What do you have to say to my flood dragons?

Objectively speaking, the Azure Feather Burning Heaven Ash isn't considered a particularly ferocious Spirit Fire.

However, it's more than enough to burn true essence.

Immediately, crackling and popping sounds rang out from the Four Symbols Suppressing Mountain Shield.

Xiao Chen felt his true energy rapidly draining away.

He currently has less than two hundred strands of true essence in total, and at this rate, it will probably burn out in just over an hour.

At first glance, this speed seems a bit slow.

However, it's important to understand that this only accounts for the rate of combustion, not the subsequent costs of attack and defense.

Secondly, Xiao Chen's current true essence quality far surpasses that of ordinary Newly Promoted Nascent Soul.

If he struggles so much to bear this burden, then it's likely that Rift Void True Monarch and the others would lose their ability to resist in no time.

Of course, Newly Promoted Nascent Soul don't need to worry about running out of true essence.

Because their Defensive Spell would collapse before that.

"How so?"

As Mirror Reflection True Monarch retreated, Gang Yuan True Monarch easily dispersed the entangled phantoms around him and glanced up at the situation.

Suddenly, a wave of intense heat hit them, and even the array couldn't block it.

Even though the Azure Feather Burning Heaven Ash were still a hundred feet away from him, the explosive Spiritual Power within them still made his whole body tense up.

"Damn it, we underestimated Jin Luan's strength."

On the fourth spirit ship, Han Chuan True Monarch immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. "We must hurry over there to join forces against the enemy, otherwise we may be defeated one by one."

He took out a Talisman from his pocket and handed it to Rift Void True Monarch: "Guard this place well and keep an eye on Fan Qilang."

Then, with a flick of his right hand, he took out a magic pill and swallowed it.

His aura suddenly surged, and he charged out of the Defensive Formation on the spirit ship, rushing into the Entrapment Formation in an attempt to rush to the front to provide assistance.

"Junior Brother Po Wang, stop him!"

Immediately, Mirror Reflection True Monarch activated the Formation Flag in his hand, and also commanded his junior brothers to join him in using the Formation Power to intercept the enemy.

At this point, it's certainly not advisable to let them reunite smoothly.

While manipulating it, he couldn't help but admire it in his heart. No matter how many times he watched it, Azure Feather Burning Heaven Ash was so powerful that it was mesmerizing.

Especially this time, without the Mountain Protecting Grand Array to suppress it, it looks even more ferocious than before.

Yuan Zhanhui, who was also Newly Promoted True Monarch, felt a mixture of envy and jealousy at this moment.

Such extraordinary power truly lives up to its name of Divine Ability.

He only regretted that he was born Human Race and did not have the bloodline of the Azure Luan, thus he was destined to be unable to control such great power.

"This is a bit tough, but luckily I was prepared."

Xiao Chen silently took out the Nine Dragons Diagram from his Storage Ring.

This is arguably the strongest offensive tactic he currently possesses.

The reason he dared to continue to openly appear here after slaying the Sea Race Great Demon was that he wasn't afraid of the Sea Race coming after him.

This is also directly related to this trump card.

He only chooses to stay if he's confident of winning; if he simply needed to rely on the Night's Edge to survive, he would have left long ago.

"Open!"

Xiao Chen flicked his wrist, and the scroll unfurled with a "whoosh".

It only depicts nine Flood Dragon of different colors and shapes.

Apart from that, everything is left blank, without even a signature.

As eighteen streams of true energy rapidly flowed into the image, they covered the area around the dragon's eye.

Suddenly, the Flood Dragon in the painting slowly opened its eyes, then emerged directly from the painting and circled around Xiao Chen.

The nine Flood Dragon took off almost simultaneously, the first eight of them each measuring a full nine hundred feet in length!

The elements are arranged from left to right as follows: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and ice.

The one on the far right is a full 1,800 feet long, with gleaming scales all over its body, hooked claws, a waist as long as a river, and horns like small mountains; it clearly possesses considerable strength.

I must say, this thing is quite comprehensive.

Each of the nine Flood Dragon possesses a different attribute, which can effectively prevent them from being countered by the enemy during battle.

What's even more amazing is that these nine Flood Dragon were clearly inanimate objects, but were merely manifestations of Law Technique.

However, each of them carried Dragon Might that was almost tangible.

This immediately instilled a sense of fear in everyone present, a fear that seemed to originate from the very depths of their blood.

The Golden Core cultivator on both sides, in particular, instinctively lowered their heads, afraid to look directly at each other, lest they attract attention.

Even the Illusion Breaker True Monarch felt a chill run down his spine.

He stared at the nine enormous Flood Dragon, his legs trembling, and even holding the Formation Flag in his hand brought him no sense of security.

Objectively speaking, with his current skill level, he'd probably struggle to even handle one of them.

I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret and anger.

What he regrets is that when the ambush was announced, he didn't say a few more words of advice.

Even a fool could tell that Hidden Heir like Xiao Chen must possess some kind of Life-Saving Trump Card.

What angered him was that he had clearly mentioned it once before, but neither Yun Qing nor Jin Luan had listened to his advice.

Why don't these damned guys listen to his advice?

What should we do now?

However, Yun Qing and Jin Luan had no time to think about those things.

They were each struck by their own unique shock.

"This feeling... is it His Venerable One's aura?"

Yun Qing, who had served near the Venerable One for many years, immediately sensed that this oppressive aura seemed somewhat familiar, and was then dumbfounded. "Impossible, how is this possible?"

He stared blankly at the Flood Dragon, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

I even started to doubt myself.

How did you get such a tail feather?

Jin Luan was also stunned; in her eyes, the fourth Flood Dragon was merely a facade.

Its core is a burning Golden Tail Feather, radiating rich and pure Fire Spiritual Power.

Unlike ordinary feathers, the Golden Tail Feather of the Jin Luan Clan are extremely precious.

Each time a stalk is plucked, it leads to a period of weakness lasting several years, and it takes hundreds of years to recover.

Furthermore, the Jin Luan Clan was already small in number, so there was almost no circulation of them to the outside world.

Where did Xiao Chen get this thing from?

Could it be that they secretly captured or hunted a Luan Bird?

The thought that some of her own kind might be captured and killed filled Jin Luan with barely suppressed rage.

This mindset was completely different from when she heard about the killing of the Mud Carp or the fall of the Wang Family Ancestor.

It was a genuine feeling of grief and indignation, which was accompanied by hatred.

Fueled by her rage, the flames around her intensified.

"Actually, this Nine Dragons Diagram was originally prepared for Jin Luan."

Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Yun Qing: "I didn't expect there would be one more."

"But it's alright, this way we can avoid waste."

As he spoke, he pushed forward with both hands at the same time.

Immediately, the five Five Elements Flood Dragon on the left rushed towards Jin Luan, while the remaining four Flood Dragon surrounded Yun Qing.

The surrounding Entrapment Formation is still in operation.

However, the sudden addition of nine Flood Dragon to the formation greatly dispersed the suppressive force.

After being distributed evenly, the Formation Power that fell on each person was almost negligible.

At the same time, as the nine Flood Dragon exerted their power simultaneously, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi immediately fell into complete chaos.

In particular, the golden Flood Dragon actually absorbed a portion of the Geng Metal Qi from the killing formation to replenish itself.

Simply put, this kind of hastily prepared trap was indeed too rushed.

Faced with targets far exceeding expectations, the desired effect was immediately lost.

In an instant, the entire sea area was filled with colorful spiritual light.

A jumble of sounds mingled together, interspersed with different but intense fluctuations of Spiritual Power, violently stirring the heartstrings of everyone present.

"Oh no, something's wrong!"

Immediately Mirror Reflection True Monarch's heart sank, sensing that the situation was starting to turn out badly.

With his keen eyesight, it wasn't hard to see that Yun Qing and Jin Luan had fallen into a disadvantageous position, and it seemed like they had no way out.

Despite the continued spread of scorching heat from the Azure Feather Burning Heaven Ash.

However, the battle should come to a head before it burns down the nine Flood Dragon.

If no new variables emerge, then the Sea Race should lose this battle.

Given the current situation, another defeat could completely reverse the course of the conflict on the West Front front.

Ah~!

Yun Qing suddenly roared, as he was now completely entangled by the longest Flood Dragon.

Immediately afterwards, the shrimp shells all over its body creaked under the strain.

Only two breaths had passed before the outcome was decided in terms of pure strength.

This is quite normal; if someone is even 10% weaker in terms of strength, the result of the confrontation will be an easy crushing defeat.

Unfortunately, Yun Qing became the loser.

He struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free no matter what.

At the same time, Xiao Chen even used his Divine Sense to command the two Flood Dragon, Wind and Thunder, to surround Yuan Zhanhui, who was not far away.

"Jian Ying, what are you waiting for?"

Jin Luan unleashed a powerful burst of energy, shattering the surrounding Five Elements Spell, and seized the opportunity to shout, "Quickly use that demonic weapon!"

As a reclusive tradition, the Illuminating Void Sect has collected many useful items.

One of them is a Demon Summoning Bell that can summon the Demon Phantom descend into the world.

He had previously mentioned this item to Jin Luan to demonstrate his loyalty and trust, and even showed it to her.

This naturally became the Sea Race' hope for emergency response.

"Okay!"

The Mirror Reflection True Monarch immediately agreed and took out a special small box.

He shouted, "Junior Brother Po Wang, quickly lend me a hand!"

With his left hand, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it at the Gang Yuan True Monarch who was clinging to him.

That jade pendant was a special defensive Spirit Artifact.

It immediately transformed into a solid bubble, firmly protecting Gang Yuan True Monarch and confining him inside.

Immediately afterwards, the Mirror Reflection True Monarch opened the small box.

With a wave of his hand, he took out five Five Elements Spiritual Objects of different attributes, and simultaneously refined them into five streams of Spirit Liquid with his true essence, which he then poured into the box.

The box shattered instantly, and a small spirit shuttle, only a few feet long and four feet wide, emerged from it.

Just as Illusion Breaker True Monarch approached, he heard a loud shout, "Junior Brother, relax!"

Immediately, he felt his grip loosen, and his body tilted as he landed inside the shuttle.

It turned out that Mirror Reflection True Monarch had snatched the Formation Flag from his hand and casually tossed it away without hesitation.

Then, as he stepped into the spirit shuttle, he gave his junior brother a hard shove, pushing him into the shuttle as well.

"What are you trying to do!"

Yun Qing was the first to notice the anomaly and roared angrily, "If you dare to desert in the face of battle, His Venerable One will certainly not let you off!"

Jin Luan was startled upon hearing this, but she was too busy dealing with the attack to speak.

Instead, Yuan Zhanhui suddenly turned around and shouted, "Daoist Jian Ying, give me a ride!"

However, his calls were completely ignored.

In situations like this, bringing one more person means one less chance of escape.

The Mirror Reflection True Monarch decisively chose to leave him here to distract the pursuers.

However, before leaving, he took out a small Bronze Bell.

At the same time, he decisively took out a special fourth-tier blood-type spiritual item and incorporated it into the device, then shook it vigorously.

"Ring! Ring! Ring!"

After three crisp sounds, a phantom image of a Demon with a blue face and fangs appeared.

He was a hundred feet tall, completely naked, with disheveled hair and a fierce look in his eyes.

"Fellow Jin Luan, I'm so sorry!"

The Mirror Reflection True Monarch shouted, "The Demon is here; I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he immediately activated the spirit shuttle, which was even three points faster than the Blood Escape, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

Deprived of its command, the Demon Phantom went berserk and pounced on the nearest one, Gang Yuan True Monarch, who had just broken free from the bubble.

The reason Mirror Reflection True Monarch was willing to use spiritual objects to activate the demonic soldiers before leaving was because...

It wasn't because of Jin Luan; it was simply to cover his retreat.

"They actually ran away?"

Xiao Chen glanced at Yun Qing, Jin Luan, and Yuan Zhanhui, who were struggling, hesitated for a moment, and still did not choose to use the Mechanical Grappling Claw to hold them back.

Firstly, you can run away from the monk, but you can't hide from the temple.

After the two members of the Illuminating Void Sect fled, their location remained extremely fixed unless they abandoned the mountain gate and warehouse.

Once the battle is over, it should be enough time to catch up.

The key point is that the Sect Warehouse and Scripture Pavilion are definitely not going anywhere.

Secondly, the Mechanical Grappling Claw can only be used once per battle.

It would be better to save it to deal with Yun Qing or Jin Luan, who are clearly more threatening.

After all, according to the information provided by Fan Qilang, Great Demon of this level is almost indistinguishable from a cultivator.

It's very likely that they also possess some kind of Life-Saving Trump Card to escape.

If two members of the Illuminating Void Sect were left behind, allowing Yun Qing or Jin Luan to escape, it would actually be a loss.

"Snap! Crack!"

At this moment, Yuan Zhanhui was besieged by the Flood Dragon, Illusion Breaker True Monarch suddenly fled. Without the main force Entrapment Formation and killing formations immediately shattered.

The Han Chuan True Monarch immediately came to the side of the Gang Yuan True Monarch to help suppress the berserk Demon Phantom.

"Daoist Xiao, I surrender!"

Yuan Zhanhui looked around and, seeing that the situation was hopeless, immediately shouted, "Actually, I was coerced by the Sea Race and had no choice but to become your enemy!"

"I grew up in the Compassion Sea, and I have a deep affection for this place."

"I only got on the bandit's ship because I listened to the slander of that treacherous Fan Qilang and was threatened with my life by Jin Luan."

"But in my heart, I have always been a member of the Human Race!"

He struggled desperately while crying and begging for mercy.

The main point is to repeatedly state that although he is a member of the Sea Race, his heart is with the Human Race, and how agonizing this period has been for him, and that he has long wanted to abandon the darkness and embrace the light.

However, Xiao Chen naturally ignored these words.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, there's no need to shout anymore; it's a waste of your energy."

"Go and say what you have to say to my Flood Dragon."

Seeing Xiao Chen's resolute attitude, Yuan Zhanhui felt a chill run down his spine.

As Newly Promoted True Monarch, his strength was far weaker than Yun Qing's. At this moment, he was being besieged by two Flood Dragon and was already on the verge of his limit.

"Daoist Xiao, do you truly intend to commit such a heinous act of killing?"

"Snap!"

As they were speaking, Yuan Zhanhui's spirit shield was finally shattered completely.

With death looming, he changed his tune once more. "Xiao Chen, how cruel you are! Aren't you afraid of ending up like this one day?"

"Little Brat Xiao Chen, you brat, Curse you to a terrible death, to be forever damned... Ah~!"

Before the lightning pierced his dantian, Yuan Zhanhui cursed loudly, attempting to leave a final Curse.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was instantly blasted into dust.

As for the remaining Curse, let alone the fact that he doesn't know any Curse techniques at all, even if he did, Xiao Chen Divinity Veil, so it has no effect whatsoever.

At the same time, Han Chuan True Monarch and Gang Yuan True Monarch have also dealt with the Demon Phantom.

This thing shouldn't have been so easy to deal with.

However, since the Mirror Reflection True Monarch had fled, things were much easier to handle without his command.

The battle was nearing its end at this point.

Both Yun Qing and Jin Luan were clearly losing their strength and looked like they were about to be overwhelmed.

It wasn't that they were too weak; it was simply that the Nine Dragons Diagram, as a supreme treasure capable of dominating most of the Compassion Sea, was far too powerful.

For example, at this moment Han Chuan True Monarch and Gang Yuan True Monarch wanted to lend a hand.

But they found that they couldn't get close to them at all, or rather, even if they joined in, they could hardly help.

Yun Qing was now nearly dead.

He also realized that if he couldn't escape, he might be doomed here today.

Although the cost of escaping is quite high, it's better than dying.

Finally, he made up his mind and his Demonic Essence surged.

"Whoosh~, boom~!"

The world fell silent instantly. First, a powerful surge of Spiritual Power swept evenly across a radius of a hundred miles, suppressing everyone's movements.

Then came the loud explosion, albeit belatedly.

The four Flood Dragon responsible for besieging Yun Qing were simultaneously vaporized, and even the two Flood Dragon next to him were severely injured.

"Ding~ Ding~ Ding~ Ding~!"

Numerous fragments rained down like a storm, striking the spirit ship's Defensive Formation and the Four Symbols Suppressing Mountain Shield in front of Xiao Chen, producing a crisp sound like striking iron.

Upon closer inspection, the fragments were clearly Yun Qing's carapace.

As Mutated Bloodline, he possesses a unique ability: to use his own carapace as Spirit Artifact armor.

But over the years, only he himself knew that this armor could actually self-destruct.

Although doing so would mean permanently losing the shell.

However, its unparalleled power still managed to create an opportunity for him to escape.

Yun Qing immediately activated his Innate Divine Ability, simultaneously unleashing it on Xiao Chen, Gang Yuan True Monarch, and Han Chuan True Monarch.

They hurriedly fled to the south.

"What's wrong? I can't move!"

Gang Yuan True Monarch instinctively wanted to give chase, but immediately realized that he seemed to be carrying a heavy burden, and his movements became slow and sluggish.

The Han Chuan True Monarch beside him was also unable to move.

Only Xiao Chen swayed and blocked Yun Qing's path in time.

He retaliated with a palm strike. "Sky-rushing Palm!"

Not only did it immediately interrupt the opponent's escape, it also created a hole tens of meters wide.

Ah~!

Yun Qing, having lost his shell, let out a miserable cry and immediately forced himself to use his innate Innate Divine Ability again to slow down Xiao Chen's speed.

Then it turned and fled north.

Xiao Chen used his Divine Sense to control the other five Flood Dragon to suppress the Jin Luan.

He activated the <Flying Cloud Stepping Wave Art> to block Yun Qing's path again at an even faster speed, and delivered another palm strike to him.

This palm strike created a gash nearly a hundred feet wide.

Countless pieces of shrimp meat flew everywhere, as if a rain of meat was falling from the sky.

"How can you still move?"

Yun Qing ignored the pain, her eyes filled with terror. "Why weren't you affected?"

Was he just too nervous, or did his Divine Ability malfunction?

So he frantically activated his supernatural Divine Ability, unleashing them twice in succession at Xiao Chen.

The loss of a large amount of lifespan caused him to feel weak, dizzy, and his aura as Fourth-Order great demon dropped significantly.

However, this also proves that the operation was definitely successful this time.

Yun Qing then forced himself to catch his breath and turned back to run south again.

However, in a flash, he saw Xiao Chen blocking his way again.

He acted as if nothing had happened, delivering a swift and decisive palm strike.

It's as if all the lifespan that was consumed was wasted.

"Clang!"

However, this palm strike had no effect.

The moment the flame left his hand, he was drawn to the Jin Luan in the distance, broke free of his control, rushed over, and was devoured by her.

Xiao Chen turned his head to look.

All the blue feathers on her body stood up straight and were now on fire.

His entire body was surrounded by pure blue flames, like a Great Sun in the sky, radiating an increasingly intense pressure.

"Yun Qing, listen carefully!"

Jin Luan suddenly spoke up, "I'll cover your escape. Immediately abandon your physical body and use the Demon Infant to flee."

"Remember to tell His Venerable One everything that happened here when you get back."

"Kill the traitor of the Illuminating Void Sect, kill Xiao Chen to avenge me!"

After saying that, she suddenly flicked her wrist, deliberately sending out three Golden Tail Feather.

Incredibly, three smaller Jin Luan appeared on the spot, each flapping its wings and charging towards the three True Lord of the Heavenly Dipper Sect below.

Although such Incarnation has limited power.

However, it is still sufficient to temporarily restrain the newly promoted Rift Void True Monarch, as well as the Gang Yuan True Monarch and the Han Chuan True Monarch who are affected by their innate Innate Divine Ability.

Finally, the Jin Luan's true form completely transformed into fuel.

In an instant, it devoured the surrounding Flood Dragon and pounced straight at Xiao Chen.

Judging from their expressions, they were clearly prepared to die Mutual Destruction.

By burning himself out as fuel, he unleashed the most powerful Azure Feather Burning Heaven Ash of his life.

"Splash!"

Under such an attack, the Four Symbols Suppressing Mountain Shield became as fragile as glazed tiles, instantly shattering into pieces.

Xiao Chen also vanished without a trace.

At the same time, the Jin Luan burned completely, exploding and scattering into countless falling sparks.

Even Yun Qing, who was standing nearby, was ignited by the aftershocks of the Azure Feather Burning Heaven Ash.

So he decisively abandoned his physical body, used his Demonic Essence to protect his Demon Infant, and desperately fled to the south.

One hundred li, one thousand li, ten thousand li!

Having escaped thousands of miles away, Yun Qing finally had time to discern directions and ponder what to do next.

To be honest, if we go back like this, the Venerable One will definitely be furious.

However, given how severely he was injured, even if he managed to survive, he wouldn't have many days left to live.

In that case, it would be better to report the situation back promptly.

"Yes, report back and inform the Venerable One he has killed Xiao Chen to avenge himself!"

Yun Qing's gaze grew increasingly crazed. "Have the Venerable One kill him..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly saw a familiar figure emerge from the air.

What happened? Is he hallucinating because of his severe injuries?

"Sky-rushing Palm!"

Xiao Chen delivered a finishing blow, ending his life.
