Chapter 246: The Sealed Giant Jiao

Ji Yu gritted his teeth and endured the reluctance in his heart. He tossed the talisman in his hand upwards, muttered a few phrases, then a red light flew out from his sleeve and disappeared into the talisman.

In an instant, the talisman made a humming sound, struggled in the air, then a beam of yellow light lit up and the entire space shook.

“What’s this?” A man behind Ji Yu asked.

Ji Yu didn’t answer his companion as he stared deeply at the talisman that the yellow light was growing from in the sky.

Lou Mu Yan felt an ancient and powerful aura coming from the Talisman, even with a hint of pressure, as if something was about to break out of a cocoon.

There was originally a dense layer of an intricate Seal on the Talisman, but now, after Ji Yu’s red light penetrated it, it gradually peeled off and the black runes became lighter and thinner, finally disappearing into the air as dust.

[BOOM BOOM!!] Several thunderous sounds rung in the sky, and the originally bright sky was covered with dark clouds.

A pressuring, fearful feeling instantly spread throughout the space.

The expressions of Si Nan and the others changed, “What is this thing?”

The aura emanating from this Talisman actually made them feel a sense of death, and their hearts couldn’t resist sinking. Even the people on Ji Yu’s side had a bad premonition.

“Ji Yu, what is this?”

Ji Yu also had an indescribable palpitation in his heart. He furrowed his brows as he said: “This is a high-level Talisman my maternal grandfather gave me. It’s said that killing Sword Masters beneath Sword Venerable is not a problem.”

The companions behind him endured the fear and revealed joy in their eyes. If Ji Yu’s Talisman could kill Si Nan and the others, then they wouldn’t have to fight to death or be seriously injured.

Although the number of people on the other side wasn’t as much as theirs, but after only fighting for a while, more than half of the people on their side had already been injured or killed.

[ROAR!!]

A startling roar resounded throughout the sky, then a huge yellow gigantic thing broke the seal of the Talisman and slipped out.

“Tier 9 Earth-type Jiao Dragon Soul, everyone be careful!” Luo Ye immediately identified what was above his head and he hurriedly led everyone back a distance.

That Jiao Dragon had been sealed for countless years, and this time, having been freed from the Talisman, it raised its head and happily roared a few times.

The Jiao had four sharp claws beneath its body and two raised bumps on its head. It was possible that if he hadn’t died back then and became a Demonic Spirit, then he would probably have already soared up and transformed into a Dragon.

Jiao Dragon – A snake-like being with no horns but can evolve into a dragon eventually (couldn’t find a Jiao image with the same description XD)

“You are the one that let me out?” The yellowish-brown giant Jiao squinted at Ji Yu below, scanning him with no evident emotions.

Ji Yu didn’t expect that a Tier 9 Jiao Dragon Demonic Soul was actually sealed in the Talisman. No wonder his paternal grandfather told him to use it carefully. It was indeed true that it could kill Sword Masters under Sword Venerable.

“It was indeed done by this Junior.” Ji Yu’s attitude was quite sincere. After all, although the other party was a Soul that was freed from the Talisman by him, but with its strength, it was only normal for him to address him as Senior.

The Jiao Dragon shook its body, and a wicked look flashed across its eyes. Then it laughed loudly: “Good! Very good!”

Ji Yu’s heart was overjoyed, but he didn’t reveal it on his face. Just as he was thinking about how to use the giant Jiao Dragon to kill Lou Mu Yan and the others, an icy aura suddenly approached.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw the huge head of the giant Jiao press downwards heavily. Just as he wanted to speak, the huge Jiao opposite suddenly opened its huge mouth and sucked him right in.

It was only a few breaths of time from when the Jiao Dragon spoke to when Ji Yu was sucked in, and no one could understand what was going on.

Wasn’t it Ji Yu who released this Jiao Dragon? Why was the first person to be eaten actually Ji Yu?

This was the truest portrayal of what everyone thought, including Lou Mu Yan.

“AH! Why—You actually dared to kill your Owner.” Half of Ji Yu’s body was swallowed by the giant Jiao, and his weak voice came from the Jiao’s body. He couldn’t understand and died without understanding.

The Jiao Dragon snorted coldly and swallowed Ji Yu in one gulp, “You carry that stinky old man’s aura, so you must be his bloodline. When he killed me and sealed me that year, I swore in my heart to destroy him and his descendants. Today, I will first use you as commemoration.”

“You…” Ji Yu’s voice was so soft that it was no longer audible. He had probably already turned into the Demonic Soul’s food.

The faces of those together with Ji Yu changed drastically and they fled in all directions without anyone’s order.

This Jiao Dragon even killed its own Owner, so it was even easier to kill them.

Watching the constantly fleeing crowd, the Jiao Dragon’s eyes revealed slight contempt. This was how these humans were—timid and afraid of death, yet also insidious and cunning.

He shook his entire Jiao body and sucked a few times in the direction of those that had escaped. The Sword Masters who were fleeing all landed in his mouth.

Although the Jiao Dragon was a Demonic Spirit, but it could devour human cultivators to replenish his True Energy. After all, after being sealed for so long, his Soul Energy was also very weak.

“Mo Yan, what should we do?” Lou Mu Yan looked at the Jiao Dragon not far away with fear. This was a genuine Tier 9 Demonic Soul. Even if he was currently weak, they still weren’t his opponents.

Mo Yan’s deep and serene eyes not only didn’t show any worry, but instead, a gleam of sharp light flashed past, “This Jiao Dragon’s Demonic Soul is a great nourishment.”

If he could devour it and refine it, his cultivation base would definitely recover a lot.

Lou Mu Yan couldn’t resist twitching the corners of her lips. A Tier 9 Demonic Soul must definitely be nourishing! But as nourishing as it was, one could only look at it. Unless one could actually catch it and eat it?

“Do you have a solution?” Lou Mu Yan saw that his black eyes were bright, so she pressed her glossy lips together and asked.

Mo Yan pondered for a moment, then said: “You lead him to a place where there’s no one. I naturally have a way to deal with him.”

Lou Mu Yan still believed in Mo Yan very much. After seeing the Jiao Dragon’s Demonic Soul swallow Ji Yu’s group, it revealed an unsatisfied look as if wanting to continue, casting its gaze on them.

Being stared at by a chilling gaze, Si Nan and the others couldn’t help but feel as if they weren’t able to resist it.

This was the gaze of a hunter staring at their prey, and everyone smiled bitterly inwardly. Who would’ve known that they were the ones hunting Demonic Beasts recently, only to become delicious food in the eyes of a Demonic Beast right now.

“The strength is barely enough for me to recover a layer of power. Unlucky.” The Jiao Dragon looked at Luo Ye and the others with disgust, as if he had already regarded them as food he was about to consume.

Si Nan and the others had deep creases on their foreheads—if you feel we’re unlucky and disgusting, then don’t eat us!

Lou Mu Yan caught the heat in the Jiao Dragon’s eyes. Even if he disliked them, he would still not let them go.

“Let’s go all out!” Si Nan also found the killing intent in the Jiao Dragon’s eyes. He endured his numb scalp and said to everyone: “Either he dies, or we die, let’s go all out!”

Luo Ye also thought so inwardly, “Alright!”

The others also didn’t want to die just like this, so they all took out their weapons and channelled their Elemental Energy into them, swinging towards the yellow-brown giant Jiao Dragon in mid-air.

Colourful sword lights gathered together to form a giant axe, combining the power of all the Sword Masters present, slashing down towards the Jiao Dragon’s head heavily.

The Jiao Dragon’s eyes revealed a bit of playfulness and said in the human language: “Overrating your abilities!”

Then he raised his tail and swept heavily—and the mighty axe was actually easily defeated.

“PU!!” Luo Ye, Si Nan, and the other high-level Sword Monarchs were all blown back and vomited blood.

In just one move from the giant Jiao, it had given them a deep lesson, which also indicated that their lives might not be guaranteed.

They were not reconciled, but there was nothing they could do. What could they do when they were inferior in strength to the huge Jiao.

Just when everyone was in despair, Lou Mu Yan took out a Profound Ice Jade Box from her interspatial ring, opened it and closed it to the Jiao Dragon, then said provocatively: “Follow if you want it!”

After speaking, she turned around and flew towards the distant dense forest without looking back and disappeared instantly.

The Jiao Dragon’s eyes revealed a trace of madness and greed. He roared, ignored Si Nan and the others completely, and chased in Lou Mu Yan’s direction.
