"Roar!"
Xuan Zi charged straight at Mu En and Yan Shaozhe, his hands densely covered in dark red patterns that made both arms look blood-red.
Seeing Xuan Zi coming directly at them, Yan Shaozhe instinctively moved to shield Mu En.
"Stand back!"
But Mu En flung Yan Shaozhe onto Sea God Island. A formidable aura erupted from his body, and a pillar of white light shot into the sky.
Then a massive white dragon radiating the power of light spiraled out.
It was Mu En's martial soul, the Radiant Sacred Dragon!
Two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red soul rings-all nine were coated in a faint golden glow.
With Mu En's power unleashed, Xuan Zi's aura was once again crushed.
"Roooar-"
The Radiant Sacred Dragon roared and lunged at Xuan Zi, wrapping him in its body. Intense light poured down, scorching him with an incessant sizzling sound.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
Xuan Zi could only roar like a wild beast, pounding the Radiant Sacred Dragon madly while his Taotie Martial Soul gnawed at its body.
Pain crossed Mu En's face, but he held on, driving the Radiant Sacred Dragon to unleash its power of light once more and suppress Xuan Zi.
Xuan Zi gradually quieted down. The dark bloodlight covering his body was forced into the space between his brows, forming a hideous mark that writhed like magma.
"Hah!"
With a sharp cry, Mu En controlled the Radiant Sacred Dragon, bringing Xuan Zi back to the top floor of the Sea God Pavilion and laying him on the stone platform.
Finally, energy lit up across the platform, enveloping the sleeping Xuan Zi.
Once this was done, Mu En's aura began to plummet. His entire presence withered like fresh green leaves and new branches rapidly drying up and fading.
"Teacher!"
