The Flame Sea Red Dragon King opened its jaws and lunged straight for Zhang Ping's head.
In the blink of an eye, its jaws closed around Zhang Ping's head, and his arms fell limp.
But just as the Flame Sea Red Dragon King let down its guard, Zhang Ping's hand shot up. He drove the Great Sun Boundary-Sealing Divine Needle toward its lower jaw.

Its exoskeleton shattered and streamed into the Great Sun Boundary-Sealing Divine Needle like water. The body below its head thrashed wildly, like a decapitated snake writhing in the lava, but nothing it did helped.
In the distance, Zhu Chongba and the others inside the Eightfold Tower stared in shock.
Zhu Chongba recovered quickly. "Here's our chance! Uncle Chen, hurry and teleport something over for me. I might be able to make Zhang Ping and the Mutated Beast die together!"

A moment later, Chen Jianbing frowned. A piece of flesh was missing from the finger
