Chapter 1725 — The Peerless Imperial Preceptor of Jingping
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
The dragon horse ran swift; from its back the Eastern Emperor's voice shook the sea as he cried aloud, "Cyan Emperor of the Eastern Heaven, do you remember how I broke you bare-handed in those years and beat you into a useless thing?
" His dragon-cry spread across the whole Eastern Sea; every soul could hear it clearly! "In those years you were honored as the finest Imperial Throne divine weapon under heaven, yet before me you were snapped in two, your cultivation shattered, your dao patterns broken.
" The Eastern Emperor laughed heartily: "I thought the likes of you were dead, and tossed you aside carelessly; who would have thought you had such a fate in you, that you could live on, taking root in some filthy place or other.
No doubt the soil was rich, with yellow soup everywhere! " "Toot — toot —" In the Eastern Heaven camp, horns sounded long and loud.
The Cyan Emperor stood atop the city tower, his face livid; he raised a hand and waved, and the Eastern Emperor's headless body was dragged forward. The Cyan Emperor sneered, "Pour the black dog blood!
" At once soldiers and officers poured basin after basin of black dog blood over the Eastern Emperor's headless body!
The Eastern Emperor halted the dragon horse and laughed loudly: "I come alone, one man and one horse, to issue my challenge, and you, Cyan Emperor, are indeed still the same craven wretch you were before, using black dog blood to insult my body! Cyan Emperor, you are fit only to be a stick of firewood, seized in men's hands and brandished about — good for nothing, useless.
A filthy creature like you, when men tire of playing with you, is used to wipe the muck from their backsides! " The Cyan Emperor flew into a rage and cried sternly, "Drag out the dragon race of the Eastern Pole Heaven and behead them!
Prepare the Dragon-Slaying Platform!
" Forthwith many soldiers and officers dragged the divine dragons of the Eastern Pole Heaven up onto the city wall, forced the sons and daughters of the Eastern Emperor Azure Dragon to kneel, their heads thrust out over the battlements, and one after another the divine and demonic executioners raised their divine blades and demonic blades, and the heads fell! The Eastern Emperor, entirely at his ease, laughed: "My descendants are scattered across all the heavens and all the worlds, no fewer than a hundred million — from heavenly dragons above to snakes and insects below, there is no race without my offspring.
Kill away.
Cyan Emperor, you are fit only to hide among ten thousand soldiers; it is contemptible. If you came out of the city to fight me, I would admire your courage — and then I would beat you back to your original form and turn you into a shit-wiping stick! " The Cyan Emperor could bear it no longer.
Gazing far off toward Jiang Baigui's camp, he instructed those about him: "I shall go out of the city and slay this fellow.
You hold the camp; on no account may you sally forth. If Jiang Baigui leads his troops to attack, you must not come out of the formation to rescue me either!
Only guard the camp well, and do not let the formation fall into disorder! So long as the formation holds, Jiang Baigui can do nothing to us! " The officers and soldiers received the order. The Cyan Emperor went down from the city tower alone, seized a divine dragon, and with a wave of his whip beat it back into its original form; then he rode the dragon out of the city.
The Eastern Emperor laughed aloud and charged to meet the Cyan Emperor. When foes meet, their eyes burn red. The Cyan Emperor's long whistles would not cease, and behind him heavenly palaces suddenly emerged. His heavenly palaces were unlike others: the structures within them took the shape of treasure trees!
Countless palaces piled and built up like a treasure tree — and he had no fewer than seven such heavenly palaces, seven treasure trees, of one root and one source!
