Xi Xizhi was focused on observing the golden dragon undergoing its tribulation when suddenly, a series of booming sounds rang out from the sky.
A bright, deep purple bolt of lightning appeared in the sky and struck down towards the dragon.
Xi Xizhi snapped out of her reverie, remembering that the dragon was also undergoing tribulation, and asked, "Which tribulation are you in?"
“The ninth path…” Master Feng’s voice was somewhat heavy.
Because as long as the dragon survives this heavenly tribulation, its strength will greatly increase. If An Honghan fails to survive the heavenly tribulation, none of them will be a match for the dragon.
"What can we do then?!" Are we just supposed to watch the dragon successfully complete its tribulation? Or can they try to sabotage it?
Even if this was Dongfang Youyu's conspiracy, they had no choice!
The only way is to subdue the dragon first, and then deal with Dongfang Youyu. As long as the dragon's inner core does not fall into Dongfang Youyu's hands, he will not be able to completely transform into a demon. Even if Xi Xizhi and the others do not cause him trouble, the heavens will take his life one day.
"Hahaha... Just wait and see how I will flood Fengzhou!" The dragon's triumphant laughter echoed across the sky.
Despite the thunder and noise, the sound reached their ears clearly.
A sense of desolation crept into their hearts.
They wanted to stop it, but were powerless to do so.
The dragon rolled its body a few times and headed straight for the ninth bolt of heavenly lightning.
A sudden change occurred at this moment; the golden dragon, which was originally on the other side, suddenly rushed to the side of the flood dragon at high speed.
The black and gold objects collided head-on, the sound of the impact was incredibly heavy, and several huge waves hundreds of feet high were immediately churned up on the water. The white water splashed everywhere, and the huge commotion almost caused Xi Xizhi and the others to fall into the water.
The water was turbulent, and there was nowhere to put one's feet for the time being.
Xi Xizhi finally managed to steady herself when she heard her master next to her swear.
"Damn it! Has An Honghan gone mad?! Does he even know what he's doing?!"
The dragon was terrified by the other party's reckless actions. It knew that once the Heavenly Tribulation descended, anyone who interfered would have to face it alongside the one undergoing the tribulation. An Honghan wasn't a brother it had risked its life for; for him to choose to undergo the tribulation with it, there must be some ulterior motive!
Before the dragon could figure out the reason, another series of rumbling sounds came from the sky, which were deafening.
At this moment, everyone understood what An Honghan was planning!
Since he couldn't stop the dragon from undergoing its tribulation, then... what if two bolts of heavenly lightning descended at the same time? Their power would be doubled.
He's gambling with his life!
Let's bet on who can withstand these two bolts of lightning!
Knowing An Honghan's thoughts, Xi Xizhi became anxious, her eyes turning red. She emerged from the water, paddling with both hands as she floated on the surface, her eyes fixed on the horizon.
The thunder rumbled incessantly.
Just as everyone looked up at the sky, two bolts of lightning overlapped and fell simultaneously, striking the dragon and the golden dragon.
The purple lightning, as thick as the mouth of a well, surged forth with the force of a thousand horses.
As the purple lightning struck the dragon, the howls of wild beasts reached their ears.
Even with the strongest scales of the dragon and the golden dragon, they were instantly struck by the power of the two thunderbolts and plunged into the water, churning violently.
Xi Xizhi's gaze instantly followed the golden dragon, only to see the golden light writhing in agony as it fell into the water.
Xi Xizhi's heart was in her throat.
With a hoarse voice, he called out, "An... An Honghan..."
She tried to swim over there despite the danger, but halfway there, Xi Zhen saw through her intention and stopped her.
The dragon's injuries were more severe than An Honghan's. An Honghan's golden scales were still relatively intact, but the dragon's skin was torn and its flesh was ripped open. It was floating on the surface of the water, barely alive. Apart from its tail twitching a few times, it was no different from being dead.
"I'm so angry... I'm so angry..." A faint sound came from the dragon's mouth.
These two thunderbolts lasted longer than the previous ones, relentlessly striking the dragon and the golden dragon, causing the dragon to struggle desperately, thrashing about as giant waves surged one after another.
The screams were terrifying.
A fierce wind and torrential rain raged, causing the entire water surface to churn and tremble.
Although the purple lightning only lasted for a dozen seconds, it felt like an eternity for Xi Xizhi. Several times she tried to swim over, but Xi Zhen grabbed her arm each time.
"Stop causing trouble! With the power of those two heavenly lightning bolts, any one of us who goes there will be instantly reduced to ashes!" Xi Zhen roared angrily at Xi Xizhi.
This allowed Xi Xizhi's anxious heart to gradually calm down.
yes!
She can't cause any trouble for An Honghan right now!
“But An Honghan…” Seeing him suffer so much, Xi Xi’s heart ached as if it were being torn apart.
It turns out that, without realizing it, she had already come to value An Honghan so much.
"If he can get through this, we can only trust him." Xi Zhen reassured his apprentice, though he himself was not entirely sure.
Seeing his disciple's distraught appearance, Xi Zhen even thought that if An Honghan were to die by accident, his disciple would probably be doomed as well.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, the world was dark and gloomy, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Time seemed to drag on endlessly, every minute and every second an ordeal.
The dragons that could have been tumbling around were now all lying motionless on the surface of the water.
The roaring waves gradually subsided, and everything became quiet.
After calling An Honghan several times without receiving a response, Xi Xizhi could no longer bear it. She shook off her master's hand and rushed towards Jinlong.
"An Honghan..." As she approached the dragon's head, Xi Xizhi lunged forward, trying to hug it. Unfortunately, the golden dragon's body was too enormous, causing Xi Xizhi's attempt to 'hug' to look more like a clinging motion.
Jinlong's body was almost entirely covered in burns, a large, dark patch that was heartbreaking to see.
Xi Xizhi's tears flowed uncontrollably, dripping down her face. One of the drops landed precisely on the scales of the golden dragon.
The golden dragon, which had been keeping its eyes closed, slowly opened them at this moment. Its golden pupils spun twice before finally settling on Xi Xizhi.
"I'm fine." He spoke very softly, so softly that if Xi Xizhi hadn't been so close, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear him.
"Who are you trying to fool?" Xi Xizhi cried and retorted.
