Chapter 263
The dragon rushed to Ying Ning without hesitation, coiled its body to completely protect her, and took the blow for her!
The smell of burning and blood permeated Bai Xie's back. He tried to suppress the metallic taste in his throat, but Hei Lei didn't give him a chance to catch his breath.
Another bolt of black lightning struck!
Bai Xie coughed up a mouthful of blood, the gurgling sound in his throat making his eyes redden, and a tearing pain shot through his head as memories surged back like a tidal wave. His voice was indistinct:
“Meng…”
It was unclear for a moment whether he wanted to call Yingning's name.
Seeing that his two attacks had failed, Hei Lei became enraged.
It instantly devoured the surrounding purple lightning, and in just a few breaths, its massive body surged with terrifying energy, seemingly about to destroy this world!
Despite the pain, Bai Xie struggled to get up again.
But in the next instant, the black lightning mercilessly pierced through his body, the lightning melted his dragon scales inch by inch, and the flesh at the wound was scorched by the lightning fire.
"Gulp." A large amount of blood gushed from Bai Xie's mouth.
He stared blankly down and saw the wound on his chest. When Bai Xie slowly looked up at Ying Ning again, there was a somewhat dark and unfathomable look in his large eyes.
The black lightning had long since devoured all the lightning in the imperial tomb. It attacked Ying Ning again in a twisted serpentine shape, but she leaped up and slashed off its tail with her sword.
She didn't seem afraid of her own lightning strikes, and the sword in her palm transformed into a long whip.
“I will not let any prey that has stepped into the cage escape,” Ying Ning said lightly, meeting the black lightning.
Wuwei also heard her words, his eyes slightly closed, gently twirling a half-strand of worn-out Buddhist beads.
Black Lightning's attacks were extremely fierce. Although Ying Ning managed to dodge them each time, she still had several wounds on her body in a short while.
Tick-tock.
A drop of blood fell, splashing up crimson flowers.
The black lightning was now completely enraged. It broke free from Ying Ning's restraints and tore her snake whip to pieces. Then, the python opened its foul-smelling maw and swallowed all the spiritual energy surrounding the Pure World Lotus!
The Pure Lotus released more spiritual energy, causing the giant black lightning python's body to grow at an eerie speed. Eventually, two protrusions appeared on the python's head.
It appears as if horns are about to grow out, resembling a dragon.
The Thunder Dragon's body was far larger than the altar. It coiled up and exhaled, and then a storm that shook the heavens and the earth rushed in, completely engulfing people.
Yingning summoned a magic array, and a vast sea of crimson flowers blocked the storm.
The Heavenly Thunder Flood Dragon roared and flew up, then flipped over in mid-air to attack Ying Ning once more. From its foul-smelling, blood-red maw, a thunder pearl containing terrifying power emerged.
The thunder pearl was jet black, seemingly possessing overwhelming power.
Ying Ning moved slightly, but did not leave the formation. It seemed that she intended to take the power that could completely destroy the entire capital of the Min Dynasty!
Only then did Wuwei see that a blurry image of a Dharma appeared in the array beneath Ying Ning's feet. The image seemed to be a phoenix soaring through the heavens, unrestrained and flamboyant, with ancient karmic fire emanating from the myriad abysses as it spread its wings.
Scorching hot, inextinguishable.
It was just a wisp of flame, yet it still made people feel the immense divine power that could change the world.
The monk was stunned, and for a moment he did not realize when Ying Ning had started to summon the Yuan Feng image. Was it when the Heavenly Thunder Dragon was devouring spiritual energy?
wrong.
It was even earlier.
Wuwei's gaze shifted to the unconscious Chilong on the ground before turning back to Yingning.
His fingertips stopped.
It turned out that it was when the little dragon was protecting her.
The monk actually laughed out loud.
It seems we are truly following the will of Heaven.
Although Wuwei had some desire for the Pure Lotus, he was mostly just curious.
Just like his curiosity about every blade of grass and every tree in this world for thousands of years.
He was curious about what it felt like to defect from the immortal sect, and whether there would be others like him in the future.
I'm curious whether Xi Yunliu is willing to give up half a demon pill in exchange for a fleeting encounter.
They might also wonder what a dying person would ask of them.
For thousands of years, Wuwei has been obsessed with the myriad destinies, and he would even enter the game alone to see his own fate. But unfortunately, too many destinies are just as uninteresting as those predetermined by the will of Heaven.
The seeds he sowed back then have yet to bear fruit.
...
The monk smiled faintly, his narrow eyes concealing his secret.
