Chapter 660: Xiaolu’s Desperation

“Roar…”

With a domineering dragon’s roar, a fog dragon appeared in the distant sky. Its head alone was as large as a small city, and its body stretched and undulated over five hundred miles.

“What is that?” Many people stopped to watch. They had worked diligently their entire lives and had never seen such a phenomenon. In their astonishment, the fog dragon flipped, and a constant roar filled the sky, preceding its lightning-quick movement covering over a thousand miles.

This fog dragon was truly terrifying, with its left eye glowing with green light and its right eye glowing with purple light. The green and purple lights intertwined, searching the skies and earth for human voices.

A roar echoed from the sky, “Ah! Where are you? Where are the people? You can’t escape! Those who draw talismans love to buy this and that, collecting a whole bunch of things. This is your Achilles’ heel.”

Xiang Long Wang had flown over nearly half of the cities in the Extreme Huan Continent, frantically searching for people, his tyrannical demeanor unmatched.

At that moment, the owners of the largest mines and the head of the city’s regulatory office didn’t dare to stop him, knowing that confronting him now would lead to dire consequences.

Thus, he continued his search from one city to the next, disregarding the “order” constructed by the Extreme Radiance cultivators, controlling the fog dragon to call out, “You brat, come out! Kneel before me and offer your dragon blood. If you keep pretending to be mute, I will find you, destroy ten clans, and annihilate your soul.”

How ruthless! Starting with the destruction of ten clans was indeed vicious.

Just as Xiang Long Wang was about to locate Sanjiu City, Bai Xiaolu felt a deep sense of foreboding, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was shifting beneath her.

“Boom, boom, boom…” The thunder roared around the fog dragon, as its head approached Sanjiu City while the dragon’s tail remained at a higher city. Xiang Long Wang sensed something and suddenly swung the dragon’s body and tail, spiraling around Sanjiu City.

“The aura of this city feels wrong; there has been a recent influx of Miao Jade into the black market, making the spiritual energy denser than in other cities. Plus, there’s a decrease in Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures; many people are keenly discussing potential buyers.”

“This is the place, this city! There’s no mistake.”

“Roar…” The fog dragon flipped, and black mist piled up in the sky. Then, this black mist surged down like a waterfall, resembling a stampede, causing pedestrians in the streets to flee in panic.

The wind howled as Sanjiu City was suddenly engulfed in darkness, with clouds rolling ominously overhead, and fog thickening within the city, revealing glimpses of countless spirits appearing.

This was a sinister secret technique, rarely practiced, stemming not from Xiang Long Wang himself but from a heart he controlled, allowing him to manipulate countless phantoms to swiftly hunt for the information he desired amidst the clouds and mist.

“Thud, thud…”

Many miners collapsed on the ground, their faces pale and limbs convulsing, with less air flowing in and more flowing out. Most were beyond saving.

The owner of the largest mine in Sanjiu City shouted, “You are being far too reckless on the Extreme Huan Continent. If we can suppress those Departed Immortals, we can surely suppress you.”

“Hahaha, suppress me? I have ways to influence the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Formation. At that time, the Dark Immortals will undoubtedly seize the opportunity to bring suffering to the living of the Extreme Huan. Speak again, and I will unleash my wrath on you.”

“You…” The owner of the largest mine felt the weight of his words; although the Extreme Huan Continent had its weaknesses, those powerful cultivators who gradually uncovered the ways of this world were indeed able to act lawlessly.

Xiang Long Wang was well aware of the operational rules of the Extreme Huan Continent and knew where the Extreme Radiance cultivators would be. Those capable of restraining him only cared about the catastrophic upheaval of heaven and earth or an invasion from the Demonic Essence World and wouldn’t meddle in the affairs of external cultivators.

The mist danced enchantingly, and the phantoms brought forth message after message. Xiang Long Wang shouted, “You dare to provoke me and haven’t run away? You’re still in this city, thinking you can hide deeply enough that I can’t do anything to you? Hmph, ignorant fool, that rare true dragon blood belongs to me, mine, mine…”

Thinking of his prized possession in someone else’s hands drove Xiang Long Wang even more insane, wanting nothing more than to slaughter this city.

“Come out…”

Suddenly, the fog dragon turned its head, open its mouth and laughed, “Hahaha, found you! It truly surprises me that you have settled down in the Extreme Huan Continent and married an ordinary woman. It seems she is just a cover, still maintaining her perfect body until today. In that case, let me help you appreciate her!”

The Dragon Claw thundered as it reached downwards.

Bai Xiaolu was in tears, feeling the tremendous force from afar making her unable to move. Though she believed her husband would come to save her, her mind was filled with thunderous flashes, and she vaguely sensed a terrifying thought creeping in, threatening to lead her to madness.

“Could it be that I really am a demoness reborn? Like a puppet, I approached my husband with ill intentions. What should I do? What should I do? My husband has treated me so well, even knowing I am a demoness reborn, his eyes still filled with tenderness. I don’t understand why Ouyang Xiao Yi would want to hurt my husband. If you want to cultivate, then just cultivate properly; why this entanglement?”

At this moment, facing a tremendous crisis, Bai Xiaolu unexpectedly remained calm.

Ripples appeared in her eyes, clashing with the terrifying thoughts expanding in her mind.

“Just die like this! Perhaps there will be regrets in my heart, but for the one I love, I will drag you down to hell with me. I was Li Hui’s wife, lived under the same roof, held his hand and strolled by Fragrant Lake, and we have an elegant courtyard here. That’s enough; I am already very satisfied.”

With a hum, Bai Xiaolu, determined to die, unleashed all her cultivation to charge against the pressure created by Xiang Long Wang. She did not want to add a burden to Li Hui; dying now was the best outcome!

Xiang Long Wang was somewhat moved. This woman was actually willing to die to protect that bastard who stole his true dragon blood?

“My little miss, what a pity it would be to die like this. Let me…” Before he could finish his words, a strange force emanated from Bai Xiaolu’s body, unexpectedly breaking free from the terrifying fog dragon’s grasp, transforming into a brilliant stream of light that surged forward.

“Eh? Impossible.” Xiang Long Wang was astonished.

In the foggy Sanjiu City, all vision was obscured until this brilliant stream of light appeared, allowing everyone to vaguely see its shimmering shape.

To their shock, after the stream of light surged and exploded, the massive dragon head was actually severed, flowing like ink through the air above.

“Who are you? Why do you possess such skill?”

“I…” Bai Xiaolu was unaware of her sudden might. Perhaps it confirmed her husband’s words: she truly was a demoness descended from heaven, viewing human life as grass, able to ruin mountains and rivers with a mere hand motion. If not, how could she explain severing such a large dragon head?

However, this was her last glimpse of Fragrant Lake and her home with her husband.

“Dying here is beautiful. Perhaps years later, my husband will return here to honor me.” Bai Xiaolu fell from the air, determined to drag the demoness down to hell with her; this was the only thing she could do for Li Hui.

“A sigh…” A voice sighed from somewhere, followed by uproarious laughter.

Li Hui caught Xiaolu and was still laughing, laughing maniacally, suddenly asking, “Are you awake? My partner, Ouyang Xiao Yi!”
