It was a purple savage dragon as large as a mountain. Its body resembled both a deer and a horse, with a thick, short neck and powerful limbs. A single horn, seemingly carved from purple jade, grew from its head, while its scale-covered crocodilian tail whipped continuously through the air.
Scorching breath billowed from its nostrils like two columns of air. Its reddened, miserable green eyes clearly revealed the towering fury in its heart.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar rang out, immense enough to pierce metal and split stone, shooting straight into the clouds. The forest trembled, birds took flight in alarm, and beasts fled frantically through the woods.
"It's the Thunder Dragon!"
The cultivators who had originally pursued the Purple Dragon King immediately felt a sense of foreboding upon seeing the berserk Thunder Dragon.
The Purple Dragon King streaked through the dense forest like lightning. Even when it encountered the Thunder Dragon, it did not slow down, passing straight through the area where the Thunder Dragon stood before vanishing without a trace.
"Damn it!"
Many people immediately felt deep regret.
After fighting a group of curse masters, the Purple Dragon King had forcibly used a divine ability to escape Yan Qingcheng. It was already at the end of its strength, making this the perfect time to capture it, yet the sudden appearance of the Thunder Dragon had ruined everything.
Though their hearts were full of regret, the Thunder Dragon before them did not care. At this moment, its fury had already soared to the heavens, because the Purple Dragon King was its child!
The mountain-sized Thunder Dragon began charging toward the cultivators. Its enormous body shook the ground, countless trees toppled beneath its charge, and innumerable savage beasts and wild animals fled in panic.
"Run!"
The cultivators turned and fled, but compared to the mountain-sized Thunder Dragon, a single casual stride of its was farther than they could run in half a day, let alone while the Thunder Dragon was charging at full speed.
"Ah!"
Several cultivators who were just a little too slow were caught by the Thunder Dragon and crushed into pulp beneath its feet. Those who had been slightly faster fared no better, struck into charred corpses by lightning summoned through the Thunder Dragon's innate divine ability.
"Roar!"
The Thunder Dragon continued roaring as it pursued the surviving cultivators.
Countless bolts of Purple Lightning, each as thick as water buckets, crashed down from the sky in a frenzy, instantly turning swathes of forest into charcoal. Massive lightning bolts struck the ground, blasting huge craters into it as dust and thick smoke billowed up!
In the sky, Yan Qingcheng frantically beat the Undying Sky Wings behind her, dodging the ceaseless Purple Lightning raining down from above. Miserable screams occasionally came from the forest below as unlucky cultivators were struck by lightning!
The enormous Thunder Dragon was like a walking mountain. Nothing could stop its advance, and vast stretches of forest collapsed beneath its feet!
"Ah!"
Yan Qingcheng, who had been swiftly evading the Thunder Dragon's attacks in the air, was suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning after one moment of carelessness, and she cried out in pain.
Although the Undying True Qi covering her body protected her, Yan Qingcheng still suffered grave injuries under the lightning attacks summoned by this adult Thunder Dragon. The Undying Sky Wings behind her instantly shattered, and even her clothes were almost completely burned away by the intense heat.
Like a bird with broken wings, Yan Qingcheng was severely injured and had nearly lost the ability to move. When the Undying Sky Wings behind her suddenly shattered, inertia sent her flying into a nearby Primeval Forest.
The Thunder Dragon was getting closer and closer!
"Roar!"
Upon hearing the Thunder Dragon's deafening roar, Bai He immediately felt that something might be wrong.
As he followed the direction in which the cultivators had pursued the Purple Dragon King, a purple savage dragon as massive as a mountain suddenly appeared before him.
Based on the plot he had once seen, Bai He recognized the savage dragon's identity almost instantly. It had to be the Thunder Dragon!
The enormous Thunder Dragon roared as it furiously destroyed everything before it. Countless bolts of Purple Lightning as thick as water buckets fell from the sky like rain, while miserable screams rang out from the distant forest.
Bai He knew that these people must have encountered this adult Thunder Dragon while capturing the Purple Dragon King. Perhaps the Purple Dragon King was this Thunder Dragon's child. Seeing everyone chase after the Purple Dragon King, the Thunder Dragon had immediately gone berserk and begun madly hunting down the pursuing cultivators.
Under pursuit from such a powerful adult Thunder Dragon, the cultivators could only scatter and flee. But looking at the ceaseless Purple Lightning falling from the sky, Bai He felt that few of them would escape the wrathful Thunder Dragon's pursuit.
Ahead of the Thunder Dragon, a purple figure flew swiftly through the sky, nimbly dodging bolt after bolt of Purple Lightning falling from above. It was Yan Qingcheng!
But even the best could make mistakes.
At last, Yan Qingcheng failed to evade a falling bolt of Purple Lightning in time. After being struck, the Undying Sky Wings behind her instantly shattered, and she immediately fell into the Primeval Forest below.
"Damn it! Should I save her or not?"
Watching Yan Qingcheng fall into the dense forest, Bai He's heart immediately fell into turmoil.
Saving her would undoubtedly mean taking a great risk, but if he did not, he would not be able to live with himself.
Watching a stranger die before his eyes and watching someone he knew die before his eyes were not the same thing at all. In any case, Bai He could not bring himself to be that heartless.
"I'll consider this repayment for saving my life last time!"
Yan Qingcheng had, after all, saved his life from Land back then. Moreover, he had secretly learned the God-Devil Undying Seal and the Undying Sky Wings from her. It was time to repay what he owed her!
Without further hesitation, Bai He made his decision almost instantly: he would save Yan Qingcheng!
Cold silver-white dragon scales instantly covered Bai He's entire body. Four slender arms and a strong, powerful dragon tail emerged from within him, while a small silver-white horn poked out slightly from between the hair atop his head.
Bai He instantly entered the Hidden Dragon Transformation. Crystal-like energy wings spread from his back, and with a light beat of the Undying Sky Wings, he shot into the sky and flew swiftly toward where Yan Qingcheng had fallen.
On the other side, Yan Qingcheng lay on the ground. Most of the True Qi in her body had been scattered by the lightning, and she now felt numb all over, barely able to move. Her internal organs burned with searing pain, as though they were on fire.
Watching the Thunder Dragon draw nearer and nearer, Yan Qingcheng could not help but feel despair. Was she, Yan Qingcheng, really going to die beneath this Thunder Dragon's claws today?
The Thunder Dragon's enormous claw slowly descended from the sky.
Just as Yan Qingcheng closed her eyes as if resigning herself to fate, a fierce gust suddenly swept past her. Then she felt herself being pulled into someone's embrace before soaring into the sky with a whoosh.
Realizing that she had not died, Yan Qingcheng slowly opened her eyes and turned her head with some difficulty. A very familiar face immediately appeared before her.
"Bai He?!"
