Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 292 The Fall of a Great Demon
On the Pingdingjiang River, amidst a sea of ​​mist, the cloud-shrouded mountains suppress demons.

Transformed into a dragon, Jiang Chen coiled atop the cloud-covered mountain, his dragon might awe-inspiring and arrogant. After successfully suppressing Crocodile Abyss, his aura grew even stronger, and even the misty sea could not completely block it.

At this moment, all the creatures nearby felt fear upon sensing this oppressive aura.

Just now, because Jiang Chen used two cloud mountains in succession, the fog sea was in great turmoil, but they were able to vaguely glimpse some scenes in the fog sea. They saw with their own eyes that Jiang Chen, who had transformed into a dragon, suppressed Crocodile Abyss with terrifying power.

For a moment, their gazes toward Jiang Chen were filled with awe, but also with some worry.

However, Jiang Chen had no time to pay attention to these things at the moment; he focused more on Qu Shize.

"They really left decisively."

Upon catching some traces in the sea of ​​fog, a look of surprise flashed across Jiang Chen's face.

Although the Cloud Mountain Mist was miraculous, it was not an unbreakable technique. Furthermore, in order to suppress Crocodile Abyss, he had used two Cloud Mountains in succession, but he was powerless to trap Qu Shize again.

He originally thought that Qu Shize would not give up on E Yuan so easily, and would at least try to save E Yuan from his hands. But he did not expect that Qu Shize would leave directly without making any attempt. He left very decisively and treated E Yuan as a pawn to be abandoned.

"So be it, it's better that they're leaving. Although I've forged a high-grade Dao Foundation and can maintain my spiritual state for a longer time, it's still limited. If I were to fight to the death with a Dao Foundation cultivator who clearly has some skills, I would inevitably have to pay a price, which isn't worth it."

A thought crossed his mind, and looking in the direction Qu Shize had left, Jiang Chen did not pursue him.

Although he had focused most of his energy on Crocodile Abyss, he still managed to see through some of Qu Shize's methods through the fog. Qu Shize was well-off and had impressive skills, clearly having a strong background. If military formations were not taken into account, Qu Shize's strength might even surpass that of Crocodile Abyss.

"It seems your allies aren't so reliable after all."

Lowering his gaze, Jiang Chen looked at Crocodile Abyss, which was suppressed beneath Cloud Mountain.

Sensing Jiang Chen's gaze, Crocodile Abyss barely opened his eyes, his eyes filled with ferocity.

"Dragon, we have no grudges or conflicts of interest. I don't understand why you want to deal with me. You should know that we are both demons and should stick together for warmth."

Roaring angrily, Crocodile Abyss was filled with confusion. It couldn't understand why the dragon would attack it. It was certain that it had no grudge against the dragon, nor did it have any great opportunities that the dragon would covet.

Looking at Crocodile Abyss like this, Jiang Chen's face showed a hint of sigh. The once mighty demon was now no different from a defeated dog, only able to rage helplessly.

“We don’t really have any major grudges, but you shouldn’t have extended your reach into the four southern prefectures. I wanted to cultivate in peace, but you’ve disrupted that tranquility.”

"Also, although you don't have any great opportunities, your body is quite good."

With his spiritual energy circulating, Jiang Chen extended his dragon claw.

"No···"

Feeling the power of the dragon's claws and truly smelling the scent of death, Crocodile Abyss mustered all his strength and tried to struggle, but he couldn't do it at all.

The next instant, the dragon's claws fell, tearing the crocodile abyss's demonic body apart.

"die!"

With a burst of spiritual energy, Jiang Chen severed Crocodile Abyss's life force. Yun Shan's suppression of Crocodile Abyss had its limits. With his current abilities, truly controlling a Dao Foundation level demon would be quite troublesome. The simplest and safest way was to kill it.

With a roar, life was extinguished, Crocodile Abyss let out a powerless wail, and instantly died. A great demon of his generation perished.

"After this battle, the demon race suffered heavy losses, and the four southern prefectures can finally have some peace and quiet. It's time to leave."

Having confirmed that Crocodile Abyss was dead and temporarily gathered its soul, Jiang Chen decided to leave.

With a long, resounding roar, Jiang Chen soared into the sky, grabbing Crocodile Abyss's spine with one hand.

On Pingding Mountain, upon hearing the dragon's roar and watching Jiang Chen, transformed into a dragon, leap out of the sea of ​​mist, everyone was momentarily stunned. At this moment, under the golden sunlight, Jiang Chen's originally ferocious white bone dragon body had gained a touch of sacredness.

The crocodile, held in its grasp like a dead dog, further amplified its power, inspiring both awe and fear.

And so, under everyone's watchful eyes, Jiang Chen's figure finally disappeared into the clouds. Only after Jiang Chen's figure disappeared did the solemn atmosphere on Pingdingshan ease slightly, and the sound of breathing, some light and some heavy, could be heard.

Previously, under the influence of Jiang Chen's invisible aura, many people involuntarily held their breath, fearing that they would attract Jiang Chen's attention.

"What a terrifying dragon."

"Crocodile Abyss was defeated just like that; I wonder if he's dead or alive."

"But who knows what this dragon plans to do next."

There was much discussion, with some feeling relieved, some excited, and some worried. However, overall, most people were happy. After all, the two rivers had converged, and the dragon had come riding the momentum of heaven and earth. Regardless of its purpose, the fact that the demon army had suffered a crushing defeat was undeniable.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for human cultivators. After today, the borderland demon race will no longer be a threat and will not be able to pose a threat to the human race for a long time.

"Is this the method of your sect leader? He actually managed to summon such a powerful dragon."

His mind was in turmoil and he could not calm down for a long time. Chang Jin, the prefect of Leshan County, turned his gaze to Fu Ling Sanren, who stood to the side with a calm expression, as if he had a plan in mind.

Upon hearing this, Fu Ling Sanren was slightly taken aback. To be honest, this was somewhat different from what he had originally expected.

"maybe."

Ambiguous, Fu Ling Sanren gave an uncertain answer.

Upon receiving this answer, Chang Jin gave Fu Ling Sanren a deep look but didn't say anything more. He planned to try to get closer to Du Zhong later. In his opinion, Yanqiu was probably easier to associate with this dragon than Taiping Sect, since the lord of Yanqiu was a Frost Dragon.

He wondered what the relationship was between this dragon and the Frost Dragon, and whether it was an elder of the Frost Dragon. As for the Frost Dragon's advancement to the Dao Foundation stage, the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before disappearing. It wasn't that he didn't believe the Frost Dragon could forge a Dao Foundation, but rather that the Frost Dragon's combat power this time was far too strong.

Crocodile Abyss had been building its foundation for many years and was infamous in the south. He simply couldn't believe that it would be defeated by a newly established foundation.

Furthermore, as the governor of Leshan County, he was not entirely ignorant about Foundation Establishment cultivators. The methods that Jiang Chen had just displayed were far beyond what an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could possess.

While everyone was preoccupied with Jiang Chen's origins, Jiang Chen had already traveled downstream, passed through Qing Teng County, and entered the borderlands, where Crocodile Abyss's lair, Blackwater Dock, was located.
