"I have a dragon behind me!"
Left with no other choice, Young Master Ao could only shout.
In order to save his life, he hurriedly revealed his most powerful backer.
Clearly, he was also filled with deep fear when faced with the threat of certain death.
After all, if the ghost that his own spiritual body had transformed into died, then he would truly be dead.
However, after saying that "Tianlong" was backing him up, the tense look on Young Master Ao's face dissipated considerably.
After all, in Zhongzhou, everyone has to give Tianlong some face.
Young Master Ao thought that as long as he revealed the name of the Heavenly Dragon, his life would be saved.
However, before he could finish speaking, Li Yu suddenly made his move.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow flew swiftly, aimed directly at the ghostly soul of Prince Ao, under the eager gaze of the Nightmare Beast on the crossbow.
Young Master Ao's ghost was filled with terror. He never expected that Li Yu would actually dare to make a move, especially after he brought up Tianlong, his powerful backer!
There are people in this world who are even braver and less afraid of death than I am!
Just as the arrow was about to tear the ghost apart, the Heavenly Dragon Card suddenly emitted an emerald green halo.
The dragon pattern on the card seemed to come alive. The phantom of the dragon claw grabbed at the arrow in mid-air, causing it to condense into ice crystals before being absorbed into the card and turning into a wisp of green smoke.
Upon seeing this, everyone on the platform showed expressions of surprise.
They saw that Tianlong Card absorbed Li Yu's attack, seemingly protecting Young Master Ao's corpse, indicating that this matter was far from over.
Yunming was equally shocked; it turned out that Young Master Ao really had a connection with Tianlong.
Young Master Ao, who had just survived being struck by arrows, was still in shock, and his ghostly body was still trembling.
He had just escaped death, and felt both relieved and terrified. He then angrily cursed at Li Yu again:
"You madman! You dare to kill me? Do you know what you're doing? Tianlong won't let you get away with this!"
"Tianlong?"
Li Yu picked up the repeating crossbow again and smiled coldly:
"I don't care what kind of dragon or earth dragon you are. You've insulted me time and time again. Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, you'd still die!"
As Li Yu's gaze once again fixed on the ghost, the killing intent emanating from his body grew even stronger.
Noticing the floating Heavenly Dragon Card blocking Young Master Ao's ghostly presence, a fierce glint flashed in Li Yu's eyes, which only fueled his excitement:
"Then let me see how many times this card can protect you!"
Upon seeing this, Young Master Ao was both shocked and furious, and, refusing to believe it, threatened:
"Don't you dare court death! If you stop now, I might put in a good word for you with Tianlong. Otherwise, you're just asking for it!"
Li Yu ignored him and fired another arrow with a loud bang from his crossbow.
This arrow was even faster than the previous one, and a faint white mist was emanating from around the arrow shaft, indicating that the Nightmare Beast had also secretly contributed to the attack. It was eager to kill the wraith that it coveted as soon as possible in order to realize its escape plan.
The floating Heavenly Dragon Card once again took effect, its green light surging, and with a flick of its illusory dragon claw, it forcefully absorbed the arrow shot by Li Yu into the card, making it disappear without a trace.
The difference was that at this moment, a long and helpless sigh suddenly came from the Heavenly Dragon Card:
"well..."
As the sigh slowly subsided, a humanoid phantom, half-human and half-dragon, rose up on the card.
The phantom was covered in green scales, with three crystal dragon horns on its forehead, and its dark golden vertical pupils exuded the pressure of a thousand years, as if it could see through everything in the world at a glance.
The moment Yunming saw the illusory figure, his eyes widened instantly, filled with awe.
He hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully:
"Lord Yunming of Water City pays his respects to Tianlong."
The illusory image of the Heavenly Dragon nodded slightly to Yun Ming without saying a word.
Li Yu stared intently, secretly thinking: Is this the legendary Tianlong?
After the phantom of the Heavenly Dragon appeared, Young Master Ao's ghostly soul suddenly solidified several times, as if it had received the blessing of some powerful force and had been completely saved.
He immediately became emboldened, his distorted face filled with glee, and arrogantly pointed at Li Yu, continuing to hurl insults:
"Fool, you're blind!"
"Do you see the Heavenly Dragon? It's too late for you to end your own life now!"
The ghostly figure of Young Master Ao quickly floated to the side of Tianlong's phantom, arrogantly mocking Li Yu:
"You lowly..."
"Noisy."
Tianlong suddenly spoke, his voice deep and majestic, resounding like a great bell throughout the surroundings.
Young Master Ao's ghostly spirit was instantly squeezed as if by an invisible dragon claw, letting out a miserable cry. His body shrank rapidly several times over, and he dared not speak again.
Only then did the illusory figure of the Heavenly Dragon lower its head and look down at Li Yu, its gaze filled with scrutiny:
"Triple Soul-Devouring Eyes? It can subdue Nightmare Beasts, no wonder it can see through Ghost Souls."
At this moment, the Nightmare Beast in Li Yu's spiritual sea was like a well-behaved child who had made a mistake, quietly staying beside the infant spirit without daring to move, as if afraid of attracting the attention of the Heavenly Dragon.
"But do you know..."
The dragon's roar suddenly transformed into thunder, its sound like rolling lightning:
"The souls that the Heavenly Dragon Mansion of Zhongzhou seeks to protect, even the Yama's Palace cannot take away!"
Thunder roared throughout the area, startling everyone.
But there was no fear in Li Yu's eyes; instead, he raised the crossbow in his hand.
It's not like the true form of the Heavenly Dragon has descended here; let's see just how powerful this phantom of the Heavenly Dragon really is.
Seeing Li Yu's fearless and naive demeanor, Yunming secretly thought to himself that something was wrong.
Clearly, Li Yu did not know who Tianlong was, nor did he know how terrifying Tianlong truly was.
