Chapter 615: Subduing the Dragon

All along, for Yingzhoufan, discrimination against demon descendants was a propaganda slogan, a tool to elevate his own status.

But he didn't fully believe in the theory of discrimination against demon descendants.

After all, if humans discriminated against the noble bloodline within him, that was indeed problematic and worth getting angry about.

But discrimination against lowly rat demons, insect demons... this seemed normal to Yingzhoufan; even he himself looked down on such lesser demons.

On the contrary, wealthy and powerful people were more worthy of respect in his eyes, especially given the theory of human-demon common origin that came from the demon descendants' archaeological research in recent years... humans originally evolved from demons.

Although many humans refuted the theory of human-demon common origin, Yingzhoufan still strongly believed in it. He and many of his demon descendant friends were supporters of this theory.

So at this moment, after sensing Zhang Yu's formidable strength, the latter was no longer scum in his eyes, but at least a top-tier human.

And when Yingzhoufan proposed this win-win cooperation, he was at least more than half sincere.

Yingzhoufan thought to himself: "If I keep fighting him inside Zhang Yu's grand formation, even if I can break through it, I will probably suffer severe injuries."

"But if we cooperate, we can surpass everyone and rush to the finish line together... by then I'll have long left his formation, and I'll ambush him to settle first and second place."

"If this Zhang Yu guy doesn't agree, then I'll just have to tough it out till the end."

At the same time, Yingzhoufan's dragon body twisted, already prepared to forcefully contend with the formation.

Facing Yingzhoufan's proposal, Zhang Yu simply said indifferently: "Take my sword."

The next moment, as Zhang Yu lightly pointed with his sword finger, hundreds of streaks of cold light shot out, falling like a meteor shower, shooting towards Yingzhoufan.

The giant dragon in the water let out a furious roar, its body sweeping up monstrous waves, as if about to churn the entire sea into a mess.

Zhang Yu then unleashed a move called "Eternal Abyss", the Seven Absolute Dharma Skeleton that had been accumulating power since the start of battle driving out a mass of earthly nether gravitational force, like a cage of gravity heading to trap the dragon.

Yingzhoufan waved his Demon-Summoning Banner back and forth, trying to shield his spiritual realm signal in the thick dust, colliding again and again with the sword realm Zhang Yu had opened, yet he could never break free from the lock of the Taihao Moral Sword Intent.

As the two sides exchanged blows in a series of lightning-fast clashes, one after another temporary flying swords swept over Yingzhoufan like a rainstorm.

In an instant, the collision of swords and dragon armor first sent sparks flying underwater, then the dragon armor gradually cracked under the relentless impact of the sword blades, bursting out large clouds of blood mist.

Roar!

Amid the dragon roar, Yingzhoufan shouted angrily: "Zhang Yu! Don't you dare trample on the dignity of us demon descendants! I'd rather die than surrender!"

At the same time, ripples of water carried Yingzhoufan's voice into Zhang Yu's ears: "Isn't that enough? If we keep fighting, even if I really get severely injured, you'll also waste time, and neither of us will get good results. Why bother?"

"Next, I'll pretend to be heavily injured, you capture me, and I'll send you to the finish line."

Facing Yingzhoufan's telepathic persuasion, Zhang Yu just shouted: "Come!"

The next moment, amid a fierce fight, blood blossoms burst out all over Yingzhoufan's body, his strength seeming to weaken a lot, yet he still put on a show of desperate resistance, as if he was no match.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "What a drama queen. He wants to highlight my power by playing a demon descendant hero resisting discrimination and oppression?"

"I'll grant your wish."

Then, sword after sword violently pierced into Yingzhoufan's dragon body, causing him to let out a miserable scream.

And just as the dragon's mouth opened, a streak of firelight was spat out by Zhang Yu—it was the Tianri Huang Shen, shooting straight into Yingzhoufan's body.

Allowing the Tianri Huang Shen to bore into his belly, Yingzhoufan seemed to let out a dragon roar mixed with shock and fury.

Then, with repeated stimulation from the sword bodies and flames, Yingzhoufan put up a show of fierce resistance, until he was finally forced to submit and was brought before Zhang Yu.

Through the water waves, Yingzhoufan's voice came through gritted teeth: "Enough? Let's take first place together."

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "This demon is so docile in letting me subdue him, I'm afraid there's a trick. Most likely he wants to use my power to rush to the finish line and then make his move."

Yingzhoufan thought to himself: "Hmph, for now I'll let you have the upper hand, helping me finish the complete act of being discriminated against, brutally suppressed, and finally making a comeback."

Zhang Yu thought: "Together we'll rush to just before the finish line, and then..."

Yingzhoufan thought: "Ambush him and snatch first place!"

Meanwhile, outside the underwater storm triggered by the fierce battle between Zhang Yu and Yingzhoufan.

Mu Qiansi's figure left a series of afterimages as she continuously sprinted forward.

"Good, good, good. You two keep fighting till the end of time."

Mu Qiansi thought to herself: "I'll go ahead first."

But soon after, Mu Qiansi sensed a commotion beneath the water. A colossal dragon's shadow had already broken through the storm, surging past her position at an astonishing speed, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"That is..."

Mu Qiansi furrowed her brow, recalling the scene she had just witnessed.

There stood Zhang Yu proudly atop the dragon's head, trampling Yingzhou Fan's head as he charged forward.

"Where is your pride as a yao descendant? So easily subdued by a human?"

Mu Qiansi cursed inwardly, sprinting forward with all her might, only to see the figures of the dragon and the man continually widening the gap ahead of her.

The raging currents were like countless massive hands, churning spiraling sprays of water that, controlled by the one dragon and one man, propelled them forward.
