Chapter Twenty-Nine: Drug Him!

Ao Xi had already fainted in Zhang Kui’s grasp, but Jiang Yuan paid no mind to the furious roar of Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South Sea. His hands never ceased their movements.

Once again, the Thunderlight Sword appeared in Jiang Yuan’s hand, arcs of electricity dancing along its blade. In just a moment, under the surge of Jiang Yuan’s power, the sword radiated dazzling brilliance.

Jiang Yuan gazed calmly at Ao Qin, who was rushing toward him with increasing urgency in the distance. He swung his treasured sword downward.

Ao Xi’s massive dragon head fell straight into the South Sea!

“Ding! You have slain the son before the Dragon King of the South Sea, showing utter ruthlessness. Tyrant behavior detected. Reward: 20 points of Tyrant Value. Current Tyrant Value: 255.”

“Ding! You have slain Ao Xi. Reward: 100 points of Tyrant Value. Current Tyrant Value: 355.”

Marvelous!~

Jiang Yuan felt exhilarated; his pockets seemed to bulge with wealth! From now on, he could speak to the system with newfound confidence!

The surface of the sea was instantly stained crimson. No aquatic creature dared approach the blood-red region; they all knew that today’s events had escalated beyond control!

Ao Qin could only glare at Jiang Yuan with bitter regret. What does it feel like to witness your own son killed before your eyes?

Transformed into a human shape, Ao Qin’s eyes burned bright red! His hair and robe billowed, his face twisted with fury as he stared at Jiang Yuan, whose expression remained utterly unperturbed. With a roar, Ao Qin reverted to his true form.

A colossal, ancient dragon—vastly larger than Ao Xi—appeared before Jiang Yuan, its enormous eyes devoid of emotion as it fixed its gaze upon him.

“Give me back my son’s life!”

Ao Qin lashed his tail, and the South Sea erupted with wind and waves!

“Traitor! How dare you behave so insolently before the King!”

Zhang Kui would never let Ao Qin have his way. Manifesting the Mysterious Thunder Blade in his hand, he struck at Ao Qin’s whipping tail.

Unexpectedly, Ao Qin’s dragon scales were no ordinary shelter. When the blade collided with them, not a scratch was left! Instead, the blow only enraged Ao Qin further!

With a deafening howl, he charged at Jiang Yuan, heedless of everything.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan cared nothing for Ao Qin’s emotions. His eyes gleamed, fixed on the Tyrant Value Ao Qin carried!

Loyalty: 00

Favorability: -50

Potential Tyrant Value to be gained: 500

Goodness, at this point, it wasn’t even a question of how much Tyrant Value the Dragon King of the South Sea was worth—his collection of treasures far outstripped his own value!

As expected of the Dragon King of the South Sea, his trove was immense!

Jiang Yuan resolved to find a way to kill him! This was no longer about finding a pretext to do it.

A Tyrant Value of -50 meant this fellow was determined to fight him to the death, so why should Jiang Yuan be polite?

But with all those treasures and his Golden Immortal strength, Zhang Kui might have difficulty defeating him alone.

Jiang Yuan glanced at his own Celestial Immortal level. If these two deities clashed, he’d be lucky not to get killed himself.

Just then, the system’s voice sounded at the perfect moment, and Jiang Yuan detected a trace of flattery within it.

“System has detected the host in need of assistance. What service do you require? The system promises that as long as you have enough Tyrant Value, even sages can be brought down for you!”

“Enough, stop bragging!” Jiang Yuan replied disdainfully.

If sages could be defeated so easily, they wouldn’t be called sages. This wretched system just wanted him to spend his Tyrant Value!

“Host, are you sure you don’t want to consider it? The Dragon King of the South Sea is now enraged, his mind clouded. Though his strength has increased, he cannot fully utilize his treasures.”

“When the South Sea Dragon clan regains composure, General Zhang Kui may suffer. If Zhang Kui falters, then the host…”

The system left its words unfinished, but in Jiang Yuan’s ears, it was a blatant threat!

A true merchant’s system!

“Speak, mongrel system—how do you propose to help me?” Jiang Yuan replied coolly.

Since he’d be fleeced regardless, he might as well be direct.

“Host, you have such courage. Facing the current predicament, the system offers several options.”

“First, spend Tyrant Value to raise Zhang Kui’s realm, allowing him to overwhelm Ao Qin.”

“Second, spend Tyrant Value to raise your own realm and personally defeat Ao Qin!”

“Third…”

Before the system could finish, Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up in anticipation. “How much Tyrant Value would it take for me to reach a realm strong enough to defeat Ao Qin?”

“Host, you are currently at the peak of Celestial Immortal. To reach Golden Immortal, you must pass through Origin Immortal, Profound Immortal, and True Immortal—three realms in total. The cost: 1,088 Tyrant Value. Since you’re a regular customer, the system offers a friendly price: 1,099 Tyrant Value.”

“You damned system, have you no shame? Is our so-called friendship merely an excuse to swindle me? If so, I’d rather dispense with it!” Jiang Yuan thought the system was idiotic!

His math may have been poor in his previous life, but not so bad he couldn’t compare numbers!

“Host, do you have no sense of humor? The system was merely joking. The true friendly price is 999 Tyrant Value!”

“Isn’t the host touched? Don’t you feel the urge to buy? Not 1,999, just 999, and the Golden Immortal realm is yours to take home!” The system’s seductive voice echoed.

Damn your jokes—I’m about to be burned alive!

Jiang Yuan replied calmly, “Sorry, I can’t afford it. I don’t have that much Tyrant Value.”

“Then get lost, host. How dare you try to shop here without Tyrant Value?” The system’s voice instantly turned icy.

Jiang Yuan cursed the system’s ancestors in his heart! What a brutally realistic system.

“How much Tyrant Value would it take to elevate Zhang Kui’s realm?” Jiang Yuan asked coldly.

He was just asking out of curiosity. Even if he had that much Tyrant Value, he wouldn’t use it to boost Zhang Kui.

He didn’t want others to think he could simply raise someone’s realm with ease, nor did he want to cause resentment among the likes of Huang Feihu and the others.

They might assume he favored Zhang Kui above all, and in the future, wouldn’t give their full effort on his behalf.

Besides, judging by the situation, Zhang Kui could hold out for a while longer.

“There’s no need for the host to ask. Not only can you not afford it, but based on the system’s knowledge of you, even if you could, you wouldn’t spend your Tyrant Value this way.” The system’s voice was scornful.

“Then what are you doing here, pretending to solve problems when you can’t resolve anything? Why bother showing up?” Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but curse.

This system was both cunning and merchant-like, and now, in his time of need, it wanted to milk him? No honor among the young!

“Next time, host, please have the decency to let the system finish speaking. I’d only mentioned two methods before you interrupted.”

“Fine, fine, it’s my fault. Go on,” Jiang Yuan replied casually.

“The third method: drug the Dragon King of the South Sea!” The system’s icy tone sounded.

“Drug him?” Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.

“That’s right! Drug him!” the system confirmed.
