"Torrential rain poured down from the sky.
Even Zhu Yin’e, who was hidden in the Yangtze River, felt something was amiss. She emerged from her underwater abode in surprise, her gaze fixed on the surface of the water above, as if piercing through the thick river water to see what lay beyond.
The little carp, following the corner of the wall, quietly slipped out the door, only to see her mother standing outside, which startled her.
“Hehe, I just came out for some fresh air. Little fish need fresh air too, you can’t always be cooped up inside.”
As the little creature spoke, her eyes darted around, avoiding Zhu Yin’e’s gaze.
But Zhu Yin’e had no time to be angry with her. She frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her expression, and simply led the little carp back to their water dwelling.
Seeing her like this, the little carp grew a little flustered.
She tugged at Zhu Yin’e’s hand and rubbed her little face against her mother’s hand.
“Mom, I’ll be good and listen. Please don’t be angry anymore, okay? It was all an accident today, it’s not my fault. It’s my little feet, they wanted to go out. It must be that when I transformed into a human, I didn’t communicate well with them, so they’re being naughty now. Oh, you naughty little feet…”
As the little carp spoke, she stomped her feet heavily twice.
Even though Zhu Yin’e was in a bad mood, she was amused by the little carp’s adorable antics.
If Zhu Yin’e could notice the abnormality, the demons in Jiangcheng surely couldn’t have missed this unusual weather.
However, Zhan Dundun was probably the unluckiest.
After relentless effort, Zhan Dundun finally deciphered some of the mysteries of the little trinket Liu Nanfeng had given him, obtaining some information.
He didn't make a phone call and decided to go directly to find Liu Nanfeng, planning to have him treat him to skewers that evening as thanks. It was only reasonable.
As he passed Zhang Xinwu’s Dashan Barbecue stall, he saw Zhang Xinwu packing up his stall, preparing for the evening’s business. He even went up to say hello, asking him to save a spot for him and that he’d be there for barbecue that night.
Zhang Xinwu readily agreed and decided to reserve the best beef for them, along with two bottles of beer.
After chatting about this and that, Zhan Zhongxiao finally took his leave and continued down the road.
Just as he was about to reach the coffee shop, he heard a rumbling sound from the sky. Then, dark clouds covered the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder, as if the heavens were about to collapse.
Before he could react, the pouring rain began to fall.
He hurried forward, intending to take shelter in the coffee shop from the downpour.
Just then, he saw the two Su sisters emerge from the coffee shop, one after the other.
Su Jinxiu, holding weapons in both hands, looked up at the sky with a solemn expression.
Zhan Dundun was taken aback and, standing under the coffee shop’s eaves, also looked up at the sky.
Liu Nanfeng was sitting in the coffee shop, looking up at the sky, when a colossal figure suddenly blocked his view.
Seeing that it was Zhan Zhongxiao, Liu Nanfeng was a little surprised, not expecting him to show up at this time.
Just as he was about to tap on the glass to alert others to come inside.
He suddenly heard a dragon’s roar from the sky, followed by a voice filled with hatred from above, "Feng Zhirun, I will kill you."
A giant dragon churned the dark clouds in the sky and swooped down from above, creating a massive vortex.
With such blatant disregard, ordinary people nearby naturally saw it, causing countless exclamations.
But at that moment, a wailing alarm sound suddenly echoed throughout Jiangcheng.
This alarm was unlike a typical air raid siren; its sound was very peculiar and intermittent. When ordinary people listened intently, they felt a momentary daze, but they quickly recovered and went about their business, completely ignoring the anomaly in the sky as if it didn't exist.
Zhan Dundun was a bit bewildered. He was just standing under the eaves to dodge the rain when he saw a giant dragon diving at him from the sky.
And it was shouting something about Feng Zhirun. He wasn't Feng Zhirun, so why was it targeting him?
But he had no time to ponder as the dragon’s claw was already reaching for him.
Honestly, Zhan Dundun was a little panicked. Although he had transformed into human form many years ago, he had no combat experience beyond fighting with his father and a few elders in his clan.
However, seeing the dragon's gaze, which treated him as insignificant as an ant, a surge of anger rose from his belly.
“Look at your mother~”
Zhan Dundun roared, his originally plump body suddenly grew taller, transforming into a giant four to five meters tall.
As he cursed, a colossal phantom of a panda appeared behind him, overlapping with his form. Simultaneously, he thrust out his claws to meet the approaching dragon claw.
Although Zhan Dundun’s size was now close to four to five meters, and his palm had become immensely large, he still appeared somewhat small compared to the giant dragon.
What was surprising, however, was that Ao Haiping was directly sent flying, sent back to wherever he came from.
“Ouch, I’ll be damned.”
This was likely Ao Haiping’s sentiment at that moment. He hadn't expected that such an ordinary little demon could send him flying.
But this only intensified his rage. He let out a sky-shattering dragon roar, steadied himself, and the rainwater in the sky formed countless water dragons that coiled around his body. Even the rolling river water surged into the sky.
Wrapped in boundless might, he swooped down from the sky once more.
“Zhan Zhongxiao, hurry back inside! He’s here for us,” Su Jinxiu blocked Zhan Dundun, saying.
“It’s fine, I’ll try to deal with him first.”
The fact that he had sent Ao Haiping flying earlier had truly made him a bit overconfident, thinking that the dragon race was nothing special.
Therefore, instead of dodging, he stomped on the ground and leaped into the air, drawing Ao Haiping’s attention.
“Roar~”
Ao Haiping let out a dragon roar, and the pouring rain seemed to freeze in mid-air for a moment. Then, an invisible ripple swept across, and the raindrops exploded in the air, forming vast swathes of mist that even obscured his figure.
Zhan Dundun was not to be outdone and roared at the sky as well.
“Roar.”
An invisible wave of energy scattered outwards, and the mist in the air was directly blown away.
But at that moment, a massive tail whipped down towards Zhan Zhongxiao’s forehead.
Zhan Dundun didn’t expect Ao Haiping to be so insidious as to sneak attack from within the mist. By the time he reacted, it was too late. Caught off guard, he was struck directly in the body, though he managed to raise his arm to block.
But this attack from above, and from a dragon no less, its power was immense.
Zhan Dundun, who had just leaped into the air, was directly knocked down, crashing to the ground with a deafening roar. He smashed out a massive pit, and the entire earth seemed to tremble. The river water churned up colossal waves.
Su Jinxiu’s heart skipped a beat. Worried that Zhan Dundun was injured, she was about to step forward when she saw Zhan Dundun shakily getting up from the crater.
His eyes were blood-red, and his body seemed to have grown even larger.
“Roar.”
He pounded his chest and let out a furious roar at the sky, his eyes filled with ferocity.
He then grabbed a piece of cement slab, which had been shattered by his fall, and hurled it into the air.
The immense impact not only pushed away the falling rain but also produced roaring sounds. Its might was truly terrifying.
Zhan Dundun himself didn’t stand idle. He leaped into the air again, and the giant panda phantom behind him became even clearer, as if adorning him with a massive panda armor.
The great battle was about to begin."
