With half a game of chess, I vanquish all demons!

On the wilderness.

bang~

Zhao Yao, whose height had reached the peak of a demigod, fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, creating a large crater and sending dust and gravel flying everywhere.

Call ~

The demonic dragon Yunchi flew through the air, its mouth wide open, spewing out billowing cold air that swept across the ground, freezing the grass and trees in its wake and covering the ground with a layer of white frost.

bang~

The ground inside the crater shattered again.

Zhao Yao's figure soared into the sky, shattering the ice layer that had formed on his back. The remaining ice shards on his body glittered in the sunlight, leaving Yun Chi far behind once again.

Not far away, on the desolate trade road, pedestrians stood frozen in place, staring at this scene, all speechless. Some opened their mouths wide and couldn't speak, while others didn't even notice that their goods had fallen to the ground.

A true dragon appears and battles a giant—a truly rare sight.

"That...that's a dragon?"

"Run!"

"What the hell are you yelling about? You're far enough away, it won't kill you to just look..."

Several daring young men in the caravan craned their necks to look around, their eyes filled with both fear and excitement.

bang~

Zhao Yao landed, glanced at the group, frowned slightly, and jumped again.

With his exceptional eyesight, he scanned the surroundings in the air and continued fleeing in the direction where no one was around, unwilling to drag innocent people into the fight.

bang~

On the desolate land, one large pit after another, separated by a great distance, are connected in a line, like the footprints of a giant.

As the dragon pearl inside his body was digested, the cloud dragon chased faster and faster, its tail swinging more and more rapidly behind him, and its icy breath began to cover Zhao Yao's entire body.

Call ~

A white, chilling aura surged forth like a raging torrent.

bang~

Zhao Yao's eyes suddenly turned into bright yellow vertical pupils, and star flames ignited around him, enveloping him in red flames that burned away the ice all over his body. He leaped into the sky again, and the flames and cold air collided in the air, evaporating a large cloud of white mist.

No, if this continues, she'll catch up with me sooner or later!

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his head in mid-air to look at Yun Chi, a black light flashing in his eyes.

"Thumbology: Charm!"

"Yun Chi, I command you..."

Zhao Yao gave the order in a deep voice, his tone carrying an undeniable allure.

The demonic dragon Yunchi, which was chasing forward, suddenly froze in mid-air, its dragon eyes instantly turning black.

Before Zhao Yao could finish giving the order, her face contorted in a violent struggle, and the darkness in her dragon eyes quickly faded, as she broke free from the demon's control.

Zhao Yao noticed that Yun Chi had broken free from the demonic influence, his pupils contracted, and he quickly realized what was happening.

The reason why the demon was able to seduce Yun Chi before was because it was a dream world, and the two were connected spiritually, so Yun Chi was less vigilant.

Now that the Cloud Dragon Demon's physical body is here, its resistance has greatly increased, and it is no longer something he can manipulate at will.

Even so, this bewitching attack successfully kept her behind, gaining valuable distance.

"Ugh~~"

When Yun Chi came to its senses, it saw the distance between the two widening and roared angrily, the sound of its dragon roar causing the ground stones to tremble.

Then, she followed suit and unleashed a strange technique on Zhao Yao, a cold glint flashing in her dragon eyes.

"A wondrous technique, the Dream Awakening!"

Yun Chi's spirit split in two, one part exploring the dream world, and the other gazing ahead, eagerly waiting for Zhao Yao to remain in place.

Thud~~

Zhao Yao landed, creating a large crater, and without even stopping, immediately bounced far away without a moment's hesitation.

"Um?"

Yun Chi was stunned, its mouth slightly open, its eyes full of confusion.

She gazed at Zhao Yao, who was constantly jumping ahead, and was completely baffled.

Why? Why was he still able to move normally even after the dream-connecting ritual was successful?

A portion of her spiritual power watched Zhao Yao appear before her in the dream world. To avoid being controlled by that true demonic magic, she immediately waved her claws to dispel the dream.

bang~

On the desolate land, Zhao Yao was still leaping and running away.

Deep within his soul, on the shattered jade chessboard, Zhao Yi stood at the edge of the board, eyes closed, lost in a dream, a half-smile on his face, as if he were having a good dream.

He had been on the run, not because he was truly unable to defeat Yun Chi, but because he was choosing a suitable location as the battlefield for slaying the dragon.

With his superhuman vision, he kept looking around for a quiet, undisturbed place where he could leave immediately afterward.

Finally, he perked up and, while scanning the area, found the location he wanted.

"Phew~"

From a distance, Yun Chi unleashed another icy breath, its dragon mouth wide open, white vapor cascading down on Zhao Yao.

Before the ice could freeze, the Starfire was already burning fiercely on Zhao Yao's body, the red flames like his clothes, canceling out the icy breath and evaporating a large amount of white mist that rose up like a surging sea of ​​clouds.

bang~

Zhao Yao leaped into the air and fled towards his desired destination, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

Yun Chi followed closely behind, her anxiety gradually dissipating, and her dragon tail swayed more leisurely. She realized that as she absorbed Ao Shuang's dragon pearl, her speed and strength were both increasing.

Catching up with Zhao Yao is only a matter of time.

Gradually, Zhao Yao also noticed that Yun Chi's speed was getting faster and faster.

His heart sank, and he immediately revealed his demonic form.

His canine teeth protruded, his eyes turned into bright yellow vertical pupils, his skin became rough and thick, and black iron feathers grew on one half of his body, while golden-red monkey hair grew on the other half.

It has an iron-feathered wing on its back, and a scorpion-hooked tail extending from its tailbone, with a ball of black flame rising from the tip of the tail.

Its body, which was already nearly 20 meters tall, grew even taller, increasing by another four or five meters, breaking the 20-meter mark, and casting an even larger shadow.

bang~

The ground exploded, and rubble flew like bullets. Zhao Yao, in his demonic form, soared into the sky, jumping higher and farther than before, almost touching the clouds.

bang~

His body became heavy, and he jumped more frequently, leaving deeper and larger craters in the ground with each step.

Yun Chi gazed at him from afar, its once calm gaze suddenly twisting into a venomous and twisted expression, its dragon eyes bloodshot and its scales bristling.

She screamed:

"Zhao Yao, stop right there!"

"Miraculous Technique: Dragon's Might Subdues the Gods!"

Huff—

An immense pressure emanated from the dragon's body in the air, spreading outwards in all directions, as if the air itself had solidified.

In an instant, Zhao Yao collapsed to the ground in a large crater ahead, his flesh and bones limp.

"Grass……"

He knelt on one knee, his hands braced in the mud, his muscles tense but unable to exert any strength.

Move!

He gritted his teeth and struggled with all his might, veins bulging on his forehead, trying to jump again, but to no avail.

"How could this happen..."

Seeing this from behind, Yun Chi was stunned for a moment, his dragon eyes widened, and then he was overjoyed. He opened his dragon mouth and revealed his sharp white teeth.

It was because Aoshuang's dragon pearl was digested by her that her dragon power greatly increased, resulting in this effect!

"Ugh~~"

She let out an excited murmur, flicked her dragon tail in the air, and her dragon body shot forward like an arrow.

Zhao Yao turned his head and glared at Yun Chi, his eyes flickering with transparent flames.

Burning with lust!

The Acacia Monkey's supernatural powers cause burning desire: those who are being watched will feel their desires ignite, becoming unbearably thirsty and unable to release their pent-up desires.

Yun Chi sensed the change within his body, his eyes widened in terror, and his forward-rushing body abruptly stopped.

She tightened her dragon tail, shuddered, and felt her scales ripple like waves, thinking that she had been controlled by that true demonic magic again.

In the short time he gained, Zhao Yao used a wisp of magic power and, relying on his incredible strength, directly found a solution.

His various demonic features quickly faded away; his iron feathers, scales, and scorpion hooks receded like a tide, leaving only the ape-like creature.

"Primordial Qi, unite!"

He yielded to the desires brought by the blood of the Acacia Ape Demon, transforming Zhao Yi into tiny figures of primordial energy, which were then continuously absorbed into the blood of the Acacia Ape Demon!

Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~…

A jade-colored halo burst open one after another, radiating a dazzling brilliance.

When the light faded, Zhao Yao had changed his appearance.

His eyes were narrow and sinister, with flickering transparent flames. His body was covered with golden-red monkey fur beneath his yellow jade armor, and his tail had transformed into a thick monkey tail that swung flexibly behind him.

Its entire appearance resembles a giant ape clad in armor, majestic yet exuding an indescribable evil aura.

Boom!

A burning desire raged within him, engulfing his entire body. Transparent flames licked at his jade-colored armor, also burning away the tingling sensation brought on by the dragon's might within him.

Zhao Yao slowly stood up, stretched his neck, and made a cracking sound.

He turned his head and glanced at Princess Yunchi, his wicked gaze like a knife, which made the demonic dragon Yunchi shiver all over, its scales bristling and its tail involuntarily retracting.

bang~

Zhao Yao glanced at Yun Chi but didn't make any further moves. He turned his head and resumed his escape, his steps becoming more steady and powerful than before.

Before long, the two arrived at the dock, chasing and fleeing each other.

The docks were bustling with people, merchant ships and fishing boats filled the harbor, and porters carried goods across the piers, with shouts and calls of vendors rising and falling.

"Look! What's that?"

A boatman was the first to notice something was wrong, and the rope in his hand fell to the ground.

"A dragon! It's a dragon! And...and one more person...a monkey!"

"How come that monkey is so big?"

A commotion broke out on the dock as people stopped what they were doing and looked into the distance, their faces filled with horror.

"They're coming this way! Run!"

"Why are you running? Do you think you can outrun me?"

Chaos erupted at the dock in an instant.

"Miraculous Technique: Dragon's Might Subdues the Gods!"

Yun Chi roared, its dragon eyes flashing with cold light, and it used this strange technique once again.

Huff—

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Long Wei's imposing aura, like a giant wave crashing against the shore, suppressed everyone on the dock.

The porters were pinned down by the cargo, the swimmers sank to the bottom, and several daring martial artists turned pale, barely managing to stay upright by holding onto the wooden stakes.

At a glance, only three people were unaffected.

On the largest ship, a gaunt middle-aged man stood upright, his robes fluttering in the wind from the dragon's might, yet he remained motionless, gazing silently at the scene, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as an ancient well.

Behind the gaunt man, twelve children, both boys and girls, collapsed onto the deck!

Some of the children tried their best to lift their heads, their neck veins bulging; some took the easy way out and rolled over face up, panting heavily; others offered no resistance and were simply pressed to the ground, their faces pressed against the deck, unable to move.

Beside the gaunt man stood a pale-skinned woman with blond hair hidden by a tattered hat. She stood expressionless, her gaze calmly fixed on the shore.

Beside the woman was an honest-looking man, trembling with fear. His legs were shaking like leaves, his face was pale, and his lips were trembling so much that he couldn't speak, but he didn't fall down.

The three stood in a row, watching the situation on the shore, unaffected by the oppressive atmosphere.

"That big monkey...why isn't it afraid of the dragon's might?"

"And what about the people on the boat? Are they alright too?"

Those who were still barely conscious on the dock were filled with shock and bewilderment.

bang~

Not wanting others to be implicated by him, Zhao Yao broke free from the dragon's majesty and hurriedly jumped towards his target.

His massive body swept across the sky, casting a shadow as he moved away from the dock.

The battlefield he was looking for was about to arrive.

Yun Chi almost lost his mind, his dragon eyes only seeing Zhao Yao's figure, desperately chasing after him. Wherever his dragon tail swept, several masts on the dock snapped in response.

"They're gone...they're gone..."

On the dock, the dragon's might dissipated, and people were finally able to move their bodies. They collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, their faces as pale as paper.

"That monkey... it seemed to glance at us, perhaps deliberately luring the dragon away?"

An old boatman, watching the figure shrinking into the horizon, spoke in a trembling voice, a hint of respect in his eyes.

"That's right. If a fight breaks out on the docks, we'll all be in trouble."

A middle-aged man next to him wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

"That monkey seems to be being chased... I hope he survives."

Someone muttered to themselves.
