In the Three Pure Ones Heaven, at the Spring Retention Banquet. Divine Princess Jiuzhao, who finally deigned to return from her human 'soft embrace' in the mortal world, sat at the left han...
Chapter 84 Chapter 84 "Cut out the submandibular pearl and give it to me. ...
Since the restriction was set up to allow Jiao Yi to protect only Jiu Zhao, Ying Luo had already considered the possibility of being discovered later.
To this end, he put in 100% effort to ensure that Jiu Zhao could not easily undo his magic.
Seeing the breath in his arms getting weaker and weaker, almost to the point of dying, Jiu Zhao had no time to think about anything else.
Tears were still gathering around her crimson pupils. She bit her tongue tightly, releasing the maximum force to attack the restriction of the mermaid robe. She endured the pain of being attacked by the magic power set by Yingluo, and finally broke through the stubborn Huaguang with a crisp sound similar to the breaking of ice and snow.
The shark robe, with the restriction lifted, spread out on Jiuzhao's knees, and she tore it open again and put it back on the unconscious Yingluo.
A bolt of lightning struck at this moment, and she leaned forward again to protect Ying Luo.
Finally, I know what kind of pain Yingluo was going through after losing the protection of Yufeng's scales.
Before she could regain consciousness, she screamed in pain.
The terrifying feeling that shook my internal organs not long ago was nothing in comparison.
Jiu Zhao only felt that he was being split in half vertically by the lightning punishment starting from his soul.
The tears were evaporated by the scorching heat, the teeth were no longer under control, and the sound of the teeth colliding up and down lingered in the ears.
It was as if I had lost consciousness forever.
It was as if I had experienced the feeling of death from beginning to end.
In severe pain, Jiu Zhao wished he could faint.
It seemed that if I opened my eyes again, I would be able to wake up from the endless nightmare.
But she knew she had to hold on and couldn't give up just like that.
Yingluo has done so much for her, she owes him so much, she cannot let him die here today.
So, Jiu Zhao tried his best to control his convulsive body and took action——
She didn't allow any time for hesitation or deliberation, and reached her fingers to the back of her neck, quickly and accurately pulling out the emerging natal feather.
"ah--"
Pain upon pain.
Jiu Zhao, who was about to lose his human form, was covered with large patches of bright red phoenix feathers from his forehead to his cheekbones.
Death may become the best gift at this moment.
Her fingertips trembled at a high frequency, and she could hardly put them together to pinch out the magic formula for casting the spell.
After repeated attempts, he was able to barely integrate the natal feather into Yingluo's forehead.
Although the phoenix is born with fire, its natal feathers are the most unique thing on its body.
They have no attributes, but can save lives, so they are given by the phoenixes to their cherished partners and relatives.
With his natal feather protecting Yingluo, at least today, thunder punishment can no longer take his life.
Just to prevent the God of Sin from escaping, the use of various teleportation arrays is prohibited in Wu Ri Yuan, and one must leave the prison and climb Wan Lei Mountain.
Jiu Zhao was half dead and could faint at any time.
She couldn't guarantee that she could remain absolutely sober while taking Yingluo up there.
The situation was critical and she couldn't afford to take the risk, so she finally chose to pluck off a large piece of feathers from its wings.
He activated his magic and made them attach to the bottom of Yingluo's body, turning it into a temporary boat to carry Yingluo. Jiuzhao set Xingyao's retreat in Yunshengshi as the final destination of this journey. Then, he carefully tied the mermaid clothes on Yingluo again.
"Go ahead."
Yingluo, you must stay alive.
…
When the feathered ship flew away, amidst the flashes of lightning and fire, she supported herself on the ground with her hands and stood up silently.
Zhulong, who was acting as a spectator nearby, could not see, but with his divine perception, he "witnessed" the entire process with his own eyes.
It opened its dragon mouth, its fangs sharp as snow.
The tone was still sarcastic, but not as malicious and derogatory as at the beginning.
"Jiu Zhao Shen Ji, do you know that I don't even need to do anything to you in your current state? Even if you try to escape, you'll be struck to death on Wan Lei Mountain."
It tells the truth, with a softened attitude and a hint of regret.
"I know."
His fate was already determined, and Jiu Zhao had no intention of escaping.
She accepted it calmly and responded calmly, "But so what? You insulted my parents, and today I will make you pay."
Zhulong was stunned.
It didn't expect that when death was imminent, this ignorant goddess was still talking big.
Facing the same punishment of thunder, Jiu Zhao was completely defenseless, but having been trapped in the Sunless Abyss for tens of thousands of years, it had long since learned how to survive.
Sanqingtian found the cold iron from the west that could restrain the fire power, and made it into chains, so that the cold breath could corrode it and Wu Shao's soul.
But they forgot that this chain could restrain them and also restrain the power of thunder punishment from the nine heavens.
Zhulong pretended to be weak for ten thousand years and relaxed the guards of the immortals. In fact, he had been studying how to use cold iron to offset the torture of thunder punishment.
Fortunately, God showed favor to this evil dragon.
Fifteen thousand years ago, it finally mastered the method.
The power of thunder punishment was circulated through secret techniques, and most of it was transferred to Han Tie to bear.
This is also the reason why it has survived to this day and accumulated a lot of divine power.
Thinking about today's outcome, which would surely be him living while Jiu Zhao died, he briefly imagined the wonderful expressions on Yan Zhan and Ji Min's faces when they returned and saw the most honorable Crown Prince of Sanqing Heaven lying dead at his feet. Zhu Long's expression became even more presumptuous: "...What can you do to me?"
Jiu Zhao didn't say anything else.
She swung the divine whip down from mid-air, her target no longer being the jaw, but its heart.
That's...stupid.
The boy who came with her had clearly told her before he passed out—
If you can't win, remember to run away.
Since Zhulong was born into this world, he has been alienated and exiled by his mother, and he has no father.
Ten thousand years later, its mother, who did not love it, died together with its nominal father on the battlefield.
It doesn't know what family affection or parental love is.
During the years when I was as humble as a wild dog, only Wu Shao gave me a little warmth.
Later, it followed him without hesitation to rebel against heaven.
Would people go to this extent for the sake of family affection?
Zhulong was puzzled.
Besides, they were just a few harmless insults. How could they hurt Jiuzhao’s Father God and Mother Goddess?
But the more confused it was, the more complicated it felt as it realized Jiu Zhao's determination.
Under the complicated circumstances, it had the power to kill Jiu Zhao with one blow, but it chose to tease her like teasing an insect.
Every time he swung his claws, he would accurately knock her back to the place where the lightning punishment would land when she attacked.
Watching her vomit blood after being struck by lightning, and half of her phoenix wings were burnt, and finally she was no longer in human form.
"cough--"
Jiu Zhao opened his mouth, and the blood that was blocking his breathing rushed out of his mouth.
She knelt down in front of Zhulong, stubbornly refusing to put down the divine whip, and her appearance was extremely miserable.
No.
Not just embarrassed.
It can even be called a bit pitiful.
Tai'e was willing to betray the will of heaven and the entire Phoenix clan in order to save the child she gave birth to with Sichen, but the child was going to die here.
Die in a filthy place without day, night, love, light, or crowds.
Jiu Zhao had no strength left and was crawling on the ground, but his body was still crawling towards it indomitable.
Actually, it’s not a complete waste.
He is still young and very tough, and indeed has some of the pride and strength of the Phoenix Clan.
What a pity.
It's the enemy's child.
Thinking of this, Zhulong raised his claws, intending to give Jiuzhao the final blow.
It did not forget the natal feathers that every phoenix has.
Anyway, one Life Feather can only offset one fatal damage, so it has plenty of time and is not in a hurry.
As it stretched out, the claws on Zhulong's claws suddenly grew and turned into five dagger-like sharp weapons.
As long as you pierce the heart, the fragile flesh and blood will be shattered in less than a breath.
…
However.
Just as he touched Jiuzhao's dress, her cracked body suddenly burst out with a blue-green divine light.
Zhulong was unable to dodge and half of his claw was cut off by the divine light.
“!!”
It growled and covered the bleeding wound with an expression of shock and confusion.
Oh no, how could it be Sichen’s divine power!
This divine power is extremely strong and is not used in the protective techniques that ordinary immortal parents leave on their children.
More like—
It was more like Sichen forcibly took out half of his divine power and injected it into Jiuzhao's body.
Zhulong's heart trembled, and he put away his nonchalant attitude and activated the divine power in his body.
It wanted to take advantage of Jiu Zhao's unconsciousness and inability to use this power well, and quickly kill her on the spot.
The blue-green divine light rose silently and occupied Jiu Zhao's pupils.
In the sea-like light, her burnt phoenix feathers became full and strong again, and half of her dark body was repaired at a high speed.
Fresh emotions were drawn from the depths of his eyes.
Jiu Zhao clenched the divine whip with an expressionless face, and the red and blue forces intertwined together and wrapped around the surface of the whip.
...How could a deity possess two powers of different attributes?
Besides, water and fire are incompatible, so how can they coexist so harmoniously in her body?
Zhulong couldn't get an answer.
All we know is that Jiu Zhao has become a huge threat at this moment.
"roar--"
In a flash, raging dragon flames gathered in its throat and attacked Jiu Zhao's new body.
Jiu Zhao tilted her head, and without even using her hands, a barrier of divine power appeared in front of her eyes.
Stopping the dragon flame that could destroy thousands of troops is like stopping a soft and powerless drizzle.
Snap, snap.
The whip tail hit the ground lightly, making a sound that was neither fast nor slow.
The identities of prey and hunter were instantly reversed.
Jiu Zhao walked towards him step by step, his emotionless blue eyes showing a look of superiority over everything.
She stood in front of Zhulong and raised the divine whip high.
One whip breaks the chaos.
One whip, shattering mountains and rivers,
With one whip, the dragon's scales were pierced.
With one whip, the thick flesh and blood were pulled apart, and bright red splashed inside the cage!
The contrast between the ferocious dragon and the petite goddess is still clear and strong.
Jiu Zhao no longer used dazzling magic. She flew over its head and whipped it roughly again and again, as if admonishing a disobedient pet, until the Zhulong's skin was torn and its bones were visible.
"Cut out the submandibular pearl and give it to me."
She spread out her five fingers and slightly closed them, and the cold iron chain on Zhulong's neck also continued to shrink, strangling it to suffocation.
The dragon's body, which was resisting stubbornly, fell heavily to the ground. Jiu Zhao took advantage of the situation and grabbed a corner of its forehead with one hand and bent it backwards.
"Did you hear that, defeated general?
"Since you lost to me, you should fulfill your promise and offer me your submandibular pearl with both claws."
She exerted a little force on the hand holding the dragon horn, and the most precious and sensitive horn of the dragon clan immediately made an unbearable crackling sound.
Such humiliation is far worse than verbal attacks.
"Don't even think about it, don't even think about it—"
"I won't give it to you even if I die!!"
Zhulong was so angry that he tried desperately to arch his body, but Jiuzhao pushed him down again and again.
"Oh, really?"
Jiu Zhao scratched his chin in feigned distress, and then with a snap, he broke off its dragon horn.
The pain, more intense than the punishment from thunder, took away the last bit of Zhulong's strength. He could not even utter a word and collapsed to the ground with a bang.
“If you don’t give it to me, I won’t be able to complete the purpose of my trip and I will be very unhappy.
"Since you're unhappy, why not kill Wu Shao who's imprisoned next door as well? What do you think?"
Jiu Zhao slid down from Zhulong's head, and just like the play they had performed to each other at the beginning, he reached out and patted its cheek affectionately.
The insults piled up in his throat, just one second away from coming out.
Zhulong swallowed it reluctantly, and then thought with wide eyes about the possibility of Jiuzhao's threat coming true.
Then, it draws conclusions.
Wu Shao might not know the truth about the ability of cold iron to counteract the power of thunder punishment. After being tortured for so many years, it was unclear whether he could withstand the combined power of Jiu Zhao. In addition, Wu Shao and Jiu Zhao each possessed half the power of Phoenix Blood. If the two suddenly came into contact—
It holds a huge secret and will never let this happen.
Being held hostage at his weak spot, unable to live or die, Zhu Long had no choice but to compromise:
"I can offer you the submandibular pearl, but it's not something I can take away easily. It will take time for me to gather my strength and force it out—"
"How do I know if you're lying to me?"
Jiu Zhao obviously didn't believe it.
Zhulong asked loudly, "What's the point of me lying to you? Is it possible that someone will rush into the Sunless Abyss to save me in the near future?!"
“…”
That’s true.
Jiu Zhao pondered for a moment and smiled at it: "Okay, I'll give you this little time -
"But before that, if you want to save Wu Shao's life, you must first sign a blood contract with me."
