Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 219 ~ Holy Taoist Temple Owner
Lan Lihua's body increasingly trembled, her two eyes even emitting a bright light that towered upwards. At the same time the place also shook like a mountain was about to erupt.
Tan Hao did not think the effect would be so strong, even he had to take some distance because his body seemed to be sucked into Lan Lihua's body.
“The light absorption begins! Nothing can match the limits of envy and spite, only bright light shines through. I finally know what those words mean.”
But the unexpected happened when Lan Lihua had just absorbed less than half of the magma ocean's energy.
Tan Hao's sharp instincts immediately knew the irregularities that occurred, suddenly the magma sea was like something was sucking in the opposite direction. It looks as if it is pulling in the opposite direction.
The light alone caused Lan Lihua's body to groan strongly, the absorbed energy churning violently.
“Low man...! Do you think you can do as you please in this place..!”.
Tan Hao who had been on alert from the beginning had now sharpened his vision, using the eyes of the first stage god looking straight at the middle of the magma sea.
A large explosion occurred after the sound stopped echoing, not long after appeared a figure of the head of a large animal.
His body was invisible because it was below the surface of the magma but his head was very clearly tangible like a fusion between the lion's head and the dragon's head.
Having two long fangs, a pair of horns branched out while his two golden eyes stared intently at Tan Hao. The two strands of feathers under his nose were surging like candle flames in the wind.
Tan Hao stared intently before grunting heavily, “Kylin Water Fire...! One of the animals of the earth's natural legend! Didn't think I'd find it here?”
The figure that Tan Hao saw was none other than one of the sacred legendary animals of the Earth Realm. Fire Water Kylin who has the form of a four-legged lion dragon. Its body is slightly longer than a tiger, smaller than an elephant.
His emergence made the energy in that place experience enormous friction, Tan Hao immediately prepared lotus beads and also the sword of a hollow god after the creature came out of the magma sea.
Tan Hao had thought that the legendary creatures of the natural world had long died and were only a legend. The Fire Water Kylin that had a ferocious nature and unrivalled supreme predator became the top of the top ten legendary creatures.
That was why Emperor Chu used the name of this creature as his nickname.
Although his level was still below that of the ten heaven-defying saint beasts, but his strength was almost comparable. For that reason Tan Hao was in no hurry to directly attack, he knew it would be very difficult if he had to fight as well as protect Lan Lihua's cultivation.
“Bashful man...! How dare to disturb my territory!” shrieking the creature that was hovering above the magma sea, its fury was clearly visible from the aura of the body fluttering out.
Tan Hao used the eyes of a second stage god to ward off the aura of the creature's body, while one of his hands prepared a lotus bead.
“I have no intention of harassing you, we need this place to practice! I also don't know if this place has an owner, can you give us a place to practice?” Tan Hao tried to negotiate to avoid the fight, he did not want Lan Lihua to be disturbed if until there was another clash of energy that disperse the energy balance of Lan Lihua's body.
The creature snorted several times while writhing in the air before bringing its head closer to Tan Hao's face.
It was not that Tan Hao was unaware of the existence of the creature, his god eyes had even seen it when he first discovered this place.
His calm attitude makes the creature resist his actions, it can be seen from the way he invites talk rather than directly attacking blindly.
Tan Hao himself did not blink looking into the creature's eyes, “Nothing! I just found a suitable place for my wife to train. I didn't do anything wrong, but if you dare to harass her. That's another thing you have to bear, Mr. Kylin.!”.
“Hahaha ... You talk like you're in charge here! That's good courage. Hm ... But I'm not that soft on humans! I might be able to let you guys, but what advantage can I get!”
In his heart, Tan Hao felt strange. Because the creature in front of him is not as it is told. If this animal was a vicious predator, it wasn't long ago that he and Lan Lihua were the targets of his rampage but that didn't happen.
A moment later he realized that the animal had lost its tail. According to Tan Hao, his missing tail may be the cause of the legendary animal is not as aggressive as reported.
“I can give you what you need if I have it! There is no grudge between us, so it's best that this isn't a problem..!” Tan Hao restrained his actions and acted as calmly as possible while his gaze was not sidetracked in the slightest.
Tan Hao did not expect that the legendary beast would gradually lower its murderous aura, but it did not let him off guard.
“You're the first human who dared to talk to me, I didn't expect to find someone as fearless as you!” said the legendary animal while pulling back its head.
The legendary animal then began to tell stories without Tan Hao asking, although he felt strange but Tan Hao breathed a sigh of relief. That way he calmed down because Lan Lihua could continue her training without interruption.
Tan Hao could not guess the legendary animal's motive why it was so easy to be kind. Even though the story told him was already known.
Shortly thereafter, the legendary animal changed shape to become smaller after explaining about the sacred tao pagoda.
“... And that's why I may be the last remaining legendary creature existence, how many hundred years have passed and I am currently talking to humans ... Hahaha, that's ridiculous,” he said with a laugh.
Its small form the size of a jungle cat makes it look so funny with a blend of colorless fur. While his feet did not trace to the ground but floated with blue flames like clouds on his four legs.
Tan Hao kept back his sword, he had no idea if reality was so different from what was being reported. The animal in front of him not only looks funny but also does not look ferocious at all.
“Then? What do you want?” tanya Tan Hao behaved normally after closing his god eyes.
“Gold! I just need gold! Can you give me gold, yeah ... That's arguably for the cost of your wife sleeping there? Isn't that natural as the owner of this inn hahaha...!”.
The originally serious face of Tan Hao suddenly became very stupid to hear the statement of the creature who still did not want to mention his name. He was completely out of reason to understand the change in attitude that occurred.
‘How long has it been since I have enjoyed gold, this human might be able to give me that good food in large quantities, hahaha didn't my appearance look cool, the creature's inner’ was accompanied by sneaky laughter.
