My Wife is A Sword God - Chapter 745: The Dragon Clan Ancestor - Cang Qing
The sudden change of events happened too quickly, and the remaining Gods and Demons didn’t even have time to react!
Until the crunching chewing sounds rang out, a chill ran from the depths of their hearts to their heads!
A single Divine Guardian was enough to terrify them to the core, and now another such powerful enemy had appeared?
How many existences could casually wipe out a Transcendence Realm cultivator in a single move?
If they had the chance to choose again, they would have chosen not to leave their hiding places and be drawn to the vibrant and pure Ancient Divine Breath.
But alas, regret always comes too late!
“Not enough, not enough!”
The chewing sounds ceased, black blood spilled, and a brutal roar came from the depths of the dark cloud.
The huge dragon claw emerged again, sweeping towards the Gods and Demons in the sky, and the targeted victims found themselves unable to escape!
At this moment, they were like fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
Is this like an all-you-can-eat buffet? Qin Feng frowned. How could he have imagined that there would be someone even more powerful than the Divine Guardian?
And when he saw the appearance of the dragon claw, his face instantly turned grim.
Because this black dragon claw covered in scales was exactly the same as the one he had seen in his previous dream!
Even the Black Qi intertwined around the scales, and the sharp broken claw tips, were all identical!
This uninvited guest was the true threat his children had to face.
‘His strength may be on par with the Divine Guardian’s. For safety’s sake, it’s best to take my children to the teacher at the Heavenly Tower and seek his protection,’ Qin Feng decided.
“Second brother, go and bring the two children out!” Qin Feng acted decisively.
“Yes, big brother!”
“Oh yes, the Longevity Lock, I almost forgot about this important item.”
Qin Feng immediately took out the Longevity Lock given by the teacher from his Spatial Ring, and just as he was about to enter the hall to hang it on the two children, he saw Cang Mu gazing at the dark cloud with grave expression.
The latter’s beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and her light blue eyes were full of worry: “It’s the ancestor.”
“What did you say?” Qin Feng was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly.
“The one who has come is our Dragon Clan’s Ancestor. He once protected the Dragon Clan during the descent of the Gods and Demons, and together with the human Saint, killed those Gods and Demons back to the Immortal Realm,” Cang Mu explained.
Qin Feng’s worried expression instantly turned to one of delight upon hearing this.
He had thought this dragon was also an enemy coveting his children, but it turned out to be a relative!
No wonder it had started slaughtering the Gods and Demons as soon as it arrived.
“Why didn’t you tell me this important information earlier?” Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Cang Mu was about to explain when Qin An returned, holding the two babies in his arms.
“Big brother, shall we leave now?”
The two wives also slowly walked out, leaning against the doorframe, their pale faces filled with worry.
Qin Feng nodded as he hung the Longevity Lock on the two children.
“The Ancestor?” Cang Feilan raised her head to look at the dark cloud where the black dragon claw was still raging, and the gods and demons were falling with each blow.
Her pale blue eyes suddenly widened.
Qin Feng, unaware of the severity of the problem, curiously asked, “The Dragon Clan has such a powerful Ancestor, why have I never heard of them before?”
“And if this Ancestor had intervened in the battle between the Dragon Clan and the Garuda Clan, winning should have been a piece of cake, right?”
Cang Feilan did not answer, but Cang Mu said, “Because this Ancestor had some issues during the battle against the Gods and Demons back then.”
“He was then sealed in a bronze coffin in the Dragon Abyss, and has not emerged for thousands of years.“
“Feilan’s father rushed back to the Heavenly Pool region because the bronze coffin showed signs of abnormality.”
Noticing that something was not quite right, Qin Feng swallowed hard. “What kind of issue was it that necessitated sealing your own Ancestor? Surely it was not just for recuperation?”
Cang Mu turned to look at him and said flatly, “The Ancestor’s mind often becomes disordered, and without reason, he would sometimes try to kill our clansmen, even swallowing them whole.”
What the…?!
Qin Feng’s eyes widened as he immediately looked at the baby girl in his second brother’s right arm, the delicate daughter was playing with the Longevity Lock around her neck.
“You mean your Ancestor has come here for…”
Cang Mu nodded. “I would have arrived earlier in the Imperial City to take care of Feilan, but a few days ago I received news from the clan that the Ancestor had broken out of the bronze coffin. I was worried Feilan would be in danger, so I’ve been on guard outside the Imperial City.”
“I thought I was being overly anxious when I didn’t sense the Ancestor’s presence for a long time, until today.”
“The Ancestor’s target might be your children.”
At these words, everyone was seized with terror.
Just then, the strange and cruel voice from within the dark cloud sounded again: “These things, after eating too many, have the same taste, not delicious, not delicious at all.”
“Hmm? It smells so good, it’s dragon meat, fresh and vibrant dragon meat, and newborn Dragon Beads.”
“I want to eat, I want to eat!”
“Shut up! Don’t you dare harm my clansmen!” A roar like thunderous sound shook the ears.
The dark cloud boiled, with thunderbolts and black Qi intertwining constantly.
Suddenly, a dragon claw covered in blue scales emerged from the cloud, clashing with the black dragon claw.
The powerful aura surged like towering waves, spreading in all directions.
“What’s going on? Isn’t the one in the cloud your Ancestor? Why is there another dragon?” Qin Feng asked in bewilderment.
Cang Mu shook his head, “I’m not sure either. The time when the Ancestor was sealed away was too long ago, I wasn’t even born back then. But I clearly heard from my grandfather that the bronze coffin only contained the Ancestor himself.”
“Give it back to me!” the roar sounded again.
The collision between the black and blue dragon claws became increasingly fierce.
“No, no, I haven’t eaten enough yet,” the strange voice responded.
Soon, the battle between the two ceased, and the blue dragon’s huge claw retreated back into the dark cloud.
Suddenly, Qin Feng and the others felt a powerful aura locking onto them, as if a great mountain had been pressed upon their shoulders.
The ground of the Qin Residence sank downwards, and the walls and tiles crumbled instantly.
The two infants, affected by the immense pressure, let out wailing cries.
But everyone’s attention was not on the babies, but rather fixed on the sky above.
The black dragon claw suddenly plummeted towards the Qin Residence, directly piercing through the barrier set up by the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher!
In this critical moment, the Divine Guardian acted, striking out with a palm, the surging Vigor Qi colliding with the dragon claw.
The heavens and earth shook!
The dark clouds were dispersed, and the sea of thunderbolts immediately dissipated.
The aftermath swept around, and the sound of cracking could be heard endlessly.
On the surface of the barrier set up by the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher, countless cracks appeared!
The surviving Gods and Demons were even directly blown away by the backlash.
“Hmm? You were actually able to block my attack, interesting, very interesting.”
Before the words had even left, a dark black lightning bolt appeared directly in front of the Divine Guardian, ignoring the space between them. The bizarre attack angle was extremely tricky, and the power was impressive, the space behind the black lightning looked like a bottomless abyss!
The Divine Guardian’s brow furrowed, and he pushed his right hand to the side, directly deflecting the black lightning. But the residual power of the lightning still managed to sever a lock of his hair!
All the high-level observers in the Imperial City were stunned. In a strict sense, this was the first time they had seen someone actually injure the Divine Guardian, even if it was just a lock of his hair!
The Divine Guardian raised his right hand, looking at his palm, the black lightning was like a parasitic disease, continuously devouring his Vigor Qi and vitality. He tightly clenched his fist, and the black lightning vanished.
He was not shocked by the bizarre attack, but rather remembered a similar technique he had seen long ago.
In the moment of his distraction, the black dragon claw attacked again. The Divine Guardian casually swept it aside with one hand, but he didn’t expect that after this attack, there would also be a blue dragon claw rapidly approaching the Qin Residence!
The sudden change happened too quickly, and Qin Feng and the others had no time to react.
Even if they had reacted, what could they do against someone capable of injuring the Divine Guardian?
The blue dragon claw grabbed, and its powerful suction was like a black hole, directly pulling the two infants into it.
The Qin Family members were horrified. The Second Mother even fainted on the spot from fear.
Qin Feng’s eyes widened, his fury boiling over. He unleashed his Divine Might and used the Immortal Technique “Seven Steps Trampling the Heavenly Formation”, gathering the power of all beings, and pointing a finger towards the dragon claw.
Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan, seeing this, could not just stand by.
The former, mustering her strength, summoned the Purple Thunder Divine Sword in her right hand and slashed towards the sky, the sword energy containing the Dao principles splitted the space in two.
The latter also mobilized the energy in her body and used the Immortal “Phoenix Fairy Fire Technique”, a fire phoenix spread its wings and let out a shrill scream as it soared upward.
Cang Mu and Qin An also unleashed their strongest attacks, all with the goal of reclaiming the two children from the dragon claw.
But in the face of such a vast difference in strength, their numbers meant nothing.
The dragon claw’s finger flicked, and the space was compressed into a barrier, completely neutralizing the attacks of Qin Feng and the others. Not only that, the backlash from the technique blew them all away.
In the dark cloud, the strange voice laughed, “Not only do I have the dragon hatchlings, but also a newborn male infant with such pure vitality. Delicious, it must be delicious.”
The Divine Guardian immediately shattered the black dragon claw and tried to intervene.
However, the Dragon Clan Ancestor seemed to have used some spatial technique, and in less than a thousandth of a second, the blue dragon claw had vanished.
Inside the Heavenly Tower, Xu Leixian exclaimed, “Teacher, the little brother’s children have been snatched away!”
But there was no response. The others only then realized that the familiar white-robed figure was no longer by the railing.
The dragon claw retracted back into the dark cloud, and a gaping maw appeared, ready to swallow the two infants whole.
At that moment, the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher emerged in front of the dark cloud, and with a soft command, he called out, “Cang Qing!”
As the words left his mouth, two golden lights shot out from the dark cloud, followed by a shrill scream.
The dark cloud slowly dissipated, revealing the huge dragon body, tumbling up and down in the sky.
The people finally realized that this gigantic dragon was half black and half blue!
There was never any “two dragons,” the black dragon claw and the blue dragon claw were from the same dragon!
Qin Feng, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, didn’t pay attention to this. He hurriedly looked towards the upper body of the dragon body, trying to find his two children.
He saw that the dragon’s neck and head were firmly bound by two golden rings – the Longevity Locks!
“Give my body back!” a roar came from the dragon’s mouth.
The dragon’s huge eye was half a crimson color mixed with strands of black Qi, and half a clear azure. As time passed, the crimson pupil also slowly turned azure.
Simultaneously, the black half of the dragon’s body was also transforming into blue.
Cang Mu suddenly understood why the ancient legends said that after the Ancestor fell from the Immortal Realm, he would become irrational and devour his own clansmen.
It seemed that some bizarre existence had been constantly battling the Ancestor for control of his body!
“Husband, the children are over there!” Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan pointed in one direction.
In the dragon’s claw, the two infants looked as small as a leaf on the vast sea, constantly in danger of being crushed.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher acted, sweeping his sleeve to envelop the two children in Clear Qi and gently returning them to the ground.
The weight that had been hanging over the hearts of the people finally lifted.
High in the sky, the struggling of the giant dragon grew weaker and weaker, and its body continued to shrink.
When the last trace of Black Qi dissipated from its surface, the figure of an old man appeared before their eyes.
With blue skin covering his entire body, gray-white hair, and two dragon horns on his forehead, he had an imposing aura.
“Cang Qing, so it is you. Devouring the Dao principles with lightning, has always been your forte.”
“After the battle against the Gods and Demons back then, you disregarded our warnings and plunged into the Immortal Realm rift, and we’ve heard nothing from you since,” the Divine Guardian spoke.
Cang Qing rubbed his head without responding, as he had just regained control of his body and consciousness after thousands of years, and was still unable to adapt.
“You knew all along?” the Divine Guardian turned his head to ask.
“I had an inkling of it.” As the words left his mouth, the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher coughed lightly, then hid his palm behind his back.
But how could this escape the Divine Guardian’s notice? He clearly saw the trace of crimson blood on the other’s palm!
“The art of divination is going against the heavens, defying the laws of the world. You have been practicing it for years, and it must have brought you retribution.”
“And the greater the accumulated karmic burden, the more severe the backlash – this, you should know better than anyone.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Heavenly Tower National Teacher replied calmly.
“To have someone in the mortal realm capable of devising such a sealing technique to constrain me, impressive, truly impressive.“
“Are you the Saint from back then? No, that’s not right, the aura is similar, yet different, strange, indeed strange.”
“Shut up!” Cang Qing roared.
The Divine Guardian and the others turned towards the sound. Cang Qing had regained his sanity, his eyes clear and alert.
But on half of his face, a new mouth had grown, and the strange voice was coming from that mouth!
“What is this?” the Divine Guardian’s brow furrowed.
The Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher narrowed his eyes, seemingly having a guess: “The Buddha’s Sealed Mouth?”
