Chapter 144 - You Will Pay the Price In The Future

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The years passed by, and the seasons interchanged.

The sandstone-like years were washed away bit by bit by the flowing water.

Jiu Zhongtian, who was seated in the pavilion, had already drunk numerous bottles of wine.

It was unknown how many times the gourd on his waist had been refilled with wine.

“Master, they are urging us again.” Lu Jian appeared beside Jiu Zhongtian once again.

“How many more days?” Jiu Zhongtian asked Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu.

“Three days. The people from the Dragon Race have arrived. They also need Master over there,” Lu Jian said.

Jiu Zhongtian put down his wine and stood up.

“You shall watch over them.”

The ‘them’ Jiu Zhongtian was referring to were Jiang Lan and Xiaoyu.

After giving his instructions, Jiu Zhongtian left and vanished from the pavilion.

Lu Jian paid no attention.

And why them.

He also understood.

It was an unfathomable development.

However, he just had to continue watching what will unfold.

He was an outsider.

…

Jiang Lan sat on the water surface. He could see the existence of the demonic dragon and Xiao Yu.

However, they did not say a word during this period.

Everyone occupied one side.

Each had their own territory.

Jiang Lan’s side was calm and tranquil.

Xiao Yu’s side was bright and filled with the vigor of like and birds were chirping happily at her side.

Over at the demonic dragon’s side, there was a thunderstorm.

The environment represented one’s heart and mood.

Although everyone understood their own mentality, no one made any unnecessary moves.

It was just a matter of time.

The demonic dragon was fighting against Jiang Lan while Xiao Yu seemed to be keeping the demonic dragon in check.

Jiang Lan was like a victim.

His gaze was on the sword.

He had thought about it for a long time and understood a lot.

Back then, the old farmer had a deep hatred for the demonic dragon and wanted revenge.

His Dragon Slaying Sword had reached the pinnacle of perfection before his death. It contained his anger, his hatred, his thoughts, and his comprehension of heaven and earth.

The weapon in his hand was no more than an ordinary firewood knife, and the hand holding the knife was an old and powerless hand.

The Dragon Slaying Sword appeared in his hand because he had a heart of the sword. This sword was transformed from a ball of fire in his heart. It contained his thirst for revenge, his anger, as well as the hope he had in him.

All he thought of was slaying the demonic dragon with a single sword strike.

The moment his sword rose, he knew that he would die. However, he wanted to see a clear and bright future with the sword in his hand before he fell.

This was the old farmer’s Dragon Slaying Sword.

He had given the sword its meaning, or rather, the Dragon Slaying Sword had come because of this.

Even if others had similar mindsets, it was impossible for them to use the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Hence, no one else could learn the true Dragon Slaying Sword.

It was a surprise that Jiang Lan had managed to learn it.

The Dragon Slaying True Intent belonged to the old farmer. Jiang Lan wouldn’t learn it, nor could he learn it.

Without his experience, how could he understand the old farmer’s heart?

How could he give meaning to the sword?

But Jiang Lan’s Dragon Slaying True Intent more or less had a direction.

As an ordinary person, how could the old farmer unleash such a strike?

The comprehension of the world was only enough for him to understand this sword, and to make it appear in the world.

It was one thing for him to be able to slash down this sword.

The only thing that could make him sever the Dragon Slaying Sword was the determination to turn his life into power.

After the strike, he would completely leave this world.

Remaining in this world would only be the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Jiang Lan placed his hand on the wooden sword.

He might not be able to understand the meaning of this sword, and the path he walked on was destined to be different from the old farmer’s.

However, he had always been struggling on the path of cultivation.

He had always been working hard and trying his best.

He wanted to go farther and faster.

The road was under his feet, blocking his path.

And this strike could break through countless obstacles for him.

He would use his life to empower this strike, giving it the power to break through all obstructions put up by the Dragon Race.

The sword in his hand would accompany him to the peak.

When the sword rises, the demonic dragon shall be killed; when the sword falls, the four seas shall be shocked.

At this moment, Jiang Lan’s Dragon Slaying True Intent began to emanate.

Power appeared on the wooden sword.

Xiao Yu, who was meditating, was instantly jolted awake. She looked at Jiang Lan and felt the terror enmating from the strike he was preparing for.

She did not feel any thoughts from this sword. All she could feel from it was extreme coldness.

It was as if she would be at a disadvantage as long as she met with the sword.

This sword was targeted at dragons.

The demonic dragon looked at Jiang Lan in shock.

At this moment, he felt a strange feeling. As long as he came into contact with the other party.

This sword of his would destroy him with everything it had.

“Human, it’s just a bit more power and influence compared to before. Do you think it can cause me any substantial harm?” The demonic dragon looked coldly at Jiang Lan.

Although he was shouting, there was a trace of fear in his heart.

It was mainly because the old farmer from the past had really scared it.

A mortal had slain a demonic dragon that was even stronger than himself.

This was beyond its understanding.

Jiang Lan stood up with his sword in hand. He looked at the demonic dragon and slowly raised his sword.

At this moment, the surface of the lake was surging. The wind and rain were mixed together, and lightning was wreaking havoc.

The powerful movement even alarmed those around the lake.

By the lake, Lu Jian saw Jiang Lan stand up with a wooden sword in his hand.

Sword Intent appeared in his hand.

At this moment, the surface of the lake began to surge as the demonic dragon appeared within.

Both sides seemed to be in a deadlock.

Everyone looked over.

They had no idea what was going on.

However, they knew that this Junior Brother had been sitting by the lake for months.

It was fine if he did not move, but once he moved, he seemed to be able to amaze the world.

Xiao Yu stood up and took two steps back.

Had Junior Brother comprehended it?

At this moment, Jiang Lan’s vitality surged towards the wooden sword. The Dragon Slaying Sword became increasingly terrifying.

The vitality in Jiang Lan’s body was decreasing, but he didn’t notice it at all. It was as if he was wholeheartedly comprehending this sword.

Xiao Yu frowned when she saw this.

She raised the Dragon Slaying Sword Intent sword on her hands without any hesitation.

At this moment, an even stronger Dragon Slaying Sword appeared.

It directly faced the demonic dragon.

Sensing the two Dragon Slaying Sword Intents, the demonic dragon was a little afraid.

This was especially so when his opponent started to attack.

The outcome of that senior was still vivid in its mind.

“Human, the day I escape will be the day I pay you a visit. You will pay the price for your rudeness.”

Then he stopped thinking or talking.

The demonic dragon turned around and began to flee from the Heart Realm Lake.

Seeing the demonic dragon escape, Xiao Yu heaved a sigh of relief. She was also going to leave this place.

Jiang Lan was still holding his sword.

After the demonic dragon left, the power of this strike began to disappear.

Vitality flowed back into his body.

A moment later, he put down his sword.

“You have comprehended it?”

He was uncertain for a moment, but it was indeed different from before. He was wholeheartedly focused on the Dragon Slaying Sword.

It was as if he had transformed into a sword that could slay all demonic dragons.

However, he could only slash once in his life.

This was because he had to use his own life to give the Dragon Slaying Sword the power to break through the shackles.

“I feel that even if I were to risk my life, I wouldn’t be able to kill this demonic dragon.”

There was still a gap between him and the old farmer. This difference could not be made up with his life.

Perhaps it was because of his comprehension of heaven and earth, or perhaps it was because the old farmer was the one who had created this path.

However, he was different from the old farmer.

He had cultivation.

After comprehending the true intent of the Dragon Slaying Sword, the power of his Dragon Slaying Saber now was incomparable to before.

Dragons of the same realm as him were no longer his match.

Even if he did not use the Power of Nine Bulls.

Crossing realms should be very difficult, but it was possible.

By risking his life, he could slay any dragon below the Immortal Realm.

The effect of this sword should be stronger than the Power of Nine Bulls now.

However, there was no need to risk his life when he had the Power of Nine Bulls.

Jiang Lan opened his eyes.

Jiang Lan heard a voice the moment he opened her eyes.

“Junior Brother, Junior Sister, there’s something I need to tell you two.”
