Chapter 216: Chapter 217 Devil Dragon Bead

Translator: 549690339

“Swoosh!”

An ancient sword, like a red meteor falling, flew towards the gaping maw of the Eyeless Evil Dragon, rubbing against the surrounding air to produce scalding hot black sword flames!

As the Sword Spirit Dragon struck towards the mouth of the Eyeless Evil Dragon, the black sword flame grew increasingly fierce, with the sword light spreading and possessing an intense burning power.

At the same time, a snow-white flying sword followed closely behind, without the fancy glow of a sword halo but extremely sharp to the extreme.

The black flame sword halo frenziedly burned the Eyeless Evil Dragon, with both the flames and the meteoric sword penetrating into the Evil Dragon’s esophagus. Little did the Eyeless Evil Dragon know that Zhu Minglang and the White Dragon were merely decoys, the real fatal moves were these two flying swords!

The Sword Spirit Dragon’s aura was magnificent. The black flame sword halo it formed while charging at the enemy became ever more terrifying, as if a blazing meteor had crashed into a pool of volcanic magma, with the rising waves of fire and molten rock fierce enough to scorch the heavens.

The Eyeless Evil Dragon was obviously fearful of flames. Ordinary flames might not affect it, but what the Sword Spirit Dragon unleashed was the celestial fire contained within the Ancient Flame Rune Sword, which had a temperature comparable to that of meteoric fire!

The black flame surged into the belly of the Eyeless Evil Dragon, also sweeping through the connected parts of the Leech Dragon’s body…

And the snow-white flying sword cut through like a knife through fish on the market – from the Evil Dragon’s gaping mouth all the way to its abdomen, cutting it open, and then allowing the internal organs to spill out!

This time, the Eyeless Evil Dragon was thoroughly wounded. What remained of its limbs first underwent a frenzied twisting and flapping, then retracted, before gradually losing the signs of life.

Its trunk began to shrivel as blood flowed from the massive wound, spreading over the streets.

The head it formed from the Black Blood Leech Dragon also became completely rigid, going from moving freely to stiffness, and finally, desiccation. The Frost of the Ice Sky from the Ice Morning White Dragon began to take effect, having taken its last vestige of life force.

The fortress-like Eyeless Evil Dragon had finally died.

Zhu Minglang and Bai Qin’an could no longer remember how many swords they had struck it with, and how many tentacles, claws, and trunks they had severed.

To ensure that this eerie monster wouldn’t have any sort of clone transformation, Zhu Minglang specifically commanded the Sword Spirit Dragon to enwrap the flames once more and give it another harsh baptism, insisting on burning the Eyeless Evil Dragon’s limbs to ashes before he could finally rest easy.

Seeing the Eyeless Evil Dragon turn into a pile of ashen bones at last, Zhu Minglang let out a long sigh of relief.

At last, it was killed!

I have never seen a demonic beast harder to kill than this one, and I wonder about the quality of its soul bead.

Zhu Minglang extended his palm, starting the Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing.

Indeed, like the previous Blood Leech Dragon, its soul bead’s quality was extremely high.

The previous one was just a ‘Shall Level’ Soul Bead, but this one was a Monarch Level Devil Dragon Bead. When a pure black Dragon Ball, looking like a real gemstone, appeared in the palm of his hand, Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Acting as heaven’s agent, the harvest was plentiful.

Zhu Minglang was very satisfied with this Devil Dragon Bead; it was the highest quality, highest grade one he had brewed since collecting souls. He estimated that if he were to exchange it, he could obtain a rather wealthy city, representing true ‘the value of a city’!

“Hao Xingsheng seems to want to escape,” Wen Mengru came over and pointed towards a pitch-dark direction in the city.

“No matter, someone will deal with him,” Zhu Minglang wasn’t too concerned.

Anyone might be able to escape, but Hao Xingsheng definitely could not.

Qin Luan would deal with him, and whether he was alive or dead would depend on her mood. As a leader among the royal family, to engage in such a scheme and fail, even if he had escaped, it would have been no different from being dead.

The Zhu Sect was not a toy to be manipulated by those high-ranking officials in the court. Zhu Heavenly Officer has always been known for his stern appearance and even sterner heart.

Monument City had finally returned to peace.

Walking on the streets of Monument City, Zhu Minglang saw many posts similar to those used for tethering horses. Yet, fastened to these posts were not horses or dragon beasts, but the slaves who had been transported to this city.

They were bound by their hands and feet, squatting on the filthy ground. The great battle had awakened them, and they had seen the terrifying evil dragon behind the Stele Wall!

Many slaves knew that if they were not sold, they would be dragged behind the wall and executed.

One would think that execution was already the pinnacle of despair, only to find that it was to feed such a vile creature; it was truly a fate worse than death!

“President Wu,” Bai Qin’an called out to Wu Feng, and she slowly began to speak, “Let’s all write a letter, describing the events in Monument City in great detail, and hand it up to our controllers.”

“This matter truly sends chills down one’s spine, and I have the same intention. Slaves should not be slaughtered at will, not only is it against humanity, but it also gives those demons an opportunity to exploit, which in the end will harm the people of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent,” Wu Feng nodded.

After all, Monument City is within the Imperial Dynasty’s realm.

If a city within the realm has become so rampant, not to mention those remote cities and small countries, no wonder the City of Sin, such a malignant tumor, can never be completely eradicated despite numerous forces attempting to purge it!

“Shou Bin, the City Lord of Monument City is most likely involved as well. Go to the Zhu Sect’s foreign court and tell my uncle, Zhu Yushan, about the slave offerings to the evil dragon in Monument City. Those who deserve to be killed, kill; those who deserve to be exiled, exile,” Zhu Minglang instructed Shou Bin.

Shou Bin immediately nodded and said, “The perennial malevolence of Monument City indeed needs to be rectified. Especially those mercenary camps selling slaves, they are becoming increasingly unprincipled and more like a bunch of profit-driven scum. This matter is undoubtedly related to those camps!”

Behind those mercenary camps are basically some national military lords.

They obtain vast amounts of slaves through wars, diplomacy, and various invasions, then sell them to these camps to find appropriate buyers.

For a long time, many forces and more civilized countries have wanted to overthrow the slave system. However, it seems that some legions within the Imperial Dynasty also control the slave trade, so this legislation has always failed to be implemented.

Yet, even if the slave system exists, there should at least be some reasonable Imperial laws to regulate it. Zhu Minglang, Wu Feng, and Bai Qin’an cannot abolish the slave system completely, but what they can do is merely get those officials to properly rectify it…

On his way here, seeing those tied to posts like livestock, lying on the side of the road, looking into their numb eyes, Zhu Minglang suddenly felt that the Li Chuan Continent is still a beautiful place.

At least under Li Yunzi’s rule, Wutu and the Ancestral Dragon City-State never experienced such a foul and stinking city.

Sadly.

My wife has been injured and needs to rest.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been bad if Li Yunzi had unified Rui Country.

Rui Country is one of those that insists on the slave system. If not for the support of the Supreme Court Emperor, Rui Country would have already faced the consequences of its actions.

The world would have one less country engaged in creating and selling slaves.
