Riding a dragon and riding a phoenix
Lu Yixin seemed to lose her balance and collapsed to her knees in the blood. It felt as if a thousand silver needles were piercing her brain; the ringing in her ears and the rhythm of her heartbeat intersected, unleashing a tempestuous storm.
"No, this is impossible..."
She clutched her head and muttered to herself, "No, none of this is real."
"Lu Yixin, Lu Yixin, wake up..."
She cried out, her voice hoarse, "Wake up!"
"king!"
Lian Chu was shocked and immediately abandoned Chuan Shan, turning to fly towards Shen Qiexing in mid-air. The two swords in his hands shone brightly, and two fierce blades of light came rushing towards Shen Qiexing.
But then a terrifying scene unfolded. With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Qiexing caused the two blades of light to vanish into the wind without even touching his clothes.
Su Yunyu looked up in disbelief, her pupils suddenly contracting. "This Suifeng, he's actually..."
It's a dragon that should have been wiped out a thousand years ago!
Apart from the tribal leaders and senior officials of the Forest Clan, only a handful of people present had the privilege of witnessing that unprecedented war of genocide. The fear of being dominated by the Dragon Clan at that time was something they would never forget.
How did a dragon end up here...?
Tu Shan Jue and Chun Hu Wan Dai looked extremely unpleasant, with a hint of lingering fear in their expressions.
Who would have thought that the person they were trading with was a dragon, and they almost ended up fighting with him!
That's practically suicide!
Lian Chu pointed his sword directly at Shen Qiexing's brow. Shen Qiexing was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, but dared not take a step back, fearing that Shen Qiexing would harm the Forest King.
"Release the king!"
"Take it out on me!"
Shen Qiexing sneered, "You don't deserve it!"
Since the appearance of Shen Qiexing, everyone in Jingshen Valley has been completely silent, with only the howling of war flames encroaching on the land. Their eyes are filled with despair, their bodies tremble incessantly, and their consciousness seems to be frozen, unable to think anymore.
This is an innate instinct of all living things; no one can remain calm and composed when facing a dragon.
The god looked down at the people below with compassion. He grabbed the Forest King with one hand and said, word by word, "People of the Forest Clan, this is your Forest Clan's King."
"The king who is loved and revered is nothing but a hypocrite."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Qi Huan's eyes widened in anger. He was furious and leaped into the air, preparing to strike Shen Qiexing with his claw!
Just as he stretched out his claws, Shen Qiexing raised his hand and threw a water blade at him. Qi Huan was immediately unable to move and fell heavily from the sky, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Don’t rush me,” Shen Qiexing wiped his hands with disgust and gave a mischievous smile. “I haven’t finished yet.”
“A thousand years ago, the Forest Clan, together with the Phoenix Clan and the Spirit Clan, slaughtered my Dragon God Clan. But no one expected that they would let me, the one who escaped the net, go.”
He surveyed the corpses and trembling survivors from his elevated position, a sense of pleasure filling him.
"When you slaughtered my people, did you ever think that you too would one day suffer the same fate of losing your family and home?"
"Did you ever imagine this scene would unfold today?!"
Have you ever thought about what it would feel like to have the body of a loved one lying next to you...?
He tightened his grip on the Forest King's hand, his eyes turning bloodshot. "My people did nothing wrong, why did you do this to them? Why!"
"God, go!"
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. A very thin vine, like a snake, had silently wrapped around it, and poisonous thorns sprouted from the vine and pierced his skin.
It hurts a lot, but not in my arm, it's in my left chest cavity.
What is it? Why does it hurt so much...?
He looked up along the flower vines and saw that familiar figure trembling slightly, floating in the air with his help.
She can't fly; she'll fall if he raises his hand.
"let go!"
The little deer fairy was looking at him with disappointed eyes, as if she had just crawled out of a sea of blood, her whole body bathed in blood.
She was injured.
Those blind fools still managed to hurt her.
"Let go of Grandpa right now, or don't blame me for killing you without regard for our past relationship!"
This little fool, why did you reveal that you know him? It will arouse suspicion.
In an instant, Lu Yixin connected all the dots.
The dragon clan that Zhao Zhao spoke of, the Forest King visited several times, and the Phoenix Maiden forcibly took her away without any explanation...
It's all because of him!
Lu Yixin bit her lower lip hard. He was lying! A kind man like her grandfather couldn't possibly have done something like massacring his entire clan, absolutely not!
"Heart."
Shen Qiexing slowly approached her, but Lu Yixin neither dodged nor avoided him, stubbornly raising her head to meet his gaze.
The two grew closer and closer, so close that Shen Qiexing could smell the fragrance in her hair with just a slight bow of his head, so close that he could see the tears welling up in her eyes, and so close that he could hear the deafening heartbeat of Little Deer Fairy in his ears.
"I'm sorry," he gently touched Lu Yixin's cheek, "Xinxin."
"I didn't mean to hide it from you..."
"Stop talking," Lu Yixin interrupted him, clutching the flower vine tightly and crying, "I don't want to hear your voice."
Shen Qiexing was stunned. His heart suddenly started pounding wildly, accompanied by excruciating pain. He didn't know what was wrong with him. The little deer fairy's tone and eyes were causing him unbearable pain. He even thought about dying.
“Well,” he gave a wry smile, “but no one can stop me today.”
"Then you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Lu Yixin spread her arms wide and cried out, "I won't let you hurt Grandpa!"
Lian Chu shifted his gaze between the two in shock, genuinely worried for Lu Yixin.
This child is truly fearless, like a newborn calf. When she was born, the dragon race had already been slaughtered, so she had never experienced the oppressive power of the dragon race.
If the dragon god wanted to, he could kill her without lifting a finger.
"Xin Xin, don't force me," Shen Qiexing turned his head away from her, his voice already choked with emotion, "Can't you put yourself in my shoes and think about things from my perspective too!"
"In this vast world, not even a corner was left for me; I have wandered alone for a thousand years."
“All my relatives and clansmen died in that massacre. Do you know that they say the Tianpin Sea was completely dyed red? It wasn’t red, it was the blood of my clansmen!”
"After the war ended, blood rained down on the Tianpin Sea for three consecutive days. After three days, all evidence of the dragons' existence vanished, leaving only me, burdened with the responsibility of avenging the dragons. I'm exhausted..."
Shen Qiexing covered his face, and after a moment his face showed only a resolute determination as if he were facing death. He composed himself and said coldly to Lu Yixin, "Xinxin, move aside."
"No! You're lying to me, you must be!"
Lu Yixin shook her head in disbelief, crying uncontrollably, "How could Grandpa do such a thing!"
Seeing that she was still blocking the Forest King, Shen Qiexing hardened his heart, and the blue light in his hand slashed through the night sky, and crescent-shaped ice shards pierced towards the Forest King!
She won't run away!
Lu Yixin gritted her teeth, protected the Forest King behind her, and charged straight into the direction from which the ice spikes were coming!
"Heart!"
Several anxious cries came from all directions. Shen Qiexing looked at her in shock, wanting to take back the ice shard, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the ice shard pierced through the little deer's fragile body, and blood splattered on the spot.
Sen Wang burst into tears, but he was too weak and imprisoned by Shen Qiexing's men, unable to move. He seemed to have aged hundreds of years in an instant, and called out Lu Yixin's name in a hoarse voice.
"I'm fine..."
Lu Yixin was knocked back to the side of the Forest King, knelt on one knee, and vomited a mouthful of blood. Her watery eyes sparkled like stars in the sky. "Grandpa, tell me, is what he said true?"
"......yes."
The stars began to fall at that moment.
Looking at the trembling girl covered in blood, the Forest King burst into tears, "But..."
But there are reasons for all of that!
"But what do you mean? Tell me!" Shen Qiexing roared at him.
The power of words took effect at that moment, and the Forest King could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue and remain silent.
This was undoubtedly a provocation in Shen Qiexing's eyes. In an instant, thunder roared and golden lightning, like a winding dragon, darted through the dark clouds.
The fluorescent blue water dragon gradually condensed, and just as Shen Qiexing unleashed his attack, a golden light suddenly appeared in the east, and the fire dispelled half of the dark clouds. A huge nine-tailed phoenix descended from the sky, and its sharp cry pierced the ears of all the survivors, causing them to be deaf for several seconds.
The phoenix maiden raised a ball of golden flame, intercepting the water dragon's attack. In just a few days, this young dragon god had grown considerably!
If we can't deal with him today, things will only get more difficult in the future.
The Phoenix Maiden slightly raised her phoenix eyes, calmed her rapid breathing, and sneered, "Dragon God, since you dare to show yourself, don't blame me for being impolite!"
She clapped her hands lightly, and thousands of Phoenix Clan female generals followed behind her in a grand procession.
To deal with Brother Qiexing alone, do we really need to mobilize so many troops...?
Lu Yixin's pupils shrank sharply. If all these people attacked together, Brother Qiexing would definitely not be able to defeat them!
What should she do? What should she do?
Lu Yixin wasn't the only one struggling with this; Chuanshan asked Su Yunyu in a low voice, "What should we do?"
Will they help Sui Feng fight against the Phoenix Clan army, or will they turn against Sui Feng?
Given the current situation, the young Dragon God, who has not yet grown up, is no match for the Divine Lord Phoenix Maiden. Perhaps standing on Phoenix Maiden's side is the right choice.
But they have already committed acts of treason, and once the war subsides, they will definitely be in deep trouble.
Su Yunyu pondered for only a moment before quickly making a decision. "Help Suifeng, let's go!"
If she loses, she can simply leave Mitianze with the three of them. But if she helps Huang Nu and the others, she will not get any benefits and will be sentenced to death.
With the fox clan's intervention, Shen Qiexing was free from worries and could focus on dealing with the Phoenix Maiden.
He can't beat the Phoenix Maiden.
Both sides are well aware of this.
But as the last member of the dragon race, he could never back down.
"Bring it on."
Shen Qiexing, his body shrouded in blue water patterns, swooped down towards Huang Nu!
