Chapter 4566 — The Dragon of the Five Balefuls Again

"Of course. Isn't it obvious..." The ghost thing smiled bitterly. It had been confident of slipping in unnoticed, but who could have guessed that Wei Zhao's spiritual sense would come along to join the fun? If the other's spiritual-sense shield were a door, the ghost thing had meant to enter quietly with a master key—but because Wei Zhao had barged in, it had turned into kicking the door down outright. If the other party still failed to notice that, then one might as well say the sun had risen in the west.
Still, the ghost thing had no choice. Though being discovered carried no small risk, by comparison it was more important not to disturb Wei Zhao's awakening of spiritual sense. In its view, so long as Wei Zhao was unwilling to give up this heaven-made cultivation treasure ground, he would have to deal with the other sooner or later. Being discovered was no great matter.
"What must come will come sooner or later. Then let's get a good look at what this thing really is." Wei Zhao quickly calmed down, battle intent surging through his whole body. Since entering this place he had had no chance to fight; now was the perfect time to test just how strong his early-stage Nascent Soul really was. Even knowing he was no match, he would still strive with all his might to find where his limits lay.
"Heh heh, fine spirit, but I think all that battle intent is wasted feeling." The ghost thing suddenly laughed, and its somewhat tense tone turned relaxed.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Wei Zhao looked utterly baffled. Before he could make sense of it, his spiritual sense had already withdrawn into his body of its own accord, so unless the other party came into view, no matter how close it was he could not tell who it was.
"Heh heh, doesn't a kid like you also find the other's aura a bit familiar and strange? I'll tell you—this thing really is an old friend. Your old friend." The ghost thing laughed.
"My old friend?" Wei Zhao was all the more bewildered. He knew very few spirit beasts—even counting the mortal world and Cloud-Tier Island together, they could be counted on one hand. Running into the great fire lion and the giant spider in the ruins of Aoduo Cultivation City had already been an accident beyond accidents. Could it be them again this time? Surely not?
"Roar, roar, roar!" While Wei Zhao stood stunned, the other had already arrived before him with a thunderous roar and a great din. At this distance there was no need for spiritual sense at all—even the naked eye could see it clearly.
Its whole body exuded an almost materialized, terrifying baleful aura that left one breathless. By rough estimate it was at least ten meters long, with four thick, sturdy claws, a long tail full of sharp menace, a pair of enormous wings on either side of its spine, and down the center a row of exceedingly hard, sharp, sabre-toothed spikes that made the heart quail at the sight—it was a living, breathing dinosaur straight out of the Jurassic!
"The Dragon of the Five Balefuls? How is it you?" Wei Zhao blurted out, dumbstruck. He could never in a thousand years have imagined meeting this old friend from the mortal world in a place like this!
"So it's you, human cultivator?" The Dragon of the Five Balefuls recognized Wei Zhao at once, and seemed likewise both startled and delighted. The materialized baleful aura and killing intent around it dispersed in an instant—it had thought some powerful enemy was attacking, never expecting an old acquaintance.
"How did you get to Cloud-Tier Island too?" Wei Zhao asked in shock. (To be continued) R752
