Chapter 70

Due to the enormous difference in cultivation, Itachi efficiently managed to catch up to the Fierce Hawk, and with just one hand, he knocked the Hawk to the ground, thus giving Yun Che a chance to approach and retrieve the black ring that he feared losing.

Itachi looks at the scene of Yun Che hugging the black ring tightly. He was slightly nauseous. He knew that being so dependent on something like a power that isn't even his own would only lead to problems in the future.

At the same time that Yun Che was checking the black ring in his hand, he didn't realize that a great commotion was happening behind him. That's because two large shadows began to appear in the distance. And when he noticed the two big shadows covering him, it was already too late because an intense burst of fire covered the whole area he was in.

A little further away, Itachi had already noticed the two Flood Dragons. After all, it would be impossible for him not to see two dragons a hundred meters high. He shook his head, seeing that the flames of the two Dragons had walloped Yun Che.

Looking at the flames that now covered the surroundings where Yun Che was, Itachi highly doubted that the boy could survive with just his own body. That was because the two Flood Dragons were at the Peak of the Heaven Profound Realm. Even a Profound Emperor Realm cultivator would have trouble dealing with these two Dragons simultaneously.

"Hmph! That devil hadn't let his vessel die that easily." Jasmine said with a hint of disgust in her voice.

Nodding his head, Itachi focused his attention on the two Flood Dragons, who now seemed to focus their attention entirely on him.

"HUMAN! LET THIS DRAGON DEVOUR YOU!" The dragon that appeared to be the male roared strongly as it advanced toward Itachi.

But it was useless no matter how fast the Flood Dragon advanced towards Itachi. The difference in cultivation between them was too significant to overcome.

Facing the Flood Dragon head-on, Itachi merely stretched out his hand enough to stop the momentum of the Dragon that was now being held by only one indicator of Itachi.

"I think the core of these two Flood Dragons might be useful to the sect." He thought as he threw a sequence of punches at the Flood Dragon.

Each punch that hit the Flood Dragon's body left a deep mark with traces of blood. And in a few seconds, the Flood Dragon's once tall and powerful body was highly damaged.

"Be sure to end this fight quickly. We don't want to see these Dragons burning their life essence." Jasmine said in Itachi's mind.

"Don't worry." Itachi said calmly.

At the end of his speech, he made swift hand seals.

"Katon: Endan!"

Itachi gathered oil in his mouth created by his Profound Energy, and after collecting the required amount, he spat it out, igniting it in the process. Thus firing a massive fire missile towards the Flood Dragon that was wounded.

The speed at which the fire missile was thrown was so fast that the Flood Dragon's partner had no chance to help him—causing the already injured Flood Dragon to be engulfed by the flames, which quickly began to burn his entire body.

The Flood Dragon's partner seemed enraged to see her husband being burned to death and, in a roar of rage, flew towards Itachi to try and devour him. In the process, the Female Flood Dragon used a technique where she could cover herself in flames generated by her core. This technique could only be used once because the core would be exhausted afterward.

"A suicide attack?" Itachi thought.

"In that case, I will give a quick death..."

Quickly Itachi pulled out a sword from his storage ring. The blade was sheathed in a silver scabbard filled with Dragon decorations. That was a sword he had received not long ago from his mother.

Gong Yuxian had gifted him with this sword when she discovered that the previous sword she had given to Itachi was worn to the point that it was no longer usable in battle.

This was a sword that she had managed to acquire at an auction, and according to the information of the person who sold it, this sword was used by a dragon hunter in ancient times.

"Why not try that technique?" Itachi thought.

When the other Flood Dragon was fifteen meters away, Itachi threw his sword aiming at the center of the Dragon's head.

The Flood Dragon seemed a bit troubled by this attack that appeared to contain no trace of strength. And being no fool, it quickly created a shield on its head made of Profound Energy, just in case this attack differed from what it was seeing.

Seeing that the Dragon had considerable intelligence, Itachi couldn't hold back but smiled slightly. Stretching out his right hand, a colossal spear made out of lightning appeared, going at extreme speed towards the Flood Dragon, already five meters away.

He learned this technique when he fought Sasuke in the shinobi world.

'Chidori Eisō!'

The spear made of lightning quickly pierced the body of the Female Flood Dragon that due to the sudden injury, ended up undoing the protection on its head, which turned out to be a mistake because the sword that Itachi had thrown toward its head ended up piercing its brain breaking the dragon's core in half.

The sword quickly went through the Dragon's head, only stopping when it collided with a mountain in the distance but not without leaving a part of the mountain destroyed, showing that the force that Itachi had thrown the spear had not been weak at all.

Itachi had not worried about the Female Flooded Dragon Core because the Dragon had used a technique that would leave the core exhausted, meaning useless for use.

"The result is still acceptable..." He thought as he looked at the two dead Flood Dragons.

He searched for signs of Yun Che's body but got no information. It was as if Yun Che had been teleported to another region or abducted by some being.

Jasmine, who had been watching the whole battle, realized that Yun Che had disappeared, and with disgust, she said, "It's like I said, that one of the Devil Race won't let his chosen one die so easily."

Itachi didn't care what the being of the Devil Race wanted with Yun Che's body. He just wanted to fulfill his part of the agreement so he could return home, but seeing that Yun Che was no longer present, he would consider it as having his part of the agreement fulfilled. After all, he has more things to do and can't keep looking for Yun Che in this desert.

Besides, the Blue Wind Classification Tournament is only a few months away, and Itachi feels that many things will happen then, so he wants to be prepared.
