Chapter 1379: Defeated Eat Dust
"I surrender, I surrender!"
The tide surged forward, wave upon wave chasing each other across the vast sea, one after another, layer upon layer, echoing between heaven and earth.
But the demon kings could not see the waves, nor hear the wind.
Only the sharp voice of the Azure Cap King surrendering rang clear and piercing.
The black cloud vortex spun high above, low pressure shrouding the central courtyard of Jianghuai, no wind or ripple on the Fu waters or the marsh surface, an eerie gleam like a vast silver mirror, as if a whole mountain separated them from the tide.
The Azure Dragon King and Ice Bear King fled the plaza, retreating into the Long Gong hall. "Cannot move" turned a circle, sinking down as fire trees and silver flowers.
The sharp cry of the Azure Cap King echoed above his head.
The Pot King stared blankly at the sky, at the black cloud hole.
Lightning flashed, briefly illuminating.
Claws gripped the edge of the cloud hole, two long whiskers drifting out first, lead-gray clouds within crackling with plasma, like water flowing down a guide rod, clinging to the swaying whiskers, flowing and dripping, scalding the great marsh, burning a hard scar into the silt riverbed.
Boiling water surged, plasma crackling and fading, as if myriad birds cried out.
Claws exerted force, a dragon head probing from the cloud hole.
Then it was revealed that this was the source of the tide's sound.
The surging water currents pressed and collided, throwing up white foam that gathered into dense dragon scales across its body. Blazing golden eyes became the sole two suns between heaven and earth, as if the bing fire sun stretched from July to September.
Black clouds coiled, the dragon raised its head.
Birds scattered in fright, myriad villagers cried out "Water Lord," prostrating and kneeling!
Bai Yuan sat cross-legged in the high air, eyes tightly shut.
Essence Water was drawn out, Vortex Water lost more than half, the flood state of Hong Guo diminished, condensed upon the Heavenly Dragon, the Huaiwang Scripture's Jianghe True Form two qi intertwined, the slaying flood dragon aura attached, heart fire burning fiercely.
Then, 【Summon Spirit】!
Liang Qu merely discovered that now the water dragon piercing clouds could 【Summon Spirit】, so he did 【Summon Spirit】.
Vision changed.
A green spiral adorned the center of the umbrella canopy, strikingly conspicuous, like a natural target.
Crackle, crackle.
Plasma dripped like dragon saliva, scalding one boiling spring after another.
Azure Cap King panicked in dismay.
The golden eyes before him vanished, appearing above his head, overwhelming dread pressing down, myriad tentacles trembling violently, the huge umbrella canopy quivering like waves.
Damn it, damn it, what the hell is this.
How could there be such a move?
Cannot resist, cannot withstand!
Something will happen, something will happen!
"I surrender, I surrender! Ape King! I surrender! Don't fight anymore!"
Azure Cap King cried out again and again, the dragon still slowly descending, Bai Yuan still eyes closed.
Bai Yuan slit his own wrist, blood gushing out, yet it did not stain Jianghe, vanishing completely into the void, replaced by an azure giant dragon, from head to tail, gradually steeped into a blood dragon!
【Blood River: Dissolving blood into rivers, lakes, seas, vast and boundless, wherever it passes, dissolving spirit artifacts, destroying gang qi, eroding divine souls, all waters it touches become dead lands.】
Jianghuai cherishes true spirits, undying and indestructible.
Blood drained and restored, Bai Yuan's body seemed to become a converter, Huaijiang water entering turns to blood, blood flowing again into the Heavenly Dragon, endless and boundless.
The blood dragon's might surged another notch!
Dragon whiskers, dragon nose, dragon head, dragon horns——
The blood dragon slowly emerged from the cloud hole, like a dull knife slicing meat, its shell growing ever deeper red.
Seventeen-layered River Lords favored it, terrifying might nearly solidified, the blood dragon merely probing its head, countless needles piercing the Azure Cap King's shell.
"Ah!!!"
Azure Cap King rejoiced he had no scales or hair, otherwise his scales would all explode and rupture, his hair all fall out clean.
Myriad tentacles transformed into poison dragons roaring upward, unable to even touch the blood dragon before making it "shrink water" already turned to charcoal and fell.
It dared not approach the blood dragon, fleeing desperately, yet no matter how it fled, the blade above its head did not deviate half a point, edge fully exposed, Azure Cap King turned and shouted curses.
"Ape King, you hypocrite! I already surrendered, you don't keep your word! You go back on your promise, you speak without faith! It was you who set up the stage, inviting all demon kings to a feast, inviting all demon kings to challenge, saying defeat counts as sparring! Now you want to take my life, seize my position fruit?"
Whale King! Azure Dragon King! Ice Bear King! Sea Mane King!
This is the Jianghuai feast, deliberately deceiving us, only to seek the position fruit, seek our treasures, these faithless ones, when they become Water Lord, what good is it for us? Will our days be better? Fearful that once they obtain the position fruit they'll be robbed, once they obtain the treasure medicine they'll be taxed! Better we stand shoulder to shoulder today, to eliminate future troubles!"
Whale King, Azure Dragon King, Ice Bear King, Sea Mane King looked at the closed-eyed Bai Yuan, all suspicious in unison.
They did not understand why Bai Yuan did not withdraw at this moment, if truly as the Azure Cap King said——
The demon kings' hearts trembled.
Whale King drew a breath, stepped forward to remind.
"Ape King, Azure Cap King has already surrendered, according to prior agreement, it should be———"
Words cut off mid-sentence.
Long Eying and Hai Fangzhu suddenly awoke, but before one person and one fish could rush out shouting, a white flash shot ahead first.
Jade Qilin!
Jade Qilin stepped out of the Long Gong hall, head raised, loud cry: "Azure Cap King, you have surrendered, but Pot King has not yet surrendered!"
The demon kings started in surprise.
Long Eying and Hai Fangzhu had not imagined that in the world there was still a demon king who could follow Liang Qu's leap of thought, immediately echoed.
"Azure Cap King, Pot King, you come as one, who knows if it's feigned surrender? Then using Pot King's non-surrender as excuse to sneak attack?"
"Azure Cap King, quickly cut flesh, discard Pot King, surrender alone, do not say we did not warn you!"
One sentence awakens the fish in the dream.
Upon hearing this, the Blue-Capped King trembled all over.
Damn it, how did I forget this thing on top of my head?
Cut the meat? How to cut it?
The Pot King has already stuck to it using the Art of Creation, so they can share divine powers; even if the surface-adhering flesh is sliced off, this guy will still pierce through space and cling to new flesh—there's no shaking him off!
The Blue-Capped King turned his spear: "Pot King! You damn fool, don't daze! Pot King! Say something already! Hurry up and admit defeat!"
First the Dao-heart collapses, then the Blood Dragon's intimidation takes hold.
The Pot King stood there like a monkey-struck fool—dazed, stupid, and speechless.
The Poison Dragon's tentacles struck the Pot King; the moss on his shell slowly receded, yet his inner self remained unharmed. The Blue-Capped King grew increasingly frantic, his heart hardening.
Crack.
The scepter's control caused the shell to "shrink"; the Pot King felt a sharp pain, jolting awake from his dazed state, only to be assaulted by thousands of piercing needles, making him scream in terror.
"I surrender!!!"
"Ape King! Hear me—we've surrendered!" the Blue-Capped King shouted joyfully.
Boom—
The Thunder Dragon rolled and exploded, plasma streaming toward the distance.
The golden eyes in the horizon gradually dimmed, turning to face forward; the White Ape flung open his eyes.
Under the Blue-Capped King's anxiety—
The Blood Dragon retreated back into the clouds.
Sunshine poured down once more.
【Spanning the Great River, shining bright as the sun.】
【River Dominion +1】
Intimidate the disloyal, virtue spreads to the Huaijiang.
【River Dominion +1】
【Great Prosperity's merit, fame resounds.】
【River Dominion +1】
【River Dominion: 17.1 (River Spring Review: 92.0499)】!
The Blue-Capped King and Pot King exhaled sharply, not waiting for the two beasts to catch their breath in wild joy.
"Blue-Capped King, Pot King, I, the King, am now filled with rage."
