"Bone dagger?" Kong Chen's pupils contracted slightly. In that instant, his fighting form revealed a fatal opening. The powerful green flood dragon seized the chance to close in, his right hand transforming into sharp dragon claws that shot straight for Kong Chen's exposed abdomen.
Cherry blossoms whirled through the air, immediately forming a barrier before Kong Chen, but they were still a little too late. After fighting for so long, that green flood dragon demon had already learned how formidable Kong Chen was. Now that he had caught even the slightest opening, he had no intention of retreating. Even if the flames released by those cherry blossoms were extremely powerful, he would clash head-on this once. He did not seek to kill with one blow, but he was determined to severely wound this human cultivator.
At that critical moment, the darkness rippled. A fang-shaped dagger gleaming with a ghastly white light streaked through the air. All anyone saw was a black shadow flashing forward with several successive steps. When it landed for the last time, the dagger swept backward in its wielder's hand and sliced directly into the dragon claw formed by that green flood dragon demon.
There was no sound, nor were there any strange effects. Yet the next moment, the manifested dragon claw was severed cleanly and fell from the sky. Blood sprayed everywhere, accompanied by the miserable scream of the Green Flood Dragon clan expert.
"Go!"
Just as Meng Jingxian was about to continue his attack and pursue the demon, Kong Chen's urgent voice rang out. Meng Jingxian froze for a moment, but did not think much of it. He followed the countless illusory cherry blossoms conjured by Kong Chen and swiftly retreated, temporarily withdrawing from the battlefield.
"What happened? What was wrong with you just now?"
