Chapter 187: Battle Against the Serpent Demon on Yangchun River
Chapter 187: Battle Against the Serpent Demon on Yangchun River
It was evident that Elder Chen couldn't intimidate the Serpent Clan dwelling in Yangchun River.
These creatures had likely inhabited this place longer than the Linjiang Prefecture itself.
"Form ranks!"
The captains rose in unison, swiftly moving along the riverbank under the lead of a deputy general. Elder Chen was about to deal with the ancient dragon, a foe he had faced for many years. Since breaking through to the General Realm, he could barely match its prowess.
Moreover, Elder Chen's bold orders indicated that he had anticipated the Serpent Clan's retaliation and was confident in his plan.
The captains were tasked with guarding the riverbank, preventing other water creatures from infiltrating Linjiang Prefecture amidst the chaos.
The next moment, a black spine slowly emerged from the water, revealing scales shimmering with metallic luster. Its massive body churned the river, and a sharp, ferocious head suddenly rose!
"Roar!"
The dragon opened its enormous mouth, revealing sharp fangs and a crimson tongue that lashed out, emitting a high-pitched, sky-piercing roar!
The sound wave swept over, causing many captains to stumble, covering their ears in fright as they gazed at the river in terror.
Supported by its robust body, the ancient dragon's head soared over a hundred zhang high, and the black shadow it cast blocked out the sky. Even at this moment, most of its body remained submerged.
After many years, the overlord of Yangchun River finally revealed its might to the world once more.
The ancient dragon gazed down from the sky, its dark pupils glinting with chilling intent, and spoke to the figure in dark armor on the shore, "Chen Qiankun, who gave you the audacity to provoke me?"
It had received favors from the Demon King and planned to kill this old man after its breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, before it could emerge from the water to seek revenge, its opponent was even more audacious.
"..."
Chen Qiankun exhaled softly, tightly gripping the Muddled Iron Halberd in his palm.
The aura emanating from the ancient dragon at this moment confirmed the news brought by Shen Yi.
Even among the sixteen Demon Lords under Xiao Yue's command, with the advantage of Yangchun River, this opponent could still rank among the top three.
"General, what are our chances?" Liu Yuquan noticed something amiss with the old man.
Chen Qiankun glanced at him, "How long until Jiang Qiulan arrives?"
Liu Yuquan quickly calculated, "Half a day?"
"What do you think of me?" Chen Qiankun withdrew his gaze, refocusing on the dragon in the sky.
"Like an uncle to a nephew!" Liu Yuquan replied without hesitation.
"That boy is so busy; I can't count on him. Remember to offer incense to me annually."
Chen Qiankun closed his eyes, and the Muddled Iron Halberd suddenly slipped from his hand, emitting a powerful buzz before shooting straight up into the sky! The halberd that had nearly slain Zhang Hengzhou with a single strike now seemed slightly weaker before the ancient dragon.
As expected, the dragon revealed a mocking smile.
With a casual swing of its tail, the vast Yangchun River was stirred up, and ferocious waves rose dozens of zhang high, as if to engulf everything in sight! For such a terrifying beast, each movement spelled unimaginable disaster for the tiny Shuiyun Village.
The captains and deputy generals could slay demons, but they couldn't stop such a formidable wave, only managing to resist with their inner strength as they watched the sky-obscuring wave crash violently towards the shore!
Just then, the giant wave suddenly seemed to "freeze" in mid-air.
Surprise flashed through the ancient dragon's eyes, "Hmm?"
Then, the river water unexpectedly turned gentle, transforming into a long bridge flowing towards a distant village.
This bizarre scene left everyone bewildered.
Even the halberd shifted its direction, slightly sluggishly aiming at the village.
After a few breaths, a youth clad in dark, shimmering armor emerged from the village, stepping onto the watery bridge.
Shen Yi gazed at the dragon in the sky, and the river waves beneath his feet surged upwards!
Carrying him through the sky, he soared towards the heavens, casually taking the Muddled Iron Halberd along the way.
"..."
Chen Qiankun opened his eyes and subconsciously clenched his fist, "This kid! What's he up to!"
He was a Core Formation Realm cultivator nurturing a Divine Embryo, yet he didn't even have a chance to struggle before his weapon was taken away.
"General..."
Liu Yuquan slowly turned his head, wondering if there was something even more absurd than losing his weapon.
Both were warriors, and although General Shen's cultivation was much higher, this...stepping on the river waves and soaring into the sky, it was as if a divine being had descended. Which martial art manual taught such a technique?
A hundred zhang high in the sky.
Amidst the surging river waves, Shen Yi held the Muddled Iron Halberd, his scarlet cape billowing in the air, transforming into a crimson glow that illuminated everyone's vision.
He lowered his gaze towards the dragon below.
Suddenly, a sense of displeasure arose within him.
Standing on the Yangchun River, it was as if he had entered a territory that was incredibly familiar and dear to him.
And at this moment, a beast had intruded into his territory.
"Heh, I was wondering why this old dragon was so arrogant, turns out he called for help..."
The ancient dragon stared at the Black Armored Youth with a hint of apprehension, another Demon Suppressing Commander, but he seemed unfamiliar... No, suddenly, he sensed a strangely familiar aura from the youth.
Before the dragon could figure out where this aura came from, a blinding metallic gleam appeared in its vertical pupils!
The Muddled Iron Halberd suddenly shot out!
Infused with the power of the seventh transformation of the Immortal and Demon's physical body, it struck the hideous dragon's head with full force.
This colossal creature roared and fell towards the shore.
As the dark shadow engulfed them, the Demon Suppressing Bureau's officers all exerted their strength and fled to the side! However, the ancient dragon ultimately didn't manage to crash down.
The youth casually clenched his fist.
Several wide streams of water surged from the river's surface, coiling around the dragon's body like giant pythons.
The ancient dragon's forehead, as sturdy as fine iron, was now pierced by the halberd, its blood staining its terrifying eyes. In just one glance, it had sensed that something was amiss!
It wasn't the only one who felt something was off.
Chen Qiankun and Liu Yuquan, who had their weapons confiscated, stood on the riverbank, their faces filled with astonishment and suspicion.
Was this a Demon Suppressing Commander fighting a Core Formation Realm Demon Lord? Why couldn't they recognize a single move of Shen Yi's martial arts?
"Roar!"
The ancient dragon roared again, shaking off the water streams and transforming them into countless water arrows that rained down on the youth!
At the same time, its submerged body suddenly smashed towards the sky!
The water arrows, capable of shattering mountains, shattered and scattered as they approached Shen Yi. He fixed his gaze on the dragon's tail, which was incredibly wide and covered in scales, just as it was about to slam down.
He extended his palm and pressed it down.
Boom!
A blue light emanated from his slender fingers as he pressed them against the scaly body, his fingertips sinking into the flesh, inch by inch, empowered by immense force.
In front of the dragon's tail, his figure seemed minuscule.
He should have been crushed into the ground, but instead, a stalemate formed in the air.
A dragon with a body that blotted out the sky and a youth of ordinary stature were locked in a struggle!
Without profound martial arts or flashy combat, Shen Yi brutally and steadily forced the ancient dragon back!
Chapter 3: A little later, I got eczema, and my hands and feet are especially itchy. My fingertips are so itchy that it hurts when I press them on the keyboard. Traditional Chinese medicine is so bitter to drink, it really affects my writing. Apologies, everyone.
