Seeing the other party rushing towards him excitedly, Zuan was speechless, thinking to himself, "Aren't the dragons far too weak? Not only did mentioning their name fail to scare them, it only made them more excited..."
This made him somewhat doubt the status of dragons in the eyes of others in this world.
But he didn't have time to think about that now. Seeing the other party rushing over, he hurriedly pushed Qiu Honglei aside and then dodged in another direction.
Mosquito Taoist had seen his strange movements before, so she was not surprised that he could dodge her attacks. She had held back three-tenths of her strength when she attacked, and seeing this, she continued to grab at him without waiting for her move to be fully used.
Zuan used the "Sunflower Illusion" movement technique several times in a row. Although he was able to dodge the opponent's attack briefly, he could not shake him off. The opponent was like a leech, always staying within three feet of him.
Several times he was almost caught by her sharp, long fingers, and Zu'an broke out in a cold sweat.
However, his opponent's cultivation level was far superior to his, and after so many years in the underworld, his combat experience and insight were outstanding. A series of planned attacks forced him to have less and less room to maneuver and dodge.
"Gotcha!" Mosquito Taoist chuckled coquettishly, and suddenly a hand grabbed his shoulder.
This was precisely the moment when the old forces of Zaun had aged and the new forces had not yet emerged, making it impossible for them to dodge the grab.
Just as he was secretly cursing his luck, a long sword was swung out from the side, blocking her determined attack.
"You vixen, you're dead!" Mosquito Taoist glared at Qiu Honglei in front of her, yelling angrily. She had finally found an opportunity to push Zu An into a corner, but it was ruined by the other party.
You should know that even she found Zuan's strange movement techniques quite troublesome. With this experience, it will be difficult for him to catch her again.
Thinking of this, she became even more furious, and every move she made was deadly.
If she had held back some strength when she captured Zu'an, since she still wanted to get the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" from him, she now had no scruples about Qiu Honglei.
All she needed to do was snatch the Changxin Palace Lantern from the other party; whether she lived or died was unimportant, especially since she had always disliked women who were more beautiful than her.
Seeing Qiu Honglei's stunningly beautiful face, and the pity and adoration in the eyes of those men looking at her, Mosquito Taoist felt a surge of evil fire. She not only wanted to kill her, but also to peel off her face and see how she would seduce men.
Faced with her relentless attack, Qiu Honglei felt a strong sense of alarm and hurriedly swung her sword to defend herself, bringing her swordsmanship to its fullest potential.
Unfortunately, the gap between the two sides was too great. The opponent inserted his hand directly into her sword net, twisted it casually, and broke her longsword. Then, he turned his palm into a claw and went straight for her face.
She planned to rip that foxy face off her head.
Because her longsword had just been broken, the powerful force from the blade had thrown her internal energy into chaos, leaving her with no strength to resist.
Looking at the cold light emanating from the other person's long fingernails, her mind went blank, and in that instant, she seemed to feel the breath of death.
Just then, a figure stepped in front of her and hugged her, using his back to take the brunt of the other person's vicious claw attack.
Pfft!
Even though Zu An's body had been tempered twice by the "Primordial Chaos Scripture," it was still as fragile as paper in front of Mosquito Daoist's sharp fingernails, which pierced through him, leaving five bloody holes.
Mosquito Taoist was taken aback at first, then flew into a rage: "You brat, you'd risk your life for her?"
As a woman, she had never encountered a man who treated her like this before, so seeing other women having such good fortune filled her with extreme anger.
The Mosquito Taoist's anger level has increased by 1024!
Zu An wasn't so desperate as to risk his life for a woman, but he had just noticed that the killing intent of the other party was much weaker when attacking him than when attacking Qiu Honglei. He immediately realized that the other party was probably after the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" and therefore wouldn't kill him for the time being.
Because he saw through this, and because his body was also very resilient, he chose to step forward to help Qiu Honglei block this fatal blow.
However, since the other party was playing the straight man so well, he would have wasted his usual cleverness if he didn't seize the opportunity. He immediately looked at Qiu Honglei with deep affection and said, "Of course, what's the point of my life if she dies?"
"Aunt!" Qiu Honglei burst into tears. Over the years, whether in the Holy Sect or the Immortal Abode, she had become accustomed to men's sweet words and had never taken them seriously.
But seeing Zuan risk his life to save her, and then say those words with blood on his lips, she felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, and she was moved to tears.
Seeing the other person's reaction, Zu An was also startled, thinking, "Could it be that serious? This woman used to be alluring and flirtatious, and the two of us would joke and banter with each other."
Mosquito Taoist, who was standing to the side, was quite annoyed by being shown dog food in front of him. He withdrew his hand and was about to kill Qiu Honglei to vent his anger.
At this moment, the other major individual players also realized what was happening and rushed over.
Mosquito Taoist was getting annoyed by them. He instinctively opened his mouth to try and repel them with sound waves, but before he could finish the buzzing sound, he was greeted with "What are you looking at?"
"What are you looking at!" Mosquito Taoist finally understood the pain of the old dragon before. What she couldn't stand was that the other party didn't stop her from using her ultimate move in advance, but stopped her every time she just released her ultimate move.
As a result, she had to immediately switch to her ultimate move to answer that question. The ultimate move was forced back halfway through, and the powerful sonic backlash often made her head buzz. If it weren't for her strong cultivation, she would probably have been seriously injured and coughed up blood.
