemed to have seen that the middle-aged man was unable to use the divine bow, it viciously bit at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man swung the Hou Yi bow to meet it, the dark back of the bow slammed into the giant snake's Mori white teeth, four or five poisonous fangs up to half a meter in length were broken off, and flew out along with a mist of blood. The giant snake ate the pain and threw the middle-aged man away with a hard slam of its tail.   The middle-aged man tumbled to the ground from the air in a sorry state, and after he took a long breath, he rushed towards the giant snake with his divine bow in hand.   Chen Nan was dumbfounded as he watched, the little princess's master actually used the Houyi bow as a club, and his heart ached.   "This perverted man actually ...... really wasted it!"   The little princess looked on with a smile on her face, "Haha, the old man is really funny!"   The middle-aged man leaped high, a black light flashed, the giant snake's scale armor that was as tough as steel was struck by the Houyi bow and flew in all directions, and blood rained down in the sky. Giant snake fury, the whole snake body crazy twisting, huge tail horizontal pumping vertical split, the earth are for it to shake up.   However, the little princess's master's figure was like electricity, dodging rounds and rounds of deadly attacks. He then struck frequently with his Houyi bow in hand, beating the giant snake to a bloody pulp.   Suddenly the giant snake stopped, upright in the air the snake body began to emit a faint golden light, the giant snake body has undergone a shocking change, the colorful scales and armor on the snake body turned into golden scales, four protrusions appeared on the abdomen, the head grows a pair of golden antlers, a dragon roar from the mouth of the giant snake, the sound shook the nine heavens. A powerful dragon qi emanated from the giant snake's body, and all the animals in a hundred-mile radius prostrated themselves on the ground.   Everyone was stunned.   "Dragon, I saw the legendary dragon!" Chen Nan exclaimed excitedly.   The little princess exclaimed, "Oh my god! We're fighting a dragon!"   While everyone was all excited, the Little Princess's master revealed a gloomy look. Only he understood that the giant snake had not succeeded in transforming into a dragon; the dragon's claws on its belly were not extended, and there was only one end to a failed dragon transformation - death.   He softly said, "Brother Snake is sorry, I thought you were a snake demon that had no success in cultivation, I never thought that you would be so noble and proud that you have spent ten thousand years to cultivate the body of a true dragon, if you had not already reached the critical point of transforming into a dragon, I think that we would have long been dead without a burial place."   At this time the golden scales on the body of the giant snake began to fall off, no scales where the blood and flesh, the giant snake issued a mournful dragon roar, from the mouth spit out a golden light flashes of the inner dan, the inner dan in the air suddenly burst into pieces, turned into a bit of gold rain disappeared in the air, the dragon failed to transform the giant snake turned into a golden light to the volcano rushed to the blink of an eye did not enter the caldera.   The little princess's master was disappointed, if he killed a demon snake, he would never feel incomparably lost, but killing a holy snake that was expected to transform into a dragon, he felt a heavy heart.   "Is it right, is it wrong? Perhaps there is no right or wrong in this world in the first place." He let out a long sigh.   With a heavy heart, the middle-aged man arrived at the crater of the volcano, he flew and leaped to the Fiery Flame Immortal Lotus, and picked only one petal of the Immortal Lotus, before pulling off the entire plant and throwing it inside the volcano.   "Brother Snake, this may be the will of heaven, if the Fiery Immortal Lotus had ripened half an hour earlier, perhaps you would have already transformed into a dragon and gone away. That Fiery Immortal Lotus will surely keep your spiritual consciousness intact, may you cultivate into a true dragon in your next life."   At this time, the little princess crowd had run up, "Master what just happened, how did that stinky snake turn into a dragon?"   The middle-aged man said, "You're looking at it wrong, how could it turn into a dragon?"   "It's the dragon, people clearly saw a dragon well, you guys say you just saw if it was a dragon?" The little princess said to those guards.   "It's a dragon."   "It is a dragon."   "Definitely is a dragon, I can see clearly."   ......   The guards affirmed.   The middle-aged man faintly said, "People will hallucinate when they are overly nervous, just now you guys were too nervous."   The little princess said, "Hmph, old man why are you weird today, there must be something you are hiding from me."   The middle-aged man laughed, "You little girl, always thinking nonsense. Here, this is the Fiery Flame Immortal Lotus that you are going to pick."   "Ah, how come there's only one petal?"   "You, you're so greedy, it's already good enough to get one petal of this kind of immortal grass, the rest of the lotus petals have already fallen inside the volcano after ripening."   "Alas, what a pity." The little princess sighed.   "Ai, master, what about that snake, was it killed by you?"   "It has died under the Houyi Bow."   "Oh, old man you're really weird today, you've clearly slaughtered a dragon, no, it's a giant snake, how can you still be this listless?" The little princess blinked her big eyes and looked at the middle-aged man with a different meaning.   The middle-aged man pinched her nose and changed the topic and laughed, "You little girl even snuck out of the palace, don't you know that you're about to make your father anxious to death."   "Nasty." The little princess slapped off the middle-aged man's hand and said, "I came out to look for the Fiery Immortal Lotus not for my father's sake, when he turns sixty years old on his birthday, I'll send him the Immortal Lotus, and he'll be overjoyed."   "You little girl is really crazy, don't you know that it will be dangerous for you to do so? How can you disregard ...... it?"   "Alright, alright, I know, why are you more nagging than my grandmother. Master, I heard people say that you had a crush on my grandmother when you were young, is that true?" The little princess laughed badly.   "You ...... you don't change the topic."   The little princess laughed playfully, "Yes, as ordered, disciple immediately return to the palace."   The middle-aged man had a helpless look on his face and said, "You're too naughty, I really don't feel confident that you will go back peacefully."   The little princess curiously said, "Old man you don't go back with me?"   The middle-aged man said, "I came here in search of you, originally I should have 'escorted' you back, but on the way I heard someone say that a Qilin Divine Beast had appeared in the Falling Wind Mountain Range, that's an extraordinary thing ah, I'm going to go over there to take a look, I just don't feel at ease with you ah!"   "Isn't that a legendary divine beast, is there really a Qilin in this world?" The little princess' two eyes glowed with excitement, saying, "I want to go too."   "No, you've left the palace for more than half a month, your mother's mother is scared for you, and for that reason she has fallen ill, so you should hurry back."   "Ah, my mother's mother is sick? Alright then, I'll go back immediately." The little princess was filled with disappointment.   The middle-aged man returned the Houyi bow to the little princess and said, "Yu'er, why did you steal the Houyi bow out, you should know that this is the heirloom treasure of the Chu Kingdom, and his role master is used to deter the supreme masters of other countries."   "What's wrong, it's not just borrowing it, it's not like I'm not returning it." The little princess was full of concern.   "You really don't know the importance, the divine bow had been sealed by someone, it can only be used once within a year, how can you take it and use it casually, it's a good thing that the Chu Kingdom doesn't have any evil enemies right now, basically it can't be used."   "Know-it." The little princess trailed off.
