Chapter 1178: The Woman In White (5)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The black dragon's body swayed a little before it fell weakly onto the ground. His body was so big that it covered the entire mountain's peak. Blood flowed endlessly and soon covered the entire ground in a rotten-smelling black gunk.
"She's so powerful!"
Feng Yuqing's gaze sharpened. For such a powerful black dragon to be rendered defenseless in her hands, just how powerful was this woman?
Gu Ruoyun's lips gently trembled as her eyes remained fixed upon the fairy-like figure in white robes. She could not contain herself from stepping forward as her gaze turned from its initial calm demeanor to excitement. Her heart was trembling now.
Is that her?
If that isn't her, who else in this world could possibly look so much like me?
However, before she could speak, the woman in snow-white robes stepped into the void and disappeared before everyone's eyes. She never spared the crowd at the bottom of the mountain a single glance as if she had not noticed their existence.
"That's right, that must be her!"
Gu Ruoyun's heart slowly filled with determination as her eyes stared fixedly at the spot where the woman in white had been. Her gaze was now filled with a new resolution.
"Since she's here, I must find her even if I have to travel to the ends of the earth!"
The woman in white had left too quickly, leaving Gu Ruoyun no chance to react at all. However, as long as Dongfang Yu was in the First City, they would meet each other sooner or later...
"The ruins should be right behind the black dragon." Feng Yuqing did not seem to notice the peculiar look on Gu Ruoyun's face as he turned his attention towards the ancient ruins to their front. "If my guess is correct, this black dragon must have been a spiritual beast placed here to guard the ruins! He would stop anyone from entering the ruins. It was a good thing that the white-robed woman had helped us to solve this problem. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we can't possibly defeat this black dragon even if we had all joined forces. However, I wonder where that woman's origins were to have such great power."
Admiration filled Feng Yuqing's eyes. He really hopes to have the power to slay dragons someday.
Gu Ruoyun smiled and walked towards the dragon which was lying in the pool of blood. She then took out the broken sword from the Ancient Divine Pagoda and slowly bent down.
"What is that girl doing?"
"Who knows?"
The crowd was shocked at the sight of Gu Ruoyun's action yet no one paid any attention to her.
Very soon, when they saw what Gu Ruoyun was doing, they were dumbstruck.
She had used the broken sword to slash the black dragon's stomach open. She then dug out the dragon's heart. When the bloody dragon's heart came into view, everyone stared blankly and even more foolishly than before as they fixed their astonished stares upon Gu Ruoyun.
"Lady Gu, what are you doing?" Feng Yuqing, who was also shocked, asked.
"A black dragon's heart is a rare treasure."
Gu Ruoyun smiled. This black dragon was not like the rest of the dragon clan. They were vegetarians and use medicinal herbs for sustenance! Hence, a black dragon's body, which has been tempered by countless types of medicinal herbs, was a treasure from head to tail, especially the dragon's heart. When one uses the heart to refine pills, it will bring rather impressive effects.
However, it was a pity that she could not take the dragon's body with her. Otherwise, it would draw too much attention.
Gu Ruoyun shook her head and put the black dragon's heart away. She then headed to Feng Yuqing's side. "Let's go," she said with a raised brow. "Let's go and find out what kind of treasures lie within these ruins."
