Chapter 362 Half-Demon Fox's Black Moonlight Monk 63
Shen Xinran was just wandering around the foot of the mountain when he suddenly heard a woman yelling for help. The voice sounded more and more familiar. Wasn't it Jin Banxia's voice?
You know, Jin Banxia still owed her a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. If Jin Banxia died, who would she ask for the money? So, Shen Xinran stepped on the cloud-stepping boots and ran towards the place where the sound came from.
The scene before her shocked her heart. She saw a dragon wrapping Jin Banxia around its waist, and the golden protective shield on Jin Banxia's body had been deformed under the pressure of the dragon.
When Jin Banxia saw Shen Xinran, tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string, and she cried out, "Wow, this protective shield won't hold for much longer, please save me!"
Shen Xinran began to struggle internally, because she still had a secret weapon, which was a bomb made by absorbing the energy of Tianleizi.
The power of the bomb is enough to blow the dragon to pieces, but it will inevitably hurt Jin Banxia.
Moreover, she also wanted to peel off the skin of this Ice Soul Dragon completely.
She had seen this dragon in the book Cui Wu gave her. Weapons made from its skin were more resilient, and the sword she wanted to make for Wu Jieying was exactly the one she needed.
Chen Xinran looked around and came up with a plan. She gestured to Jin Banxia to keep quiet, then quickly took out the formation flag and inserted it into the ground around the cold pond.
Each flag fell precisely at the predetermined position, forming a perfect circular encirclement.
She threw a flare into the air. The moment the firework exploded, brilliant light illuminated the sky. The dragon was attracted by the sudden noise and light and took off into the air.
Shen Xinran seized the opportunity, rushed into the cold pond like lightning, and rescued Jin Banxia to the shore.
When the dragon discovered that it had been deceived, it let out a deafening roar and flew towards Shen Xinran with a fierce light flashing in its eyes, as if it wanted to tear Shen Xinran apart.
Shen Xinran clasped her hands together and began to chant an incantation. As the incantation progressed, the runes on the formation flag gradually lit up, resonating with her spiritual power.
The power of the formation began to manifest, forming a huge spiritual barrier that trapped the dragon in the center of the cold pond.
The dragon wanted to resist, and it used its powerful body to hit the formation. Every impact caused ripples to appear on the formation barrier.
Shen Xinran gritted his teeth and continuously channeled the spiritual power in his body into the formation.
Now it was a competition of endurance between her and the dragon, to see whether the dragon would break free first or she would kill it first.
Beads of sweat covered her forehead, but her eyes were firm and she showed no sign of retreat.
Hu Changfeng also saw the fireworks in the sky. He frowned and without putting down the roasted rabbit, he rushed to the edge of the cold pond and stood behind Shen Xinran.
With Shen Xinran's persistence, the light of the formation became brighter and brighter, and the dragon's struggle gradually weakened.
The dragon's eyes were fierce, and he wanted to detonate his inner elixir and die with everyone present.
But at this moment, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its consciousness, and the dragon lost its breath with a deafening roar.
Shen Xinran was surprised and delighted. She actually defeated a dragon!
She quickly stepped forward and put the dragon's body, skin and flesh included, into her storage ring.
When she turned around, she noticed Hu Changfeng's presence. "Why are you here?"
Hu Changfeng smiled and replied, "I saw the signal flare you sent out, so I came over to take a look."
Jin Banxia was still in shock and sat limply on the ground. Her breathing was rapid, and she was obviously frightened by the danger she had just experienced.
Shen Xinran patted her shoulder gently and asked with concern, "Why are you here alone? Where are your brothers?"
Jin Banxia's voice trembled with anger, "The female cultivator who bid against me earlier deceived my senior brother. She wanted to steal my Dragon Abyss Sword."
Shen Xinran frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Is the Longyuan Sword still with you?"
Jin Banxia tried to calm herself down. She wiped the tears from her eyes, a hint of pride on her face. "I'm so smart, how could I let her succeed? I tricked her into throwing the ring containing the sword into the cold pond. Actually, the sword was in another ring."
Shen Xinran was silent for a moment, "And then, in a fit of rage, she pushed you into the cold pond?"
Jin Banxia's smile froze, she lowered her head and stopped talking. But too many things had happened today, causing her stomach to growl.
Her eyes involuntarily fell on Hu Changfeng, or more precisely, on the roasted rabbit in his hand.
Shen Xinran noticed this scene, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Would you like some roast rabbit?"
Jin Banxia said cautiously, "It should be fine if you eat a little."
Chen Xinran looked at Jin Banxia's tear-stained face and found it a little funny. "It's okay, eat!"
Xie Yan led the disciples of Lingxiao Sect through the forest for half an hour, but did not even find the shadow of a Swift Wind Wolf.
Feeling uneasy, he realized something might have gone wrong and immediately ordered a U-turn.
As they were hurrying back, Xie Yan caught a glimpse of Lin Man running towards them from a small path in a panic.
He took a few quick steps forward, unsheathed his long sword, pointed it at Lin Man, and asked coldly, "Where is my junior sister?"
Lin Man's smile froze, and her voice trembled: "She ran over there alone, and I couldn't stop her."
Xie Yan's eyes were like knives, and his voice was even colder: "She promised to wait for me here, so she would never leave without permission. What did you do to her?"
Lin Man knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she just tore off the truth. She sneered, "She should have been eaten by the dragon by now. If you rush over now, you might be able to collect her body."
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect were filled with righteous indignation and rage. "We were kind enough to save your senior brother, but you harmed our junior sister. You are truly a heartless person!"
Xie Yan, however, was unusually calm, his voice filled with unquestionable determination: "Take us to the Cold Pond, or don't blame me for being rude."
Under the pressure of Xie Yan's sword, Lin Man had to lead them back to the cold pond.
But there was silence around the cold pond, no signs of fighting, and even the dragon was nowhere to be seen.
After observing the surroundings, Zhong Xiaolong said in a trembling voice, "There are absolutely no signs of a fight. This means there's only one possibility: Junior Sister was eaten by a dragon, and the dragon left."
Xie Yan's eyes were red and a wave of grief surged in his heart.
He recalled that when he first joined Lingxiao Sect, he was often bullied because of his young age and was asked to do odd jobs by his senior brothers and sisters.
It was Jin Banxia who stepped forward and protected him. At that time, Jin Banxia had just lost her parents, but she still stood strong in front of him.
Thinking of this, Xie Yan could no longer suppress the rage in his heart. He directly picked up the sword and stabbed Lin Man.
Lin Man was so frightened that she quickly retreated and shouted, "I am the granddaughter of the First Peak Elder of the Tianjian Sect. If you kill me, my grandfather will not let you go."
Xie Yan's expression was indifferent, without a trace of hesitation in his eyes: "So what?"
After he finished speaking, he struck the man's throat with a sword, his movements clean and neat.
Lin Man didn't even have time to take out the jade pendant to escape. She fell to the edge of the cold pond with her eyes wide open, her eyes full of unwillingness.
