Dragon Tamer-Chapter 535: 537: Claiming the Hung Corpse
Chapter 535 -537: Claiming the Hung Corpse
“`
The Temple Master of Mouse Despise Daoist Temple hadn’t died instantly. He looked at Nan Lingsha with disbelief, as just a moment before, the licentious Temple Master had been full of delusions about her. But now, he felt as though he were staring at Yama, the Judge himself, as his life rapidly ebbed away. There was regret at the prospect of death along with immense pain, contorting his face grotesquely!
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
The flying brushes pierced the heads of the people from Mouse Despise Daoist Temple one after another, some through the forehead, some through the face, and some through the throat…
Each strike was fatal!
Nan Lingsha stood there quietly, her jade arms naturally hanging at her sides, her feet elegantly poised, maintaining a classical and dignified posture as if she were merely admiring the clouds, trees, and sniffing the fragrance of spring flowers.
Yet, the scene before her was one of utter horror, as several murderous ink brushes penetrated the skulls of individual members of Mouse Despise Daoist Temple, one after another. As they fell, their faces were filled with terror, probably because, from the start, like the Temple Master, they had thought this excessively beautiful woman was nothing but a delicate vase, whose touch even felt weak and soft, that with a laugh, they could pull into their embrace and wantonly ravage…
However, what they saw before dying was an indifferent face, mercilessly killing without even blinking an eye!
The Nan Family members were also stunned.
After all, these were the top experts of an entire force, and they had been killed by Nan Lingsha in such a short amount of time??
At this moment, Ling Tu finally understood what Nan Lingsha meant by her previous words.
Indeed, a few had not died, simply because they stood a little far off, guarding near the Silver Fir.
Ling Tu did not dare to be negligent, fearing that if those few fish that slipped the net ran into the Sacred Forest to leak information, it would be hard for their Nan Family to escape.
Ling Tu and the others gave chase, neatly dealing with the last few people from Mouse Despise Daoist Temple, making the forest suddenly much quieter. The only discordant note was the bodies scattered on the ground, at odds with the sanctity of the forest.
“Miss, shall we flee now?” Ling Tu asked.
“Why should we flee?” Nan Lingsha said.
“Those from Mouse Despise Daoist Temple were just minor characters. The ones who stepped into the Sacred Forest earlier are the real powerhouse fighters, especially that Elder Chen, who is feared to be at the King Level Cultivation Base, as the legends say. Even if you can compete with him to some extent, it would be very difficult for the rest of us to deal with his subordinates,” Ling Tu said.
After all, they were relatively weak.
The emergence of the Supreme Court Continent had completely disrupted the original balance of Li Chuan.
In the past, as long as one’s cultivation base reached Monarch Level, one would be an eternal overlord in Li Chuan, but on the Supreme Court Continent, Monarch Level was nothing more than a high-level figure within some forces, not even considered among the continent’s powerhouses. Although they had improved in recent years, they were far behind those legacies with stronger inheritances.
Of course, if they could manage the Nan Family Sacred Forest well, they might have had a chance to compete with these people.
“Great Protector, gather some people to drag the bodies out of the forest and hang them outside our Nan Family Residence,” Nan Lingsha said to the Great Protector in charge of guarding the Sacred Forest.
“What?” The Great Protector thought he had heard wrong.
“The Sacred Forest has a Guardian Beast that should have taken care of those people. Go on, do as I said, hang the bodies outside the residence, and spread the word. If anyone dares covet the Nan Family Sacred Forest, the Great Zhou Clan’s Elder Chen will meet their fate!” Nan Lingsha said.
Although the Great Protector couldn’t believe what Nan Lingsha was saying, he still led a group of people into the Sacred Forest.
As soon as they entered the Silver Fir Sacred Forest, the Great Protector and the other protectors showed looks of horror.
One body after another, all of them were the top experts of the Great Zhou Clan.
“`
And those followers from the minor sects, they all met horrific deaths as well, their conditions extremely bizarre.
What was most unbelievable was that Elder Chen, who possessed a king-level cultivation base, was also gasping for his last breaths!
Before arriving, Elder Chen was full of pride and arrogance, utterly dismissive of the Li Chuan family, looking down on them as if they were nothing more than abandoned peasants.
But now, Elder Chen was leaning against a silver fir tree, with a ghastly wound torn across his chest. His eyes were filled with panic as he gazed at the canopy, as if he were being chased by a demon, his body and soul tortured and shattered! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Everyone else was dead, and only Elder Chen, relying on his near-king-level cultivation, was still struggling desperately. But it was evident that his death was just a matter of time.
There was a creature in the Sacred Forest that filled Elder Chen with extreme terror, toying with him, playing a cruel game of chase!
Several protectors felt a chill run down their spines and feared they would be implicated, so they hurriedly fled.
After waiting outside the Sacred Forest for a while, they finally heard an extremely piercing scream coming from somewhere within it.
It was Elder Chen’s voice.
He had finally been killed by that devil.
The scream, eerily, carried a hint of relief, as if even Elder Chen could no longer bear the torment!
Following Nan Lingsha’s instructions, they cleared out the corpses from the Sacred Forest and cleaned up the place…
The bodies were also put on display, waiting for the various sects to come and claim them.
It didn’t take long for word of this to spread; the powers that had trickled into Li Chuan were deeply shocked.
This insignificant Li Chuan was actually a hidden dragon crouching tiger; a leading family of Ancestral Dragon City was able to annihilate so many experts from various sects, and even a person of king-level realm did not escape their deadly fate.
“It’s a disgrace to the ancestors, brazenly invading others’ territory, and then getting killed, with their bodies strung up for display,”
“That Elder Chen, who was from the Great Zhou Clan, I heard that they immediately disavowed him, claiming he was no longer a member of their clan, the Great Zhou Clan didn’t even have the face to claim the body. But it was the Divine Bow Sect and the Thief’s Daoist Temple that took their members back, with apologies and tributes…”
“I heard that the one in charge of the Nan family is Nan Lingsha, a painter who is both divine and mortal, with an extremely high cultivation base, and she is known as one of the two female heroes of Li Chuan alongside the ruling Female Monarch.”
“It is said that they are twin sisters and look exactly alike.”
“Really? Does that mean they are both breathtakingly beautiful?”
“Of course, if you go to the teahouses in Ancestral Dragon City, it’s all explosive topics!”
…
Nan Lingsha’s decision to have these sects come to claim the bodies indeed had a significant deterrent effect.
The existence of the Nan Family Sacred Forest was not top secret; the old residents of the Ancestral Dragon City-State all knew about it and were aware that it was a breeding ground for holy dragons.
Anyone who knew the secret of the Time Wave would target the Nan Family Sacred Forest first. Having people delivery themselves to death like this actually saved a lot of trouble, preventing Nan Lingsha from being tied down in the Sacred Forest, which would keep her from claiming… from defending other precious spiritual resources.
In recent days, her sister Yu Suo had been in deep slumber, and Nan Lingsha’s cultivation base had indeed improved quickly. The arrival of the World Dragon Gate had brought her great benefits, but her sister Yu Suo had not enjoyed such favor. She needed to gather enough rich spiritual resources for her sister’s dragons.
