Chapter Fifteen: Slaying Candle Dragon

  Di Jiang had spent forty-nine years completely refining the Invincible Brick of the Emperor and did not dare to hesitate any longer, quickly flying westward.

  At this time, the battle between the three tribes and the demon tribe had reached a white heat. The demon ancestor Luo Yu set up the Xian Jian sword array, trapping Hong Jun, Yang Mei, Feng Tian, Zhu Long, and Lin Zu, five quasi-saints inside. Luo Yu's strength was also extraordinary, similarly at the peak of quasi-sainthood, half-step into sainthood, plus the help of the first killing array in the vast wilderness, Xian Jian sword array, for a time, he fought with Hong Jun and the other four, neither gaining the upper hand nor falling behind.

  The Primordial Chaos Demons of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, such as the Ancestral Venerable of the Azure Sky and the Ancestral Venerable of the Thunder Marsh, clashed with the Four Great Blood Guards and the Eight Great Demon Guards under Luohou's command. These four great blood guards were just like the Primordial Chaos Demons, possessing peak strength at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, while the eight great demon guards all had initial cultivation at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. For a time, both sides were evenly matched, and it was difficult to determine who would emerge victorious, with neither side able to gain an advantage.

  Kunpeng and Emperor Jun fought against a demon guard each, exchanging blows back and forth without any extraordinary moves, looking very low-key.

  The remaining Golden Immortals and below were fighting in a chaotic mess, but after fifty years of brutal battle, eight or nine out of ten had fallen.

  As soon as Di Jiang arrived on the battlefield, he saw that none of the main personnel had fallen, and his heart was greatly settled. Then, he secretly joined the fray. None of the cultivators in the great battle noticed this person who had just joined the battlefield, this person who was about to change the entire situation of the battlefield.

  Emperor Jiang summoned the Wuji Huang flag to sacrifice at his head, and took out the Invincible Brick in his hand. He slowly approached a demon guard who was engaged in a fierce battle with a dragon tribe's Daluo Golden Immortal. The demon guard did not notice Emperor Jiang's approach at all. Emperor Jiang measured it with his eyes, feeling that he had already entered the attack range of the Invincible Brick, and without hesitation, threw out the brick. With a "whoosh", it slapped onto the back of the demon guard's head, followed by a dull impact sound. The demon guard slowly fell to the ground, his eyes losing focus, and his primordial spirit extinguished. Until death, he did not understand why he had fallen in such a way.

  That Da Luo Jinxian who was fighting alongside him was also stunned, and it took half a day for him to react. He looked around in confusion but didn't find anything, and he didn't even know who had made the move. By this time, Emperor Jiang had already left to look for his next target.

  Di Jiang found another demon guard to fight with a dragon clan cultivator, but he saw that the dragon clan cultivator was also deeply entangled in karma. He had the idea of killing both of them together. After all, ninety percent of those with deep karma are not good people, and killing them would bring merit. Why not do it? Without hesitation, he first hit the demon guard with a brick, then immediately hit the dragon clan cultivator with another brick. With Di Jiang's late-stage Mahayana Golden Immortal strength, sneaking up on two early-stage Mahayana Golden Immortal cultivators, the outcome was naturally self-evident.

  The Emperor darted about the battlefield like a ghost, his Brick of Invincibility slapping down relentlessly. Unbeknownst to everyone, four of the Eight Great Devil Guards had already fallen, yet no one seemed to have noticed.

  The remaining four demon guards had two of them entangled in a fierce battle with Kunpeng and Emperor Jun, while the other two were fighting against an unknown chaotic demon god. Emperor Jiang no longer had any intention of dealing with these demon guards, his eyes drifting towards the distant battlefield where the four great blood guards were battling against the Old Ancestors of the Sky, Heaven, Yin-Yang, and the Great God of Thunder. However, all these cultivators possessed a cultivation level at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, one level higher than himself, making it somewhat perilous to launch a sneak attack.

  Emperor Jiang pretended to be majestic and killed a few demon tribe cultivators, while searching for the best opportunity to ambush on the side, ready to take out the invincible brick at any time.

  At this moment, a sudden change occurred in the Xian Jian formation. Luo Hui suddenly rose up and resisted the Pan Gu fan in Hong Jun's hand, attacking Feng Tian, Zhu Long, and Lin Zu with all his might, regardless of the cost. The Xian Jian formation rotated violently, and three sword energies containing the way of killing shot towards Feng Tian and the others. The three were already exhausted from resisting the formation, and when they saw the three powerful sword energies coming, they had no way to defend themselves. With a loud crash, Feng Tian and the others let out a miserable cry and flew out of the formation, their energy weak and feeble, having suffered heavy injuries.

  Di Jiang's eyes lit up, and he abruptly abandoned the four great Blood Guards, suddenly bursting forth towards the fallen Zhu Long.

  "Kunpeng, if not now, when will we take revenge!" Emperor Jiang shouted loudly. Kunpeng and Emperor Jun also noticed the situation here, without hesitation, instantly broke free from the two demon guards entwining them, transformed into their true form, and rushed towards Zhu Long with a whoosh.

  "What are you going to do!" The heavily injured Zhu Long also noticed the three Emperors, and was shocked. He himself was wounded by the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation and couldn't use his magic at all. If he were to be attacked jointly by these three people, today might just be the day he falls here.

  "Find you to avenge your death!" Kunpeng's hoarse voice revealed a crazy killing intent, enduring for over 300 years, finally waiting for this opportunity today, Kunpeng was in an excited state all over his body.

  Di Jun remained silent, the scene of Bei Ming pushing him away still faintly imprinted in his mind. Being saved by a woman was the most humiliating thing he had ever experienced, and as for the culprit who caused this, he didn't mind adding insult to injury when he was already in trouble.

  The dragon tribe cultivators closer to the Candle Dragon, seeing the danger it was in, flew over to block Emperor Jiang and his two companions. Unfortunately, they were no match for them.

  "Die for me!" Kunpeng let out a loud roar, and his Devouring Divine Ability was activated. The dragon tribe cultivators who were blocking him were all swallowed into his belly, transformed into a thread of divine power to replenish his losses.

  Di Jiang flew at the fastest speed, and the dragon tribe cultivators couldn't stop him at all. In an instant, he arrived in front of Zhu Long, and the Invincible Brick slapped out, smashing straight towards Zhu Long's forehead.

  The dragon's fear intensified, and it hastily used the Dragon Ball to defend itself. The Invincible Brick struck the Dragon Ball, causing a wave of spiritual energy to burst out. The dragon couldn't withstand it and spat out a mouthful of blood. Emperor Jiang saw that this hit hadn't killed him and felt slightly disappointed. He recalled the Invincible Brick and prepared to strike again.

  At this time, Kunpeng finally arrived. Since the Sheep Fat Jade Bottle didn't have much attack power, Kunpeng directly used his claws to attack Candle Dragon. The sharp double claws went straight for Candle Dragon's head. At this time, Candle Dragon could no longer withstand the consumption of the Dragon Ball's power, and the Dragon Ball automatically flew back into his body. Without defense, Candle Dragon was caught by Kunpeng's two claws, and the sharp double claws directly pierced his skull. Then, he was dragged out far away and thrown out violently. The intense pain invaded Candle Dragon's brain, and he couldn't help but let out a mournful scream that echoed through the sky.

  At this time, a true fire of the sun came out and intercepted the candle dragon that was thrown out in mid-air. Wherever the true fire of the sun burned, the body of the candle dragon turned black. It was Emperor Jun who arrived.

  "Hongjun, my friend, save me!" Candle Dragon shouted with his last bit of strength, but unfortunately, it had no effect. At this time, Hongjun was trapped in the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation and had no chance to come and rescue him. However, this shout made Hongjun notice what was happening on this side, and seeing Candle Dragon's danger, he couldn't bear it and involuntarily spoke out to stop it.

  "Three fellow Taoists, stop immediately! First eliminate the demon and protect the Tao, then consider the bigger picture."

  Kunpeng and Di Jun didn't care about Hongjun, continuing to attack Zhu Long. Only Di Jiang dared not be rude, hastily responding with a sentence.

  "We three have a great karma with Candle Dragon, if we don't settle it, it will affect our future cultivation." At the same time, Invincible Brick's second strike accurately hit the back of Candle Dragon's head, and the critically injured Candle Dragon could no longer withstand it. With a loud crash, its skull and primordial spirit were reduced to a cloud of dust.

  Hong Jun saw that Zhu Long was already dead and didn't say anything else. He continued to focus on fighting against Luo Hou.

  At this time, Emperor Jiang and Emperor Jun both let out a sigh of relief in their hearts. They had finally gotten rid of the quasi-saint level Candle Dragon. However, what made Emperor Jiang regretful was that it wouldn't be good to kill Lin Zu again now. If he killed Lin Zu again, he would have no excuse when facing Hong Jun. Emperor Jiang turned his head and looked at Lin Zu.

  Linzu seemed to have sensed something, and was frightened into retreating while calling upon many Qilin tribe cultivators to protect himself. The death of Zhu Long had clearly given him a great shock. This series of actions earned him Emperor Jiang's ridicule.

  The Emperor Jiang looked at Kunpeng again, but this time Kunpeng did not stop because of the death of Candle Dragon. His sharp claws were all out, and he was frantically scratching on the body of Candle Dragon. Every claw would bring up a piece of flesh and blood, venting his years of sorrow. At the same time, Kunpeng's face was full of terrifying madness, tears falling from his eyes like a burst dam, impossible to stop, dripping onto the already unrecognizable corpse of Candle Dragon. Emperor Jun wanted to go forward to stop him, but was blocked by Emperor Jiang, thinking it would be better to let him vent for a while.

  The dragon tribe cultivators all sensed the death of Candle Dragon, and they couldn't help but feel a deep sorrow. The mournful cries rose up from all directions, causing those who heard it to feel heartbroken and shed tears. The entire battlefield was shrouded in an atmosphere of grief. Many dragon tribe cultivators left the battlefield at this time, not looking back as they flew straight out to sea.

  At this scene, Emperor Jiang couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. I and Jun Di killed the Candle Dragon and ended the karma of the North Sea, but at the same time, we also tied ourselves to the entire dragon clan with karma. This karma is indeed complex and unpredictable, but it has fulfilled that old saying: when will the cycle of revenge end?

  It's good that we can get a lot of merit by killing the dragon, otherwise I don't know if this time is worth it or not.
