Monsters Die When Killed

’I just can’t stand by and do nothing! I can’t just let this happen!’

Unable to restrain himself any longer, Su Zhou roared in defiance of the torrential rain and raging flood. His body flashed, and he appeared directly in front of the city gate, positioning himself before the surging torrent. The bluish-purple Spiritual Light enveloping him shifted, instantly transforming into the shimmering, deep blue light of waves!

Su Zhou spread his arms wide. The Five Spirits Colored Scales on his chest spun rapidly, converting all his Spiritual Power into Water Spirit Power. A piercing blue halo ignited in his eyes, forming a triangular pattern of Spiritual Light with the scales on his chest. Boundless Spiritual Qi erupted from it, as if drawn from the depths of a Sea Abyss, radiating an endless, profound chill and mist!

The legacy of the Celestial Pool Dragon King—the Mingxun Dragon Transformation Technique!

In an instant, Su Zhou pushed this legacy from the Dragon King—once the master of the Celestial Pool Sea Region—to its absolute limit. He could feel the currents around him suddenly become incredibly intimate. With the aid of Water Assistance, the young man felt he could easily control all the water within dozens of meters of himself.

But it wasn’t enough! Compared to the Wind Aid, Thunder Light, and his innate bluish-purple Demon Fire that he usually wielded, Su Zhou felt his control over water was far too clumsy and his range far too limited, even with the help of Water Assistance.

At this moment, Su Zhou found himself regretting his destructive personality. ’If only Water Magic had more direct, destructive abilities,’ he thought. ’If it did, I would have studied it more seriously instead of pouring all my energy into other techniques. With Water Assistance, a member of the Dragon Blood Dragon Race like me should be able to control far more than this pathetic amount of water.’

In fact, if the Naisel family hadn’t specialized in Water Magic—to the point that their entire study was filled with Water Magic Books—Su Zhou might never have found the motivation to study it at all.

"Get back!"

Facing the massive, surging wave, Su Zhou roared, his eyes transforming completely into Dragon Pupils. The grayish-white, fluorescent Dragon Scales covering his body began to frantically absorb the impact of the rushing water.

Visibly, under the combined control of the Mingxun Dragon Transformation Technique and Water Assistance, an equally powerful tidal wave began to form before him. This wasn’t just a Water Technique; his two hundred and forty Gale Seeds were also operating at full power, whipping up a ferocious Gale.

The wind amplified the water’s momentum. Su Zhou’s wave crashed into the one at the city gate, creating a roar that surpassed thunder! The clashing torrents intertwined, forming countless whirlpools.

This man-made wave actually kicked up a reverse current. It didn’t just block the next wave from pouring in—it charged back out against the flood!

"It’s not enough!"

But Su Zhou knew. ’Even with all my strength, I’ve only stopped a single wave. The tide is practically endless. To truly hold it back, I need to do more!’

Meanwhile, the other members of the City Guard Army and the adventurers saw what was happening at the gate and broke out in joyous shouts.

"It’s Lord Su Zhou! When did he get back?!"

"We’re saved! When I saw they hadn’t blocked the gate, I’d already lost all hope..."

"Lord Su Zhou, please, you have to save us! Help us survive this catastrophe..."

Some even began to pray to Su Zhou.

But Su Zhou couldn’t hear a thing.

Pushing Water Assistance and Wind Aid, the Mingxun Dragon Transformation Technique, and the Circulation Mist Armor to their absolute limits, Su Zhou manipulated all the surrounding currents and gales. He focused his entire being on the task, blocking wave after wave choked with wood, silt, and rock.

His body’s bluish-purple Spiritual Power had long been converted into a deep blue by the Five-Colored Scales. Moreover, as he pushed the Mingxun Dragon Transformation Technique to its limit, layers of something—perhaps Dragon Scales, perhaps something else entirely—began to slowly protrude and grow from the crown of his head and down his spine.

They looked just like Dragon Horns and a draconic spine.

For an orthodox Cultivator, such a physical transformation caused by over-exerting a Cultivation Technique would be called a cultivation deviation. For a practitioner of the Mimic Dao, it would be condemned as an inhuman, heretical path that disrespects the human form.

But if one’s body changes in the pursuit of power to better protect humanity—then what could possibly be more worthy of praise than such a transformation?

And this was the meaning of cultivating a ’True Body’.

The excessively violent Spiritual Power rampaging through his body was amplified further by the Celestial Human Cycle. The strain of over-exerting his technique was so great that even Su Zhou’s incredibly durable body couldn’t withstand it, requiring constant regeneration just to hold together.

HUM! With a soft sound, fluid Cloud-Water Spirit Patterns rippled across the surface of Su Zhou’s skin. With an impassive expression, he pulled a piece of Jade Marrow from his utility belt, shattered it with his teeth, and swallowed it to replenish his Spiritual Power and regenerate his body. The young man focused intently on controlling the currents and the gale. A translucent layer of water appeared around him, a current composed entirely of Spiritual Power that formed an unbreakable shield. It intertwined with his Gale Armor, creating a swirling ring of wind and water.

At that moment, his Wind Aid and Water Assistance broke through to a whole new realm.

"Rise!"

Finally, with another low shout, a trickle of Spiritual Blood seeped from Su Zhou’s nose and mouth. He then gathered all his strength and stomped on the ground—instantly, a berserk surge of Spiritual Power, carrying the force of hundreds of tons, was skillfully channeled into the Earth. Layers of soil could be seen bulging upwards like waves, pushing forward to form an undulating, wavelike structure within the gate’s passage. This buffer slowed the inrushing water.
