Chapter 613: Competing with Humans in Cruelty, Battling Beasts with Intelligence
"We understand."
Facing Shen Yi's respectful gesture, Ji Jingxi suddenly perceived the tension hidden in his eyes.
She reached out and grabbed Ye Jiu, who was about to rush back with his sword.
This was the first time the Nanyang Sect Leader had chosen to trust them, so naturally, they should believe in him as well.
They believed that he could rely on his own strength, residing above the Dragon Cavern, and annihilate the entire Western Dragon Palace!
"Tonight, not a single water creature will leave this area alive."
Ji Jingxi, on behalf of her two senior brothers, made a vow to the young man in the black robe.
Then, she turned and transformed into moonlight, disappearing.
Ye Jiu and Qi Yan Sheng were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and sighed softly, simultaneously transforming into streams of light and parting ways.
The Nanyang Sect had issued a decree, how could the Seven Sects not comply!
At the same time, the other two gradually regained their senses.
"Didn't he just obtain this array diagram?"
Prince Ziyang looked at the peach blossoms above with a solemn expression. The dark waters seemed like a deep night sky, illuminated by countless stars, and the entire grand array was seamlessly integrated, leaving no room for criticism.
To put it bluntly, even if the seventeen Sect Leaders of the Boundless Dao Emperor Sect personally came to set up the array, they might not be able to achieve such a harmonious effect.
"Perhaps he is indeed a reincarnated old ghost of the Boundless Dao Emperor Sect."
"Because he was marginalized and wronged to death, he plans to live a new life and make a comeback..."
Zi Xian muttered to herself, already imagining a grand drama of grudges.
It was only when her brother glanced at her with a look that suggested she was an idiot that she sheepishly abandoned her thoughts. Indeed, the Boundless Dao Emperor Sect's cultivators were so eager to be the lapdogs of Hongze Great Immortal that they would never dare to utter the words 'slaying immortals.'
"Can he win?"
Zi Xian was only at the intermediate stage of the Heaven Realm, and with her discernment, she couldn't even determine who had the upper hand at the moment.
Hearing this, Prince Ziyang hesitated for a moment and shook his head uncertainly, "It's hard to say."
Although the Greedy Wolf Star Chart was powerful, the Western Dragon Cavern was not so easily dealt with. Countless dragon bones were buried within, and the surging aura they emanated was continuous and unceasing.
Even if temporarily suppressed by the immortal array, with its limitations, this immortal array consumed the cultivator's aura.
How could seventeen strong cultivators compare to the heritage of the Jade Horned Silver Dragon that had been passed down for generations?
"Then why aren't you helping?"
Zi Xian pushed her brother forcefully, her heart filled with indescribable excitement.
With the group of thugs from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall causing trouble, they had thought that their father's plan would have to be put on hold. But unexpectedly, they met Shen Yi, this lucky star.
Now it seemed that they were only one evening away from gathering three Dragon Seals.
"..."
Prince Ziyang bit his teeth, hesitating.
For some reason, he had a bad premonition in his heart. His father was a wise and illustrious ruler, but this time, they were dealing with an immortal. Therefore, he had never truly supported this plan.
But... they were just one step away!
All they needed to do was reach out, a distance of a few inches.
Of course, Prince Ziyang's hesitation had another reason. Every time he planned to help Shen Yi, the outcome would be somewhat embarrassing.
"Huff."
He reached out and touched the Dragon Seal, as if making a firm decision, and clenched his palm tightly.
"Brother Shen, I'll assist you!"
Prince Ziyang exhaled and stepped forward boldly.
As a cultivator at the Perfect Heaven Realm, he unleashed his aura without restraint. As the Eastern Dragon Palace's prince, in terms of cultivation realm alone, he was the strongest in the field.
However, as soon as he took a step forward, he instinctively covered his face with his arm.
The peach blossoms in the sky began to spin rapidly, and the glowing dots illuminated the surging water currents. But instead of attacking the numerous dragon demons, they trapped them in their original positions. The remaining glow spread towards the deepest part of the waters.
With this Greedy Wolf Star Chart, he isolated this place from the world.
Qi Shengtao took two steps back, his pupils constricting as he watched the silver-white glow on his body slowly dissipate. He was horrified to discover that the connection between him and the Dragon Cavern had been severed.
"You're asking for death!"
The two had similar strengths, and Qi Shengtao was even stronger, one relying on the Dragon Cavern and the other on the immortal array.
But now, it seemed that Shen Yi had willingly given up the immortal array, trading it for the Dragon Cavern.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present.
They finally understood why Shen Yi had unbuttoned his collar earlier.
Roar—
Two ancient dragon souls suddenly rose and slammed into his solid chest.
Golden lines resembling cracks appeared on Shen Yi's pale skin, flowing like lava. He casually put the Phoenix Yuan into his mouth and then drew out the Golden Patterned Dark Saber.
The black robe on his body fluttered wildly.
Under the scorching heat of his inner fire, his eyes were filled with faint red blood vessels. He calmly looked at the numerous dragons in the immortal array, and his five fingers suddenly tightened around the hilt of the saber. The next moment, his black eyes were covered by a lifeless gray.
Shen Yi strolled into the formation, holding a long sword.
He slowly extended his left arm and clenched his fist.
In an instant, the last connection between the formation and the outside world was sealed.
This feast had been long awaited.
The slender young man, wielding a long sword, took each step forward towards the towering and majestic dragon demons.
With each step, the proud Western Dragon Palace offspring unconsciously retreated.
"Roar!"
Qi Shengtao was puzzled as to when his aura had been completely suppressed by this young man.
The dragon's instinctive roar, a song to subjugate all life, echoed in the wind, ruffling Shen Yi's hair, but he remained unmoved.
The Western Dragon King's actions made him realize something.
These so-called rulers of Hongze, the lofty dragon clan, held the lives of countless beings in their hands, and a single word could decide the fate of the entire land and sea.
But when faced with a life-and-death struggle, they were no different from the black dog he had slaughtered upon crossing over, driven only by instinct.
Mere beasts.
The next moment, thick black clouds rolled in, like a long red sunset in the water.
"Father!"
Qi Laowu sensed something amiss, his face filled with fear, and he rushed towards the Western Dragon King.
A figure with golden cracks all over its body stepped out of the clouds, appearing behind Qi Laowu.
A fierce knee strike slammed into the demon's lower back.
Boom!
With the combined might of Divine Mountain Suppressing Blue Sky and Azure Dragon Essence Body, Qi Laowu's brain trembled, his mind went blank, and his body flew horizontally into the air.
Below him, Shen Yi's expression was indifferent as he skillfully drew his sword.
A black gold radiance crossed the water, rising from below, like a night shroud, ready to devour all light.
Pfft!
A dull sound echoed through the surroundings.
The robust demon's body split in two, spraying blood and shattered organs, splattering onto Qi Shengtao's trembling face.
Its eyes widened, and in its gaze, Laowu's body fell in two pieces.
The dragon claw, reaching out to rescue its master, froze in midair.
"You..."
Qi Shengtao's hoarse voice trailed off as he opened his mouth wide, revealing sharp fangs. The dragon claw in midair, like thunder splitting the water, carried crimson demon energy, and its fingertips fiercely slammed into Shen Yi's heart.
It used all its strength to tear apart this frail body.
However, Shen Yi showed no intention of avoiding the attack, allowing the golden blood to flow and stain the dragon claw. His lifeless eyes stared directly at Qi Shengtao's neck.
In an instant, he swiftly grabbed the Western Dragon King's fingertips, and with the other hand, he swung his sword like a raging storm.
The Perfect Heaven Realm demon's body was incredibly robust, and the Jade Horn Silver Dragon's natural scales were rare treasures. Moreover, this old dragon wore heavy armor forged from concentrated demon energy.
One swing shattered the heavy armor!
The next swing sent silver scales flying!
As the sword sank into its flesh, Shen Yi resembled a bloodthirsty wolf, his hand gripping the Western Dragon King's struggling fingers, relentlessly repeating the same motion.
"To dare exchange lives with this king, you're not worthy!"
The injuries weren't severe enough to warrant such a reaction.
But facing the flashing sword, Qi Shengtao could only think of evading the blade. He raised his arm to block, and with great difficulty, he managed to pull his body out, stumbling backward.
Suddenly, his vision darkened.
He looked up in surprise, finding himself in a gloomy Netherworld Mansion, not knowing when he had entered.
The sound of a spring echoed, seemingly peeling away his soul, and Qi Shengtao's feet felt empty. He quickly stabilized himself and saw that he was standing on a broken bridge.
"What dark magic have you used!"
Sensing the instability of his soul, Qi Shengtao immediately calmed his mind and summoned the two frosty white long swords back into his hands. Then, he looked forward.
Shen Yi was also walking towards the gloomy mansion, his body already soaked in golden blood beneath his tattered black robe.
During their battle, the remaining dragon offspring had transformed into their true forms, several Jade Horn Silver Dragons, frantically crashing into the surroundings. But no matter how bloody and battered they became, they couldn't escape the boundaries of this peach blossom.
At that moment, numerous illusory black shadows appeared before them.
The next instant, furious dragon roars turned into pitiful wails almost simultaneously!
"Roar!"
The indifferent figures uniformly swung their butcher knives.
The massive dragon bodies, covered in scorching crimson blood, bloomed like a grand spectacle, even making the peach blossoms in the sky seem more vibrant.
"Hiss."
The sky was filled with a bloody rain, falling like a macabre shower.
Zi Xian subconsciously averted her gaze, a member of the Purple Bearded White Dragon Clan. Even in her angriest moments, she had never imagined such a scene.
As the Eastern Dragon Prince, Zi Yang was in a better position, but being of the same dragon lineage, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of reluctance in his heart.
Of course, this fleeting reluctance quickly faded.
What truly startled him was that from the moment Shen Yi stepped into the grand array, Qi Shengtao's heart was filled with a raging killing intent. But with each step, his murderous aura was gradually replaced by fear, and he was led around by the nose.
Had he lost his will to kill after sitting in a high position for too long? And what about Shen Yi? How had he, so young, cultivated such a ruthless and fierce heart?
Zi Yang's expression grew solemn as he stared into the array, momentarily forgetting the earlier embarrassment of being ignored.
The bloody rain, carrying a pungent stench, mixed with the murky water.
It drifted between the two figures.
Shen Yi had reached Qi Shengtao's front, while the Western Dragon King stood there, dazed, gazing around. The vast Western Flood Dragon Palace now seemed empty, leaving only him.
In a moment of mental haze, he didn't notice that the entire eerie grand hall had become illusory, and the enveloping black mist seemed to be a sharp claw slowly grasping towards his body!
Boom!
Shen Yi flipped over and delivered a sideways kick, viciously slamming it into Qi Shengtao's scarred neck, sending him tumbling off the broken bridge.
At the same time, he closed in, and his long sword, swift as the wind, enveloped the entire dragon's body in its Black Gold Radiance.
Qi Shengtao, furious, brandished his sword. The frosty white long sword, transformed from the jade horn, was a treasure he had nurtured for many years. For a moment, it blocked all the attacks of the Golden Patterned Black Sword, without breaking, only developing some cracks.
"You're not capable of killing me!"
"Even without the Dragon Cavern, how can you, unprotected by the Immortal Array, be a match for me!"
He suddenly swung his sword, and the essence blood within his body boiled, pushing the Golden Patterned Black Sword back inch by inch.
"..."
Shen Yi didn't feel flustered. Even with the aid of Immortal Techniques and Divine Abilities, his opponent was still a dragon demon of a far superior realm, so it was normal to be at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
He decisively discarded the Azure Dragon Sun Devourer and, with a whip of his leg, sent the long sword flying from Qi Shengtao's hand.
Raising his fists, he struck out, each fist carrying a Black Tiger, and slammed them into Qi Shengtao's face.
In an instant, both of them seemed like mindless beasts, devoid of the demeanor of a powerful cultivator, engaging in a close-quarters brawl, flesh against flesh.
"Come! Come on!"
"If it's a contest of courage and ferocity, do you think I, a dragon, would fear a mere cultivator?!"
Qi Shengtao gradually regained the feeling of his youth, growing bolder with each battle, and the murderous intent on his face intensified.
This was his familiar style of combat. No matter how many techniques this cultivator had learned, he was still just a monkey wearing a hat, how could he possibly defeat him! In contrast, Shen Yi maintained his composure throughout.
When fighting a beast, one must be fiercer, but one shouldn't truly become a beast oneself.
Qi Shengtao didn't notice that the sharp claw made of black mist had slowly sunk into his body.
The two shadows slowly sank into the deepest part of the water.
Qi Shengtao felt the youth's aura becoming increasingly faint, and finally, he let out a sinister laugh, "Are you giving up?"
At that moment, he suddenly realized that Shen Yi had casually glanced at him, as if looking at some stupid creature.
Qi Shengtao finally realized something was amiss.
It seemed he had forgotten something.
He looked up at the sky, only to find that the alluring peach blossom had disappeared, and the water had become murky.
Under the influence of the Supreme Nether Palace and the Yin-Yang Life and Death Array, he had grown bolder with each battle, but he had long since lost his observational abilities.
That Dragon Cavern... Shen Yi had already returned it to him.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Shen Yi opened his palm, using the bloodstained peach blossom to cover Qi Shengtao's forehead, blocking his vision.
The hoarse voice, a result of exhaustion, slowly echoed in Qi Shengtao's ear.
"Greedy Wolf... Annihilation."
In the unseen Sea of Consciousness, within the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, where the black mist soared into the sky.
The seventeen Guardian Boulders, led by Ke Shisan, opened their eyes.
The bloodstained peach blossom entered Qi Shengtao's pupils.
The next moment, his most prized body seemed to turn to stone, cracking from the inside out. A blinding white light, like the sharpest sword in the world, pierced through the cracks, illuminating the entire body of water.
Qi Shengtao's brain trembled as he looked to the side.
The pitch-black, bottomless abyss was his most trusted Dragon Cavern.
Despair and unwillingness filled the eyes of the Western Dragon King.
Crack!
Amidst the crisp sound of shattering, the Immortal Array, almost akin to the Dao, finally spread throughout the old dragon's body, shattering it into countless pieces.
