The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2001
Yandel chose to concede defeat and prayed that James would spare his life.
James, on the other hand, simply glared at him.
Deep in contemplation, he wondered if he should use this opportunity to strike fear in the Overworld Outsiders’ hearts by
annihilating Yandel.
However, he was also concerned that this would have the opposite effect and instead incur the Overworld’s wrath. In such a
scenario, the earthlings would be their target of reprisal. Although he was unafraid of the Overworld, the same could not be said
about the earthlings.
Besides, after the fierce battle, he began to understand more about his body. His body was imbued with powerful Demonic
Energy, but the energy would be depleted every time he suffered an injury. At the moment, he no longer had much Demonic
Energy inside his body. Indeed, he could feel his recovery speed gradually slowing down.
It made James realize that he was not invincible. There was a limit to his recovery. Once his Demonic Energy was depleted, his
body would stop rejuvenating by itself.
“Stop right there, James.” Leandro walked toward James and looked at him, saying, “End the fight now and tell us more about
your conditions. As long as it’s within our power, we’ll accept your demands.”
Leandro stepped forward and announced a truce, while the others simply remained silent. James had demonstrated incredible
strength. Since he was recognized by the Overworld Outsiders, he now had the right to be on equal footing with them..
James took a deep breath to forcibly suppress his killing intent. His aura subsided, and the Demonic Energy dispersed.
Seeing this, Yandel breathed a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, he could clearly sense his life hanging by a thread. He would
have died if James chose so. After all, no one could stop him.
James glared at Leandro and the others and asked coldly, “So have I earned the right to negotiate with you?”
Leandro laughed and said, “Since antiquity, the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. To earn the right to
negotiate with us, you need to demonstrate sufficient strength. My friend, you certainly are an equal among us.”
Xain stepped forward and said with a smile, “That was a nice sparring match.”

He was somewhat disappointed that they failed to kill James. However, he had no choice but to put those plans aside for now.
Besides, James was already a dead man to him. Once the seal was undone, James would perish alongside the earthlings.
Leandro said smilingly, “Let’s talk elsewhere.”
Then, he turned to leave, while the others followed suit.
James followed close behind.
Yandel breathed a sigh of relief. Only after the battle truly ended did he collapse to the ground.
Soon, a few cultivators came rushing over.
“Q-Quick, heal my injuries.”
Supported by many disciples, Yandel hurriedly left.
Many gathered outside the main hall of the Sacerdotal Sect on Mount Bane. James’ powerful strength had earned him the right
to enter negotiations with his opponents.
Leandro looked at James and asked, “You may list your terms anytime. We’ll accept your demands as long as they are
reasonable.”
As he looked at James who was completely unscathed, he smiled faintly at him. However, his expression was dark.
James stood up and scanned the crowd, saying, “From today onward, all living beings from the Overworld are forbidden from
making life difficult for the earthlings. Those who violate the rule will be annihilated without mercy.”
