Chapter 188: A Break for the Demon Suppression Generals
Chapter 188: A Break for the Demon Suppression Generals
With the help of the ancient flood dragon, Shen Yi now had a rough idea of his current strength.
It seemed to be slightly superior to the top demonic beasts in the Pill Concoction Realm.
"Alright, let's begin."
Shen Yi shook off the bloodstains from his hands and turned his attention back to the scene below.
"What kind of monster is that?"
The ancient flood dragon's full-force tail swipe was forcefully pushed back by a warrior, and its astonishment was beyond words. It had never underestimated the Demon Suppression Generals of Qingzhou, even with their recent breakthroughs. On the shore were still powerhouses like Jiang Qiuluan and Youlong Tao.
Not to mention the martial arts master, the Qingzhou Commander.
Therefore, its original plan was simply to kill Chen Qiantian to repay the Demon King for the precious elixir, and then return to hiding in the Yangchun River.
But neither the Xuanbing Qishamen's sword intent nor its powerful Yin Spirit could compare to the bewilderment it felt at this moment.
Not only could this young man contend with it for control over the Yangchun River, but he also possessed an incredibly powerful physical body and exuded a bloodline similar to its own.
It was bizarre to the extreme.
The ancient flood dragon lowered its head to look at Chen Qiantian on the riverbank and then remained silent, staring at the figure clad in dark armor in the sky.
To have survived under the Qingzhou Commander's watchful eye for so many years.
Even with the loss of many of its brethren, it had never once acted impulsively.
All because of the patience in its heart.
Damn the Demon King, if he wants his precious elixir back, let him come to the Yangchun River and face me directly.
With that thought, the massive flood dragon slowly submerged itself into the water.
Suddenly, its pupils constricted.
The figure standing atop the river waves, clad in dark armor, vanished from its sight.
The next moment, the ancient flood dragon felt a sharp pain on its forehead.
Shen Yi casually pulled out the Heavy Iron Halberd, and amidst the spraying blood, he descended, delivering a fierce kick to the flood dragon's lower jaw. With the overwhelming force, the massive dragon head, akin to a small mountain, violently jerked backward.
He gripped the halberd with both hands and viciously thrust the crescent-shaped blade into the dragon's neck.
Zhi-la!
Aided by the azure light, the Heavy Iron Halberd effortlessly sliced through, carving a path from the flood dragon's neck down to its abdomen!
Viscous blood flowed freely, dyeing the surface of the Yangchun River red.
Shen Yi then released his grip, kicking the tail end of the halberd. The domineering weapon, like an arrow leaving its bow, penetrated the dragon's body with a thunderous boom.
The ancient flood dragon had never suffered such a huge loss. Stimulated by the tearing pain, its eyes shone with ferocity, and it opened its massive jaws to bite at its abdomen. However, the young man's figure disappeared once more.
When he reappeared, Shen Yi was already behind the dragon. He reached out and caught the Heavy Iron Halberd, viciously smashing it down onto the dragon's back!
"Roar!!!"
Under that terrifying force, the ancient flood dragon's colossal body lost control and crashed into the river, stirring up terrifying waves.
Its body convulsed, and it once again manipulated the surging river to crash down on the young man.
With its previous experience, the ancient flood dragon didn't expect to inflict any harm on this Demon Suppression General. It merely wanted to use the river's cover to retreat back into the depths.
However, the surging waves that rushed forward suddenly spiraled, forming a water dragon that gently supported Shen Yi in the air.
He stood calmly, halberd in hand, gazing down at the river's surface.
In an instant, a chilly wind swept over the Yangchun River, followed by a light drizzle.
The ancient flood dragon suddenly felt a chill run through its body, as if even its demon core was freezing. The raindrops that fell on its body caused the black scales to melt away at a visible rate.
A strong sense of dread emerged in its heart.
This dread came not only from the pain in its body but also from the all-too-familiar scene unfolding before it.
"You demon!"
The ancient flood dragon let out a piercing roar. Faced with the overwhelming sinister rain, it dared not maintain its massive true form any longer and could only transform into a human shape to attempt an escape.
The sharp roar echoed along the riverbank.
Countless Demon Suppression officers stood frozen in their tracks, their eyes fixed on the figure in dark armor in the sky.
Commanding the wind and calling upon the rain, gathering water to form a dragon.
Shen Yi stood atop the river waves, his presence alone quelling any thoughts of resistance from the water creatures.
In a distant village.
The widow, along with the madman, stared with wide eyes at the terrifying spectacle on the river. "River God..."
She had only measured him with a ruler on a whim, but how could she have... actually measured a true River God?
No wonder he had asked the villagers to consume the flesh and blood of the river demon.
It must have been a punishment for the imposter who dared to offend his dignity.
In full view of everyone, the dark-armored youth tossed the heavy iron halberd back to the riverbank, where it landed firmly next to Chen Qiantian.
Shen Yi, as swift as the wind, appeared just as the ancient flood dragon, now in human form, was about to dive into the water. With a swift stroke of his longsword, he sliced off the dragon's hideous head!
He took the dragon pill and extracted its essence blood.
[Killed a Pill Concoction Realm flood dragon, total lifespan of nine thousand to two thousand years, remaining lifespan of two thousand six hundred years, absorption complete]
By the time he finished, the flood dragon hadn't even had a chance to revert to its true form before Shen Yi casually tossed its massive body onto the riverbank.
Up until this moment, everyone was still in a daze.
"Thank you, Old General," Shen Yi said as he walked back to the two men, tossing the dragon's head aside and watching as it returned to its small mountain-like size.
It had to be said that Old Man Chen performed quite well. This ancient flood dragon hadn't fled elsewhere, saving Shen Yi a lot of time.
The dragon pill, full and ripe, contained cultivation that was by no means inferior to the combined power of the Blue Lion brothers.
"Ah?"
Chen Qiantian and Liu Yuquan looked at each other, perplexed.
He really had no idea how, in the midst of their battle, his weapon had been taken away, nor how his efforts had been of any "help."
"I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it," Chen Qiantian said, furrowing his brows. "Are you really the River God?"
"..."
Shen Yi remained silent, a strange look on his face.
Chen Qiantian bit his lip and slapped his forehead. Even as a Pill Concoction Realm cultivator, he found himself asking such a foolish question, like an ordinary commoner.
The scene before him was simply incomprehensible.
Not just to him.
Even the ancient flood dragon had cried out in despair, calling Shen Yi a demon.
It seemed that even demons and beasts couldn't understand what was happening.
Liu Yuquan could empathize with the old man's feelings. In comparison, he adjusted his emotions more quickly.
After all, he had witnessed a similar scene before.
It was just that a fox demon had been replaced by a flood dragon.
Just that...
Liu Yuquan suddenly felt like slapping himself.
How could he compare a Pill Concoction Realm fox demon to a flood dragon at the same level?!
"Anyway, the flood dragon is dead?"
Chen Qiantian lowered his hand, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
In just five days.
The thorn in his side for six hundred years lay dead on the shore.
Did this mean that he could finally relax?
