# Chapter 1825: The Dragon Loach's Choice
In that instant, Jiangnan really did hesitate!
But Feiyan was clearly going all out. The amplification effect of the Heavenly Kingdom Hymn was something Jiangnan hadn't anticipated!
Three Holy Judgment Light Arrays stacked together, the skill-sealing range terrifyingly vast!
Even Jiangnan didn't dare charge into the light array easily!
And if he attacked from range, Feiyan still had Angel's Protection, making her defense unbreakable!
This was really troublesome!
But he only hesitated for a moment before Jiangnan directly untied the Dull Sack's opening!
Worst case, he'd just catch it again, dammit!
Qian Benying urgently said: (งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "We finally caught him, why are you letting him out again?!"
Even the Bad Beasts were stunned.
The next moment, a mangy snake covered in huge red bumps crawled out of the Dull Sack!
Its eyes were swollen nearly shut, and after the recent skull-opening, it was covered in blood!
It looked utterly pathetic!
When the Bad Beasts saw their boss reduced to such a state, their eyes turned red!
The Qingkong Mantis, brandishing its blade, moved to chop Jiangnan:
(へ｀ɷ´)へ "Aiyo! In just this short while, you beat my boss so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him?!"
"You're truly vicious! I, Mantis, will hack you to death right now!"
The Aotian Parrot cried out:
꒰ঌ(꒦ິʚ꒦ີ〃)໒꒱ "Boss! How did you get beaten up like this?!"
The Yexu Dragon Loach's face darkened:
(▀̿益▀̿●) "Beaten up? That's from cupping! Where's the Golden Gorilla?"
At that, the Bad Beasts' expressions dimmed: "That bald woman crushed him..."
Jiangnan's brow furrowed: "The Golden Gorilla was too close to the angel earlier; I didn't have time to save him..."
As Feiyan burst out of the explosion, her Steel Wings propelled her, charging toward them at extreme speed!
The Yexu Dragon Loach's eyes brimmed with killing intent. A dimensional rift appeared in the sky, then a space sphere formed, teleporting everyone away!
One teleport covered a hundred thousand meters!
But Feiyan slashed the dimensional rift apart with her sword, her speed not slowing in the slightest. Light feathers fired continuously, shattering countless floating islands along the way!
She was determined to tear through the entire Void Sea!
The Dragon Loach's eyes flickered, as if contemplating something. Clenching its teeth, it said: "You say you've killed a Bose body? Is that true?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes:
(꒪ั～꒪ั*) "Do I have any reason to lie to you about that?"
With that, he pulled out a pile of Bose horns from the Alternate Dimension, even the Godslayer Blade!
He looked proud!
(︶.̮︶〃) "The three new stars drawn on top—I carved those!"
The Dragon Loach's pupils contracted sharply. How could it not recognize a Bose body's horn?
This human had really killed a Bose body? Its expression turned serious!
"First, let's kill this angel. Talk after. Can you get rid of that light array? Get rid of it,"
"and I'll handle the rest!"
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (๑◔д◔ิ) "You sure? This angel has a recovery technique; she won't die easily!"
The Dragon Loach said arrogantly: (｀⌒´●) "Are you questioning my ultimate move? She can recover? Then I'll keep killing her until she can't!"
"So can you deal with that array or not?"
Jiangnan's eyes widened: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Oh? Getting cocky now, are you? Of course I can!"
Feiyan gritted her teeth: "Where do you think you're going?"
"Star Summon!"
She raised her bare hand to the sky, then pressed down hard!
Above, hundreds of massive fire meteors formed, dragging long tails, smashing toward the Dragon Loach's space sphere!
Jiangnan narrowed his eyes: "Watch out! Or we'll all end up idiots!"
He pulled a Mind God Bead from his pocket—one he'd stolen from the Beacon Star Palace!
The Dragon Loach naturally knew how dangerous that thing was, layering three space spheres around them.
Jiangnan made a violent throw, tossing the Mind God Bead straight into the light array!
The triangular body inside had already accumulated mental energy to its limit!
Normally, this item could be reused, but Jiangnan chose to sacrifice it in one go, releasing the most powerful mental impact!
Even Feiyan's expression changed at the sight of the flying Mind God Bead!
"Damn it! How does a human have something like this?"
She quickly dodged sideways, but it was too late!
*BOOM!*
Infinite mental energy erupted in an instant, even distorting space!
Both the falling meteors and the surrounding floating islands were shattered by the divine release!
The coverage spanned hundreds of thousands of meters, the magnetic field disrupted, and debris was pulled in, forming chaotic magnetic field lines dancing everywhere!
The scene was terrifyingly chaotic. The triangular body inside the Mind God Bead, its energy exhausted, instantly perished!
Even though Feiyan had released Angel's Protection, the massive mental impact still sent her reeling, blood flowing from her seven orifices. Her mind felt like paste, nearly exploding on the spot!
She was dazed for a moment, and the Holy Judgment dispersed from losing Feiyan's control!
The Yexu Dragon Loach's eyes were savage: "A life for a life! My turn now!"
With that, its dragon scales burst open, and terrifying spatial fluctuations emanated!
Its body vanished from Jiangnan's sight in an instant!
At the same time, Feiyan's Angel's Protection shattered explosively, along with Feiyan's body!
All of this happened in an instant, so fast even Jiangnan couldn't react!
But the Yexu Dragon Loach didn't stop—it knew Feiyan had a recovery technique!
It looped around and charged back!
Corpse-striking again and again!
Even dumpling filling wasn't this finely minced!
Warp Bubble • Tenfold Kill!
It drained every last trace of spirit energy from its body, striking Feiyan ten times!
Covered in bumps, the Yexu Dragon Loach panted heavily, finally stopping.
By now, Jiangnan had recovered, his scalp tingling at the sight of Feiyan reduced to paste!
That was an instant kill, dammit! How fast was that?!
But the next moment, Jiangnan's expression changed drastically: "Dodge!"
Because the Heavenly Kingdom Hymn projection in the sky still hadn't dissipated!
That pile of flesh was rapidly regenerating under the golden feathers scattered by the Archangel projection!
Without a second thought, Jiangnan threw another Mind God Bead!
But the heavenly angel horn projection let out a deep, resounding horn blast!
Jiangnan and the others felt as if a hammer had hit their heads, splitting pain!
The thrown Mind God Bead also fizzled out in the horn sound!
"Did you think only you had mental attacks?"
The pile of flesh had fully regenerated, but now Feiyan looked like a middle-aged woman!
No longer youthful—showing how terrifying the life force she'd consumed was!
Holy Judgment had already deployed as she recovered, trapping the Dragon Loach inside!
Even Jiangnan couldn't use Spatial Displacement to pull it back!
Feiyan grabbed the Yexu Dragon Loach by the throat, her eyes savage!
(ꐦ°᷄◞益◟°᷅) "I ended up like this because of you! I want you dead! Dead!"
She thrust her hand directly into the Dragon Loach's windpipe, blood spraying!
The Dragon Loach didn't struggle. In the Holy Judgment array, skills were sealed, and it had already used up all its spirit energy!
"Hah, I thought I could kill you. Even ten times wasn't enough? You're truly monstrous."
Jiangnan gritted his teeth, pulling out the Vendor Cloth and draping it over himself, ready to charge into the light array!
But the Yexu Dragon Loach turned to Jiangnan and shook its head!
"Don't save me."
"I won't go with you, and I won't mix with humans. I hate Bose bodies, and I hate humans just as much!"
"I have these brothers. The Warp Bubble is yours now. Use it to kill that bald hag, or go kill Bose bodies—whatever you want."
"Use it to do what you need to do. Don't disgrace my ultimate move, and don't forget what you promised me. We don't want to be caged anymore..."
*BOOM!*
Infinite lightning erupted from Feiyan's palm, enveloping the Dragon Loach entirely. Its body disintegrated in the lightning, but its face carried a sense of relief!
Jiangnan: !!!
"Dragon Loach! You..."
The Yexu Dragon Loach didn't want to live anymore!
Its wife and children had been killed by humans, their spirit beads extracted and skills absorbed. It had long harbored a deep hatred for humans, equal to its hatred for Bose bodies.
It saw humans as its lifelong enemies. Every human who entered the Void Sea, the Dragon Loach killed without mercy.
It had also killed many people, making them irreconcilable. The Dragon Loach refused to cooperate with humans, even if that meant survival. It simply didn't want to.
But without cooperating with humans, it would sooner or later have its spirit beads taken by the Bose, be caged for life.
Every spirit beast in the Void Sea was born to be a power source.
Wife and children gone, trapped here waiting to die—the Dragon Loach had long grown tired of this life.
Its only concern was these brothers of his.
The Dragon Loach didn't want its brothers to suffer the same fate—caged for life, generation after generation unable to change their destiny.
Jiangnan's proposal had tempted the Dragon Loach. For its brothers, to avoid being caged, it should cooperate with humans.
But the death of its wife and children was a thorn in its heart. It refused to bow to humans.
Yet it also wanted to fight for a way out for its brothers. This seemed like the best outcome.
Since it wanted the Warp Bubble, it would give it to Jiangnan, hoping he would remember this favor.
And treat its brothers well from now on...
Whether it was Jiangnan not killing it immediately to extract its spirit bead, instead trying to extract the skill and spare its life, or saving the seductive fox and the others, or daring to release it from the Dull Sack—all showed that Jiangnan genuinely wanted cooperation.
But sorry, I hate humans, though I trust Jiangnan.
In the lightning, the Yexu Dragon Loach's body was completely carbonized into slag.
Only a spirit bead remained, falling into Feiyan's hand.
The Bad Beasts' eyes turned red: "Boss!"
Jiangnan clenched his steel teeth, his eyes savage:
"Damn it all!"
He had even considered whether to switch spirit skills, spare the Dragon Loach, and search the Dimensional Gap for another.
But the Dragon Loach refused to cooperate with humans, preferring death over it.
It entrusted its brothers to Jiangnan, seeking a way out.
And in this way, it offered the Warp Bubble, letting Jiangnan make no choice.
Because the Dragon Loach had already made the choice for Jiangnan.
