Pfft!
Zi Yan's body did not move in response to the North Dragon King and the other two fleeing. Her cold purple eyes stared at the place where the three had vanished. A moment later, the golden longsword in her hand, seemingly formed from liquid, slowly rippled before dispersing into nothingness. As the Dragon Slaying Sword vanished, Zi Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, and her body slowly toppled backward.
Xiao Yan was startled at the sight. He hurried forward and caught her, his heart aching as he looked at her utterly pale face. It seemed that using the so-called Dragon Slaying Sword had drained Zi Yan immensely, and this depletion did not appear to be merely a loss of Dou Qi. "Brother, I'm fine..."
Lying in Xiao Yan's arms, Zi Yan looked at him with her purple eyes, a rather forced smile appearing on her face.
Xiao Yan could not help shaking his head. Still holding Zi Yan, he plopped down in midair. His own condition was extremely terrible as well. If not for the bloodline power flowing from his heart, which had repaired many of his damaged meridians, he would probably have been unable to move like a cripple. Even so, Xiao Yan was now at the end of his strength. The injuries he had suffered while fighting the three Dragon Kings alone were simply too severe.
"Here, eat these. They're your favorite pills..."
Xiao Yan took a jade bottle from his Storage Ring, poured out several round medicinal pills, waved them before Zi Yan, and smiled.
"Do you still think I'm a little girl?"
Hearing Xiao Yan tease her, Zi Yan could not help rolling her eyes at him. Still, she accepted all the pills without ceremony and stuffed them into her mouth. She ate pills
