Yuheng dodged quickly, only slightly shaken. Then, sensing a familiar aura, he flew directly towards the location of the bottle in anger.
The sect leader, bewildered, asked, "Yuheng, what are you doing?"
"That aura is so evil, it's a red dragon! Sect Master, if we don't deal with it, it will attack Wanwan!" Yuheng didn't have time to explain and quickly went up to entangle with the red figure.
The sect leader was almost thrown away by his sudden big move. He hurriedly grabbed his dragon horn and dodged while throwing a few sword moves at Zhang Jinchi.
Looking closer, the broken bottle emitted a thick plume of red smoke, its aura truly malevolent.
"Sect Master, that red dragon is a traitor to our dragon clan, a monster that specializes in kidnapping and eating baby dragons," Yuheng cried out with a worried expression.
The sect leader then realized the seriousness of the problem: "It's him! Wasn't he captured and sealed away? How did he end up in this person's hands?"
"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, did you? He begged me to let him out!" Zhang Jinchi laughed wildly, his handsome, square face looking even more sinister.
Yuheng cried out in alarm, "Sect Master, be careful!"
The red smoke instantly transformed into countless sharp blades that flew rapidly towards the two of them, and the shape of a dragon could be vaguely seen.
The sect leader hurriedly used his sword to resist, but his sword-wielding hand was also numb from the shock.
As expected of the Dragon Clan, the most powerful divine beast, this attack was so powerful that even the sect master at the peak of the Mahayana stage was unable to withstand it, and his sword strikes failed to even scratch the opponent.
"You think you have the help of the dragon race? I have mine too, and I'm a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, fearless, and a red dragon that eats dragon cubs. Hahaha, let's see what you can do now!" Zhang Jinchi changed his disadvantageous stance and released his red dragon to create an opportunity for himself.
After saying that, he turned around and attacked Wei Wenru.
Here's one more point:
Red dragons are an anomaly among dragons, not only because they are gluttonous, but also because they specifically eat spirit beasts, divine beasts, and even their own kind.
Although they are a minority, red dragons have a very bad reputation among the dragon race, especially the blue dragons, who particularly dislike them.
Besides these, they also have many questionable hobbies, such as promiscuity, homosexuality, love, and gambling. Their behavior is completely opposite to that of a sacred beast, a prime example of a fallen dragon.
With a roar, the red dragon transformed into human form. It was handsome and harmless, but it turned out to be a scoundrel who ate its own offspring.
"Finally, I've been allowed to emerge. Tsk tsk, it smells like a dragon cub!" The red dragon sniffed the air, revealing a greedy expression.
Seeing Yuheng, he smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this my old acquaintance, Yuheng? I didn't expect to see you the first thing I did after coming out. It's truly fate!"
"Back then, you managed to escape from me. That taste... I really want to taste it again."
With a "whoosh," the sect leader unleashed a powerful sword strike, infused with pure spiritual energy, which actually injured the red dragon, who was unable to dodge in time, severing its arm.
But then he saw Honglong disgustedly swallow his own arm, saying with relish, "The taste is not bad. It's you, Chen Zhoubai!"
They're all old acquaintances.
While things were getting heated on one side, Zhang Jinchi completely let loose and chased after Nian Wanzhou, wanting to win her over.
Nian Wanzhou was also fighting desperately, dodging and retaliating against Zhang Jinchi at the same time, as was Wei Wenru above her. The three of them chased each other, flying back and forth in the sky above the Guixu Sect, which was quite a spectacular sight.
The sect leader also joined the battle, working together with Yuheng to force the red dragon into a series of defeats.
Although the Red Dragon was only at the Integration Stage, he was still some distance from the Sect Master. Even with his thick skin and flesh, he couldn't compare to Nian Wanzhou. He also lacked Nian Wanzhou's imposing aura, and the surrounding area was filled with the pure spiritual energy he feared most. His arrogance didn't last long before he was suppressed and beaten by Yuheng and the Sect Master.
Nian Wanzhou performed exceptionally well. Although she couldn't defeat Zhang Jinchi, she could purify herself and withstand damage.
The spiritual power transferred to Wei Wenru also came in very handy, as she was able to use it to inflict damage on Zhang Jinchi, causing him to suffer numerous cuts.
After being nourished by spiritual energy, Wei Wenru recovered from her injuries faster than Zhang Jinchi, healing almost instantly.
Everyone below was stunned: "My goodness, that's amazing, absolutely amazing!"
This made Zhang Jinchi even angrier. He gathered his strength, leaped behind Wei Wenru, and delivered a powerful blow to her.
With a "bang," Wei Wenru was knocked down and flew directly to the ground, then spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhang Jinchi was overjoyed: "This time I'm going to tear you to shreds!"
Having said that, he reached out to grab Nian Wanzhou, the black power emanating from his hand seeming ready to devour her. Especially that longsword gleaming with a cold light, it looked as if it could cleave Nian Wanzhou into pieces at any moment.
Wei Wenru struggled to her feet, wanting to protect Nian Wanzhou. She shouted hoarsely, "Wanwan, run!"
Yuheng and the sect leader were trapped by the red dragon, and the other sect leaders were also blown away by Zhang Jinchi's black mist, crashing straight to the ground and rocks, where they became embedded and unable to escape.
The sect leader, with a burst of energy, was about to rescue Nian Wanzhou.
Yuheng and the red dragon transformed into their original forms and became entangled, tearing at each other. Several gashes were torn in the golden dragon's body, and blood flowed freely.
The suppression of cultivation level left Yuheng covered in injuries, while the sect leader was choked by the black mist behind Zhang Jinchi, the black mist swirling around his body constantly eroding his thoughts.
His vision gradually blurred, and he saw Wei Wenru lying in a pool of blood, closing his eyes in pain.
"Master, I failed to protect her, I deserve to die..."
In his hazy state, he saw his master waving at him, saying those familiar words: "Zhou Bai, I'm entrusting the Heavenly Mystery Sect to you. Take good care of your junior brothers and sisters. I'm taking my leave now."
The black mist raged, and all those who tried to attack Zhang Jinchi were controlled.
"Haha, you've finally shown up to help me! After seeing me suffer for so long, you've finally come out to work. Go ahead and work, all I want is Little White Dragon!" Zhang Jinchi looked at Yuheng and the others who were trapped in mid-air and laughed triumphantly.
With a wave of his hand, the longsword grew several times larger, and with a clang, it struck Nian Wanzhou directly on the head, who had been distracted.
Not satisfied with just one blow, it kept smashing the dragon's most vulnerable spot, the middle of its horns.
"Waaaaah!" Nian Wanzhou snapped out of her daze and tried to dodge, but she was still hit hard seven or eight times. Dizzy, she burst into tears.
A baby's piercing cry echoed through the sky.
"You thief, don't go too far! If you have the guts, come at me! What kind of skill is it to bully a little baby!" Seeing this, Wei Wenru was furious and desperately broke through the black mist and the pressure from the Tribulation Transcending stage expert.
