Chapter 14942 Heavenly Dragon Rider
Xia Ming continued, "The one that surpasses the Thousand Ghost Riders and firmly ranks first... is the Heavenly Dragon Riders, the national army of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom!"
Ling Xiao nodded. He already knew that the Thousand Ghost Riders were ranked second in the entire Chaotic Martial World, but he didn't know just how terrifying the Heavenly Dragon Riders, who were ranked first, were.
However, he didn't really care. He could make the Thousand Ghost Riders even stronger, and it wasn't impossible for them to surpass the Heavenly Dragon Riders.
As if sensing Ling Xiao's thoughts, Xia Ming's voice became even more serious: "The knights of the Heavenly Dragon Cavalry are all the most elite warriors in the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, selected from among thousands, battle-hardened, and unparalleled in combat power."
"More importantly, every knight has pure dragon blood flowing through their veins, and is born with the ability to control the dragon energy of heaven and earth."
"Their mounts are no ordinary horses either; they are all dragon-blooded warhorses with the bloodline of divine dragons. If even commoners are like this, their mounts are even more so."
"The Heavenly Dragon Cavalry of yesteryear were invincible on the battlefield, each rider capable of taking on a thousand men, sweeping across all directions without ever suffering a defeat."
"Even your Thousand Ghost Riders, which swept through the underworld, were completely defeated by the Heavenly Dragon Riders in a direct confrontation, and thus only came in second place, never to reach the top again."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "What you've said is ultimately just the past. Who will be stronger or weaker in the future is really uncertain. What I'm more interested in now is the current situation of these forces you mentioned... the Silent Extinction Court, the Barbarian Clan, the Demon Soul Clan, the Holy Clan, the Confucian Academy, the Demon Court, and the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom in the Chaotic Martial Realm?"
Xia Ming thought for a moment and said, "Most of them are now hiding and have disappeared. So many people in the Chaotic Martial World haven't even heard of these forces."
"Oh, that makes me a little curious. Why would a force with such formidable combat power as the Heavenly Dragon Riders choose to remain hidden?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.
Xia Ming sighed, a strange tone in his voice: "Because of your grandfather, Hong Qi! Back then, he almost wiped out all those top-tier forces that had ruled for eternity all by himself!"
Ling Xiao was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
"My grandfather? Hong Qi? Good heavens, I haven't seen that old man for years, and his strength has increased! Back in Tianlong Continent, I had no idea he was so powerful!" Ling Xiao's face was filled with an excited smile.
Nothing is more exciting than hearing news about your loved ones.
Moreover, Hong Qi is still so powerful.
Being powerful meant that the possibility of Hong Qi getting into trouble was extremely small, which put his mind at ease. Now, what he was most worried about was his parents.
There has been no news from those two for a long time.
"That's right. Senior Hong Qi was the most unique and feared existence in the Holy Hall era. No one knew his origins, no one had ever seen his true appearance, and no one knew the terrifying level of his cultivation."
"The world only knows one thing... those forces that dared not to 'reason' with Senior Hong Qi were all suppressed by him, and were even almost uprooted!"
As Xia Ming spoke, his eyes were filled with admiration and awe.
Ling Xiao laughed, countless images flashing through his mind, but he couldn't connect the carefree, wine-loving old man who liked to sit in the courtyard and tell him stories of the martial arts world with the words "world-destroying powerhouse".
Xia Ming ignored his thoughts and continued, "The Silent Extinction Court, the Barbarian Clan, the Demon Soul Clan, the Holy Clan, the Confucian Academy, the Demon Court, the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom... these high and mighty behemoths have all, to varying degrees, 'reasoned' with Senior Hong Qi."
"But Senior Hong Qi wouldn't listen to their reasoning. After he finished speaking, what awaited them was Senior Hong Qi's iron fist. After that, they all chose to hide and go into hiding, not daring to show themselves in the world again."
Ling Xiao laughed even more heartily.
He recalled that when he was a child, his grandfather would always sit in the yard with a smile, holding a gourd of wine in one hand, and telling him all sorts of strange and wonderful stories about the martial arts world.
At that time, he only thought his grandfather was an ordinary old man, a rascal who loved to drink. He never expected...
"Just who is this old man?" Ling Xiao murmured to himself.
“Nobody knows.” Xia Ming shook his head. “All we know is that he called himself Hong Qi, and that his greatest love in life was drinking, chatting, and pulling people aside to ‘reason’ with him. And no one could refuse his reasoning, nor dared to refuse it.”
"Oh, right, he has another quirk: he always brags about his grandson to everyone he meets, saying how amazing his grandson is and how much more reasonable he'll be than him in the future!"
Ling Xiao chuckled. This old guy really thinks highly of him.
It seems he needs to work harder, otherwise he'll embarrass the old man. With greater strength, he'll be able to reason with more confidence.
"Forget it, we can delve into these things from the distant past later." Ling Xiao smiled. "Right now, the most important thing is to deal with the Demon Soul Clan's conspiracy!"
He stood up, walked to the window of the meditation room, pushed open half of the window frame, and looked out at the gray, oppressive sky in the distance.
“That’s true. No matter how powerful your grandfather Hong Qi is, it’s not up to you. He can’t help you right now. Although the four of us sisters were sent by Elder Hong to help you, it’s a pity that our eldest sister is asleep, and the other three of us can’t unleash our true strength in this chaotic martial world.”
Xia Ming sighed, "I think Xing Wuji is right. The appearance of the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword will completely change the landscape of the entire Chaotic Martial World."
"In the future, some people will follow you, some people will take advantage of you, but many more... will stop at nothing to destroy you!"
"So, you have to become stronger. With enough strength, you can protect the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword and protect yourself!"
Ling Xiao deeply understands this.
His Moon Maiden sister is powerful enough that she can ignore everyone's words.
Anyone who dares to cause her trouble can be easily killed by her.
If he could be that powerful, then who would dare to covet his things?
“You’re right, I really should improve myself as soon as possible. The Returning to Truth Realm is still too weak! I absolutely cannot rely solely on the Seven-Star High-Grade Sacred Rune Stone. After all, that thing is an external object. Once it is cracked, I’m finished.”
Ling Xiao nodded.
"It's good that you understand. Then I won't disturb your cultivation any longer. If you need anything from me, just let me know, and I'll tell you everything I know," Xia Ming said. "By the way, don't use that Heavenly Fox Essence Blood casually. That stuff is too precious. You must use it at the best time."
"Sister Xia Ming, do you really think I'm a child? Don't worry, I know how to use it. Just relax and rest." Ling Xiao smiled, the image of the invincible Moon Maiden appearing in his mind. He wondered when he would be able to catch up with her.
