Chapter 599: Chapter 599: Blood of Flood Dragon

The Purple Thunder Tiger laboriously turned its head, only to see two figures standing behind it, one of whom was a young man who was grinning at the Tiger.

The two figures were none other than Fang Lin and Steward Shen, who had been hiding in the mud all this time.

The pair had witnessed the astonishing battle and the near mutual annihilation of the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon and the Purple Thunder Tiger from their buried vantage point.

Now was the perfect time for them to appear.

The Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon was already dead, its head ripped off by the Purple Thunder Tiger, whose own body was nearing death. Most of its body was already decayed, revealing a chilling skeleton. It was holding onto its last breath.

Seeing the appearance of the two humans, the remaining tiger eye of the Purple Thunder Tiger showed despair and hatred.

It never expected that after such a fierce battle with the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon, just when it was close to successfully obtaining the Demon Core and surviving, two human warriors would suddenly appear.

On any given day, it could have killed the two of them with a single swipe of a paw.

Unfortunately, the Purple Thunder Tiger didn’t even have the strength to move. Even a physically weak adult human could easily deal with it now.

Steward Shen looked at the miserable Purple Thunder Tiger with some regret, and his face showed a hint of shock.

He hadn’t expected that they would become the ultimate beneficiaries. He was even more in awe of Fang Lin’s courage. Had it been him, he would have quietly fled and definitely not dared to wait here in silence.

Fang Lin’s decision this time was a winning gamble; it was worth risking his life to stay here.

Without delay, Fang Lin naturally took the Demon Core of the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon from the paw of the Purple Thunder Tiger, wiped it on his clothing, and then put it into his Nine Palace Bag.

The Purple Thunder Tiger let out a roar of rage and despair, then drew its last breath.

Fang Lin did not touch the body of the Purple Thunder Tiger. After all, the venom of the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon was still spreading within the carcass of the Tiger.

Fang Lin moved over to the corpse of the Flood Dragon, took out a jade bottle, and collected a bottle of Demon Blood.

Despite being inherently poisonous, the Flood Dragon’s Blood was valuable. Lin knew how to refine the poison out of it, leaving only the purest Demon Blood, which was very beneficial for Martial Artists.

Besides, the Demon Bones of the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon were quite valuable. He might not need them, but he could bring them to auction houses where there would certainly be bidders.

“Shen, why don’t you take a bottle of Demon Blood? I’ll help you refine the poison out of it later. You can use it directly,” Fang Lin told Steward Shen.

Steward Shen was quite tempted. He went over, took a bottle of Flood Dragon Demon Blood, and his face showed some joy.

“What a pity that we can’t get anything from the Purple Thunder Tiger’s body.” Fang Lin said with regret.

“It’s already good enough to have gotten the Flood Dragon’s Blood. Being too greedy will lead to indigestion.” Steward Shen shook his head.

Fang Lin sighed, didn’t think too much about it, then turned to look at the river behind him.

“There might be some treasures in the river,” Fang Lin said, directly jumping into the river.

Soon, Fang Lin saw a dismembered skeleton in the mud at the bottom of the river.

Fang Lin was stunned. The white bones seemed unusual. The Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon had gnawed on a bone from this skeleton to achieve its perfect state.

“This bone doesn’t seem to be for eating…” Fang Lin mused, reaching out to touch the incomplete skeleton.

The moment his fingers touched the bones, Fang Lin was startled. There was a strange fluctuation from the bones, as if they were alive.

“How peculiar…” Fang Lin mumbled, but he gave up on the idea and tried to put the skeletal remains in his bag.

Unexpectedly, the skeleton remained motionless and couldn’t be stored in the Nine Palace Bag.

Fang Lin frowned, regretting this unexpected turn of events. He then returned to the shore.

“What happened?” Steward Shen asked anxiously as soon as Fang Lin emerged from the water.

Fang Lin shook his head: “I can’t take the skeleton from underwater.”

Hearing this, Steward Shen also felt regret. Obviously, the skeleton was not ordinary, but he couldn’t take it, which was a bit troublesome.

By this time, Steward Shen had already taken the Boundless Stone and the broken ancient mirror from the body of the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon. Fang Lin only took the Boundless Stone and let Shen keep the broken mirror.

“Let’s get out of here quickly,” said Fang Lin, and together they swiftly left the area.

Not long after they left, the Fire Burning Sparrow who had previously fled returned. After witnessing the demise of the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon and the Purple Thunder Tiger, the Bird was more grateful that it fled quickly; otherwise, it too might have fallen here.

Just as the Fire Burning Sparrow was about to take the Demon Core from the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon, it found that the Demon Core was already gone, and there were human footprints on the ground. Suddenly enraged, it realized that someone had beat it to the punch.

····

After walking for half a day, Fang Lin and Steward Shen found a cave. After setting up an array outside, they entered the cave.

Fang Lin immediately refined the two bottles of Flood Dragon essence blood, and the refined poison was not wasted. It was stored by Fang Lin in a black jade bottle for his own use.

Then, Fang Lin and Shen drank the Flood Dragon’s Blood and began to cultivate.

Fang Lin felt a warm flow coursing through his body. The physique that had already reached the limit of the Earth Element was once again enhanced.

With the continued refinement of the Flood Dragon’s Blood, Fang Lin touched the threshold of entering the tenth level of the Earth Element again.

Standing in front of the bronze giant door, Fang Lin steadied his heart and silently stepped forward to touch the door.

This time, Fang Lin wasn’t immediately sent flying.

Fang Lin’s face showed joy, his heart pounding. He exerted more effort in an attempt to push open the bronze giant door.

After two attempts, Fang Lin sighed, realizing he still hadn’t accumulated enough strength. Even though he’d made more progress than the last two times, if he couldn’t push open the bronze giant gate, he still wouldn’t be able to step into the tenth level of Earth Element.

Unsurprisingly, a single bottle of Flood Dragon’s Blood was unlikely to help him reach the tenth level of the Earth Element. It would take even more fortunate events to get there.

Of course, this bottle of Flood Dragon’s Blood did enhance Fang Lin’s strength. Although his realm remained unchanged, his current strength was not much weaker than that of Shen, who was in the fourth stage of the Heavenly Origin.

Steward Shen also reaped great benefits from this bottle of Flood Dragon’s Blood. He himself was on the verge of breaking through to the fifth level of Heavenly Origin. After drinking the Flood Dragon’s Blood, he broke through on the spot.

Five days later, Steward Shen completed his breakthrough, elevating his realm to the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin.

“Mr. Shen, congratulations on your breakthrough.” As soon as Steward Shen opened his eyes, Fang Lin said with a smile.

Steward Shen’s face was full of joy: “Thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t have gotten the Flood Dragon’s Blood, let alone break through to the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin so quickly.”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden noise outside the cave. The array had been activated, indicating that someone was attempting to break in.
