Bitter Realm: A Happy Person Traveling Across China

The last sentence was a sharp roar!

Immediately afterward, Mad Dragon laughed, completely tearing away the disguise of madness, and attacked in a rage!

With a flick of his wrist, a dark shadow shot out like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair!

It is his signature weapon – the Reverse Scale Chain Blade!

The blade was long and curved, covered with barbs like reverse scales, and the end was connected to a thin and tough iron chain. In his hands, it was like a living thing, with a shrill sound of cutting through the air. The blade light was like a bolt of lightning, or like a venomous snake spitting its tongue. The angle was tricky and ruthless, aiming straight for Ye Jinming's vital points!

Ye Jinming's eyes narrowed, knowing that he had reached the limit of his ability to stall with words.

Facing a master like Kuanglong, holding back even slightly would mean certain death.

He said no more, closed his right fan, and casually swept it to his waist—

"Clang!"

The amazing sword is drawn!

The sword light flashed like cold lightning, slicing through the night sky; the clear, resonant sword cry drowned out the sound of the chain blade cutting through the wind.

Without any elaborate tricks, Ye Jinming immediately unleashed his ultimate move – Sword Flowing Light!

A single sword strike, swifter than lightning!

The sword light was condensed into a single line, striking first despite being delayed, and hitting the most vulnerable part of the Reverse Scale Chain Blade with unparalleled precision in the middle of the blade!

"bite--"

When swords clash, it's not the clang of metal against metal, but a sharp, piercing tremor, with sparks flying everywhere!

Centered on the point of contact, a visible ring of air burst out!

A layer of ground was scraped away, and dust mixed with gravel shot outwards in a radial pattern!

As the heavens and earth trembled, the clouds in the night sky above seemed to be stirred up by this opposing force, dimming the moonlight!

The heavens are filled with sorrow and the earth is desolate; the sun and moon have lost their light!

At the center of the shockwave, the two figures separated after a brief contact.

With a laugh, Kuanglong swayed slightly and slid back half a step, each step leaving a deep footprint on the hard ground. The Reverse Scale Chain Blade in his hand hummed softly, but the madness on his face intensified, and the killing intent in his eyes gradually rose.

Ye Jinming used the momentum to drift backward, retreating several steps before he could dissipate the surging force and stabilize himself.

What a thunderous laugh from the mad dragon! No wonder he is a top-tier master comparable to Yama Hanba and Lian Emei!

Its foundation is so deep and its strength so formidable that it far exceeds expectations.

Although he had the Dragon Essence to enhance him, he was still inferior to him in terms of pure burst damage and foundation.

Seeing the mad dragon laugh and its eyes flash with ferocity again, and the reverse-scale chain blade about to attack once more, Ye Jinming's mind raced, and he spoke again before the dragon could make a move.

This time, his voice was not loud, but it carried a strange penetrating power, pointing directly to the deepest fear and obsession in Kuanglong's heart: "Chief of the sins, you should think carefully before you make your move."

The mad dragon paused slightly, its reverse scales hovering in mid-air.

Ye Jinming continued, his words calm yet piercing: "If I die here today, a pre-prepared letter will immediately fly to Baiyun Mountain. Tell me, if that person sees your collaboration with Yanmo Hanba against Lianyunren, what do you think he will do? And once that person arrives, he'll be by Lianyunren's side every day..."

"Enough!" Kuanglong laughed, his temper flaring up instantly. He was like a lizard whose tail had been stepped on, instantly descending into extreme chaos and rage!

His facial expressions shifted wildly between madness, pain, fear, and violence, and his energy leaked out uncontrollably, blasting craters into the ground.

The Reverse Scale Chain Blade was wildly swung in his hand, emitting a shrill sound as it cut through the air, but it had lost all its rhythm and technique.

But just a few breaths later, this extreme chaos receded like the tide.

Kuanglong abruptly stopped all movement, standing still, panting heavily. His crazed eyes were fixed on Ye Jinming, the killing intent within them almost tangible, yet it was suppressed by a deeper, twisted fear.

He suddenly tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile more painful than a grimace, his voice hoarse: "You really are... so cunning and despicable!"

Ye Jinming sheathed his sword, calmly straightened his slightly disheveled sleeves, and replied indifferently, "Compared to your acting skills, which are so skillful and indistinguishable from reality, culprit, my little bit of scheming is probably far inferior."

"Hmph!" Mad Dragon laughed loudly and snorted heavily, then with a "whoosh," the Reverse Scale Chain Blade was retracted.

He circled Ye Jinming halfway, his eyes flickering, before finally stopping and asking in a strange, resentful tone:

"So, according to you... not only can I not kill you now, but I also have to protect you and make sure you don't die? Otherwise, that letter will fly to Baiyun Mountain and ruin my grand plan? Is that what you mean? Hmm?"

He grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, and suddenly kicked a huge rock next to him. With a loud crash, the rock turned into dust.

Ye Jinming smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying, simply looking at him quietly, his eyes seeming to say, "What do you think?"

The cold moonlight shone on the devastated battlefield in the canyon, and also on the two people, one calm and the other mad, with an eerie atmosphere.

The murderous intent had not dissipated, but it had already quietly changed.

After a pause, Kuanglong laughed and changed his expression again, clapping his hands and saying, "Hahaha, protecting people is good, I like protecting people the most."

While clapping his hands, Kuanglong leaned closer to Ye Jinming, winking and coaxing him, "How about it? Want to come back to the Pit of Sin with me! With me protecting you, no amount of Yama or Hanba, no matter what other demon realm, will be able to touch you! How about it? Think about it! This chief sinner will personally be your bodyguard!"

Ye Jinming elegantly covered the lower half of his face with the black fan in his hand, revealing only a pair of calm and unwavering eyes.

Behind the fan, a cold smile played on his lips.

Return to the pit of sin? Venture into the tiger's den?

I'm afraid that as soon as I go in, this madman will either kill me under the guise of 'protection,' or sell me to the demon realm for even greater profits.

"I appreciate your kind offer, Chief Sinner," Ye Jinming's voice drifted through the fan, carrying a perfectly measured distance and consideration. "However, a visit to the Pit of Sin is out of the question. I'm used to a life of leisure and cannot bear constraints. But a collaboration to slay the demon is worth discussing! Once Yama and Drought Demon are dead, won't I be safe?"

Mad Dragon became even more excited after hearing this. He cupped his hands around his heart, making a dreamy gesture with an exaggerated and comical expression: "That's wonderful! If I... Mad Dragon, the Lord of the Pit of Sin, laughs and personally eliminates the Otherworldly Demon Lord who threatens the Bitter Realm, wow! Wouldn't I become a great hero who saves all living beings? A truly good person! Then, my sister will definitely look at me with new eyes! She'll be so happy! Right? Right?!"

He stared intently at Ye Jinming, as if seeking affirmation.

Nightfallen chatted merrily with Mad Dragon, "The chief culprit has insightful views. If you can truly eliminate Yama Drought Demon, then Yunren will look at you with new respect!"

At that moment, the Mad Dragon's expression changed again, and he wept bitterly, "But Little Baba is my dearest friend and family, sob sob sob, I can't bring myself to do it..."
