Defeated and Made to Submit to Luozhen
Without the support of the water veins, River Fallen Dragon instantly lost all his reliance.
His bloodline was not pure to begin with, and most of his cultivation was tied to the water. Now that the water has dried up and the water veins have been severed, his massive body appears extremely clumsy on the cracked, scorched earth.
The thick, rough scales became dry and brittle due to lack of water, and the creature lost most of its strength to move around.
He looked at the Fire Dragon in mid-air, its body enveloped in blazing dragon flames. The majestic pressure of the True Dragon pressed down on his soul without any hindrance. The innate suppression in his bloodline made his scales tremble all over.
"You... how dare you..." The Alligator Dragon's voice trembled violently as it tried to make a final counterattack, spitting out the remaining cold water. But the water vapor was instantly evaporated by the dragon flames as soon as it left its mouth, leaving not a trace.
The Fire Dragon's golden vertical pupils held no emotion, only a cold arrogance that seemed to burn everything in its path.
With a flick of its massive tail, it pierced through the scorching air currents, and its five claws, imbued with the ultimate concentrated dragon flame, crashed down like a bolt of crimson lightning, one claw slamming fiercely onto the Alligator Dragon's head.
With a muffled "poof," the Alligator Dragon's broken horn was instantly melted by the heat, and its thick, rough scales shattered and peeled off layer by layer. The all-pervasive dragon flames seeped into his meridians through the wounds, sealing off his cultivation and scorching his soul.
The Alligator Dragon let out an extremely shrill scream as its massive body slammed heavily onto the cracked, scorched earth, unable to move any further. It could only watch helplessly as the dragon flames surrounding it completely trapped it, without even a chance to escape underground.
Beneath this scorched earth, the Fire Dragon's flames had already permeated the earth, leaving nowhere to hide or escape.
The raging flames slowly subsided, leaving only scorched earth in the Azure Jiao Marsh, completely devoid of any trace of its former glory.
True Dragon soared in the sky, its crimson-gold scales gleaming in the setting sun.
He looked at the Alligator Dragon lying motionless on the scorched earth and said, "Hmph, a mere Fallen Dragon dares to challenge True Dragon? How overconfident!"
The Alligator Dragon closed its eyes and did not respond.
The victor is king, the loser is villain; it has lost now, so there's nothing more to say.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the young master's request to spare your life, I would have sent you to the Yellow Springs with a single claw."
The Fire Dragon left behind a sentence, then shook its head and wagged its tail as it swam towards the Extreme Crossing Boat.
His body gradually shrank until it returned to its previous size, resembling a snake.
"Young master, as you instructed, we have successfully spared his life!" The Fire Dragon flew to Li Yunjing and said to Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "Not bad. I was worried about you, but I didn't expect you to be able to handle that Alligator Dragon on your own."
Xie Zheng also came over at this moment.
"That's right, you were really suppressed by that Alligator Dragon at the beginning, I was worried for you."
Upon hearing this, the Fire Dragon laughed and said, "I am, after all, a True Dragon, not comparable to that Fallen Dragon."
This time, I fought that Fallen Dragon alone in order to unleash my own potential.
Having been in the Mysterious Female Dao Realm for too long, I have been severely suppressed by the Mysterious Female Dao Realm Principle, preventing me from fully realizing the potential of my True Dragon bloodline.
Fortunately, this opportunity allowed my True Dragon bloodline to unleash its potential, enabling me to suppress the Fallen Dragon and successfully defeat him.
Li Yunjing nodded. "Yes, as long as there's something to gain."
After speaking, Li Yunjing looked at the Alligator Dragon lying on the scorched earth.
At this moment, a number of Demon Beast had gathered around the Alligator Dragon.
There are crab demons, shrimp demons, turtle demons, fish demons...
There are many kinds, and each of Demon Beast is quite powerful.
Among those whom Li Yunjing had observed, none were weaker than the Spirit Communication Realm, that is, the Nascent Soul Realm of cultivators.
These Demon Beast are all Demon Beast to this Azure Dragon Marsh.
Previously, the Alligator Dragon, as the lord of this marshland, commanded these Demon Beast.
The waters of Azure Dragon Marsh have dried up, and the Alligator Dragon has lost its fighting power. Li Yunjing was quite surprised that these Demon Beast did not run away.
"Young master, why did you ask me to spare the life of this Fallen Dragon?"
At this moment, Fire Dragon was puzzled and asked Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing pointed to the Demon Beast gathered around the Alligator Dragon and laughed, "That's the reason."
"As the lord of this swamp, the Alligator Dragon commands so many aquatic Demon Beast; it would be a waste not to make use of them."
I intend to subdue this Alligator Dragon and have it continue to guard this Azure Jiao Marsh, Luozhen Sect in the future.
Li Yunjing's thinking was very simple.
Since the Luozhen Sect intends to settle in the Azure Jiao Marsh Swamp, and the Azure Jiao Marsh Swamp happens to have native demonic Demon Beast such as the Alligator Dragon,
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could subdue these Demon Beast and use them as guardian spirit beasts for the Luozhen Sect in the future?
After all, the Azure Jiao Marsh is the home ground of these Demon Beast, and with the help of the Azure Jiao Marsh's water veins, these Demon Beast can unleash even greater power.
It's perfect for guarding the gate, and just right for deterring those petty thieves.
Fire Dragon learned of Li Yunjing's purpose, he wholeheartedly agreed.
"Good, this is the kind of work Fallen Dragon should do!"
Li Yunjing smiled and then left the Extreme Crossing Boat.
It slowly landed on the scorched earth, which had become moist again.
Although the waters of Azure Jiao Marsh were dried up by the dragon flames, even the water veins were almost completely dried up by the scorching heat.
However, the Azure Jiao Marsh has existed for a very long time.
The water veins are only nearly dry, not completely dried up. Given time, the water veins of Azure Jiao Marsh will regain their vitality.
And this Azure Jiao Marsh can then revert to its previous state of rising water vapor.
Li Yunjing slowly walked to a distance of about fifty steps from the Alligator Dragon.
The Demon Beast gathered around the Alligator Dragon were on high alert, each one ready for battle.
The Alligator Dragon also opened its eyes and, seeing that it was a human, it became very curious and carefully examined Li Yunjing.
"I saved your life," Li Yunjing said, looking at the Alligator Dragon.
The Alligator Dragon immediately realized, "Oh, the young master that Fire Dragon was talking about is you."
"That's right, do you know why I spared your life?" Li Yunjing said.
The Alligator Dragon asked, "Why?"
"Simple. I am the Luozhen Sect in Flying Immortal Prefecture. I have come to the Great Wilderness to establish a new training ground for the Luozhen Sect."
This Azure Jiao Marsh is the place chosen by my Luozhen Sect, which means that the Azure Jiao Marsh will henceforth belong to my Luozhen Sect.
You Demon Beast would normally be completely eradicated.
However, I think about how difficult it has been for you all. You must have gone through a lot of hardships growing up from Awakened Intelligence to where you are today.
Therefore, I can give you a chance to live by submitting to my Luozhen Sect Luozhen Sect and becoming its guardian spirit beasts.
"In this way, your lives will be saved, and you may even receive training from the Luozhen Sect to grow stronger!" Li Yunjing said with a faint smile.
However, the Alligator Dragon did not react at all after these words were spoken.
The Demon Beast around him were enraged.
"Impossible! To expect us to submit to the human race is a disgrace!"
"You just destroyed our homeland, and now you want us to submit to you? How shameless!"
"I'd rather die than submit!"
"..."
At this moment, the Alligator Dragon spoke, "Quiet down!"
Although the Alligator Dragon had no fighting power at the moment, his words immediately silenced all the Demon Beast.
The Alligator Dragon then looked at Li Yunjing: "Humans, you've seen it yourself. Their words are my words. If you want us to submit to you, you might as well kill me!"
