Chapter 1081: The Great King, Spare My Life (First Update, seeking everything)

It was also at this moment that a massive shadow rushed toward the Sinking River Palace.

Aside from their Spirit Beasts, Li Zhangsheng transformed into a Black Tortoise, and Ning Bizhen transformed into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, determined to keep the Nujiang Great King from leaving.

Only at this moment did the Nujiang Great King finally sense a powerful enemy approaching, and it immediately summoned its elite subordinates to rush out of the Sinking River Palace.

Even in the dark underwater environment, the Nujiang Great King could clearly see the scene a hundred meters away.

Upon seeing the Black Tortoise and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon leading a group of Demon King-grade and Saint Grade Spirit Pet-grade Spirit Beasts rushing toward it, the Nujiang Great King was clearly startled, its eyes filled with shock and fear.

Even though the Black Tortoise and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon were clearly not yet fully grown based on their size, they still exuded the aura of Demon King-grade beings. Crucially, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon possessed an innate suppression over it through its Bloodline, and combined with the racial advantage, the Nujiang Great King might not even win in a one-on-one fight.

Compared to the Nujiang Great King, its subordinates were even more pathetic; those that were not Demon King-grade Spirit Beasts trembled in fear, and under the Dragon Might of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, the vast majority fell directly into a state of Cowering.

Even the five Demon King-grade Spirit Beasts under the Nujiang Great King, while not falling into a state of Cowering, were still filled with fear.

With a lineup like that from the opponent, what was the point of even fighting?

In an instant, before the Nujiang Great King could even give the order, four of the Demon King-grade Spirit Beasts scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in different directions.

Only the 'Prime Minister Turtle' did not flee immediately; this did not mean it was loyal to the Nujiang Great King, but rather that its speed in the water could not compare to its companions, so even if it tried to flee, it would not be able to.

In a flash, Prime Minister Turtle retreated into its shell, choosing to leave its fate to the heavens.

Run!

The Nujiang Great King's first thought was also to flee; when disaster strikes, everyone fends for themselves. It could no longer care about its subordinates and immediately transformed into a hundred-meter-long Flood Dragon. With a swing of its giant tail, the silt on the riverbed scattered wildly, reducing underwater visibility to near zero, and it turned to flee.

Suddenly, a massive golden net descended, instantly covering the Nujiang Great King.

Roar—

Accompanied by a Dragon Roar, the Nujiang Great King raised its head and crashed into the Sumeru Net.

However, at this very moment, a large purple cauldron suppressed it from above. The Nujiang Great King felt its entire body sink, as if it were carrying a mountain on its back. Its momentum dropped by more than a notch, and it was unable to break through the Sumeru Net immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Sumeru Net quickly tightened, completely enveloping the Nujiang Great King, making it feel like a large fish trapped in a fishing net.

However, the Nujiang Great King had been able to stand toe-to-toe with Zhao Yuanqing, so naturally, it would not be captured so easily.

In an instant, countless turbulent currents surged underwater, and a massive water tornado formed instantly. It not only resisted the suppression force of the Zining Cauldron but also pulled at the Sumeru Net, preventing it from clinging tightly to the Nujiang Great King.

Just as the Nujiang Great King was trying to break through the Sumeru Net, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, transformed from Ning Bizhen, rushed over first and swiped a claw at the Nujiang Great King's head.

The Nujiang Great King hurriedly dodged, but was struck by the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon on its flank.

Sshhh—

A harsh sound rang out; the Nujiang Great King's Dragon Scale and Dragon Skin were torn, revealing five deep claw marks over ten meters long.

The Nujiang Great King let out a muffled groan, but it dared not retaliate at all, fearing it would lose its only chance to escape, and wanted to break through the restraints of the Sumeru Net once more.

Swish—

The sound of a sword rang out abruptly, and a bright yellow sword light shot rapidly toward the Nujiang Great King's reverse scale.

The sword light had not yet arrived, but the Nujiang Great King felt a chill all over its body; it seemed that if it were struck by this sword light, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Without hesitation, it rolled on the riverbed, barely avoiding the vital reverse scale, but the area near its head was still pierced by the sword.

The Dragon Scale and Dragon Skin it had always relied on were like paper, easily pierced by the Huangquan Sword. Blood spilled everywhere, filling the surroundings with a bloody scent, faintly tinged with a hint of sweetness.

Before the Nujiang Great King could continue to flee, the Black Tortoise, transformed from Li Zhangsheng, descended. Its exaggerated weight pressed down on the Nujiang Great King, and even underwater, it caused the Nujiang Great King's Dragon eyes to bulge in extreme pain.

Li Zhangsheng retracted his four limbs, using his shell to pin the Nujiang Great King down, while his ghost head bit the Nujiang Great King's tail. His tail swung like an electric motor, slapping the Nujiang Great King's head repeatedly like a series of continuous strikes.

The Nujiang Great King's mouth and nose bled profusely; it looked miserable, and its Flood Dragon head was swollen.

Only at this moment did the few Water Attribute Spirit Beasts finally arrive. The Nujiang Great King had lost its chance to escape and, like a wilted eggplant, had no choice but to obediently accept its fate.

After capturing the Nujiang Great King, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen transformed back into human form and began to examine the Nujiang Great King.

As a Saint Grade Flood Dragon, the Nujiang Great King was over a hundred meters long, clearly a size larger than Dou Cangqiong's Flood Dragon.

Besides that, the Nujiang Great King's Dragon Horn was broken for some reason, clearly missing a large chunk. Looking at the break, it seemed to have been cut off in one go by some sharp weapon.

The hardest part of the Nujiang Great King's body was its Flood Dragon horn; even the Huangquan Sword would find it difficult to achieve such a result. Li Zhangsheng suspected it had been injured by a sharp Langhuan Supreme Treasure.

However, seeing the Nujiang Great King's appearance, Li Zhangsheng could not help but feel a sense of familiarity.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Huh, you are the Treasure King's Demon Pet!"

Li Zhangsheng used a tone of certainty. Although he only had a portion of the Treasure King's memories, the Treasure King's Demon Pets had accompanied him for too long, so naturally, he recognized the physical characteristics of the Demon Pets.

In the Treasure King's memories, he had a Saint Grade Flood Dragon. Due to the missing memories, he did not know why this Flood Dragon's horn was missing a large chunk, resulting in its current appearance.

Before the Treasure King's lifespan was near its end, he had spared no cost in enduring backlash to break the contracts with several of his main Demon Pets, originally intending to wait until he recovered to go find them, but he ended up being killed by Li Zhangsheng.

As for where these Demon Pets went and whether they were still alive, the partial memories obtained from the Treasure King contained no records of this.

The Nujiang Great King was stunned for a moment. It carefully examined Li Zhangsheng, but neither his appearance nor his aura felt familiar at all.

"Ah, does the Great King know my master?"

However, the Nujiang Great King was very clear about one thing: its life was in Li Zhangsheng's hands, and it wanted to use this to build a connection with him.

"I know him! Your master wanted my life, but ended up being killed by me instead."

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng took the opportunity to check the Nujiang Great King's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Flood Dragon (Mature Stage, Demi-God Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Saint Grade 9th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Higher Overlord

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Half-Step Epic

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Five-Clawed Golden Dragon (Vigorous)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Water + Gold

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None

No wonder the Nujiang Great King was a size larger than Dou Cangqiong's Flood Dragon; it was mainly due to its higher quality.

"Spare my life, Great King, spare my life!"

The Great King of the Angry River suddenly felt that things were amiss; he no longer had any thoughts of trying to build a rapport with Li Zhangsheng and hurriedly begged for mercy.
