As he shouted, Master Feng rushed toward the bridge. As soon as he approached the bridge, Master Feng sat down next to Xi Xizhi, formed hand seals, and mobilized his cultivation to help Xi Xizhi confront the dragon.

Xi Zhen gazed into the direction of the dam and sighed sadly, "Is this the will of Heaven?"

Once the bridges are breached, the dams will be washed away by the flood, and that will be the beginning of the disaster.

Even if it's just a tiny bit of time, Xi Zhen will go through fire and water! With a leap, he instantly moved onto the bridge, shouting, "Damn dragon, I'll risk my life to make sure you never have a good time!"

A blinding light suddenly appeared, and beams of light shot out from Xi Zhen's body and poured into the barrier.

However, even with the combined efforts of the three of them, they could not stop the cracks in the bridge from widening. The cracking sounds were like the prelude to death, causing Xi Xizhi's heart to tighten and her output of spiritual power to increase rapidly.

She believed that An Honghan would not let her down! As long as she persevered, she was sure she could wait for him to come!

"Senior Xi, what do we do now!" If this continues, the bridge will be washed away in no time.

Xi Zhen also looked troubled and said through gritted teeth, "Master Feng, you hold on here. Disciple, hurry back and tell An Honghan to withdraw all the people who are repairing the dike. The dike will definitely collapse within two days. Once the dike collapses, none of those soldiers will survive."

This is the only way to reduce casualties.

As for him… a flash of ruthlessness appeared in Xi Zhen’s eyes, “I don’t believe this dragon can turn the world upside down! I’m going down there to fight it!”

Without giving Xi Xizhi a chance to refute, Xi Zhenyi finished speaking and then threw himself into the water, splashing up a huge wave.

Water splashed onto Xi Xizhi's face, making her shiver from the cold.

Xi Xizhi felt a mix of emotions, her eyes glistening with a faint moisture.

She had lived with her master for over ten years, so it wasn't difficult for her to see through his thoughts. Her master was not as good a swimmer as she was, so going into the water to fight a dragon was undoubtedly a desperate gamble!

"Go quickly..." Master Feng held up the barrier and urged Xi Xizhi, "Don't let your master's good intentions go to waste. He's trying to buy time for you and An Honghan."

Xi Xizhi withdrew her hand and stood up. "I'll be right back."

Xi Xizhi rushed out at top speed.

He kept telling himself that no matter what, he had to stop the dragon's actions.

"Hahaha... You have no choice... Once I get out, you will fall into the abyss of death." Wave after wave crashed against the bridge, and a huge black tail emerged from the water, stirring up waves. Only its head was firmly fixed under the bridge, as if it would soar into the sky once it broke free.

In an instant, waves surged one after another, the water surface like a boiling pot, with waves constantly crashing and pounding.

Seemingly sensing that someone was trying to leave, a pair of bright red eyes, as big as lanterns, stared intently in the direction Xi Xizhi had gone, deep underwater. The eyes gleamed with malice.

"Trying to tip off someone? Not so easy!" With the dragon's furious roar, a wave of water tens of meters high crashed towards Xi Xizhi.

Xi Xizhi had already expended a lot of spiritual energy maintaining the barrier, and in her haste to move forward, she ignored the danger behind her. By the time she realized that the air pressure behind her had changed, it was too late.

The waves surged in and crashed against Xi Xizhi's back, submerging her in the water.

When a wave of water concentrates and strikes a particular spot, the impact force is extraordinary.

The moment she bumped into Xi Xizhi's back, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The water was icy cold all around, constantly seeping into Xi Xizhi's mouth and nose, causing her to cough incessantly.

With her hand clenched into a fist, Xi Xizhi raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

She couldn't be so cowardly. Faced with this disaster, she couldn't back down. Enduring the pain in her back, Xi Xizhi paddled with both hands, swimming towards the dam.

For the past two days, An Honghan has spent most of his time diligently refining the pills given to him by Xi Zhen.

The dam was cracking more and more, and the soldiers could not keep up with the speed at which the waves were creating the cracks. As a result, more and more water was flowing out of the gaps.

The dam is on the verge of collapse...

Since arriving in Fengzhou, Dongfang Youyu has been following An Honghan. Seeing that An Honghan goes to inspect the dike every day, he and the two prime ministers naturally went with him.

An Honghan gazed into the distance, feeling extremely unwilling. He tried everything he could to break through that barrier and fuse the dragon pearls within his body, but there was no real progress at all.

The pills Xi Zhen gave him could indeed accelerate the fusion of the Dragon Balls, but only a small portion of it.

An Honghan's brows furrowed deeper as he grew increasingly worried about the situation over there.

"What's going on today? The waves are getting bigger and bigger!" Tan Hai observes the wave trend every day and can tell at a glance that something is wrong with the waves.

Ever since they learned that the flood was caused by a dragon, Liu Fuqing and Situ Feiyu hadn't had a good night's sleep. Upon hearing Tan Hai's words, they immediately noticed the strangeness of the situation.

Many soldiers, without time to move stones and mud bags, and with the determination to die, used their bodies to block the cracks in the dam.

Who could say they wouldn't be moved by this scene?

These soldiers were all under Tan Hai's command, which made him even more heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, the dam is about to collapse..." Tan Hai couldn't bring himself to say those two words.

An Honghan stared grimly at the dam with a stern expression.

Just then, a grayish-white shadow suddenly emerged from a wave.

An Honghan was startled. His body had already moved in that direction, so fast that it was impossible to see clearly. He reached out and finally caught the grayish-white shadow just as it was about to be submerged by the waves again.

Liu Fuqing and Situ Feiyu immediately went over, and when they saw that the emperor was actually holding a person, they were both surprised.

Xi Xizhi coughed a few times and spat out some water. As soon as she saw An Honghan, she grabbed his arm tightly with her fingers. "Quickly...quickly retreat the troops. Qiao can't hold on any longer."

An Honghan hugged her tightly, turned around and walked away in a gloomy voice, and ordered sharply: "Tan Hai, make them all retreat, quickly... retreat as far as they can before the dam collapses."

After soaking in the water for a long time, Xi Xizhi's face turned pale, but if you ignored the injury on her back, she seemed to be in good spirits.

An Honghan held Xi Xizhi in his arms, and his arm inevitably brushed against her back.

Xi Xizhi winced in pain.
