Chapter 152: Transformation into a Dragon
Cao Family Courtyard,

"Dan Ding Jue!"

Yue Lingke looked at Cao Ze, who was standing steadily in front of her, like a huge tripod, and was amazed. She could feel that Cao Ze was a little different from the one she had seen a few days ago.

He now seems to have entered a stage where his cultivation is improving rapidly, and it changes almost every day!

The Dan Ding Jue came from the ruins, and Cao Ze also handed over a rubbing copy to the four major families. Yue Lingke naturally also understood this technique.

This martial art was extremely powerful and was no worse than the family martial art they got from Xuanbao Pavilion. It was even better. Unfortunately, she had already become a master, and the price to pay for changing her martial art was too high.

Moreover, this Dan Ding Jue may not be suitable for her who is practicing the Hundred Mountains Divine Fist.

Suddenly, Yue Lingke had an idea and thought of another feature of the Dan Ding Jue, which is to refine all things!

It just so happened that she had something that would be of great benefit to the Grandmaster's cultivation, but it would make her own cultivation complicated and block her subsequent path of martial arts. However, if she could master the Dan Ding Jue, relying on its ability to refine all things, it would be able to solve this hidden danger.

Yue Lingke smiled casually. Although the thing was precious, perhaps it was meant to belong to this boy!

As a fellow genius, she knew how precious this time was to Cao Ze.

"The Demon Subduing Division is about to have a decisive battle with the Dragon Temple. Cape City is also not at peace. You are not strong enough!"

Yue Lingke reminded, "Recently, several warriors in the Refining Organ Realm with good potential have died inexplicably."

"I see."

Cao Ze's expression also became serious.

"It's best not to go out recently. Leave the resources to me, and you can just practice with peace of mind!"

"Don't worry, the resources you can use are no longer of much use to me!"

Yue Lingke interrupted Cao Ze's next words and said proudly, "Wait for my good news!"

After saying this, Yue Lingke turned around and disappeared into the courtyard.

"Wind Shadow Step?"

Cao Ze was secretly shocked. He originally thought that his Wind Shadow Step had been perfected and should not be much different from Yue Lingke's. However, he now realized that Yue Lingke's Wind Shadow Step seemed to have reached a higher level again and he could no longer compare to him.

So, above momentum, there is a higher realm?
This instead aroused Cao Ze's interest. As for the resources that Yue Lingke mentioned, he didn't take it too seriously.

……

"Damn it! If it weren't for that damn protective magic weapon, that old guy would have died in our hands!"

In a cramped hut in the slums on the west side of Cape City, a dwarf who looked to be less than five feet tall cursed angrily. He paced back and forth in the room with gnashing teeth, as if he wanted to tear off a piece of flesh from somewhere to vent his anger.

Opposite him was a figure wrapped in a black robe. He was indifferent to the little man's anger and just stood quietly in the corner, as if he had completely merged with the shadow of the corner. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to detect his existence at all.

"After failing this time, it won't be that easy to do it again."

After a long while, the little man calmed down a little, but his tone was still gritting his teeth, and it was obvious that he was still angry. "But those geniuses below the Grandmaster level can be treated well and treated well."

A ferocious grin appeared on his face, the meaning of this intimacy was obviously self-evident.

When they were assassinating the Grand Master some time ago, they had eliminated quite a few geniuses from the four great families at the same time, and were already very familiar with this.

"He'll be the next target!"

The short man took out a scroll, pointed at a person on it, and began to call out names like the King of Hell holding the book of life and death.

"The Demon Subduing Division is about to have a decisive battle with the Dragon God Temple. All the geniuses who have been in seclusion in the Four Great Families and Five Absolute Places have come out. This is a good time for us to show our skills!"

They didn't know what happened in the Five Absolute Lands, and they thought that these people came out of the Five Absolute Lands to prepare for a decisive battle with the Dragon God Temple.

"This guy broke through to the Refining Organs Realm eight years ago, and he had already achieved great success in Refining Organs five years ago. This time when he came out of the Five Absolutes Land, he must have already reached the level of a half-step Grandmaster!"

"If they kill him, the four families will be heartbroken for a long time!"

The little guy laughed strangely, turning his anger at failing into excitement.

"And this... this... this..."

The little man drew on the scroll one after another, and named the potential warriors of the next generation from the four major families one after another.

"There is also this kid. Although he has just broken through to the Refining Organs Realm and is not yet worthy of our personal efforts, he is less than 23 years old and has the potential to become a Grandmaster in the future. If it is convenient, we can deal with him together."

"It's exciting to think about strangling a genius in the cradle!"

The little man closed the scroll, having made up his mind.

"If you fail, flee thousands of miles away. This is the basic rule of being an assassin."

At this time, a hoarse voice came from the shadows in the corner, but no one was visible at all, "Now that we have failed, we should leave here instead of continuing the assassination."

The little guy sneered, "With our strength, even if our identities are exposed, what can they do to us?"

The man in black once again completely blended into the shadows, and no sound was heard.

The little man looked towards the corner and said, "I am the person in charge this time. If you disobey my orders, you know the consequences!"

"You must have heard about it, too?"

"Before we took action, someone had already killed the two masters of Tianya City."

"The organization obviously doesn't trust us and even sent other people over. That guy killed two Grandmasters, but we only killed one and let the other one escape. Then we will be outclassed by that guy."

"If I can't accomplish something, it's hard to say whether I'll be rewarded or punished when I return this time."

"Haven't you always wanted that Lingyin cloak?"

"If this goes well, I can go back and fight for you!"

The way to control people is to give them a big blow and then give them a sweet reward.

There was still no sound coming from the shadows, but he knew that the other party had agreed.

"The man in black? I wonder who the organization sent. I really want to meet this guy!"

The little guy looked out the window with a grin and muttered to himself.

……

Langya Pavilion, on the top floor, there were only three people sitting in the four seats in the hall.
"I said that the man in black should have been dealt with earlier!"

Lu Bohan spoke with a gloomy expression.

An hour ago, the four major families had agreed to discuss the assassination of the Grand Master in Tianxiang Tower at Langya Pavilion, but they did not expect that Bai Yuanze would encounter an assassination on his way here.

If it weren’t for the protective magic weapon that automatically protected its master at the last moment, Bai Yuanze would probably have died.

Even if they rushed there as soon as they noticed the fluctuations in the fight between the masters, Bai Yuanze was seriously injured and unconscious, and he would not be able to recover in a short period of time. Moreover, he was already old and frail and could not maintain peak combat power. After this injury, the Bai family was already in the process of handing over the next head of the family.

"The one who did it this time may not be the man in black."

Yue Zhenting spoke in a deep voice. The master who was assassinated was the master of the Yue family. Any master is an important asset of the family!

However, the bodies had been destroyed and the battle was too brief, so it was impossible to tell from the traces of the battle who had done it.

"Even if it's not him, he is still involved. After killing all the masters of Tianya City, they are now starting to attack our four families."

Lu Bohan was also furious. It had been decades since a master had died unexpectedly in Haijiao City. Today it was the Yue family and the Bai family, but who knew if it would be the Lu family's turn tomorrow.

Ye Bufan also remained silent. Although he had always admired the man in black, this matter was of great importance and he would not let his emotions get in the way.

"I can testify that the assassin was not the Man in Black."

At this time, a weak but firm voice was heard, and Bai Yuanze, with a face as pale as paper, walked in tremblingly.

Langya Pavilion is a restricted area, and only the head of the family can enter, so no one supported him.

"Mr. Bai, why are you here?"

Ye Bufan quickly stood up, walked to Bai Yuanze, helped him up and let him sit down.

Even though he always doesn't get along with Bai Yuanze, he still respects this senior very much.

"I have fought with those guys, and now I am the one who is most familiar with them. Of course I have to come." Bai Yuanze said while coughing violently a few times, his face becoming a little gray.

He had been seriously injured and unconscious, but he rushed here as soon as he woke up.

Lu Bohan opened his mouth to say something, but Bai Yuanze raised his hand to interrupt him, "Listen to me first."

"Those two assassins are from the Blood Demon Cult. I have seen their methods before!"

A look of reminiscence emerged in Bai Yuanze's eyes. When he was young, he had been to Donghai County with his father. It was that trip to Donghai County that made him decide to stay in Haijiao City.

"They are both proficient in disguise, and their strength is at least the second level of Dragon Blood Grandmaster. It will be difficult to find them."

Bai Yuanze himself is a fourth-level Dragon Blood Grandmaster, but due to his old age and frailty, he can only exert the strength of a third-level Grandmaster.

"The most urgent task is to quickly call back all the elite troops at home and shrink the defense."

It is not easy to find two assassins who are good at disguise among the tens of millions of people in Cape City. Considering the strength of these two people, it is almost impossible to keep them.

After the Grandmaster was on guard, it would not be so easy for the two assassins to succeed. Instead, the younger generation in the family who were at the Organ Refining Stage and Half-Step Grandmaster would be likely to be in danger.

Bai Yuanze paused, took a few deep breaths, and then continued, "A strong fortress is often breached from the inside."

"Zhen Ting, what do you think about exchanging the Jiao Blood Pill for the heads of those two people?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood what Bai Yuanze meant.

But everyone's eyes were turned to Yue Zhenting.

The Jiao Blood Pill is different from ordinary Jiao Blood. It is made from the essence and blood of Jiao dragons combined with dozens of spiritual medicines. It is a treasure that even the Dragon Blood Master covets.

If a half-step grandmaster can refine it, he can be directly promoted to the grandmaster, that is, the grandmaster. By refining this dragon blood pill, he can also condense another drop of dragon blood, and his strength will be further improved.

And if this dragon blood pill falls into the hands of a genius, it is not impossible to condense two more drops of dragon blood.

If it were any other treasure, it might be hard to attract people, but if it was the Dragon Blood Pill, it would be hard to say.

Even if there are people who are not tempted, how can the two assassins believe that others are not tempted?

Therefore, even if this Jiao Xue Dan cannot really exchange for the heads of the two assassins, it can at least make them withdraw from Cape City.

Otherwise they don’t know when they will be sold at a good price.

Bai Yuanze's strategy of using a high reward to sow discord was extremely cunning.

However, this Jiao Blood Pill belongs to the Yue family, or to be more precise, to Yue Lingke. It is a treasure bestowed by Xuanbao Pavilion after Yue Lingke displayed his talent and was promoted to Grandmaster.

Although Yue Lingke did not join Xuanbao Pavilion, strictly speaking, the Four Great Families could be considered as subordinate forces of Xuanbao Pavilion, so it was only natural to win over Yue Lingke.

Yue Lingke had kept this Jiaoxue Pill for use when he wanted to become a Dragon Blood Grandmaster, but now, they had found a place where it was needed more.

Yue Zhenting frowned and thought for a long time, then finally nodded.

He loves Yue Lingke very much, but Yue Lingke still has a long way to go before he can become a Dragon Blood Grandmaster.

The crisis of assassins is imminent. If they are allowed to continue assassinating, the four major families will probably become history.

At worst, they would have to pay a huge price and get a Jiao Blood Pill for Yue Lingke.

"In that case, I will not accompany you any longer."

Bai Yuanze got a positive answer, stood up tremblingly, and walked out of Langya Pavilion.

After saying so much despite his serious injuries, he felt a little tired.

……

Cao family,

Cao Ze stood in the backyard with his feet on the ground like a big tripod, his hands raised up and spread flat on both sides of his body like tripod ears.

This posture reminded Cao Ze of a movie he had seen in his previous life, in which he was absorbing energy from the universe!

On the contrary, Su Xiaozhi was sitting on a chair under the eaves, staring at the Wind Shadow Step visualization diagram in front of her, trying hard to comprehend the momentum.

Now that she has achieved great success in refining her internal organs, the next step is to refining her blood. She has been stuck at this step for some time, so she wants to draw inferences from one instance to another, and perhaps comprehending potential will help her make a breakthrough in her cultivation.

Unfortunately, she had been staring at the visualization diagram for a month and still gained nothing, which made her feel discouraged.

He pouted and sighed, secretly shifting his gaze from the visualization diagram to Cao Ze in the yard.

Su Xiaozhi grinned, worried that it would affect Cao Ze's practice, so she smiled silently. At this time, Cao Ze's posture was really funny, like a tripod.

She knew that Cao Ze was practicing the Dan Ding Jue because she was also practicing it.

Unfortunately, unlike Cao Ze who achieved success naturally, she worked hard for more than a month but made no progress. The Dan Ding Jue was not something that anyone could master.

On this tripod, there is a five-clawed golden dragon hovering, like a carving on the tripod.

This was the protection of the Dragon God that Cao Ze obtained after killing Qiu Tianxi. Now it has repaired itself. After Cao Ze mastered the Dan Ding Jue, it seemed to have some kind of miraculous reaction with the Dan Ding Jue, and it actually attached itself to the cauldron automatically.

The originally golden body actually took on a somewhat ancient bronze color.

But this not only did not make it weak, but it became much more solid and full of power, which was completely different from the one on Qiu Tianxi.

And on Cao Ze’s chest, five-colored light rotated, just like the movement of heaven and earth. The way of heaven is unpredictable and seems to be able to destroy everything!

Looking at the five-colored rotating light on Cao Ze's chest, Su Xiaozhi was amazed. It seemed that there was a power that went straight into people's hearts, making people want to sink into it. She was even a little dazed for a moment.

Bang!
Suddenly, a clear sound came from where Cao Ze was.

Although there was only Cao Ze there, Su Xiaozhi felt as if she heard the sound of a tripod lid being moved away.

Only then did she realize that the blood-red light on Cao Ze’s chest had completely dissipated.

hum!
At this moment, everything around seemed to become a little different.

Cao Ze's eyes blurred and when he opened them again, he found that he had turned into a carp, swimming in the sea.

At this moment, he was no longer the fragile and ordinary carp. His body was slender and agile, and every inch of his muscles was full of strength, as if it contained endless vitality.

The most eye-catching thing is its scales that sparkle with cold light. These scales are like the armor of a dragon, hard and heavy. Each scale exudes a mysterious and majestic aura. Under the sunlight, the luster on the scales flows, sometimes like the dazzling stars, sometimes like rippling blue waves, which makes people marvel.

His bones are even stronger and more powerful, like the tendons of a python, tough and elastic. These bones support his body, allowing him to swim in the water like flowing clouds and water, swiftly and steadily. Whenever he swings his tail, the powerful force seems to stir the entire water area, giving people a strong shock.

With a flick of his tail, Cao Ze swam forward.

Soon, he arrived at the dragon gate at the end, which was towering into the clouds.

This is a difficult challenge, but he has made countless efforts for it, and the sense of power coming from his body has given him strong self-confidence.

After taking a look at the dragon gate above with his bright eyes, he turned and dived into the seabed, then swung his tail violently, rushing upward with whistling waves, leaving a white mark in the sea water.

Wow!

Cao Ze rushed out of the water and soared into the sky like a heavy artillery. His body stretched into a graceful arc in the air, like a silver meteor streaking across the sky. His eyes were firm and blazing, as if burning with flames, revealing his unyielding determination and courage.

The sea level dropped rapidly in his eyes, the wind whistled in his ears, and time seemed to be stretched at this moment...

Then he instantly returned to reality and Cao Ze saw the dragon gate under him!
It's a matter of course!

His accumulation is already enough!
The moment he touched the dragon gate, his body suddenly underwent amazing changes.

The scales began to fall off, and were replaced by harder and more dazzling dragon scales, each of which sparkled with a mysterious light.

Its bones also became thicker and stronger in an instant. From the first section that jumped over the dragon gate to the last section, a transformation took place in a short moment, and it was filled with endless vitality and vigor.

An inch-long horn grew on its forehead.

Like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, he finally completed his transformation!

Ouch!

The dragon circled and danced in the air, making a deafening dragon roar. The majestic voice rolled in like thunder, shaking the entire world.

The waves on the river surface also rolled and rose with its roar, as if cheering for its birth.
