Rejecting Suffering, Punching Through a Water Dragon in a Rainstorm

A torrential downpour was falling over the Posuo River.

Several figures appeared in the distance, rapidly flying towards the high-speed sky track with the aid of flight props.

"Captain, look!" Shen Yi called out.

"Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Explosions continued along the sky track, from beginning to end, putting the defensive magic array in grave danger.

"It's the Blood Explosion Formation. It really is those lunatics."

Zhang Wei said with a solemn expression.

"Oh no, if the defensive array breaks, the air track will definitely be smashed in two by that water dragon, which will cause heavy casualties."

"Gu San, use your wind manipulation skills to make us even faster!"

The young man named Gu San smiled wryly, "I'd like to too, but this is already the fastest I can do."

"team leader."

A burly man shouted, "I've got a great idea!"

"Yan Shan, you're all muscle and dead, the slowest among us. What can we do?" said the charming Shen Yi.

Zhang Wei: "In short, tell me what you think."

Yan Shan chuckled. "Captain, have you ever heard of shot put?"

……

"Boom!"

The explosion occurred outside the window, and hot air swept in and poured into the carriage.

Cao Xiaoyu spread her arms wide, her hair dancing wildly.

"Every moment, people die in pain and despair in this world. Don't you think suffering is the true meaning of life?"

"Ferocious beasts, natural disasters, diseases, curses, misfortunes... the world will eventually come to an end, and countless people will not know why they were born, nor why they will die."

"Watching others struggle in pain, and seeing a glimmer of humanity shine through their despair—that is...that is the greatest value of a short life!"

"Our Church of Suffering was founded to bring the deepest suffering to the world. You could say our existence is to change this dirty world. How about that? Pretty noble, right?"

The girl said excitedly, one pupil dark with joy, the other lifeless with fear.

She extended a hand to Jiang Yuan, inviting him, "How about it? Want to join us and twist this boring world bound by rules?"

"I refuse."

Jiang Yuan looked at Cao Xiaoyu in front of him and said coldly, "I'm not interested in changing the world."

"I don't think there's anything great about praising suffering and pain."

"In my opinion, you are no different from the followers of the Abyss."

"That's really rude of us to compare us to those empty shells."

Cao Xiaoyu shook her head, "The difference between us and them is huge."

"We are the directors, the puppeteers behind the scenes. Those lunatics are just toys we can manipulate at will. What we're about to do... is far grander than what they're doing!"

A sly, triumphant smile flashed across her face. "Hey, do you know what we're planning to do next?"

"You'll be shocked when I tell you!"

She looked excited, her tone laced with mystery.

"May I listen?"

"You said you weren't interested? You're lying. Hehe, should I tell you? I really want to, but if I do, the 'Evil Judge' will definitely be angry..."

She hesitated for a moment, then finally came up with a good idea.

"How about this, you join us, then I can talk to you!"

"Clang—"

Jiang Yuan slowly drew a jet-black Tang sword from the void. It was the rare, high-level weapon that Lin Qingyan had lent him when facing the Yin Master's clone in the dungeon trial. Its name was—[Black Wolf Killing Blade].

"I told you, I'm not interested."

"Let me give you a piece of advice: if you don't come out of her body soon..."

In his perception, the girl's spirit was sinking deeper and deeper into the realm of fear, and her vitality was also weakening, so she wouldn't last much longer.

Cao Xiaoyu looked at him, her laughter clear and crisp: "What? Are you planning to kill this innocent young lady? She's only fifteen, pure and innocent, she's never even been in a relationship. She's been implicated because of you, can you really bring yourself to do it?"

Jiang Yuan held a black knife in one hand, his black robes, transformed from a fallen black robe, fluttering in the wind. His golden eyes were clear and his expression was indifferent, like a judge executing death in the night.

"You can give it a try."

Cao Xiaoyu stared at him for several seconds, then raised her hands.

"Forget it, forget it."

"His murderous aura is absolutely terrifying."

"I'll take pity on you today and give her back to you."

"Anyway, I'm just here to say hello and see if I can recruit you to our side."

"Since the talks have broken down, there's nothing more to say."

A ball of pink light emerged from behind the girl's head, transforming into a red doll-like phantom wrapped in silk threads. It stared at Jiang Yuan with an eerie expression and smiled:

"That's all for today. Don't forget our name, we are suffering..."

Swah——

The black blade traced a perfect arc in the air, slicing through the red doll's afterimage and splitting it in two.

"Hehehe..."

It laughed strangely as it split in two, then vanished as a rain of light.

"When we meet again, the clouds of suffering and despair will surely hang over you..."

"Protect your family and friends, even though it ultimately ends in a tragic ending...hehehe..."

After the Doll Girl left.

The Martial God's clone returned to Jiang Yuan and walked into his shadow.

I used my mental power to check on the schoolgirl. I found that her vital signs were good, and there was nothing unusual about her mental state.

Jiang Yuan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seems that for that puppeteer...

The life of an ordinary girl is not worth mentioning at all.

The main target is still Jiang Yuan.

The reason she chose to possess the body of the girl next to him was probably to observe him up close...

"Bang!"

The sound of the magic array shattering came from outside.

The moment Jiang Yuan turned his head to look.

The water jet crashed heavily into the center of the sky track!

"Boom!"

The entire spacecraft shuddered violently and shook violently. Under the enormous impact, it derailed and gradually tilted to the left.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."

The carriages on the skytrack twisted and collided, making a piercing sound.

Everyone in the carriage screamed and grabbed the handrails. Some who lost their grip slammed heavily against the bulletproof windows, one after another.

……

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Wei's expression changed, and he angrily said, "Hurry up!"

"Alright! Charge complete!"

As Yan Shan spoke, his right arm, thickened like a giant's hand after unleashing his multiplication talent, grabbed Zhang Wei, gathered his strength, and then hurled him towards the sky track!

"Go, Captain!"

"Whoosh—!"

Accompanied by a sonic boom that cut through the air.

Zhang Wei shot towards the crashing sky track like a meteor, the oncoming gale distorting his face.

Just as he was about to approach the sky track.

A young figure dressed in black with black hair suddenly appeared in the air near the sky track. His golden eyes shone brightly in the dim rain, like two bright candles in a dark alley.

"Who is that person...?" Shen Yi asked in surprise.

"It seems to be a protected target." Gu San was shocked. "He's alright, which means..."

……

Under Zhang Wei's shocked and astonished gaze.

With the help of the [Wind God's Blessing] flight skill, Jiang Yuan stood in mid-air amidst the torrential rain, bathed in the rain, and threw a punch at the oncoming water dragon!

Crimson Shock + Black Lightning Flash...

Crimson Lightning!!

"boom--!"

The fist exploded with power, and countless crimson lightning bolts surged forth!

Centered on Jiang Yuan.

The rain curtain, ten meters in diameter, evaporated instantly, creating a vacuum zone.

A crimson spherical shockwave briefly appeared in front of the fist, colliding with the roaring water dragon.

"Crackling sound..."

After a brief standoff of one second.

"Bang!"

The terrifying shockwave coalesced into a crimson beam of light, piercing straight through the water dragon's massive body.

The water dragon summoned by the fourth-tier water mage was blasted apart with a single punch!
