I am a living immortal.

"Roar!!"

"Stay well with me."

Su Mu pressed down with one hand, and the overwhelming air pressure caused the demon dragon's body to stagnate.

"die!!!"

The huge amount of water vapor condensed in the dragon's mouth, and it spurted out a heavy rain. Every drop of rain could break gold and shatter rocks. If you were hit by this ball of rain and mist,

Even a high mountain will be flattened.

Su Mu didn't even frown. Facing the cloud, he pulled with his hand and the heavy rain was torn apart like a curtain.

Only then did the demon dragon look at Su Mu squarely.

This was very different from the humans he had seen.

"Who are you?"

The old voice echoed in the valley.

"Why ask who I am? So what if you know."

"Yeah, so what if I know? You humans are still so arrogant. But it tastes good, hehe..."

"No matter how strong you are, most of this space is under my control. If it weren't for that damned City God, you wouldn't even be able to see me!!"

"Roar!!!"

With a dragon's roar, the mountains and rivers in the world of the painting shook.

"The City God can't stop me, and neither can you!!"

The dragon's gray hair and thick arms curled, and another chain was broken.

Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering why the evil dragon was so rampant.

It turns out that everything the evil dragon had done before was just a hibernation. It was true that the City God trapped him, but for this evil dragon to escape, although the price would be high, it was not impossible.

Cunning, patient, and ruthless to both enemies and friends.

It is worthy of being an existence that has been touched by the imperial dragon energy and transformed into a dragon.

No wonder the City God was defeated.

"But when it comes to arrogance, you are no exception."

"You know there are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you. You'd better stay here well."

Su Mu's voice was very faint.

But the power in the words was very heavy.

The demon dragon's struggling movements came to an abrupt halt at these words, its body as stiff as a stone. No matter how much it wanted to move, there was no response.

In an instant, the wind stopped, the rain stopped, and even the vibration stopped in an instant.

This is all there is to it when you claim to be the emperor.

Just as Su Mu said, the only reason he didn't kill the dragon with one sword was the state of the City God.

It's true that this demon dragon is very powerful, but it's not strong enough to move Su Mu. At least it's not as strong as the old turtle and the nine-tailed fox.

Looking at the fear in the demon dragon's eyes and the cruelty hidden beneath the fear, I'm afraid that if he is given a chance, he will fight back without hesitation.

But so what.

Su Mu no longer looked at the evil dragon.

Instead, he looked up at the sky. The golden light of the sacred way became more and more intense. He could feel that as Shen Qiu repaired it, a consciousness awakened from the unknown space in the temple.

In fact, compared to the demon dragon, he was more curious about faith.

This kind of energy, which is similar to a panacea, comes from the thoughts of all living beings, but can perform all kinds of incredible operations, just like the City God. Even if his golden body is shattered, his consciousness falls into a deep sleep, which is actually close to the state of extinction.

But I was still pulled back by faith.

There is indeed a sense in this that faith is immortal and spirit is eternal.

This shows the uniqueness of Shinto.

Su Mu returned her gaze to the black carp and tapped its head with her finger.

"You should learn from others."

"You have the authority of the Water God and the blood of the dragon clan. Your achievements should be higher than this demon dragon."

"Although the demonic dragon in this painting is not orthodox, it has been dormant for over a decade, hoping to transform into a dragon in one day. What others have painstakingly pursued is now easily within your grasp. Are you still willing to waste it?"

The black carp blinked its big eyes and tilted its head to look at Su Mu, as if it understood something.

"Haha, never mind, never mind, this is fine."

"The way of cultivation is to follow the natural way, to be at ease with your heart, and to be at ease with your heart."

Su Mu shook her head and suddenly smiled.

When the mind is clear, the Tao is there. Sometimes being too deliberate can lead to inferiority.

The black carp understood what Su Mu said and swam happily around him.

Su Mu said this to Hei Li, and also to the demon dragon.

However, the demon dragon refused to listen. He had been in the Demon Slaying Division for so many years, and all he saw and heard was the law of the jungle, intrigue and deception, and it was normal for you to kill me and I to eat you.

He was naturally affected.

How could he change because of one or two words from Su Mu? It is very reasonable that people with different ideas cannot work together.

Furthermore, what you see and hear may not be true.

So he didn't listen at all, but instead struggled secretly, trying to break free from the restraints on his body. The water vapor around him was constantly rising.

He knew that he only had a split second of opportunity, which was when the City God's golden light returned and he was free from one of his constraints.

Even if it means blowing up the entire world in the painting, he will do it.

As the golden light becomes brighter and brighter.

The City God's consciousness became increasingly clear.

Su Mu looked at every detail and observed the principles and logic behind it.

When Shen Qiu filled the last crack.

The City God's consciousness truly awakened.

In his eyes, the City God's consciousness was like a seed that had just broken out of its shell. In an instant, its veins unfolded and it blossomed. Every vein represented the past and a different kind of new life.

Interesting.

At this moment, the golden light that was pressing on the demon dragon returned to the City God.

The evil dragon moved.

The same was true for Su Mu, who was faster and more ruthless than the demon dragon. He slashed with his sword, and the sword light flashed. The demon dragon didn't even have time to react.

It is much easier to kill a demon dragon than to kill a water god.

With a wave of his hand and a slash of his sword, the dragon's head was separated.

The Dead Demon Dragon's eyes were filled with disbelief. Why? Why did he strike out with such an unhesitating sword?

He will never understand.

The huge head fell into the valley, making a loud noise when it hit the ground. The huge body of the demon dragon began to rot and finally turned into a pool of foul-smelling ink, which finally evaporated.

Only two golden flashes remained.

Su Mu raised his hand, and the two golden dots came in front of him. These were two dragon eyes, which did not collapse along with the huge body. Presumably, these were the eyes of the imperial dragon energy.

"Let's go back."

Su Mu waved her hand, and her two dragon eyes instantly turned into two streams of light and flew towards Kyoto.

Although this dragon energy is small, it is important.

Even if it is missing a point, a cent, it is still missing, and it will be incomplete. Incompleteness means there will be loopholes, which will be exploited by others. This may directly lead to a dynasty being shortened by a hundred years, or even ruining the prosperity of a dynasty.

"Immortal Venerable's righteousness."

The City God bowed.

"Thank you Immortal Venerable for your help."

The City God bowed again.

"I accept the first bow. As for the second bow, you should thank not only me but also Shen Qiu and the people of Li'an."

"I understand."

The City God nodded and half-bowed to Shen Qiu, and then half-bowed to the people of Li'an.

When the ceremony was over, the City God said to Su Mu with a look of shame on his face, "Please forgive me, Immortal Lord. This time, not only did we fail to exorcise the demon, but we were framed. It's our fault."

"I know. Go quickly. If I hadn't happened to pass by here, the entire Li'an would probably have become a ghost town." Su Mu waved her hand.

The City God nodded and turned into golden light and returned to the underworld.

The ghost messengers who had turned into stone statues also recovered and began to follow the City God back one by one. However, it was unknown whether the ghost messengers' souls would be scattered after death or they would be reincarnated.
