My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration
chapter-402

Due to the fact that the Ten Directions Region did not have a good impression of human cultivators, Jiang Li did not reveal his identity in order to develop the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn better here.

It was just that his clone was the shopkeeper.

He only sat in a corner below. He did not show his relationship with the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn, which caused these demons and the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish to think that he was only here to make up the numbers.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish, he was only a human.

The demons present more or less had a certain communication channel with the human cultivators of the outside world in exchange for some necessary medicinal pills.

However, those who were not of the same race would definitely have different motives.

There had never been many demons who truly believed those humans outside. There were even more cases of cheating.

‘The Nine-Headed Dragon Fish believed that as long as he exposed this human cultivator, he could obtain the friendship of a Greater Demon in the Flowing Sand River. There was no reason for the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn to refuse.

‘As soon as he finished speaking, before the Water Grave Ascetic could speak, he had already stood before Jiang Li and looked down at him with his fish eyes.

The contempt in his eyes was obvious.

“You want to remove my head?” Jiang Li pointed at the large head on his neck and asked calmly.

“Hmph, you, a human, secretly infiltrated the Ten Directions Region. I, the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish, will let you know today that the territory of our demon race is not a place where anyone can come and go as they please.”

“Young man, bid farewell to this beautiful world.”

As soonas he finished speaking, the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish stretched out its hand and was about to pull out Jiang Li’s head.

A huge dragon-fish phantom appeared behind him, with eight huge lumps on its head.

‘When using his transformed body to attack, such a projection would appear when it was intense. It could be seen that he did not hold back.

However, the hand with the membrane between its fingers suddenly stopped midway.

It could be seen that the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish was working hard.

However, it was as if there was an invisible wall in front of him, blocking his hand and preventing him from advancing.

Not only his hand, but the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish soon discovered that he could not move his entire body.

An inexplicable fear spread throughout his entire body. At this moment, Jiang Li’s indifferent voice sounded.

“If you are an ordinary water creature, you might be able to bring me a little trouble.”

“But you still have the dragon bloodline flowing in your body. Can you stand in front of me like this?”

“Kneel!”

At this moment, a small blue diamond-shaped crystal appeared on Jiang Li’s forehead, and a pair of forked dragon horns grew out on his head.

Anoble bloodline that belonged to the pure-blooded Dragon Race spread out wantonly. It was this bloodline aura that made the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish unable to move.

‘When dragon blood was placed in his body, it could accelerate his cultivation, increase his strength, strengthen his physique, and even break through most of the pressure. It could be said that there were hundreds and thousands of benefits.

However, before one’s dragon blood reached a certain level of purity, there was a very terrible weakness.

That was the incomparably intense bloodline suppression. Once they encountered a true pure-blooded dragon, even if their strength was much higher, they would still be powerless.

‘When facing the Dragon Race, the originally powerful creatures containing dragon blood were even inferior to ordinary water creatures.

Coupled with the talent of the Mermen King in the sea, he was a natural enemy of the water creatures.

Under the effects of the two, the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish knelt on the ground with a plop and shattered the high-level floor on the ground.

“This is impossible. What did you do to me?!”

The Nine-Headed Dragon Fish did not believe it. He knew that there were mermen in this world.

However, unless it was a sea beast that had been raised since young, even with the talent of the merman race, it was impossible to casually control water creatures of the same level.

Moreover, he was a freshwater fish, so the control effect should be weaker.

How could he kneel down in front of this human for no reason?

He reached out and kept pulling at his knees, trying to stand up again.

However, his knees seemed to have grown roots. No matter how hard he tried, they did not move at all.

He raised his head to look at Jiang Li again. The two pairs of dragon horns that grew out from above caused him to have a bad guess.

In his mind, he even cursed the two Blood Saber Elders who urged him to come here to capture him.

He had spared their lives because of the Myriad Slaughter Sect and had even brought them into the Ten Directions Region to find someone. He did not expect that they would actually not say such important information.

Just based on the difference in dragon blood between the two sides, he, a dignified Nine-Headed Dragon Fish, was unable to display any ability in front of Jiang Li.

The two people from the Myriad Slaughter Sect had promised him a rather generous reward.

He thought about it. After all, it was just capturing a person. As long as he grasped the information of the location, capturing a young cultivator of the human race in the territory of the demons in the city would be easy.

He did not expect that such a small matter would end up like this.

“What did I do to you? You should know very well.”

“Do you want to stand up? If I extract the dragon blood in your body, you can escape this suppression. How about it? As the lord of the water creatures, I can help you with this.”

Jiang Li was not angry when faced with the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish’s question.

Instead, he kindly reached out and pressed down on the other party.

After Jiang Li’s hand pressed down, the fish demon only felt the dragon blood in its body begin to boil violently, and it flowed along its blood vessels towards the palm that pressed down on its body.

The green-black fish skin on his body quickly turned red, as if it was cooked.

At this moment, he felt that the dragon blood that had been in his body for a thousand years was not his at all.

It was as if as long as Jiang Li raised his hand, the dragon blood in his body would spray out and leave him.

“No, no, no! Lord, please spare me! Nine-Headed has offended you! Lord, please spare my life!”

Feeling the change in the dragon blood in his body, the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish really panicked.

This dragon blood was his core foundation.

If it was pulled out like this, he would not be able to survive even if he was given two more lives.

The fear of death coupled with the suppression of the bloodline in his body made him tremble continuously. His initial arrogance instantly vanished.

“Lord! I’ve failed to recognize the True Dragon and was tricked by villains. Those two damned fellows are not far away. I am willing to make amends and capture those two fellows to let you deal with them.”

The Nine-Headed Dragon Fish immediately bowed, its attitude changing drastically.

The suppression of the dragon bloodline was so exaggerated.

Otherwise, although the dignified Dragon Race was lecherous, how could they not be afraid of threats? They were willing to mate with the water creatures from beautiful to ugly.

Even in this era, there were still frequent appearances of thin dragon bloodlines.

This might have been deliberately done by the dragons to control the water creatures.

Even if the Dragon Race itself had declined, with these dragon blood creatures that spread throughout the world, they could still gather powerful strength.

“Water Grave Ascetic and everyone else, it seems that my personal matters have disturbed your mood.”

“However, today is the day of the opening of the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn. There are actually two humans who dare to come here to cause trouble. Everyone, are you interested in seeing who they are?”

“Nine-Headed, why aren’t you leading the way?”

Jiang Li’s aura relaxed. Only then did the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish kneeling on the ground feel its legs return to its body.

Jiang Li did not expect the people of the Myriad Slaughter Sect to be so persistent and even find this place.

It seemed that other than the aura he had stripped away, they had other tracking methods.

However, two mere Soul Formation cultivators dared to come and kill him. Did they really think that their Great Mountain Alliance Leader was weak?

After instructing the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish to lead the way, he did not forget to invite the other demons to watch.

Nine-Headed, who was originally quite respected among these demons, did not even dare to raise his heads at this moment. He bowed all the way and led Jiang Li out of the venue.

After Jiang Li left, the group of demons in the venue immediately started chatting, and they guessed the origins of this unknown expert.

“Did you see that? How much dragon blood must there be to grow such dragon hos?”

“I don’t know. In any case, it’s a lot.”

“The Nine-Headed Dragon Fish is not weak. That guy actually used his aura to suppress him until he knelt down and begged for mercy. His bloodline must be much purer than his.”

“I knew it. How could a human enter the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn? That must be a Greater Demon from somewhere else.”

“The Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn was actually able to invite a Dragon Blood Greater Demon of that level. With him around, there definitely won’t be a problem.”

“Let’s go take a look. The few people from the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn have all gone out. There’s no meaning in us staying here.”

Although the demons did not sense any demonic qi on Jiang Li, they did not think that he was human.

He had dragon blood that could casually suppress the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish. Even if he was a human, he was still a dragonman that belonged to the demon race.

Jiang Li’s caution earlier was actually a little unnecessary.

The so-called demonic qi was actually not another kind of energy. Most of it was still filled with beast nature during the cultivation of spiritual qi, causing it to be not as pure as human cultivators.

It was actually similar to the evil spiritual qi of demonic cultivators. In essence, it was still spiritual qi.

If demons had entered a famous and orthodox sect from a young age, the strength they cultivated would not be much different from ordinary cultivators.

Jiang Li and Prosperous Jiang Hong’s people walked out of the hall. The other demons naturally followed.

The Ten Direction Region was a world where the strong were respected. When they saw such a powerful Jiang Li, they wanted to see his ability.

Outside the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn, in a small building that was provided to high-level guests, two black-clothed figures with blood sabers were sitting and waiting.

In front of them were the original bottles of wine and snacks. The two of them did not even touch their chopsticks.

The old employees of the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn had not been transferred over. The food made by the local wild demons was even inferior to ordinary chefs. How could they take a fancy to it?

However, looking at the huge wooden building not far away, the two Myriad Slaughter Sect elders felt that something was amiss.

However, after thinking for a long time, they could not find anything wrong.

“Old Xia, don’t you think you’ve seen that wooden building somewhere before?” One of the Blood Saber Guards asked.

“The construction style of this wooden building is exquisite. It doesn’t seem to be the work of a demon.”

“I think I’ve seen buildings of similar style before. Prosperous Jiang Hong… the name Prosperous Jiang Hong is a little familiar, but I can’t remember it.”

They shook their heads and did not take it to heart.

For high-level cultivators like them, such buildings could be dismantled with a flip of their hands. In a few days, they could build another identical one.

No matter how luxurious it was, without a brilliant array formation, everything was meaningless.

As for the inn they had seen before, they had long forgotten about it.

Right now, they only wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible and return to the Myriad Slaughter Sect to continue being the high and mighty elders.

One had to know that this assassination mission that they originally thought was simple nearly took their lives.

It was their good luck that the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish happened to know the reputation of their Myriad Slaughter Sect and felt apprehensive in killing them.

Otherwise, of the two of them, at least one had to die in the river that was filled with sand.

In order to hunt down a young cultivator who might not even have a Nascent Soul cultivation, they had suffered such a huge loss. This made them very depressed.

“Oh? Old Xia, don’t you think that this small building has suddenly become much quieter since just now?”

One of the two elders acutely noticed this. As soon as he said this, the other became vigilant.

Today was the day that this inn opened. Demons from all over the world came to support it. Every place should be filled to the brim. Why did it suddenly quieten down?

Something was amiss.

Then, they felt everything around them begin to shake. In the next moment, the entire building suddenly collapsed, burying the two of them on the spot.

Of course, this small problem could not hurt them.

Two blade auras shot into the sky, clearing away the debris.

“How dare you! Who dares to sneak attack us!”

The two of them looked around with unfriendly expressions. They wanted to see who dared to attack them.

What they saw made them involuntarily gasp. Their fierce gazes immediately disappeared.

In the surroundings, 70 to 80 demons with auras like rainbows were gathered around them. They looked at them as if they were monkeys.

The demons who had been holding a meeting in the main building of the inn suddenly appeared here.

“Theard that you’re looking for me.”

Jiang Li walked out from the demon group and stood before the two people from the Myriad Slaughter Sect.

The dragon horn on Jiang Li’s head was especially striking, but besides the pair of dragon horns, wasn’t his appearance the target of their assassination this time?

The elder of the Myriad Slaughter Sect who was called Old Xia looked at Jiang Li and the wooden building.

He suddenly recalled where they had seen the words “Prosperous Jiang Hong”.

‘Wasn’t it just a while ago when he slaughtered his way into the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region?

At that time, he had heard that this inn was created by the Great Mountain Alliance Leader.

He had even sneered at how depraved the Great Mountain Alliance Leader was to open an inn that specialized in serving small demons.

He did not expect that this inn would actually open here today.

Moreover, why was the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish that had been solemnly swearing in front of them standing respectfully behind Jiang Li?

This scene clearly showed that they had been betrayed by the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish.

Or could it be that the Nine-Headed Dragon Fish was originally Jiang Li’s subordinate?

In that case, didn’t that mean that the surrounding demons were also here to help him?

At this thought, their faces turned even paler.

The two of them believed that the blood saber had killed countless people. However, 70 to 80 Greater Demons could slap them to death on the spot.

“We… found the wrong person. Sorry, goodbye.”

After saying this, they turned around and wanted to leave.

However, this group of demons surrounded them completely and did not have the slightest intention of moving aside.

Jiang Li who stood at the front revealed a warm smile to them.

It was perfect. Two Soul Formation cultivators could be converted into an upgraded version of the Nine Nether Earth Fruit..4
