Chapter 462 Slaying the Fire Dragon

Almost at the moment when the teeth of the Fire Dragon were about to pierce Qing Li's throat, he realized that something was wrong.
The taste was off!
This feeling was not like tearing the other party's flesh, but rather like biting into an incredibly hard piece of stone.
赤火蛟睁着自己仅剩的独眼，艰难地向上看去。
一片片青翠欲滴的玉石鳞甲映入眼帘，他咬中的居然不是青璃，而是一座栩栩如生的玉石凋像！
透过玉石凋像晶莹剔透的身体，赤火蛟看到真正的青璃就在玉石凋像身后，爪中青光涌现，不知是在做什么。
赤火蛟刚想抽身离开，突然间那玉石凋像竟自行活动了起来，四只巨大的蛟爪勐地扣住了他的身体，将其固定在原地动弹不得。
Out of anger, the Flame Dragon increased the strength in its mouth.
With a "crunching" sound, the crack in the throat of the Jade Stone withered became wider, but for a moment, the Flame Dragon could not break free.
Just then, accompanied by a dense and extremely pure green spiritual energy, a giant sword measuring a hundred feet long was drawn out of the green light by Qingli. Then, with a single claw, she elegantly held the sword up, the sharp tip of the blade pointed directly at the throat of the jade stone statue.
‘曾’的一声！
巨剑刺出，毫无阻塞地切下了玉石凋像的头颅，贯穿了赤火蛟的大嘴，从后脑处刺出数丈长的剑尖。
The Red Fire Dragon struggled to no avail. Its extraordinary vitality gave it one last chance to fight back.
Unfortunately, its opponent was altogether different.
A bright blue aura glowed from the blade of the sword, and two blades suddenly extended from the sword that was thrust into the Red Fire Dragon's mouth. One went downwards, piercing through the lower jaw of the Red Fire Dragon and into its throat. The other one went upwards, piercing through the skull of the Red Fire Dragon and extending several feet from its crown.
The Red Fire Dragon, with a body of over a hundred feet long, suddenly trembled. In its final moment of life, its remaining eye lost its bloody color and regained its former clarity.
"What's going on?" the Red Flame Dragon asked in his mind.
It was a bewildering conflict, a senseless battle. This series of events happened too quickly, leaving them no time to think.
```htmlA powerful team consisting of a Level 9 Jiaolong and three Level 8 Jiaolongs, capable of sweeping through most human major forces, inexplicably met its demise.
What truly filled him with despair was that, from beginning to end, he only caught a glimpse of a shadow resembling a lake at the bottom of that great whirlpool.```
明明连对方是谁长什么样子都不知道，他们就莫名奇妙地走上了绝路。
带着一种无力的悲凉感，赤火蛟彻底失去了生息。
'Qingli' narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the Red Flame Jiao in front of her with satisfaction.
Suddenly, Qingli's eyes widened and her gaze became much more intelligent.
“我……我赢了！”
青璃惊喜地欢呼一声，然而一个不合时宜的声音却从她头顶传来。
“错！是我赢了！”
陆云泽显出身形，落到她的面前。
"Isn't it using my body? Then I win!" Qingli grinned, her thought process unusually simple, direct, and joyful.
Luyunze pressed his forehead in frustration, originally considering whether he should just take her away with him because of how well she performed today.
However, at this moment, Lu Yunze suddenly began to waver in his decision.
With a flick of her green eyes, Qīnglí suddenly reached out with her paw and cut open the head of the Scarlet Flame Dragon, taking out a fiery red demon pill.
接着，她又连忙将这枚妖丹藏在怀里，一脸警惕地看着陆云泽。
“我打赢的，这就是我的战利品！剩下的就归你了。”青璃一边护着妖丹，一边故作大方地说道。
Luyunze rolled his eyes and gave a small smirk, then calmly said, "Do as you please."
"Hmm?" This response actually left Qingli stunned in place.
"As you've seen underwater, that formation was suppressing something inside," Luyunze pointed with his chin towards the corpse of Chihuo Jiao.
"These guys turned into this because they absorbed things leaked from the formation. If you're not afraid of turning into their ghostly appearance, you can take the demonic pill."
青璃脑中瞬间闪过了四条蛟龙宛如野兽般的表现，吓得她咽了口唾沫，连忙把那枚妖丹扔回给了陆云泽。
陆云泽笑着接过妖丹，顺手把赤火蛟的尸身和潜藏在尸身中的神魂一并收了起来。
This eighth-level Red Fire Dragon, after absorbing demonic energy, has increased its divine power by at least thirty percent. Even without considering its preciousness as an eighth-level dragon, it is still a very rare research material.
As for whether this demonic pill is contaminated with demonic energy and whether there will be any consequences after taking it?
He has no idea. It was just a casual remark, what does it have to do with him if this fool scares himself?
With a deep sense of pain, Qingli watched as the coveted demon pill slipped away from her grasp, and she glared at Lu Yunze with an expression of bitter resentment.
“Don't look at me like that. This demon pill can't be taken lightly, but I'll make it up to you by using the scales from this creature to upgrade your Qinglong armor later on,” said Lu Yunze casually.
"Really?!" Qingli's eyes lit up. Then she seemed to suddenly think of something and asked eagerly:
"There are still two other dragon serpents, why don't we go and kill them now?"
"...You're really something!" Lu Yunze couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"But let's forget it for now, the Suan Ni tribe will be here soon if we delay any longer." Lu Yunze finally glanced at the turbulent sea below.
那两条蛟龙还在互相厮杀，一副不死不休的架势。
强大的神通、旺盛的生命力、只懂得杀戮与战斗的意识，还有这见了血就不死不休的习性。
These demon beasts soaked in demonic energy are simply the perfect cannon fodder!
Is this the nature of demonic energy itself? Or is it a trait deliberately added by some guy?
Lan Yunze furrowed his brows and flew away from this sea area together with Qingli.
Half an hour later, the calm sea suddenly split apart to reveal a mighty white chimeric beast that slowly rose up, its feet treading on the waves.
Silver-blue scales covered its entire body, and a silver-white mane glinted in the sunlight.
Two eighth-grade dragons lay motionless at his feet, lying helpless on the waves, their fate unknown.
"The smell of humans..." The mythical beast, Suanni, sniffed the air, emitting a blinding white light around its body.
Next moment, an old man with deep eyebrows, wide mouth, and silver hair appeared on the waves, staring in the direction where Lu Yunze and Qing Li left with his deep eyes.
This turned out to be a level ten Suan Niu beast!
