Even Qinglong's attack paused for a moment.
Shen Sangruo clearly did not expect this outcome, after all, the stone statues were so defensively strong, while this seemingly more powerful Azure Dragon had its scales so easily pierced.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Azure Dragon paused, everyone finally had a chance to catch their breath, and of course, they also saw the bloody hole in the Azure Dragon's body.
Song Weiyan complained, "So this guy is really that fragile? Goodness, it turns out he maxed out his attack power and didn't upgrade his defense at all."
The Azure Dragon was much easier to kill than they had imagined.
Moreover, that pause indicates that the azure dragon can feel pain and is affected by it.
Once it feels pain, it will be unable to attack them.
“If we had attacked it together from the beginning, we might have killed it by now.” Su Xiyu looked like she had lost a fortune. “We were careless; we didn’t even try.”
Because of the defensive capabilities of the stone statues in front, they assumed that this Azure Dragon would be just as difficult to kill.
Therefore, when the Azure Dragon attacked them, their first reaction was to defend.
The Azure Dragon is not invincible; its greatest weakness is its fragile body, as thin as paper.
Having realized this, a new hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts.
Shen Sanruo frowned slightly as she stared intently at the bleeding wound on Qinglong's body.
After the initial joy, she felt that something was amiss.
He was still pondering the origin of this azure dragon, and he increasingly felt that it was not the product of evil cultivators.
But it couldn't be a real Azure Dragon. If it were, its scales wouldn't be so easily pierced by her arrows, and its abilities in all aspects would only be stronger.
Of course, even if it were truly a Azure Dragon, it couldn't kill them, just like Qi Yan once tried to kill her; it would be restricted by the Heavenly Dao.
Is it related to the real Azure Dragon? What is its relationship with the real Azure Dragon?
If it is related to the real Azure Dragon, why would it appear in the evil cultivators' formation? And why would it attack them?
Would an evil cultivator have the ability to attack a real Azure Dragon? This was also the reason why she initially thought that this Azure Dragon could not be a real Azure Dragon.
Qinglong recovered from the pain and was enraged by the arrow she had shot, causing his aura to surge.
"How dare you! You attempted to destroy the cultivation world and even dared to harm me!"
It hurts so much!
"I will kill you all! Go to hell!" Azure Dragon roared, then chanted, summoning a huge array beneath everyone's feet.
They recognized the formation immediately; it was the Judgment Formation.
They then realized that the Azure Dragon had been attacking them with various elemental powers, perhaps thinking that elemental power was enough to deal with them, and had not summoned the Judgment Formation.
A judgment array enveloped everyone, much like the scene Shen Sangruo had witnessed in the Misty Abyss.
The array covered the entire room, flashing with an unusually bright light, making it impossible to avoid.
Like a bucket of ice-cold water, it completely extinguished the hope that had just been ignited in their hearts.
Once the judgment formation is activated, they will surely die.
Ji Zicang felt a tightness in his chest. "What do you mean by destroying the cultivation world? You're being completely wronged! If you really want to protect the cultivation world, you should obediently let us destroy you, the core of the formation!"
"It is those evil cultivators who want to destroy the cultivation world, it has nothing to do with us. On the contrary, we are the ones who are preventing the cultivation world from being destroyed."
"What a stupid dragon, it can't even tell the difference. As expected, the product of evil cultivators is brainless."
Azure Dragon did not respond to his words and continued to activate the formation.
The light above the formation flickered continuously, the interplay of light and darkness judging everyone within it.
"Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well give my last bit of strength to the cultivation world before I die." Song Weiyan said, staring intently at the Azure Dragon that was activating the formation.
The fear of death in his eyes had been replaced by a look of determination.
“Even if we die, someone else will enter the barrier and take over our place. Rather than waiting to die, we should use our last strength to attack the Azure Dragon and pave the way for those who come after us.”
Every time they entered the barrier, they were prepared to die.
Even though death was imminent, they had nothing to fear.
The more injuries they inflict on the Azure Dragon, the easier it will be for later survivors to kill it.
No matter how powerful the Azure Dragon is, with waves of people from the entire cultivation world coming in and paving the way with their blood and flesh, it is not impossible to kill it.
The others had the same thought and summoned their magical artifacts to unleash their spiritual power.
They prepared to use their last strength to attack the Azure Dragon.
Shen Sanruo gripped the feather fan tightly; death was naturally not something she feared.
But she felt that things shouldn't be like this; this azure dragon held many mysteries, and there should be a lot of room for them to maneuver.
There must be something they've overlooked, and in that overlooked place lies their lifeblood.
Let her think about it, let her think about it some more.
As if sensing something, she suddenly looked up and saw the flashing light above her.
Shen Sanruo froze for a moment, and her blocked thoughts suddenly came together!
This judgment formation is different from those summoned by stone statues. The formations summoned by stone statues do not have this judgment process; they simply judge them as evil and strangle them.
This is a judgment formation that can only be summoned by the five divine beasts.
However, it is not a real Azure Dragon; its power comes from a real Azure Dragon, and it has a very close connection with the real Azure Dragon.
Perhaps it is the incarnation or clone of the true Azure Dragon.
Regardless of how it appeared here or why it was helping the evil cultivators fight them, Shen Sangri confirmed the identity of the azure dragon before her at this moment.
If its power originates from the true Azure Dragon, then the outcome of the judgment will be the same as Qi Yan's previous judgment of her—it will be ineffective, and they will not be strangled.
The Azure Dragon is restricted by the Heavenly Dao from attacking them; on the contrary, their attacks will fall on the Azure Dragon.
She had tested how fragile the Azure Dragon's body was before. With so many attacks delivered with all their might and risking their lives, it would be severely injured even if it didn't die.
Thinking about this, Shen Sangruo seemed to understand the purpose of those evil cultivators.
Every arrangement made by heretical practitioners must have its own purpose and plan; they will not waste their energy on futile efforts.
Suddenly realizing, she understood that the evil cultivators' true purpose was not to use the Azure Dragon to eliminate those who wanted to destroy the array's core, but to use them to harm or eliminate the real Azure Dragon.
She could then deduce that the Azure Dragon in front of her must be related to the real Azure Dragon, and that if the Azure Dragon was damaged, the real Azure Dragon would also be damaged!
At this moment, the attacks from the others aimed at the Azure Dragon were already imminent.
