The rain was still falling.
Icy rainwater, mixed with mud, slid down Jiaoxu's cheeks.
She gazed helplessly at the overcast sky.
Why had it come to this?
She was the princess of the White Flood Dragon Clan, noble of bloodline, worshipped by countless aquatic tribes from the moment she was born.
Even the ruler of the Western Region Demon Court had to treat her father with courtesy.
And now, she had condensed a Dragon Pearl and stepped into the Core Formation Realm. Given time, she would surely transform into a True Dragon and restore the glory of her forebears!
But the woman before her...
The aura around her clearly belonged only to a human martial artist who had just entered the Core Formation Realm, no more than the initial stage.
So why was her strength so terrifying?
And that bizarre flesh and blood... what was that?!
That was absolutely not a method a human should possess!
"What... exactly are you?!"
Jiaoxu struggled, her voice hoarse.
Jiang Yuechu expressionlessly reached out, seized her slender ankle, and hauled her from the mud pit as though lifting a dead fish.
"Food doesn't need to ask so many questions."
Before her words had faded.
She swung Jiaoxu around and smashed her viciously into the ground once more!
Boom—!!!
The earth groaned again.
This time, Jiaoxu could not even scream before she felt every bone in her body on the verge of shattering.
She spat out a mouthful of blood streaked with gold.
This would not do.
If this continued, she would be smashed to death alive!
The moment she thought of the undisguised hunger in the other woman's eyes, an icy chill flooded her heart.
But her Dragon Pearl had not yet been fully nurtured. If she forcibly used her divine ability, then...
Suddenly.
