Chapter 861 - 860: Shoot to Kill
The skies above Jizhou City amassed more and more figures, with each newcomer being at least a rank eight powerhouse, either an Earth Immortal or a Demon Earth Immortal. Eventually, Yusuf Zuck even spotted a Giant Eagle with a wingspan of several hundred zhang and heard the roars of bulls and tigers, among other sounds.
This was a real gathering of the mighty, when, on this very day and at the same moment, supreme beings from the four wild wastelands and the five continents all converged here, right above Jizhou City, above the Zhou family residence.
It was commonly said that humans and demons were incompatible, mortal enemies, but at this moment, Yusuf Zuck found that many Human Cultivators were greeting the Demon Earth Immortals with clasped hands, exchanging pleasantries, some laughing heartily, and others whispering covertly among themselves.
This scene was simply beyond belief.
Yet, it was happening right before his eyes—the strongest among humans and demons were coexisting peacefully!
In Capital City, Edmond Frost flickered, and after the earth trembled thrice, the old dragon that guarded the city finally emerged. Transformed into an Azure Dragon, its massive body meandered through the skies like a dream, swiftly arriving above Jizhou City.
The visiting Demon Earth Immortals and Earth Immortals turned around to behold the imposing, crafty giant dragon.
With a swish, Yusuf Zuck took advantage of the moment when everyone’s gaze was fixed on the old dragon to step forward into the air; he then soared up high, coming face-to-face with the crowd.
Dean Austin resumed his human form, still appearing as a middle-aged cultivator. But now he greeted everyone with a beaming smile and clasped hands, looking around as he said, "Esteemed colleagues from all corners of the world, I apologize for not coming out to greet you sooner upon your arrival at the Central Continent. My negligence is truly inexcusable!"
"There’s no need for formality, Brother Ao. We pay our respects to you!" Everyone returned the gesture. Even though Dean Austin might not have reached the twelfth level in strength, he was a dragon—the leader of all demons in the world and part of the pure-blooded Lopez Clan. Moreover, his dragon ancestors belonged to the legendary Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Clan.
