A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 207: Slaying the Jiao and the Spoils

Under Han Li’s control, the Golden Light Brick Talisman Treasure soon manifested its form as a magical treasure. A golden brick about a foot long floated into midair, radiating dazzling light.

Within Han Li’s body, spiritual power surged like a flooding river, continuously pouring into the brick. Before long, a third of his magical power was drained. This caused the golden light above his head to shine even more brilliantly—so bright that it was almost unbearable to look at directly!

The young girl exerted all her strength to restrain the ink flood dragon while keeping a close eye on Han Li’s every move. When she saw the golden brick appear, the anxiety that had been weighing on her finally eased. She now knew Han Li hadn’t lied; this Talisman Treasure could indeed break through the demonic beast’s defenses.

The ink flood dragon seemed to sense the danger too. Its two claws tightly gripped the sides of the ring, struggling more fiercely, causing the girl’s Vermilion Bird Ring to tremble faintly! Her expression changed, and she urgently shouted to Han Li, “Hurry! It’s about to break free!”

Han Li didn’t hesitate. Pointing at the talisman treasure above his head, he swiftly sent the golden brick soaring toward the ink flood dragon. Midway, the brick suddenly grew enormous—like a small mountain—and fiercely slammed down on the beast.

The struggling ink flood dragon realized the situation had turned grim. Its two green eyes flashed fiercely, and it opened its mouth, spraying the purple pill liquid that Han Li dreaded. The liquid hit the descending golden brick, momentarily halting its fall.

Both the girl and Han Li were taken aback. Han Li could only watch helplessly because he was focused on controlling the brick. The girl bit her lip, retrieved a yellow bead from her bosom, and flung it toward the beast still locked in a stalemate with the golden brick.

With a light “boom,” the bead exploded on the dragon's head, releasing a small cloud of yellow mist that immediately enveloped the head, causing the ink flood dragon to let out a panicked low roar. Naturally, the purple liquid spraying stopped.

Without the purple liquid’s resistance, the golden brick—its light slightly dimmed—fell decisively, smashing hard onto the dragon’s head with an earth-shattering roar. The dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the entire underground realm but quickly faded back to normal.

The brick then shrank back to its original size and transformed into a golden light, flying back to Han Li’s side.

In midair, only the dying demonic beast remained.

The ink flood dragon’s head was half smashed to pulp. One eye had completely burst from its socket—where it had been thrown, no one knew. The other eye remained but was bleeding profusely. The entire creature looked pitiful and grievously wounded.

It seemed this demonic beast wasn’t far from death.

The girl was overjoyed. She hurriedly pulled a small crystal vial from her storage pouch, muttered incantations toward it, then pointed at the ink flood dragon. Thin streams of black energy shot out from the vial’s mouth, sinisterly wrapping around the beast’s body.

Before long, a tiny green flood dragon—identical in form to the ink flood dragon—was forcibly drawn from the beast’s body, struggling fiercely but gradually being pulled into the vial.

After sealing the vial, the girl examined the miniature dragon inside carefully, her face lighting up with a smile of satisfaction. She then glanced at the now lifeless ink flood dragon’s body and fell into thought.

Han Li immediately understood the girl had taken the beast’s primordial spirit away. Although he didn’t know what use the spirit had, seeing her so delighted, he knew it must be valuable.

At that moment, the girl retracted the Vermilion Bird Ring into her body, causing the ink flood dragon’s corpse to fall from midair, landing right before Han Li.

“Since I’ve taken the beast’s primordial spirit, you can have its body. After all, we killed it together!” The girl landed beside Han Li, speaking with great generosity.
