With so many injuries on his body, how dare he say he's fine? Anyone with eyes wouldn't believe it after seeing An Honghan's injuries.
The dragon's condition was worse than An Honghan's; most of the heavenly lightning struck it, causing it to be injured much more severely than An Honghan.
Its eyes were closed, and if it weren't for the faint breathing coming from under its nostrils, they would have thought it was already dead.
The dragon was already struggling to survive with just one bolt of lightning, and An Honghan's attack further weakened it.
Xi Zhen leaped onto the dragon's back and saw that the dragon's injuries were healing at a visible speed. He cursed, "Damn it! This thing withstood that purple lightning bolt head-on! The dragon has survived its tribulation!"
Those who survive the tribulation will have all their injuries from the previous period fully healed.
Even the injury to the dragon's eye is gradually healing.
"Master Feng, come here quickly! Let's finish it off before it recovers!" Xi Zhen raised his hand, and a sharp blade appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he plunged it into the dragon's heart.
However, the dragon's skin and flesh were tough, and despite his efforts, he could only pierce through its flesh.
The dragon, in pain, roared angrily and suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes.
"I'll show you! Shameless humans, taking advantage of our vulnerability!" The dragon swung its tail with all its might, and Xi Zhen and Feng Zhenren, who were standing on it, both fell to the ground.
Xi Xizhi hesitated about whether she should go and help when she saw the situation over there, but seeing An Honghan's weak appearance, she couldn't bear to leave.
"Go help them, I can handle it." The dragon head nuzzled affectionately against the girl, An Honghan's golden eyes filled with a hint of doting. "I haven't fulfilled my promise to take responsibility for you yet, how could I bear to abandon you?"
Xi Xizhi blushed, then remembered what she had said that night.
Seeing that An Honghan still had the leisure to flirt, she flew towards her master and the others.
Not long after Xi Xizhi left, another rumble sounded in the sky, and An Honghan's sixth bolt of heavenly lightning arrived.
Upon hearing the voice, Xi Xizhi turned around immediately in fright. Did An Honghan know that his tribulation was about to continue and deliberately send her away?!
I almost forgot, although the dragon survived, An Honghan's heavenly lightning hasn't ended yet! In its current state, how could it possibly...
With her eyes wide open, Xi Xizhi's gaze was filled with complex emotions.
With his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, Xi Xizhi stared at the giant dragon soaring into the sky, refusing to turn back.
When Xi Zhen saw that his apprentice was distracted, he angrily scolded, "Now that you have a husband, have you forgotten your master?! If you don't come back soon, your master will be going to see the King of Hell."
Forced to turn around, Xi Xizhi saw that Xi Zhen and Master Feng were both gripping their blades tightly, tossing and turning on the dragon's body. If the dragon continued to wreak havoc, their old bones would fall apart.
Previously, Xi Xizhi's spiritual power had been almost completely destroyed by the dragon. To be honest, even if she were to fight the dragon to the death now, it wouldn't be of much use. The best way would be to launch a surprise attack when Master Feng and her master were locked in a fierce battle.
Before Xi Xizhi could rush forward, a black light suddenly attacked them, blocking her path.
Xi Xizhi took a closer look, frowned, and recognized the somewhat familiar figure.
The black light gradually transformed into a human figure wearing a silver mask. He lightly stepped onto the back of the dragon with his toes. With a swift movement, he pulled the evil sword from the dragon's body.
The more blood the evil sword drinks, the greater its power.
He raised his hand to wipe the blood off the evil sword and said coldly, "The rest is up to me."
Entrust it to you?! Dream on.
A cunning person who tries to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
Xi Xizhi angrily retorted, "Dongfang Youyu, how can you live with yourself after killing so many innocent people?"
Upon hearing the first name, the man in black brocade robes paused slightly, his gaze turning to Xi Xizhi. "You actually know my identity?"
The next sentence, calmly stated, "There's nothing a person won't do to survive."
No longer concealing his identity, Dongfang Youyu raised his hand and removed the mask covering his face, revealing his all-too-familiar features.
After receiving the other party's acknowledgment, Xi Xizhi couldn't describe how she felt.
Dongfang Youyu walked step by step toward the heart of the dragon...
Upon seeing him, the dragon became agitated. "It was you...it was you who trapped me under the bridge! I'll fight you to the death!"
Having survived his tribulation, the dragon was still recovering from its injuries. It swung its body, intending to slap Dongfang Youyu. However, due to the significant damage it had suffered during the tribulation, its strength had not yet recovered, and the speed of its slap was somewhat slower than before.
Dongfang Youyu, however, dodged it with his agile steps.
Originally, the fight between Jiaolong and Xi Zhen and Feng Zhenren was evenly matched, but now that Dongfang Youyu has joined the fray, the balance of the battle has shifted.
Although Xi Zhen, Feng Zhenren, and Dongfang Youyu are not in cahoots, the Flood Dragon is their common enemy.
Before his strength was restored, the dragon was no match for the three. Seeing himself growing weaker and weaker, he could no longer hold back and roared in fury, "Bastards! Despicable villains! You dare to bully the weak and take advantage of my vulnerability! You have guts, just wait until I recover my strength before you fight me. I will kill you with my own hands!"
His voice grew weaker and weaker as he tried to show off.
As the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passes, seeing Dongfang Youyu closing in step by step, his black sword pointed directly at him, the dragon was no longer as arrogant as before. In despair, it roared at Xi Zhen, "It's him! It was this villain who hung the evil sword under the bridge, hindering my tribulation! Even if you join forces to get rid of me, aren't you afraid of this person's evil intentions?! I'm bad, but he's even worse!"
"Listen to me, let's join forces and take him down first, then the three of us can continue fighting. This way, not only will we avoid someone else reaping the benefits, but it will also be more advantageous for both of us..."
The dragon retreated repeatedly, hastily dodging each time the black sword came hurtling towards him. He knew that if he delayed any longer, he might die before his body had fully recovered.
Xi Zhen and Feng Zhenren were well aware of this principle; the appearance of Dongfang Youyu meant that things had become even more complicated.
Both Xi Zhen and Master Feng were shaken.
The question they faced was whether to deal with Jiaolong first, or Dongfang Youyu.
No matter which one you deal with first, the other one will be more difficult to handle afterward.
