Chapter 115: Flood Dragon Causes Chaos, Lin Fan's Killing Intent Rises

"Good, good, good—"

Feeling regretful inside, Ao Guang still called out good repeatedly: "True Person Lin Fan's words are very true!"

"Our Dragon Clan lacks pills, especially high-quality pills!"

"If True Person Lin Fan can provide them stably in the future, then this King will not be stingy with what the True Person needs!"

Thus, the two sides reached a consensus.

After smiling at each other, Lin Fan did not intend to linger and bowed slightly: "In that case, many thanks, Dragon King."

"The trade this time is completed, so I will take my leave first."

"Good, this King will see the True Person off!"

Laughing, Ao Guang immediately walked forward and led Lin Fan toward the outside of the palace.

Now that the exchange of benefits between the two sides was successful, and it was a stable supply and demand relationship, he needed to maintain it well.

As for other matters.

He would talk about them after trading with Lin Fan a few more times and becoming completely familiar.

And Lin Fan had the same thought.

Although he was eager to know from Ao Guang the quantity, whereabouts, and information of the Sea-Calming Pearls held by the Dragon Clan.

But after all, it was their first meeting, and the two sides did not have true trust, so he really could not speak casually.

Just like that, accompanied by the East Sea Dragon King, Lin Fan soon left the Dragon Palace.

Not returning to Golden Turtle Island through the ocean current tunnel, Lin Fan flew directly toward the sea surface.

Not long after, Lin Fan left the seabed and arrived at the sea surface.

As far as the eye could see, it was a vast ocean, and no islands could be seen.

However, relying on his own perception, Lin Fan still quickly locked onto the direction and immediately rode a cloud to fly toward Golden Turtle Island.

The trade this time was completed.

He had obtained ten tons of good artifact refining materials.

After returning, he could refine sword spirit treasures and thus begin to cultivate the Shangqing Sword Body; he did not intend to waste time outside.

"Ang—"

However, not long after Lin Fan had been flying, suddenly a dragon roar resounded from ahead.

Immediately after, one could see a pitch-black Flood Dragon rush into a sea area; its massive body of nearly three thousand meters was wreaking havoc within it, and many creatures died, fell, and became blood food as a result.

The most important thing was that this black Flood Dragon was actually emitting a dense aura of slaughter, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling, as if surrounded by boundless evil thoughts.

"A Flood Dragon!"

"And a Flood Dragon at the Perfection of the True Immortal Realm!"

After examining it for a few glances, Lin Fan had roughly figured out the other party's strength.

Immediately after, his gaze also became gradually cold.

Not for anything else, but because this Flood Dragon's slaughter had not ended; except for a small number of creatures that were eaten, more were cruelly slaughtered by it.

This was not the key point; the most important thing was that after this guy killed those creatures, it actually started to swallow their spirits.

According to this trend, Lin Fan could basically conclude that this Flood Dragon's slaughter was not just a whim, but very likely to cultivate some demonic art!

One must know, the Dao and the Demon are incompatible.

Within the Great Desolation, the Profound Sect was the orthodoxy, while the Demon Dao was something everyone should kill.

Of course, Lin Fan was not a great young man who was eager to help, but in such an environment, Demon Dao cultivators were walking merit points.

As a Profound Sect disciple, if one could kill a Demon Dao cultivator, one could obtain some merit rewards.

Even if the merit was not much, Lin Fan, as a transmigrator, was very clear about the value of this thing.

Merit!

It could help a cultivator rapidly improve their cultivation without any side effects.

It looked similar to fortune, but in reality, the improvement of cultivation realm by merit was somewhat hollow; for example, the current Six Sages were basically not Sages who had slashed the Three Corpses, but Merit Sages.

And the gap between a complete Three-Corpse-Slashing Sage and a Merit Sage was also huge, so compared to absorbing merit to improve cultivation, it was smoother, safer, and more stable to rely on fortune.

Precisely because of this, after proving the Dao and becoming a Saint, the six Sages—Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Nuwa Niangniang, Jieyin, and Zhunti—all focused on collecting fortune, rather than caring much about obtaining merit.

But besides this aspect, merit also had its own huge value.

If it was infused into a Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure, it could be transformed into an Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure, which not only increased the power of the spirit treasure but also allowed one to kill without incurring karma.

Besides this, when merit was accumulated to a certain degree, it could also break through tribulations; for curses like the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, it could also perfectly restrain and eliminate them.

The most important thing was that when merit reached a vast level, a Merit Golden Wheel could be condensed.

Once one had it for protection, whoever dared to attack them would encounter a huge backlash, or even encounter punishment from the Heavenly Dao.

For example, the Daoist Hongyun of those years.

He had the protection of the Merit Golden Wheel; if it weren't for the fact that the people who attacked and killed him were leaders of major factions like Kunpeng, Di Jun, and Donghuang Taiyi who had vast fortune to support and protect them, it would basically be impossible for Hongyun to die, and impossible for him to be forced to self-destruct.

But even so, Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Kunpeng, and others encountered huge backlashes afterward, and whether Hongyun truly perished completely is, to be honest, hard to judge.

This also explained the value and function of merit.

If this Flood Dragon's chaos could be quelled, he could obtain some merit blessing.

A Merit Golden Wheel was impossible.

But the Copy Mirror he had obtained before needed it.

After all, the previous grade of the Copy Mirror was not too good, and its value to Lin Fan at the current stage was not high.

But if it could absorb enough merit to evolve into a Merit Spirit Treasure, or even an Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure, then its value would not be inferior to the vast majority of Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan did not hesitate anymore; with a thought, he summoned the God-Slaying Sword and flew forward.

"Evil beast, stop!"

With a low shout, Lin Fan swung his sword.

In an instant, a sword Qi hundreds of zhang huge descended from the sky, directly falling into the seawater and striking the Flood Dragon's body.

Puchi—

Blood sprayed, and flesh flew.

The Flood Dragon under the sea wailed, and its massive body instantly rushed out of the sea.

After arriving in mid-air, the pitch-black demonic Qi mixed with demonic energy rolled around the Flood Dragon's body, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared fixedly at where Lin Fan was, gritting its teeth: "Cultivator, you are seeking death!"

"Daring to attack me, today is your death day!"

While speaking, the Flood Dragon opened its mouth for a surprise attack, and scorching flames sprayed out directly toward Lin Fan.

"Well come!"

Laughing, Lin Fan did not care at all and swung his sword.

In the next second, the sword Qi raged, directly splitting the dragon breath flames into two.

After finishing all this, Lin Fan suddenly accelerated and pressed forward.

After arriving at the front area of the Flood Dragon, Lin Fan shook the God-Slaying Sword in his hand and suddenly launched a killing move.

"Shangqing Sword Skill: One Sword Divides Yin and Yang!"

In an instant, green light flared, and the Shangqing Sword Intent mixed with sword Qi erupted; the massive sword Qi soared into the sky, directly covering the Flood Dragon's massive body. ===== CHAPTER 116 =====
