Chapter 25 Dragon Soul
Although before traveling through time, Su Yu would occasionally leave messages under questions such as "Are there dragons in this world?", saying that he often received one-stop service.

But this is just a joke.

Before this, Su Yu did not believe that there were dragons in this world, thinking that they were just a product of mythology.

However, seeing such a giant black dragon at this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked and felt awe in his heart.

The sight of such a huge creature, whose power was enough to make ordinary people dare not look up to it even after death, made his heart beat wildly and his body tremble slightly involuntarily.

Deep underground in the capital of Dasheng, there is a dead dark dragon hidden!

This cave has existed for who knows how many years, and this dark dragon has been dead for who knows how many years!

Why does it exist?
And why did he die?
Why, no one in Dasheng has ever mentioned its existence in all these years!

And why, deep underground in the Demon Slaying Division, behind several layers of blocked entrances, there is hidden a giant dark dragon that has been dead for many years but whose scales and bones have not turned to dust!

Too many shocks and too many questions suddenly flooded into Su Yu's mind.

But at this moment, the phosphorescence in the cave suddenly went out without warning.

The entire cave was plunged into darkness again in an instant.

Thick and sticky, the darkness is as insoluble as ink!
Suddenly, a little light appeared.

Qin Shimiao took out a fluorite from his arms.

This fluorite was a stone he had picked up from the cave outside the stone gate. The light was not bright and only illuminated the area within ten feet.

The giant dragon also hid in the depths of darkness, and only an invisible aura of power filled the space.

The man was still sitting on the ground, his chest and face covered in blood. He looked up at Qin Shimiao:
"Master..."

"I'm not your master!"

Qin Shimiao's face turned pale and he looked at him coldly.

Su Yu glanced at the man on the ground.

He was also in his teens, and his originally fair skin now looked as pale as paper due to excessive blood loss. There were bloodstains around his mouth and chest, and he seemed to have been seriously injured.

According to the memories of his previous life, Su Yu knew that this person was called Shifang, had no surname, and was also an orphan.

Hearing Qin Shimiao's words, Shifang lamented:
"Master, I'm dying... Even though you're very angry and don't want to acknowledge me, ahem... I still want to call you Master!"

After Qin Shimiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy. He glanced at him and said:
"Weren't you killed by Sun Chushan?"

"all fake!"

Shifang smiled bitterly:
"I was absorbing soul power in the execution room, and the old goat... came quietly to devour me, and then Sun Chushan... wanted to kill me and take the opportunity to hurt you, so I pretended to be dead and let him bury me under the tree behind the Demon Slaying Department!"

"But... actually I..."

As he spoke, his breathing became rapid again. After coughing up a mouthful of blood, he took a long time to calm down before continuing:

"I did all this just to attract your and Sun Chushan's attention, so that you can focus on... fighting among yourselves and not pay attention to the things happening in the Soul Storage Building!"

Hearing this, Qin Shimiao felt a pain in his heart.

Qin Shimiao loved Shifang very much and accepted him as his disciple when Shifang was fourteen years old. After lighting the soul lamp, he always gave Shifang some opportunities to go out and paint souls, so that he could accumulate skills by using soul paintings from the outside world.

Who knew that the one who betrayed him and hurt him the most was this disciple!
After saying this, Shifang began to gasp for breath again, and it seemed that he was on the verge of death.

After a moment of silence, Qin Shimiao took a deep breath and said:

"You absorbed all the soul paintings and soul power in the Soul Cave, right?" Shifang's face seemed full of shame.

"You absorbed all the soul painting power there just to enhance your own abilities, and then came here to draw the dragon soul of this black dragon, right?"

Shifang nodded and sighed:
"Unfortunately, this dragon soul is not something I can draw... Although I lit up three soul lamps, I only drew one... dragon claw, and that's it..."

Su Yu looked in front of him, and saw a piece of drawing paper in front of an extinguished oil lamp, on which was indeed an unfinished dragon claw.

Qin Shimiao possessed the ten directions meridian gate and probed it.

But he discovered that his tendons and veins had been broken, and the breath in his body was like a candle in the wind!
He only drew a dragon claw when he was hit by the power of the dragon soul and suffered internal injuries, with all the tendons and veins in his body broken!
The soul power of this black dragon is so terrifying!
Qin Shimiao shook his head and sighed.

He also didn't expect that his apprentice actually faked his death to deceive both him and Sun Chushan, and then quietly came to the Soul Storage Tower, absorbed all the soul power in the Soul Storage Cave, lit up four soul lamps, and finally secretly ran here to draw the dragon soul!
As a result, he was killed by the power of the black dragon's residual soul!

"Who is the person who helped you fake your death, and then disguised himself as me and entered the Soul Storage Tower with you? Where is he now?"

Qin Shimiao was silent for a moment, then asked the question he wanted to know most.

Shifang faked his death to deceive Sun Chushan, and was buried by Sun Chushan under a tree behind the Demon Slaying Division.

But Sun Chushan is a seventh-rank demon painter, and ordinary methods of faking death will definitely not fool him, so it is necessary to use drugs to stop the heartbeat, blood flow and breath in order to really deceive Sun Chushan.

Then someone would have to dig him out of the ground and use drugs to wake him up.

Finally, this person used an extremely sophisticated disguise technique to pretend to be Qin Shimiao, and even deceived Qu Fengshan who was guarding the Soul Storage Tower.

Who is this person!
"Don't ask... Master!"

Shifang shook his head resolutely:
"I don't want to talk about these things anymore, and please don't ask anymore!"

"I know you can summon souls, but I... I have already... The power of the dragon soul's collision can... shatter my soul along with my death, so the summoning soul is useless..."

"The reason why I am still holding on to my last breath and staying here is because... I thought I might be able to see you again!"

Qin Shimiao gritted his teeth and looked at Shifang, shaking his head and said:

"Fool, don't you know that he is simply using you!"

Shifang smiled miserably, but looked at Qin Shimiao with an ambiguous expression:
"I know... Isn't it the same for you?"

Qin Shimiao was stunned.

Shifang's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and the meaning of his words pointed directly to a point that even Qin Shimiao was unwilling to believe.

He suddenly took a few steps back, as if he had been hit hard in the chest.

For a long time, something he had been unwilling to think about, even more unwilling to believe, seemed to have emerged in his mind at this moment.

“It’s…it’s her!”

As soon as he uttered the word "she", Qin Shimiao suddenly spurted out blood from his mouth!

He staggered back a step, sat down on the ground dejectedly, and looked at Shifang with disbelief in his eyes.

Shifang coughed again, blood foam already flowing out of his mouth:

"Master..."

Before he could finish this sentence, his head tilted and he was completely silent.
