"Charging forward against such a fierce warrior would only be suicide!"
"Although abandoning Ji Ruyue would be a disgrace to my reputation as the chief disciple,"
"losing face is better than losing my life, right?"
Yi Lianxing and the other two also happily returned, their eyes full of admiration as they looked at Jiang Fan.
To be able to kill a Beast King at the second level of Core Formation in direct combat?
This was definitely enough to rank within the top five in the Nine-Sect Land!
Ming Youlian, supported by Fu Chaohun, also returned, filled with shock.
Her old face felt a bit ashamed.
She, a dignified great elder, had her arm bitten off by a beast, yet was killed by a junior.
How could she face anyone if this got out?
"Most of this beast's divine skills can only be used in water."
"Its strength on land is less than one-tenth of that."
She commented, unconvinced.
Jiang Fan did not deny it.
If they were in the river, his fate would not have been much better than the great elder's.
After all, this beast was elusive in the river.
His sound wave cultivation technique would hardly cause any effective damage to it.
And it could always bite the boat, causing everyone to fall into the water.
If that happened, Jiang Fan's fighting power would be greatly limited.
That would be a big problem.
"What Elder Ming said is true," Jiang Fan replied perfunctorily.
But his gaze was already evaluating which parts of the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon were valuable.
The last White Crystal Beast had brought him quite a bit of treasure.
This Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon should be no less valuable.
Ming Youlian noticed Jiang Fan's gaze and only then realized the tremendous wealth lying in front of them!
Her eyes locked on the giant mouth of the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon.
Her eyes were burning with fiery intent.
After all, it had bitten off her arm to protect Fu Chaohun.
The teeth in its mouth were undoubtedly the perfect material for crafting high-grade magical artifacts.
Their value was extreme.
She immediately flashed over to the corpse of the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon.
Seeing this, Yi Lianxing shouted angrily, "Stop! This is Junior Brother Jiang's spoils of war!"
She couldn't believe that dignified Great Elder Ming would shamelessly seize a disciple's spoils of war!
She instinctively wanted to rush over.
But Jiang Fan grabbed her and exclaimed softly, "Don't go!"
Turning around, she found that not only was Jiang Fan motionless,
but Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng were also warily retreating a few steps.
After the incident with the Black Lotus, they had learned a valuable lesson from Jiang Fan.
That was to be cautious!
The Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon in front of them was both fierce and cunning; they couldn't afford to be careless.
Yi Lianxing couldn't help but murmur, "Aren't you all being too cautious?"
"Is the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon still alive?"
Ming Youlian had already flashed to the corpse of the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon.
Looking at the four sharp, human-sized teeth in its mouth, her eyes burned with intensity.
"Obtaining these four top-grade magic artifact materials can at least reclaim some interest for my lost arm."
She reached out with her other hand, grabbing one of the sharp teeth and yanking forcefully.
As soon as she exerted force!
The seemingly dead Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon's cracked yellow eyes suddenly rolled.
A fierce burst of malicious energy erupted abruptly!
Its giant mouth snapped shut!
Ming Youlian's arm was instantly bitten.
Immediately afterward, the massive body of the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon rolled over,
yanking her arm off with a scream.
Ming Youlian was thrown across to the village's grindstone, knocked unconscious on the spot!
Thus, the great elder of Heavenly Sound Sect had both arms bitten off.
Reduced to being a cripple!
The Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon's ferocity remained undiminished.
Its shattered eye sockets fixed on Jiang Fan, issuing weak roars of anger.
But it could no longer launch an attack.
The last strike had been its final exertion.
It was meant for Jiang Fan.
But, unfortunately, it was Ming Youlian who had fallen for it!
This left it vexed and unwilling.
After a few labored breaths, it fell silent.
Witnessing all this, Yi Lianxing broke out in a cold sweat, her face going pale:
"That beast... was faking death just now?"
She held her wildly pounding chest, dry-mouthed.
If it hadn't been for Jiang Fan holding her back, her fate would have been the same as Ming Youlian's, or worse!
Qin Caihe breathed softly with a bit of pride: "Senior Sister Yi, now do you understand why we were so cautious?"
Chu Xingmeng gazed at Jiang Fan with sparkling eyes and nodded slightly: "Yes."
"We all learned this from Senior Brother Jiang."
Yi Lianxing turned to Jiang Fan with immense gratitude: "Thank you, Junior Brother Jiang."
Jiang Fan nodded: "When you're out and about, a bit more caution never hurts."
He then walked over to the corpse of the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon.
Only then did he notice that among the beast's teeth, four were human-sized and extremely sharp.
Touching them felt exceptionally cold.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Fan forcibly tore out one.
He then took out his water bottle and poured water over it.
The surface of the tooth immediately gathered thin layers of frost.
Concentrating, Jiang Fan infused a bit of spiritual power and slashed it at the body of the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon.
An astonishing scene unfolded as intense cold erupted from the tooth, freezing half of the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon's body!
"So, the innate divine ability of the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon resided in its teeth!"
"No wonder Elder Ming wanted to seize the teeth!"
Jiang Fan couldn't hide his joy.
Even without any refining, the power of these teeth rivaled that of a mid-grade magic artifact.
If they could find a skilled refining master, they could be turned into high-grade magic artifacts!
He didn't hesitate and tore out all four teeth.
"The rest, you three divide among yourselves." Jiang Fan pocketed the teeth.
Now, his body was already laden with countless items.
He carried two swords, slung an ancient zither, and had numerous crystal tokens, spirit pills, and miscellaneous objects on him.
And now, four human-sized teeth.
He had no space left on him at all.
So, the remaining items had to be divided among the three women.
The three women were delighted and quickly retrieved their preferred parts.
This scene made the disciples of the Desires Sect envious.
"That's the corpse of a Beast King; even the cheapest scales can sell for thousands of crystal stones."
"Not to mention the stomach pouch, beast whip, and beast bones!"
"How did they get so lucky to gain Junior Brother Jiang's favor?"
"Am I not as beautiful as them?"
"It's really unfair."
Jiang Fan glanced at the Desires Sect and narrowed his eyes, saying:
"Xie Liushu, shall we continue settling our score?"
After a moment, some of his spiritual power had recovered.
Playing a part of the "Tiger and Dragon Roar Technique" was still possible.
Xie Liushu's eyelid twitched as he discreetly pushed Ji Ruyue forward.
Ji Ruyue's face turned pale, and she nervously moved her three-inch golden lotuses, carefully approaching Jiang Fan.
Without waiting for Jiang Fan to speak, she knelt down actively and pleaded:
"Junior Brother Jiang, it was my fault. I apologize."
"Please show mercy and spare me."
Jiang Fan remained unmoved and slowly drew the Black Sword.
He was preparing to strike her once.
Of course, it was only to injure her and teach her a lesson.
Their task was to escort the Thousand-mile Eagle to the Desires Sect.
Before completing the task, they would definitely not kill the disciples of the Desires Sect.
Otherwise, it would be hard to account for the task.
However, this scared Ji Ruyue to death, thinking Jiang Fan was going to kill her.
Her face showed anxiety.
She turned to see Xie Liushu, who had no intention of helping her.
She gritted her teeth, resolved:
"Junior Brother Jiang, I'll exchange a piece of information for my life, okay?"
What kind of information could be so important?
That it could save her life?
Jiang Fan asked, "What information?"
Ji Ruyue spoke quickly:
"On our way to this place, we discovered a Nascent Soul Great Power's cave!"
Jiang Fan's pupils contracted.
A Nascent Soul Great Power's cave?
His breathing immediately hastened!
Never had he imagined that the news Ji Ruyue would throw out was something capable of causing a major earthquake in the Nine-Sect Land!
