The tone, which sounded gentle and tender yet was utterly false and affected, could only belong to Su Xianzhi!
The moment she lunged, the large hand also descended, and if it had grabbed her, the outcome would have been dire!
However, just as Jin Bao'er was about to be captured…
"Roar!!"
An astonishingly potent aura erupted, emanating faint golden-black light from her person! Dense dragon's breath shielded her tightly, forcefully repelling the restraint of the large hand with an absolute, awe-inspiring power…
Immediately after, everyone was stunned!
Within the golden-black radiance, a woman in white stood suspended in mid-air, encircled by a colossal and majestic black dragon! Its obsidian scales, illuminated by the fiery sunset, created a powerful visual impact!
A磅礴凶悍 divine beast aura permeated the air! The dragon's eyes, which surveyed the world with disdain, held a hint of fury. It raised its head to the sky and let out a furious roar, unleashing a torrent of power that struck directly at the master of the giant hand high above!
"Ah!"
Following a scream, the giant hand vanished instantly! Before leaving, it did not forget to retrieve the man on the ground, whose eyes were now vacant…
Just like that scene in Fenghua City long ago!
Now, everyone watched them in utter shock! That was the legendary Dragon Clan! And the most noble of them all, a Black Dragon!
"I… I’ll be damned… My life is complete!"
"A dragon… it's really a dragon!"
"A divine beast! It actually exists!"
"So powerful! I can barely breathe!"
"With just one roar… the strong expert from the Upper Realm was driven away? As expected… of the divine beast Black Dragon!"
"…"
While the surrounding cultivators were filled with awe and excitement, the woman at the center of the black dragon's embrace showed no reaction, her brow furrowed, her fingertips turning white…
Noticing this, the Black Dragon's massive eyes flickered with a dark light… It hadn't expected this! So, Su Xianzhi had such an incredible opportunity!
Following this, the Black Dragon slightly inclined its head and soared into the sky! Its nobility and power, soaring above all things, were terrifying!
Jin Bao'er also slowly landed, and a voice from a certain dragon reached her ears…
"If you wish to continue pursuing her, I can assist you!"
Assist you in attacking right now! Breaking through the barrier between the Upper and Lower Realms was nothing to him! Ascending was just a matter of tearing through the heavens! What could the Heavenly Dao do to him?
"No need!"
The refusal was firm and decisive. She slightly raised her head, and in her eyes, besides an unfathomable depth, there was a hint of knowing amusement!
"I said, there are no more grudges! As long as I don't see her…"
The implication was that as long as Su Xianzhi didn't foolishly provoke her again, she, having already avenged herself, would not dwell on the past! But if the other party dared to provoke her again… that would be a new grievance!
The man within the immortal mansion was taken aback by her words, then a slight smile curved his lips. She was so straightforward! He liked that!
With everything settled, the black clouds in the sky dispersed completely, and a soft, misty rain began to fall. The fiery sunset was dazzling and unrestrained!
The Upper Realm…
The man abruptly withdrew his external manifestation, grabbing a human figure in his hand and yanking it back with great force. In the massive, transparent mirror before him, the overwhelming pressure of a divine beast filled the space, followed by a golden-black dragon head slowly extending out…
Its menacing purple eyes, like the arrival of death, stared intently at the man. Its dragon horns stood erect, exuding silent pressure!
Seeing this, the man's pupils constricted, his blood seeming to surge backward, his hands utterly cold! He immediately shouted to wake the beautiful woman beside him!
"Madam! Quickly close the passage!"
The woman snapped back to attention and instinctively severed the connection. The dragon head was swiftly pulled back…
Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ah!!"
The white-clothed woman beside them stood in a daze, her expression terrified. Snapping back to reality, she let out a scream and collapsed heavily onto the ground!
The man, however, had no time to attend to her. His handsome brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with fear and shock!
"I was right… it was him! It's definitely him! He's not dead? Weren't they sealed? Why…"
After the shock of surviving the ordeal, a sharp pain emanated from his palm. He raised his hand, and his face turned even more ashen!
To the side of that old scar, a new, shorter wound was clearly visible. Blood flowed down his palm, forming a "x" shaped mark, not too small, not too large! The woman quickly applied medicine to his wound…
However, power imbued with the aura of the Heavenly Dao's purification would not heal easily…
"Was it that Black Dragon? He really…"
Before the woman could finish speaking, the man interrupted her, his tone chillingly cold!
"No… it wasn't him! It was that brat who killed my son!"
With that, the man ignored the woman's astonishment! He cast a dark and complex look at the mark on his hand, which seemed like a brand, and then at his daughter on the ground, her face full of shock…
Counting the time, it had only been five or six years in the Lower Realm, and that girl had advanced from the Nascent Soul stage to the Out of Body stage! Her speed was simply terrifying!
Even among the strong experts in the Upper Realm, such a monstrous speed was rarely seen! Perhaps not even the geniuses of the Gong Ming family could compare!
Such a terrifying individual, ascension was almost a certainty! Fortunately, that girl hadn't truly grown into her full potential yet; otherwise, even he might be wary of her in the future! Xianzhi… who exactly did she offend?
Half a month later, after a period of quiet, the cultivation world finally returned to normal and convened the Sect Grand Competition, held once every ten years!
Jin Bao'er sat serenely by the waterfall behind Huaming Peak in the Misty Sect, her heart incredibly calm…
"Junior Sister! Braised Abalone Chicken is ready!"
Luo Nanshan, with his plump and fair physique, flew over, panting! A bright, excited smile adorned his face… Right behind him followed the gossipy Guan Ziyun.
"I say, Senior Brother! You should really lose some weight! If you keep going like this, be careful that Senior Sister from the Beast Taming Sect cancels the engagement!"
Luo Nanshan's face flushed at her words, and he glared at her with embarrassment!
"Don't even start! Didn't that young lady from last time want you to take responsibility? What are you doing hiding on Huaming Peak!"
Hearing this, Guan Ziyun froze, his expression somewhat guilty!
"Bang!"
An explosion sounded from the distance, followed by the furious roar of the old man Hua Qingsu!
"You little brat! How many times have I told you, if you're not suited for alchemy, get lost and practice formations! My alchemy furnace! Eight of them have been destroyed this month!!"
This was followed by Chen Xuanyuan's apologetic voice, though he showed no true remorse… Even if he was scolded, he would still blow up furnaces next time! An unexpected persistence!
Jin Bao'er slightly opened her eyes. Her vast divine sense had already spread across the entire Huaming Peak, taking in everything! A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Everyone… was still the same!
"Junior Sister! This year's Sect Grand Competition is being held at the Beast Taming Sect! Aren't you going to watch?"
Beneath the waterfall, Bai Yileng, enduring the force of the cascading water, his tall physique radiating explosive power! His voice was calm.
"Mm, I'm going now!"
