Chapter 637: Flood Dragon Emperor: Why is there an existence equal to the Dragon Ancestor behind you?
"Another little old man, do you want to give it a try?"
The Flood Dragon's favorite thing was to toy with its prey before killing them, letting these prey die in despair.
The Grand Priest did not expect this Flood Dragon Emperor to have discovered him, but now that things had come to this, he had no need to hide anymore. He walked out from the shadows, bowed to the other party, and said, "Since the Flood Dragon Emperor wants our lives, we can only go all out. Even if we cannot defeat you, Flood Dragon Emperor, we must let you know that the people of our Heavenly Fire Tribe are not cowards."
"Gah gah gah..."
The Flood Dragon let out a burst of laughter resembling a duck's quack, and that ear-piercing laughter spread for dozens of miles around; just listening to it made people feel exceptionally irritated.
The Grand Priest and the Tribe Leader took this opportunity to circulate the True Qi within their bodies, intending to join hands and use their combined technique.
After a while, the Flood Dragon Emperor's laughter stopped. Looking down at the two of them, it said, "This Emperor just likes how you look stupid and stubborn. I want to see exactly what kind of moves you can pull off."
Before the Grand Priest and the Tribe Leader could speak, a confident and majestic voice came from within the valley: "I heard that you, little bug, want to eat me."
As soon as these words were spoken, all living beings present were stunned for a moment and turned their gazes toward the source of the voice.
The Grand Priest and the Tribe Leader saw that Jiang Yan had actually stood up on his own. Their expressions immediately changed drastically, and their hearts were filled with anxiety. They spoke in unison, "Yan'er, this has nothing to do with you, retreat quickly!"
As if he had not heard his grandfather and the Grand Priest's voices, Jiang Yan slowly stood up, retracted the divine light on his body, and then walked step by step toward the sky above the valley.
His walking speed was not fast, just as if he were stepping on invisible stairs.
Soon, Jiang Yan walked up to the Grand Priest and his grandfather. Looking at the two anxious old men, he smiled and said, "Two grandfathers, you need not worry about me. I have a way to deal with it."
The Tribe Leader did not feel happy because of Jiang Yan's words; instead, he became even more anxious. He said, "Yan'er, do not force yourself. This is a Demon Emperor of the Half-step Demon God Realm. Let alone you, even if I and the Grand Priest join hands, we are no match for it."
Jiang Yan knew that his grandfather was concerned about him. He held his grandfather's hand and said, "Grandfather, just believe in Yan Yan one more time. You two go wait in the valley first. Within a moment, I will let you eat Flood Dragon meat."
"Yan'er, you..."
The Tribe Leader still wanted to persuade him, but seeing Jiang Yan's face full of confidence, he finally chose to swallow the words back into his stomach.
In the sky, the smile on the Flood Dragon Emperor's face gradually disappeared, and its eyes changed from their previous playfulness to ferocity. A terrifying pressure emanated from the demonic clouds around it. It said coldly, "Little fellow, you have successfully angered me. Today, this Seat will eat you first, then imprison your soul, making you watch your clansmen be eaten by this Emperor bit by bit, letting you experience the most painful punishment in this world!"
As it spoke, its body also gradually emerged from behind the demonic clouds, and a Flood Dragon nearly a hundred zhang long appeared in the sky.
The demonic energy emanating from its body made everyone present terrified.
Even Great Witches like the Tribe Leader and the Grand Priest could not stop their bodies from trembling when facing such a terrifying Flood Dragon Emperor.
But now, they could do nothing, and the Tribe Leader dared not even look at what would happen next.
Jiang Lie looked at his nephew in the sky and felt an indescribable sourness in his heart. Before, he always felt that his father was unfair, but seeing Jiang Yan's performance today, he knew he had lost. No matter from which aspect, he could not be compared to Jiang Yan.
At this moment, he only had one sentence in his heart: A-Yan, you must survive. Uncle will not fight with you anymore in the future.
Jiang Yan, facing the Flood Dragon Emperor directly, had a calm face. He tightly held the Sword Jade given to him by his Master in his hand, believing that his Master would surely protect him.
"Make your move, otherwise in a moment, you will not have a chance to make a move."
Jiang Yan's voice was like a calm lake, unruffled, yet his eyes were filled with determination.
"Kid, you are angering this Emperor. Now this Emperor will let you know the consequences of angering this Emperor. Roar!"
After the Flood Dragon Emperor shouted angrily, a stream of poisonous smoke spewed from its mouth and fell toward Jiang Yan.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan no longer held back and shouted loudly, "Master, assist me. Slash!"
As he spoke, he injected spiritual power into the Sword Jade. The next second, a ray of light emitted from the Sword Jade, completely enveloping Jiang Yan.
The Flood Dragon Emperor's poisonous smoke instantly vanished without a trace upon touching this light.
How is this possible?
The Flood Dragon Emperor was greatly shocked in its heart. Not knowing why, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in its heart.
The most surprised were the people of the Heavenly Fire Tribe; no one had expected that Jiang Yan could actually block this strike from the Flood Dragon Emperor.
All living beings only saw a majestic figure walk out from within the light. No one could see the true face of that figure, but the moment this figure appeared, all sounds fell silent, and the sun, moon, and stars all focused upon this figure.
As soon as he appeared, he became the master of heaven and earth. He clearly did nothing, yet he made all living beings generate a thought of wanting to submit.
The previously arrogant Flood Dragon Emperor could not stop its body from trembling, giving people a feeling that it was tottering in the sky.
The Flood Dragon Emperor looked at that figure and murmured, "Impossible, this is impossible. How can the human race have a strong expert like the Dragon Ancestor?"
"Slash!"
That figure did not answer the Flood Dragon Emperor's words. After a loud shout, a sword suddenly fell toward the Flood Dragon Emperor in the sky.
That was an invincible sword. The Flood Dragon Emperor wished to flee, but discovered the sword had already locked onto it. Whether it fled to the clouds or beneath the Nine Seas, it would be suppressed by this sword. A sense of despair filled its heart.
"No!"
The Flood Dragon Emperor let out a mournful scream. That sword pierced through its body and at the same time nailed it to the Red Maple Valley.
Rumble!
A loud noise shook the eight directions.
All living beings within ten thousand miles felt the power of this sword and knelt on the ground one after another, constantly worshipping in the direction of the Red Maple Valley.
A long time later, Jiang Yan was the first to come back to his senses. Even though he had cultivated under his Master's sect for many years, he had never seen his Master make a move. Now, his Master had only made a slight move, yet he was so awestruck that he could not speak.
"Yan'er, you actually joined the sect of a powerful expert who is comparable to the Dragon Ancestor."
The Grand Priest's sudden voice brought everyone present back to reality from their shock.
"Correct."
Jiang Yan did not refute. In his heart, his Master was the most powerful existence in this world. Even legendary supreme existences like the Dragon Ancestor and the Phoenix Ancestor were not as good as his Master in his heart.
Phew...
After letting out a long breath, the Tribe Leader said with emotion, "Yan'er, you kept this from us so painstakingly!"
Jiang Yan explained with a smile, "It is mainly because Master's realm is too high. Even if I told you, you would not believe it."
Everyone felt that these words sounded a bit strange, but there seemed to be no problem. After all, an existence like the Dragon Ancestor had long surpassed their cognition.
The Grand Priest said with a smile, "Tribe Leader, although Yan'er hid something from us, this is a good thing for our Heavenly Fire Tribe. At least our Heavenly Fire Tribe has weathered a huge crisis. Without this Flood Dragon Emperor causing trouble, I think the plague in our Heavenly Fire Tribe will disappear soon."
"Correct, this is a good thing. It is just that this old man is worried about that Black Dragon God behind the Flood Dragon Emperor. Also, the Flood Dragon Emperor said that the Black Dragon God has already turned this area into his territory. If what it said is true, our Heavenly Fire Tribe will have to move."
The Tribe Leader said with deep worry. Although the tribe had Jiang Yan sitting in charge, no one could say clearly how many Flood Dragon Emperors were under that Black Dragon God's command. If it were an all-out war, their Heavenly Fire Tribe would have no chance of winning.
The Grand Priest said, "The only plan for now is to inform Lord Fire God of this news first and let him make a decision. If we can unite, I think we can survive this crisis. However, what happened today must absolutely not be leaked in the slightest, lest our Heavenly Fire Tribe become the target of public criticism."
The human heart is the hardest thing to fathom in this world. Although Jiang Yan possesses a treasure capable of opposing the Black Dragon God, this also poses a threat to the Fire God. Who knows what actions the Fire God might take against the Heavenly Fire Tribe upon learning this news.
"The Grand Priest is right."
The Tribe Leader swept his gaze over the people present who were still awake and said in a deep voice, "Regarding today's events, you must not spread it to outsiders. Otherwise, you will be dealt with according to the clan rules!"
Upon hearing this, everyone respectfully said, "Yes!"
