Master, Spare the Dragons Beneath Your Sword-They're Friendly Dragons!

Listening to Zhou Qingqing's complaints,

the Three Pure Ones all nodded, deeply agreeing.

The Dragon Clan had possessed the greatest momentum in the last Calamity and had been the strongest of the three primordial clans. But with Ancestor Dragon's fall, their former glory had long since vanished like smoke.

The East Sea had indeed once been territory controlled by the Dragon Clan.

But now...

If the Dragon Clan still arrogantly believed that everything in the East Sea belonged to them, then they deserved to die. They were courting death.

Especially since they had directly provoked the Three Pure Ones.

That only added another layer to their sins.

Tongtian had yet to put away his Ten Thousand Swords Gourd. The sword lights that had originally descended upon the island instantly turned around and shot toward the flood dragons that had offended them.

Tongtian showed no mercy whatsoever.

The two members of the Dragon Clan before them radiated killing intent. They were clearly the sort who had bathed in dragon blood during the previous Calamity.

Since they dared reveal killing intent toward them, Tongtian would naturally answer slaughter with slaughter.

The Dragon Clan members who had let out those dragon roars had never expected Upper Pure Tongtian to be so decisive and ruthless. In the blink of an eye, he had gathered such sharp sword qi.

With even the slightest carelessness,

they might be obliterated by those sword lights.

The cultivator they had stopped possessed terrifying divine abilities, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm. They had picked a target far too formidable.

At once,

the two dragons transformed, revealing their true forms to withstand Upper Pure Tongtian's sword strike.

Sword qi stretched across hundreds of millions of miles; a single sword's light chilled the East Sea.

Petty Dragon Clan—how laughable, how laughable.

Watching her third master wield the sword lights, Zhou Qingqing praised him inwardly. She casually pieced together a few lines of poetry to extol her third master's elegance.

Then she saw the two Dragon Clan members, who were about to be pierced through by the sword lights, suddenly use Heavenly Law, Earthly Manifestation and reveal their original forms, becoming golden flood dragons one hundred thousand zhang long.

Wait, golden flood dragons... could these be those two flood dragons that become the top-grade postnatal killing treasure, the Golden Dragon Shears?

Third Master, spare the dragons beneath your sword! They're friendly dragons! This thing can only become a spirit treasure while alive. It would be such a pity if they died!

Still, I probably don't need to say anything. Third Master should spare their lives.

"..."

A moment ago, Upper Pure Tongtian had still been immersed in the joy of Zhou Qingqing's praise, determined to chop these ancient flood dragons, who did not know what was good for them, into several pieces.

The next moment, he heard his disciple say that these flood dragons were friendly dragons and could become the top-grade postnatal killing treasure, the Golden Dragon Shears.

That turn was truly a little too abrupt.

Suppressing the urge to spit blood,

Upper Pure Tongtian used immense willpower and great magical power to withdraw some of the sharpness and killing intent from the sword lights.

The sword lights pierced through the two ancient golden flood dragons.

But—

the two flood dragons did not die.

Eek, Third Master really held back. This is Third Master for you—he really saw the golden flood dragons' special nature.

He saw nothing of the sort.

Jade Pure Yuanshi watched his third brother's awkward behavior and could barely stand to look.

Supreme Pure Laozi, meanwhile, warned himself not to act too hastily. Otherwise, he would end up like his third brother, with no room left to maneuver.

The two golden flood dragons that had fallen onto the sea stared wide-eyed, their dragon eyes filled with deep apprehension.

The instant they had truly seen Tongtian, they had already sensed that something was wrong.

They had not expected Upper Pure Tongtian to be even more formidable than they had imagined.

The Dragon Clan also cultivated their physical bodies. They had believed their powerful flood dragon bodies, capable of contending with spirit treasures, would suffice. Yet before that terrifying sword qi and sword light, they had completely lost their intended effect.

Upper Pure Tongtian had pierced them with ease.

So long as he wished it,

the two golden flood dragons had no doubt that they would be cut into eight or nine sections by a single sword.

Tongtian fixed his gaze on the two golden flood dragons before him. No matter how he looked, he could not see any sign that they could transform into the top-grade postnatal killing treasure, the Golden Dragon Shears.

Still,

since Zhou Qingqing had said they could, then they certainly could.

Tongtian's thoughts stirred as he carefully considered his wording, preparing to make the golden flood dragons lying in the sea be sensible and transform into the Golden Dragon Shears themselves to admit their fault and show their sincerity.

However,

before he could settle on his words, space beside the two golden flood dragons rippled, and a man's figure suddenly appeared.

He wore a blue-gold dragon robe and emanated an aura beyond that of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

The moment he appeared, he instantly stood before the two golden flood dragons.

With a flick of his finger, spiritual qi pulsing with life flowed into the two flood dragons' bodies, helping them dispel Upper Pure Tongtian's sharp qi and repair their shattered flesh.

Wow, I never heard that there was an episode like this when Third Master refined the Golden Dragon Shears.

The gazes of the Three Pure Ones simultaneously narrowed.

This should be the change brought about by their arrival at Golden Turtle Island ahead of time.

In the original course of events,

Upper Pure Tongtian should only have discovered Golden Turtle Island as a cultivation ground at a later time.

By then,

Tongtian's cultivation would have been deeper and his discernment more exceptional, allowing him to easily see through the method by which the golden flood dragons could become a scissor-shaped spirit treasure.

At that time, Upper Pure Tongtian's cultivation should have been higher than that of this Dragon Clan member who had now appeared.

Since Zhou Qingqing had never heard of this matter, that meant this person had not appeared at that point in time.

But now,

his cultivation surpassed that of the three of them.

Naturally, he could appear before them and stop them from killing the golden flood dragons.

"Fellow Daoists, these golden flood dragons are the ones I sent out to search the seas. I know the two of them offended you, Fellow Daoists, but could you forgive them for my sake and for the Dragon Clan's sake?"

Tsk, I never expected you to be a user of the Face-Face Fruit's power too.

Those golden flood dragons just revealed killing intent toward my three masters. Not killing them on the spot and letting them become the Golden Dragon Shears was already tremendous mercy, all right? How did he still have the nerve to say that?

Upper Pure Tongtian raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Fellow Daoist of the Dragon Clan, not killing them just now was already forgiveness."

"If the two of them voluntarily transform into the spirit treasure Golden Dragon Shears and serve at my command, I will spare them for this offense."

Tongtian had not known how to put it in the first place.

Zhou Qingqing had directly laid out a template, so he simply copied it.

Although the aura of this newly appeared Dragon Clan member was above that of the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian would not give him face merely because his cultivation was higher than theirs.

Just as Zhou Qingqing had said,

what face did the fallen Dragon Clan still have?

The two golden flood dragons' expressions changed when they heard Tongtian's words.

They cultivated the Golden Dragon Transformation Art taught to them by Ancestor Dragon. By linking their auras together, they could become a spirit treasure and cultivate toward Ancestor Dragon's path.

They had not even had time to use it in their earlier battle.

Yet Tongtian before them had unexpectedly seen through it at a glance.

These three cultivators before them truly were not simple!

The newly appeared male cultivator of the Dragon Clan frowned slightly. Traces of vast pressure descended from his body—it was dragon might.

"Impossible. We can offer gifts and apologize, but transforming into the Golden Dragon Shears for you to command is impossible!"
