Free Web NovelChapter 56: Chapter 56: Black Flood Dragon! Fiend Breaks Out! Single-Handed Suppression
"Damn it! What’s going on!?"
"Are some prisoners trying to use this as a chance to escape?"
Seeing the entire prison tremble, the expressions of some Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau changed instantly!
RUMBLE!!
As time passed, the prison felt as if it were in the grip of an earthquake. The various torture implements and chains inside the cells either crashed to the floor or slammed against the hard walls, creating a cacophony of ear-piercing noise!
’Something big is about to happen!’
Su Bai’s expression turned grim. He and a solemn-faced Zhang Wei immediately walked out of the cell where the Demon Beast was held.
Only then did they discover that the outside had descended into chaos!
Many Prison Guards, Prison Chiefs, and Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau had received the news and were rushing back to the prison.
In the gloomy corridors, Martial Artists from the Prison Suppression Bureau darted back and forth, preventing the convicts from breaking free amidst the turmoil.
Su Bai stopped a panicked-looking Prison Guard and quickly asked, "What’s going on?"
The Prison Guard wiped the sweat pouring from his forehead and gasped for breath. "In A-Class Prison, inside Demon Suppression Zone Two... that imprisoned Black Flood Dragon... for some reason, it suddenly broke free from the Sealing Array’s restraints! It’s on a rampage!"
The Black Flood Dragon!
Su Bai had never seen it, but he’d heard a Prison Chief mention this Black Flood Dragon before while patrolling A-Class Prison.
It was a terrifyingly powerful Demon Beast.
It called itself the Black Flood Dragon King.
And was also an Elder of the Black Lotus Sect.
Many years ago, it fought a bloody three-day battle against Chen Tianfeng before he finally managed to severely wound and subdue it, imprisoning it in Demon Suppression Zone Two.
Finally, a special Sealing Array was used to completely seal both its body and Divine Spirit.
’Who would have thought this Black Flood Dragon could actually break through the array’s restraints?’
Su Bai’s eyes narrowed.
’He had a feeling someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.’
"This is a real mess, then!" Zhang Wei said from the side, his expression grave.
Although he had only recently joined the Prison Suppression Bureau, he had already gotten to know some of its Martial Artists.
He was naturally aware of what was inside Demon Suppression Zone Two.
The convicts held there were incomparably powerful!
If these convicts escaped the prison because of the Black Flood Dragon’s rampage...
...the consequences would be dire!
It could easily turn into a bloodbath!
"Brother Su Bai, we need to find a place to..."
Zhang Wei snapped back to his senses. He turned to the side, his face etched with anxiety, and was about to say something...
...when his expression suddenly froze.
He realized that Su Bai, who had been standing right beside him a moment ago, was nowhere to be found.
’Brother Su Bai, that’s not cool!’
’Running off without me!’
Zhang Wei cursed inwardly.
He quickly looked for a safer, more crowded place to hide.
With something this major happening, he was self-aware enough to know that with his meager Qi Sea Realm cultivation, not adding to the chaos was the best help he could offer.
Rather than trying to help, it was better to find a place to hide for a while and wait for things to blow over.
With this in mind, he immediately followed a group of low-level Prison Guards and a few rookies from the Prison Suppression Bureau, running off in a certain direction.
Meanwhile, unnoticed by anyone, inside one of the constantly trembling cells...
...the eyes of the red-eyed Cow Demon—bound by chains and originally incomparably violent—briefly flashed with a spark of human-like intelligence.
...
In the corridor, Su Bai moved quickly and soon found a deserted corner.
’Demon Suppression Zone Two, the Black Flood Dragon...’
After a moment of recollection, he immediately activated his vast Divine Thoughts, sending them probing into the depths of the prison.
B-Class Prison... A-Class Prison... Demon Suppression Zone One...
In an instant, Su Bai’s Divine Thoughts penetrated deep into Demon Suppression Zone Two.
Through his Divine Thoughts, Su Bai discovered that Demon Suppression Zone Two was currently surging with countless waves of Demonic Qi, and a thick Demon Qi filled the air.
Outside a purple cage that was nearly half-destroyed, several Martial Artists in ornate robes were holding variously colored Array Plates. A random assortment of materials was laid out before them.
Su Bai didn’t recognize the materials but guessed they were all priceless, rare items needed to cast the array.
"Quick! Grind the materials into powder!"
An Elder in a white robe stood at the forefront. While shouting orders to the surrounding Martial Artists, he channeled energy into an Array Plate with both hands, striving to repair the damaged Sealing Array.
As time went on, his body became drenched in sweat. He gritted his teeth, his face trembling slightly—it was clear he was under immense strain.
Following his orders, several young Martial Artists immediately used special tools to quickly grind the materials on the ground into a fine powder.
Meanwhile, another Elder in a purple robe was mixing these variously colored powders with a special black liquid and applying the mixture to the tip of a Silver-White Jade Brush.
Then, with a solemn expression, he began painting over the array inside the prison, inscribing ancient Patterns.
With the Elder’s inscriptions, the Sealing Array was noticeably strengthened.
Su Bai’s Divine Thoughts pressed deeper into the array.
Only then did he see it: a Black Flood Dragon, nearly nine zhang long and shrouded in a dense cloud of Demon Qi, was roaring furiously and ramming violently against the Sealing Array.
Where the Black Flood Dragon struck, ancient Patterns shaped like black tadpoles materialized on the array’s surface.
’After watching for a moment, Su Bai realized it would be impossible for the Black Flood Dragon to break through the array’s restraints anytime soon.’
’As the Sealing Array was continuously reinforced, the Black Flood Dragon was destined to be sealed once more.’
’The main concern for the Martial Artists of the Prison Suppression Bureau now was whether other convicts would use this opportunity to escape and wreak havoc.’
A moment later, Su Bai saw Chen Tianfeng appear in a flash.
His expression was stern and humorless. While taking action to suppress the rampaging Black Flood Dragon, he also gave orderly commands to his subordinates.
He seemed to have everything under control.
His aura was noticeably stronger than the last time Su Bai had seen him.
’Looks like this Black Flood Dragon won’t be able to stir up any more trouble.’
Su Bai withdrew his Divine Sense. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The next moment, he was surprised to find that for the fiend from the Soul-devouring Demon Sect, Wang Lingxiao, the status displayed by his Purification Tripod had suddenly changed from [Imprisoned] to [Escaping]!
What’s more, he wasn’t the only one; there was a considerable number of convicts with the same status.
’This is turning into a full-blown riot!’
’If these convicts successfully escape the prison, my Experience Points gains will plummet!’
’These walking sacks of XP are all trying to get away!’
"Time to get to work..."
Su Bai’s expression turned cold. In a flash, he was gone, heading for B-Class Prison Zone One, where Wang Lingxiao was held.
At that moment, inside B-Class Prison Zone One, the fiend from the Soul-devouring Demon Sect had already shattered his chains.
With a savage grin, he reached out. To the utter shock of the bald man before him, he wrapped his hand around the man’s neck and squeezed.
SPLAT!!
As a spray of blood erupted!
The head of the top disciple from the Zhengyang Sect was completely crushed, his arms falling limply to his sides.
Utterly dead.
Casually tossing the corpse aside, Wang Lingxiao’s entire body surged with True Qi.
BOOM!!
He raised his right fist, which was wreathed in a blood-red glow, and blew apart the prison wall!
But just as he darted out of the cell, Wang Lingxiao’s expression turned grim.
In the blood-stained corridor...
...a Martial Artist, glowing with a brilliant golden light, had suddenly appeared before him.
And then!
The man raised a Golden Fist and sent it hurtling toward him!
Terrifying! Overwhelming!
Impossible to dodge!
"Damn it! Even if you’re an Innate Grandmaster, I, Wang Lingxiao, won’t necessarily—"
Wang Lingxiao roared and jerked his right fist up to counter!
But before he could finish his sentence, the blazing, magnificent Golden Fist...
...utterly obliterated him!!
