Chapter 80 - 73: Subduing the Flood Dragon and Slaying the Dragon
Cheng Yi had never imagined that this Fierce Wolf’s greed had reached the point where, with a mere Qi Cultivation, he dared to plot for...
A treasure so great that even he, an Immortal Disciple, didn’t dare to dream of it!
"I offered you the position of Gang Leader, but you refused."
"I promised you Black Water City, but you looked down on it."
"I thought you had some great ambition, but it turns out what you want is to court death?"
Cheng Yi found it so absurd that even his laughter turned hoarse.
His gaze turned exceptionally sharp in an instant, his high-pitched voice dripping with thick sarcasm. "Fine! Since you want to see what’s in the river, I’ll let you see. Just don’t regret it when you lose your life."
He was just a Qi Cultivation Cultivator who could be crushed at will, but now, Cheng Yi didn’t want him to die so easily.
’Since he dares to defy me, I’ll make this Greedy Wolf open his eyes and see just what kind of existence he’s facing!’
The next moment,
Cheng Yi suddenly pulled out a handful of Awakening Pills and stuffed them into his mouth.
His consciousness began to connect with the Divine Thought left by his Master.
After making his routine, humble request, he slowly raised his palm, carrying an aura that seemed to control the life and death of the entire city.
GURGLE—
Following this movement, ripples suddenly appeared on the deathly still, pitch-black surface of the river.
The great river that enveloped the entire city and the South Suburbs simultaneously began to emit wisps of Fog.
This Fog converged toward the riverbank at a speed nearly invisible to the naked eye.
In an instant, the water churned violently, and an ear-piercing dragon’s cry rose from below, echoing along the riverbank.
"ROAR!"
This long cry alone was enough to make Sea-Covering Dragon stagger back two steps.
Gu Nanzhi, who was already suffering from internal injuries, couldn’t stop herself from spitting out a mouthful of blood. "PFFT."
Feeling the Spiritual Power raging within her once more, she no longer dared to hesitate, directly condensing several streams of Sword Qi and blasting them toward the Overseas Dragon on the riverbank!
CRACK. CRACK.
Without even turning his head, Cheng Yi waved his sleeve and shattered the weak streams of Sword Qi.
He stared coldly at the young man who was pretending to be calm.
SPLASH!
Amidst the dragon’s cry, a black shadow over a hundred feet long burst from the water, sending up surging waves as its intimidatingly massive body leaped from the surface.
This fierce creature, which had besieged Black Water City for ten years, had finally revealed its true form!
It was a powerful Evil Flood Dragon!
Its entire body was pitch-black, its head was ferocious, and its long, narrow eyes faintly revealed a sliver of violent intelligence.
Its scales were as distinct as solid objects, its four claws were as sharp as an eagle’s talons, and its thick, powerful tail was covered in upright scales, resembling a cruel, sharp weapon.
The moment the Evil Flood Dragon appeared, Gu Nanzhi froze in place, her face drained of all color.
The fear from ten years ago surged through her heart once more, causing her to tremble violently.
Compared to back then, the terrifying aura this creature emanated had nearly doubled. It was already faintly transcending its form as an artifact, infinitely close to the level of a Magical Treasure!
Gu Nanzhi nearly gave up all thought of resistance.
’This isn’t something that Cultivators of their level could even think of dealing with.’
’The gap is simply too vast.’
"Kill them!"
Cheng Yi grinned savagely and thrust his palm down.
His palm was already down, but the scene remained deathly silent.
The Evil Flood Dragon hovered in the air, its body erupting with cracking sounds as if its left and right brain were at war, yet it made no move.
This bizarre scene caused a sudden silence to fall over the riverbank.
"Hm?"
After being dazed for a few moments, Gu Nanzhi quickly came to her senses.
As if remembering something, wild joy surged in her heart, and she glanced around.
’Perhaps this Magical Artifact is so fierce that the Immortal Descendant finally couldn’t help but intervene?’
Sea-Covering Dragon, however, looked blankly at the man beside her.
She didn’t understand why such an unexpected turn of events had occurred.
"..."
Cheng Yi stared at the flood dragon in mid-air, shocked and uncertain.
Clearly, the Magical Artifact’s strange behavior was also beyond his expectations.
A moment later, his face suddenly twitched twice as he finally realized what the strange occurrence he’d just noticed was.
’That beast actually dared to damage this rare Top Grade Magical Artifact!’
At this thought, Cheng Yi’s expression became as dark as the Black River before him, so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
"Those tigers were right. You’re just a stupid dog, rebellious to the bone. You should have been flayed and had your tendons ripped out long ago!"
’If I hadn’t reacted in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.’
Violent rage, intertwined with the fear of his Master’s punishment, rushed into his mind.
He let out a long cry, strode forward, and formed a sword-finger gesture.
Only the purest, most vicious killing intent remained in his eyes.
Gale-force winds howled, and the ground along the riverbank was suddenly torn up and sent swirling into the air.
Like countless invisible steel blades slicing through the air, they converged with terrifying momentum.
"Hah!" An astonished look appeared on Gu Nanzhi’s face. The joy that had just blossomed was instantly suppressed by the gale.
’Even without the help of that Evil Flood Dragon, this Overseas Dragon’s own strength is greater than mine was back then.’
’He’s clearly a Cultivator who has been immersed in an Immortal Sect for many years!’
"..."
Lin Shu sat cross-legged on the riverbank, his eyes slightly closed.
His weak figure looked as if it would be buried by the Gang Wind in the blink of an eye, unable to cause the slightest ripple.
Under the gazes of the other three, a wisp of semi-transparent black energy suddenly materialized out of thin air.
It swelled explosively in the wind, dancing wildly amidst the dense flashes of the blades. Like a surging flame, it shot up to a height of thirty feet, enveloping the young man’s figure.
HISS. HISS.
Two horrifying orbs of dark red light lit up, like the eyes of some colossal creature, looking down indifferently upon the riverbank.
At the same time, a powerful aura swept out from his body, causing the wind blades overhead to halt in unison.
"I finally did it."
After a relentless, exhausting assault that lasted most of the night, the Divine Thought had finally been shattered completely.
The color gradually returned to Lin Shu’s face.
He opened his clear eyes and, through the layers of wind blades, glanced back casually.
