Jiu Mu watched as the sword pierced Jiang Yuan’s left shoulder, slicing through the left side of his body, almost cutting him in half, and falling into the water, instantly staining a large area of the river red. He immediately used the Space Technique to retrieve Jiu Qing from the water back onto the Immortal Ship.

"Why is the wound so deep? Did you forget to defend yourself in your panic?"

"Eat this Blood Replenishing Pill first, then this healing potion... quick, quick, quick!"

"That was close, almost got split in half!"

"Luckily, we had the Demon Cultivation Elixir prepared in advance, the bleeding stopped, and the wound is gradually healing, won’t die, won’t die."

"Compared to that, Senior Bai’s body is really tough. When he crossed the Dragon-slaying Sword, he didn’t even pause, and the wound healed quickly..."

......

A group of people surrounded Jiu Qing, feeding him elixirs and helping with bandaging. When the medicinal effects took hold, and his breathing steadied and his mind cleared, he cupped his hands to the crowd in thanks.

"Rest for a moment, Jiu Mu, you should take him home first." Jiang Yuan saw that although he had used Cleaning Technique to clean up all the blood, after swallowing the Blood Replenishing Pill, his health bar was only one-third full.

This place wasn’t as rich in Demonic Energy as the small courtyard. If not careful, and something happens, won’t we be down a fighter?

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Jiu Qing breathed heavily and said, "For helping Daoist Bai on the Walking Flood Dragon journey, the contract with the Death Warriors is dissolved. Jiu Qing feels grateful to Mr. Jiang and Daoist Bai for your extraordinary kindness. I hope you can let go of past grievances and allow me to stay in your courtyard, even if just as a servant!"

Strictly speaking, he was not qualified to continue living in the small courtyard.

After all, he used to be Bai Yunqi’s Death Warrior. Before deployment, he was a tool; now, not even a Death Warrior, with no relation to rely on, he would have to leave the courtyard eventually. By then, being hunted again by the Demon Realm’s Regent Throne, there would be only a dead end.

Mr. Jiang is kind-hearted; the people in the small courtyard get along harmoniously. Even as a servant, he certainly wouldn’t be harshly treated. Where else in this vast world can one find such a good place?

"You are still seriously injured, no hurry, talk again after you recover." Jiang Yuan didn’t directly agree, instructing Hu Zhile to send both Demon Cultivators back home.

Anyway, with the Courtyard Communicator in hand, he could monitor the situation in the small courtyard anytime, and decide whether to accept Jiu Qing based on his future performance.

After the Death Warriors took the deadly strike and passed the second Dragon-slaying Sword, Bai Yunqi’s journey of the Walking Flood Dragon went smoothly once again.

During the day, they traveled the Wilderness with the Ancients’ Ten Great Sects;

At night, in the rivers of the Human World, along the way, there were always cultivators from the human sects and noble families who had received news from the Celestial Sword Sect beforehand, setting up defense to protect against floods, escorting the Walking Flood Dragon along the way.

Especially to prevent those ignorant mortals from seeing it and spouting nonsense, hindering Bai Yunqi’s path.

With each passing day, Bai Yunqi’s fatigue became increasingly evident, and the wounds more numerous.

But the Walking Flood Dragon journey was finally nearing its end. With only three days left before reaching the estuary, the final Dragon-slaying Sword let out a humming noise beneath a dilapidated wooden bridge, releasing a terrifying aura!

"Hiss! Who on earth arranged this Dragon-slaying Sword, with killing intent everywhere!" Even Lin Yao from the Black Tortoise Pavilion couldn’t help but gasp at the sight.

Cang Rui lamented, "Bai Yunqi miscalculated, it must have been seeing such a dilapidated bridge and sword before, and didn’t take it seriously. Hence, sacrificed the Death Warriors at the last Dragon-slaying Sword to withstand it.

Now facing the final obstacle, it’s really time to truly slay the dragon, what should be done?"
