Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The sudden attack startled and enraged the dragon.
...
With a furious roar, it was about to attack the humans nearby.
It couldnât believe that a mere Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator dared to be so audacious! His cultivation wasnât enough to even destroy its scales.
In an instant, its power surged. The dragon roared. It began its counterattack.
However, it felt the force of a mountain suppressing its spirit.
Jiang Hao had used his Divine Might ability.
The dragon snorted coldly. How dare such a weak human show off his might to a dragon?
The dragonâs soul trembled and broke free from everything. Moonlight flashed, and a blade slashed down.
Boom!
The saber collided with the dragonâs scales.
Crack!
To the dragonâs astonishment, its scales shattered, and the blade pierced its body. But the blade didnât stop there. With a formidable downward slash, it aimed to cleave the dragon in two.
A purple aura surged and destroyed everything. The dragon tasted death. It didnât hesitate. It separated its dragon soul from its body.
Jiang Hao raised his blade again, and the Mountain Suppression technique appeared on his wrist, ready to use.
He intended to kill the dragon. However, before the blade could descend, something escaped from the dragonâs body.
It was the dragonâs soul!
Jiang Hao changed his direction and slashed at the dragonâs soul instead.
Clang!
A light curtain protected the dragonâs soul. Something tried to strike Jiang Hao from behind. It was the dragon trying to restrain his Mountain Suppression technique.
Jiang Hao ignored the attack from behind, gripped his blade tightly, and struck down.
Boom!
The light curtain shattered, and the Mountain Suppression fell on the dragonâs soul. It was severely injured.
The attack from behind reached Jiang Hao, but his Nine Heavenly Battle Armor protected him.
With a bang, a powerful force penetrated the armor and struck his back. Fortunately, the impact wasnât that great.
Jiang Hao reached out a hand toward the escaping dragonâs soul and activated his Universe in a Palm technique.
A purple aura surged and trapped the escaping dragonâs soul.
Jiang Hao floated midair, and the purple sphere floated on his palm. Inside was the remnant of the dragonâs soul.
Meanwhile, its body fell heavily on the waterâs surface.
Jiang Hao used the same technique to seal the dragonâs body too.
âHuman, what kind of magical technique is that?â The remnant of the dragonâs soul was a little afraid.
Jiang Hao put away his blade. He held the remnant of the dragonâs soul in his left hand and the sealed dragonâs body in his right.
He then activated Daily Appraisal on the remnant of the dragonâs soul.
[Remnant of the Dragonâs Soul: The soul of a dragon that just escaped from its body. It was chased by a powerful enemy, cursed, and its strength reduced to one-tenth. Now, youâve attacked it. Itâs a dying candle in the wind. It sensed the presence of another dragon here and was hiding in the Huangsha River to strike at the right time. Its location will be known to others at any time.]
âHmm?â The appraisal results surprised Jiang Hao. He had a feeling that he had heard about this dragon before.
He remembered that Gui had been complaining about a dragon. She kept saying the dragon had repeatedly escaped her.
Its strength was reduced to one-tenth. If it was at its full strength, it would have far surpassed Jiang Hao. It was no wonder it kept running away from Gui.
The people in the stone tablet were not ordinary.
âIt seems Xiao Liâs presence attracted the dragonâŠâ
He looked at the remnant of the dragonâs soul. âWho is chasing after you?â
âWhat are you talking about?â The remnant of the dragonâs soul pretended to be confused.
âCursed and hunted by an enemy⊠Youâve had to use your talent to hide many times, right? Do you now understand what Iâm talking about?â
The dragonâs soul looked shocked. It couldnât understand how Jiang Hao knew all this.
âI⊠I donât know who she is. I just accidentally provoked her. She started chasing me. At that time, she was in a secret realm. She must have thought I saw something important, so she pursued me,â the dragonâs soul said angrily.
âIf it werenât for her, I would have transformed into a True Dragon.â
âIs that so?â Jiang Hao sighed as he looked at the dragonâs soul. âIs there anything else you want to say?â
âI can take you to that place and pledge my allegiance to you. I have the potential to transform into a True Dragon. I can do many things for you,â the dragonâs soul said hurriedly.
âVery well,â Jiang Hao said.
As the dragonâs soul rejoiced, the Half-Moon Blade appeared in Jiang Haoâs hand. He swung it towards the dragonâs soul.
Jiang Hao squeezed the energy sphere, turning everything to dust. âIâm sorry. You are far too powerful. I donât think I will be able to control you, so I had to destroy you.â
With the dragonâs soul gone, only the dragonâs body remained.
According to Gui, the dragon had swallowed something valuable. There must be a precious treasure inside the dragonâs body!
This was also the reason why Jiang Hao decided to kill the dragon. What it said didnât match what Gui had told him.
He decided to believe Gui, not because he trusted her, but because she didnât pose him any danger for now.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao strengthened the seal and threw the dragonâs body into the river. It sank straight into the riverbed.
âThat should do it.â
He didnât dare touch anything inside because he didnât know if it would attract unwanted attention. It was better to just give up.
Jiang Hao returned to the shore. Xiao Li was still clutching the big fish in her hands.
When she saw Jiang Hao approach, she exclaimed, âSenior Brother Jiang!â
Xiao Li was surprised to see that Jiang Hao didnât care about the dragon at all. âLetâs go,â she said.
âAlright.â Jiang Hao nodded.
âI just caught a fish. You can eat it later.â Xiao Li smiled. âMy mother and father have been asking about you a lot lately. They seemed hopeful that you would come for a visit. Senior Brother Cheng said you were on your way. I didnât believe him⊠but it seems it was true!â
Jiang Hao nodded.
âWhat about the beast? Why didnât the beast come with you?â Xiao Li looked around.
âItâs guarding the house,â Jiang Hao said.
âOhâŠâ She happily led the way ahead with spring in her steps.
On the way, Jiang Hao took out the stone tablet and observed it. He realized that Gui was still looking for him. It seemed that the location of the dragon was about to be discovered.
Jiang Hao smiled faintly and put away the stone tablet. He didnât plan to inform her of the situation just yet. He wasnât in a hurry. He would casually mention it during their next meeting.
That way, he could still maintain his mysterious facade and wouldnât have to reveal anything. In this way, he could firmly establish his position at the gathering.
The undercover mission could then proceed smoothly.
âMother, Father, Iâm back! Look who I brought with me!â As soon as they entered the courtyard, Xiao Li shouted toward the house in excitement.
She was extremely happy. Jiang Hao sighed as he watched her jump for joy.
Xiao Li seemed unaware that something was wrong. She was completely clueless that her frequent visits might soon come to an end. Her parents didnât have much time left..
