The Nine Heavens Serpent relentlessly pursued them, unleashing another blade of light from its mouth.
Helpless, Yin Ming waved his hand, and his resentment transformed into a barrier to block the attack of the Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent.
It wasn't that he wanted to meddle, but this guy was just an innocent bystander in the mess. If Yin Ming didn't intervene, he and Yao Ling would have been beaten up too.
Suddenly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, startling both the white dragon and the Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent. The Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent, in particular, looked like it was about to cause trouble after its plans were ruined, and charged towards Yin Ming's direction.
Seeing this unexpected disaster, Yin Ming could only helplessly whisper in Yao Ling's ear, "It's a bit dangerous here. Let go of her hand and go be with Ling Yao, okay?"
Yao Ling finally reacted when she heard the name Ling Yao. She hesitated for a moment, looked up at Yin Ming, and then let go and ran to Ling Yao's side.
The human-shaped ornament hanging on his body was finally gone, and Yin Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he instructed, "A Yao, you protect them. I'll take care of things here."
Upon hearing this, Lingyao, who was originally about to step forward to help, obediently shielded Yaoling and her brother behind him.
Judging from the current situation, Yin Ming couldn't tell which side was good and which side was bad. Since he didn't know which side to help, he simply decided to keep both of them in line.
Yin Ming raised his hand, and the Crimson Flame Sword appeared in his hand.
The dark red sword blade faintly rippled with light, and red light flashed wildly on it. That was a fancy trick specially created by the villain in the original work. It was all show and no substance, purely for showing off. It was very flashy.
Therefore, Yin Ming almost never uses this sword; he feels ashamed of it.
The white dragon was already injured and lay paralyzed on the shore, unable to move. The most urgent task was to deal with the Nine Heavens Serpent in the sky.
For cultivators to fly, reaching the eighth realm is a necessary condition; there are no special circumstances.
Monsters are different. Some monsters are born with the ability to fly, like the two in front of us, while those that cannot fly can unlock the skill of flying after reaching the eighth realm.
Fortunately, cultivators at the seventh level can stay in the air for a short time; otherwise, Yin Ming would have been truly helpless against this Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent.
Yin Ming touched the ground with his toes and leaped up to be level with the Nine Heavens Black Serpent.
Sensing that the aura emanating from the person in front of it was stronger than its own, the Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent immediately and without hesitation condensed a huge ball of resentment in its mouth and spat it out, intending to interfere with Yin Ming and then escape.
Seeing through its intentions, Yin Ming smiled and said, "Do you think I'd let you get away?"
Yin Ming flipped his palm, and a bead appeared in his palm. As soon as the light from the bead shone on the Crimson Flame Sword, the resentment on the sword immediately surged.
Yin Ming swung his sword, cleaving through the oncoming swarm of resentment energy. Using the impact of the collision between the two energies, he flipped backward and landed steadily on the head of the Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent.
"You were trying to kill me just now, weren't you?" Yin Ming raised the Crimson Flame Sword, making a move to pierce the head of the Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent and end its life.
"Great hero, spare my life!" A deep voice rang out, seemingly originating from the large head beneath Yin Ming's feet.
Hmm, it seems that the original work does indeed have the setting that seventh-realm magical beasts can talk.
"What?" Yin Ming wanted to hear what it had to say.
"Great hero, I was blind and offended you. We have no grudge against each other. Can you please forgive my mistake and spare my life?" The Nine Heavens Serpent's voice was as humble as could be, a far cry from its arrogant and domineering demeanor just moments before.
Yin Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter inwardly. The legendary divine beast was actually begging for mercy from him! He had never seen anything like it before.
But if an apology were effective, what would be the point of his fists, which are as big as sandbags? Now that he's an adult snake, he has to pay the price for his actions.
Yin Ming showed no mercy, saying, "If my cultivation were not as strong as yours, I would probably have already become your dead body. I have no grudge against you, but you didn't seem to intend to let me go just now."
The Nine Heavens Serpent was silent for a moment, then suddenly began to struggle violently, trying to take advantage of Yin Ming's unpreparedness to throw him off its head.
Yin Ming raised an eyebrow slightly. Tch, you still want to resist?
Yin Ming immediately lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew to a height of two meters above the head of the Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent.
Unexpectedly, after Yin Ming mobilized the resentment within his body, golden light suddenly began to flow faintly on his red robes, and the robes fluttered in the wind, creating an exceptionally beautiful sight.
With Yin Ming's figure, anyone who saw him would sigh and say, "What a handsome man, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse!"
Yin Ming was stunned by this sudden change. He hadn't expected the villain to be so ruthless as to tamper with even clothes.
Even a fight has to trigger special effects. Are you trying to blind the enemy with these dazzling lights and achieve victory without a fight? You're truly a villain from the original work.
However, now is not the time to care about this thing. Yin Ming forcibly ignored the special effects of his clothes and took out another magic weapon.
I have to say, it's really satisfying to have these amazing gadgets coming one after another. I suddenly feel like I've got the male lead's script, hehe.
Actually, these were all magical artifacts that the male lead had given him before. After taking a few artifacts that he found useful, Yin Ming returned the rest to the male lead.
Yin Ming also divided the elixirs and rare treasures into two portions, half for himself and half for the male protagonist.
He's happy if he gets even a little bit, so he's not so greedy and tries to keep it all for himself.
Yin Ming tossed his magic weapon into the air, binding the Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent, which was preparing a powerful attack, rendering it unable to move.
Yes, that's right. This magical artifact appears frequently in various fantasy novels—clang clang clang~ the Immortal-Binding Rope~
Yin Ming sheathed the Crimson Flame Sword, grabbed the other end of the Immortal Binding Rope, and led the tightly bound Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent to land on the beach.
Casually tossing the Nine Heavens Mystic Serpent onto the shore, Yin Ming approached the white dragon step by step.
Just as they were about to tie up the white dragon as well, the white dragon spoke first.
"Thank you for saving my life, my benefactor. This Nine Heavens Serpent has always been my enemy, and today, taking advantage of my being alone, it even tried to kill me to silence me..."
As the white dragon spoke, it even started to sob, probably believing that Yin Ming had come to help it, and had already regarded Yin Ming as its savior.
Yin Ming: ...Wouldn't this be a huge misunderstanding?
How embarrassing! If it knew Yin Ming's original plan, would it have simply carved out a three-bedroom apartment on the spot?
However, judging from the dragon's aggrieved expression, it seems it really wasn't lying.
Wait a minute, isn't this guy only at the sixth realm? How can he talk?
Something unusual must be going on; perhaps he inadvertently saved a big shot.
Yin Ming lowered his head in thought. In the original work, which important figure was originally a dragon?
Oh, could it be...?
"What's your name?" Yin Ming planned to ask the other person's name directly to confirm their identity.
"My benefactor, my name is Long Cheng." The white dragon didn't know why Yin Ming suddenly asked such an unrelated question, but it still answered honestly.
Oh wow, he really is the second male lead from the original work... Well, Yin Ming doesn't know if he counts as the second male lead, but he appears a lot of times anyway.
Because he is the mutated magical beast that the male protagonist subdued after his rebirth, he will follow the male protagonist to fight monsters everywhere in the later stages. The two of them depend on each other for survival and travel the world side by side, which once led readers to suspect that the two of them had a bromance.
Can Warcraft be considered the second male lead? It would be more accurate to say he's the male lead's magical pet.
However, he would transform into human form whenever he was with the male protagonist...
Hmm, never mind, let's not dwell on this.
