I have seen dragons

Chapter 45: Time for the Killing

Ji Yang raised his head and looked up along the mountain crevice. He could see the brilliant starlight between the two rocky gaps, unobstructed by the trees.

He felt a sense of bewilderment.

Can you hear the brightest star in the night sky?

The person looking up feels loneliness and sighs in their heart.

After thinking quietly for a while, he finally uttered a bewildered mutter, "Damn it! What on earth is going on?"

Until tonight, he had always thought that, objectively speaking, he was at least one of the top young cultivators in Jiangcheng City, if not the best in the world.

Even when he encountered a monster he couldn't defeat, he didn't lose confidence. It's normal for the production team to have some oversights; they might have accidentally let in a monster with excessive power.

But other people have also encountered this and won easily, which is a bit strange.

He was almost killed instantly by that roe deer demon, and that roe deer demon was almost killed instantly by Yue Wen. If you calculate it this way, wouldn't Yue Wen be able to kill him sixty times in the time it takes to fart?
If the comparison were with Liu Yuanjun, he could barely accept it, after all, he'd heard since childhood about the immortal boy from Xuanfeng Temple. But Yue Wen was just a rogue cultivator! He'd painstakingly practiced the Shadow Profound Divine Power for so many years, only to have his head trampled by this wandering cultivator, and then witnessed by hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream…

Should I just die?
The moment this thought arose, a tremor ran through his heart, as if he had vaguely resonated with someone from afar.

But he is not someone who gets discouraged easily.

After a while, his mind started to pick up again.

Battles are unpredictable, and many factors can determine victory or defeat. Perhaps that roe deer demon simply possessed keen senses that happened to counter his own supernatural abilities. And what supernatural abilities did Yue Wen possess that happened to counter that roe deer demon?

It's also possible that the roe deer appeared uninjured during the battle, but in reality, it had been internally injured, thus weakening its combat power by a hundredfold.

It's all uncertain.

The sample size is too small to support a conclusion.

"Phew—" He exhaled a breath of stale air. "I can't be discouraged. I have to prove myself."

Proving yourself is simple: just fight your way through, crushing all the monsters you see, and you'll prove that what happened before was just an accident.

With that thought in mind, he walked out of the mountain crevice.

Just then, the new bee-like insect sent by the production team arrived. The yellow insect's wings vibrated rapidly but made no sound as it flew over with a camera lens the size of a capsule attached to it.

Thinking back to the moment before the camera disappeared, he realized that he was being badly beaten by the roe deer demon, which must have been seen by many viewers.

Ji Yang tilted her head back and pointed at the camera with one finger.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there was a slight mishap earlier. I apologize for startling you." His expression was utterly cold. "Give me another chance, and I will show you my full power. Younger viewers, please watch with your parents... because, it's time for the killing!"

With that, he strode forward.

He was thinking that once this screen recording went viral online, he would then add a series of edits showing him slaughtering monsters later.

He's incredibly handsome.

He hadn't walked more than a few steps when he felt a foul wind blowing from ahead. He leaped onto the high platform and saw a half-transformed tiger dressed in a suit emerging from the mountain path below.

"A tiger demon?" Ji Yang stared intently at it.

Although it looked a bit strange for a demon to be dressed in a suit and tie, he wasn't surprised after seeing a roe deer demon in work clothes carrying a wrench earlier. It's true that some demons in the wasteland wear human clothing, because cultivators often die outside, and their belongings are naturally stolen by demons.

This tiger demon in a suit is none other than Huang Dahu, who is searching for Yue Wen.

He heard the roe deer brothers calling from afar and thought he would go and see what was happening. As he passed by, he happened to sense the presence of a living person and decided to come closer to see if it was his target.

Upon seeing Ji Yang step forward and realizing that he wasn't one of their targets, Huang Dahu quickly said, "No offense intended, let's go our separate ways."

"Heh." Ji Yang sneered, "If I had seen you before, I might have let you go. But you've run into me now, so you can only consider yourself unlucky."

At this moment, his killing intent was already made up.

We must personally redeem ourselves for the embarrassment we caused Hidden Dragon Pool!
After saying that, he spun around and transformed into a rain of fire, his attack was powerful and fierce, shooting towards Huang Dahu!
Huang Dahu frowned. It wasn't that he was afraid of this human cultivator, but based on his understanding of humans over the years, this young cultivator was likely backed by a series of sects and families. Killing him rashly might lead to a situation where "the older generation comes after the younger one."

That's why he was unwilling to take action.

But since Ji Yang attacked first, he couldn't just sit idly by. Feeling Ji Yang's rain of fire, Huang Dahu assumed a fighting stance and suddenly closed his eyes.

Bang bang bang bang!

In the blink of an eye, more than ten sparks shot out and exploded on his body, Huang Dahu's suit was torn to shreds on the spot, and his colorful tiger fur was also charred and burned.

After withstanding a round of attacks, Huang Dahu suddenly opened his eyes and roared, "Roar!"

Chirp chirp chirp —

After a period of gathering its strength, it suddenly erupted with a surge of electric light that surrounded it and covered an area of ​​ten meters in radius, within which the silver dragon roamed, with nowhere to escape.

The sky was engulfed in a rain of fire, sparks exploded everywhere, and a figure suddenly appeared amidst the swirling flames.

Ji Yang was forced to reveal his true form, and was still somewhat dazed, but his first reaction was to retreat and create distance. This tiger demon actually knew martial arts techniques, even more exaggerated than the previous roe deer demon! The roe deer demon could only wield a wrench at most.

But Huang Dahu didn't give him that chance. He stomped his right foot and unleashed his fist, which shot out like an arrow!
Boom! A fist wrapped in electric arcs slammed heavily into Ji Yang's chest, sending him flying dozens of meters away and crashing into several large trees!

They crashed over there, kicking up clouds of dust; their fates are unknown.

Huang Dahu glanced at him but didn't finish him off. He was there to kill Yue Wen and didn't want any unnecessary trouble; this passerby was insignificant in comparison.

After dealing with Ji Yang, it turned around and rushed back towards the direction where the roe deer brothers had made their calls.

……

On the other hand, the roe deer brothers are in a much worse situation.

The eldest roe deer was being chased by Yue Wen, while the second roe deer was being chased by Zhao Xing'er. The two brothers simultaneously roared for help and ended up meeting up.

But now there are two formidable enemies.

They were one in front and one behind, blocking the way to run.

This is where the importance of advanced language becomes apparent. While shouting is convenient and can convey simple emotions, it cannot explain the enemy's situation.

If it were Long Yan, he could describe the enemy's height, weight, and build with a single shout, and even deliver a will along the way. Upon learning of each other's situation, the two brothers might have gone their separate ways, at least having a chance to escape.

Yue Wen caught up with the giant roe deer and found that the roe deer demon had split into two. Just as he was hesitating whether to continue fighting, he noticed that smoke and dust filled the sky and Zhao Xing'er's figure also appeared.

He then realized that Erpao had also been chased here.

Seeing Zhao Xing'er with the faint red glow, he immediately understood.

He turned to look around. He had traveled too fast, and his bee-like camera seemed to have fallen behind. He wasn't sure if he could catch up. So he didn't rush to make a move and stood still to wait for Zhao Xing'er to come over.

"What should we do, big brother?" Erpao was already on the verge of tears. Zhao Xing'er's hammer blow had cracked its body, making it completely terrified. "This woman is too stupid! She said I disturbed her sleep, and then she smashed me like this with one hammer."

The big roe deer was covered in blood, but it was not as badly injured as the second roe deer. Seeing its brother like this, it had a better understanding of the enemy's fighting strength.

"Don't panic, let me handle the negotiations." It tried to remain calm and steadied the two roe deer.

Then, ignoring Yue Wen's side, it stepped forward and blocked Zhao Xing'er, who was rushing towards it.

"Run! Why did you stop?" Zhao Xing'er stopped the car, looked up and saw that the roe deer demon had turned into two. She immediately said, "So there are two roe deer that are so silly."

She arrived just as quickly, leaving the bee and insect camera behind her far behind, nowhere in sight.

From the audience's perspective, all they see is a chaotic and turbulent jungle. It's clear the little wasps, having lost their target, are truly panicked; their six wings are practically smoking from flapping. It's not that they aren't flying fast enough; it's just that these humans are too fast.

"Hmph—" Upon hearing Zhao Xing'er's words, the roe deer's eyes reddened, and it was about to bare its teeth.

"Big brother." Erpao immediately showed him his wound.

"Phew." The roe deer took a deep breath and smiled. "Hello, beautiful lady."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xing'er frowned, looking at them and then at Yue Wen over there, not quite sure what was going on.

“I’m so sorry my brother disturbed your rest. As its older brother, I apologize on its behalf.” The roe deer’s tone even became more refined. “We have no intention of being your enemy. We only came here to kill that person!”

As it spoke, it pointed to Yue Wen behind it, "and his assistant."

"So, can you please not interfere in our feud?"

His idea was simple: first, persuade one of the powerful enemies to retreat, and then the two brothers could work together to deal with the target.

This situation often occurs in the wasteland. When three demonic beasts are facing off, it's crucial to prioritize and avoid being surrounded. Zhao Xing'er, being relatively more ruthless and less hostile, naturally became the one he tried to persuade to retreat.

Faced with Da Pao's question, Zhao Xing'er revealed a confused expression behind her mask, "Do you have a grudge against that person... and his assistant?"

"Of course!" The roe deer knew it was time to gain her sympathy, so it whispered, "Those two are absolutely wicked. They killed our parents and relatives, and they didn't even spare the baby roe deer that was just a month old!"

"And it even stole my food! Half a chicken leg I just found in the trash can!" Erpao said, revealing what it considered the most delicious thing in the world.

“And you even raped my wife, a beautiful female roe deer!” the roe deer said.

"They even pluck our antlers, grind them into powder, and sell them as deer antlers," said Erpao.

"They even cut off the old roe deer's arms and then smear itching powder on their backs!"

Zhao Xing'er: "..."

"So, we'll definitely fight this enemy to the death." After feigning weakness, the roe deer displayed its toughness again. "Even someone as powerful as you wouldn't want to face two furious monsters fighting to the death, right? So, leaving here might be the best option?"

Zhao Xing'er looked at them and a subtle smile appeared on her face.

Before she could speak, a joyful shout suddenly came from the other side.

"You two really are here!" A tiger demon with completely black fur crawled up from under the trees. "You scared me to death! Seeing you two makes me feel relieved. Hey, why do you two look so miserable?"
