Free Web NovelChapter 261: Chapter 205: Snake, Mang, Jiao, Chi, a Small Test of Skills
Its interior was a brilliant, clear aquamarine, condensed into a sphere that looked like dozens of drops of heavy water gathered together. With a smooth spin, it shot straight toward the golden flames illuminating half the sky.
It was a Demon of draconic lineage, naturally gifted at commanding water. Cultivating its Kui Water Cultivation Technique was exceptionally efficient, and now, with the geographical advantage of the Cloud-Parting River, why would it fear fire Spells?
That clear Profound Light seemed ordinary, but it secretly contained "Heavenly Yin True Water," which was supreme at extinguishing fire energy and destroying flames!
But before the River Dragon King’s laughter could fade, it stopped abruptly, its face filled with astonishment:
"Bing Fire? How can it be Bing Fire! No, there’s Ding Fire as well..."
’How could a Qi Cultivation Cultivator possibly refine both Bing and Ding Fire?!’
It could hardly believe its eyes, watching helplessly as the clear Profound Light collided with the golden flames.
It looked like a clash between water and fire, but the golden flames were not damaged in the slightest. Instead, they began to burn away the Heavenly Yin True Water—which it had spent sixty painstaking years to refine—bit by bit until it dissipated!
’A mere Demon. How could it understand the art of purifying Magical Power and nurturing one’s Profound Light.’
Jiang Yi smiled faintly, finally understanding the confidence that came with being a "prodigy from an Ancestral Sect."
At the same Realm, their methods, Daoist Skills, offensive and defensive Magical Artifacts, and even their knowledge and experience were all far superior. How could they possibly pay any mind to other "Lower Cultivators"?
’With my Cultivation, it’s hard to find an opponent at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer. Even a Cultivator at the eleventh or twelfth layer might not be my match in terms of Merit alone!’
Jiang Yi was completely confident, not taking this Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer Mang Demon seriously at all. His gaze shot out like cold lightning toward the imposing figure standing on the waterspout.
His fingers formed a seal, and he channeled his Magical Power once more.
WHOOSH! Two clouds of blazing fire erupted from the crown of his head, transforming into two savage Fire Jiao, all fangs and claws, that lunged at the River Dragon King!
’This is bad! He’s a tough one!’
The River Dragon King instantly realized something was wrong. It had its own way of classifying how troublesome these otherworldly Demons were, and a Cultivator with such immense Magical Power and a condensed Profound Light was clearly not one to be provoked.
Especially since his opponent had refined both Bing and Ding Fire, a perfect counter to the Water Element!
Unless it, too, could merge Ren Water and Kui Water into one, fighting him would be nearly impossible.
It immediately brandished the Southern Winnowing Water Flag. As the old saying goes, "In the south is the Winnowing Fan, yet it cannot be used to sift." This flag could gather the wind and channel the power of water, the two combining in a truly formidable and unceasing cycle. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
In the River Dragon King’s hands, its power was amplified even further!
Sure enough, as soon as the magical flag moved, the wind began to howl with a mournful WAIL.
It stirred up massive, rolling waves, one crashing upon another, instantly making the entire Cloud-Parting River surge so violently it nearly overturned.
The two Fire Jiao darted left and right, but they were beaten back by one monstrous white-capped wave after another.
The golden flames were also being steadily worn down as pillar after pillar of water, each as thick as a mountain peak and carried by the wind, smashed against them, shaking the Profound Light.
’I wonder which Disciple from Water Peak fell to this Mang Demon.’ ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Jiang Yi remained composed, treating this as a mere "warm-up" to improve his experience in Magical Combat.
He knew that if he pressed too hard, this cunning Mang Demon would surely flee to the riverbed. He hadn’t learned any spells to part the waters, and besides, if he dove in rashly, he could never match the agility of a Mang Demon infused with the Essence blood of a young dragon.
Therefore, Jiang Yi didn’t channel more Magical Power. Instead, he deliberately pretended to be struggling, as if his strength was failing.
’Huh? This tough one doesn’t have much experience. He played his trump card right at the start!’
The River Dragon King’s anxious heart settled back down:
’I knew it. Controlling both Bing and Ding Fire at the Qi Cultivation Realm is nowhere near that easy!’
It gritted its teeth and poured all of its Magical Power into the flag. For miles around, a violent squall erupted. Monstrous waves surged, crashing with the force of a landslide.
Before long, the fierce winds extinguished the two Fire Jiao, which burst into ash with a pair of POOFS and vanished without a trace.
The sea of golden flames also began to flicker precariously, growing dimmer and dimmer.
"Die..."
A savage light appeared in the River Dragon King’s eyes, and it began to drool, as if it couldn’t wait to taste this Human Cultivation Treasure Body.
Once the golden flames dissipated, the figure in the aquamarine Daoist Robe on the riverbank seemed to stagger a few times, nearly collapsing.
The River Dragon King let out a long roar to the heavens and revealed its true form—a massive Mang. It shot into the air, as fast as a bolt of lightning!
It opened its cavernous, bloody maw and lunged toward Jiang Yi, carrying a boundless, rolling demonic aura as it tried to swallow him whole!
Amidst the howling wind and driving rain, it suddenly heard a soft chuckle:
"You finally took the bait."
Then, an incredibly dazzling crimson light shot up into the sky, so bright it dazed the River Dragon King’s vertical pupils, blinding it.
"This is..."
This crimson light was like a rainbow streaking across the sky, as swift as a meteor. In an instant, it pierced clean through the massive, hundred-foot-long body of the Mang, a body impervious to blades or spears.
The River Dragon King crashed heavily to the ground, slamming onto the riverbank!
