On the Thirty-Sixth Floor, a gigantic Red Peacock battled a Cyan Flood Dragon. The Cyan Flood Dragon had thick hide and sturdy flesh, while the Red Peacock was nimble and agile. Neither side could do anything to the other.
The Red Peacock spread its wings, its feathers suddenly standing erect as it fanned them out. Blinding red light burst from its body, and fierce winds howled. A thick red pillar of wind shot into the sky and swept the Cyan Flood Dragon inside. Powerful wind blades rapidly slashed across the Cyan Flood Dragon's body, producing a muffled crackling.
Boom!
The Cyan Flood Dragon tore the red pillar of wind to shreds and escaped. Its tail lashed out viciously, striking the Red Peacock squarely. The Red Peacock was sent flying backward, vomiting blood without end.
A Cyan Light Pillar as thick as a water vat shot over and pierced the Red Peacock's body. The Red Peacock fell into a pool of blood.
Red light flashed, revealing Gongsun Yang's figure. His aura was weak. His lifebound spirit bird had been killed, and he had suffered severe injuries as well, his aura falling to Core Formation Layer 6.
A dragon's roar rang out loudly as the Cyan Flood Dragon pounced at Gongsun Yang, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
Gongsun Yang formed a Hand Seal. A layer of Crimson Flame appeared over his body, and his aura rapidly rose from Core Formation Layer 6 to Core Formation Layer 9. He had evidently used some kind of Secret Art. With a wave of his hand, a Talisman revolving with golden light flew out, appearing before the Cyan Flood Dragon in an instant. It erupted with blinding golden light, and the Cyan Flood Dragon was immediately immobilized, unable to move.
