Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

"No need, neither of us can afford it." Faced with the crocodile demon's surrender, Zhou Yan said coldly. Then, he summoned the Dragon Pearl and Heavy Water at the same time. The two orbs attacked him from the left and right.

"Snake demon, you've gone too far!"

Seeing that Zhou Yan immediately used a killing move that Shui Ying had never experienced, the crocodile demon roared and spat out black sand, which formed a suit of armor on its back. Then it turned around and fled into the distance.

But before he could get very far, two streaks of light slammed into him.

"Pfft~"

The black sand was pierced, and the crocodile demon immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsed on the water's surface, and lost its breath.

"Roar~"

At this moment, even the piranha's inadequate brain couldn't help but feel waves of fear, and its body involuntarily drooped.

"I almost forgot about you."

Zhou Yan didn't waste any words with him. He released the Dragon Pearl and Heavy Water at the same time, which turned into two streams of light.

Sensing the approach of death, the piranha let out a low growl, and a crimson glow enveloped its entire body, causing it to grow several sizes larger.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and a beam of light exuding a bloody aura shot out from his mouth.

The Dragon Balls and Heavy Water were swept away and immediately stopped in mid-air, where they were locked in a stalemate.

"Um?"

Zhou Yan raised an eyebrow, and then let out a dragon's roar. The entire surface of the lake began to surge, and giant waves rushed towards the piranhas.

"Pfft~"

The relentless attacks disrupted the piranha's rhythm, and the beam of light in its mouth suddenly weakened.

Zhou Yan certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass him by. He immediately manipulated the heavy water to split into several round beads.

"Bang bang bang~"

The murky surface of the lake was instantly covered in blood. The piranha had bowl-sized wounds neatly arranged on its body. The beam of light in its mouth could no longer be maintained and dissipated.

"Boom!" The Dragon Ball fell, and his head exploded like a watermelon, scattering across the ground.

After retrieving the Dragon Ball and the heavy water, Zhou Yan stretched out his body and opened his mouth, generating a suction force.

The corpses of piranhas, water scorpions, and crocodile demons flew into his mouth with a whoosh, and he swallowed them whole.

"Phew~" Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the fullness in his body, and a satisfied look appeared in his eyes.

These three demons are only slightly weaker than me in cultivation, making them excellent tonics.

Once he had finished digesting it, he figured he had reached a bottleneck, and the next thing he needed to do was think about how to transform into a dragon.

He put aside his inner thoughts and then came to Jinhua's side.

"唳~"

Despite being on its last breath, Jin Hua's eyes still held a constant killing intent as it glared at Zhou Yan, crying out defiantly. Unfortunately, to Zhou Yan, it was completely harmless.

With a thought, he conjured a water claw and grasped the critically injured and dying Jin Hua in his hand.

With a sudden burst of strength, Jinhua only managed a weak scream before losing his life.

Opening his mouth and suppressing the urge to eat his fill, Zhou Yan reached in and threw Jin Hua's bird carcass into the water, then activated the water flow.

In an instant, the entire battlefield surged with waves, and soon all traces of the battle vanished.

Once the water returned to calm, Zhou Yan turned around and swam eastward. It was time to settle accounts with the remaining water monkeys.

…………

On the west side of Changmingze, beneath the water's surface, in a stone cave, sits a metal throne inlaid with gemstones. In the past, this was the water monkey's throne to display his majesty, and the water monkey cherished it dearly.

But at this moment, he didn't care about any of that. He picked up the stone stick and started hitting the throne, picking up the gems one by one.

"Damn water scorpions, damn snake demons..."

As he moved, he cursed angrily, his face full of resentment.

"I'll remember this grudge. When your grandpa monkey has mastered cultivation, I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death."

After spending a short while collecting the treasures, the water monkey breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his things, and prepared to swim towards the surface of the water.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a snake demon has come outside and demands that Your Majesty leave."

A slightly smaller water monkey suddenly darted in from outside and said to him anxiously.

"What?"

The water monkey's expression immediately changed. How could this guy be so fast? How could those guys be so useless? They couldn't even hold off the snake demon for a quarter of an hour.

With their path blocked, the water monkey disregarded his subordinates and said directly, "You all go and entangle that snake demon first, I'll be there shortly."

After saying that, he turned around and swam towards the back. There was also a way out behind him, but the path was difficult to walk.

But before he could swim a few steps, the surrounding water suddenly began to flow rapidly, and a wall of water rose up in front of him.

"Water monkey, it's not good to leave without saying goodbye when meeting an old friend!"

The familiar sound echoed continuously within the grotto, and Zhou Yan's figure gradually emerged in the water, stopping three zhang away from the water monkey.

"It's the Great King Jiao!"

The water monkey froze instantly, mechanically turning its head to give Zhou Yan an ugly smile.

"I knew it. Those water scorpion guys are no match for the Great King."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the package down and presented it to Zhou Yan with both hands.

"I haven't yet congratulated Your Majesty on eliminating these rebellious water scorpions. This is my collection from decades ago, which I present to Your Majesty today as a congratulatory gift for Your Majesty becoming the Lord of Changmingze."

He lowered his head and slowly approached Zhou Yan.

Just three feet away from Zhou Yan, his expression suddenly changed, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and two beams of light shot from his eyes towards Zhou Yan. Then he threw the package upwards, picked up the stone stick with both hands, and smashed it down on Zhou Yan's head.

"Die, you snake demon!"

Seeing the water monkey's actions, Zhou Yan did not dodge, but a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.

With a slight opening of its mouth, heavy water automatically surfaced, solidifying into a shield.

The light and stone rods were all blocked, unable to advance an inch.

The water monkey showed no surprise at all. It opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood mist, staining the surrounding water red and obscuring Zhou Yan's vision.

The water monkey reached out, grabbed the package, quickly turned around, and ran away.

Faster, faster...

As the distance between them closed, the water monkey's eyes revealed madness. He was fighting Zhou Yan to the death. He never thought that he could deal with Shui Ying and the others so quickly, and that dealing with him would be a piece of cake.

The only option is to run!

Just as the water monkey was about to reach the rear entrance, a cold voice came and a streak of light struck, instantly freezing his body.

"Is that all you've got?"

As the Dragon Ball swept across, the Water Monkey's entire chest instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, which then permeated the water.
