Chapter 2007: The Big Dipper Black Dragon Heaven Swallowing Art! (1/2)
Edited by: Michyrr
Wang Chong had never imagined that though his fierce attacks seemed to be suppressing An Yaluoshan and upsetting his tempo, An Yaluoshan was still draining the Central Plains Dragon Qi.
”An Yaluoshan, you're seeking death!”
Wang Chong's eyes chilled, burning with cold killing intent.
Bang!
A moment later, without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong pushed the remaining dancing girls off the stage with a shockwave.
His dantian vibrated as his Stellar Energy blazed, and his sword flashed with cold light. His Sword Qi became several times more powerful than before as he once more slashed at An Yaluoshan.
”Haha, Wang Chong, you can't stop me!”
An Yaluoshan suddenly heartily laughed in understanding.
What King of Foreign Lands?
What Nine Provinces Protector-General?
What did it matter that he saw through it?!
Did he really think it was that easy to stop him?
True, the dancing girls were really female priests he had brought over from the Eastern Turks, and he was not performing some whirling dance, but actually a ritual dance in concert with them.
But the dancing girls were merely the trigger. Just like how a firework no longer needed the initial length of fuse once it had been lit, he did not require them for the rest of the process.
Even if Wang Chong killed off all the dancing girls, he would accomplish nothing.
”Have a taste of my attack!”
An Yaluoshan heartily laughed.
But he chose to speak in a foreign language. An Yaluoshan was well aware that very few people in the court knew how to speak foreign languages, and the Sage Emperor was not amongst them. Even the vast majority of civil officials would probably not be able to hear what he was saying in the midst of the chaotic battle.
But An Yaluoshan just needed Wang Chong to understand, because he was sure that Wang Chong had a mastery of foreign languages!
Bang!
An Yaluoshan narrowly dodged one of Wang Chong's attacks, and then he slashed with his knife at Wang Chong, his attack carrying the howling of wind and rumbling of thunder.
At the same time, spiritual energy gathered around An Yaluoshan from the mountains and rivers, fusing with his Stellar Energy and rumbling toward Wang Chong.
”Wonderful!”
An Yaluoshan was elated at the sensation. This was an evolution created by reaching a certain concentration of Dragon Qi.
As he gained more Dragon Qi, he could extract more and more energy from the Central Plains to strengthen himself.
Cui Qianyou, Tian Chengsi, Gao Shang, and Yan Zhuang were all ecstatic.
Steal the sky and put up a sham sun! It's settled! Your Excellency, no one can stop us now!
Gao Shang quietly sat in his seat, a fierce glint in his eyes.
Bang!
If one looked down from the heavens, one could see sixteen beams of energy rising from the distant Youzhou. To the south, sixteen more beams of energy rose into the firmament. These all represented the plans Gao Shang had laid in the Central Plains.
These beams of energy resonated with lights in the capital.
In every part of the city, countless lights flashed in the darkness like stars, forming a giant formation. And the center of this formation was An Yaluoshan in the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal.
The Big Dipper Black Dragon Heaven Swallowing Art!
This was the formation Gao Shang and the Youzhou group had gone to great lengths to set up, one that allowed them to drain Dragon Qi.
The pillars of energy in Youzhou were meant to strengthen the earth veins of Youzhou and An Yaluoshan's destiny. The pillars of energy in the southwest were intended to bind the true dragon. But the most crucial of all were the several dozen boxes Gao Shang had transported into the capital. Some of these boxes were in residences, some were in inns, others at stores, and some were in government offices!
Each location was guarded by Youzhou soldiers and experts, and these boxes formed a formation intended to imprison the dragon.
This formation, combined with the formations in the southwest and Youzhou, created the Big Dipper Black Dragon Heaven Swallowing Formation!
In divination and geomancy, the five-clawed true dragon represented tradition, and it was superior even to the golden dragon. Meanwhile, the black dragon was the traitor of dragons, the rebel. It represented the changing of dynasties, the 'future true dragon' that would overturn the current dynasty.
The black dragon could only replace the current dynasty if it swallowed its Dragon Qi so that it could evolve into a true dragon and rule over the realm!
And at this moment, the black dragon represented An Yaluoshan!
Some of the Dragon Qi poured into An Yaluoshan's body, and another part was drawn to Youzhou to strengthen its earth veins so that it could become the dragon's den.
