Qiao Suinian gave a friendly smile, a smile that, in the eyes of the Grand Elder, was more devilish than a demon.
The survivors who had been looking at Qiao Suinian with admiration now showed expressions of fear.
Killing the hostages means there are no more hostages. What kind of hellish joke is that?
Is this guy really here to save them?
"No... young friend... what you..."
Ma Zhenguo didn't know what to say. Although he knew that Qiao Suinian's approach was the most rational, as it would prevent the Grand Elder from using hostages to blackmail Qiao Suinian, the most rational approach was not necessarily the most humane.
This is similar to the famous train theory: turning left will kill five people, turning right will kill one. No matter which you choose, it will be wrong. But the most rational way is to turn right.
"Don't worry, for every person who dies in Jinling City, ten members of the Abyss Spirit Clan will be buried with him. I mean what I say."
Qiao Suinian carried the knife and walked step by step toward the Grand Elder, the tip of the knife scraping against the ground and sparking a series of sparks.
"You...you devil!" The Grand Elder was so frightened by Qiao Suinian that he became incoherent.
“I’ve already said it, I have no interest in protecting Jinling City. I just want to kill you all. This is war, a war between me, Qiao Suinian, and your Abyss Spirit Clan.”
The Dragon Spirit Demon Blade was held horizontally in front of his chest, and he slashed directly at the Grand Elder. The upgraded Dragon Spirit Demon Blade cut people down as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, without any obstruction.
The Grand Elder dared not underestimate his opponent and quickly transformed into his elemental form to restore his two hands.
"Come help! I can't take on this guy by myself!"
The First Elder shouted, and the other elders quickly gathered around. Two of the seven elders had been killed when dealing with Ma Zhenguo, but the remaining five elders were not to be underestimated.
Seeing that the other party wanted to gang up on him, Qiao Suinian did not sit idly by. He went directly to the side of the already dead Third Elder and Seventh Elder and used a smooth little combo.
"Life of the Dead! Resurrection of the Dead! Spirit Binding! Soul Dispersal!"
The corpses of the Seventh and Eighth Elders stood up and, like walking corpses, lunged at the still-living Abyss Spirit Clan elders.
Although both were fighting with only the remnants of their former consciousness, the power they unleashed, amplified by the resurrection of the dead, was terrifying.
Their souls were also not spared, and were similarly enslaved by Qiao Suinian to fight against the enemy.
"Third brother! Seventh brother!" The First Elder's eyes turned red upon seeing this. "How dare you desecrate and play with a corpse! You deserve to die!"
But the next second, the anger on his face turned into fear.
He discovered that the corpses and spirits of the Third Elder and the Seventh Elder were each blocking one of the elders, which meant that he would have to face Qiao Suinian alone!
"Open the heavens! Summon lightning!"
The Grand Elder dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately unleashed his most powerful killing move. A portal appeared in the sky, and bolts of lightning as thick as a thigh poured down like a torrential rain, directly engulfing Qiao Suinian and attempting to blast him into dust.
But Qiao Suinian was not afraid at all. After activating the Dark Saint Mark, he unleashed a series of slashes with the Dragon Spirit Demon Blade in his hand. When the third slash was unleashed, the Grand Elder heard a clear and majestic dragon roar.
The elder groaned, clutched his head, and squatted down, his expression one of extreme pain.
The lightning he summoned was cleaved in two by Qiao Suinian's blade, failing to cause any damage to Qiao Suinian at all.
Looking at the Grand Elder's appearance, Qiao Suinian was somewhat tempted. Was this the Dragon Might effect brought by the Dragon Spirit Demon Blade's continuous slashes? Even without direct contact, it could directly injure the opponent's mental world.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qiao Suinian slashed out with his sword, splitting most of the elder's body in two.
Although the Dragon Spirit Demon Blade could easily cleave through the Grand Elder's body, the Grand Elder, with his elemental spiritual body, was practically immortal, and healed all his injuries in the next second.
Without using demonic energy, Qiao Suinian had difficulty suppressing the spirit body of the Abyss Spirit Clan. Every time he cut open the Grand Elder's body, the Grand Elder would recover.
However, the Grand Elder was not in a good position either. Although Qiao Suinian could not kill him for the time being, being attacked like this was not a solution. The Grand Elder could only try his best to dodge.
As time went on, the Third Elder and the Seventh Elder, who had turned into undead creatures, were no longer able to resist the other four elders, and the four elders of the Abyss Spirit Clan quickly gathered around the First Elder.
"Very well! Your death is near!"
The First Elder grinned as he looked at Qiao Suinian. The four elders beside him clearly gave him enough confidence, making him forget that he had just been hacked down by Qiao Suinian and was running around like a stray dog.
"Yeah?"
Qiao Sui raised his eyes, and then a majestic dragon roar resounded!
This time, the dragon's roar could not only be heard by the Grand Elder, but also by everyone present. The dragon scale mark on the back of Qiao Suinian's hand emitted a dazzling light.
Using demonic energy in full view of everyone is obviously not a good idea, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use the power of the dragon bone!
"Bone as fine as gold and jade, impervious to all evil!"
The elder gasped, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
"You bastard! You actually fused with a complete dragon skeleton!"
Overwhelmed with shock, the elder's voice was as shrill as a duck being choked.
Dragons!
That was a terrifying existence that has long since vanished into the river of time.
But the human before him had actually fused with a complete dragon skeleton, which was simply astonishing.
"Impossible! There are no dragons left in this world, how could you possibly have dragon bones!" The elder stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
