The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 188 Since they've gotten involved, they can't expect to stay out of it.

Although the black fish demon fled in panic, it kept a close eye on Li Jingxiao's whereabouts.

Seeing him throw out a magical weapon, he thought to himself, "This is bad."

He tried his best to speed up, but no matter how fast he ran, he was caught up by the Immortal Binding Rope in just a few seconds.

After entangled in the black fish demon's tail, the black fish demon's speed immediately slowed down.

Then the binding rope wrapped around his body, eventually binding his entire fish body tightly, leaving him only able to frantically splash the lake water.

Li Jingxiao was just thinking about how it would taste if he stewed the black fish spirit for a fish feast after killing it.

Suddenly, a black light shot out from a distance at an extremely fast speed towards Li Jingxiao.

Just as Li Jingxiao was about to sidestep, the black light suddenly accelerated.

With a loud "bang," a foot-long, pitch-black awl struck the light shield of the Golden Bell Shield.

The shockwave caused waves half a meter high to erupt on the surrounding lake surface, demonstrating the immense power of the attack.

Fortunately, the Golden Bell Shield has been upgraded to the highest level, and its defensive power is indeed extremely strong.

However, although the cone-shaped magic weapon was blocked, it still made Li Jingxiao's heart race, and he felt the threat of death for the first time.

Then came fury.

He took out his +2 Demon-Subduing Mace and, without a second thought, fiercely slashed down at the cone-shaped magic weapon.

The Demon-Subduing Mace, with its armor-piercing, demon-subduing, and evil-slaying abilities, clanged with a loud bang.

As the mace cleaved the cone-shaped magic weapon away, the tip of the cone was also shattered by the Demon-Subduing Mace.

A furious shout came from afar, but Li Jingxiao was not angry but pleased.

Just when I was thinking about how to find the person who ambushed me, this person came to me of their own accord, which was perfect.

Li Jingxiao grinned maliciously and darted out.

A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck the person who came.

The lightning was so fast that the man could only instinctively raise his hand to shield his head.

Struck by lightning in an instant, Li Jingxiao took advantage of the moment when the other party's vision was blocked.

He closed in at lightning speed, and with a swift, mid-air strike, cleaved the attacker's head with his mace.

When the man saw the Demon-Subduing Mace clearly, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he took out a three-meter-long silver halberd with coiled dragons and raised it to block.

However, as Li Jingxiao struck in anger, the thunderous power within his body had already been attached to the Demon-Subduing Mace.

The armor-piercing effect kicked in again, and with a single blow, it bent the dragon-patterned halberd. The accompanying lightning power also made the hair of the person in the middle stand on end.

Li Jingxiao was just about to take advantage of your illness to kill you. The middle-aged man, seeing that he couldn't withstand the Demon-Subduing Mace, no longer cared about whether his identity would be exposed.

He threw away the bent halberd in his hand and let out a dragon's roar.

It transformed into a four-clawed dragon tens of meters long, and opened its mouth as if to swallow Li Jingxiao whole.

Unexpectedly, Li Jingxiao was only surprised for a second at the fact that his opponent was actually a dragon, and he immediately shouted "Freeze!"

The dragon was immediately frozen in mid-air, a flash of panic and fear crossing its eyes.

Then he watched helplessly as Li Jingxiao grinned maliciously, raised the Demon-Slaying Mace, and clenched it down fiercely on his head with gritted teeth.

With a loud bang, dragon blood splattered everywhere, and Li Jingxiao was also thrown back twenty or thirty meters by the force of the impact.

However, he was protected by the Golden Bell Shield and was not injured at all.

The dragon managed to break free of the immobilization spell at the last moment, but it only managed to tilt its head slightly to the side.

A short, straight, unbranched dragon horn, resembling an unsharpened spear.

As Li Jingxiao cleaved it in two with his mace, the Demon-Subduing Mace that struck his forehead also lost six-tenths of its force.

But this attack still made the dragon feel as if its entire head had been split open.

A surge of demon-slaying and evil-exterminating power rushed into his body through his head, running rampant everywhere.

Only now did the dragon truly understand what had happened after his father and the old Taoist priest of the Lingbao Sect fought a great battle.

Why did it take over a hundred years for someone severely injured by the Demon-Subduing Mace to recover?

Li Jingxiao didn't care what the dragon was thinking; if anyone wanted to kill him, he would kill the other party first.

He leaped up, raised the Demon-Slaying Mace and struck again, while secretly taking out the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

While pretending to chop, he actually secretly fanned himself with his precious fan a few times.

Even the Immortal Binding Rope that bound the black fish demon secretly flew back and launched a sneak attack on the dragon from below.

The dragon was dizzy and disoriented, so it couldn't see through Li Jingxiao's feint and dared not take the Demon-Subduing Mace head-on.

He could only open his mouth and exhale a stream of extremely cold icy air to block the five-colored flames while turning and running away.

But no matter how fast he ran, even though he avoided the Demon-Subduing Mace, he couldn't outrun Li Jingxiao's sword control technique.

With a thought, Li Jingxiao's body rose more than ten meters into the air, and with a "whoosh," he easily caught up with them.

He waved his fan at the dragon again.

This time, the flames were so close that there was no way to avoid them.

Entangled in five flames, the dragon tumbled in the air, letting out a tremendous roar.

He tried to rush into the lake to extinguish the five fires, but was caught off guard by the Binding Immortal Rope.

Li Jingxiao also took the opportunity to wave his precious fan at the dragon several times.

The flames immediately spread like oil, burning the dragon's skin until it ripped open and sizzled.

As it tumbled through the air, mournful cries echoed throughout the entire Jieshou Lake.

Anyone could tell how much pain this guy was in.

But Li Jingxiao was not giving up. He didn't give the dragon any chance to fight back at all, and he was fanning himself with his precious fan.

In just a moment, the flames filled the sky, forcing Li Jingxiao to retreat dozens of meters.

Even the Immortal Binding Rope was heated red-hot.

However, the fact that Li Jingxiao himself couldn't get close doesn't mean that the flying sword couldn't.

He controlled the Demon-Subduing Mace with his sword-wielding technique, and more than a dozen flying swords appeared around his body, each imbued with the power of lightning.

Just as he was about to hack the dragon to death with his sword, a figure suddenly appeared in the air a dozen meters away.

He shouted to himself, "Duke Xingguo, you must not burn this Prince Tianchi to death!"

Upon closer inspection, Li Jingxiao realized it was actually the City God of Yangzhou Prefecture.

While filled with curiosity, he disobeyed and extinguished the five flames.

Upon seeing this, the City God hurriedly said, "Duke Xingguo, this Prince of Tianchi is not only the only son of the Dragon King of Tianchi, but he has also married the One-Horned Ghost King, becoming the Ghost King's father-in-law."

Moreover, his grandfather was a great demon from Kunlun Mountain, and his maternal uncle was of even higher status.

If he dies, not only will the Dragon King of Tianchi surely avenge his son.

The One-Horned Ghost King and the other dragon kings of the martial world will not let this go easily.

Unless you have the ability to fight two demon kings and numerous dragons single-handedly, the Crown Prince of Tianchi cannot die.

Li Jingxiao instantly recalled the wedding he had inadvertently witnessed in the southern section of the Greater Khingan Mountains.

And there was that old man who was peeking just like me.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that the middle-aged man who had just transformed from the dragon looked very similar to the middle-aged man carrying the bride out of the sedan chair at the wedding.

Furthermore, the dozen or so blue-faced and red-haired ghosts just now also resembled many of the evil spirits in the wedding procession.

He had no choice but to take the City God's words seriously. Seeing Li Jingxiao hesitate, the City God quickly advised him again, "Duke Xingguo, this Prince of Tianchi is nothing more than a defeated opponent to you."

Moreover, having suffered such a severe injury, it will certainly take at least a century to recover.

"And a hundred years from now, let alone this crown prince, even the Dragon King of Tianchi and the One-Horned Ghost King will have to behave themselves before you."

Li Jingxiao liked to hear this, chuckled, and waved the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan in his hand a few times.

Just when the City God thought that Li Jingxiao was ignoring advice and was determined to kill the dragon...

The five-colored flames that were still burning were suddenly drawn back into the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

The City God's gaze involuntarily fell upon the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

He thought to himself that this magic weapon was truly extraordinary, and wondered where the Duke of Xingguo had obtained such a powerful magic weapon.

Although Li Jingxiao had extinguished the flames, the Immortal Binding Rope still bound the dragon.

Just moments ago, the majestic dragon, several tens of meters long, was now charred black and its flesh mangled.

In many places, the dragon's bones have been exposed, and a dragon horn has been broken off from its head. On its forehead, a crack is being pierced by demon-slaying and evil-exorcising powers, which are constantly preventing the dragon's magic from healing its wound.

It looks as miserable as it could possibly be.

Moreover, judging from the looks of it, this guy might not even need Li Jingxiao to lift a finger; he'll be seriously injured and go to meet the King of Hell on his own.

The City God was greatly alarmed, and his gaze toward Li Jingxiao was filled with three parts helplessness, three parts dissatisfaction, and three parts anxiety.

Li Jingxiao finally understood. Since the other party had so many powerful backers, killing this dragon was like beating the little one and provoking the big one.

But it's impossible for him to release the people.

If we don't capture this guy as a hostage, who knows if the Dragon King of Tianchi might come knocking on our door tomorrow?

Before I've truly grown up, it seems not so bad to keep them by my side as hostages and use them as mounts.

With a flick of his finger, he launched a level 40 pill with 800 HP, which flew into the wound on the dragon's forehead.

The elixir dissolved in the dragon's blood and entered the dragon's body, instantly healing the wound on its forehead by about 30%.

The charred skin on the dragon's head began to peel off, and new skin grew back in a short time.

Even the broken dragon horns have grown back, but unfortunately they are only as long as daggers and then they stop growing.

One is long and the other is short; it looks really ugly.

The City God was overjoyed.

The dragon had recovered somewhat, and when it looked at Li Jingxiao, it was with deep fear.

Li Jingxiao pursed his lips and took out a horse token from his inventory.

Trying to forcibly tame this dragon prince, the horse's suction force caused it to be knocked away by a divine light as soon as it got close to the dragon.

The City God said irritably, "Don't bother, this is a dragon that has already grown two horns."

"If you want to forcibly take him as a mount, the level of this magic item you have isn't high enough."

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but purse his lips, but this horse token was dropped from a level 20 map.

When we subdued Jin Yangjun last time, the tiger demon was beaten half to death, but it still resisted being subdued by Ma Pai.

Until you throw a punch, try again, throw another punch, and try again.

It took several rounds of back and forth before Jin Yangjun was forced to accept the appointment, and only then was he forcibly subdued.

When the City God saw that he had put away the horse token, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He said with a smile, "Duke Xingguo, if you cultivate for another hundred years or so, you might be able to tame not only flood dragons, but even real dragons as your mounts."

There's really no need to bother with a third-generation demon of such status and powerful backing.

Li Jingxiao curled his lip, thinking that after a hundred years of cultivation, he might not even look at a true dragon in front of him anymore.

But then I thought about it again, and it seems that most of the big shots in Heaven have mounts that are only as strong as their disciples.

In Journey to the West, the truly powerful mount is the Nine-Headed Lion, the mount of the Eastern Azure Emperor and the Great Sage of Salvation from Suffering.

The Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun in Journey to the West is not the Taiyi Zhenren in Investiture of the Gods.

One is the Great Emperor of Qinghua in the Eastern Pole, who wields immense power.

One is one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect in Investiture of the Gods, while Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods are fundamentally two different systems and worlds.

Li Jingxiao then gave up the idea of ​​taking the dragon as his mount.

If we're really going to take them in, we need to take in truly powerful demons.

Not quite on par with Sun Wukong, but not too far behind either.

Moreover, there are many mounts more powerful than dragons, phoenixes, and qilin.

Then Li Jingxiao glanced at the City God. Now that he was involved, he couldn't just stay out of it.

Li Jingxiao's eyes darted around, and he suddenly smiled as he looked at the City God and said, "Lord Weiling, it's fine if you don't kill this mudfish, but you have to suppress this guy for a hundred years."

Otherwise, I wouldn't dare let him go, lest his father or the Ghost King's son-in-law come looking for me tomorrow.

"And if Old Dragon of Tianchi and the Ghost King really come looking for me, you'll have to help me."

The City God of Yangzhou was immediately at his wit's end.

I cursed under my breath, but I was only giving you advice for your own good.

If we really kill this prince, we will be making a blood feud with the Dragon King of Tianchi.

Now he's actually dragging himself into this mess; he's really not a human being.

Moreover, in the end, he was nothing more than an official in the underworld.

Although he has a wide range of responsibilities, when there are local matters to attend to, he may even send a dream to a certain official if he is in a good mood.

They can be considered to be able to intervene in worldly affairs.

But there is a difference between participating and actually managing human affairs.

Seeing the City God hesitate, Li Jingxiao immediately said, "Lord Weiling, if you don't care, then don't worry about what I'm going to do later."

The City God immediately shook his head, thinking of how Li Jingxiao had built so many mounds of Jingguan on the grasslands.

If Li Jingxiao were to act recklessly, he might even be capable of things like skinning someone alive.

Moreover, if he were to hide in Maoshan, the Dragon King of Tianchi would only dare to stir up trouble outside the pass.

At that time, the people who died tragically outside the pass will also have some of their sins added to the head of the City God.

The City God gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I will detain this Prince of Tianchi in the underworld for a hundred years."

This also serves as a warning to the demons beyond the Great Wall that the Great Zhou is not a place where they can cause trouble at will.

If peace prevails for the next hundred years, that would be a great achievement.

Li Jingxiao's attitude immediately changed, and he cupped his hands and kept saying flattering things.

The City God rolled his eyes at this. He gestured for Li Jingxiao to retract the Binding Immortal Rope, then threw out a pitch-black chain, which bound the dragon and flew back to the City God Temple in Yangzhou.

Li Jingxiao chuckled, landed on the lake, took out a level 20 water-spreading fan, and waved it a few times at the lake surface.

Suddenly, the lake split into two parts, revealing the coiled dragon halberd that the dragon had just thrown away.

Although the halberd was bent by the Demon-Subduing Mace, it still looks like a fine weapon.

Moreover, the golden dragon and bright silver spear body alone are enough to impress people.

Take it to the game's blacksmith shop to repair it, and then enhance it with +1 or +2 spirit stones. Maybe it will be almost as good as a +2 Demon-Subduing Mace.
