Chapter 368 -221: I Break Heaven and Earth with the Grandmaster’s Sword and Dragon Roar
The night was thick, with mist drifting and the creaking sounds of bones rubbing in the White Bone River.
Chen Qing sat in a chair at the bow of the ship, his hair dancing in the wind, a cloak embroidered with a White Tiger fluttering behind him.
His tiger-like eyes gradually locked onto Shen Changye, who immediately felt as though he was being stared down by an Ancient fierce beast.
Chen Qing looked out; the expanse of the White Bone River was filled with the opponent’s Hanhai Dragon Boats.
These boats were built using a complete dragon skeleton, although rarely from pureblood dragon species since there weren’t many of those.
Mostly, they were constructed from the scales and claws of creatures like Flood Dragons or Chi Dragons.
Moreover, some of these Hanhai Dragon Boats could nurture a ship Gu, making the vessel as agile as if it had Spiritual Wisdom.

The ships of Da Yan were different, much larger, and based on Mechanical Techniques.
Looking at the opponent’s varying sizes of vessels, they numbered close to a hundred, showing that Shen Changye spared no expense to block him.
These Hanhai Dragon Boats ranged from over ten zhang in length for the smallest to several tens of zhang for the largest.
Cultivators were stationed within, launching long-range attacks using Heavy Water Cold Springs, Dragon Spears, and Zither Sound Dragon Roars.
They invoked Wind and Rain, creating a tempestuous environment to suppress the enemy.
Chen Qing stood at the bow, observing the opposing formation; flags were flying, dark clouds swirling above, with a giant Thunder Dragon appearing fleetingly, showing just scales and claws.
“Have you found out how many people they have?”
Xuan Mang bowed and said, “About eighteen hundred people, with roughly twenty people on each Dragon Boat.”
“These small boats, as long as they don’t get entangled, with the Dragon Cavalry’s charge, they have enough power to flatten mountains and seas and easily crush them!”
Having been through several battles, Xuan Mang was increasingly confident in the Dragon Cavalry’s combat strength.
Chen Qing closed his eyes to feel the world and said, “More than two thousand four hundred people; in that black cloud, there’s also a hidden army of about six hundred.”
Xuan Mang nodded slightly, “It has to be you, otherwise our soldiers would have no way to detect them.”
Chen Qing said, “Still, be careful, I’m not always around.”
“Need to practice more.”
“The six hundred in the clouds, most likely the Heavenly Dragon Army from the Dragon Palace.”
“I saw their appearance; gills grew behind their ears, with fins on their arms and legs.”
“Their weapons seem to be spears, but they use them differently; they treat spears like bows and arrows.”
“These should be the Heavenly Dragon Army guarding the Heavenly Dragon City. I didn’t expect Ji Dang actually to deploy them.”
The Monkey glanced for a while and said, “Yes, that’s the Heavenly Dragon Army. I’ve seen them in the Heavenly Dragon City; according to Prince Wen’s description, this is indeed the Heavenly Dragon Army!”
“The Heavenly Dragon Army is extremely adept at naval warfare, and wherever they go, huge waves rise, making the sky seem to pour down a river from Nine Heavens, turning a cloudless sky into a flooded marshland, shocking like a deluge.”
“Moreover, more terrifyingly, the Heavenly Dragon Army is highly skilled in Thunder Skills, and the water is infused with Thunder Spears, lurking there, ready to strike at any moment.”
The Monkey took out the map of the area, marking the location and said, “This is already the main force of the Dragon Palace. Though the Jiguang Sect heavily damaged the Heavenly Dragon Army under the Master of Mortal World’s leadership, afterward the Ancient Dragon descended, and the Dragon Palace exhausted the power of the Four Seas to restore the Heavenly Dragon Army.”
“Today’s Heavenly Dragon Army is even more vicious than the previous Heavenly Dragons.”
“And Prince Wen wasn’t wrong before, the dragon spears aren’t for close combat but are used like flying swords or arrows.”
“Dragons are naturally immensely powerful, thus able to use them in this way.”
“Additionally, another reason for the dragons’ strength is the suppression caused by Dragon Roar, where those with weak wills would experience hallucinations upon hearing it, stopping in their tracks.”
Chen Qing heard this and seemed a little pleased, not expecting Hu Yao to have such capable subordinates.
This Monkey was indeed quite formidable.
“It seems the Think Tank is indeed knowledgeable. Is there anything else to be wary of?”
The Monkey went on, “There’s also the Ten Thousand Dragons Tide Formation!”
“This skill is a mystical art of the Dragon Palace, requiring at least one pureblood dragon to lead the great formation, with over a hundred mixed-blood dragons as the eyes of the formation.”
“Once this method is deployed, within a hundred li, it turns into a flooded marshland, with torrents of water pouring from the cracks in the Heavens.”
The Monkey became more detailed because he was well aware by now that Chen Qing could completely abandon them to flee if necessary.
The foot speed of the Dragon Cavalry, even the Heavenly Dragon Army riding clouds, might not necessarily catch up.
But they would not be so lucky.
Therefore, he had to do everything in his power to keep Chen Qing.
The Monkey didn’t know how significant Hu Yao was in Chen Qing’s heart, nor did he understand Chen Qing’s plans for the Heavenly Dragon City.
“Those hundreds of Hanhai Dragon Boats below, due to their strong Dragon Energy, are likely being used as the eyes of the formation.”
“They are likely planning to activate the Ten Thousand Dragons Tide Formation.”
Chen Qing’s gaze landed on Shen Changye, “They know we lack top warriors, so they brought Shen Changye to restrain me.”
“Second Brother, in your opinion, how should we defeat the enemy?”
Xuan Mang pondered for a moment, “That Heavenly Dragon Army has only six hundred; our Dragon Cavalry should handle them fine, but below there are nearly two thousand more, that’s challenging.”
“And if the opponent can form a formation, it will be even harder.”
