Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, Bai Ling'er's expression suddenly changed, and she stood up with a tense expression.
"Sister Ling'er, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
" Xiao Wu, be careful, someone's here to cause trouble again!" Bai Ling'er said quite seriously.
"Someone? Who is it?" Xiao Wu asked, but then realized, "Ah, is it that Fire Dragon King, Bakal?"
"Yes, that's him!" Bai Ling'er said, "He must have come for the master again this time. He's still up to no good!"
Just as Bai Ling'er had predicted, Bakal soon appeared from the sky, looking down at her, and said, " Bai Ling'er! Where is that human? Why hasn't he appeared yet?"
"Our lord is undergoing the Dragon God's test in the Dragon Tomb. Bakal, what are your intentions in coming here at this time?" Bai Ling'er retorted sharply.
"Hmph! A month has passed, and he still hasn't come out. He must have died inside long ago!" Bakal sneered. "I've said it before, how could humans possibly accept the power of our Dragon Clan!"
"You're talking nonsense! Our lord carries the aura of the Dragon God; he is the Person of Destiny of our Dragon Clan!" Bai Ling'er said angrily. " Bakal, you'd better leave now, or I won't let you off the hook!"
"Leave? Hahaha, Bai Ling'er, let me tell you, I never intended to leave today!" Bakal said. " The Dragon Clan has existed for so many years; it's time for someone to inherit the Dragon God's power. And that person isn't that human; it should be me!"
"What are you planning to do?" Bai Ling'er asked.
"Of course I'm going to inherit the power of the Dragon God, but perhaps before that, I should first take that human out of the Dragon Tomb!" Bakal said, and then flew towards the Dragon Tomb.
Bai Ling'er naturally couldn't let him succeed, so she quickly reverted to her dragon form and appeared in the air to block him. Bakal glared angrily at Bai Ling'er and said, " Bai Ling'er, get out of my way!"
"Impossible! Bakal, the Lord is still inside. I will not let you set foot here under any circumstances!" Bai Ling'er said resolutely.
"My lord, my lord, it's my lord again! Bai Ling'er, why do you keep bringing up that so-called lord in every word you say!" Bakal suddenly said angrily, " Bai Ling'er, do you know, I've loved you, loved you for two hundred thousand years! Two hundred thousand years!"
Bai Ling'er looked at the excited Bakal, but dared not look him in the eye, and said helplessly, "I know, Bakal, but there's nothing we can do about it."
"I've always considered you my brother. I've even wondered if you might be the perfect partner for me, but Bakal, no, we're not right for each other. Love can't be forced."
"Then why did this human win your heart in less than six months!" Bakal roared angrily. "Is it just because he's some kind of Heaven's Chosen? Wasn't it him who chose you to become a saintess?"
"This..." Bai Ling'er blushed and said, "No, I fell in love with the Lord before I became a Saintess!"
"I'm sorry, Bakal, but a short, sharp pain is better than a long, drawn-out one. I ultimately cannot grant your request."
At this moment, Bakal's anger had reached its peak, and he could no longer listen to Bai Ling'er's words. As the Fire Dragon King, he was known for his fiery temper, and the only reason he had been able to endure it until now was because of Bai Ling'er's presence.
"Enough, Bai Ling'er!" Bakal said, "Today, no matter what, I will enter the Dragon Tomb! Even if it means stopping this human from becoming a god, I will go in! Only I can become the Dragon God!"
Then, Bakal planned to bypass Bai Ling'er and rush into the Dragon Tomb, but Bai Ling'er was already on guard against him and naturally stopped him immediately.
"Fine, fine, since that's how it is, Bai Ling'er, if you're going to block me, then don't blame me!" Bakal said, spitting a burst of Dragon Flame towards Bai Ling'er Bai Ling'er, which she dodged.
Subsequently, the two dragons engaged in a fierce battle in the air. Bakal was naturally much stronger than Bai Ling'er, but as Bai Ling'er was a special race among the Dragon Clan, the White Spirit Dragon, it was not easy for Bakal to defeat her.
Seeing the two dragons locked in a fierce battle in the air, Xiao Wu anxiously cried out, "Sister Ling'er, let me help you!"
"No! Xiao Wu!" Bai Ling'er cried out urgently, "I can hold him off, Xiao Wu, please don't come any closer! The commotion here will soon reach Dragon Valley, and Uncle Lan and the others will be here very soon!"
" Xiao Wu, you go back to the Dragon Tomb first and take care of yourself!"
Hearing Bai Ling'er say this, Xiao Wu wanted to help, but she had to admit that she couldn't be of any help in a battle of this level. So she had no choice but to follow Bai Ling'er's advice and run towards the Dragon Tomb.
"Hmph! That woman was brought here by Qi Ling, wasn't she!" Bakal said, looking at Xiao Wu. "How can a place like the Dragon Tomb be a place where humans can just come and go as they please! Anyone who offends the Dragon Clan will be punished!"
As he spoke, Bakal launched a fireball from his mouth, hurtling towards Xiao Wu with unwavering resolve. This attack was far beyond Xiao Wu's ability to withstand.
"No!" Bai Ling'er saw Bakal's attack heading towards Xiao Wu and hurriedly tried to stop it, but Bakal instantly blocked her way, saying, " Bai Ling'er, don't even think about it!"
" Bakal, do you know what you've done?!" Bai Ling'er roared, "You've brought trouble upon yourself!"
"Hahaha, I am the Fire Dragon King Bakal! I'd like to see what kind of fire can burn me!" Bakal laughed loudly.
The incredibly powerful fireball hurtled straight towards Xiao Wu, and just as it was about to hit her, Xiao Wu used her Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body, to block the attack.
However, an attack like a fireball cannot be neutralized simply by blocking it; it involves an explosion and burning process. Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body only lasts for three seconds. After that time, she was immediately knocked to the ground by the impact of the explosion and suffered damage.
"Hmph, she's lucky to have survived my attack!" Bakal said. "I'd like to see how many times she can use her skill."
" Bakal!" Bai Ling'er shouted angrily, no longer intending to hold back. To Bakal, he was no longer her ally, but her enemy.
Just as the two dragons were about to clash again, a melodious dragon roar suddenly came from the deepest part of the Dragon Tomb.
The dragon's roar was so magnificent and awe-inspiring, as if it came from ancient times. Just listening to it made one feel as if they were facing some enormous being, inevitably giving rise to a sense of submission.
