Chapter 107 - 106: Crossing Refining
Although Tie Dan had neither herded dragons nor raised flood dragons, he knew these beasts wouldn’t attack cities, flood lands, or breathe fire on people for no reason.
That’s not to say they never would, but mostly they wouldn’t dare. The Demon Palace might not care about the dragons and tigers they raise eating a few unruly people now, but during the era of the Ancient Immortal Palace, there was a special Dragon Cutting Platform. Any creature daring to cause chaos in the world would have long since been obliterated by the Immortal Venerable, skinned, tendons plucked, and grilled on skewers.
Nevertheless, Dragon Seeds are still Dragon Seeds. Even in the era of the Ancient Demon Clan, they were the pinnacle of flesh evolution, with physical standards far surpassing humans, limitless potential, and inherently violent tendencies—lustful, bloodthirsty. They may go on a rampage at any time, in any place, creating a sea of blood. This is the nature of the beast, written in their bones, unchangeable.
Thus, ever since the Immortal Venerable established dominion, any sightings of wild flood dragon subspecies were almost always followed by killing them. Even the Demon Palace’s Dragon Herding Department raises their own from birth to death, constantly binding, nailing, and locking them tightly. They are strictly controlled, and killed at a certain age to prevent them from growing beyond control.
This ten-zhang-long giant flood dragon should have been killed according to the rules of the Demon Palace, dissected and shared. If it were a wild demon attaining the Dao in Genzhou, a bustling area of the Central Plains where immortals and mortals cohabit, it would have been dead long ago. Who knows who raised and fed it to such a size that it became capable of besieging cities and conquering lands.
Indeed, a beast’s nature is to seek profits and avoid harm, and it wouldn’t dare approach a fortified state mansion unless out of its mind. But this creature not only dared to show itself but also attacked the city, killed people, and clearly displayed intelligence, searching for targets, undoubtedly under someone’s command.
Moreover, Tie Dan had distinctly felt locked by a Divine Sense just now, and the wicked dragon then swooped down and sprayed. There’s a seventy percent chance this creature is here for him. As for who the enemy is, it doesn’t matter; he had offended many people anyway. Killing is all that matters.
Hmm, this thing is so big, can breathe fire and fly. There’s no escaping its claws on foot, so I might as well just kill it.
Tie Dan hid at the bottom of the river, concealing his presence with a door panel. He opened his mouth and exhaled a white light, releasing the Taibai Sword Embryo.
The sword embryo sliced through the waves like a silver fish, breaking through the water and stealthily ascending the city walls.
