Meanwhile, Yin Qiuran saw that the Flood Dragon's primary target was Yang Siqing.
He immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it at Yang Siqing, shouting, "Fire!"
More than a dozen subordinates simultaneously aimed at Yang Siqing and fired.
*Click, click, click...*
"Miss, be careful!" one subordinate roared, throwing himself in front of Yang Siqing.
*Squelch, squelch, squelch...*
The man's body spasmed violently as a cloud of blood mist erupted, and he died on the spot.
"No!"
Yang Siqing screamed, "Dodge! Quickly dodge!"
Those with Yang Siqing retaliated while seeking cover.
Having lost Yang Siqing as its target, the Flood Dragon suddenly turned towards Yin Qiuran.
"Now's the time, Meng Jiao, go and check what's in the cave. I'll deal with this evil Flood Dragon!"
Chen Jie finished speaking and leaped from halfway up the mountain.
"Vile beast! You court death!"
Chen Jie appeared and, with a flip of his hand, sent a ball of spiritual energy streaking towards the Flood Dragon.
"Roar!"
With a pained hiss, the Flood Dragon turned and ferociously lunged at Chen Jie.
"There's someone else?"
Seeing Chen Jie descend from the sky, Yin Qiuran was overjoyed and immediately called out, "Friend, help me stall this beast, and my Yin family will be eternally grateful!"
Chen Jie glanced at him but said nothing.
Instead, he turned and led the Flood Dragon towards the mountaintop.
Chen Jie's body seemed to possess a magnetic pull as he scaled the steep mountainside, his speed no slower than if he were on level ground.
"This..."
Yin Qiuran's expression shifted dramatically.
This man's strength far exceeded his expectations.
He hardened his resolve and ordered his subordinates, "Ignore those people. Follow that young man!"
"Call for helicopters!"
*Whirr, whirr, whirr...*
At Yin Qiuran's command, three camouflaged helicopters rose from the distant mountains and flew in a triangular formation above Yin Qiuran.
As the landing gear descended, Yin Qiuran and his men climbed aboard.
The helicopters then pursued Chen Jie.
At the summit, He Yufei and a group of female colleagues arrived by cable car.
Initially, the tour guide was supposed to take them elsewhere, but these women had subtly directed the guide to lead them in the direction Chen Jie had gone.
Unbeknownst to them, they had arrived at this very location.
At the edge of the cliff, the Flood Dragon lashed out with its tail, a powerful dragon's swing aimed at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie dodged, twisting to the side.
With a deafening boom, the mountainside trembled under the Flood Dragon's attack.
The Flood Dragon then let out a hiss.
The tour guide looked towards the cliff and saw a thick, long serpentine tail flash and disappear.
"Oh my god! What is that? Is it a snake? How can a snake be so thick!"
Several women even took out their phones to film, but the snake's tail had already vanished, so they captured nothing.
"Is this some kind of performance arranged by the scenic area?"
From behind, another cable car arrived.
Xing Tianci and others disembarked.
Hu Ji pointed at He Yufei and her group, saying, "They're over there!"
Xing Tianci said fiercely, "Follow them. Today, I'll teach that slut a lesson!"
However, just as they approached He Yufei, a low hum emanated from the distant cliff.
Immediately, three helicopters appeared within their field of vision.
"What's going on? Even helicopters are here!"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Then, below the cliff, the Flood Dragon attacked Chen Jie again.
Chen Jie's expression turned stern as he shouted, "Vile beast, you court death!"
Chen Jie leaped, landing directly on the Flood Dragon's head.
He then raised his right arm, gathering spiritual energy, and struck the Flood Dragon with his palm.
*Boom!*
Under Chen Jie's palm strike, the Flood Dragon was almost knocked unconscious. Chen Jie pressed his advantage, delivering several more blows.
*Bang, bang, bang... kuAiδugg*
"That's Chen Jie!" Everyone on the mountaintop looked down at the cliff, exclaiming in shock.
"This..."
Xing Tianci's face was filled with terror.
Was this still human?
Fighting a giant serpent at the edge of a cliff.
Completely unfazed by the sheer drop below.
"Damn, that's incredible! Who is that guy?" Yin Qiuran, inside a helicopter, swallowed hard.
Seeing the Flood Dragon losing its ability to resist, Yin Qiuran quickly shouted into his communicator, "Kill him!"
Instantly, the weapons on all three helicopters aimed squarely at Chen Jie.
In the air, Chen Jie's gaze sharpened.
"You court death!"
He moved his entire body under the Flood Dragon, and the beast thrashed violently from the blows.
Then, Chen Jie grabbed the Flood Dragon's tail and swung its entire body towards one of the helicopters.
*Crash!*
With a massive explosion, the helicopter closest to Chen Jie was struck. Sparks flew in mid-air, and it plummeted downwards, its fuselage tilted.
"Damn it, he's too strong! Is he even human? Run, run! Don't provoke him again!" Yin Qiuran was utterly terrified and ordered his men to steer the aircraft away without hesitation.
He was filled with immense regret.
Initially, seeing Chen Jie's immense power, he feared Chen Jie would compete with him for treasure and had intended to use the Flood Dragon to kill Chen Jie.
But now, Chen Jie's demonstrated strength filled him with dread.
Offending such a person meant he would never sleep peacefully again.
"Want to leave? Stop!" Although Chen Jie had lost his support, his body remained suspended in the air, not falling.
He pointed towards another helicopter from a distance.
Seeing this, Yin Qiuran was petrified.
"He... he can fly! Is he an immortal?"
He no longer hesitated and sped away.
However, the helicopter's rotor blades suddenly stopped spinning.
A piercing alarm sounded from the cabin.
No matter how the pilot operated, he couldn't restore the helicopter to normal.
"Binding Spell!"
Chen Jie had already reached the sixth layer of Qi Refining, far surpassing his initial strength. Thus, the effectiveness of the Binding Spell had also increased significantly.
Freezing the helicopter's rotor blades was no challenge.
*Boom!*
Finally, two helicopters, one after another, crashed to the ground, completely disintegrating. The Yin family subordinates inside did not survive.
In the air, Chen Jie looked towards the last helicopter.
It was too far away, and the Binding Spell had no effect.
Moreover, he couldn't truly fly, so he could only let them escape.
Chen Jie then began to descend.
On the mountaintop, all the onlookers instinctively rubbed their eyes.
The shock in their hearts was immeasurable.
They remained in a state of profound astonishment.
Xing Tianci swallowed bitterly, a wave of indescribable fear washing over him.
Chen Jie was an immortal.
How ridiculous, to have even considered competing with him for a woman.
Now, he felt no resentment towards Chen Jie, only endless fear.
He no longer dared to covet He Yufei.
He Yufei, on the other hand, clenched her fists excitedly.
"What kind of person have I met!"
"Is this Chen Jie's true identity?"
The other women on the mountaintop also thought bitterly: A man like this, how could he possibly fancy someone as ordinary as themselves? They were not even worthy of carrying Chen Jie's shoes!
They could only secretly harbor fantasies of Chen Jie's comfort in the depths of their hearts.
"Damn it! Why did I have to meet such a person! Why did someone I could never hope for appear! Why does heaven torment me, making me love and be unable to attain!"
