Chapter 166 The Undead Giant Lizard Pseudo-Dragon, Jiang Han is Dead?
Immediately after exchanging for the Soul Beads, Jiang Han felt his mind go blank, filled only with a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Jiang Han knew this was the backlash from the demonic system. A splitting headache was frantically stimulating Jiang Han's mind, as if it were going to tear his head in two. The violent mental shock made Jiang Han groan. Jiang Han had thought that the backlash from the demonic system would be strong, but he didn't expect it to be this painful. The intense mental shock could drive a normal person insane on the spot, and could even completely shatter a person's soul, turning them into a mentally challenged vegetable.
As Jiang Han took the Soul Bead out of the system space and held the pale blue bead in his hand, he felt a surge of pure soul energy flow into his mind, dispelling the bloodthirsty frenzy and slowly easing the excruciating headache that had been plaguing him.
After a long while, Jiang Han collapsed to the ground, covered in sweat and panting heavily, muttering, "Damn it, I never want to experience this kind of excruciating pain again. I must start accumulating the essence needed for the Soul Pearl in advance."
Gray gas continuously poured into the body of the dead giant lizard pseudo-dragon from the Undead Purgatory. Suddenly, the dead giant lizard pseudo-dragon opened its eyes, but there was no bloodthirsty madness in those lantern-like eyes. Instead, they were grayish-white, and occasionally, grayish-purple lightning arcs would flash in the giant lizard pseudo-dragon's eyes.
After becoming an undead, the giant lizard pseudo-dragon absorbed some of the lightning power that killed it, allowing it to manipulate lightning to attack enemies. Its previously shattered fleshy wings transformed into bone wings, and its severed forelimb was restored, forming a giant lightning claw from grayish-purple lightning, which was now much more powerful than before.
When Jiang Han arrived at the giant lizard pseudo-dragon, the giant lizard pseudo-dragon, now transformed into an undead, lowered its enormous head to allow Jiang Han to approach. Then, it flapped its two huge bone wings and flew towards the place where the undead lizard-skull giant monster and the lizard-skull giant monster group were fighting.
In the central street, after the shroud of the Undead Purgatory was removed, the dead Lizardhead Giants and Giant Undead Lizards could not be directly transformed into undead. Therefore, the number of Undead Lizardhead Giants decreased with each self-destruction and the killing by the Giant Undead Lizards. However, the streets were still piled with the corpses of thousands of Lizardhead Giants, both successful and failed.
The undead lizard skull giants are no match for the numerically superior lizard hordes, but they all self-destruct before dying, taking several lizard skull giants with them, resulting in a lot of lizard skull giant corpses piling up in the streets.
As the swarm of lizards roared excitedly after dealing with the undead lizard-headed giants, a powerful hurricane swept in, blowing away several unfortunate lizard-headed giants. Then, the massive body of the undead giant lizard pseudo-dragon landed on the top of a building.
"Roar!!!" A roar came from the mouth of the giant lizard pseudo-dragon.
The lizard-headed group in the street below paused, not understanding what the giant lizard pseudo-dragon meant, or why it would make them, who had barely survived, fight each other. However, due to the domineering power of the giant lizard pseudo-dragon, they could only do as the giant lizard pseudo-dragon instructed, either opening their blood-red mouths to bite their companions or swinging their sharp claws to grab at their weaker kin.
The streets were instantly filled with flying blood and gore, the stench of blood filled the air, and the roars of the giant lizard-headed monster and the excited cries of the giant lizard were deafening.

After Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan returned to the temporary lodging of Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, the sharp-eyed Ai Tutu spotted Mo Fan walking behind Mu Ningxue at a glance. When she came up to Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan, she craned her neck to look behind her, trying to find Jiang Han's familiar figure.
But after searching for a long time without finding Jiang Han, he asked with a smile, "Mo Fan, where's Jiang Han? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"Uh..." Mo Fan didn't know how to explain why Jiang Han hadn't come back with them.
Although he understood Jiang Han's character and knew that Jiang Han wouldn't do anything without being sure of success, he and Mu Ningxue waited for a long time without seeing Jiang Han, which made him a little suspicious that Jiang Han might have messed up.
"Jiang Han stayed behind to hold off the berserk giant lizard pseudo-dragon in order to save me," Mu Ningxue said with a hint of disappointment.
"What?! A giant lizard pseudo-dragon?!"
Upon hearing Mu Ningxue's words, the other surviving team members gaped in astonishment. They never expected that Jiang Han and his team would encounter a commander-level giant lizard pseudo-dragon, and that Jiang Han would even stay behind to hold off the giant lizard pseudo-dragon in order to save Mu Ningxue.
That's a commander-level demon! The demon horde it commands is enough to annihilate a city, let alone Jiang Han holding it off alone. No matter how strong he is, he couldn't possibly escape with his life from a commander-level demon.
The smile on Ai Tutu's face vanished with Mu Ningxue's words. Ai Tutu, her eyes red-rimmed, grabbed Mu Ningxue's hand and cried out, "Why didn't you go to save him? Why weren't you the one left behind? Why?!"
Mu Nujiao reached out and pulled Ai Tutu to her side, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Tutu's emotions are a bit out of control."
"I understand," Mu Ningxue said calmly.
Ai Tutu, who had been brought to Mu Nujiao's side, hugged Mu Nujiao's waist and burst into tears. She never expected that this training would be the last time she spent with Jiang Han. If she had known that this would be the result, Ai Tutu would never have let Jiang Han participate in this wilderness training. When she was sharing a house with Jiang Han, she had already gotten used to having that guy in her life.
Mo Fan felt a pang of sadness seeing Ai Tutu wailing and crying in Mu Nujiao's arms. He wondered if any girls would be heartbroken and cry for him if he ever encountered danger. Perhaps.
If Jiang Han knew that Ai Tutu was crying over his death, he wouldn't know whether to be happy or angry.
The surviving students all felt that Jiang Han was definitely doomed, after all, that giant lizard pseudo-dragon was a commander-level demon.
Mu Ningxue didn't believe Jiang Han was truly dead. Jiang Han had promised to return to the capital to find her. If he dared not to, she... she... she would go and bully his little girlfriend—she would go to Songcheng and bully his little girlfriend. She, Mu Ningxue, had obtained Aunt Han's permission; she was the one...
No, why am I having such a strange thought? Anyway, Jiang Han definitely won't die so easily.
Mu Ningxue shook off the jumbled thoughts in her mind and said calmly, "Let's pack our things and prepare to return to the capital. If Jiang Han escapes from the giant lizard pseudo-dragon, he will definitely reunite with us in the capital."
"Hmm." The other surviving team members nodded and began packing their belongings. They all knew how terrifying a commander-level demon was, so they didn't think they would see Jiang Han again after returning to the capital.
"Don't cry, TuTu. We need to pack our things and get going," Mu Nujiao said, patting Ai TuTu's head to comfort her.
For some reason, Mu Nujiao's nose also felt a little sore, perhaps she had choked on something. Ai Tutu broke free from Mu Nujiao and stubbornly said, "I won't leave, I want to stay here and wait for Jiang Han, wait for him to come back."
"What if you encounter demons while you're staying here? Then you won't be able to see Jiang Han when he returns to the capital," Mu Nu said with a charming smile, trying to comfort her.
"I...I'll pack my things right away, wait for me a moment," Ai Tutu said, sniffling.
After everyone had packed their things, Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan each led the surviving members of the Imperial Capital Academy and the Pearl Academy back to the Imperial Capital. After traveling for an unknown distance, they encountered a mage guarding them as they sped through the air.
"Chief Instructor Zhan Kong?" Mo Fan looked at the mage descending from the sky in surprise.
The others stared at Zhan Kong with tense expressions. After all, they had just been attacked by the Guardian Mage, and they now had a deep-seated fear of him, since Liao Mingxuan and the others had been killed by the Guardian Mage right in front of them.
