"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
Although Nan Ji's voice came from behind, Zhao Gongming didn't dare to stop.
Instead, Zhao Gongming said, "Fellow Daoist, run quickly!"
At this moment, Zhao Gongming's hair was disheveled, and his clothes were tattered with scars, making him look quite pathetic.
Meanwhile, Nan Ji followed leisurely behind him.
Nan Ji was originally the first immortal crane from the southernmost region after the creation of heaven and earth, so his speed was naturally not slow.
What's more, he had successively obtained the Three Pure Ones Primordial Scripture and the second sermon at the Purple Heaven Palace, and had also received special tutoring from the Dao Ancestor, in addition to the reinforcement from the Twelve Ancestor Witches' wine essence.
At this moment, if Nan Ji wanted extreme speed, coupled with his understanding of space and wind laws, a single flap of his wings could cover a hundred and twenty thousand li.
"Little brat, don't run!"
"Quickly tell us where those three immortal maidens are!"
The black and gold flood dragons behind them pursued them relentlessly. Their mountain-like massive bodies rolled on the waves, stirring up ripples.
"Dream on!"
After Zhao Gongming shouted loudly, he said to Nan Ji beside him, "Fellow Daoist, Gongming will remember this kindness. Those two flood dragons are at the perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and possess yin and yang energies. Please leave quickly, Fellow Daoist."
Although Zhao Gongming's realm was lower and he couldn't probe Nan Ji's realm, perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal was already top-tier in the Great Desolation.
Then Zhao Gongming said to Nan Ji again, "Please leave your name. If Gongming is fortunate enough to survive, I will visit you again another day."
"This poor Daoist is Nan Ji of Xuanqing Peak."
After Nan Ji finished speaking, he no longer fled with Zhao Gongming but stopped and faced the two flood dragons.
Although those two flood dragons were indeed a minor realm higher than Nan Ji, he would now teach them that realm was not the most important thing in the Great Desolation.
Seeing Nan Ji stop, Zhao Gongming, who had intended to flee, also stopped.
"Fellow Daoist Nan Ji, don't confront them, just run!"
Looking at Nan Ji's demeanor, Zhao Gongming assumed he hadn't yet experienced the harshness of the Great Desolation and urged him on.
"It's alright, Fellow Daoist, just watch..."
Nan Ji was about to take out Senior Martial Uncle's Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to gain favor with this future outer disciple senior disciple of the Intercepting Sect.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gongming stepped in front of Nan Ji first, his face solemn, and said, "Gongming will never forget your kindness. If I meet misfortune later, please escape quickly, Fellow Daoist."
After speaking, Zhao Gongming prepared to attack.
Nan Ji saw this and thought, Indeed, Zhao Gongming is someone I can get along with.
The two Primordial Flood Dragons, seeing Zhao Gongming stop, coiled their massive bodies and said, "What, little Daoist, have you made up your mind?"
"Heh heh, just offer your three sisters to my brother and me for dual cultivation, and I'll guarantee your safety in the East Sea," another flood dragon said with a sinister smile.
These words struck Zhao Gongming like a knife. His eyes turned red as he said, "This poor Daoist will fight you!"
Unexpectedly, just as Zhao Gongming was about to fight the two flood dragons to the death, a pagoda that blotted out the sky suddenly appeared in the sky.
The pagoda erupted with ten thousand rays of golden light, and endless mysterious yellow energy cascaded from its base. It was Nan Ji's Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
"Hmm, as expected, with higher cultivation, this pagoda is even easier to use," Nan Ji mused.
The mysterious yellow energy instantly enveloped Zhao Gongming and Nan Ji, protecting them.
Although Zhao Gongming didn't recognize the treasure before him, he felt that it was no ordinary item, and his mouth fell open in astonishment.
The flood dragons, who had intended to capture Nan Ji and the other, showed grave expressions upon seeing the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, clearly recognizing its origin.
"Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!"
"Who are the Three Pure Ones to you?"
Unlike Zhao Gongming, the two flood dragons were born from the primal yin and yang energies catalyzed by the Ancestral Dragon. They naturally had inherited knowledge of this acquired treasure of merit.
"I am the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the Great Disciple Nan Ji under the Jade Pure Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate!"
Standing within the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, Nan Ji was fearless. As he uttered these words, his heart was filled with emotion.
Hearing Nan Ji's introduction, Zhao Gongming was immediately filled with emotion: In the Great Desolation, having a master truly made a difference. A sense of yearning arose in his heart.
"You..."
Upon hearing Nan Ji's background, one of the flood dragons immediately showed signs of backing down. However, the other flood dragon directly said, "Why fear the Three Pure Ones? When our Dragon Clan dominated the Great Desolation, who were the Three Pure Ones?"
Although the Witch and Demon races had not yet officially contended for dominance of the Great Desolation, the Dragon Clan had already begun to decline rapidly.
Nan Ji laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Oh? Then let's have a fight and see."
The two flood dragons said no more. Their massive dragon bodies began to coil around each other.
With two dragon roars, their intertwined bodies immediately generated a massive amount of yin and yang energy.
In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color due to the influence of the yin and yang energy.
The two flood dragons intertwined, tearing through space as they charged towards Nan Ji and Zhao Gongming. Wherever they passed, all things crumbled, transformed by the yin and yang energy.
Nan Ji watched with a solemn expression, not expecting these two Primordial Flood Dragons to be so powerful. He quickly increased the power he was channeling into the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
Instantly, the pagoda's Mysterious Yellow Qi surged out like a waterfall, firmly protecting Zhao Gongming and Nan Ji within.
Bang!
As the two flood dragons collided, their force and Yin-Yang Qi were neutralized by the Mysterious Yellow Qi cascading from the pagoda.
The violent impact of the two flood dragons caused the pagoda to emit a booming sound.
Accompanying this impact, the East Sea below Nan Ji was shaken by the flood dragons' force, creating a massive vortex.
"Is that all?" Nan Ji said disdainfully upon seeing this.
In truth, Nan Ji wasn't worried about the pagoda's defensive capabilities.
This pagoda was already a supreme treasure, and furthermore, it was refined by his Senior Martial Uncle, Laozi.
Even though Laozi had lent this treasure, if any real danger arose, his Senior Martial Uncle would sense it immediately and control the pagoda.
The two flood dragons, hearing Nan Ji's words, were unwilling to back down. They immediately separated and extended their sharp claws to grab at the two.
But as their claws reached out to them, they discovered that the Mysterious Yellow Qi before them was incredibly hard. Their dragon claws actually ached from the impact.
Although the two flood dragons were enraged, they were completely helpless against Nan Ji and Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming watched this scene with his blood boiling. If he had such a treasure, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state before. Thus, he felt a greater longing for the status of a disciple of a powerful figure like Nan Ji.
One of the flood dragons even cursed furiously, "Disciples of the Three Pure Ones, hiding in a turtle shell, what kind of skill is that!"
"Then how about trying this!"
Saying this, Nan Ji summoned the Soul Slaying Staff and took it in his hand.
Nan Ji held the Soul Slaying Staff with both hands and exerted his strength. Lifting it above his head, he fiercely smashed it down at the claw of one of the flood dragons.
Accompanied by a dragon's roar, the clouds within a thousand-mile radius instantly scattered.
The moment the Soul Slaying Staff struck down, it smashed the dragon's claw into a bloody mess.
"Kid, this karma is..."
As the injured flood dragon was about to say something, it felt a foul power rapidly spreading from its wound, madly corroding its Primordial Spirit.
