The Bet and the Pressure
By the time Black Dragon sensed the abnormality in the soul form, he could no longer retract his fist.
The fist landed on the Soul Body's chest with a loud bang. The Soul Body, which was already crumbling to pieces, disintegrated into three souls with this one punch.
The scattered Yao Emperor souls all revealed pained expressions, especially the Bear Emperor …..
His soul was already on the verge of dispersing.
Black Dragon paid them no further attention. Instead, he turned his scarlet eyes to Dragon City.
"Just who did this?!"
He was furious.
Of course, he wasn't angry because he'd suffered at the hands of the soul form youth. Rather, he was furious that someone had forcefully ruined his fun.
Enraged, Black Dragon reared his head back and roared. However, as soon as the soul form showed signs of abnormality …..
Li Jiayi looked at the Three Emperors' true forms and saw that the brawny bear man who'd spoken rudely earlier had somehow arrived in front of the Three Emperors. His bear paw had pierced right through the Bear Emperor's chest.
There was no point in bickering over who'd let him in. Besides, Li Jiayi couldn't blame the human experts.
Even she'd been distracted by the battle between the Three Emperors and Black Dragon.
Besides, the Three Emperors were trying to save all of them. No one could've imagined that someone would actually do such a thing.
"Drag him away!"
Li Jiayi roared. It wasn't just the human experts. Even the people of the Beast Region charged forward.
This guy …..
He'd harmed everyone!
"Hahaha, die, you filthy half-beastman! Die!"
The brawny bear man laughed hysterically. His hands were still stained with the Bear Emperor's blood.
"Kill him!"
Roared the people of the Beast Region. However, there was no need for them to do anything. Black Dragon, his eyes bloodshot, had already landed in front of them.
"It's you, isn't it?"
Black Dragon roared sinisterly. Then, he glared at the brawny bear man, who'd been captured by the human experts, and exploded into a bloody mist in front of everyone.
All of this happened too suddenly. Neither the experts of the Beast Region nor the human race had time to react.
Only when the brawny bear man exploded in front of them did their hearts clench.
Black Dragon had arrived.
They, who had been shouting for the last battle, were speechless at this moment. They all froze on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
In an instant, the entire world fell silent.
Gusts of chilly wind blew on their bodies. In this quiet environment where even a pin drop could be heard, they could hear the black dragon's furious breathing.
But not long after, he smiled again.
"Forget it."
Black Dragon chuckled and shook his head, then reached out with his right hand and grabbed the Yao Emperor's body.
No one dared to stop them. Li Jiayi wanted to make a move, but her instincts told her not to.
She could not restrain herself. She could not move.
"Injuring the main body will cause the soul to collapse. I can't deny that your soul condensation is a genius idea, but the drawbacks are too obvious. I really want to fight with you guys for a while, but one of you can't live anymore, so the effect of condensing the soul won't be as effective as before. "
Bang.
After tossing the three bodies to the ground, Black Dragon glanced indifferently at the Demon Emperor's soul and body.
"How about this? I'm sure the three of you agreed to live and die together. In that case, I'll help you and let you die together. "
"Stop!"
At that moment, a delicate shout rang out from behind Black Dragon. When he heard this, he arched his brows in astonishment.
He didn't take these people seriously at all. Even though he was standing right in front of them, they didn't even dare move. It was obvious that they weren't worthy of even a single glance from him.
But he never would've guessed that these fellows, whom he'd already feared to death ….
Someone actually dared to shout at him?
Black Dragon looked back with interest. Li Jiayi clutched her flexible sword and glared at him viciously.
"Were you the one who spoke just now?"
Black Dragon could tell that she was very weak. She was weaker than most of the experts from the Beast Region and the human race. But he admired her courage and was willing to speak with her.
"That was me."
Li Jiayi's face was deathly pale. Her heart pounded violently.
"You …. You're not bad."
Black Dragon's praise was sincere. She'd yelled at him impulsively, but now that he'd turned around and met her eyes, she'd answered his question.
At the very least, her courage surpassed everyone else's.
"I admire your courage, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate you shouting at me. However …. I'm still willing to give you a chance to say what you want to say. "
"You're not allowed to touch their bodies," said Li Jiayi with a frown.
"Are you giving me orders? Little girl, I really don't like your tone."
Black Dragon's expression suddenly darkened. Noticing the change in his expression, the people outside Dragon City grew nervous. However, in the blink of an eye, Black Dragon laughed.
"But I like your courage. Fine, since you won't let me touch their bodies, I'll give you a chance. As long as you can make me take a step back, I'll return their bodies to you. I will return their original bodies to you, and I can also release all of you here. How about it? "
The mood of the people present changed, and they all looked at Li Jiayi.
They didn't stop her. Even if they did, what good would that do? They'd still die, but they didn't have any hope.
How could she possibly force Black Dragon to take a step back?
What a fool's dream!
However, deep in their hearts, they still hoped for a miracle. It could be said that their emotions were extremely complicated.
It was so complicated that even if they were asked to express their own feelings, they wouldn't be able to.
Countless lives weighed down on Li Jiayi's shoulders. The pressure on her increased exponentially. She couldn't help but think of that smiling boy, no matter what time it was ….
Ye Zichen.
He was the first person she thought of.
"So the burden on your shoulders has always been this heavy."
Li Jiayi couldn't help but mutter to herself. Then she recalled that he'd died in the lightning tribulation. The way she saw it, dying …. Wasn't that a good thing for him?
At the very least, he'd lost that crushing burden. Dying would be easier.
Just like now. Countless lives weighed down on her shoulders!
"Fine, I promise you."
Suddenly, Li Jiayi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She stared straight into Black Dragon's eyes, enunciating each word.
"Remember what you said."
The people outside Dragon City were stunned by Li Jiayi's reaction. Black Dragon was flabbergasted as well.
Black Dragon had said that in order to use pressure to crush the girl, but he hadn't expected her reply to be so certain.
