After leaving the Great Dream Marsh, Ning Xiaochuan immediately combined bodies with Little Red. Flapping a pair of Flame Dragon Wings dozens of meters long, he flew into the boundless wilderness.
Before long, they had traveled tens of thousands of miles.
Suddenly, a bone-chilling gale swept over, blowing towering trees and massive boulders into the sky and carrying them into the thick clouds.
Winds surged and clouds roiled, dark clouds veiling the moon.
Little Red's voice entered Ning Xiaochuan's ears. "What powerful Demon Qi! Ning Xiaochuan, our tracks have been exposed. It must be powerful demons catching up to us! What do we do now?"
Ning Xiaochuan had long expected the demon expert lurking in the shadows to make a move, so he was not alarmed. "Little Red, hide to one side first. I'll use the power of the Sub-God Blood Robe to kill it."
"Roar!"
Before Little Red and Ning Xiaochuan could undo their fusion, a gigantic claw tore through the dense dark clouds and slapped down from the heavens.
That claw was hundreds of meters wide, covered in glistening green scales.
Compared to that claw, Ning Xiaochuan's body was no larger than a speck of dust.
"Whoosh!"
A towering azure ancient tree grew from Ning Xiaochuan's body, blocking the giant claw for an instant.
"Crack! Crack!"
The giant claw shattered the azure ancient tree and struck Ning Xiaochuan and Little Red.
Man and dragon fell from the sky together, smashing a huge crater into the ground.
Because the Azure Wood Sky Garment's defense had blocked most of the giant claw's power, Ning Xiaochuan and Little Red were not severely injured.
"So this is the strength of an Old Demon King at the seventh level of the True Person Realm. A single strike shattered my Azure Wood Sky Garment!"
