Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 139 : The Dragon Lord, you’ve come!

Yongnan Province, Qingping Prefecture.

The river no longer flows as peacefully as it once did; the surging waves are like untamed beasts, roaring and surging wildly.

Numerous soldiers from the Town Protectorate, dressed in cloud-patterned flying fish robes, stand in perfect formation, stationed at the riverbank.

At the forefront of these soldiers stands a young man dressed in dark armor.

His name is Su Ruoyun, hailed as the genius of Yongnan Province. At the age of thirty-five, he has already condensed his Dao fetus, reaching a terrifying level of cultivation at the sixth realm, ninth tier.

Although he is the youngest deputy general, his cultivation has surpassed that of many of the older veterans. For this reason, he is also the only direct disciple of the General-in-Chief.

Yet, despite being such a genius, when facing the Greenwater Demon Lord, he can only remain helplessly stationed by the river, appearing so powerless.

The natural advantage of demons is simply too great. Of the sixteen demon lords under the Iron-Horn Demon King, the most troublesome ones are the Mo Yu Demon Lord, who can move freely in the skies, making it hard to deal with, and the Greenwater Demon Lord. As a sturgeon that has evolved into a demon, it lurks in the Qing Shui River, devouring passing ships, using the turbulent waters as its perfect shield.

Su Ruoyun pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a slight annoyance. In the past, this sturgeon demon was cautious and rarely revealed itself.

But for some unknown reason, recently, the sturgeon had grown more and more reckless, transforming into human form and secretly coming ashore to devour the common people.

Su Ruoyun was not one to be easily provoked. He immediately set up a large array to lock onto the demon's position and stationed himself at the riverbank day and night, engaging in a protracted battle.

Behind Su Ruoyun, the soldiers looked at him with fervent admiration. With this genius of Yongnan Province in charge, there had been no large-scale demon disasters in Qingping Prefecture.

Compared to other provinces, Qingping Prefecture was much safer, and the casualties among their soldiers were the lowest in all of Yongnan Province.

If it weren't for this mighty river, the Greenwater Demon Lord would have long been dealt with by General Su!

At that moment, Su Ruoyun narrowed his eyes, watching as the waves in the Qing Shui River grew increasingly ferocious. Beneath the water, a large shadow began to emerge.

It was the sturgeon demon, which had slightly poked its head out.

All the soldiers tensed, gripping their weapons tightly, but there was little surprise on their faces.

This wasn't the first time the sturgeon had poked its head out. It always came out to observe and then retreated back into the water when it sensed something amiss.

Sure enough, this time, the sturgeon demon only revealed a small part of its form, but its aura was still overwhelmingly fierce:

"Su Ruoyun, who gave you the courage to keep guarding this lord? Don't be too smug, your human race's good days are about to end!"

"Don't think that only your race has geniuses! Soon, you'll realize that our demon race's geniuses are even more terrifying!"

Although the sturgeon's voice was female, it carried an eerie tone, even with a hint of fanaticism.

During this time, the sturgeon demon's growing audacity came from the support of the Dragon Lord!

At the peak of the sixth realm, but with strength comparable to a seventh-realm demon king! Even more terrifying than Su Ruoyun, the human genius!

With the Dragon Lord's support, the demon race now had two demon kings on their side!

On the other hand, the Town Protectorate of Yongnan Province only had one seventh-realm expert—Jiang Tao!

The balance was broken, and Yongnan Province would soon belong to the demon race!

The sturgeon's words made Su Ruoyun feel a slight unease in his heart. When had a genius of the demon race appeared?

"Utter nonsense!" Despite his unease, Su Ruoyun remained calm and stepped forward.

Seeing Su Ruoyun make a move, the sturgeon immediately dove back into the river, preparing to flee.

Enduring humiliation was only temporary. Although she couldn't defeat Su Ruoyun, it wouldn't be long before the Dragon Lord, the hero of legends, would come to her rescue!

Just as she thought this, however, the sturgeon's body froze, and her eyes involuntarily turned to the sky.

Not just her, but Su Ruoyun and all the soldiers also looked up toward the sky!

They saw a figure descending from the horizon, stepping on clouds, regal and transcendent, as if an immortal had descended from the heavens...

The sturgeon stared in a daze at the ethereal figure. In her mind, only the Dragon Lord could possess such a presence!

With that thought, she immediately shouted in joy, "Dragon Lord, is that you? Have you come to save me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun's face instantly turned grave. Was this demon reinforcement?

Although still far away, he could already feel the powerful aura surrounding that figure!

"Brothers, get ready for battle! The one coming is no friend, and the time for a fight has come!" Su Ruoyun shouted, waving his hand. Countless swords made of spiritual energy floated around, all pointing toward the sky!

The soldiers had never seen their general so flustered. Their hearts raced, preparing for the worst.

They had been fortunate to follow General Su, but now, they feared they might be buried here today.

But they had no regrets!

"Dragon Lord? What an idiot, can't even tell the difference. Or is it just a case of love blindness?" Fang Yuan glanced at the sturgeon in the river and then at the soldiers on the shore.

Indeed, the onlookers were quite numerous!

With that thought, he immediately dived toward the sturgeon!

As Fang Yuan accelerated, the Greenwater Demon Lord finally saw his face clearly. It was not the Dragon Lord at all, but rather a much younger boy!

The boy flashed a sinister smile, and despite his handsome features, his grin looked extremely terrifying!

Danger! Extremely dangerous!

Without hesitation, the sturgeon dove into the river, fleeing.

In the water, her speed was astonishingly fast!

Even if the boy was faster in the air, he would never be able to catch her! She was the true queen of the waters!

But as she thought this, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, as if someone had ripped her skull apart!

In her final moments, the sturgeon understood one thing:

The one who descended from the clouds wasn't necessarily a hero of legends; he could just as easily be a reaper of souls.

...

On the shore, Su Ruoyun and his soldiers, watching with tense expressions, were baffled.

What was going on?

The demon had called out for the Dragon Lord. Shouldn't it be coming after them?

Why did it dive straight into the river?

Could it be preparing to ally with the fish demon? But with its strength, that wouldn't make sense...

While they were still confused, the waves suddenly exploded again, and the massive fish demon leaped out of the water, landing on the shore with lightning speed!

Boom!!!

Dust rose everywhere, and all the soldiers stood stunned. The demon dared to come ashore in its true form now that the Dragon Lord was backing it!

But as the dust cleared, their shock turned into confusion and fear.

Because they saw the mysterious young man, who had descended from the sky, calmly walking down from the corpse of the fish demon.
