Chapter 299: Heaven's Thunder
The moment he saw those two emaciated shadows, one tall and one short, the weasel being dragged by the tail by Li Muyang went limp, paralyzed on the ground in extreme terror, trembling violently.
Faced with these two malevolent beings, the weasel didn't even have the courage to resist.
Li Muyang then released the weasel's tail, squinting at the malevolent beings ahead.
This game lacked a health bar; he was unable to recognize their identities.
But judging from the aura… very strong.
Li Muyang revealed a slight smile, "Do you two have any advice for me?"
The tall, gaunt figure, smiling broadly said, "We heard a Dragon Goddess had emerged within the pass, and we brothers have come to pay our respects."
The short figure stated grimly, "To kill you."
The tall figure chuckled, "The Dragon Goddess in the North Land gathering Incense Value, benefiting the people, is indeed commendable, yet, unfortunately, it breaks the rules."
The short figure's gaze was icy, "If you kneel and surrender as a slave, your life will be spared."
The tall figure shook his head as he laughed, "Our master loves to make friends and would like to invite the Dragon Goddess out for a discussion."
The short figure coldly stated, "Our lord is in need of a mount, you can survive by serving as a slave!"
The two gaunt shadows, one tall and one short, finished exchanging words, as the sinister, rotten stench hit them like a tsunami.
The weasel behind Li Muyang simply collapsed on the ground, emitting a pungent, fishy odor, having been scared into urination.
But Li Muyang, taking the brunt of this horrific aura directly, merely frowned slightly.
The Incense Value within him surged, shielding him from this strange presence.
Staring at the two figures ahead, Li Muyang sighed, "I'd like to ask what rules I have indeed broken by gathering Incense Value in the counties of the North Land."
The shorter figure snorted coldly, "The entire land north of Yin Mountain belongs to our master as grazing fields. Our master decreed that no creature north of Yin Mountain, within the boundary towns to the southern edge, shall engage in cultivation!"
"Your cultivation in the counties of the North Land is a violation of the rules!"
Yin Mountain is a continuous mountain range to the north of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
North of Yin Mountain lies the counties of the North Land of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
This rule, as stated by the short figure, was something Li Muyang was hearing for the first time.
Is this why there were no cultivators nor even the Demon Suppression Magus from the Astrological Bureau in the counties of the North Land?
Li Muyang asked, "I have yet to learn of the esteemed name of your master..."
Was there really such an imperious and domineering figure in Tianyuan Continent?
Where was the invincible Sage of Green Leaf?
How could there be such a formidable presence under your watch!
Li Muyang felt both curious and baffled.
Yet the shorter figure snorted coldly, "You are unworthy of knowing our master's name."
The taller figure smiled, "Just follow us out of the pass, and there is no need to ask too much. Our master's name is not to be spoken lightly, nor called directly, nor disrespected."
The shorter figure took a step forward, his voice cold, "Kneel immediately, or else your soul will be destroyed, your dragon sinews extracted, leaving you unable to reincarnate!"
The two figures pressed closer step by step, giving Li Muyang no chance to entangle them with questions.
Seeing the situation, Li Muyang couldn't help but sigh.
He hadn't expected that the absence of monsters and cultivators in the counties of the North Land was hiding such a deep pitfall.
Cultivating here would attract wandering spirits from beyond the pass?
Why did these wandering spirits forbid cultivation in the counties of the North Land?
Li Muyang said with a resigned laugh, "Actually, I too would like to venture beyond the pass with you two and gain some insights, but unfortunately, I have a prior engagement with the Glass Immortal Maiden of the Mysterious Sword Sect. She will be visiting the North Land in a few days."
"If I leave with you two now, I would be breaking that appointment."
Looking sincerely at the two tall and short figures, Li Muyang earnestly bluffed, "Why not wait with me for a couple of days? Once I have met the Glass Immortal Maiden and kept my promise, then I will join you two beyond the pass?"
The Mysterious Sword Sect, founded by Real Master Qing Ye, possessed immense deterrent power across the Tianyuan Continent.
After all, Real Master Qing Ye had truly decimated the Demon Path in the world, wiping out the Demon Cultivators' dominion on the Tianyuan Continent with his own strength.
Li Muyang had not yet met Chu Qingxue, but that didn't stop him from leveraging the reputation of the Mysterious Sword Sect to intimidate others at this moment.
However, upon hearing his words, the two roaming gods reacted indifferently.
The taller roaming god shook his head with a smile, "Goddess Dragon God, don't jest, no cultivators are allowed to set foot in the northern counties. The Glass Immortal Maiden you speak of cannot possibly come to the North Land."
The shorter roaming god snorted coldly, "Do you have a connection with the Mysterious Sword Sect? Humph! Even if you were a disciple of Real Master Qing Ye, if you come to the North Land to cultivate and collect incense, my brother and I would still kill you!"
The omnipotent name of Real Master Qing Ye had actually become ineffective in the northern counties.
The two roaming gods from beyond the passes disregarded both the fame of the Mysterious Sword Sect and Real Master Qing Ye.
They directly advanced toward Li Muyang.
Although the steps of the two roaming gods were not swift, with each step they took forward, Li Muyang felt the air around him grow denser with a rancid smell, and a certain invisible shackle increased its pressure on him.
As the roaming gods methodically approached, the shackle's pressure on Li Muyang gradually increased.
Under the cold moonlight, he revealed his true body—a fifty-meter-long Flood Dragon.
The massive Moon Biting Flood Dragon emerged in the wilds, emitting a dragon's roar that shook the wilderness.
However, even after revealing his true Flood Dragon form, the shackle's pressure did not diminish.
Such an immense and strong Flood Dragon form was still immobilized by the invisible shackles' pressure.
At this moment, Li Muyang acutely felt the terror of the two roaming gods.
He sighed, "Thankfully, I am no ordinary Flood Dragon..."
If he were a normal Flood Dragon, he would likely have fallen today.
But he had a system!
Li Muyang directly opened the incense power interface, spending 100,000 incense value points to illuminate the skill he had been reluctant to use before.
[Thunderbolt]!
In the incense power interface, there was a powerful skill called Thunderbolt, requiring a hundred thousand incense value to light up, and one thousand incense value to activate the Thunderbolt skill once.
Li Muyang had saved up for a month; seven temples were built for him by seven cities, with believers praying day and night. He had accumulated only 390,000 incense value.
Before, the skyfire skill was sufficient and he truly hesitated to light up the [Thunderbolt] skill.
But now, he had no choice but to learn it.
As the [Thunderbolt] skill icon lit up on the incense power interface, the next second, Li Muyang directly activated the skill.
Boom!
Between heaven and earth, a deafening thunderous explosion suddenly resounded.
The two roaming gods suddenly looked up, only to find that the night sky was somehow filled with sinister tribulation clouds.
The tribulation clouds emitting the heavenly might of thunder calamity were the bane of all creatures.
Even the two roaming gods couldn't help but change their expression at this moment.
"...Tribulation clouds?!"
They showed an expression of disbelief on their faces.
Why were there tribulation clouds?
The next second, thunder exploded.
It gave the two roaming gods no time to ponder.
Two golden bolts of thunder streaked across the sky, hitting directly into the woodland.
The terrifying aura of thunder calamity rolled through the air, the two roaming gods were directly reduced to ashes, leaving only four dark footprints at the scene.
