Chapter 9 New Spell Entry: Dragon Slayer

Chapter 9: Spell – New Entry: Dragon Slayer

At this moment.

Deep mountain cold pond.

A hollow voice emerged from Jiang Li’s mouth.

The three-inch sword light, condensed from three hundred and twenty Spirit Stones, slashed down.

The sword shadow was like an aurora, merging with the sky.

Then…

It overturned.

The brilliant, pale white sword light shot out like lightning.

In an instant, it pierced through the poisonous Flood Dragon’s body.

The poisonous Flood Dragon’s proud, hard snake body was as fragile as thin paper under this world-shaking sword light.

It effortlessly penetrated through.

The remaining momentum of the strike hit the calm lake surface.

The lake water split.

Raising a thousand-layered wave.

Plop.

A crisp sound attracted everyone’s attention.

They saw a small, circular wound appear on the poisonous Flood Dragon’s upright body, seemingly out of nowhere.

The wound continuously split open, eventually causing its head to fall off.

It rolled several times on the ground.

The massive snake body also crashed to the ground at this moment.

Blood splattered across the sky.

Forming a pool of blood.

The Qi Refinement Stage seventh-layer poisonous Flood Dragon, dead.

At this moment.

The scene was eerily quiet.

You could hear a pin drop.

The Loose Cultivator Huang Fei’s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

The two Qi Refinement Stage Disciples, heavily injured and lying on the ground, also gaped, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

One sword to slay a Dragon.

Was this a retelling of a storybook tale?

Although the poisonous Flood Dragon wasn’t a true Dragon in the conventional sense, it still belonged to the Dragon species.

With its Qi Refinement Stage seventh-layer cultivation, it had suppressed them and their master, and its black scales were so tough that even Spells couldn’t break them.

In terms of strength, the poisonous Flood Dragon was definitely a top-tier Yao Beast among those at the Qi Refinement Stage.

It was unbeatable by any Cultivator below the Foundation Establishment Stage.

And now…

What did they see?

A young man, roughly their age and also only at the Qi Refinement Stage fourth-layer, with just one sword strike, broke through the poisonous Flood Dragon’s defenses and decapitated it.

This was too astonishing.

It was completely replicating the Dragon-slaying deeds from storybooks.

So much so that they felt a sense of unreality.

They felt that all of this was just a fleeting dream before their deaths.

For a moment.

The scene was utterly silent.

…

At the same time.

Jiang Li, standing on the flying spiritual boat, also stared intently at this sword strike.

He couldn’t help but gasp.

Even he was amazed by the effect of this attack.

It also allowed Jiang Li to glimpse his future strength.

With just the Qi Refinement Stage seventh-layer’s magic power, one sword strike would make him unstoppable against anyone below the Foundation Establishment Stage.

And this…

This was merely the introductory stage of the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Above that, there were four great Realms: Proficient, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Perfection.

He dared not imagine what terrifying level of power this strike could reach if he wielded the Dragon Slaying Sword at the Perfection Realm with his Qi Refinement Peak cultivation.

Slaying a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator in defiance of the natural order was definitely not just theoretical.

Just as he was thinking.

A cold, mechanical electronic voice pulled Jiang Li’s thoughts back to reality.

“Ding, the Spell Dragon Slaying Sword has slain the poisonous Flood Dragon, bathed in Dragon blood, thoroughly comprehended its true meaning, redefined the words ‘Dragon Slaying,’ and entered an Epiphany state.”

“New entry acquired.”

“Additional entry: Dragon Slayer.”

“Dragon Slayer: Damage to Dragon-type creatures +50%.”

“Ding, the option mission has been completed.”

“Completion Reward: Spell Minor Achievement.”

As the System’s prompt sound faded.

Jiang Li regained control of his body.

He was overjoyed.

Spell Minor Achievement was already the greatest gain, but he hadn’t expected the Spell Dragon Slaying Sword to be so outstanding, entering an Epiphany state and gaining an additional entry.

Double happiness.

No.

It was triple blessings.

The Qi Refinement Stage seventh-layer poisonous Flood Dragon was a treasure trove.

Its flesh and blood could be used for Alchemy, its scales for Artifact Refining, and various parts could be separated and sold for a good price.

The four hundred Spirit Stones spent on this trip could not only be fully recouped but also yield a significant profit.

With this thought.

Jiang Li activated his magic power.

He placed the poisonous Flood Dragon’s body into his Storage Pouch.

After doing all this.

He nodded with great satisfaction.

Then turned and left.

No other reason.

To be low-key.

He had already sensed a group of Cultivators approaching from not far away.

Most likely, they were the Cultivators stationed in Shuangyu City.

Although Shuangyu City was a city under the jurisdiction of the Piaomiao Dynasty, it was, after all, not far from the Tianxuan Holy Land.

He didn’t want to become famous in the Holy Land only to also gain notoriety in the outside world.

It was possible that some Holy Land Disciple might gossip and spread his story.

Jiang Li thought, even if the System was reckless, he still had to be cautious.

This was the self-cultivation of an undercover agent.

Just then.

The Loose Cultivator Huang Fei finally recovered from his shock.

Seeing Jiang Li about to leave, he quickly spoke up: “This junior… This Fellow Daoist, thank you for your help.

If not for you, our master and Disciples would have perished at the hands of the poisonous Flood Dragon.”

“My gratitude is beyond words, please accept my bow, Huang.”

Huang Fei solemnly bowed to Jiang Li.

Although he was several decades older than Jiang Li, and his cultivation was several minor Realms higher, he deeply understood that the other party was a true Dragon of the Nine Heavens, destined to shock the entire Immortal Realm in the future.

And he was just a Loose Cultivator nearing the end of his lifespan, uncertain if he could even reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The gap between them was like that between clouds and mud.

This bow was one of reverence.

Jiang Li’s expression shifted slightly.

He didn’t avoid it.

He just waved his hand.

“It’s a small matter, not worth mentioning.”

After speaking.

He turned gracefully.

Controlling his spiritual boat, he fled into the distance.

Leaving only a mysterious and unrestrained silhouette for the three.

The three were somewhat dazed.

“Master, who exactly is he?”

The male Disciple among the two couldn’t help but ask.

Huang Fei watched for a long time before coming back to his senses, sighing: “If I’m not mistaken, he should be a Prodigy of the Tianxuan Holy Land.

Your master, I, once wanted to join the Tianxuan Holy Land, but unfortunately, my Aptitude was insufficient, so I could only become a Loose Cultivator, drifting for half my life, eventually reaching the Qi Refinement Stage ninth-layer.”

“Such a cultivation has already made me a respected guest in the secular Imperial Dynasty.

I’ve thought countless times that if the Tianxuan Holy Land had given me a chance to prove myself back then, my current achievements would certainly not be limited to this.”

“But now I understand, compared to the true Prodigies of the Tianxuan Holy Land, my small achievements are utterly insignificant.”

The male Disciple opened his mouth, wanting to say something about not belittling oneself, but then swallowed his words.

Under the feat of slaying a poisonous Flood Dragon with a sword at the Qi Refinement Stage fourth-layer, all explanations seemed so powerless.

That was a true Prodigy.

Not something their kind of Loose Cultivator could compare to.

At this moment.

Huang Fei seemed to have made some decision.

“He’er, you should go to the Tianxuan Holy Land.

Loose Cultivators have no future, and a shallow pond cannot raise a true Dragon.

You need a bigger stage.

You must strive to be like that Fellow Daoist.”

The quiet girl named He’er, with her bright, clear eyes, silently looked in the direction Jiang Li had left.

Jiang Li’s silhouette seemed to be reflected in her eyes.

…

On the other side.

By the time he returned to the Tianxuan Holy Land, it was already evening.

Due to his deliberate low-key approach, not many people knew about Jiang Li’s trip.

Everything was as usual.

Peaceful enough to put his mind at ease.

Jiang Li eagerly began to try out the Dragon Slaying Sword at the Minor Achievement Realm.

His magic power surged around him.

In his palm, a silver-white, solid sword Qi condensed, ten feet long, with faint Dragon scale patterns appearing on the sword Qi itself.

Jiang Li fell silent.

He didn’t look away for a long time.

He reopened the copied Secret Manual of the Dragon Slaying Sword.

He turned the pages to the content for the Minor Achievement stage.

“Dragon Slaying Sword Minor Achievement: Magic power transforms into Qi, six feet long, sword body silver-white and colorless, semi-solid.”

Damn.

It wasn’t that he remembered incorrectly.

It was that the Dragon Slaying Sword he cultivated was indeed quite different from the normal version.

Aside from the magic power transforming into Qi, nothing else matched.

Moreover, from both situations, his Dragon scale sword Qi seemed more like the sword Qi cultivated from the Spell of the Dragon Slaying Sword.

It’s over.

This Spell had been led astray by the System.

It was changing towards the true meaning of the words “Dragon Slaying Sword.”

Jiang Li didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Because he also felt that the current Dragon Slaying Sword truly lived up to the name “Dragon Slaying Sword.”
