Chapter 202: Chapter 171: The Dragon-Slaying Emperor!_2

Li Ping’an had just finished speaking when the clear and crisp water in the Dragon Locking Well on his left-hand side suddenly began to swirl and gush upwards. After the well water burst forth from the well, it gathered into a headless dragon holding its own dragon head, crystal clear and translucent. Bathed in the moonlight, it was beautiful yet sinister.

This headless dragon, holding its blood-drenched dragon head, cried out to all the living:

"Buddhist Demon of the Western Heavens, give me back my life! Give me back my life! Five hundred years ago you plotted to kill me, and now you’ve deceived my nine children into assisting a tyrant, come out! Come out! I want your life!"

"What? It’s actually a Dragon Soul?"

Mahaparinirvana and Pei Yuanjing, along with Xie Wenren hiding in the shadows, exclaimed in shock. However, Li Ping’an was utterly calm, tilting his head and lightly calling out to the Dragon King of the Jing River:

"Dream Marriage! Divine Travel!"

After Li Ping’an’s soft command, the Dragon King of the Jing River flew beneath him, respectfully saying:

"The Old Dragon King of the Jing River pays respects to Immortal Li!"

"What’s going on? Dragon King of the Jing River? You know him?"

Mahaparinirvana and Pei Yuanjing, along with Xie Wenren still hiding in the shadows, exclaimed again, while Li Ping’an turned his head and looked disdainfully at Pei Yuanjing, scornfully saying:

"Why battle with me elsewhere when you chose to do so in the Fallen Dragon Pit? You should know, this is my domain, even if Laozi himself came here, I’d make him lose a layer of skin!"

Having said that, Li Ping’an immediately used Divine Skills to control the Dragon King of the Jing River, who carried him into the sky at a speed beyond reach!

"Playing tricks! Li Ping’an, don’t think you can escape! I won’t rest until I kill you today!"

Pei Yuanjing thought Li Ping’an was about to flee on the Dragon Soul, and immediately pursued with the Immortal Slaying Sword in hand.

Just as the Dragon King of the Jing River was carrying Li Ping’an ninety-nine meters above the ground, Li Ping’an immediately commanded the Dragon King of the Jing River to execute a Divine Dragon Tail Wag. With a slap of its tail towards the sky, two Barrier Formations suddenly appeared above the Fallen Dragon Pit, enveloping Li Ping’an, Pei Yuanjing, Mahaparinirvana, and Xie Wenren, who was hiding in the shadows.

As the various forces rushed towards the Fallen Dragon Pit, they suddenly lost all sensation of the tremendous noise’s source, as if nothing had happened. An eerie quiet fell abruptly, leaving them standing puzzled and looking towards the direction of the Fallen Dragon Pit with skeptical faces.

"Pei Yuanjing, you’re too arrogant! You think I want to escape? No, no, no! I only fear that you might flee! The Barrier of the Fallen Dragon Pit has already been activated, you won’t be able to escape without my command!"

Li Ping’an sat on the neck of the Dragon King of the Jing River, leisurely stroking its mane, radiating a sense of pride as if showing off, incredibly pleased with himself!

"Enough with the charades! I’ll kill you first!"

Pei Yuanjing had never imagined that the rumors about the haunted Fallen Dragon Pit were true, and it wasn’t just any ghost—it was a substantial Dragon Soul, truly formidable!

But what of the Dragon Soul? After all, it’s just a ghost, and he didn’t take it to heart. Relying on his cultivation which was on the verge of breaking through to the mysterious heart realm, and with the Divine Immortal Slaying Sword in hand, he continued to fly, charging down at Li Ping’an riding the dragon!

"Still unwilling to cease? Very well! Today, I will silently kill you right here!"

Li Ping’an pointed to his storage gourd at his waist:

"Object Control! Rod, come! Hundred Plays Nuo Mask"

Mahaparinirvana, Pei Yuanjing, and Xie Wenren, lurking in the shadows, saw something the size of a silk thread and a fingernail emerge from Li Ping’an’s storage gourd, which then instantaneously returned to its original size and length as soon as it completely flew out of the gourd.

Only then did the onlookers realize that it was an exquisite rod and a strange mask!

With the clank of a bell, Li Ping’an had already absorbed the Spiritual Essence; his body felt refreshed, spirited, and brimming with endless energy. Wearing the complete set of six artifacts, reaching peak values on the Attribute Template, he immediately grabbed the Hundred Plays Steel Rod and not only blocked a thrust of Pei Yuanjing’s sword but also struck back with the rod, sending Pei Yuanjing plummeting from the sky!

At this moment, Li Ping’an, whose face was no longer visible, appeared devilishly charming, arrogant, and domineering in the eyes of the spectators, especially as he stood on the neck of the Dragon King of the Jing River high above. His figure was like a demon descending from the heavens, truly like a Dragon Lord from the Western Heaven. Those who did not know might think he was a Dragon Lord descending from the Western Heaven. Those who knew his strength could only marvel at his power!

"This Li Ping’an actually has connections with the Dragon Clan! I must kill him even more so now!"

Xie Wenren, who was inadvertently saved by the blood rain of the Dragon King of the Jing River, saw Li Ping’an descend like a heavenly god and felt a mix of shock, fear, and excitement. He pondered that if he could not kill Li Ping’an today, there would never be a chance to take revenge in the future!

Pei Yuanjing, who was falling continuously, looked up at the unfathomable Li Ping’an and expressed his surprise:

"You still have a weapon? And it’s actually a rod? That’s rare!"

"Hahaha! How could I, an Earth Immortal, possibly use a piece of scrap iron as a weapon? It was just for misleading others!"

As Li Ping’an controlled the Dragon King of the Jing River to fly downward, he casually swung the Hundred Plays Steel Rod and said fiercely:

"Pei Yuanjing! Do you know why I suddenly switched to using a rod?"

"Monkey tricks? Hahaha!"

Pei Yuanjing, who was continuously plummeting, had not yet grasped the gravity of the situation and actually sneered with disdain!

"When I use this weapon, it means I no longer need to hide!"

"What do you mean?"

Pei Yuanjing couldn’t see Li Ping’an’s facial expression and could only guess at his intentions through the two eyes visible under the Hundred Plays Nuo Mask.

He then saw the lively eyes beneath the mask suddenly filled with murderous intent, domineering and ruthless as Li Ping’an said:

"Because you must die today!"

"Hehe, such big talk!"

Finally landing, Pei Yuanjing squinted his eyes and looked up arrogantly:

"I can feel the palpitations in my heart, the enlightenment of the Spirit Platform. I’m about to leap over the Dragon Gate and step into the Domain of the Terrestrial Immortals!"

With the Immortal Slaying Sword confidently pointing at Li Ping’an who was hovering fifty meters in the air, Pei Yuanjing shook his head and spoke contemptuously:

"Just with a small Earth Immortal like you and this ghost, you think you can kill me? Pah! Keep dreaming!"

Although Pei Yuanjing was still stubborn with his words, he had already grown somewhat wary in his heart—after all, even if it was a ghost, it was a dragon ghost, and not just any dragon but the ghost of the Dragon King of the Jing River! The Dragon King of the Jing River was once the strongest among the four great Dragon Kings!

Therefore, he no longer planned to use Li Ping’an and Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, as stepping stones to elevate his own Realm. He proceeded to unleash what he believed to be his most powerful Mixed Technique directly at Li Ping’an above the Dragon King of the Jing River.

"Immortal Slaying Flame Sword!"

Li Ping’an, Mahaparinirvana, and Xie Wenren, who was hiding, saw Pei Yuanjing summon his severed arm, burn his essence blood again to activate the stronger Four Red Suns Formation, and then place the Immortal Slaying Sword into the fiery Formation. Finally, he thrust fiercely at Li Ping’an from afar.

The Sword Qi of the Immortal Slaying Sword pierced forward first, then ignited the flames within the Four Red Suns Formation. Those flames kept attaching to the Sword Qi of the Immortal Slaying Sword, making it not only larger but also enveloped with countless flames, resulting in a fifty-meter long fiery Sword Qi attack. If not for Li Ping’an being right in front of the sword tip, it could probably have extended indefinitely.

"Hehe!"

Li Ping’an simply sneered and tapped the Dragon King of the Jing River on the neck gently with the Hundred Plays Steel Rod, commanding:

"Old Dragon King, this ignorant creature is yours to deal with!"

"Yes, Immortal!"

Facing the Immortal Slaying Flame Sword which was only a dozen feet away, the Dragon King of the Jing River merely opened his mouth slightly and suddenly spewed out a massive spring of water, extinguishing all the flames on the Sword Qi of the Immortal Slaying Sword. The original form of the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi, the same size as the actual sword, continued its advance toward Li Ping’an.

With a thunderous boom, the Dragon King of the Jing River just slightly shook its head, and a bolt of lightning appeared within the Barrier, completely dissipating the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi!

"What! How could this be possible?"

Pei Yuanjing’s eyes widened in shock, incredulous at the sight before him!
