Chapter 1180: A Dying Man Is Only As Good As His Word (2)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Disappointed?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.
“Since when do humans dare to meddle in the affairs of us Black Dragons? Aren’t you afraid of attracting disaster to the city by interfering?” the Black Dragon asked arrogantly.
“Of course, I’m scared.” Jiang Hao chuckled. “That’s why I’ve brought my brother with me. I hope you can spare your anger for his sake.”
The Black Dragon turned to look at the Holy Master and laughed.
“A human? What’s he worth? He might have some extraordinary soul, but he’s nothing more than delicious food. Does a human deserve any attention except as fodder for their ancestors?”
“Oh?” Jiang Hao looked at the person beside him in surprise. “Brother Li, doesn’t he recognize you?”
“How can a trash like him recognize me?” The Holy Master sneered.
Jiang Hao thought about it and agreed. Powerful existences did recognize the Holy Master whether it was the Saint Bandit, the Dragon Clan, or the Human Emperor himself. Not recognizing someone like him probably deserved to be called trash.
“Trash? Hahaha…” The Black Dragon laughed. “Humans are bold now, aren’t they? Not afraid of another halving of the population?”
“Another halving of the population? Did such things happen even during the era of the Human Emperor?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
“It’s obvious he’s not from the era when the Human Emperor was around. Otherwise, which Black Dragon would dare speak like this? It’s impudent to talk of them like they are fodder. Although everyone wanted to enslave the human race, various other races were so afraid of the Human Emperor’s expedition that they did not even dare think about it. Even the strongest immortal clans collapsed before the Human Emperor. What is a mere Black Dragon clan?” said the Holy Master disdainfully.
“Humans indeed love to dream. Are humans worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the immortal clans?” The Black Dragon’s power surged as if it wanted to make a move.
“Senior, there’s something I need to tell you.” Jiang Hao stopped him.
“What is it?” The Black Dragon frowned.
Before he could do anything, he realized that Jiang Hao had disappeared.
Suddenly, a long sword pierced through his chest.
A cold voice whispered in his ear from behind, “It’s like this. To a junior like myself, some things are extremely precious. When you beat them down like that, I would need to avenge it.” The Black Dragon was enraged. A mere human dared to hurt him like this.
He roared.
He raised his hand to grab the person.
However, a blade flashed.
It slashed down.
It was the Heavenly Blade.
A withered arm was severed.
“How dare you!” The Black Dragon roared.
At that moment, his body burst with endless power. He wanted to make Jiang Hao pay.
The four Clear Sky School disciples below felt as though their bodies were melting.
“Senior, don’t be so impulsive in your next life,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.
He used the first form of the Heavenly Blade, Moon Slaying.
The sword’s light was like the flash of a moonlight.
Just as the Black Dragon was about to retaliate, the blade slashed him across the neck.
He was beheaded in an instant.
Jiang Hao grabbed the Black Dragon’s head and kicked it away.
When Zuo Daoming and the other three saw this terrifying scene, they were in disbelief.
The once arrogant dragon was beheaded just like that.
Jiang Hao looked at the four people and sighed with emotion. He seemed to have startled these four kids.
“Human.” At that moment, the severed Black Dragon’s head said, “You can’t kill me. Do you even know the difference that exists between us? Human spells can’t kill me. Only the power of the great force can obliterate our souls. To you, we are immortal. If I don’t die today, I’ll destroy all the human cities in the future.”
Jiang Hao lifted the head and reached out to condense the Mountain Sea Seal.
In an instant, three mountains appeared. The power of the mountains and seas shook the surroundings.
“Is this what you meant, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.
“Huh?” The Black Dragon was dumbfounded.
It was unbelievable.
Jiang Hao placed the mark on the head. There was a terrified whimper, which died down soon enough.
Jiang Hao had only sealed the head.
He threw it into his storage treasure and placed it together with the Heavenly Fate Misfortune pearl.
He hoped that the head would like its neighbor.
All of that happened very quickly. The others present felt as though it was a dream.
In an instant, the source of the threat had vanished.
The Holy Master walked to the coffin and searched inside. He found a pitch-black dragon pearl.
“The dragon pearl was out, and still that dragon was so arrogant!” The Holy Master sighed.
“I thought the Black Dragons were as strong as the True Dragons. This dragon was a bit weak,” said Jiang Hao.
“If you were sealed like that, you would not be breathing. You’d just be a pile of bones,” said the Holy Master.
Jiang Hao nodded.
That was true. No matter how strong an existence was, it would weaken with time after being sealed.
Moreover, that dragon’s pearl had been dislodged from it, so it was even weaker.
Ignoring the Holy Master who had put away the dragon pearl, Jiang Hao looked at Zuo Daoming.
“Thank you, Senior,” said the four people at the same time. “Thank you so much for saving our lives.”
“You’re welcome. I’m just here to take back my things.” Jiang Hao walked up to Zuo Daoming. “Fellow Disciple, the three-year deadline is up. I’m here for my pickaxe.”
Zuo Daoming glanced at the pickaxe in his hand and handed it over with both hands.
Jiang Hao took the pickaxe and sighed.
After so many years, it was finally back.
How should he use it again?
“Senior, am I just nourishment for the Black Dragon?” Zuo Daoming could not help but ask. “Is that true?”
“Whether it’s true or not, what does it matter?” Jiang Hao laughed. “Everyone wants to kill me too. Brother Li would be delighted if I were dead. So? Does it affect my pursuit of the immortal path?”
“He has the Black Dragon’s mark on him. He won’t be able to escape. When the Great Era War arrives, he’ll definitely be targeted by the Black Dragons.” The Holy Master walked over to them.
