Chapter 195 My Heart is Like a Dragon, outdated version

Broken streets, bloody sunsets, and burning city ruins emitting black smoke.

Looking at the corpse being torn into pieces in front of him and hearing the screams of terror coming from all directions, Wang Xinlong's face turned slightly ugly.

He was wearing a simple gray cloth shorts, his strong arms were exposed in the bloody sunset, and the skin exposed from the shoulders down was covered with intricate scars. The cold wind mixed with the smell of blood blew slowly, and Wang Xinlong's gray hair was blown up by the wind.

He narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.

On the wide street, several disciples of the Demon Suppression Division dressed in white suddenly moved to the sides as if they had seen their saviors.

boom!
The ground shook violently.

A burly, dark-haired demon with messy hair appeared at the corner.

This demon was roughly humanoid, wearing a simple coarse cloth robe. He was over three meters tall, a head taller than the walls of the houses on both sides of the street. He had a lot of hair on his body, especially his long hair, which was tied into dreadlocks and bloomed like a lion.

It is indeed a real lion.

Golden pupils, a confident and majestic look on his face, and cruel fangs bared from his black lips.

Seeing that familiar yet strange face, Wang Xinlong felt as if he was in another world.

He got the news from the Demon Suppression Division.

It was said that demons appeared in a small town called Wei County in Baihua County and needed support. As usual, without any hesitation, Wang Xinlong rushed over immediately. The Demon Suppression Division was roughly divided into two factions: Demon Suppression and Demon Slaying. The former focused on defense, while the latter focused on attack.

Ever since Wang Xinlong was taken in and joined the Demon Suppression Division, he has been fighting on the front line.

This time is of course no exception.

However, the opponent in front of him surprised Wang Xinlong deeply.

"Lion King Babek" is a somewhat unfamiliar name, but he has been a shadow lingering in Baihua County for the past hundred years. He was once the founder of the Heavenly Demon Alliance, one of the three major forces in Baihua County. He is the oldest of the seven demon kings and is also the most powerful one.

And now...

The Heavenly Demon Alliance has become history, but its founder is still alive.

And he appeared in front of Wang Xinlong so suddenly.

"I remember you." Babek's lips curled up slightly, and a confident and aggressive smile appeared on his face. "You are the little brat who followed Li Daoxuan. Where is Li Daoxuan? How is he now?"

"He is dead."

The face of his mentor flashed through his mind, and Wang Xinlong felt a stinging pain in his heart.

But his feelings were buried deep in his heart and never showed. Wang Xinlong said in an almost cold voice, "His era is over, and so is yours."

"No, you are wrong." Babek squinted his eyes and looked up at the setting sun in the western sky.

His lush beard and mane all flew back in the breeze.

Even though he was surrounded by a group of Demon Suppression Division masters, Babek did not show any nervousness. His condescending gaze was like he was looking at a group of ants under his feet. Only when his gaze fell on Wang Xinlong would there be a little more appreciation in Babek's dark golden pupils.

"From now on, my era has just begun." Babek was trimming his nails, and his confident and cold voice came from the wind.

"Your era, haha!" Wang Xinlong let out a sarcastic laugh from his throat, "You've been away from Baihua County for too long, don't you know what happened here?"

"You mean the demise of the Heavenly Demon Alliance? Of course I know that." Babek said disapprovingly, "It was just an organization I casually created. After I left, the Heavenly Demon Alliance was destroyed, proving that the remaining demons are not worthy of being my followers."

"For more than ten years, I have been practicing in Hunxi Mountain. I saw another vast world and incredible wonders. Now I am back to establish a new order here." Babek stretched out a sharp nail and pointed it at Wang Xinlong, like a high king rewarding his slave, "Kneel down and swear allegiance to me. I can leave a place for you in this order."

"Babek, you are still as proud as before." Wang Xinlong sighed, took out the white bandage from his arms, and wrapped it around his hands, first around his wrists, then around his five fingers, and finally around his fists.

After doing all this, Wang Xinlong opened and clenched his ten fingers, stretched his arms on the spot, jumped lightly twice, adjusted his breathing, and improved his condition to the best.

"If you are willing to spend a little more time and take a closer look at these years..."

Wang Xinlong suddenly realized something was wrong.

It has only been about half a year since Su Heng joined the Demon Suppression Division, but the series of things that have happened in the meantime are like a sea change. So he changed his expression and continued, "What on earth has happened in Baihua County during this period? You will realize how foolish your self-confidence is."

"What else could it be? It's just a fight between some ants." Babek still had a nonchalant expression on his face. "You humans have an old saying, 'How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?' It's the same with you. You don't understand the level I'm standing at now."

"Go ahead." Babek narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I'll give you a chance to challenge me."

"hehe--"

Wang Xinlong sneered, and the ground exploded with a bang.

The air wave rose, and the earth walls on both sides collapsed outwards. The smoke and dust obscured the red light of the setting sun. With a mighty force, Wang Xinlong had already punched Babek between the eyebrows. This punch was extremely swift, breaking the sound barrier, with the roar of a dragon and a tiger. Before the afterimage had dissipated, the mad dragon-like punch had already landed on Babek.

However, facing such a violent attack, Babek simply bent his finger forward and shot it——

boom!
The terrifying attack was averted.

The air was squeezed and exploded, forming a spectacular sight of white silk threads.

Wang Xinlong flew backwards at an even faster speed, knocking down several buildings in succession. Like a burning blade, it split the large urban area in two. Smoke and dust billowed like a dragon, spreading all the way to the end of the field of vision, and finally ended with a "bang" that knocked down the city wall.

Babek raised his head and yawned, then pointed his sharp fingers at the shocked disciples of the Demon Suppression Division. To a demon like him, humans were such weak creatures.

If he moved just a few times, his bones and tendons would be broken and he would die on the spot.

"Roar!"

A look of surprise appeared on Babek's face.

Glancing sideways, he saw large pieces of bricks and stones exploded from the ruined city wall, and Wang Xinlong's inhumanly swollen body jumped out of it. His body was covered with a lot of scarlet hair like steel needles, his muscles were bulging, and his eyes were unnaturally blood red.

With a leap and a whistling sound, he appeared in front of Babek again in the blink of an eye and slapped him on the head.

Snapped!
Babek raised his hand to block.

With a crisp sound, a sharp pain ran along Babek's arm.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, dodged Wang Xinlong's claws, and a look of realization appeared on his face, "The secret method of the Eight Tyrant Dragons, you are burning your own life."

Another fierce punch, this time Babek did not dodge, but countered with an elbow.

Fists and elbows collided, Babek's burly body stood still, while Wang Xinlong's fist twisted unnaturally, bleeding and staining the bandage on the fist dark red. Wang Xinlong's expression became colder and his style changed instantly, from bold and open to mysterious and hidden.

But it's still useless -

"You are too old." Babek said coldly, "You should be able to realize the gap between you and me. Give up. You can't hurt me."

Wang Xinlong was still swinging his fists, his expression remained unchanged, but scenes in his memory flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.

In the Hong Family Fortress, when Li Daoxuan was attacked and stabbed, he was powerless and watched helplessly; when Su Heng killed Hong Jiuxiang and his son to avenge Li Daoxuan, he stood among the crowd. When the Alligator King raised a tide to submerge his hometown and the city where he had lived for a hundred years, he could only stand aside and feel despair.

After Li Daoxuan's death, he woke up from nightmares many times in the middle of the night, as if he had returned to the bloody battlefield again.

If he was stronger, if he could take charge of the situation in time after Li Daoxuan was injured, then would his mentor no longer have to drag his injured body to perform secret techniques and lead them out of the trap?

If he was stronger, then when the Alligator King was stirring up the tide, could he have done more instead of just standing by and watching? But now, when the Skull Original army was approaching the city and the people of Jiangzhou were in a panic, he could only stand by like an ant.

He hated this feeling of powerlessness, so he didn't want to waste a moment.

Work harder and harder, work harder and harder!
He did not choose to merge with the demon body, as he was already quite old. At the same age, Zhou Guiyu had already started to take care of his younger generations and enjoy family life. But he had nothing. He held a high position but had no wives or concubines, no offspring, and even only two or three friends.

Devote all your time, energy and will to martial arts.

Someone told him not to work so hard. He was already over a hundred years old and had long passed the age of knowing his destiny. He should know that his limit was already here. His bones, understanding, and experiences in his youth, all of these had formed an invisible hand that locked him tightly.

Even if he puts in a hundred percent of effort, he won't get any reward. He should learn to accept his fate and make plans for the future.

But he was unwilling to give up just like that.

If he fell on the battlefield or in the training ground, it only meant that this body had reached its limit and was no longer worthy of his iron will. If he chose to give up, that would be a real failure. He had worked hard and struggled for a hundred years, was he willing to fall at this last step! ?

Not reconciled!
"Roar!" With an angry and twisted roar, his muscles swelled and burst.

It was as if all the anger, resentment, and regrets in his life had turned into a blazing flame, condensed in this punch, and fiercely punched forward. His pupils were torn scarlet, his white hair was flying, and the violent and exaggerated iron fist was faster than the lion king's reaction, like a heavy artillery hitting a city wall, landing heavily on the tip of Babek's nose.

With a crisp "crack" sound, Babek's nose became crooked and blood oozed from his nostrils.

A look of astonishment appeared on his bloodstained face, and then his hair stood up like a raging flame, and a black smoke screen rose up into the sky, covering the sky. The breath of the death-level demon was like a tidal wave, causing the sky to change, but it could not hide the distortion and humiliation on Babek's face -

"How dare you, a mere insect?" His face was filled with shock and anger, without the dignity he pretended to have before.

Wang Xinlong was covered in wounds. The punch just now almost drained all his energy.

In the roaring wind, Wang Xinlong leaned against a collapsed earth wall, staggered and fell to the ground, legs apart. His lips and teeth were stained with blood, and his white hair was messy, but looking at the angry lion king Babek, Wang Xinlong's face was full of a happy smile, "You are just a demon, you will never amount to anything."

"Die." Babek's eyes were bloodshot. He raised his hand and pressed it down. "My patience is exhausted."

puff!

Blood spurted out, dyeing the sunset red.

It didn't come from Wang Xinlong who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, but from himself.

His left arm was broken at the elbow and disappeared. The blood gushed out and dyed his clothes and hair red, forming a bloody pool on the ground.

The hideous and twisted anger on Babek's face gradually solidified and turned into astonishment. He suddenly raised his head and looked far ahead.

On the collapsed city wall in the distance, an incredibly sturdy figure was sitting there casually. One of his feet was crossed in front of him, and the other foot was casually hanging down along the city wall, like a Buddha sitting in a temple.

His long hair was loose and he had a relaxed and confident look on his face. His left hand hung in front of his knees and his right hand was holding an insignificant stone.

Babek slowly lowered his head and saw a blood-stained stone in the hole formed by the explosion in the ground.

A thousand meters away——

Use an ordinary stone to cut open the body of the death-level demon.

How could there be such a monster in Baihua County! ?
