Chapter 31:

Ji Rong and Wen Yu took the opportunity to fiercely attack Li Cangyan.

Hitting Su Yilin was just a side effect, but the sword aura they released was enough to make her flee in panic.

Although both of them were still somewhat stiff, they had the “Little Jellyfish” behind them, gradually healing the wounds they sustained from the previous fight.

No one expected that just now, Yao Yao would suddenly strike and deliver a critical blow.

And now, Yao Yao’s bloodline power were simultaneously healing their injuries, serving as a reliable support on the battlefield.

While swinging his tail wildly, Wen Yu shouted, “Little Pearl, you’re the real god!”

Ji Rong supported Chong Yan and warned, “Be careful of him.”

Wen Yu swept heavily across Li Cangyan’s spine, truly enraged now.

This guy is really despicable.

Blood flowed from Li Cangyan’s chest, and his attacks seemed feeble against them. He had to find elixirs to stop the bleeding and heal his wounds, all while dealing with their combined assault. He quickly became a mess.

His magnificent robe, chosen specifically for this grand appearance, was soaked in blood and torn by Ji Rong’s sword aura and the tail of the Black Snake.

Su Yilin barely blocked in front of him, getting knocked away and crashing back, making them both unfortunate victims.

Unable to bear it any longer, Su Yilin cried out in madness, “The people of Jun Capital and disciples of the Wuji Sect are outside. They will be coming in soon. Do you know the price of trespassing in the forbidden area and angering Jun Capital? The Chang Sword Sect will have no good future!”

She intended to shock Ji Rong a little, hoping he would stop fighting to the death.

But instead, Ji Rong fought even harder after she shouted.

His Yu Ji sword, swung fiercely, and the Sword Spirit sneered, “The Chang Sword Sect doesn’t need your Wuji Sect’s concern, specially a concern from a trash like you.”

Finally, Li Cangyan swallowed a miraculous golden pill and put on a mysterious armor. Clutching his bleeding chest, he staggered to his feet and looked towards the distance at Yao Yao, his eyes filled with pain.

He couldn’t understand why, even though he had already shown his noble destiny, and she knew how despicable that devil had been in the past, why would Yao Yao choose that thing in the current situation when she had known him since they were children, and they had been together for so many years?

Li Cangyan’s heart ached, not just from the physical pain but also from the pain of losing something he only realized he had lost after it was gone.

In that case, the devil must die.

Ever since he was born many years ago, he was a devil destined to die.

His power was so terrifying that even the gods and buddhas of the heavens feared him. Li Cangyan was the one who conformed to the will of heaven.

Raising his hand, Li Cangyan formed a barrier, blocking Ji Rong’s sword aura and Wen Yu’s attacks. He quickly said, “Young Master Ji, Black Snake, you cannot kill me.”

Wen Yu rolled his eyes and muttered to himself, realizing he should address him with respect.

Li Cangyan continued, “As you can see, I am indeed a child of heaven. In my previous life, I was a divine dragon. I can say that I am the core of this mortal world. If you kill me, the balance of the heavens will be disrupted, and the world will collapse. Young Master Ji, even if you don’t consider yourself or Chang Sword Sect, don’t you care about Yao Yao?”

If the world were to be destroyed, everyone would die together.

Ji Rong looked at him expressionlessly, squinting his eyes slightly and nodded, “I see.”

Li Cangyan smiled and said, “That’s why we should be allies, not associating with that devil. He has been a demon since birth. Once he loses control of his power, it will bring about a catastrophe.”

On the other side, Chong Yan stood up from Yao Yao’s embrace and heard this.

Indeed.

Fear was the root of all his suffering.

People feared him, so they harmed him to feel safe.

They feared him, so they naturally exploited his body and gained his power.

Chong Yan wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, enduring his injuries, and looked at Ji Rong and Wen Yu.

They didn’t know him in the first place, so they could switch sides. It didn’t matter.

As long as he had her by his side, that was enough.

Anyone else in this world would choose his elder brother.

Parents. Clan. All living beings.

Since Chong Yan was born, it had always been like this.

The Yao Yao knew what he was thinking, but she shook her head. Her brother wouldn’t do that.

The little demon would understand.

“I didn’t expect the Sword Saint to be so noble,” Chong Yan heard Ji Rong speak.

He closed his eyes, and the palm of his hand reformed into ice flames.

Li Cangyan smiled and glanced at Chong Yan from behind the barrier. Humbly, he said, “I was also unaware. I have been diligently cultivating all this time without knowing anything.”

But as he was distracted looking at Chong Yan, Ji Rong suddenly leaped forward, swiftly crossing the water’s surface, and rushed directly towards the transformed golden dragon.

With a single slash, Ji Rong’s ancient black iron sword, Yu Ji Sword, struck down, causing the enormous golden dragon to shatter into countless fragments of golden light.

All of this is the merit of these countless souls.

Li Cangyan’s pupils contracted. What’s going on with these siblings? Why are they so stubborn and unyielding?

The Sword Spirit urgently said, “Quick, strike the dragon’s throat, that’s its vital spot.”

She had already realized that the ancient demon’s ice flame could only envelop the golden dragon, making it impossible for Li Cangyan to absorb it. But for some reason, he couldn’t directly attack it.

In that case, they could only take a risk. If they could disperse this golden dragon, it would mean destroying Li Cangyan’s reconstructed golden body.

Ji Rong and she understood each other’s intentions, and the next strike was aimed at the dragon’s throat.

Just as the sword was about to touch the reversed scale, the golden dragon suddenly let out a long roar.

Its vague golden body began to materialize, and in an instant, it transformed into a moving and soaring dragon.

The dragon’s gaze swept towards Ji Rong, and one dragon claw heavily patted towards him. Ji Rong immediately retreated.

The power of this golden dragon couldn’t compare to that of the ancient demons. If it were that guy’s true form, one swipe of its claw could even injure the wind.

Li Cangyan tightly stared at the mysterious flames that informed him that the golden body was not fully formed yet. The entire lifespan seemed to be advancing prematurely for some reason.

But even if it couldn’t fully form, as long as he could absorb it, it would already be an incredibly powerful divine power.

Li Cangyan formed hand seals with both hands and began to activate another spell.

The soaring golden dragon seemed to be summoned, and its two long whiskers swayed in the wind. After rotating its enormous dragon head in mid-air, it flew towards Li Cangyan in a spiral.

Chong Yan quietly watched him and raised his hand.

Even if his entire body was burned by the spell, he could endure it. After all, his injuries didn’t matter much.

However, just as his ice flames surged, the contemptuous voice of Wen Yu sounded.

“Don’t worry, White Fur, I won’t join him, just like Pearl’s father.”

The golden dragon stirred up clouds and mist on the endless water surface, but in this deep and hopeless imperial tomb, no one would consider it a magnificent and holy being.

Wen Yu transformed into his magnificent form of the Deep Sea Giant Snake, a huge tail beast.

He turned his head, and his two huge eyes looked at Chong Yan.

“Now I will beat it more beautifully than you.”

“Or even more beautifully than you.”

After speaking, the black snake swiftly coiled over. There’s water here.

Where there is water, it’s his home turf.

Ji Rong also nodded at Chong Yan, saying, “Keep an eye on her.”

It was a kind of trust that he could protect her.

Then, Young Master Ji immediately went to intercept Li Cangyan, engaging in a coordinated battle with Wen Yu both above and below the water.

Chong Yan held her palm up, feeling somewhat dazed.

They actually chose him too.

Yao Yao’s power flowed into their bodies. In that warm golden glow, she turned her face to tell Chong Yan, “You have companions.”

Not only me.

But also friends.

There will be a future where you will no longer be misunderstood and feared by the world.

Chong Yan’s eyelashes trembled lightly.
