Chapter 61: Killing the Mad Sky Dragon
Although this was a difficult statement for the Mad Sky Dragon to make, due to its enormous size, its voice still resounded like thunder, and everyone in the Mo Yun Sect heard it.
Many people were immediately shocked. Though they didn't know what had happened, it didn't stop their imaginations from running wild.
However, Fang Yin was more shocked than anyone else. It was only at this moment that he realized the Mad Sky Dragon had actually said something that could be interpreted as obeying someone's command.
"Heh, I don't need it." Xu Yang looked at the Mad Sky Dragon and said indifferently.
He felt that the Mad Sky Dragon, in death, would be more valuable than in life.
He believed that the Mad Sky Dragon still had many valuable spirit herbs on its body.
For example, Xu Yang looked at the Mad Sky Dragon's whiskers in front of him, which could even be used as ropes.
The Mad Sky Dragon's whiskers could be refined into infant pills with other spirit herbs.
Infant pills could significantly increase the chances of advancing from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul stage.
"You don't want me? Then what does that mean? Do you want to kill me?" The Mad Sky Dragon said, a little panicked.
Even a thousand years ago, when it fought dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, it didn't panic this much. But now, faced with Xu Yang, it was trembling.
The two kicks Xu Yang had just given it made it start questioning its life.
They were too powerful. Those two kicks nearly took its life.
And clearly, Xu Yang hadn't even used his full strength yet, as if he were just playing around.
Those two seemingly light kicks had heavily injured it!
Although the Mad Sky Dragon's intelligence was not as high as a human's, it knew that it couldn't defeat a human.
"Human, don't kill me! I can be your mount!" the Mad Sky Dragon cried out in fear.
Xu Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in mounts. I'm interested in alchemy, so I plan to use you to refine pills."
"Use me to refine pills!?" The Mad Sky Dragon froze for a few seconds before immediately realizing.
Damn, refining pills with it could only mean one thing—death, and not just any death, but one full of suffering!
Thinking of this, the Mad Sky Dragon nearly wet itself and quickly said, "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'll do anything for you. Please, don't refine pills into me."
The Mad Sky Dragon begged desperately. In the face of death, its pride meant nothing, so it threw all shame aside in its pleading.
Fang Yin, watching the once cold and invincible Mad Sky Dragon beg for mercy, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
He then turned around, beads of sweat beginning to form on his palms.
His situation wasn't any better than the Mad Sky Dragon's.
He could sense Xu Yang's deep hostility towards the Mo Yun Sect.
He felt that if Xu Yang were in a bad mood, he could easily destroy the Mo Yun Sect in an instant.
So, the Mo Yun Sect's first priority now was to keep Xu Yang comfortable, making sure he never felt displeased.
This... was a matter of life and death for the Mo Yun Sect.
On top of that, there was another very tricky problem.
The Mo Yun Sect had stolen the Mad Sky Dragon from the Tianyang Sect. How would they explain this to him?
Fang Yin felt a headache coming on.
…
Meanwhile, the Mad Sky Dragon, using its not-so-sharp brain, tried to think of countless reasons for not being killed, all of which Xu Yang rejected with the promise of using it for alchemy.
"Human, don't go too far! If you want to use me to refine pills, then killing me won't do you any good!" the Mad Sky Dragon shouted desperately.
Xu Yang smiled lightly and said, "You can try. You'll know soon enough."
With a confident smile on his face, Xu Yang's clear eyes fixed on the Mad Sky Dragon.
The Mad Sky Dragon, in a fit of desperation, yelled, "Fine! Since you insist on killing me, I'll make sure you get nothing!"
As soon as the words left its mouth, the Mad Sky Dragon's massive body turned red, as though it were a piece of iron being heated in flames.
Boom…
Suddenly, the surrounding spiritual energy became dense.
It then began to spiral around the Mad Sky Dragon's body.
The rotation grew fiercer, gradually turning into a tornado of spiritual energy.
The Mad Sky Dragon's body grew even redder, almost translucent, as if it were about to melt.
"Are you planning to self-destruct?" Xu Yang asked indifferently, showing no sign of surprise.
Xu Yang guessed that if the Mad Sky Dragon self-destructed with this amount of spiritual energy, everything within a hundred miles would turn to ashes.
"Ha ha, human, you forced me! If I'm going to die, I'll take you down with me!" the Mad Sky Dragon roared in laughter.
At this moment, its body began to swell, like a balloon, as if it was about to explode at any second.
"Heh, you're overthinking it," Xu Yang said lightly.
As he spoke, he extended a finger and lightly touched the Mad Sky Dragon's body.
At that moment, something miraculous happened.
The Mad Sky Dragon's swollen body rapidly contracted, soon returning to its normal size.
Its red body turned back to its usual dark color.
The spiritual storm that had just gathered quickly dissipated, and the world returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
"What… What's going on?" The Mad Sky Dragon was a bit dazed, its large eyes filled with confusion.
"Heh, you can die now," Xu Yang said indifferently, suddenly drawing a sword and stabbing it into the Mad Sky Dragon's forehead.
Bang…
The sword pierced the Mad Sky Dragon's head, instantly shattering it into pieces.
Xu Yang looked at the Mad Sky Dragon's corpse and smiled.
The Mad Sky Dragon was actually quite old, but its strength was only at the half-step Heavenly Cave stage, and it might not even be at that level.
Its only intimidating feature was its massive size.
Of course, this wasn't to say that the Mad Sky Dragon was weak, but it had been sealed by a formation for a thousand years, and its cultivation had regressed instead of advancing. Even now that it was released, it hadn't regained its vitality.
If the Mad Sky Dragon had some time to recover, it would probably return to its Cave Heaven realm.
At that moment, Xu Yang suddenly heard the sound of something cutting through the air from behind him.
He turned around and saw a group of people flying toward him.
"Who are you, and what is your business?" Xu Yang asked.
Thud…
Just then, the group of people suddenly knelt on one knee, bowing respectfully.
"The Mo Yun Sect welcomes the esteemed senior's arrival," the leader, Fang Yin, said with trembling fear.
Xu Yang scanned Fang Yin, and Fang Yin's forced smile seemed even more strained. Xu Yang could almost hear his heartbeat from a distance.
