Chapter 1166: Dragonslayer
“This slash… I… I do not yield The ferocious dragon lay defeated and broken. Blood drops stemming from the wounds could crush dimensions.
“Boom! Boom!” Suddenly, it split into thousands of pieces.
This was due to a single slash. Just how sharp and swift was it?
Blood stained space while a flood of saint energy ravaged all four directions. Nonetheless, the soul of the dragon remained.
He roared and tried to condense his dao laws and body again.
“Perish.” Shui Yueting chanted while her eyes erupted with light, declaring a death sentence.
Two sword intents flew out of her eyes, reducing the dragon to a bloody mist.
“I am a sacred ancestor of the dragon race, I cannot be killed!” The soul remained powerful and assumed a dragon form once more, fleeing toward the distance.
“You were destined to die the moment you set foot in Aquamoon.” Shui Yueting raised her jade hand, manifesting a palm of energy to crush the dragon again from ten million miles away.
Dragon slaying only happened during Time Immemorial. In the present day, few could kill a dragon, let alone a sacred ancestor.
Moreover, a fight between saints rarely happened unless it was an existential conflict between two races. Saints rarely showed up in the outside world. In fact, pseudo-saints often had never seen an actual saint in their life.
“Raa! Evil human, you dare to kill a dragon saint?!”
“Anyone who harms humans deserves death, dragons and phoenixes included.” Shui Yueting slashed again.
“Then I’ll bring you all down with me!” The dragon bellowed in pain before releasing a chilling energy toward Aquamoon.
Aware of his defeat, he wanted to use his final power to destroy Aquamoon and all of its inhabitants.
Feiyun stood next to Di Zhong and saw the incoming draconic energy. His eyes turned cold as he prepared to use Di Zhong’s power to stop the final attack.
“Rumble!” The draconic energy drew closer, crushing all the dimensions and realms along the way.
A chaotic expanse appeared before Feiyun who raised one finger in that direction. Di Zhong did the same.
However, the draconic energy suddenly disappeared, replaced by a flawless hand with long, slender fingers. This was the finest work of creation itself.
His finger nearly touched the hand.
“Whoosh!” Shui Yueting pulled back and spread her palm, revealing the captured draconic energy around the size of a thumb.
It condensed together and turned into a miniature Long Jie.

Meanwhile, Feiyun pulled back his hand and felt complicated. He nearly touched that hand but it was unreachable now.

“This is my final soul strand, you dare to kill me?” Long Jie asked.
“Who is Heavendao?” Shui Yueting asked.
His expression changed, and he sighed before speaking: “Destroy me.”
Shui Yueting closed her palm and destroyed it without any hesitation. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to garner an answer from him.
She glanced in the direction of Feiyun for a split second before focusing on something else - swinging her blade toward the void and seemingly splitting the world into two halves.
A bone-biting chill came out of the gap. This was a massive skeleton with a nefarious aura.
Shui Yueting looked like a tiny spark of light in comparison.
“Deity, do not be alarmed. I am only here for Long Jie’s body, please grant it to me. I will exchange an equivalent medicine for it.” The skeleton said hoarsely before extending a hand spanning thousands of miles for the dragon’s remains.
“Governess Sovereign, why should I give you this corpse?” Shui Yueting swung her sword to stop the hand.
Governess stopped and said: “Long Jie deserved to die for his transgressions but his corpse shouldn’t be brought back to the dragon cemetery, that would be a waste. I have better use for it and since I have no descendants and sect, I don’t mind offending the dragons.”
In history, a few cultivators were bold enough to slay dragons. As long as it didn’t pertain to the pride of the dragons, the race wouldn’t avenge the fallen.
However, all corpses must be brought back to their cemetery. Using the corpse for weapon and pill refinement was unacceptable.
“Boom!” Suddenly, more skeletons appeared with divine chains made from the dao.
They came out of nowhere and surprised even the spectating pseudo-saints.
“I knew you were not here for the corpse.” Yueting said and controlled her sword to cut down the chains.
“Hehe, that’s not true. I want both the corpse and your life!” Nether flames could be seen in the eye sockets of Governess, shrouding a boy and girl around five years of age.
“So you’re one of the three saints who came to kill me.” Yueting said.
Governess didn’t answer and continued the attack.
“Corpse Citadel!” A city made out of bones flew out of her ribcage, exuding the aura of hell. All four corners of the city had the corpse of a saint, seemingly serving as the wall.
Governess had spent years searching cemeteries and tombs for these corpses, not to mention gathering the perfect materials to create this city.
“Damn it, a saintess, I think it’s the legendary earthwalker, Governess Sovereign!” A pseudo-saint from the human race said.
Many beings lived underground - this saintess was one of the strongest.
“The deity had just fought against Long Jie, her energy might be depleted.”
“She will be victorious!”
“The sovereign has never lost either
Humans became anxious again. A battle of the saint level was fatal - any little detail could decide the outcome.
Their deity was at a clear disadvantage, having used many slashes to kill Long Jie.
“Boom!” A golden radiance created a spatial hole large enough for a three-legged golden crow to appear. Its saint aura destroyed many of the dimensions nearby.
“Shaman Crow, you’re here to fight too?” Shui Yueting glanced at the gigantic golden crow.
This was a sacred ancestor who had lived for a hundred thousand years.
“I am here for Immortal Refiner but it looks like you want to fight me, I’ll oblige.” The golden crow took Immortal Refiner and immediately attacked.
“So you’re another of the three. Who is the last then? Come out and fight.” Yueting landed on Governess’ head; her aura intensified as she stomped down and broke a hole through the skull.
Yin energy immediately gushed out from the opening.
