Chapter 866: Chapter 596: Going back to Dragon Cave and Slaying You

"Heh——"

The South Dragon King locked eyes with Shen Yi, whose expression remained utterly tranquil. Suddenly, his breathing intensified significantly.

He couldn’t believe that the cultivators from Northern Hong had simply abandoned him.

What made the South Dragon King even more panic-stricken was that the demeanor of the Sect Master of Nanyang from beginning to end seemed to prove that everything, including the reactions of the Merit Immortal, was under his control!

That was the most terrifying part, and also what he couldn’t understand at all.

Thinking of this, he quickly ceased counting on his right palm and forced himself to speak calmly, "Even without their help, do you think I, alone, would fear any of you?"

"But."

The South Dragon King’s tone changed as he swallowed, striving to keep his voice steady, "I guard the Dragon Cave by the Imperial Edict of the Immortal, and I don’t wish to partake in this meaningless slaughter. Let’s forget past grievances and from now on, may the Southern Dragon Palace and the Seven Sects have no dealings. You keep to your Immortal Sect, and I, to my Dragon Cave; let’s not infringe on each other’s territories..."

In a few words, he still tried to maintain the might of the Dragon King, but he was essentially resigned, implying that he was now ceding Southern Hong to the governance of the Seven Sons.

Even Qi Yansheng couldn’t help admiring this old dragon, a survivor through countless tumults. This cautious nature of his truly avoided any and all risks.

However, in the next moment, under the enveloping gaze of Shen Yi, the Dragon King’s face twitched rapidly, as if nothing he said could affect the young man before him.

A severe sense of crisis washed over him from the depths of his heart.

Instinctively, he raised his palm, trying to tear apart the dark robe before him, deciding to strike first!

The physical strength of a Late Stage Heavenly Realm Dragon Demon became apparent when he quickly broke through Qi Yansheng’s Divine Skills.

But before his Dragon Claw could reach out, a fierce fist had already smashed into his face.

In an instant, boundless waves of energy rolled up with Shen Yi at the center, boiling the atmosphere around and suddenly endowing the seemingly delicate figure with the imposing manner of a towering mountain!

Shenyue Zhenqingtian!

Another intense roaring sound erupted, and this punch far surpassed the previous leg strike in power, taking the South Dragon King by surprise and making him realize just how terrifying Shen Yi’s full power could be.

His ferocious Dragon Head deformed in an instant, with shattered bone fragments piercing through the skin, and his boiling dragon blood turned his entire face a startling red.

Crack! Crack!

The mighty figure of the South Dragon King flew backward like a torn sack, and with a tremendous crash, shattered a hanging Treasure Mountain.

Qi Yansheng hurriedly manipulated his Divine Skills, reassembling the Inverted Mountain.

They had to consider that the others above might not have gone far.

"..."

Ye Jiu glanced at Shen Yi with astonished reverence in his gaze, having never imagined the young Sect Master had just displayed a strength already shocking enough to him, and yet it wasn’t even all he had.

But as the Heavenly Sword Sect Master, specialized in carnage, how could he miss such a perfect opportunity?

Ye Jiu threw the Flowing Light Longsword forward, clapping his hands decisively.

This Flowing Light Longsword was his first Divine Skill upon breaking through to the Heavenly Realm, but unlike other cultivators, his remaining two Divine Skills were expansions derived from this longsword.

This meant that Ye Jiu might have many weaknesses, but purely in terms of lethality, he far surpassed Qi Yansheng of the same realm.

The Flowing Light swiftly split into five beams, speeding off in all directions.

The next moment, the Flowing Light turned into a solid, sword-shaped light hundreds of feet long, falling from above in a mysterious angle, locking the once-shattered and reassembled Inverted Mountain within it.

"Slas—"

Ye Jiu swung his sleeve, and as his word fell, the space between the Azure Sky and the sea was engulfed by sharp edges, as if to blind all sensory perceptions, and the piercing sound of the sword chant was ceaseless, cutting through the clouds.

Hum——

The sword-shaped Flowing Light crashed down, shattering the Inverted Mountain once again with its fierce aura before even making contact.

Huge boulders scattered, and a terrifying yellow shadow finally burst forth. The impressive form of the South Dragon King, in front of this true Demon body, was not much bigger than an ant.

Only the blood-stained Dragon Head was recognizable as its original form.

"Roar!"

The massive Yellow Poison Dragon rolled and soared up, but no matter what, it couldn’t escape the bounds of the Flowing Light Sword Formation. Driven to desperation, it crazily thrust its claws into the sword-shaped light.

The contact between flesh and sword light emitted a sound of clashing metal.

In just a moment, scales rivaling Magic Treasures on the South Dragon King’s body started to continuously shatter, skin split, flesh burst open, and blood quickly turned the surrounding water a dark red.

"Ye Jiu! You’re courting death!"

Amidst furious dragon yells, the South Dragon King repeatedly thrust out its claws, tail flicking another sword light away, and then transformed into a blood dragon, especially the jagged tear at its tail, deep enough to expose the bone.

Having paid such a heavy price, it gripped the sword light tightly, its bloodshot eyes scanning the three men before ferociously crushing it!

"Huh."

Although Ye Jiu appeared calm, his face paled momentarily. Clearly, the breaking of his Divine Skills had affected him greatly.

But with a slight gesture, the Flowing Light Longsword quickly reassembled, returning to the palm of his hand.

A blade that tasted blood only grew more excited, as indicated by his increasingly rapid breathing.
