Slaying the Qiang River Dragon King

Jiang Yuechu hovered in the water, her ink-black clothes looking especially eerie beneath the corpse-pale glow of the pearl.

She stuck out her tongue and licked the flood dragon blood left on her fingertips.

It was salty, rank, and hot.

But once she swallowed it, the Blood Sustenance Art within her began to churn like a ravenous beast.

"Not bad."

"You've gone too far! Far too far!!!"

The White Flood Dragon roared, shaking the entire riverbed.

Countless undercurrents were dragged toward it and gathered at its side.

A hundred zhang beneath the surface, with the Dragon Pearl at its command, it was invincible!

The surrounding water instantly became blades.

Dense as a swarm, they blotted out everything.

Every route of escape Jiang Yuechu had was sealed!

Each water blade carried enough force to cleave gold and shatter jade.

"Die!!!"

The White Flood Dragon roared with spite and sent the skyful of water blades whirling toward Jiang Yuechu!

And yet.

Faced with this inescapable killing blow, Jiang Yuechu showed not the slightest trace of panic.

In the next instant.

Jiang Yuechu raised a hand toward the oncoming blades and closed her fingers around empty water.

Hum—!

The blades, surging toward her with such ferocity, all stopped three feet short of her!

"???"

The White Flood Dragon's lone eye filled with confusion.

How was that possible?!

This was its innate Divine Ability, wielded through the Dragon Pearl!

Within the Qiang River, who but another member of the White Flood Dragon Clan could wrest control of the water from it?!

This girl... What gave her the right?!

Jiang Yuechu turned her wrist and gave a gentle push.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

The skyful of water blades instantly switched sides, turned their edges around, and shot back at the White Flood Dragon even faster
