Mortal Bones

But after this roar, the only sound it could make was those screams.

Zhang Tianze glanced at the eight-clawed demon octopus indifferently, then looked at the sea below and said:

"After killing so many red-armored knights and people in Tianhai Town, you still want to return to the abyss? What a dream!"

While saying this, a ball of white light suddenly appeared on Zhang Tianze's palm, and then he slapped his palm towards the sea.

"boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, a huge palm shadow almost covered the entire sea surface, directly scattering the turbulent sea water below.

In the depths of the waves surging in all directions, Xu Taiping, who looked stunned, could only see two women with fish-tail bodies looking up at him and Zhang Tianze with angry faces.

These two fish-tailed monsters are the legendary Shark Queen.

"Uh-huh!"

Following a sudden sound of breaking through the air, the two spear shadows directly nailed the two shark queens to the seabed.

However, when the sea-burning flames just above the spear were about to burn the two shark queens into ashes, one of the shark queens suddenly swallowed the other shark queen in one gulp.

Immediately, the shark queen's belly bulged and exploded.

With a "boom", a ball of golden light flew out from the back and abdomen of the shark, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge dragon with two wings and soared into the sky.

"Dragon?"

Xu Taiping looked at the dragon with black scales above his head in astonishment.

Although the dragon is far inferior to the real dragon, it is still one of the most powerful monsters in the world. The killing power of this kind of monster after being possessed is far beyond the comparison of ordinary monsters.

"Taoist Master Taiping is blessed today."

After seeing the dragon, Zhang Tianze still had that indifferent look on his face.

"Eye blessing?"

Xu Taiping didn't know what Zhang Tianze meant by "eye blessing".

"The last time I slayed a dragon was a hundred years ago."

Zhang Tianze first smiled lightly at Xu Taiping, and then said:

"Taoist priest, please wait a moment. I'll be back as soon as I can."

After saying this, Zhang Tianze flashed and appeared directly in front of the dragon.

"hold head high!……"

The dragon roared first, then opened its mouth and spat out a stream of surging black flames towards Zhang Tianze.

Facing this mouthful of dragon's breath flames, Zhang Tianze, who was holding a spear, dodged very calmly and then stabbed out with a spear.

"boom!"

The moment the spear thrust out, the huge shadow of the spear pierced through the huge body of the dragon.

Seeing this scene, looking at the "little" figure of Tianzai, actually killing a dragon without the ability to fight back, Xu Taiping was inexplicably inspired.

Especially when I think of this natural-selected general, who is also a mortal like him, I can't help but feel a throbbing in my heart.

"Perhaps, as Sister Lingyue said, as long as you are willing to fight, even a body of mortal bones can rival the gods."

He secretly thought in his heart.

"boom!"

Not long after, with a scream, the dragon with a body as big as a hill fell straight from the air to the gate of Tianhaiguan.

Zhang Tianze and Xu Taiping's figures fell down.

Xu Taiping dutifully opened the gourd containing Burning Heart Oil and prepared to pour it on the dragon's body.

However, when he saw the dragon's wings and scales shining with the magic weapon, Xu Taiping suddenly put away the gourd, then turned to look at Zhang Tianze and said:

"General, I have a merciless request."

"Taoist Master, please speak."

"Can I take away the dragon's bones, tendons, and skin?"

Xu Taiping asked a little embarrassedly.

"What do you want them for?"

Zhang Tianze was a little puzzled.

"Exchange money."

Xu Taiping answered very honestly.

Although it is a demon dragon, the flesh and bones on its body are not much different from ordinary dragons, or even better, so it is expensive.

Zhang Tianze was stunned, then nodded and said:

"Okay, but when I come to you for a drink in the future, you will pay the bill."

"no problem!"

Xu Taiping agreed immediately.

"Taoist Master Taiping, you said you are a Zhenwutian monk. Are you also here to participate in the Golden Scale Association?"

While Xu Taiping was peeling off the dragon skin, Zhang Tianze asked curiously from the side.

"Yes."

Xu Taiping nodded.

There is no need to hide this kind of thing.

"If I have time at that time, I will definitely go and take a look to build up your momentum for Taoist Master."

Zhang Tianze thought about it seriously.

"Okay, I'll treat you to a drink then, General."

Xu Taiping agreed with a smile.

In his opinion, these were just polite words from the general. A man as high and powerful as he had no time to build up his reputation.

"boom!……"

At this moment, a pure white beam of light suddenly rose on the battlefield to the west of Tianhai Pass.

At the same time, a Sanskrit sound sounded between heaven and earth.

Xu Taiping and Zhang Tianze both turned to look, and then saw a withered skeleton sitting cross-legged under the light pillar.

"That's...Mage Xuanzhi?!"

Xu Taiping looked stunned.

Zhang Tianze also looked surprised.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tianze and Xu Taiping saw that the flesh and blood of the withered bones were reborn bit by bit, and finally turned into a naked figure.

If you look carefully, who else could it be if it wasn't Monk Xuanzhi?

"Taoist Master Taiping, is this your friend?"

Zhang Tianze turned to Xu Taiping and asked.

"Yes...but...he has already..."

"Is your friend an ascetic?"

Before Xu Taiping finished speaking, Zhang Tianze asked again.

"Yes."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"That's not surprising."

Zhang Tianze nodded, and then explained to Xu Taiping:

"The ascetic monks are born to die. Your friend has a deep affinity with Buddhism. He turned disasters into blessings and now has achieved the status of an Arhat in Buddhism."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping was immediately delighted.

Let alone the status of an Arhat, it is a good thing that Master Xuanzhi is alive.

...

...

Three months later.

The capital of Nanchu, Shiyi Zhai.

"I left for seven years and finally came back."

Xu Taiping looked at the plaque of Shiyi Zhai and let out a long breath.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Just after saying this, he suddenly pressed his eyes and grimaced in pain.

"Don't worry, I'll go in and get you some gold and money right away!"

Xu Taiping covered his eyes and murmured in a low voice.

His gold coins had been used up long ago, and he had nothing to feed Lian Tong for a long time. He felt pain every day these days.

Otherwise, he would not have come to Shi Yi Zhai as soon as he entered the city, instead of registering under the Golden Scale List.

"Where did you come from, beggar? Go away, go away! Don't block our business!"

Xu Taiping, who had finally calmed down the pain in Lian Tong, was suddenly pushed hard by someone.

He looked up and found that it was a shop assistant of Shi Yi Zhai.

"Beggar?"

Xu Taiping was stunned at first, then he looked down at his clothes and immediately understood.

After leaving Tianhai Pass, he went to the Blood Rain Forest for training. Every day, apart from training, he would find monsters to practice with. He didn't pay much attention to his clothes and went straight into the city.
