The Great Battle with the Jiao

On the long street, Ba Jiu walked forward, and a middle-aged woman who was coming towards him stopped.

"Mother," Ba Jiu whispered.

"Go back with your mother," the middle-aged woman said in a deep voice. Her expression was not good, Ba Jiu saw it clearly, which made him a little scared. He couldn't help but take a step back.

"Mother, I will not go back. I don't like staying in the Nine Heavens Mountain forever. I like the outside world and being with humans." Ba Jiu shook her head, her tone very firm.

"Boom"

The rumble of thunder echoed once more, seemingly expressing the emotions within the middle-aged woman.

Ba Jiu looked at the middle-aged woman and continued, "Mother, I know what you want. If you need me, you can come to me anytime. I just hope you won't take me back."

"Jiu'er, you have disappointed your mother greatly," the middle-aged woman said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Ba Jiu lowered his head slightly, not daring to meet the middle-aged woman's gaze any longer.

"Go back with your mother." The middle-aged woman's tone was unquestionable as she turned and walked towards the Zhenbei.

The middle-aged woman stopped after taking only two steps, turning her back to Ba Jiu and remaining silent.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap resounded in the sky.

"Splash!"

The rain poured down, and pedestrians on the long street hurriedly retreated. Only a middle-aged woman and Ba Jiu stood there on the vast street. The heavy rain was fierce, but it did not wet their clothes.

With a long sigh, the middle-aged woman stretched out a hand and said in a tone full of emotion, "Jiu'er, you've grown up."

"Mother..." Ba Jiu opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly his expression changed as a silent force struck him against the heavy rain.

"Smack!"

A middle-aged woman appeared where Ba Jiu had just been standing, her outstretched hand passing through a pool of black ink.

'Whoosh'

The heavy rain struck the ink directly, carrying it downwards with a 'pitter-patter' sound. The ink, mixed with the rainwater, split into countless tiny streams flowing towards the lower ground.

"Mother." Ba Jiu's voice came from behind the middle-aged woman. He looked surprised, as if he hadn't expected the middle-aged woman to hit him so hard.

"Whoosh"

The middle-aged woman didn't speak, but instantly appeared in front of Ba Jiu. She struck Ba Jiu with a palm strike. Ba Jiu tried to use the same move as before to escape, but found that his body was restrained. He was shocked and raised his hand to block the middle-aged woman's attack.

"Bang!"

The rain was loud, but the Tackle was even louder, and Ba Jiu was thrown backward like a cannonball.

"Whoosh"

The middle-aged woman disappeared again! She reappeared in the direction where Ba Jiu had fallen backward. This time, she extended both hands, with dark blue fluorescent light swirling around them, as if she were trying to catch Ba Jiu as he fell towards her.

Ba Jiu naturally sensed the presence of a middle-aged woman behind his head, but the woman's blow had left him numb and unable to move, and her speed was so fast that he had no chance to dodge in an instant.

"Whoosh~"

Just as Ba Jiu was about to crash into the middle-aged woman's arms, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the air. The middle-aged woman frowned slightly and disappeared from the spot.

Ba Jiu felt a sudden relaxation in his body, and his movements became free. He turned around in mid-air and stopped in his tracks.

Where the middle-aged woman had just been, the Qingshuang Sword was stuck.

It turned out that Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang had appeared on this long street at some point and were slowly walking towards Ba Jiu.

"You're that dragon from Nine Heavens Mountain, aren't you? Why aren't you staying home cultivating and transforming into a dragon? What are you doing out here?" Ma Feifei asked in surprise. He was also a little surprised that this dragon had suddenly appeared. Didn't she know how dangerous human cities were?

The middle-aged woman stared coldly at Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang, her aura tense, and said in a deep voice, "Jiu'er is my child, and I'm taking him back."

"Your child? Don't joke around, you two aren't even the same species." Ma Feifei was amused. A dragon could give birth to a Qilin? Even hybrids don't have that kind of ability! Not to mention, Ma Feifei had already learned from Ba Jiu that the two of them were not biologically related as mother and child. The dragon kept Ba Jiu by its side in order to evolve its own bloodline so that it could extract Ba Jiu's blood at any time.

"Hmph, I advise you not to stop me from taking Jiu'er back, otherwise I will lead all the spirit beasts of the Nine Heavens Mountain to raze your Dubian Town to the ground." The middle-aged woman was too lazy to argue with Ma Feifei and directly made up her threats.

"Do you think you can go back?" Ma Feifei looked at the middle-aged woman and said coldly. This dragon was too restless; Ma Feifei couldn't let her cause any more trouble.

"You think you can stop me?" The middle-aged woman glanced at Ma Feifei with disdain, then vanished into thin air in the pouring rain...

It disappeared without any warning.

Ma Feifei found it quite novel, because he also couldn't sense the middle-aged woman's figure; she seemed to have truly vanished into thin air.

"Whoosh~"

At this moment, Yun Qingyang moved. The Qingshuang Sword, which was originally stuck in the ground, suddenly rose up and shot into the sky.

"Despair!"

Yun Qingyang appeared in mid-air, gripped the Qingshuang Sword in his right hand, and thrust it into the air.

"Ding~"

A crisp sound rang out, and the dragon's figure appeared, a green sword blocking the attack of the Qingshuang Sword.

"Buzz~"

An unparalleled aura erupted from the dragon's body. Ma Feifei sensed the danger and used his Innate Purple Qi energy to form a protective shield around himself.

"Thump~"

The light shield was slightly distorted by the Tackle, but it was not broken. Seeing this, Ma Feifei couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed Divine Beast had survived from ancient times. Its aura alone was so powerful. If Ma Feifei himself were to face it, it was still unknown whether he could win.

After all, Ma Feifei's strength is undeniable, and the Dragon God Arm might not necessarily gain the upper hand.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, Ma Feifei looked up and was immediately shocked to see that Yun Qingyang had crashed into the ground!

This was the first time Ma Feifei had seen Yun Qingyang at a disadvantage in battle since he had known her, not even during her duel with Saint Chu Feng Yiming.

This dragon, which survived since ancient times, is indeed unfathomably powerful.

However, Yun Qingyang was not injured and quickly got up from the ground to fight the dragon.

The battle between the two was very fast. Ma Feifei couldn't even see the trajectory of their attacks. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was constantly raging, and the rain that was falling from the sky turned into Icicle Spear that pounded on the ground.

"Ding~"

Another Tackle, and this time the two seemed evenly matched, both retreating a hundred steps. It was at this moment that Jiao used the steps she had taken to turn around and fly towards the Nine Heavens Mountain. She actually took the initiative to retreat and avoid the battle.

"Still trying to run?" Ma Feifei sneered, using the enhanced version of the Soaring Cloud Riding Mist Somersault Cloud he had purchased from the System Shop, and appeared in the path of the dragon's retreat in one somersault.

At the same time, a black book appeared in Ma Feifei's hand, its size increased by three points, and golden light swirled around its pages.

Jiao was also taken aback by Ma Feifei's sudden appearance. She hadn't expected Ma Feifei to be faster than her, especially since speed was her forte.

However, there was no time for her to continue being surprised. Facing the mysterious and unpredictable owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, she dared not be arrogant, and a faint blue light flashed around her.

"Hiss!"

A giant snake appeared out of thin air, its head wide open, and it lunged at Ma Feifei.

"Come on!" Ma Feifei's entire body was enveloped in golden light. He swung the black books in both hands and advanced instead of retreating, charging forward to meet the attack head-on.

"Bang!"

When the two meet, a burst of light erupts.

"Buzz~"

The light faded, leaving only Ma Feifei in the sky. He stared blankly at the book in his hands, stammering, "... went in?"
