Just then, a shadow fell over the two brothers.
Ye Yiqing tilted his head slightly and saw a huge red dragon slowly descending in this direction, with wisps of burning flames flickering around its mouth.
" Chi Jiu arrived, but couldn't participate in the battle. I'm afraid I'll have to spend ages coaxing her."
"Wow!" Ye Ciqing looked up excitedly, watching the flying dragon slowly descend.
The enormous wings flapped rapidly, compressing the air and creating a series of whooshing sounds. The powerful airflow blew away all the sand and stones on the ground, and Ye Yiqing's long hair and Ye Ciqing's clothes fluttered in the gale.
The dragon finally stopped in front of the two brothers, its enormous size like a mountain that covered them.
"Roar--!!!"
A deafening roar of dragons accompanied a burst of scorching flames that shot into the air. The intense heat of the flames distorted the air, and the ground began to tremble from the tremendous noise.
"Hey! Hey! Stop yelling! Stop yelling! You're going deaf!"
Ye Ciqing covered his ears, his face contorted in pain.
" [Ground] has already been defeated; it's none of your business."
The dragon, which had been roaring incessantly, suddenly stopped, its crimson pupils narrowing rapidly as it looked down at Ye Ciqing in disbelief.
A burst of red light emanated from its surface, growing brighter and brighter until it enveloped the entire dragon, transforming it into a completely red ball of light.
When the ball of light dissipated, the enormous red dragon had vanished, replaced by a red-haired woman with dragon-like features, dressed in a maid's outfit.
As the dragon transformed into a woman, the two people who were sitting on her suddenly lost their footing and fell from the sky.
One of the men carrying a long spear adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground without making a sound.
He even caught another child wearing a mask.
"Why were we defeated!"
The dragon maid angrily questioned Ye Ciqing, who, instead of being afraid, kept grinning slyly.
"Little Chi Jiu, don't be angry. There's nothing we can do about it. Our partner [Life] lured [Ground] here beforehand and dealt with it. I didn't know this would happen."
As she spoke, she secretly reached out a hand and touched Chi Jiu's dragon horns.
"Fight! I will!" Chi Jiu angrily brandished his dragon tail, the thick tail swaying in the air, looking extremely dangerous.
"Alright, alright, if you really want to fight, I'll take you to fight my brother sometime."
"Alright! Let's fight!"
Chi Jiu's eyes lit up, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight Ye Yiqing, but Ye Ciqing quickly pulled him back.
"Wait, not now!"
Ye Yiqing watched this scene helplessly, "Little brother, why did you put Chi Jiu in a maid outfit again?"
"Of course it's because it looks good!"
Ye Ciqing looked proud and made a gesture of display towards Chi Jiu.
"Dragon girls look so good in maid outfits!"
The child wearing a mask next to him seemed to be seeing Chi Jiu in his half-dragon, half-human form for the first time, holding his tail and looking at him curiously.
"Hey, Xiao Deng, long time no see! You've grown taller!"
Ye Ciqing grabbed the child's head and ruffled his hair into a mess.
Ye Yiqing looked at the man carrying the long spear, smiled politely, and greeted him.
"Long time no see, Bai Yu. I'm sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing."
Bai Yu merely glanced at Ye Yiqing indifferently, snorted coldly, and then turned away.
Ye Yiqing didn't pay much attention to this. "Now that the mission is complete, let's go back. Chi Jiu, please take us back."
Chi Jiu nodded, and was about to transform into dragon form when Ye Ciqing raised his hand to stop him, "Wait! Wait! Can you call me master first?"
Looking at Ye Ciqing's expectant face, Chi Jiu blinked and said in an extremely cute voice:
"Master~"
Ah~!
Ye Ciqing pressed his heart, his body twisting wildly.
"Alright, little brother, we should go now."
Just as they were about to leave, a distorted spherical space came from the horizon and stopped abruptly in the center of the city, which had been blasted into a flat plain.
"A bunch of naughty kids, disrupting official business can get you detained!"
An extremely arrogant voice rang out from behind them, and Ye Yiqing and Bai Yu were the first to notice and looked back sharply.
In the distorted void, a smooth opening slowly unfolded, like a door opening into space.
A man with a mocking smile stepped out of the door, counting on his fingers as he walked towards the Light God Society.
"How lucky I am to have run into the Light God Society."
His smile vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling expression. "Give us back our Meng Yuan..."
A Space Slash with no thickness slashed towards Ye Ciqing in the blink of an eye, arriving in front of him before he even had time to react.
Just as Ye Ciqing was about to be vertically split in two, a hand swiftly grabbed his wrist and yanked him sharply.
The Space Slash carved a smooth canyon into the ground where he had been standing.
Ye Ciqing, who had survived the ordeal, was pounding with fear. He didn't dare say anything more and just shouted.
"Unite, brother!"
"Protect us both for one second!"
As Ye Yiqing gripped Ye Ciqing's wrist, a mass of scarlet flesh suddenly grew, like a giant tumor that instantly enveloped both of them.
Chi Jiu smiled excitedly upon seeing the [Godslaying] Squad, and a scorching fire eye appeared in her mouth, fiercely blasting towards the enemies in front of her.
"Ha!!!!"
Flames that seemed capable of melting stone rushed towards Brown, a fierce cloud of smoke erupted from the 'door,' piercing through Brown and clashing with the flames.
The powerful airflow generated between the two forces stirred up all the dust on the ground, turning the surrounding area into a misty haze once again.
Amidst the swirling mist where flames clashed, a pair of sharp eyes slowly emerged, their dark outlines depicting a ferocious beast facing off against Chi Jiu.
The scorching flames and the silent smog seemed like two extremes, and as the two behemoths stared at each other, a fierce battle ensued.
Dust swept over everyone, forcing them to squint.
Amidst a cloud of dust, a glint suddenly flashed in Bai Yu's eyes. Without hesitation, he drew his spear from behind him, swiftly moved to the throbbing tumor, and swung it fiercely.
Clang!!!
The spear and the bladeless object clashed in mid-air, sparking a shower of fire in the dim space.
Lei Yong's sudden attack on the tumor was barely blocked by Bai Yu.
A powerful force surged like a tide, flowing from the spearhead to Bai Yu's arm, instantly splitting his hand and sending him flying.
"Use all your strength right away!"
Startled, Bai Yu quickly turned around and planted the spearhead in the ground, creating a huge trench before he could barely steady himself.
Without the slightest hesitation, just as Lei Yong was about to deliver his second blow, he threw his spear with all his might.
The process was so swift that he didn't even have time to aim at the opponent.
Strangely, the spear pierced Lei Yong's forehead with pinpoint accuracy.
A light pink shield appeared on Lei Yong's surface, and the spear was deflected the moment it made contact.
As the spear was deflected, Bai Yu's heart turned as cold as ice.
Just then, the child next to them moved.
