Feeling that he had advanced to a Five-star Dou Sheng, the North Dragon King burst into unrestrained laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! That's right, this is the power I wanted! Now no one can stop me. I am the true Dragon Emperor!"
With that, the North Dragon King, covered from head to toe in blood-red energy, charged at Zi Yan. Zi Yan swung the Dragon Slaying Sword and brought it down, but the North Dragon King easily blocked it. The gap between their realms had become far too great, and the Dragon Slaying Sword's suppressive effect was no longer enough.
"Drop dead!"
A massive hand formed from blood-red energy seized Zi Yan tightly. No matter how she struggled, she could not break free.
"Damn it! You lunatic! You even refuse to spare your own clansmen!"
"It is their honor to contribute their strength to me. Now, your strength will be mine as well."
A blood-red dragon head appeared, intending to swallow Zi Yan whole.
At that critical moment, Lan Hong finally made his move. With a single palm strike, he shattered the enormous blood-red hand binding Zi Yan and pulled her back to his side.
"Brother Lan Hong, I'm sorry. I couldn't beat him."
"It's all right. You've already done very well. Leave the rest to me."
"Mm, Brother Lan Hong, teach that lunatic a harsh lesson!"
No matter how Zi Yan changed, beside Lan Hong, she was always that mischievous and adorable little girl.
When the North Dragon King saw Lan Hong step forward, his expression turned solemn. Although the Dragon Transformation Demonic Array had affected his mind, he had not yet lost all reason.
"Who are you? You are not from the Great Void Dragon Clan. You'd better not meddle in our clan's affairs."
