Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

The unicorn thrust forward, and before the serpent could react, its body was pierced through.

The Azure Rhinoceros swung upwards, and the Bashe was immediately flung away.

"Hiss~"

Rolling over, the Bashe steadied itself, its eyes filled with rage as it looked at the Azure Rhinoceros.

On his body, a hole suddenly appeared, surrounded by a green light. Not a drop of blood flowed out; instead, the hole was covered by the green light, which continued to spread outwards.

……

On the other side, a dozen miles away, Batu was using his escape technique to rush forward when suddenly, a black flag appeared not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of heavy water gushed out, forming a black wall.

"Zhou Yan!"

Batu's expression changed, and he quickly looked around, only to find that the surrounding space had already been covered by heavy water, with a black flag floating in front, behind, to the left, right, above, and below.

Zhou Yan, however, was nowhere to be seen.

Heavy water spears emerged from above and below the banners, numbering in the hundreds and thousands in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Batu's face darkened, and he immediately shouted, "Wait!"

"I know where the Ba Kingdom's Cave Heaven is. Let me go, and I can take you there..."

But the water spears around him paid no heed.

With a series of "whoosh" sounds, all the heavy water spears pierced towards Batu.

Seeing that Zhou Yan ignored him completely, Batu had no choice but to reveal his true form, but at this moment, his snake body was extremely shriveled.

It opened its mouth, wanting to devour the heavy water spears, but after swallowing only about thirty, it reached its limit and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

Meanwhile, the heavy water spears around him fell one after another, piercing through his body one by one in Batu's despairing eyes.

Before long, he became a hedgehog.

Zhou Yan then emerged from the heavy water, carrying the Houtu Burial Soul Sword, and quickly walked up to him.

"Let...let me go...I..."

Looking at Zhou Yan in front of him, Batu's eyes flickered, and he said weakly.

Zhou Yan gave him no response, and directly raised the Houtu Burial Soul Sword, slashing it down at his head.

"Whoosh!"

As a sword flashed, Batu's head, with its eyes wide open, slowly separated from his body and fell into the heavy water.

He then sheathed his longsword, took Batu's storage ring from his body, refined it, and then put his body into it.

He then turned around, summoned the Six Harmonies Water Diagram, retrieved the Heavy Water and the Six Harmonies Water Flag, and rushed towards the Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros.

Zhou Yan paid no attention to Batu's mention of the Ba Kingdom Grotto-heaven. Not to mention that the Ba Kingdom was far away in the Central Plains, he couldn't get there at all right now.

Moreover, I am only a Purple Mansion cultivator. Whether I can even get in is another matter. Even if I do get in, with my Purple Mansion cultivation level, I probably won't get anything good.

On the other side, the Holy Mother of the Spiritual Rhinoceros was originally fighting with the Bashe, when suddenly, the Bashe let out a roar and disappeared into the world.

She was startled, then noticed the commotion not far away. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was Zhou Yan coming over, and her expression relaxed.

"Is the traitor getting close?" she asked, regaining her breath.

"We're almost there." Zhou Yan nodded, then looked at the battleground between Ling Shu and the Demon General.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Yan arrive, the demon general also realized that Batu was probably in grave danger and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to her. She then waved her fan, and was swept away by the gale, trying to escape.

"Hmph, trying to escape!" The Holy Mother of Lingxi, who was already furious with Batu, immediately snorted coldly upon seeing this.

He threw the Azure Water Mirror out of his hand, and a vast expanse of azure water poured out from it.

Before the demon general could react, he was overwhelmed and could only wave his fan, creating gusts of wind to tear apart the blue water monsters attacking him from all sides.

Before she could even offer a resistance, the Holy Mother of the Spiritual Rhinoceros turned and appeared in front of her.

He threw a punch at her.

"Bang!"

Before the demon general could react, he was punched and sent flying, crashing onto the water and splashing up a large wave.

She stepped forward. By this time, the demon general was already weak and his eyes were unfocused. Before he could react, she grabbed him and punched him in the head.

Kill him outright.

Looking at the battle below, Zhou Yan felt a chill run down his spine, and his brows furrowed.

What kind of superhuman strength is this?

The dragon race is considered physically strong among the many demon races, but they don't possess such terrifying strength that a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator could kill a mid-stage Purple Mansion human cultivator with just two punches.

Moreover, he remembered that the Azure Rhinoceros Clan was skilled in Azure Light Water Magic, wasn't it?

Although he was extremely shocked, Zhou Yan did not show it on his face. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips as he slowly landed beside the Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros.

"Senior, these are the traitor's storage ring and corpse." With that, Zhou Yan took out Batu's storage ring and corpse and handed them to him.

Killing Batu was, after all, her main contribution; he wasn't shameless enough to claim the enemy's spoils for himself.

After glancing at the two items, the Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros shook her head, took out a magical artifact, cut Batu's body into three pieces, and took one piece for herself.

"I already have this powerful fan, so this section is enough. As for the rest, you two can divide it equally."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Shu also appeared in human form and landed beside the two of them. Upon hearing the words of the Holy Mother Lingxi, he opened his mouth and swallowed a section of the snake's body.

Zhou Yan then put away the last section of the snake's body. Although Batu's body was severely depleted and not of much use to him, as a member of the Purple Mansion Demon Clan, it was still quite effective whether used as medicine, as a dietary supplement, or as a reward for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He then opened Batu's ring.

There weren't many things inside, only about ten magical artifacts and a snake skull the size of a human head.

"Please take it first, senior."

"Release the items," Zhou Yan said, looking at Ling Shu.

"Alright." Ling Shu nodded, not refusing, since there wasn't anything good in there.

After thinking for a while, he took six of the magical artifacts: two top-grade, three high-grade, and one mid-grade. The remaining items were one top-grade magical artifact, four high-grade magical artifacts, and the skull.

Zhou Yan then put away the remaining items.

"Alright, let's retreat. We can leave the rest to those guys outside."

The Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros spoke loudly, then transformed into a stream of light and retreated outside, with Zhou Yan and Ling Shu following closely behind.

After a day of fighting, they were exhausted and needed to go back to recover.

At night, thick clouds obscured the silver moon. Sitting in a room, Zhou Yan set up a protective barrier and waited quietly.

Soon after, the panel appeared.
