91: Reject suffering, punch the water dragon in the rainstorm

Above the Poshuo River, the rain poured down.

Several figures appeared in the distant sky, and with the enhancement of their flying tools, they quickly flew towards the fast-moving Sky Rail.

"Captain, look," Shen Yi shouted.

"Boom, bang, bang, bang!"

Explosions continuously erupted on the Sky Rail, from head to tail, and the defensive array was on the verge of collapse.

"It's the Blood Explosion Array. As expected, it's those madmen."

Zhang Wei said with a solemn expression.

"Damn it, if the defensive array breaks, the Sky Rail will definitely be split in two by that water Dragon, which will definitely cause heavy casualties."

"Gu San, use your wind manipulation skill to make us faster!"

The young man named Gu San gave a bitter smile, "I want to, but this is already the fastest."

"Captain."

A burly man shouted, "I've thought of a good idea."

"Yan Shan, you're all dead muscle, the slowest among us. What kind of idea could you have?" said the charming Shen Yi.

Zhang Wei: "Just tell us."

Yan Shan chuckled, "Captain, have you heard of Shot Put?"

...

"Rumble!"

An explosion erupted outside the window, and hot wind swept in, filling the carriage.

'Cao Xiaoyu' spread her arms, her hair wildly dancing.

"Every moment, people in this world die in pain and despair. Don't you think suffering is the true meaning of the world?"

"Vicious Beasts, natural disasters, diseases, curses, misfortunes... The world will eventually meet its destruction and end. Countless people don't know why they were born, nor why they die."

"Watching others struggle in pain, blooming with that glimmer of humanity in despair, this is... this is the greatest value of a short life!"

"Our Church of Suffering was established to bring the deepest suffering to the world. It can be said that our existence is to change this filthy world. How about it? Isn't it great?"

The girl said excitedly, one pupil dark with joy, the other dull with fear.

She extended a hand to Jiang Yuan, inviting, "How about it? Do you want to join us and twist this boring world bound by rules together?"

"I refuse."

Jiang Yuan looked at the 'Cao Xiaoyu' in front of him and said coldly, "I'm not interested in changing the world."

"I don't think there's anything great about glorifying suffering and pain either."

"In my opinion, you are no different from Abyss Believers."

"That's truly rude, to compare us to those empty shells."

Cao Xiaoyu shook her head, "There's a huge difference between us and them."

"We are the directors, the puppeteers behind the scenes manipulating the Puppets. Those madmen are just toys we casually operate. What we are going to do... is far grander than them!"

A cunning and triumphant smile flashed across her face, "Nyah, do you know what we're going to do next?"

"It will definitely shock you!"

Her expression was excited, and her tone revealed a mysterious air.

"I can listen."

"You said you weren't interested, liar. Hehehe, should I tell you? I really want to, but if I do, [Evil Judge] will definitely get angry..."

She was conflicted, then finally thought of a good idea.

"How about this, you join us, and then I can tell you!"

"Clang—"

Jiang Yuan slowly drew a dark Tang Blade from the Void Realm. It was the rare high-tier weapon Lin Qingyan lent him when facing the Yin Lord Clone in the dungeon trial, its name was—[Black Wolf Killing Blade].

"I said, I'm not interested."

"I advise you, if you don't come out of her body soon..."

In his perception, the girl's Mental Energy was sinking deeper and deeper into the Domain of fear, and her Life Qi was also weakening, unable to last much longer.

'Cao Xiaoyu' looked at him, her laughter clear, "What? Are you going to kill this innocent Young Miss? She's only fifteen, pure and innocent, she hasn't even had a single relationship. She's involved because of you, can you really do it?"

Jiang Yuan held the black blade with one hand, his black clothes, formed from the fallen black robe, fluttered in the strong wind. His golden eyes were clear and his expression indifferent, like an executioner of death in the night.

"You can try."

'Cao Xiaoyu' stared at him for several seconds, then raised her hands.

"Alright, alright."

"Your Killing Intent is practically terrifying."

"Today, I'll be merciful and return her to you."

"Anyway, I only came to say hello and see if I could win you over to our side."

"Since negotiations have broken down, there's nothing more to say."

A pink light emerged from behind the girl's head, transforming into a red Puppet phantom covered in threads, staring at Jiang Yuan with a strange expression and smiling:

"That's all for today. Don't forget our name, we are Suffering..."

Whoosh—

The black blade cut a perfect arc in the air, slicing through the red Puppet phantom, splitting it in two.

"Hehehe..."

The two halves laughed strangely, then dissipated into a rain of light.

"When we meet again, clouds of suffering and despair will surely envelop you..."

"Protect your family and friends, although it will ultimately be a bad ending... hehehe..."

After Miss Puppet left.

The Martial God Clone returned to Jiang Yuan and entered his shadow.

He used his Mental Energy to check on the school uniform girl's condition, finding her vital signs good and her mental world normal.

Jiang Yuan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed that to that Puppeteer.

The life of an ordinary girl was completely insignificant.

The main target was still Jiang Yuan.

Choosing to possess the girl next to him was probably also to observe him up close...

"Bang!"

The sound of the array breaking came from outside.

The moment Jiang Yuan turned his head to look.

The water Dragon heavily struck the center of the Sky Rail!

"Boom—"

The entire Sky Rail vibrated violently, shaking intensely. Under the huge impact, it derailed and gradually tilted to the left.

"Creak, creak, creak..."

The carriages of the Sky Rail twisted and collided, making a harsh sound.

Everyone in the carriages screamed and gripped the handrails. Some who didn't hold on tightly crashed heavily into the bulletproof windows, one after another.

...

"Not good!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wei's expression changed, and he angrily said, "Hurry up."

"Alright! Charging complete!"

Yan Shan said, his right arm, after activating his Enlargement Talent, was as thick as a giant's hand. He grabbed Zhang Wei, pulled back to charge, and then violently threw him towards the Sky Rail!

"Go, Captain!"

"Whoosh—!"

Accompanied by the sonic boom breaking through the air.

Zhang Wei's figure shot like a meteor towards the The sky track that is about to crash, the oncoming strong wind distorting his face.

Just as he was about to approach the Sky Rail.

A young figure in black clothes and black hair suddenly appeared in the air near the Sky Rail. His golden eyes glowed brightly in the dim, stormy rain curtain, like two bright candle flames in a dark alley.

"That person is...?" Shen Yi was surprised.

"It seems to be the protection target," Gu San said in shock, "He's fine, which means..."

...

Under Zhang Wei's shocked and astonished gaze.

Jiang Yuan, relying on the flying skill from the wind gods blessing, stood in mid-air under the heavy rain, bathed in rainwater, and punched out at the charging water Dragon!

Crimson Shock + Black Lightning Flash...

Crimson Lightning Flash!!

"Boom—!"

Fist power erupted, and countless crimson lightning bolts surged!

Centered on Jiang Yuan.

The rain curtain with a diameter of ten meters instantly evaporated, forming a vacuum zone.

In front of his fist, a crimson spherical shockwave briefly appeared, colliding with the roaring water Dragon.

"Crackling..."

After a brief one-second stalemate between the two.

"Bang!"

The terrifying shockwave condensed into a crimson beam of light, directly piercing through the massive body of the water Dragon.

The water Dragon summoned by the Fourth-tier Water Mage was blasted apart with a single punch!
