496 Strange Changes to Incarnation (2/2)
”What? Why?” When he heard those words, the brute stood up abruptly. He shouted at the middle-aged man, ”Brother, this is...!”
”We are not equipped to handle this!” The middle-aged man looked at him and said quietly,”I've taken a look at the prescription for the Bone-Forging Pill; the ingredients are very rare. We may be able to find them all, but even with our influence, it would be impossible to get hold of such a large quantity all at once. If one Bone-Forging Pill alone would require so many ingredients, then the Pulse-Setting Pill would require even more. Keeping this would not bring us any benefits, it would only bring trouble to us instead!”
”But...!”
”Okay, there is nothing more to be said. I've already decided,” the middle-aged man said determinedly.
He knew this brother well. When it came to fighting, there was nothing to say. However, when it came to decisive thoughts, there was a great difference between him and Zha the Second.
”Alright!” The brute saw his determined look and knew that he had made his decision. He did not argue anymore and departed like a gust of wind.
”Strange, strange, this incident is very strange indeed. Since his power is so strong, then why didn't he just snatch the prescription from Second Elder at the bookshop? Why did he give it to him instead and then come back to kill him? I just can't figure this out. Did he perhaps have a reason for this? Then what's his purpose?” The middle-aged man thought of Zhou Bao's actions and found the whole incident too strange for words. It was a pity that he was not Zhou Bao and did not know what was in his mind. Naturally, he would not be able to figure out what was actually happening.
Zhou Bao's Dragon Chimera incarnation was sitting in the main room in the Immortal Inn. It looked like a wooden statue. Only the eyes had a faint light in them.
Suddenly, its eyes flashed with a creepy green light. With a 'whoosh', it turned into a black spot and disappeared from the room. The prescription on the table, with the ink still wet, fluttered in the breeze.
Northwest, Wuyang Region
Zhou Bao sat cross-legged on the stone bed. In a flash, a thought seemed to hit him and he opened his eyes. Instantly he shot out two bolt-like light rays, hitting a target about ten feet away from him.
In the distant southern sky, a black light quivered violently and immediately disappeared into his body. Zhou Bao took a deep breath and his whole body started to emit strands of faint black smoke. That black light was his Dragon Chimera incarnation. He was totally taken aback by its return.
He had not expected this at all. He had planned to make use of this incarnation to create a ruckus in Zhuzhao City. He was not even aware of this. It had happened so suddenly during his practice. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and the incarnation in Zhuzhao City had sensed unusual movements in his body. Hence, it returned immediately.
This was why Zhou Bao was troubled. After refining the Second Primordial Spirit, he was still not fully skilled in controlling it yet. In reality, the cultivation of the Second Primordial Spirit was extremely high. It had already reached the peak of Mysterious Realm. It was very powerful in terms of combat capability as well. It would not be at a disadvantage even when facing an expert from Venerable Realm. However, when he used it, he always felt uncomfortable. He always felt like something was not quite right whenever he controlled it.
This feeling was not due to the unfamiliarity between the body and the incarnation. It was the exact opposite; they matched each other too well, so much so that the Divine Senses and Dharma power owned by Zhou Bao and Dragon Chimera were all fused together. This meant that their contact became even closer. However, it also meant that they would be more likely to have an adverse effect on each other. Currently, Zhou Bao was exploring the Dragon Flame Technique he obtained from the Sea Area. It somehow became entangled with his understanding of Dragon Chimera Fire. Hence, his incarnation felt a telepathic connection and flew back on its own.
”This cannot go on!” Zhou Bao said coldly and a creepy red light flashed in his eyes. ”My body has possessed the Real Body of Zhuyan. Looks like the Dragon Flame Technique is not that compatible. Otherwise, there wouldn't be this huge misunderstanding, such as sending my incarnation back to me from thousands of miles away! This is too embarrassing!”
He felt the Real Essense and Dharma power in his body boiling furiously. Some were infusing and some were clashing with each other. Dragon Chimera's Demonic Fire, Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique's Real Essence and Dharma power, as well as Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique - all these were water-based infusions. However, Zhou Bao still possessed the mysterious Dharma power of Innate Deity in his body. He also practiced the Jade Original Power Gang Spirit and the Demonic Qi of Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan. These things, when combined, may be very powerful, but when he concentrated on practicing, it could make him lose his focus. This had happened earlier, when he was practicing the Dragon Flame Technique. He was almost possessed by the demon. If the incarnation had not come back in time to save him, he would have died from the clash between Zhuyan Demonic Qi and Dragon Chimera Demonic Fire.
”Seems like I have to make up my mind!” Zhou Bao sighed to himself. He straightened up and spat out a black flame. Suddenly a black light appeared behind him. A ball of black qi formed a dark cloud and hovered above his head. In the cloud, a pearl that flashed with a creepy green light could be seen. Around the pearl was the shadow of Primitive Dragon Chimera.
After Zhou Bao had spat out that black flame, the shadow on the pearl shook violently. Then, it pounced onto the ball of red flames with the speed of a lightning bolt. At the same time, Zhou Bao opened his mouth and again spat out another ball of substantial black flame. It enveloped the pearl and the shadow in no time.
