CHAPTER 967: CHAPTER 964: DEFEATING THE DEMON DRAGON!

"Who are you, and why have you come to my domain?"

Before Li Chen could speak, the Demon Dragon thunderously questioned Li Chen and Ximen Qingxue.

Ximen Qingxue had never experienced such a scene before and was immediately frightened out of her wits, instinctively casting her eyes toward Li Chen.

Li Chen gave Ximen Qingxue a reassuring look, signaling her not to be afraid, that he would handle everything!

Ximen Qingxue understood, nodding vigorously like a chick pecking rice.

After calming Ximen Qingxue, Li Chen faced the Demon Dragon with sharp eyes like swords.

"We wish to make a trip to the Demon Domain and hope you can give us a pass!"

The Demon Dragon snorted a puff of white mist from its massive nose, and shouted, "What if I refuse?"

Li Chen, not backing down, casually replied, "Then I will have to slaughter you and force my way through!"

He spoke lightly, as if killing this enormous creature in front of him was as easy and casual as killing a stray dog.

On hearing Li Chen’s words, the Demon Dragon was dumbfounded.

It even questioned whether its ears were mistaken. This human, who wasn’t even as big as one of its fingers, dared to speak so boldly, claiming he would slaughter it. This was simply laughable beyond belief.

"Ignorant human, you are courting death!"

Before the voice fell, the Demon Dragon lifted its claw, as majestic as a towering mountain, to crush Li Chen.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing the Demon Dragon attack without warning, Li Chen swung his palm, pushing Ximen Qingxue to a safe area.

"Swish!"

The Seven-star Dragon Abyss unsheathed, growing longer against the wind. In the blink of an eye, it formed a hundred-zhang sword rainbow, stabbing at the Demon Dragon’s colossal claw like a comet striking the moon.

"Clang!"

The Demon Dragon’s claw, though as hard as rock, could not withstand the sharpness of the Seven-star Dragon Abyss.

"Crack!"

The Seven-star Dragon Abyss pierced through the Demon Dragon’s giant claw, blood gushing like a waterfall, staining the sky.

The Demon Dragon withdrew its pierced claw with a grimace of pain, as though electrocuted.

It glanced at its bloody, bone-exposed claw, and fiery fury ignited in its blood-red beast eyes.

"Damn human, I will kill you!"

Before the words full of killing intent landed, the Demon Dragon suddenly lashed out with a Divine Dragon Tail, sweeping towards Li Chen with unstoppable momentum.

Li Chen sharply tapped his toe on the ground, performing a nimble aerial flip, narrowly dodging past.

Then, wind was beneath his feet as though climbing a heavenly ladder, effortlessly soaring towards the clouds until he was parallel to the Demon Dragon’s gaze.

The Demon Dragon saw this tiny human not fleeing but returning to confront it, and it erupted in an angry roar towards Li Chen.

"Roar!"

This roar was far stronger than the Lion’s Roar in martial arts novels by an unimaginable margin.

Hundreds of miles around were affected as if struck by a super typhoon, ancient trees severed at the waist, boulders lifted high and slammed down, and some towering peaks collapsed under the pressure.

Li Chen ascended against the void, moving as one with his sword, the sword’s tip emitting a cold gleam, piercing towards the Demon Dragon’s eye like a white rainbow across the sun.

For both the Human Clan and Demon Beasts, the eyes are the most vulnerable spot.

Moreover, Li Chen’s attack was incredibly fast, with a very tricky angle—even the agile Nascent Soul Great Power might not evade effectively, let alone the enormous and cumbersome Demon Dragon.

"Crack!"

The sword tip pierced the Demon Dragon’s eye like a heavy stone splashing into water, raising a splash.

However, this splash was not water but the blood bursting from the Demon Dragon’s ruptured eye.

"Roar roar!"

The Demon Dragon let out a hysterical roar from its blinded eye.

This roar’s power surpassed the previous one, collapsing clouds and shaking the void.

Even Li Chen felt his eardrums buzzing, akin to a thousand war drums being pounded beside his ears.

"Damn human, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!"

The Demon Dragon went utterly berserk, roaring while its claws crackled with lightning, blades of light, and flames—all indiscriminately bombarded towards Li Chen.

Li Chen did not dodge but clasped his hands together, forming a seal. Around him, a golden bell of light enveloped him.

From a distance, he appeared like a reincarnated Buddha, standing firm between heaven and earth.

"Clang!"

"Crackle!"

Lightning, flames, light spheres, wind blades... Various chaotic attacks slammed into the golden bell, sparking a burst of dazzling electric lights.

Outside the golden bell, lightning intertwined and exploded violently.

Inside the golden bell, Li Chen stood unwavering, as calm as before.

At this moment, Li Chen resembled a fisherman securely perched at a fishing terrace, unmoved by the winds from any direction.

As the Demon Dragon’s attack weakened, dwindling in power, the corners of his mouth curled into a sly smile of victory.

"Next, it’s my turn to strike!"

"Sky Flipping Seal!"

Li Chen clasped his hands together, quickly forming a light seal that made mountains and rivers overturn, and the heavens descend.

"Boom!"

The Sky Flipping Seal turned into a majestic mountain, pressing down fiercely on the Demon Dragon.

The Demon Dragon, horrified at the sight, raised its claws to intercept, trying in vain to block the light seal’s suppression.

"Cut the mountain river!"

Li Chen brandished the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, slashing down with lightning speed.

This sword strike could split mountains and sever rivers.

One of the Demon Dragon’s claws was cleanly severed on the spot.

The other claw was not entirely severed but only held by a few tendons to the body, its bones starkly visible.

With the loss of its claws’ support, the Demon Dragon was powerless against the Sky Flipping Seal’s suppression. Its scale armor, unable to withstand the intense pressure, began to crack, with flesh tearing, a gruesome sight.

At this point, the outcome was decided!

Li Chen clapped his hands, looking down coldly at the severely injured Demon Dragon lying on the ground, asking indifferently, "Do you have any objections now?"

This result was entirely beyond the Demon Dragon’s expectations.

Based on its formidable strength, even the Nascent Soul Great Power of the Human Clan dared not face it directly.

But this young man, with a mere Golden Core Realm, left it utterly defenseless, which was simply unbelievable.

The Demon Dragon, now with one blinded eye and both claws severed, still held its head high with pride, showing no hint of pleading.

Though it remained silent, its expression vividly conveyed one message:

Kill if you want, chop if you must, I won’t bow to you!

Just as Li Chen considered whether to actually kill this massive creature,

from the distant void suddenly came another soul-stirring Dragon’s roar...
