Chapter 203: Chapter 172: Seizing the Immortal Slaying Sword!

"You beast! You’re merely a cultivator, yet you dare to question the power of the Dragon Clan! Death would be a mercy for you!"

Li Ping’an mocked again!

"I don’t believe it! A ghost is just a ghost! It can’t possibly be some Dragon God! Flames Burning the Sky!"

Pei Yuanjing tried the same trick again, only to have it easily resolved by the Dragon King of Jing River’s Water System Spells. After witnessing the Dragon King’s prowess, Pei Yuanjing finally realized the vast gap between the Human Race and the Dragon Clan. Even as a ghost, he was more formidable than a cultivator, and he understood that with his current strength, it was impossible to kill the ghost of the Dragon King of Jing River!

So, to defeat the Dragon King of Jing River, he must first kill Li Ping’an, who made him listen and obey without question!

Li Ping’an couldn’t be bothered to waste more time with Pei Yuanjing and ordered the Dragon King of Jing River:

"Old Dragon King, this scoundrel says you’re a ghost! Can you tolerate that? I sure can’t! Kill him!"

"Yes, Immortal!"

Just as the Dragon King of Jing River agreed, Pei Yuanjing immediately charged at Li Ping’an with extreme speed, wielding the Immortal Slaying Sword. The Dragon King of Jing River simply yawned, and with a thunderous roar, a bolt of lightning struck towards Pei Yuanjing!

"I’ll block!"

Pei Yuanjing immediately attempted to block with the Immortal Slaying Sword. Apart from a tingling numbness in his arm, he was unharmed. Moreover, he was getting closer and closer to Li Ping’an, and said smugly:

"Dragon Soul? That’s all there is to it!"

Just as Pei Yuanjing was about to kill Li Ping’an, Li Ping’an showed no intense reaction, only yawning out of boredom.

"Go to hell!"

At the moment Pei Yuanjing was about to kill Li Ping’an, the next second triggered a Formation within the Barrier, and a giant palm pressed the smug Pei Yuanjing swiftly to the ground!

"Hmm? Whose spell is this? Li Ping’an’s or the Dragon King of Jing River’s?"

Although Pei Yuanjing landed steadily, he was utterly confused and left with a stinging defeat.

"Thunder Technique, Heaven Extinguishing Earth Destroying!"

The Dragon King of Jing River’s desire to kill had arisen; he pointed a single claw towards the sky, reciting a spell. In an instant, the skies above the dismal Fallen Dragon Pit, within a mile’s radius, became obscured by a cover of clouds. Amidst them, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as an even bigger blood rain fell, and a pungent wind that swept through the Barrier arose.

Boom! Boom!

Now that the weather was set, brightness and darkness alternated within the clouds. Several bolts of lightning struck down towards Pei Yuanjing. This scene resembled a Heavenly God controlling the lightning within the clouds, using flashes of lightning as his sword and thunder as his knife, incessantly slashing at Pei Yuanjing. It was then that he realized the might of the Dragon God – this Thunder Technique was countless times more powerful than Li Ping’an’s Five Thunder Technique.

Of course, just like when Li Ping’an first arrived at the Fallen Dragon Pit, such a cataclysmic event could only be witnessed within the Barrier; outside, everything remained as before.

Another lightning bolt fiercely struck towards Pei Yuanjing, who dared not block with the Immortal Slaying Sword anymore. It wasn’t the sword he feared being destroyed by the lightning; it was that his arm was almost numbed by the strikes!

He knew that if he continued to block with the Immortal Slaying Sword, it would inevitably be knocked out of his hand by the lightning, and without the sword, he would undoubtedly die!

At that moment, Pei Yuanjing was scared. He feared the Dragon King of Jing River’s Thunder Technique, feared Li Ping’an – an unaffiliated Demon with so many bizarre and peculiar methods. He could have killed Li Ping’an several times, but now his fear of death loomed even larger!

"Since I’m no match for the Dragon King of Jing River, it’s time to make a quick escape!"

That’s when Pei Yuanjing remembered he needed to flee immediately. He turned and flew towards where his arm was severed, picked it up, and attempted to fly out of the Barrier, with thunder and lightning in pursuit.

In just that moment, any lightning that missed Pei Yuanjing and struck the ground not only blasted a huge crater but also scorched the earth into cinders within.

"I didn’t expect my Brother Yan to have the power to command the Dragon Clan, tsk-tsk-tsk! Incredible!"

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, only now realized that his brother had kept far too much hidden, far more formidable than imaginable. Now with the Dragon Clan taking action, he completely assumed the role of an indifferent Shopkeeper, waiting for Pei Yuanjing to be killed by Li Ping’an and the Dragon King of Jing River!

With several booms, more lightning struck rapidly, and Pei Yuanjing on the run didn’t dare to resist any longer, so he continued to dodge and flee without stopping.

The faster Pei Yuanjing tried to escape, the faster the lightning targeted him. It was as if he were trapped in a mechanism filled with hidden weapons, left to desperately run for his life.

This scene was strikingly similar to when Li Ping’an first fought the Dragon King of Jing River, only now Pei Yuanjing became the old Li Ping’an, and Li Ping’an himself merely had to wait for Pei Yuanjing to be struck dead by the lightning and then reap the benefits!

"Running on legs is too slow; I’ll try flying again!"

Pei Yuanjing, determined to escape the Fallen Dragon Pit quickly, boldly leapt into the air, only to look up and see a massive Buddha hand pressing down from the sky toward him.

"Damn it!"

Pei Yuanjing, finally breaking his composure and cursing, changed from flying and continued to run on foot. At the same time, the Buddha hand that appeared in the sky vanished!

"Pei Yuanjing! You damn well better not run towards me!"

Xie Wenren, who was hiding in the shadows, saw Pei Yuanjing running towards the left side where he was. This half of the region was still intact and a perfect place to hide. Just then, Pei Yuanjing indeed headed his way.

"Lead the trouble away? Then don’t blame me!"
