Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 265 - Rejoicing

Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Rejoicing Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Rejoicing The waves had yet to settle when a massive crimson shadow reappeared in the bottomless river!

It surged out of the water, bringing with it towering waves ten feet high.

A gigantic red-scaled evil flood dragon, as large as a small mountain, leaped onto the shore!

Its face was hideous, emitting the terrifying aura of a beast king.

Suddenly, its thick nostrils twitched.

Its head snapped toward the piles of dead red-scaled evil flood dragons not far away.

It immediately opened its massive mouth, letting out an enraged roar.

...

The coarse sound caused Xie Liushu and the others’ eardrums to ache terribly.

The horses beneath them were frightened, running wildly out of control.

One carriage, in particular, plunged into chaos as the horses panicked.

The horses ran in different directions, causing the convoy to spin in place, unable to escape quickly.

The adult red-scaled evil flood dragon’s muddy eyes quickly turned blood-red, emitting a savage gleam.

With a powerful push of its legs, its seemingly clumsy and bulky body sprang forward more than a dozen feet, crushing a large portion of the carriages beneath it in an instant.

Several disciples of the Desires Sect, seeing the danger, abandoned the carriages and fled.

The horses were crushed into a mushy pulp.

The cargo inside the carriages was also pulverized.

Xie Liushu’s heart bled.

The mission items were completely destroyed, which meant he had failed the primary task he was responsible for.

But now was not the time for such thoughts.

Feeling the horrifying aura of the gigantic red-scaled evil flood dragon, Xie Liushu shuddered and said,

“This is a Core Formation second layer demon beast, we need to run!”

How could they possibly deal with a beast king of this level?

Surviving its jaws would already be a great fortune!

However.

The red-scaled evil flood dragon ignored them.

It fixed a vicious gaze on Jiang Fan and the others.

Because from them, it caught the scent of many small red-scaled evil flood dragons’ blood.

Especially from Jiang Fan, whom it smelled the most potent scent!

This meant that the ones who killed its offspring were undoubtedly them!

With an almost froglike growl, it leapt forward more than ten feet again, swiftly pursuing them.

Jiang Fan’s eyelid twitched slightly.

This thing was so ferocious even on land?

No wonder Ming Youlian, the Great Elder, had carelessly lost an arm to it.

Seeing the carriages being rapidly overtaken, Jiang Fan halted, saying, “Keep going forward, don’t stop!”

He decisively opened the wooden box, taking out a snowy white ancient zither.

“This is the first time using a High Grade magical artifact.”

“Hope it doesn’t disappoint me!”

Jiang Fan murmured softly, planting the zither into the ground.

Then, he held his breath and centered his mind, his hands suddenly pressing down on the strings.

Xie Liushu, watching from a distance, was startled and exclaimed,

“Is he crazy?”

“He actually plans to face such a beast king on his own?”

Ji Ruyue stared unblinkingly at the scene.

The solitary Jiang Fan against the monstrous creature.

The extreme contrast left a tremendous impact on her heart.

Is this… really the same Green Cloud Sect disciple she once looked down upon?

Likewise watching, Ming Youlian couldn’t help but frown.

“He still intends to challenge this beast alone?”

“I even lost an arm to it by accident!”

Although this beast’s power diminished on land, limiting its innate divine abilities.

How could Jiang Fan, just a junior, handle it?

Yi Lianxing, Qin Caihe, and Chu Xingmeng gasped.

But with the red-scaled evil flood dragon right behind them, their mission to protect the Thousand-mile Eagle left them no room to pause.

They could only anxiously glance back.

Jiang Fan’s solitary, fragile figure stood in stark contrast to the towering, massive body of the red-scaled evil flood dragon.

This scene etched deeply into everyone’s minds.

Visually, it left a profound impression!

As the fierce wind swept over him, Jiang Fan remained unmoved.

He calmly calculated the distance.

When the red-scaled evil flood dragon was only twenty feet away and leapt into the air again,

Jiang Fan seized the moment and decisively activated the Tiger and Dragon Roar Technique!

Clang—

The instant he strummed, Jiang Fan sensed something was wrong.

In a split second, a whole tenth of his spiritual power was drained!

This shocked him.

A Mid-grade magical artifact typically used no more than one percent of his power.

But a High Grade artifact consumed ten times that amount!

However, the unleashed power also startled Jiang Fan!

A mountain-shattering roar echoed, shaking all around.

The mid-air red-scaled evil flood dragon was torn open by the sonic waves, blood spurting wildly.

This was a Core Formation second layer beast king, with scales tough as steel.

Breaking through them with a mid-grade magical artifact was already challenging!

Yet, a single strum easily tore open its flesh!

If I unleash my full strength…

Jiang Fan’s eyes glimmered with anticipation.

The red-scaled evil flood dragon crashed to the ground.

The blood-red in its eyes rapidly faded to a muddy yellow, fear evident in its gaze.

It sensed Jiang Fan’s danger.

But smelling the blood on Jiang Fan, it roared in anger, leaping once more!

This zither’s sound, it could barely withstand, not reaching its innards.

As long as it killed this human quickly, there wouldn’t be a problem!

Little did it know.

That was just a trial strike!

Seeing it bearing down like a mountain,

Jiang Fan took a deep breath.

He unleashed all his spiritual power, fingers strumming in rapid succession, leaving afterimages!

At this moment.

The High Grade magical artifact and Earth-level mid-grade cultivation technique merged!

Releasing unprecedented might!

Wherever the sonic waves passed, the ground rolled as if plowed by oxen.

The surrounding vegetation snapped and flew apart with cracking sounds.

Dirt and dust surged into the sky.

The scene was far more intense than Gong Caiyi’s Sect Master Hall incident!

The mid-air red-scaled evil flood dragon encountered unprecedented sonic wave attacks!

Shredding sounds echoed—

Its scales split like paper, deep wounds crisscrossing its body.

Blood gushed out like springs!

The red-scaled evil flood dragon roared in pain, fear flashing in its eyes.

Evidently, it realized this sonic attack was terrifyingly powerful.

But, Jiang Fan was just an arm’s length away.

Crushing him would turn him into mush.

However, it soon regretted it.

And it was too late for regret.

For with Jiang Fan risking everything, the sonic waves grew more terrifying!

Its skin wasn’t just cut but burst apart, causing it to howl in pain.

Then, its eyes experienced searing pain.

Frightened, it shut its eyes, trying to protect this weak spot with its eyelid scales.

However.

In mere moments, piercing pain shot through its eyes.

Its scales had burst open.

What about its eyelids?

Both its eyes were shattered by the sonic waves!!

And the powerful waves traveled straight to its brain!

The mid-air red-scaled evil flood dragon crashed to the ground, writhing in agony.

Its massive body shook the ground, raising plumes of dust dozens of feet high.

It was like an earthquake.

The scene was horrifying!

Jiang Fan didn’t stop.

He ceaselessly sent out sonic attacks until the red-scaled evil flood dragon gradually stopped struggling.

Finally, belly-up, its body stiffened, motionless.

Only then did he cease.

In reality, he had no strength to continue.

His face was pale, his spiritual power nearly drained.

In just ten breaths, he had exhausted ninety-nine percent of his power.

But the result was pleasing.

A Core Formation second layer beast king was slain head-on!

Everyone around halted.

Their faces showed shock.

Xie Liushu discreetly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He felt fortunate that the red-scaled evil flood dragon had interrupted their conflict.

Otherwise…

Ji Ruyue trembled.

Staring at Jiang Fan’s seemingly frail body, she was filled with deep fear.

Helplessly, she said, “Big Senior Brother, I…”

Xie Liushu dared not protect her any longer.

He distanced himself from her, saying helplessly,

“You… must find a way to earn Junior Brother Jiang’s forgiveness.”

“Senior Brother can’t help you.”
