Chapter 64 63. Dragon Qi
"be careful."

Jin Hujun reminded Xu Qing.

When it saw the black gas coming out of Fang Youwei's body and the black gas faintly forming the shape of a hornless, four-legged giant snake, its face suddenly became serious.

"That old dragon actually gave him a ray of energy. Is this related to the old dragon? I see! No wonder!"

Xu Qingru was in a dream and could not understand the meaning behind Jin Hujun's muttering: "Old dragon? County Magistrate Fang's current means come from a dragon monster?"

"To be exact, it is a demon king-level dragon that has occupied the Hongze Lake."

Hongze Lake? A dragon from the demon king realm?

Xu Qing thought about it in his mind, and the content about Hongze Lake suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Hongze Lake is located upstream of Huai'an County and was originally a group of small lakes.

Later, because the owner of the Huai River was sealed, the Huai River was constantly defeated in the competition for water transportation with other rivers, and its channel into the sea was often taken away by the rivers.

This process eventually connected several small lakes together, giving birth to a huge lake, namely Hongze Lake.

Xu Qing had heard a long time ago that there lived a lake lord in the Hongze Lake, and he had countless water monsters under his command.

Presumably, this so-called Lake Lord should be the old dragon at the demon king level mentioned by Golden Tiger Lord.

Before the Hongze Lake was formed, the imperial court actually sent a large army to attack and suppress this force, but unfortunately it failed in the end.

In desperation, they could only build a dam and create twelve water-controlling objects, namely "nine oxen, two tigers and one chicken", to suppress the Hongze water transport.

At the same time, ensure that the water monsters in Hongze Lake cannot easily escape and endanger the lives and safety of people on both sides of the Huaihe River.

Of course, it is obviously impossible to rely on dams and water-controlling objects to completely restrain countless water monsters in Hongze Lake.

In recent years, there are actually quite a few water monsters from Hongze Lake that roam the Huai River and harm the people on the shore.

"Recently, the old dragon has been getting restless and wants to cross the river into the sea and transform into a real dragon." Jin Hujun explained: "If it wants to cross the river, the first step it faces is the obstruction of the imperial court and Yuanfu Temple."

"So if it wants to cross the river smoothly, it can only create some trouble for the imperial court and Yuanfu Temple."

"An army of tiger beasts?"

Xu Qing understood it immediately.

Suddenly, I thought of the black snake demon lurking in Huai'an County.

Isn't what it does the same as what is done in Ningyang Town?

So the old dragon occupying Hongze Lake wants to cause all kinds of disasters on both sides of the Huai River, so as to make the imperial court or Yuanfu Temple busy and have less resistance when it moves across the river?
Xu Qing took a deep breath and thought that if the old dragon in Hongze Lake successfully crossed the river, whether it was a demon disaster or a flood, it would be a disaster for the people on both sides of the Huaihe River.

But this was not a matter he could get involved in, so he could only inform the temple and the court about it and let them prepare.

These thoughts flashed through Xu Qing's mind for less than a moment. After coming to his senses, he looked up at the sky:
"Jin Hu Jun, is the energy of the old dragon you mentioned very troublesome?"

In Xu Qing's perspective.

With the appearance of the dragon's energy, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky where they were, and soon the whole sky became dark.

The originally bright sunlight now powerlessly penetrates through the piled-up dark clouds, only outlining a few dim golden edges in the gaps between the clouds.

The humidity in the air is also increasing, and every time you breathe in you can fill your mouth with water vapor.

"That's not a big deal. It would be really troublesome if the old dragon came in person. Now it's just a wisp of energy."

Xu Qing glared at him and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Take him down right away before he's ready!"

"No hurry." Jin Hujun licked his lips. "I haven't eaten a dragon in a long time. Although it's just a wisp of qi, it can at least satisfy my craving."

"After this strand of Qi grows stronger with the help of the Qi of the surrounding heaven and earth, I will swallow it." Xu Qing: "."

Well, since Mr. Jinhu seems to be confident, he will just watch the fun from the sidelines this time.

But just in case, he hid his hand in his sleeve and pinched the other life-saving purple talisman given by his master.

Time passed quietly for three breaths.

The cumulus clouds in the sky pressed down lower and lower, and the mountain breeze carrying moist water vapor and the smell of mud blew up, and fallen leaves and dust flew all over the sky, charming the eyes.

At this time, the majestic black air had completely engulfed Fang Youwei's figure, forming the shape of a huge hornless dragon in mid-air.

An astonishing dragon might spread out, and all kinds of creatures in the mountains and forests were frightened to the point of crawling on the ground, or even dying.

Xu Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

It was as if a mountain was rolling down on him, almost making it difficult for him to breathe.

Fortunately, the twelve guardian gods of the Six Ding and Six Jia in his body shone together and dissipated the pressure, and Xu Qing finally recovered.

"You shouldn't have let me do what I did."

At this time, Fang Youwei's slightly hoarse voice came from the black dragon floating in the air.

He originally thought that the young Taoist priest and the big cat would try to stop him, and they were planning to destroy the official seal to buy time.

But unexpectedly, neither the little Taoist priest nor the big cat moved.

This made him feel secretly happy for a moment, but at the same time, he also felt something was wrong. Only when you have someone to rely on can you appear fearless.
But now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight!

No matter how smart your brain is, it will be useless when faced with unreasonable and extreme violence.

What's more, feeling this powerful force, he believed that even if he couldn't deal with the little Taoist priest and the big cat, escaping should not be a problem.

The black dragon, with a powerful aura, stretched out its claws and slapped Xu Qing and Jin Hujun hard.

At this time, King Jinhu also stretched out his claws and gently tweezed. Fang Youwei, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly found himself unable to move.

Before the horror could reach his heart, the next moment he could only watch helplessly as the huge black dragon shadow that was covering him peeled away from him.

Then his figure fell from the sky.

At the same time, a big hole appeared in the dark clouds above, and bright sunlight poured down from above. Lord Jin Hu pulled the black shadow of a dragon transformed by the wisp of energy and leaped high into the sky.

Xu Qing sighed.

Mr. Jinhu is unwilling to contribute even a little bit.

"County Magistrate Fang, you have lost all your trump cards. Just surrender." Xu Qing looked at County Magistrate Fang.

According to Uncle Zhang, County Magistrate Fang's strength is just barely above that of a ninth-rank warrior, reaching the level of an eighth-rank warrior.

If it wasn't for the injury, it would have been more than this.

Now that he is far away from Ningyang Town and without the support of the country, his strength can only be on par with that of a ninth-rank warrior.

Xu Qing could easily defeat such an opponent, even after a huge battle with the old man from the southern Xinjiang lineage, which consumed a lot of energy.

Magistrate Fang subconsciously looked up at the figure standing in the sun.

His face was sunken in shadow, his pupils were dilated and dull, his expression was dazed, and his face seemed to have aged ten or twenty years in an instant.
