Chapter 391: Perform a striptease

”The Returning Dragon?” The middle-aged man murmured to himself. The attack just now had exuded an aura so powerful he had never felt anything like it before.
But...
Why would such a powerful technique be named The Returning Dragon?
Returning?
Is it because it couldn't bear to leave? Or because it had unfinished business?
The middle-aged man could not understand it, but he did not think much about it.
Wu Ji, who was standing next to the middle-aged man, also could not understand it. Even the other candidates, the dozens of demon elites, the Dragon Protection Squad, and...
Virtually no one there knew why this technique was known as The Returning Dragon.
However, they did not spend too much time thinking about it. Their attention was drawn to a deep crack in the ground.
This crevice was beneath the feet of the middle-aged man.
As such, this could not have been the work of the middle-aged man. This was clearly done by Fang Zhengzhi. A single strike had caused a crevice over five yards long.
How ridiculous was that?
Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi's opponent was a Rebirth State Demon.
”The Returning Dragon?!”
All of the demon elites looked at each other in confusion. They had never heard of a technique known as The Returning Dragon.
This technique allows a Heavenly Reflection State human to go up against a Rebirth State Demon!
Is it the technique?
Or...
Is it the person?!
No one had any idea what the answer was. If it was the former, what a powerful technique this was... if it was the latter...
How could someone like that exist in this world?
Could someone like that still be termed as a talent?
No!
This was ungodly!
Nangong Hao stopped in his tracks as he raised his head, the rain pummeling his face. He did not think about why the technique was named The Returning Dragon. He was trying to recall what he saw.
The silver light from Bai Xing's finger disappeared as well. He instinctively turned to look at Yun Qingwu, who was standing atop the cliff.
He too saw the joy through Yun Qingwu's veil.
Why was she happy?
Bai Xing did not understand. However, he knew that if someone like that was allowed to live...
Could the demons still survive in the coming decades?
This was a teenager who could go up against a Rebirth State Demon. Even though it was just a single round, this human could not be allowed to live.
Furthermore, he had an unprecedented 388 Daos in his pocket dimension.
”No matter the cost!” Bai Xing did not wait for Yun Qingwu's orders. It wasn't because he doubted Yun Qingwu's decision.
However...
Regardless of what Yun Qingwu wanted, he had to do this for the future of the demons.
The middle-aged man's expression turned steely. He knew what Bai Xing wanted. In fact, he was thinking the same thing.
”Ah!” A cry of pain reverberated through the air.
Then, the entire ground shook. This was a terrifying wave of force, almost as though it had been suppressed for centuries just waiting to explode.
Everyone recovered instantly when they heard the piercing scream and the intense vibrations. Everyone was awed by what they saw.
”He... he is going to?!”
”Demon... he is a Rebirth State demon!”
All of the candidates could not believe their eyes. They knew what was happening. However, their disbelief stemmed from the fact that they knew what he was doing.”
”Shi Kou, how... how dare you!” Yun Qingwu shouted from the cliff. She rarely spoke to humans or demons.
But this time, she shouted.
Furthermore...
Her tone was filled with fury.
All of the demon elites, as well as Bai Xing and Wu Ji, were all filled with shock and admiration as they saw what the middle-aged man was doing.
He bit his lip, his face contorting in pain. However, embedded deep within this pain was a sense of relieve.
This was Shi Kou.
The first Vice Domain Chief of the 10 demonic domains. He was a nascent Rebirth State Demon.
He only lived by one rule. The successful ruled, the ones who failed died.
He did not know if he had truly failed. However, he knew that once his sword had been shattered by a teenage Heavenly Reflection State human, he could not return to the demons.
This was a matter of pride.
The only way to preserve his dignity was to kill this human single-handedly.
Just as Bai Xing had said, no matter the cost.
The pale red demonic eye, representing a Rebirth State demon, turned black in that instant. It was like a black hole, and that meant that his demonic eye had been emptied.
At that moment, Shi Kou shot a ray of purple light that was stained with red into the sky.
...
”Not good!” Nangong Hao reacted almost instantly. With his heart cultivation, there were few things in this world which could make him flustered.
However, when he saw Shi Kou's demonic eye turn black...
He could predict what was about to happen.
”Nangong Hao, you cannot interfere! This is a battle that concerns Shi Kou's pride!” Bai Xing's fingers lit up once again as a ray of silver light shot towards Nangong Hao.
Wu Ji's blade also sprung into action. He did not point it at Fang Zhengzhi, choosing to turn on the Dragon Protection Squad. From the moment. Shi Kou decided to drain his demonic eye, Fang Zhengzhi was a dead man walking.
As such, he did not have to concern himself with Fang Zhengzhi.
His only job now was to...
Prevent anyone else from interfering in this battle.
Xing Qingsui clenched his fists. He knew what Shi Kou had done, but he was too far from Fang Zhengzhi. Even if he rushed over, he could not stop it.
The Dragon Protection Squad watched solemnly.
They were the elite soldiers of the Emperor. They were well decorated and honored in many ways. However, when they heard of Fang Zhengzhi's exploits, they realized that all their honors and achievements could not even hold a candle to this man.
He had conquered the Thunderous Lion Settlement with little fanfare.
Then, he commanded a 50,000 strong army to attack this city.
