Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  After being locked in the Demon Sea, he hadn’t eaten a human cultivator for many years, especially a young cultivator.

  “In your dreams!” Su Han shot her longsword toward Xuhao.

  “Cackle… The more you resist, the better you taste!” Xuhao reached out his two slim arms from the red robe, letting Su Han’s longsword pierce his body.

  His body was shapeless like a ghost. While Su Han’s longsword pierced his body, it didn’t injure him at all.

  Since he a mass of ancient souls while was beyond the realm of five elements, he was just a ghost that advanced by swallowing people’s fear, anxiety, and hatred. Without a tangible form, he couldn’t be injured with physical attacks.

  Having never met such a monster before, Su Han immediately withdrew the longsword and created an energy sphere.

  However, Hao Ren knew that Su Han’s energy sphere had no effects on this demon king either. Like a ghost which could enter people’s mind, Xuhao couldn’t be blocked with physical barriers as well.

  Hao Ren’s sword energies connected and formed a circular energy sphere that had lightning energy flashing around it.

  Almost at the same time, Xuhao who had struck out his sharp claws toward Su Han saw the crackling lightning lights and pulled back.

  Since lightning could break evils, only Hao Ren’s lightning energy had some effect on him!

  “You know lightning techniques!” Xu Hao looked at Hao Ren with some astonishment.

  Hao Ren snorted and brought his hands together, shooting dozens of hundun sword energies toward him.

  “Cackle…” Xuhao let out a series of weird chilling laughter before vanishing suddenly.

  However, Hao Ren wasn’t so naïve to think that Xuhao had fled. He knew that the latter was hiding somewhere, waiting to attack.

  Since Hao Ren’s realm had dropped from peak Qian-level to Xun-level, and his body was damaged due to his use of Zhao Haoran’s 1,000-year cultivation strength, he couldn’t use the sword arrays now.

  Seeming to know that Hao Ren couldn’t last long, Xuhao was lurking near Hao Ren and Su Han.

  If he tried his best, he surely could break Hao Ren’s weak lightning energy sphere, but he excelled in sneak-attacks and didn’t want to fight with Hao Ren head-on.

  After all, they were in his territory, and he could exhaust Hao Ren’s strength. He didn’t want this to turn into a huge battle where other demon kings would be attracted.

  Just as Hao Ren was feeling exhausted and couldn’t maintain the energy sphere anymore, he felt a great surge of nature essence being transferred into his back.

  Su Han placed her palms on Hao Ren’s back and transferred some of her strength into him! In the Demon Sea that had an abundance of nature essence, she had recovered a part of her cultivation strength in a short time!

  “Sword array! Up!”

  The 2,560 sword energies condensed into 512 hundun sword energies!

  Su Han felt the nature essence in her body pouring out like water in a waterfall!

  Hao Ren’s sword energies swept out in a wave!

  After being injured by Xuhao last time, he had wanted revenge. However, he entered the Demon Sea again and met this demon king again before his realm reached the desired level.

  Now that they meet again, he was determined to kill this ghost!

  Suddenly, Su Han felt like almost all her nature essence was being sucked out by Hao Ren. With two-thirds of her strength out of her body, she fell onto Hao Ren’s back!

  The grey sword energies lit up Xuhao’s figure in the area, breaking his stealth.

  “The second strike of the Mystic Water Sword Techniques!”

  The hundun sword energies turned into a colorful energy sword with flashing lightning on it, and it stabbed toward Xuhao’s heart. Hao Ren stood where he was while the sword moved at his will!

  With green lights shining in his eyes, Xuhao was panicking, and he quickly turned into white smoke, wanting to escape into the ocean.

  The lightning energy was a combination of the five elements, and it could eliminate all evil and filth!

  Combining his own strength with Su Han’s, Hao Ren was determined to kill this demon king so that the latter wouldn’t cause trouble for him again in secret!

  The colorful energy sword slashed toward the sea surface and instantly cut the white smoke into two halves. Hao Ren had condensed a great amount of Vital Yang Energy into the sword, and it was especially useful against ghosts!

  The water in the sea was clearly lit up by the bright light.

  The white smoke was trying to flee into the depth of the ocean, but Hao Ren suddenly released all his and Su Han’s nature essence. At the moment, Su Han felt like all of her nature essence was sucked out.

  Hiss… Hao Ren’s colorful energy sword shot out a beam of light toward the center of the white smoke.

  “Please forgive me! I will do anything for you!” At this critical moment, Xuhao immediately begged for mercy.

  Hao Ren wouldn’t give him any chance since he had sensed that Xuhao had swallowed countless cultivators and harbored many evil thoughts.

  “Su Han! The Nuwa Stone!” Hao Ren yelled.

  He was afraid that his sword energies couldn’t kill Xuhao completely, and the evil ghost might get away.

  Surprised, Su Han took out the Nuwa Stone from her ring.

  Hao Ren injected the last bit of hundun energy into the Nuwa Stone, and colorful lights instantly lit up the entire area.

  Xuhao had split himself from the white smoke and was ready to flee as a dash of black smoke, but he yelled in desperation when he saw the lights, “Nuva Stone!”

  He had never imagined that an ancient godly item would appear here!

  Hiss… Xuhao was melted by the light which was released from the Nuwa Stone. If Hao Ren’s lightning sword energies hadn’t cut off half of his soul, he might have had a chance to escape.

  Xuhao, one of the ten big demon kings, had never thought that he would die at the hands of Hao Ren who was supposed to be his prey!

  Boom… The ocean waves surged up.

  The demon kings were coming this way one by one after getting the news.

  “Go!” Hao Ren took Su Han’s hand and fled into the ocean while he controlled Su Han’s longsword with the metal-elemental and water-elemental nature essence.

  “Damn it! Why am I always fleeing for my life when I’m with Hao Ren?” Su Han couldn’t help complaining silently.

  In the blink of an eye, Hao Ren dug out a token and hung it on his belt.

  The Penglai Immortal Token!

  715 Acquaintance~ 1.3 for 1 Chapter

  Hao Ren had planned to give himself a break after the journey to the Nine Dragon Palace before coming to the Demon Sea if he couldn’t find enough spiritual herbs to cultivate the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.

  However, his plan was interrupted when he fell to the dangerous Demon Sea after coming out of the Nine Dragon Palace in an exhausted state.

  The big demon kings in the Demon Sea had their territories, especially the top ten demon kings who controlled most of the area of the inner sea.

  The high-level demon beasts swimming near the surface looked harmless but were in fact spies for the big demon kings. When Hao Ren was picked up by that demon dragon, the information was immediately sent to Xuhao by some high-level demon beast.

  When Hao Ren killed Xuhao with the power of the Nuwa Stone, it attracted the attention of the other big demon kings.

  Hao Ren and Su Han were no match for big demon kings even when they were at their peak realms, not to mention that they were now severely wounded.

  “Get out!”

  Hao Ren opened the way with sword energies, splitting open the seawater. Having witnessed Hao Ren killing Xuhao, one of the top ten demon kings, the level 8 and 9 demon beasts didn’t dare to block him, and they fled from him one by one.

  After placing her hands on Hao Ren’s shoulders, Su Han injected her metal-elemental and water-elemental nature essence i
nto Hao Ren continuously.

  She had recovered a part of her nature essence, but their enemies who were chasing them were no longer high-level fierce beasts in the Nine Dragon Palace but the demon kings who were equivalent to the Soul Formation Realm.

  She only hoped that Hao Ren was familiar with the terrain of the Demon Sean and could get them out of this situation! It wasn’t in her plan to fall into the Demon Sea from the Nine Dragon Palace!

  Swoosh! Su Han’s longsword drew a wave of green light while it shot through the seawater.

  Above the sea surface, the big and small demon kings swept across the high sky like flying mountains, casting huge shadows on the sea.

  The high-level demon beasts in the sea had all fled.

  Waves of energy penetrated the seawater, trying to find Hao Ren and Su Han!

  The quietness right now signaled the arrival of a great storm!

  Hao Ren didn’t venture too deep into the Demon Sea while he fled with Su Han. The level 8,9, and even 10 demon beasts fled faster than they did.

  The spirit senses overlapped with each other while they engulfed the deep ocean from the high sky.

  Su Han bit her lip, not expecting that she might die in the Demon Sea which even heavenly dragons didn’t dare venture into after just escaping from the Nine Dragon Palace.

  Five to six big demon kings and dozens of small demon kings surrounded tens of thousands square kilometers of area, and even Daluo Golden Immortals couldn’t escape from this.

  “The person who could kill Xuhao is not an ordinary figure, and the colorful light that shot into the clouds must come from a great treasure!” the demon kings thought to themselves.

  Lady Zhen had recently taken in a young disciple who went around and took the souls of demon kings. Even some big demon kings were killed, forcing the other demon kings to stay home in fear.

  Now that Xuhao was killed quickly, the demon kings suspected that it meant Lady Zhen had begun to deal with the demon kings who were in the top ten, and that was why they all came out to investigate.

  “Celestial island!”

  Right before Hao Ren was about to be located by spirit senses, he saw a mountain-shaped shadow on the sea surface!

  The celestial mountains in the Demon Sea didn’t have fixed locations. Like the cultivation sects that hovered in the high sky, these islands hovered above the sea surface.

  Seeing a celestial mountain floating on the sea surface, Hao Ren felt as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

  Disregarding the spirit senses of the demon kings, Hao Ren flew up with Su Han but found that it was an empty mountain!

  More than ten demon kings were dashing toward them from different directions.

  As soon as Hao Ren got out of the ocean, he was located by all the spirit senses!

  Meanwhile, 18 black lights flew from another direction.

  Lady Zhen had sent out her 18 demon generals to pick up Hao Ren!

  Some of the small demon kings who were rushing at the foremost were shattered into dust by the black lights.

  Having never seen such a scene, Su Han looked at Hao Ren in panic.

  Not a stranger to the battles in the Demon Sea, Hao Ren shot over without hesitation when he saw a dark grey circular door on the empty mountain.

  The battle between the demon kings was earth-shaking. Since Hao Ren didn’t want to be picked up by Lady Zhen for the time being, his priority was to get out of the battle safely!

  Hum!

  The dark grey rusty circular door looked as if it hadn’t been used for years, and it sucked Hao Ren and Su Han in with lights flashing around it.

  The Penglai Immortal Token hanging at Hao Ren’s belt released a pale light, which was the key to unlocking the teleportation array!

  If Hao Ren hadn’t seen a teleportation array in the Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo in East Ocean City, he wouldn’t have guessed that this was the teleportation array often used by human cultivators!

  Seeing Hao Ren and Su Han disappearing in the teleportation array, the demon kings got furious and shot out a wave of fierce lights, shattering this empty mountain which had appeared from nowhere.

  In the blink of an eye, Lady Zhen’s 18 demon generals dashed into this area from a distance and attacked.

  A messy battle began!

  Hum… Su Han felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes again, she found that she was standing hand in hand with Hao Ren in a forest with singing birds and fragrant flowers.

  “Master, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t see Hao Ren again until he reaches the Heavenly Dragon Realm?”

  A crisp voice entered Su Han’s ears gently.

  She looked up and saw two kids who stood beside an old man who was quite ugly, and they were looking at her and Hao Ren in curiosity and bafflement.

  “Hehehe… I could ignore him, but I must save the girl,” the old man patted the two kids’ heads and comforted them with a laugh.

  The two kids who were as cute as pearls looked reluctant.

  When Hao Ren left Penglai Island, the two kids who were serving Zhen Yuan Zi didn’t like the fact that Hao Ren, a young cultivator who hadn’t even reached Soul Formation Realm, would become their uncle-master. Zhen Yuan Zi had told them that if Hao Ren came back to the Demon Sea as a cultivator below the Heavenly Dragon Realm, he wouldn’t be able to find the Penglai Island.

  However, when Hao Ren came to the Demon Sea suddenly, Zhen Yuan Zi not only revealed the Penglai Island but sent out the teleportation array to pick Hao Ren up. The two kids were very unhappy about it.

  “Senior, thank you for saving us.” Hao Ren retained his balance and said while he cupped his hands at Zhen Yuan Zi.

  When he was surrounded by a group of demon kings, an empty mountain with a teleportation array appeared suddenly on the sea. He knew without a doubt that the rescue had come from Zhen Yuan Zi.

  Although he had met Zhen Yuan Zi only once, the latter saved him as soon as he put on the Penglai Immortal Token, which touched Hao Ren’s heart.

  “Hahaha… It’s in destiny that we meet again.” Zhen Yuan Zi laughed heartily while stroking his beard. Then, he waved his hand, and Hao Ren and Su Han flew into the peach orchard.

  Su Han looked at the ugly old man in bafflement, wondering about his identity and background.

  “Qingfeng, Mingyue, go and pick two Immortal Fruit for our guests,” Zhen Yuan Zi lowered his head and said to the two kids beside him with a stern face.

  “Got it! Master!” The two kids turned immediately and ran toward the dense forest angrily.

  In their mind, their master was the leader of all Earthly Immortals, and even Soul Formation Realm cultivators must kneel and greet him with respect. However, these two young cultivators didn’t kneel to their master, and their master also welcomed them in person and gave them Immortal Fruits.

  The two kids got angrier while they mulled over this.

  “Sit down!”

  Zhen Yuan Zi waved his sleeve, and a few stone chairs and a stone table appeared in the peach orchard suddenly.

  In this celestial mountain full flower fragrance, there was no trace of the danger which was abundant in the Demon Sea.

  Su Han even doubted if she were still in the Demon Sea.

  If she walked to the edge of Penglai Island, she would see that the celestial mountain was hovering in the midst of the high sky instead of floating on the sea surface!

  Hao Ren could find Penglai Island last time because Zhen Yuan Zi had wanted him to see it. If the latter hid the Penglai Island, Hao Ren would never have found it even if he searched the entire Demon Sea!

  Su Han looked at Hao Ren and then at Zhen Yuan Zi before sitting on a stone chair cautiously.

  Her purple sweater and black tights had been soaked, but her clothes had dried quickly with the recovery of her nature essence

  “This friend has got a nice treasure,” Zhen Yuan Zi studied Su Han with squinted eyes and said with a smile.

  Su Han looked at Zhen Yuan Zi warily while her expre
ssion turned ice-cold.

  The two kids came out of the nearby forest with a fruit platter in their hands and returned to Zhen Yuan Zi’s side.

  When they saw Su Han’s cold expression, they were both astonished and furious since no one had ever dared to do this to their master!

  “This girl’s realm is only at top-tier Qian-level, and it is equivalent to peak Nascent Soul Realm,” They thought. They had seen lots of visitors of this realm, and none of them dared to be so disrespectful to their master!

  “Qingfeng! Mingyue!”

  Seeing the two kids glaring at Su Han, Zhen Yuan Zi’s tone turned a bit displeased.

  Qingfeng and Mingyue lowered their heads and returned to Zhen Yuan Zi’s side.

  “Friend, don’t worry. I’m a friend of your father, and I do not need your treasure,” Zhen Yuan Zi said to Su Han with a laugh.

  His magnificent presence was emitted invisibly. Although he didn’t release any suppression, Hao Ren and Su Han still sensed his ethereal realm which was beyond this world.

  Su Han nodded slightly and said, “I’m relieved to hear that, Senior. It’s not that I’m greedy and want to keep this treasure. I have borrowed it with great efforts and must return it intact.”

  Her answer was reasonable and well-measured, showing her good grace.

  Hearing her words, Zhen Yuan Zi nodded with satisfaction. “Despite the minor desire, you can still keep yourself aloof from treasures. That’s good.”

  He admired Su Han for not trying to keep the treasure. More importantly, she was able to suppress her curiosity and didn’t take this opportunity to ask about her father.

  “This girl will become a great figure in the future,” Zhen Yuan Zi thought. He was able to figure out Su Han after hearing only a few sentences.

  “These are special products from my island. You may try one,” Zhen Yuan Zi pointed at the two Immortal Fruit on the stone table and said to Hao Ren and Su Han.

  “Thank you for your hospitality, Senior.”

  After taking the two fruits, Hao Ren handed one to Su Han and stuffed the other into his mouth.
