In a shadowy corner of the city stood a black-robed young man carrying a longsword on his back. His brows were tightly furrowed as he stared at the Silver-haired Girl, the center of attention throughout the city.

"Who is this girl? How have I never heard of her?"

The Dragon Demon Palace had specifically gathered intelligence on the Three Heavens Realm experts of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's Heavenly Ranking.

He knew especially well those ranked near the top of the Heavenly Ranking, such as Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantu, Su Xuan, and He Yao.

Shen Cangsheng in particular had been following on his heels lately, and he had no idea what he wanted.

Did Shen Cangsheng truly only want his head?

Demon Dragon Son's target was not Shen Cangsheng.

He wanted to kill the other top ten members of the Heavenly Ranking, such as Li Xuantu, Su Xuan, and He Yao.

Unfortunately, he had no opportunity.

Those targets were all hiding within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Since he had no chance to strike, Demon Dragon Son could only come to White Dragon Hill.

He had come to urge Bai Xuan, the lord of White Dragon City, to finish searching for the White Dragon Supreme Legacy as soon as possible.

Once that was done, his status within the Dragon Demon Palace would rise accordingly.

With resources being funneled toward him, Demon Dragon Son would soon be able to enter the Heaven-reaching Realm.

Once he reached the Heaven-reaching Realm, Demon Dragon Son would become the Dragon Demon Palace's second young elder.

At that time, he could challenge Mo Xingtian and become the strongest prodigy of the Dragon Demon Palace!

"Although I can't figure out your background, I have no interest in avenging Bai Xuan either."

Demon Dragon Son stared fixedly at Luo Li, then shifted his gaze to the cold and glamorous woman in red, An Ran.

"However, if I let the Palace Master's Supreme avatar remain lost outside, I'll definitely be punished."

The Dragon Demon Palace's punishments were no less dreadful than the torments of hell.

Even Demon Dragon Son could not help shuddering.

"If you have someone to blame, blame your bad luck."

A vicious glint flashed through Demon Dragon Son's eyes as he looked at An Ran.

You had just become Luo God City's deputy city lord. Feeling pleased, weren't you?

But in the next moment, you would be crying.

He vanished in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already nearby.

He was only one meter away from his target, An Ran.

"Demon Dragon Son, I've been waiting for you!"

Yet the scene of him directly seizing An Ran as a hostage never occurred.

The Silver-haired Girl, Luo Li, instantly unleashed countless streams of sword qi, forming a Myriad Sword Prison that trapped Demon Dragon Son within.

What appeared to be a distance of one meter was actually as far apart as the ends of the earth.

"Oh?"

Demon Dragon Son was somewhat stunned. He had actually been set up!

He looked at An Ran, then at Luo Li.

So these two women had been targeting him all along.

Demon Dragon Son was second on the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's Bounty Ranking. Even Shen Cangsheng, first on the Heavenly Ranking, wanted his head.

He truly had not expected that Demon Dragon Son would one day fall into the hands of women.

"Demon Dragon Son, you have this day too."

An Ran was furious. The other party had clearly come for her.

If he had caught her, her fate would certainly have been miserable.

It was said that Demon Dragon Son had a rather distinctive way of killing people.

He would cut off their heads and place them atop their corpses.

Then he would stick three bloodstained incense sticks into their heads.

He would not light them. He merely stuck them in for fun.

No one knew how many Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy students had died at Demon Dragon Son's hands.

The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had wanted to kill Demon Dragon Son for a long time, yet they had never succeeded.

Not even Shen Cangsheng, first on the Heavenly Ranking, had managed it.

But now, they had done it!

"You think this means I have no way out?"

Demon Dragon Son swept his gaze around with great interest at the sword qi prison, capable of easily grinding countless mid-stage Transforming Heaven Realm experts like Bai Xuan to death.

He was neither afraid nor fearful.

His calm demeanor only made An Ran angrier.

Of course, she was nervous as well.

Don't let Demon Dragon Son escape.

If he got away, they would have to worry about his retaliation every day and night!

Even if he did not retaliate against them, they would still have to worry that innocent people might be slaughtered by him.

"Bai Xuan deserved to die."

Ignoring An Ran's furious glare, Demon Dragon Son looked at Luo Li and continued,

"As long as you give me Bai Xuan's Qiankun Bag, I can consider sparing your lives."

The moment he said something so astonishing, An Ran was left speechless.

Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought the two of them were the ones imprisoned.

Could he really act like this?

"Playing with swords in front of me—isn't that rather amusing?"

Demon Dragon Son raised his right hand, and a faint black light flickered upon it.

The black demonic dragon mark between his brows gradually became more sinister.

"When it comes to the sword, you're no match for me."

Luo Li remained utterly calm.

Perhaps in Demon Dragon Son's eyes, he was sufficiently unrivaled in the field of swordsmanship.

Even Mo Xingtian could not compare with him.

But in her eyes, it was simply laughable.

As for his demand for Bai Xuan's Qiankun Bag, there was likely something inside that the Dragon Demon Palace had to retrieve.

Luo Li would have time to investigate that later.

For now, killing Demon Dragon Son and carrying his head back to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was the important matter.

"Is that so?"

Demon Dragon Son's tone turned colder as black light shot from his hand.

Countless black streams of sword qi collided madly with Luo Li's icy-blue sword qi prison.

The piercing sounds of collision were exceptionally irritating.

"Heh, I truly underestimated you."

Seeing that the sword qi prison remained as immovable as a mountain and that his resistance had achieved nothing, Demon Dragon Son felt a bad premonition rise in his heart.

There was something wrong with this Silver-haired Girl.

In terms of strength, she was likely even stronger than Shen Cangsheng.

The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had such a ruthless figure, yet the Dragon Demon Palace knew nothing about her!

That was an enormous oversight!

Demon Dragon Son snorted coldly and gripped the hilt of the longsword on his back with his right hand.

Screech!

In an instant, soaring sword qi accompanied by a sword cry like a dragon's roar slammed fiercely into the sword qi prison.

The previously stable sword qi prison was actually struck with a crack.

Luo Li's eyes narrowed slightly. The sword in his hand was not simple.

"My Dragon Scale Sword was something even Shen Cangsheng was not qualified to make me use lightly."

Demon Dragon Son drew the longsword, which seemed to be made from layer upon layer of dragon scales, and a curve rose at the corner of his lips.

His aura became extraordinarily powerful in an instant.

In terms of strength, he had already come infinitely close to the Heaven-reaching Realm.

It was no exaggeration to say that as long as no Heaven-reaching Realm expert appeared, he was already invincible!

Even if Shen Cangsheng came, Demon Dragon Son would remain undefeated.

Even against an ordinary Heaven-reaching Realm expert, he could still fight on equal footing.

At the very least, his life would not be in danger!

This was the peerless prodigy of the Dragon Demon Palace!

Even the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy could not find many geniuses capable of rivaling him.

Dragon Scale Sword Art, Dragon Slaying!

Without any hesitation, Demon Dragon Son slashed down with his sword.

In an instant, powerful sword qi transformed into a roaring dragon phantom that crazily tore at the sword qi prison.

At a visible pace, the cracks in the sword qi prison became increasingly apparent.

Finally, with a crack, the sword qi prison collapsed!

"Since I can't obtain Bai Xuan's Qiankun Bag today, I'll return next time!"

After sensing Luo Li's strangeness, Demon Dragon Son had no intention of lingering here any longer.

He knew very well that even if she discovered the Supreme avatar of the Black Dragon Supreme, she would not dare touch it.

Once it was triggered and the Supreme avatar awakened,

she would face the devastating power of a mighty Supreme!

No matter how arrogant Demon Dragon Son was, he would not dare act recklessly before a Supreme!

"No next time."

Luo Li moved.

The Luo God Sword slashed down, instantly shattering his sword qi.

Then, beneath Demon Dragon Son's shocked gaze, her sword cleaved apart the Dragon Scale Sword he regarded as a supreme treasure!

"I want your head!"
