Chapter 224: The Light Of A Firefly Against The Scorching Sun

The autumn tree leaves rustled as its branches and leaves became unstable. It began to break free from the branches and slowly floated down.

A gentle breeze blew, and the red leaves swayed as they landed by Jiang Lan’s feet.

At this moment, Jiang Lan was wielding his sword and looking at the Eighth Prince.

Previously, he had made use of his attainments in array formations to force the Eighth Prince to fail to dodge his final attack.

If not for his array formation, he wouldn’t have been able to succeed.

The Eighth Prince was not of the Skywolf Race. The two were worlds apart.

Unfortunately, the outcome was still undecided..

Otherwise, he would have won.

It was impossible for ordinary people to dodge the Defying Seven Sword move with the array formation’s guidance.

Even the Eighth Prince.

Except…

The Dragon Race had outstanding talent. They had scales to protect their bodies.

It made it difficult for him to hurt the other party.

Ao Man moved his neck, surprised. He had underestimated the other party.

He was actually injured.

“You’re completely different from the rumors.” Ao Man was surprised.

However, he would not hold back now. What happened earlier would never happen again.

Ao Man moved his lower body, and lightning appeared around his body. His halberd was directly covered by lightning, looking like a lightning spear.

In the next instant, he took a step forward and transformed into a bolt of lightning, directly attacking Jiang Lan.

Boom!

The two forces intertwined.

Lightning and light flashed continuously, their figures disappearing and reappearing. Power surged, wreaking havoc on the square.

A large amount of array formation lights appeared on the square.

Only with the array formations could the square remain intact.

Boom!

Jiang Lan was sent flying.

However, his figure wasn’t the slightest bit messy. He stood on the ground, sword in hand, no longer moving too much.

The Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent began to manifest in his sword.

“The Dragon Slaying Sword is about to decide the victor.” Lu Jian looked at the square in anticipation.

If the Dragon Slaying Sword could not gain any merit, then the Ninth Summit would lose this battle.

And vice versa.

The others said nothing and only watched on.

They wanted to see if the Dragon Slaying Sword was as powerful as the rumors.

On the top of the Ninth Summit, Ao Li and the others did not speak. Instead, they looked down to see what was going on.

The Dragon Race cultivators had thought that they would be able to achieve victory with ease.

An innate immortal had suppressed his cultivation to fight against the other party. Not only did he not win immediately, he was even injured.

It was one thing to underestimate him, but the real reason was that the other party had come up with an unexpected move.

The two of them thought of many things to say to suppress Kunlun, but other than saying a few words at the start, they could not say anything else.

It was all because the Eighth Prince was not good enough.

After being humiliated previously, they wanted to use this opportunity to humiliate Kunlun back.

They would use this opportunity to make things difficult.

Unfortunately, the Eighth Prince seemed to be unable to defeat his opponent quickly.

Roar!

A dragon’s roar sounded in the Ninth Summit. Ao Man waved his halberd and summoned the lightning dragon.

The roar of a dragon could be heard as thunder rumbled.

Jiang Lan frowned slightly. This was his first time using the Dragon Slaying Sword against a true dragon.

He wasn’t sure how effective it would be. He would try his best.

He waved his sword and lifted it.

His cold gaze was filled with killing intent as Dragon Slaying Sword Sword Intent began to proliferate from his sword.

The giant dragon had already arrived. What remained was his sword.

Slash.

Jiang Lan raised his head slightly and looked at the giant dragon.

It was as though he wanted to kill the other party with a single strike.

Ao Man attacked Jiang Lan.

He transformed into lightning and didn’t use his true dragon body.

The effect of the Dragon Slaying Sword on him should be minimized.

However, when Jiang Lan raised his sword, he still felt it. It felt like he had met with his natural enemy, making him feel a bit fearful.

However, this emotion was immediately wiped away by him.

He, who was born immortal, was fearless.

Thunder raged and the wind surged.

The strong wind rustled the corner of Jiang Lan’s clothes and blew away his hair.

At this moment, Ao Man saw Jiang Lan looking up at him with murderous intent.

Jiang Lan looked at Ao Ye, as if he wanted to kill him.

That wasn’t a problem. However, when he saw the other party holding a sword and standing against the wind.

Ao Man’s heart skipped a beat. The instinct he had as an innate immortal suddenly kicked in.

This glance of Ao Ye seemed to be able to pierce through time and see the fight from before.

He saw a human standing under the bloody mist, staring at him.

He saw the human shatter the red dragon with a single punch.

Seeing the figure was enough to make him afraid.

It was the fear in his heart that triggered the scene he feared earlier.

At that instant, Ao Man’s pupils contracted.

The fear in his heart came out of nowhere, just like the first time he saw this person.

Fear grew in his heart and courage dissipated.

It was like he was facing death directly, a moth flying into the fire. It was as if he was a firefly competing with the scorching sun.

He would die.

This was a dead end.

In that instant, Ao Man instinctively retracted his power. He endured all the backlash.

He stopped his attacks with all his might.

This was all done without reason. It was purely based on his instinct.

Pu!

Just as he was about to clash with Jiang Lan’s Dragon Slaying Sword, Ao Man paid the price of a light injury. He restrained his injuries and leapt backwards, escaping from the battlefield.

He stood on the plaza, looking at Jiang Lan with fear in his eyes.

It was this feeling again.

Again, there was no reason for the fear.

However, it was even more terrifying this time.

As he looked at Jiang Lan, the image of the human who shattered the red dragon with a single punch kept appearing in his mind.

Blood mist seemed to fill his surroundings.

It was as if he would turn into a bloody mist the next moment.

He could not stop these thoughts. It was as if he had just walked to the gates of hell.

Ao Man suddenly retreated, preventing Jiang Lan’s Dragon Slaying Sword from descending.

Jiang Lan was surprised.

The other party was clearly about to launch an attack, so why did he suddenly retreat despite being injured?

“A conspiracy?”

Jiang Lan was puzzled. He was on full alert to prevent any accidents.

However, seeing that the other party didn’t move, out of curiosity, he asked.

“Eighth Prince, are you not going to make a move?”

Clang!

The moment he heard this, the Eighth Prince was so frightened that he threw his halberd to the ground and said subconsciously.

“I—I didn’t—”

Halfway through, the Eighth Prince realized that this was a challenge and that there was no danger.

At this point, that inexplicable fear disappeared.

He looked at Jiang Lan, momentarily confused.

Why did this happen?

Was there really no reason for what had just happened?

At this moment, his mind was filled with that man, the human who made him afraid and made him not dare to fight with his Dharma treasure.

The man who shattered the red dragon with a single punch.

The human had even become a late-stage Human Immortal after transcending the tribulation.

Ai!

Being an innate immortal was pretty useless.

Finally, Ao Man lowered his head and said.

“I lost.”

He had dropped the Dharma treasure in his hand from fright. How could he not admit defeat?

Jiang Lan put down his sword after hearing his opponent admit defeat.

The Eighth Prince’s behavior was very strange.

“Was he scared by his Dragon Slaying Sword? Probably not. What frightened him then? He couldn’t have known I’d attacked him before.”

Jiang Lan was confused.

However, an innate immortal was truly extraordinary.

At that time, he had not cultivated One Leaf Shrouding The Sky. Perhaps he had been noticed.

However, the other party definitely did not recognize him.

He would keep an eye on it for now.

“Thank you for letting me win.” Jiang Lan withdrew his sword and replied softly.

At that moment, the crowd on the Ninth Summit fell silent again.

What happened?

Jiang Lan had won just like that?

How did he win?

“Is there some match-fixing involved in this?”

Finally, someone asked this question.

“Do you think the dragons will cooperate with this match-fixing?”

“Definintely not.”

While others were surprised, Xiao Yu was also surprised.

Her brother suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he was shocked.

Who threatened her brother?

At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly felt numerous gazes on her.

Xiaoyu: “???”

She lifted her head and looked up, sensing that it was a gaze from above the Ninth Summit.

“Why are the seniors looking at me?”
