The scene instantly descended into chaos, with people fleeing in all directions, their terrified screams mingling and shattering the previously tranquil space.
That dragon was enormous and ferocious; every swing of its body seemed to carry the power to shake the earth, something that these people could not possibly contend with.
Seeing no hope of escape, some of them were filled with a desperate resolve. Their eyes reddened, their teeth gritted, and they launched a desperate attack on the dragon, hoping to drive it away.
However, reality is cruelly suffocating.
The massive dragon's body was like an indestructible mountain. Facing the overwhelming attacks, it merely flicked its tail dismissively. Sword energy struck its hard scales, sparking a few sparks, but failing to leave even a shallow scratch; scorching spells landed on it, only causing its scales to shimmer faintly. It didn't even utter a low growl, as if these vigorous attacks were nothing more than mosquito bites, insignificant and unworthy of mention.
At this moment, the anger in everyone's hearts surged like a tidal wave, all directed at Wang Qiuchi. That fool! If it weren't for his stubbornness, everyone would have already safely evacuated.
Their eyes were filled with resentment, as if they wanted to devour Wang Qiuchi alive.
Wang Qiuchi was filled with remorse. Looking at the dragon that he couldn't shake off, fear overwhelmed him like a tidal wave. He fled desperately, his heart pounding in his chest as if it would burst. Seeing the dragon growing faster and faster, and the shadow of death drawing ever closer, he frantically rummaged in his robes, finally pulling out a talisman and trembling as he pressed it to his body.
In an instant, Wang Qiuchi felt a powerful force surge into his body, and his speed suddenly increased several times.
This talisman was a gift from his master, and in this life-or-death moment, it became his only lifeline. Even so, he was only a fraction faster than the relentlessly pursuing dragon behind him. Every time he looked back, the fangs gleaming in the dragon's gaping maw were clearly visible, sending chills down his spine.
Wang Qiuchi was filled with remorse, his heart pounding with regret. He never imagined that Bai Ying's words were entirely true; the terror of this dragon far exceeded his expectations. At this moment, the fear in his heart had reached its peak, each breath trembling with despair, hoping only for a miracle to occur so he could escape this desperate situation.
However, at that moment, he saw a group of five people rushing towards him.
And right in the center of these people was Bai Di, whom Wang Qiuchi admired immensely!
Wang Qiuchi's eyes widened instantly when he looked at her.
Before coming here, he had longed for geniuses and made a special trip to Qingyan Town just to catch a glimpse of Bai Di from afar.
Every time he heard about Bai Di's legendary deeds, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. His admiration for her was like a surging river, endless and boundless.
Having ventured into this perilous land, Wang Qiuchi secretly hoped to encounter Bai Di, to catch a glimpse of her beauty from afar. She never imagined she would meet her in this life-or-death situation!
At the same time, Bai Di arrived swiftly with several people beside her, like a silver lightning bolt. With her sharp eyes, she immediately spotted Wang Qiuchi, who was disheveled and covered in injuries.
Bai Di flew to his side, raised his hand to steadily support the swaying Wang Qiuchi, his expression concerned yet tinged with coldness: "What exactly happened here? Why are so many dragons gathered here?"
Bai Di had already noticed that something was wrong here. Flood dragons are mostly solitary creatures, and it was rare to see them gathered together like this.
Wang Qiuchi, still shaken, was about to tell Bai Di about the impending crisis when, before he could utter a sound, a man in fine clothes beside Bai Di preemptively flattered him, saying, "In my opinion, this place must hold some priceless treasure, which is why these dragons have gathered here. However, how powerful can these dragons be? With your extraordinary strength, Fairy Bai, you could easily cut them in two with a mere flick of your sword. And the treasures guarded by those dragons would naturally be yours to keep."
“That’s right, that’s right,” another shrill voice immediately chimed in, “These lowly creatures are nothing but ants in front of Fairy Bai. Look at those people over there, fighting so miserably with this dragon, it’s truly pathetic. Compared to Fairy Bai, they are worlds apart, not even one ten-thousandth as good.” This person shook his head and sighed, while repeatedly bowing to Bai Di, his fawning expression overflowing.
Upon hearing this, Bai Di's lips curled up slightly, revealing a pleased smile, his eyes full of self-satisfaction.
Clearly, she was extremely pleased with these compliments.
After obtaining Bai Ying's spiritual root and absorbing the Grand Elder's power, she soared from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Nascent Soul stage in just one year, becoming the most legendary figure in the entire Lingchuan Continent.
Before this, despite her extraordinary efforts, she could only cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage, finding it difficult to distinguish herself. But now, everything has changed. No one can ignore her presence anymore, and even geniuses and prodigies pale in comparison.
She truly experienced what it felt like to be the center of attention, surrounded by praise and adulation. Those sects that were once high and mighty and unattainable now lowered their stances, extending olive branches and doing everything they could to win her over.
This earth-shattering change filled Bai Di with immense joy.
She knew that as long as she obtained Bai Ying's spiritual root, she would definitely be able to surpass her, and wasn't that exactly the case?
At this moment, listening to the flattery of those around her, Bai Di's pride and confidence reached their peak. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and without hesitation, she drew her sword from her waist. She raised the sword high and said, "It's nothing but a lowly dragon. Watch how I subdue it today. This kind of beast is as easy as turning my hand! After killing this one, I'll go over there and kill those dozen or so dragons together!"
The people around Bai Di cheered.
However, upon hearing their conversation, Wang Qiuchi felt a surge of fear. He suddenly cried out in terror, abruptly interrupting them: "This...this dragon isn't a jiaolong at all, it's a chilong! This dragon is incredibly ferocious and powerful, far surpassing any ordinary jiaolong. We'd better run away quickly..." Wang Qiuchi spoke incoherently while frantically gesturing with his hands, trying to make Bai Di and the others realize the danger they were facing.
But before he could finish speaking, Bai Di looked at him as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world, finding it utterly ridiculous.
"A Chi Dragon? What is that? I've never even heard of it. But even if it is, so what?"
Bai Di clearly looked down on this so-called Chilong, "Do you think I'm not strong enough to kill it?"
"Yes!" the people around Bai Di chimed in. "You don't actually think Fairy Bai is a Golden Core cultivator like you, do you? Fairy Bai is a Nascent Soul cultivator. Killing this so-called Chi Dragon would be a piece of cake for her, wouldn't it?"
