Chapter 65: Xuantian Dragon Slaying Sword: A Dragon Among Men? He Is a Dragon

Shenhuo Mountain.

Jiang Li moved through the dense forest.

Behind him were twenty Demon Suppression Division captains who had followed, as well as the scar-faced vanguard general, General Lu Dali.

“Immortal Master, ahead is Fire God Peak of Shenhuo Mountain Manor. From here, you can see most of the Manor’s full view, but we can’t go any further. Because as soon as we discover them, they will discover us. If you wish to suppress demons, you can do so under the protection of our Demon Suppression Division.”

General Lu Dali subtly advised.

No matter how outstanding Jiang Li’s talent, he was currently only in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, still too weak compared to the entire strength of Shenhuo Mountain Manor.

The Demon Suppression Division only wanted to leverage his identity from Tianxuan Holy Land.

Jiang Li did not speak.

His steps halted.

He stood with his arms at his sides, looking up at a fiery red peak not far away.

The peak was rugged, extending outwards like flickering flame symbols, and the outline of a Manor faintly appeared.

And on the cliff edge in front of Shenhuo Mountain Manor, a young figure stood there, gazing downwards. Upon seeing Jiang Li, his mouth curled into a grin, revealing rows of sharp teeth, and he made a throat-slitting gesture.

“It’s him, Ji Changming. It’s this demon spawn. He’s a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator and has killed eight of my Demon Suppression Division soldiers. Now he even dares to show himself so brazenly. Shenhuo Mountain Manor is going too far!”

General Lu Dali’s face was grim.

He gritted his teeth.

Yet, he was helpless against the other party.

Although he was also Foundation Establishment Late Stage, compared to a Little Sect Master of a School who was specially cultivated, he was still somewhat lacking.

Just then.

On the mountain path leading to Shenhuo Mountain Manor, a group of Shenhuo Mountain Manor Disciples, with varying levels of Qi, broke out and descended the mountain. Leading them was an Elder, with silver hair draped over his shoulders, looking old and frail, but he was one of the few Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivators in Shenhuo Mountain Manor.

General Lu Dali’s pupils constricted slightly.

He drew his saber.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Elder Qiu, I advise you to think carefully. If you dare to escape from Shenhuo Mountain Manor today, in the future, there will be no place for you in Piaomiao Dynasty. You will become like rats scurrying across the street, living a life of constant upheaval.”

Elder Qiu’s figure was gaunt, like a candle in the wind, about to burn out, but his steps were steady. With each step he took, the coldness in his eyes deepened.

“General Lu, why must you cling to Shenhuo Mountain Manor? Shenhuo Mountain Manor has fulfilled its duty of protecting Jiangzhou for decades, never neglecting to slay Yao Beasts and suppress demons, and has cooperated tacitly with your Demon Suppression Division. Why can’t you just turn a blind eye and let us leave? We were all unintentionally used as test subjects; this was not our intention.”

General Lu Dali gritted his teeth, not yielding an inch: “If you truly believe you are innocent, the Demon Suppression Division will restore your freedom after investigating the truth, instead of trying to forcefully breach the defense line set by the Demon Suppression Division.”

“It’s too late. The day we became test subjects, we were labeled as demonic Cultivators. That bastard Ji Changming deserves to die, but we don’t want to die.”

Elder Qiu’s eyes were complex.

He raised his sword.

The group of Shenhuo Mountain Manor Disciples behind him also raised their weapons.

They looked as if they were ready to die.

Seeing this scene, General Lu Dali’s heart wavered slightly. Were they truly innocent? Were they just forced to become demonic Cultivators?

【Ding, you have triggered the morale-boosting segment. Please enter dialogue content—】

“What are you pretending for?”

At this moment.

Jiang Li spoke.

His voice held no emotion, like the cold Heavenly Dao.

“Killing Mortals to nourish Yao Beast bodies, do you admit it? Using Mortal blood to feed Yao Beasts, do you admit it?”

If he didn’t have the ‘Heart of Justice’ trait, he would have truly been deceived by this old man’s performance.

Not investigating, he wouldn’t know; investigating, he was shocked.

Each of these so-called innocent Disciples had a crimson mark above their heads, and each was stained with a dozen human lives.

They were more like a demonic sect than a demonic sect.

Innocent my foot.

Upon hearing this.

Elder Qiu frowned slightly.

His gaze fell on Jiang Li. Seeing the other party’s Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but it quickly faded.

“So what? Our Shenhuo Mountain Manor has protected Jiangzhou for decades. When it’s our turn to need help, what’s wrong with them helping us? If we don’t rely on Mortal flesh and blood and vital essence, then the Yao Beast bodies will instinctively absorb our cultivation. If something happens to us, wouldn’t Jiangzhou fall? So it’s better to fulfill us.”

Sizzle…

The silver-haired old man had not even finished speaking when the Cultivation Technique could no longer listen. A finger-thick bolt of lightning was directly hurled at him, exploding into a sky full of electric arcs.

Bang!

The silver-haired old man was sent flying backwards.

He crashed into a giant tree, shattered a huge rock, and finally landed in a pile of rubble, his life unknown.

No one could have imagined that in a confrontation between two sides with a clear disparity in strength, the weaker side would be the first to attack.

Even more unexpectedly, Jiang Li, with just one strike, severely wounded the Foundation Establishment Peak silver-haired Elder.

That violent lightning technique shocked everyone present.

The Demon Suppression Division side was already stunned.

They gasped repeatedly.

“You…”

The Shenhuo Mountain Manor Disciples were clearly frightened too.

Their faces were filled with terror.

Their invincible Foundation Establishment Peak Elder was severely wounded by an unknown youth in a single blow.

What a joke.

In this day and age, can a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator also defeat a Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator?

The silver-haired old man pushed aside the rubble, disheveled, his face withered. His clothes were shattered, revealing wrinkled skin and half a turtle shell embedded in his flesh.

He coughed up blood profusely.

His injuries were extremely severe.

He was on the verge of death.

“Ji Changming, you bastard, are you still watching the show? Whose fault is it that we are like this? If you don’t come down, I’ll use my last breath to tear off a piece of your flesh.”

The silver-haired old man roared.

Boom.

A heavy thud.

The youth who was just standing on the cliff edge of Fire God Peak directly leaped down from the hundred-zhang-high mountain.

He stomped heavily.

The ground cracked.

A sunken crater was formed.

“Old thing, even after transplanting the Mystic Tortoise’s shell into you, you’re still so useless. If you weren’t still somewhat useful, I’d truly want to use you as a snack, to let my lion’s maw taste the flavor of a Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator.”

The youth, Ji Changming, the Little Sect Master of Shenhuo Mountain Manor, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, yet the pressure he exuded upon his arrival was far more terrifying than that of the Foundation Establishment Peak silver-haired Elder.

A few pieces of minced meat still clung to his sharp fangs.

A strong smell of blood emanated from him.

The silver-haired old man’s face was grim, but he couldn’t refute it.

Because he was truly almost killed by a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator.

He still didn’t understand how Jiang Li had done it.

Ji Changming glanced at the silver-haired old man with disdain, then fixed his gaze on Jiang Li.

His pupils turned into golden beast-like eyes.

He extended his arm, covered in golden fur, and gently fanned the air, letting the scent reach his nose. Saliva was already secreting in his throat: “Brother, you smell so good. Compared to those Mortals and other Cultivators, you have a special Dao charm about you that makes me want to eat you.”

As he spoke.

Saliva was already dripping from the corners of his mouth.

With such a beastly appearance, he no longer resembled a human in the slightest; he was clearly a Yao Beast in human skin.

Has the Yinkui Sect’s corpse refining technique made another Breakthrough?

Jiang Li thought to himself.

In this state, Ji Changming clearly no longer belonged to humans, nor to Yao Beasts, but rather to demons.

Jiang Li, managed by the Cultivation Technique, attacked again.

This time.

Everyone saw it clearly.

Jiang Li’s body erupted with brilliant lightning, making him appear like an immortal god. With a flick of his finger, a viscous lightning pillar shot out, instantly closing in on Ji Changming.

Ji Changming was greatly shocked.

His golden beast-like pupils narrowed into a straight line.

He shifted his body.

The lightning pillar grazed his left shoulder and slammed into the mountain, blasting out a large crater.

Ji Changming also grunted in pain.

He quickly retreated.

Only then did he realize that his upper left shoulder was blurred.

“How is this possible? How can you casually use such a powerful move?”

Ji Changming was incredulous.

He couldn’t believe that the lightning technique, capable of severely wounding a Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator in one blow, could be used so freely. And only after directly encountering the lightning technique did he realize how terrifying this move truly was.

Even his golden beast-like pupils couldn’t completely evade it.

He finally understood why that useless Elder Qiu couldn’t even avoid it.

Jiang Li’s expression was strange.

What powerful move?

This was just his basic attack.

As long as the lightning power of the three Thunder Palaces was not exhausted, he could unleash such lightning pillars at any time.

Making a big fuss over nothing, huh?

However, this Ji Changming still had some strength. Being able to dodge the lightning attack, it seemed to be due to the enhancement of his Yao Beast body, which gave him strength far exceeding his normal cultivation.

On the other side.

The Disciples of Shenhuo Mountain Manor also noticed something was wrong.

“That Ji Changming guy doesn’t seem to be an opponent. Isn’t he the Little Sect Master? Isn’t he a Dragon among men? How can he not even deal with a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator?”

Jiang Li heard it.

He didn’t take it seriously.

But…

The Cultivation Technique did take it seriously.

【Ding, the sword art “Xuantian Dragon Slaying Sword” heard the word ‘Dragon’ and applied to fight. A Dragon among men, he is a Dragon. The Heart of Dragon Slaying is ecstatic and wants to personally slay a Dragon.】

Jiang Li:???

Are you that thirsty?

A Dragon among men, in your eyes, has become a Dragon?
