As the river flowed, one step from Jiang Liurong, the black sky darkened slightly.
He had never experienced a surge of power, and he felt even more that his left hand could pluck stars while his right hand could hold the moon, there is no one like me in the world.
With a thought, he could "see" the entire situation of the Jiang Zhou City.
Although he knows it is just a false illusion that the strength suddenly expands.
Yet, it also subtly told Jiang Liurou that he had temporarily transcended the mundane world!
And he didn't know if the golden pill that Tangle's deceased master had bestowed upon him had any strange side effects. Jiang Liurou only felt that he was unable to contain the malevolence, killing intent, and evil Qi in his heart.
When looking at the demon dragon again, all the sense of pressure had vanished.
He pointed his sword, and the heaven-ground sea-breaking sword flew out of the void.
A strong sense of crisis made Ao Yi's sweat bead upon his brow. He couldn't fathom why a single golden pill could make a young man seem like a divine general in the heavenly palace!
Ao Yi roared, "Stop your strange arts! Let me smash it with my umbrella!"
He immediately activated his magic power, and the treasure umbrella in his hand instantly opened up.
The umbrella spans several miles.
It covers the sky and hides the sun!
The grievances of more than 100,000 people, who were living and dying in agony, turned into substance at that moment and formed into waves of demons falling down. Ten thousand waves of demons rushed towards the heaven-defying sea-breaking sword.
A continuous series of rumbling sounds resounded in all directions, awakening the entire Jiangzhou region.
Uninformed civilians might wonder how loud today's thunder is.
The capable demons and ghosts have been terrified and disoriented.
The heaven-defying sea-breaking sword pierced through the ten thousand waves of demon aura, startling Ao Yi to use his umbrella as a weapon and block the flying sword with a single thrust forward. However, it also sent him recoiling a step back with a look of shock on his face.
Lifting his head, Ao Yi's pupils constricted as Jiang Liurou seized the opportunity to advance and close in just a few inches, holding the golden staff of descending demons.
A heavy thwack descended, and Ao Yi once again used his magical treasure to block it.
But little did he realize that the umbrella was pierced through by the descending staff!
Under the radiance of Buddha, the grudge of the umbrella was rapidly dissipating.
"What kind of Buddha treasure is this?!"
Ao Yi was shocked, he always felt like he had seen this golden staff before, but now there was no time to think about it. He was also no longer concerned about his appearance.
He hurriedly rolled up the umbrella in a messy tumble, narrowly avoiding Jiang Liurou's second strike.
Enraged, Ao Yi shouted, "What a young rascal! You have a bit of sharp skills and your two magical treasures are pretty formidable. Have the courage to fight me without any tools, relying on real martial arts to see who's the true master!"
Jiang Liurou repeated the sword chant, and the heaven-defying sea-breaking sword transformed into thousands of flying swords, falling down like a heavy rain shower towards Ao Yi.
He lifted the staff, relying on the radiant Buddha light, swinging down to hit the top of his head. He wanted to bash a bloody scoop into the demon dragon's forehead.
On his lips, he added, "Master Faming said that we should not believe others' provocation methods. They are just using false words to intentionally provoke people."
He was provoked to hurt someone in public by a monk the last time.
Now he's learned to be smart. The demon dragon can't provoke him anymore!
"Isn't using the power of divine artifacts also a true skill?"
Jiang Liurou's heavy thwack broke open Ao Yi's head and the blood flowed. The demon dragon couldn't help but emit a scream of agony, his mind buzzing and his feet slipping back. Above, the thousand flying swords had already descended, leaving the demon dragon no choice but to shield himself with his treasure umbrella once more.
Enduring the pain, he stretched open the umbrella, which could cover several miles, and successive flying swords were blocked.
But little did he realize that the heaven-defying sea-breaking sword was incredibly sharp.
But it pierced through the umbrella surface, straight for the demon dragon's skull. Ao Yi was petrified to his bones, and the alarms in his mind rang wildly. Without hesitation, he closed the umbrella, trapping the sea-breaking sword inside.
"This treasure of the Dragon Palace is now mine!" Ao Yi felt both pained and elated.
Jiang Liurou remained calm and composed, taking out his sword formula.
The sword again pierced through the umbrella, exposing its sharp blade that almost brushed up against both eyes. Startled, Ao Yi flung away the treasure umbrella, and the sword's sharp blade nearly grazed his dragon nose.
Even though he was not touched, a blood-smeared wound was pulled on the tip of his nose.
Jiang Liurou reached out to catch the treasure umbrella.
The heaven-defying sea-breaking sword turned back in the sky and returned to Jiang Liurou's side.
"This evil treasure is mine!" He repeated the words that the demon dragon had just spoken.
Enraged, Ao Yi's dragon face turned a mix of blue and red.
This umbrella is the fruit of his hard labor and piety, and it is perfectly aligned with the path he has chosen. It can make his cultivation twice as fast, and it can lead him to understand the path of eternal life that seems just out of reach.
Now, it has been snatched away by Jiang Liurou.
"Do not be arrogant!" Ao Yi's anger boiled over. "I, the dragon king, have dragon blood in my body, and my physical strength is unparalleled. My abilities are not inferior to any magical artifact!"
He spat out two swords, a male and a female one. The male sword was six feet long, comparable to a short lance; the female sword was only three feet long, shorter than the sea-breaking sword.
The demon dragon attacked Jiang Liurou, as he had said, his body and strength were extraordinary, and with a mere lift of his hand or a movement of his foot, he could crush mountains.
Jiang Liurou fought back with his left hand's heaven-defying sea-breaking sword and his right hand's golden staff, engaging in a close combat for a few rounds in an instant.
Although he doesn't have much strength, with the help of the golden pill, he has his power flowing through his body.
The demon dragon is incredibly strong, each move and strike is powerful enough to split mountains and break cliffs.
The collision of weapons caused a wave of aftershocks that shook down the houses in the city. The three gods rolled and crawled away, frightened. The officials in the city were left clueless about what was happening and had to yell "earth dragon overturning" as they rushed out.
'The demon dragon doesn't care about involving ordinary people, so I can't fight him in Jiangzhou.'
Jiang Liurou chanted the "Passage to the Underworld" incantation, pulling Ao Yi into the underworld.
The underworld guards saw another live person had entered the underworld on his own accord.
He was already numb.
When he saw Jiang Liurou's familiar face, the underworld guard sighed. But the next moment, he saw Jiang Liurou fighting a demon with a powerful demon. They traded blows and swords, clashing with each other like drums beating and thunder roaring.
Jiang Liurou's flesh was sliced by the male and female swords, but the strength of his body was so terrifying that the demon dragon's weapons only sparked up as they collided.
Ao Yi was struck in the forehead again by the golden staff, and this powerful blow almost caused his soul to fly out.
He roared with anger, spat out a fierce thunderbolt that shot like a lance.
Jiang Liurou couldn't dodge it and was thrown away for several miles.
Ao Yi was so angry that he flew off to chase after him—— his magical treasure, the umbrella, had been taken back by Jiang Liurou and stored in a Musthra Dharma seal. He was willing to risk his life to get it back.
Witnessing all this happen...
The underworld guard was terrified: "I never thought that the little kid was so powerful!"
"But who is that demon dragon?"
...
Ao Yi spat out a fierce thunderbolt, trying to take advantage to kill Jiang Liurou.
However, Jiang Liurou took out the umbrella and opened it up.
"Don't!" Ao Yi's eyes were about to pop out of his head.
Explode!!!
The most powerful and strongest thunder, which is also the antidote to the grudge of the umbrella, did not hurt Jiang Liurou. Instead, it blasted a huge hole in the umbrella that he was eagerly trying to get back.
Ao Yi's heart was bleeding. He dared not unleash thunder, so he held the male and female swords and charged towards Jiang Liurou.
Jiang Liurou gathered the broken umbrella, and with a twitch of his "mountain-carrying" incantation, he gained true mountain-carrying power. He declared: "I have already understood your demon dragon's moves. You are no longer my opponent."
"Audacious!" Ao Yi couldn't believe it, and he swept his male sword horizontally with one stroke.
Jiang Liurou met the sword with his own, the power of carrying a mountain was beyond Ao Yi's ability to bear.
In this exchange, Ao Yi was shaken so severely that his palms cracked.
Ao Yi was petrified, as the female sword lunged towards Jiang Liurou's chest. However, Jiang Liurou blocked it with his golden staff, and a crisp "pop" sound echoed, snapping the tip of the female sword.
Jiang Liurou pushed the staff against the demon dragon's dantian.
Ao Yi almost choked.
"Agh!" A gush of dragon blood spewed out, and his body plummeted down, smashing a hill in the underworld. The dust raised over hundred zhang high.
Ao Yi struggled to his feet, his abdomen a gaping, blood-soaked wound.
"I would rather not use this treasure, otherwise, it might draw his attention."
He had a grim look, gritting his teeth.
Ao Yi's spirit detached from his body, hiding a jade-like pearl as big as a bowl within his spiritual essence.
The jade-like pearl fell into his hand.
