Chapter 197 Jiang Li: You might as well just die.

Chapter 197: Jiang Li: Why don’t you just play around until you die?

At this moment.

Above the sky.

The Dragon’s corpse, broken into two halves, fell from the clouds. The part below the waist was completely severed. The Old Jiao Demon’s roar, for the first time, carried an unbelievable panic.

He was slain by a Golden Core junior?

What a joke.

Even the Royal Bloodline Prodigies of the Demon Clan Royal Court couldn’t do such a thing at the Golden Core Stage. How could a lowly Human be able to slay him? He didn’t believe it.

The Old Jiao Demon raised his head, his hideous Jiaolong head gasping for air. He no longer paid attention to the severed half of his Yao body, frantically fleeing into the distance, disappearing in a flash.

Jiang Li watched, clicking his tongue in wonder.

A Transformation Stage Demon King’s vitality is indeed formidable; he could survive with half his body severed. Of course, the opponent was already at the end of his rope. After the combination of Movement Technique and Sword Art, the Old Jiao Demon’s strength had dropped by more than half, and his aura was only at the initial Soul Transformation Stage.

This was the difference in cultivation between Humans and Yaos.

When Human Race Cultivators advance to the Soul Transformation Stage, they condense a Soul Transformation Spiritual Body by comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth. As long as the Laws of Heaven and Earth contained within the Soul Transformation Spiritual Body are not completely annihilated, they can reorganize regardless of how many times they die.

The Yao Race is different. Yao Race Yao Beasts advancing to Soul Transformation do not have the step of comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Instead, they condense exclusive Divine Abilities based on their innate talents, gaining corresponding power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. The power obtained is fully applied to their innate Divine Abilities and Yao bodies.

Because of this, at the same Realm, Human Race Cultivators are inferior to the Yao Race in attack, while the Yao Race is inferior to the Human Race in self-preservation.

This Old Jiao Demon in front of him was exactly like this.

Once he was slain, it would truly be the end of his life and Dao.

The fallen half of the Jiaolong body was proof.

In a flash of thought.

Jiang Li, whose Movement Technique was on autopilot, chased after him again.

In front of the spatial leaping ability of the Wind and Thunder Wings, just a single flap crossed a distance of three hundred li, appearing before the Old Jiao Demon, standing with his sword askew, blocking his path, his expression always calm.

The Old Jiao Demon was once again terrified.

He roared angrily:

“Jiang Li, show mercy when you can. You have already slain three hundred and sixty-one Prodigies of my Yao Race, causing a great disaster. Now you still want to kill me? I am a Yao King of the Yao Race. My Jiaolong Clan is a Dragon Servant of the Dragon Clan of the Demon Clan Royal Court. If you dare to kill me, the Demon Clan Royal Court will not let you go, and the Dragon Lords will not let you go either.”

Jiang Li listened and secretly curled his lips.

So, after all this, your Jiaolong Clan are servants? I thought you were so noble, always threatening to flood Imperial Cities and annihilate nations.

Perhaps with no one watching, and no opportunity to show off, the Movement Technique didn’t say much, and another Great Sun Sword Qi was spat out from its mouth. The sword body erupted in a brilliant golden glow, dazzling and striking. With one strike, the magnificent Great Sun crushed forward.

The Old Jiao Demon desperately resisted.

Burning his Yao body, he unleashed his last reserves of power, spitting out three drops of “Profound Dark Heavy Water” from his mouth, which collided with the Great Sun Sword Qi.

Rolling white mist surged up into the sky.

A violent distortion occurred at the point of collision, stirring up the surrounding space and making it chaotic, as if it was about to be torn apart.

Using this attack as a cover, the Old Jiao Demon fled again.

He was already not an opponent before, let alone now with half his Yao body severed. This Transformation Stage Demon King now had only one thought: escape, escape back to the Demon Clan Royal Court. As long as he could escape back to the Wildlands where the Yao Race resided, he would be safe.

With this thought, the Old Jiao Demon, between life and death, once again squeezed out a few more points of power from his Yao body, increasing his speed even further.

The Movement Technique, meanwhile, pursued from behind.

From time to time, it condensed a Cracking Wind Spear and a Thunder Plasma Spear, leaving streaks of blood on the weakened Yao body. Hot Yao blood rained down like dew, as if the sky was shedding a blood rain.

No one would have thought that the once majestic and domineering Soul Transformation Jiaolong now resembled a wounded deer being chased by hounds, only able to flee desperately by burning its vital essence and blood.

And the pursuer, a year ago, was just a Foundation Establishment brat who he wouldn’t even look at, someone he could crush with a casual flick of his hand.

On the other side.

Jiang Li also urged the Movement Technique to act quickly.

If this Yao King was allowed to escape back to the Yao Race territory, it would be difficult to kill him again.

With his current kill count of over six hundred Yao Beasts, going into Yao Race territory would be suicide. He had to kill him before he returned.

There wouldn’t be such a good opportunity next time.

Jiang Li clearly knew that this was already the limit of his current strength.

The fifth-tier sword Limitless Sword + the power of Great Sun Sword Qi + Golden Core Phenomenon + Cultivation Technique traits “Heart of Dragon Slaying” and “Dragon’s Might”—the superposition of these conditions granted him the strength to slay a Soul Transformation expert with a sword. If the Old Jiao Demon had been even slightly stronger, or had one or two more trump cards, this kill would not have been so easy.

Ultimately, confronting a Soul Transformation expert now was still not safe enough.

If it weren’t for the Movement Technique and Sword Art wanting to slay a Dragon, he had planned to Cultivate the Body Refinement Method to the third layer and break through to the Nascent Soul Stage before officially engaging in combat with a Soul Transformation Realm expert.

【Ding, Movement Technique “Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Void Escape Secret Canon” states: Just watch my moves, the feat of capturing a Dragon deserves a fitting spectacle. How exhilarating it would be to capture a Dragon’s head amidst a myriad of soldiers.】

【Ding, Sword Art “Xuantian Dragon Slaying Sword” thinks: Slay the Dragon, slay the Dragon, I want to slay the Dragon!】

?

Jiang Li slowly formed a question mark.

Wait a minute.

He had just thought it was impossible for the Movement Technique’s speed not to catch up to a half-crippled Old Jiaolong. So you were doing it on purpose, you thought there were no spectators here, and no one would see the Dragon being captured, so you let the Old Jiao Demon escape, planning to make a move when he reached a place with spectators?

Damn it.

You might as well just play around until you die.

Jiang Li cursed silently.

Don’t you dare corrupt my other Cultivation Techniques. If they all pick up this habit, then it’s truly over… Amidst his grumbling.

One Human and one Jiaolong had already traversed more than half of the Piaomiao Dynasty, arriving at the Imperial Dynasty’s border.

This was the border of the Piaomiao Dynasty, where a colossal dark profound city stood, named “Demon Suppressing City.” Giant Demon Slaying Crossbows gleamed coldly, constantly aimed at the distant horizon.

On the city wall, a tall figure held a giant halberd, guarding this place.

It was one of the only two remaining Peak Nascent Soul Stage Great Generals of the Piaomiao Dynasty.

The Old Jiao Demon was overjoyed.

Demon Suppressing City was here, so was the Yao Race border still far?

As long as he escaped back to the Yao Race hinterland, his life would be saved. Even if he would be held accountable, it was better than being slain by a Human Golden Core junior.

“Jiang Li, the humiliation you brought upon me, I will repay it one day. I hope you can last until I emerge from seclusion.”

Perhaps it was getting closer to the Yao Race border, or perhaps he thought Jiang Li could no longer catch up to him, the Old Jiao Demon once again started spouting threats, a Dragon’s roar echoing from his mouth.

The commotion was so great that more than half of Demon Suppressing City heard it.

They all looked up.

Upon seeing this.

The city guards were stunned.

If they weren’t mistaken, that massive Jiaolong body surging in the clouds should belong to a Transformation Stage Demon King, whose formidable might was well-known. Every time he entered the Piaomiao Dynasty’s territory, he would cause meteorological phenomena and stir up trouble. He was a notorious evil Jiaolong, and the number one enemy of Demon Suppressing City.

And now… they saw that this evil Jiaolong had only half of its body left, still dripping Yao blood. Behind it, a young figure in profound black pursued.

This looked like the evil Jiaolong being hunted by a Human Race Cultivator.

But that Human Race Cultivator’s cultivation was only at the Late Stage Golden Core. What was going on?

A Golden Core chasing a Soul Transformation expert?

Were they still asleep? How could they be daydreaming in broad daylight?

Jiang Li listened, already not knowing how to complain.

You really are a good straight man.

The Movement Technique was about to have its fun.

And you were about to die.

As expected.

After the Old Jiao Demon uttered his threats, countless gazes from the Demon Suppressing City below were cast upon them, and the Movement Technique also took action.

A Great Sun Sword Qi was spat out, unleashing an extremely brilliant Great Sun, crushing towards the Old Jiao Demon with an unstoppable momentum.

The Old Jiao Demon was about to turn back to take one last look at Jiang Li, to deeply remember this Human who had brought him humiliation. Then, a dazzling crimson-gold halo was reflected in his vertical pupils.

In a daze.

He saw his own half-severed Jiaolong body.

His vision spun wildly.

He realized belatedly: his head had been severed.

And in the eyes of the Demon Suppressing City soldiers, they saw this exceedingly young figure, with just one sword strike, seemingly pluck the sun to condense a sword light, effortlessly severing the head of the evil Jiaolong they considered unconquerable.

What was displayed before them was a scene of the evil Jiaolong being beheaded.
