Zi Yan's appearance, and the unexpected discovery of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, had rekindled the old man's hope. How he longed to see the Ancient Void Dragon Clan stand once more at the summit of the continent.
So when the North Dragon King set his sights on Zi Yan, Qing Mu knew that even if he truly died today, he had to create a chance for her to escape.
Xiao Yan's arrival gave him a real chance to do it.
"Young man, it's all up to you!"
Qing Mu cried out silently in his heart.
Locked in battle with two powerful opponents, Xiao Yan could not know what Qing Mu was thinking. He had pushed the Heaven Class Dou Technique Fire Glaze Fetal Beast Form to its limit, yet neither of the two dragons showed any fear.
Xiao Yan knew all too well that, in his current state, he would have a hard time gaining the upper hand against them.
The good news was that this was not his strongest state.
With a thought, Xiao Yan stirred the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline within him. All his Dou Qi turned violent in an instant. His strength, which had stalled at the peak of One-Star Dou Sheng, began climbing at a pace he could feel. Though it faltered briefly at the bottleneck of Two-Star Dou Saint, the unending power surging through him finally forced him across the threshold.
The power of the Xiao Clan Mark bolstered him!
Upon his forehead appeared the Xiao Clan Mark, the only one of its kind on the continent today.
"That's a Dou Di descendant's Clan Mark. It really is him!"
"I haven't seen a member of the Xiao Clan in so many years. Looks like I can finish one off with my own hands today."
