Chapter 117 - 118: Not Just for Free
“Little Qingzhuo, take care of the ones ahead.” Zhu Minglang once again called upon the Divine Green Holy Dragon.
The Divine Green Holy Dragon gleamed with a vibrant teal light. Having drunk the Yinsu Sacred Dew, its feathers were even more resplendent, and its vertical pupils became deeper and more spirited.
When it appeared in this leafy forest, its gaze swept over those fallen leaves as if the nature spirits had endowed these plants with true life itself.
Soon, the tall trees seemed to come alive.
They twisted their thick trunks, like the waists of humans.
They waved their slender branches, like nimble arms.
Their roots rose from the soil, transforming into gigantic feet, and they stepped towards the Dragon Beasts of the villains, one by one!
Tree spirits!
The Divine Green Holy Dragon had turned the trees of this forest into tree spirit guards. They swung their arms and sent those robust Dragon Beasts flying, leaving them bloodied.
The Dragon Beasts summoned by the bald brothers were Earth Cavity Dragons, adept at burrowing through the ground. Yet the tree spirit guards yanked them out from the soil, batting them around like rolling balls.
The other Dragon Beasts panicked, trying to scatter, but were quickly entangled by the tree spirit guards, rendered utterly immobile.
The branches, flexible as iron whips, lashed mercilessly upon the skin of the Dragon Beasts. Over a dozen towering tree spirit guards beat them until their skin split and their flesh blurred with blood!
The merchants, now evildoers, turned pale with fear, trembling uncontrollably. After all, there were a dozen or twenty of them; each could summon at least one dragon, and their leader was a general-level figure…
But in front of the opponent’s Lei Cang Violent Dragon and the Divine Green Holy Dragon, they were like children being disciplined by a tutor wielding a ruler, with absolutely no power to fight back.
“Greedy for wealth and taking lives, your hands are stained with the blood of many, aren’t they? I’ll send you all on your way together, hoping you’ll reflect properly on the Netherworld Road. With those brains of yours, you’d better conduct honest business in your next life,” Zhu Minglang said to the group of evildoers.
There was no mercy in his heart. Zhu Minglang knew exactly what kind of scum these people were. He issued the execution order, and soon Big Black Tooth and Little Qingzhuo began their dragon slaying and people killing…
The merchant villains, realizing the immense disparity in strength and trying to flee, were all driven back by the tree spirit guards. It wasn’t long before some of them were torn apart and dismembered by the powerful tree spirit guards.
Their dismembered bodies were stomped into the soil by the gigantic feet of the tree spirit guards, including the corpses of the Dragon Beasts, which were also twisted into the ground by the roots, likely to soon become fertile manure for the fallen trees to absorb!
“Spare… Spare our lives! The bald brothers burst into tears and snot.
The Power of God and Mortality demonstrated by Nan Lingsha was not overly fancy; these two had reckoned that their opponent was just a general-level God and Mortal. So they had gathered so many brothers, determined to retrieve the star crystal fragments and capture the detestable woman.
Little did they know that the Dragon Shepherd accompanying the woman was so ridiculously strong. Two dragons swept away all of them!
The tone was the same, but this time they would no longer have a chance. Two tree spirit guards stood behind them, one of which was strangling the bald brother’s Earth Cavity Dragon with its roots. They stood like executioners, towering behind these two insignificant humans.
“Bang!!!
“Bang!!! !
Raising their root-like feet, the tree spirit guards stomped down on the brothers as if squashing two maggots, crushing them into the soil, flattening them, shattering their bones, leaving their faces unrecognizable!
“Spare our lives, spare our lives, we will hand over all the valuables,” cried the man who sold the Soul Beads, full of regret now. Why had he been greedy for that Spirit Leaf Soul Bead? If he had sold it, so be it, but now his very life was at stake.
Soon there were others, like the man who sold the Soul Beads, handing over their prized possessions.
However, Zhu Minglang wasn’t so kind-hearted. He wanted everything, and he wouldn’t spare a single life.
To let these scum live another day in this world meant the potential loss of more innocent lives.
“Kill them all,” Zhu Minglang said.
The Tree Spirit Guards began their massacre, and the Black Azure Violent Dragon used its Thunderclaw to tear a general-level Blood Sickle Dragon into two. Zhu Minglang simply started the Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing during the battle…
Unfortunately, the Soul Beads of these Dragon Shepherds and Dragon Beasts weren’t of the best quality. Collecting them to sell in bulk could fetch a few hundred gold without an issue.
Of course, these villains actually carried more valuable things, considering they had done more than just their own deal throughout the entire day.
Zhu Minglang had been quite strapped for cash recently, and he had spent a lot on supplies during the day. Now, these eager citizens of the City of Sin not only returned his money in full but also spat out all the treasures they carried…
Without spending a dime, he made a huge profit!
Just the Soul Bead of the Corpse Tyrant Dragon could sell for a thousand gold.
Luckily, with the help of the Tree Spirit Guards, they quickly presented all valuable items from beneath the soil, saving Zhu Minglang the trouble of scavenging them himself.
All valuables were entrusted to Little White’s Universe Magic for safekeeping. The chaos of the battlefield was also tidied up by the Tree Spirit Guards, and with plenty of Holy Dew to replenish the mana of the Divine Green Holy Dragon, they weren’t short on time…
“Hmph, sly villains, they’ve harmed so many lives for mere money!” Under the moonlight, several proud figures appeared on a small hill in front at some unnoticed point.
These individuals wore long robes and had their hair tied up high. The bright moonlight shone on their upright figures and illuminated the gleaming swords in their hands!
Those carrying swords…
And they were all sword bearers!
Although most soldiers on the battlefield also wielded swords, these few were quite different from the ordinary martial folks; one could sense an aura of cultivators that transcended the ordinary world!
“Disciples of the Yaoshan Sword Sect?” Zhu Minglang was all too familiar with their attire.
“Their attire is quite similar to that air-walking woman who appeared in Ancestral Dragon City,” murmured Fang Niannian.
Nan Lingsha stood by, looking curiously at this group of God and Mortal cultivators.
After all, on the continent of Li Chuan, God and Mortal cultivators were very rare, but here on the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, they seemed not so uncommon; they could be seen in every major city, city-state, and nation’s capital.
“My fellow disciples…” Zhu Minglang had hardly started to speak when he was interrupted by the other party.
“Scum of humanity, we advise you to surrender. We will not tolerate you villains from the City of Sin bringing havoc upon the world!” The man with his hair tied up spoke loudly at this moment.
