Fang Yuan was somewhat confused, wondering why a demon would also be the host of the nation's destiny.
Previously, Ye Chuan, though a bit arrogant and ungrateful, was at least human.
"So, from what you're saying, you want to eat me? Since ancient times, demons have eaten humans, but now humans are supposed to eat demons? This is truly a reversal of fate!"
The Dragon King grinned, a smile spreading across his face as if he'd just heard a ridiculous joke.
"Well, I'm curious to see how someone like you, a wandering soul, is going to..."
Before the sentence was finished, Fang Yuan had already disappeared from his original spot, reappearing in front of the Dragon King, his sword thrusting forward!
Fang Yuan's specialty was interrupting others' spells!
Slash!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Dragon King immediately erupted with golden light, countless slashes hitting its body, producing dazzling sparks!
But the sparks quickly extinguished, and the Dragon King's black scales became even more luminous.
"Are you trying to tickle me?" the Dragon King sneered, revealing its sharp white teeth.
Fang Yuan's expression remained calm as he raised his hand and struck a second slash. The result was the same—the Dragon King casually stood there, choosing to tank all of his attacks.
Fang Yuan's gaze swept across the Dragon King's body, and not a single wound could be seen.
Not the back, the limbs, or even its eyes were hurt.
This demon was very tough—more so than the crab that was good at defense.
So this is the strength of the dragon... he could use "Slash" to repeatedly hack at the crab, but this one is not so easy to deal with.
I don't even know where to strike.
"No wonder you want to eat me. Looks like you're too hungry to be strong enough, huh?!"
After two failed attacks, the Dragon King began laughing: "Now, it's my turn to retaliate!"
It casually waved its hand, and a gigantic shadow of a palm, dozens of meters tall, shot up from the ground, instantly covering all the area in front of it!
Boom!!!
The entire hill shook violently. Hou Yuntao, who had been hiding far away, was now underground, only showing his eyes as he watched in shock.
This Dragon King was so absurdly powerful, even a casual strike was terrifying!
Hou Yuntao felt his scalp tingle. He had initially thought there was hope when he saw the young man appear like a celestial being in white. Now, it seemed the hope was still lacking!
The young man's attacks had no effect on the Dragon King. On the other hand, the Dragon King's counterattack... would the young man be killed instantly?!
"Heh, where did this fool come from? I can destroy you with a snap of my fingers!"
The Dragon King sneered, but then raised an eyebrow, its tone turning suspicious as it said, "Hmm?"
Because through the smoke, Fang Yuan's figure reappeared. His hair was swirling wildly, his body upright, and his neat white clothes swished in the wind.
"You're fine? A mere wandering soul, how can you be fine?"
A look of confusion appeared on the Dragon King's face. The previous strike had contained its dragon might, which should have been particularly effective against this weak and formless wandering soul. A single blow should have scattered his soul immediately. How could he still be floating in front of it unscathed?
"It's not an ordinary physical attack... but it's no big deal."
Fang Yuan glanced at his remaining 9,000 HP and silently thought about his next move.
"So this is your so-called counterattack?"
He spoke with a nonchalant tone:
"You're too weak to even land a blow, and you're still claiming to be a demon?"
Since he couldn't break through the Dragon King's defense, Fang Yuan shifted his strategy. Talking to kill time wasn't such a bad idea.
"My lord, do you need my help?!"
Seeing Fang Yuan still calm and collected, Hou Yuntao suddenly gained confidence. He had been hiding while the other fought, feeling a little guilty about not joining in, so he immediately requested to fight.
"Stop trying to make a scene, just stay out of it and watch quietly!"
Fang Yuan rejected Hou Yuntao's offer. He had the Fourth Calamity and could withstand the Dragon King's attacks. But Hou Yuntao was different—any stray wind from the Dragon King could severely injure him.
It was easy for him to be killed by splash damage.
"How dare you play tricks in front of me!"
The Dragon King snorted coldly, raising its hand again, and another massive palm appeared, reaching for Fang Yuan!
Fang Yuan wanted to taunt it, but the Dragon King wasn't having any of it and immediately struck again!
Boom!
A terrifying palm imprint, dozens of meters wide, appeared on the ground, but the strike missed Fang Yuan.
With his Yin God's incredible speed, Fang Yuan calmly dodged the attack.
When the Dragon King saw its strike miss, instead of getting angry, it actually smiled!
This young man chose to dodge its attack... which meant its attack had some effect on him!
The opponent wasn't as carefree as he appeared!
Now that it knew this, it was much easier to handle!
"Let's see how you dodge this one!"
The Dragon King's smile remained as it opened its mouth and fired a bright yellow sword beam!
The beam left a trail of afterimages as it shot towards Fang Yuan in mid-air!
Fang Yuan's figure flickered again, but the sword beam followed closely behind, as if attached to him, like a shadow!
"It's useless. This is my innate divine ability. The sword beam has locked onto your consciousness. Even if you fly to the ends of the earth, it will catch up to you!"
"Haha, run all you want! The faster you run, the more fun it will be to kill you!"
The Dragon King stood still, enjoying the cat-and-mouse game in the sky with an evil grin.
At that moment, the young man in the sky suddenly stopped, looking down at the Dragon King.
Seeing this, the Dragon King didn't immediately send the sword beam to attack. Instead, it grinned and said:
"Huh? Not running anymore? With that determined look in your eyes... Tsk tsk, are you planning to fight me to the death?"
"Yes, I am going to fight to the death, but the one dying is you..."
Fang Yuan also smiled, and the next moment, a white circle of light suddenly appeared beside him.
Inside the light circle, a figure exactly the same as Fang Yuan emerged!
The moment that figure appeared, the smile on the Dragon King's face instantly vanished.
A strong sense of unease surged within it, and its heart began to race as if someone had a tight grip on its heart!
For some unknown reason, that figure gave it an overwhelming sense of pressure, as though a great disaster was about to strike!
The Dragon King had always trusted its instincts, which was why it had survived so many life-or-death situations!
It couldn't play around anymore!
With that thought, the Dragon King immediately directed the sword beam towards Fang Yuan's Yin God, but at the same time, the Yin God had already merged with the body!
Fang Yuan, sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. His scorching black pupils were dazzling in the space!
In the next moment, the Dragon King's sword beam, just three feet away from Fang Yuan, was crushed into nothing by an invisible force!
The Dragon King's core divine ability was damaged, and it immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. In its shocked and confused gaze, Fang Yuan's mocking voice rang out:
"I'm waiting for the cooldown of the teleportation. What are you waiting for?"
