Heavenly Dao Child 350 Gathering Of The Strong Part-4

As he stepped up he was greeted with cultivators debating, meditating some were getting ready waiting for the scouts reports as he looked around he caught Zywia gossiping with her friends.

Ryuu was about to draw their attention towards him when all of a sudden a woman screamed, "No no no no…it CANNOT BEEE, my husband cannot DIE!!!!"

Her scream drew everyone's attention as Ryuu watched the woman's face distort with pain before she started crying tears of blood, many went quickly by her side to support he only for her to convulse coughing blood, before she pa.s.sed away. Ryuu stood there with his eyes opened, 'I had heard people say that when one of the pair dies the other one of the Dao Companion soon follows after.', he saw how the woman died while being full of grief, pain and anguish something that he did not like at all, as others crowded around them he watched many emotions from pity to sympathy, to boredom and amus.e.m.e.nt in some of the present cultivators eyes, but to him it was too painful to watch he could feel her orgains destroying themselves her dantian collapsing, it was horrifying too watch to him it looked as if she was tortured to death.

As he watched the woman die a memory from a long time ago came to his mind,

Celestia sighed as she spoke, "Ryuu you have to understand that for a cultivator their life is treacherous, you should be glad that you are learning from us instead of some school where if you remain mediocre no teacher will pay attention to you at the same time if you excel your fellow disciple would drag you down not to mention various kinds of dirty politics involved.", Ryuu nodded at that as Celestia continued, "Even falling in love can be dangerous as the other person might take advantage as such when the time to marry comes cultivators tend to be Dao companion rather than be simply married like."

Ryuu's brows scrunched in deep thought as he spoke, "But what is the difference in both the cases they are married right?"

Celestia shook her head as she spoke, "Well in a way yes they are both married but unlike when you are normally married if for some reason the couple do not wish to be stay together they can get a divorce but a Dao Companion is one where they may never have a divorce it is permanent not to mention it can only be formed when a couple truly loves one another and trusts each other."

Ryuu looked at her with wide eyes as he spoke, "Teacher do you know someone who is a Dao companion."

Celestia gained a serene smile on her face as she spoke, "Well your teachers are each others' Dao companion."

Ryuu looked at her with wide eye as Celestia cracked a grin she always liked Ryuu's wide eyed look before her face turned into a frown as she spoke, "Ryuu remember that Dao companion may sound cool and all but…."

Ryuu grimaced at that as he mused, 'Teacher I do not know why you said that when one of the Dao companion dies the other follows and it is better than one of them surviving but it is too cruel the way the woman died it is too cruel.'

But unfortunately here was no time for them to waste as Ryuu could already detect the dead bodies' movement because of the still active array and they were moving fast and towards them, as such he let out a loud clap drawing everyone's attention.

"Everyone I know that a tragedy took place but I am sorry to say there is no time to waste, the scouts were unable to activate the talisman I gave them but one of them did, and one of the underlying feature was to notify me of the health status of the fellow daoist brother and according to him he is dead, yet the talisman is moving and is making its way towards us at an incredible speed meaning the person who slain them is planning something so please do not let your guard down they will be here any second now."

At that many amongst them got ready to fight while a few had a look of skepticism in their eyes while the friend of the poor dead lady's stored her body inside their s.p.a.ce ring as Ryuu went by and stood beside her.

Zywia took out her trusted zither, which included her hidden rapier as she spoke, "How fast did they die?"

Ryuu's jaw hardened as he spoke barely above a whisper, "Before any of them could activate their talisman."

Zywia's eyes widen as did her group of friends as a huge roar came and from under the waves a few dozen of cultivators jumped up but their looks made everyone falter it looked as if various protrusions were growing out of their body not limited to bones, mollusks jutting out and covering their boy but it also had tentacle like protrusions making them look akin to some eldritch horror, not to mention their grayish eyes and blood dripping from their mouth.

Ryuu looked at them as his eyes widen as he watched the former scouting team amongst the lineup, as someone shouted, "Tear those abominations apart."

As the people reciprocated his war cry multiple humongous beasts suddenly surfaced as each of them at the very least radiating power of a peak level Mystic Immortal Emperor.

Ryuu grinned as he eyed his opponent as he spoke, "Zywia stay close to me no matter what."

Zywia nodded as the humongous beast swung one of its ma.s.sive tentacles as it send a barrage of spikes towards them as Frozen Ocean spoke with alarm, "Those spikes are poisonous do not let them touch you."

Ryuu tilted his head as his grin grew wilder as he spoke, "Well then we have to take them out before they can harm us write.", with his piece being said he swung his sword as the spikes were destroyed by his swing his sword vanished as he had a bow in his hand as he pointed towards the sky at an angle as he let loose the arrow as he whispered his techniques name, "Star Fall."

The arrow flew high up before a loud thunderous reached the ears of many as the sky itself lit up with blinding glow before it seemed as if stars were following from the sky as it collapsed on the beasts tearing while burning the beast itself as it let lose ear piercing cry before I collapsed dead.

"What are you all idiots waiting for kill them all the battle has begun already.", Ryuu shouted out before he crouched lowly as what seemed to be a bone sword swung above his head as he cut it as the creature that was made up of the scout's body screamed making Ryuu wince as his ears almost bleed because of making him growl but he did not have to attack as the creature was smashed to a pulp courtesy of Frozen Ocean, upon looking at her Ryuu almost let out a laugh as she looked kind of cartoonish to him seeing her wield such an oversized war hammer but he held himself as he send a small nod of appreciation as he looked forward as he watched as more and more nightmarish creatures appeared.
