196: Chapter 196 Dragon Descends on the Demon Capital! You think I'm the villain? Then I'll show you what a demon I can do!

Magic City, by the banks of the Huangpu River.

The once bustling and noisy Bund was now cordoned off by layers of yellow caution tape.

Fully armed SWAT teams and armored vehicles surrounded the Riverside Avenue so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through.

In the sky, several Bureau 749 special helicopters painted black were circling, their massive searchlight beams locked firmly onto three giant luxury cruise ships in the center of the river.

The atmosphere at the scene was suppressed to the extreme.

"Director, the snipers are in position, but the targets are hiding in the cruise ship's blind spots. Moreover, the entire ship is encased in a red energy shield; conventional armor-piercing rounds can't penetrate it at all!"

Inside the temporary command post, a special commissioner in combat gear reported to Li Changfeng while drenched in sweat.

Li Changfeng slammed his hand on the table, the force splashing water out of his thermos.

"Damn it! These scumbags from the Cultivation World usually talk about benevolence and morality, but now that they're driven to desperation, they actually laid hands on ordinary civilians!"

He looked toward the river through his binoculars.

On the decks of those three cruise ships, over a thousand tourists were huddled together densely.

Men, women, old and young were all there, shivering from the cold, their cries and screams audible even from a distance.

At the highest point of the cruise ships stood a dozen or so old men wearing tattered taoist robes, their bodies exuding a bloody aura.

Leading them was a one-eyed Old Daoist Priest missing an arm, holding a large black flag that was seeping blood.

He was precisely the law enforcement Elder who had narrowly escaped from Dragon Tiger Mountain, Daoist Qing Mu.

"Listen up, people below!"

Daoist Qing Mu utilized his spiritual power, his voice exploding over the river like rolling muffled thunder.

"There are only three minutes left until the deadline this seat gave you!"

"Tell that master-betraying demon Su Yang to crawl over here and meet his death! Otherwise, once I activate this 'Nine Yin Blood Fiend Formation', everyone on these three ships will turn into blood-water to be buried with him!"

To survive and to take revenge on Su Yang, this group of so-called Righteous Path Cultivators had completely degenerated, even resorting to the Demonic Path's malicious Formations.

In the command post, Li Changfeng rubbed his hands anxiously.

"Why hasn't Consultant Su arrived yet? Flying from Jiangzhou, he should have been here by now!"

Just then.

In the originally cloudless night sky of Magic City, a wild wind suddenly erupted!

Without warning, terrifying waves over ten meters high rose from the river surface, causing the three giant cruise ships to rock violently. The tourists on deck immediately burst into desperate screams.

"What's going on? Is it going to rain heavily?" Li Changfeng looked up at the sky.

"Roar—!!!"

A terrifying dragon roar that shattered the clouds suddenly poured down from the Nine Heavens!

Everyone's eardrums buzzed from the vibration.

The next second.

The thick cloud layer was forcibly torn apart by a pair of massive ice-blue claws.

An ancient Frost Giant Dragon over a hundred meters long, its body covered in crystalline ice armor, descended from the sky with an ultimate sense of pressure and hovered directly above the Huangpu River!

In that instant, the entire Bund fell into a deathly silence.

Even the circling helicopters were so frightened that they quickly pulled up their altitude, fearing they would be overturned if the Dragon sneezed.

"That... what kind of monster is that?!"

"A Dragon! A giant dragon from Western mythology?!"

The SWAT officers' hands holding their guns were trembling violently.

Standing on the massive head of the Dragon was a young man in casual clothes with his hands in his pockets.

Behind him stood three women of peerless elegance.

Bai Li, the Saintess of Qingqiu, in a white dress and fluttering with Immortal Qi.

Chu Ling, the Ghost General, in blood-red clothes and exuding a chilling Yin Qi.

And Mary, the Vampire Count, wearing tight leather clothes with an extremely hot figure and a pair of black bat wings spread behind her back.

This one man and three women, along with the massive Frost Giant Dragon beneath them, seemed like demon gods descending upon the Mortal world.

"Con... Consultant Su! Consultant Su is here!" Li Changfeng was so excited he almost crushed his binoculars.

On the cruise ship.

Daoist Qing Mu, who had been arrogant and domineering just a moment ago, saw Su Yang's grand entrance. His remaining hand jerked violently in fear, nearly dropping the blood-colored flag into the river.

"Su Yang! You demon, you actually dared to come!"

Daoist Qing Mu feigned composure and roared with false bravado, "Look at these Mortals below! If you dare to touch me today, I'll take them all down with me! If you just cripple your cultivation now and kneel..."

"Noisy."

Su Yang didn't even look at him directly, merely picking his ear nonchalantly.

He turned his head to look at Mary and Chu Ling behind him.

"That old bastard said I'm a demon?"

Chu Ling's pure black eyes, which lacked pupils, flickered with a hint of coldness as she giggled charmingly, "Boss, they're just jealous of your charm."

Mary even licked her crimson lips, staring at the dozen or so Old Daoist Priests with greedy eyes.

"Boss, although these old men's meat is a bit tough, the residual spiritual power in their bodies is quite pure. Can you reward them to me as a snack?"

"Sure." Su Yang snapped his fingers.

"Since they insist on calling me a demon, then this young master will show them what a demon looks like today."

"That crappy red shield down there is an eyesore."

As soon as Su Yang finished speaking.

Bai Li, who had been standing silently beside him, suddenly moved.

She didn't even use the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's Origin power. She simply raised her fair, jade-like hand and pointed lightly from a distance at the 'Nine Yin Blood Fiend Formation' on the cruise ship, which was claimed to be impenetrable even by missiles.

"Break."

Her red lips parted slightly, uttering a single, airy word.

Crack—!

A visible purple lightning bolt erupted from Bai Li's fingertip, instantly striking the blood-colored light shield.

There wasn't even a second of resistance.

The ship-protecting Formation that had left Bureau 749 helpless and was Daoist Qing Mu's pride shattered like a cheap glass bubble, dissipating into the river wind as countless red points of light.

"Pfft—!"

Suffering the backlash from the Formation being forcibly broken, Daoist Qing Mu and the dozen or so remaining Cultivators all spat out a large mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly.

"This... this is impossible!"

Daoist Qing Mu stared with his one eye in horror at the beautiful woman in white atop the Dragon's head, his whole body shaking like a sieve.

"Nascent Soul Stage... Great Demon!!!"

Su Yang leaped down from the Dragon and landed lightly in front of Daoist Qing Mu, stepping on the wound of his severed arm.
