At this moment, the two dragons circling on the reef suddenly opened their eyes, staring ahead with murderous intent. Hei Xiangling also noticed something and her eyes lit up. When she saw the two dragons, her mouth watered.
The two dragons sensed the presence of their natural enemy, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. "You! You are a member of the Kunpeng clan!"
The two dragons stared at Hei Xiangling in disbelief. Wasn't the Kunpeng clan extinct? How could there still be one? And how could the laws of Heaven allow her to appear, let alone come to the Dragon Palace?
"Two horned dragons, but that's enough to satisfy this Holy Venerable's craving!" Black Fragrant Feather's eyes gleamed with excitement as she transformed into her true form, charging towards the two horned dragons with overwhelming pressure and power.
The horned dragon's heart sank. It didn't understand why Black Fragrant Feather wasn't struck by the lightning of the Heavenly Dao Law, but it didn't allow them to think about that now.
Bang bang bang!
Several loud noises shook the ground. Ji Jiuying frowned and quickened her pace. Later, Feng Che and the others also vaguely sensed the powerful energy fluctuations. Their hearts sank. Could it be that something had happened to Jiu'er and the others?
But looking at the dozen or so roads in front of him, Feng Che was confused. "It seems we need to split up and act separately."
Yin Han nodded. "Okay."
Feng Che's gaze fell on Feng Qingxue, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, he said, "You can come with me."
Feng Qingxue smiled slightly and quickly agreed.
The sudden tremor startled Hua Li, who was still wandering in the forest. Her gaze fell on the palace not far away. The tremor seemed to be coming from that direction. Hua Li narrowed her eyes and quickly walked over.
——
Hei Xiangling's lips curled up slightly. Even if Qinglong were here, he wouldn't be her match, let alone just two small horned dragons.
Soon, the horned dragon was being pressed down and could hardly breathe. Hei Xiangling smiled wickedly: "Just let this Holy Venerable eat you obediently, and stop making these futile struggles."
"You treacherous and cunning Kunpeng, don't even think about it!"
One of the dragons charged forward angrily, but it was no match for Hei Xiangling and was subdued in one move. Hei Xiangling didn't waste any more time with them and opened her blood-red maw to bite one of the dragons.
Ji Jiuying arrived just then and shouted, "Xiang Ling, no!"
But how could Hei Xiangling possibly spit out meat that was already in her mouth, especially since it was dragon meat that she hadn't eaten in 30,000 years? Right under Ji Jiuying's nose, she swallowed the horned dragon whole.
Rumble!
The sound of thunder echoed overhead, and Ji Jiuying's heart sank. Could it be that the evil fire was right? She quickly put the little phoenix on her shoulder back into her space to prevent her from getting hurt.
Upon hearing the familiar thunderous sound, Hei Xiangling instantly transformed into human form. This was the thunderous energy of the Heavenly Dao! What was going on? Hadn't she already formed a contract with that brat? How could she still possess the thunderous energy of the Heavenly Dao?
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky above Julong Lake, hitting Ji Jiuying. Before she could even cry out, she collapsed into a pool of blood. The Phoenix Frost Bracelet continued to absorb her blood. Gong Mingyue suddenly clutched his chest, knelt down, and looked pained.
The person who possessed the Phoenix Frost Bracelet has suffered a fatal injury! But why does his heart ache so much?
Hei Xiangling stood there, stunned and at a loss. How could this be! How could this be!
How could the thunderous strike of the Heavenly Laws fall on that brat? The other horned dragon finally understood why. "So you actually made a contract with a human as your master. No wonder you're here. But you don't know, do you? The mistakes you've made will be borne by this contractor. If she dies, you won't be able to leave the Dragon Palace alive."
The horned dragon's words struck like a bolt from the blue; Hei Xiangling trembled. Could it be...?
With a deafening rumble, thunder roared overhead once more. Hei Xiangling snapped out of her daze and quickly helped Ji Jiuying up from the ground. Her large, trembling hand gently stroked her face. At this moment, the illusion surrounding Ji Jiuying had vanished, revealing her original stunning beauty. However, her clear eyes were now tightly closed, her long black hair hung down, and her blood-red dress was tattered.
The usually fearless Hei Xiangling was now trembling as she spoke, a flicker of panic in her eyes. The heavenly lightning punishing her Kunpeng clan was different from the usual tribulations they received during their advancement; its power was several times greater. How could she possibly withstand it…?
"Girl? Girl, I'm sorry..."
Ji Jiuying struggled to open her eyes, her soul feeling as if it had been struck by lightning and burned. The intense pain rendered her powerless, and blood kept gushing from her mouth.
Hei Xiangling hugged her tightly, saying in a flustered voice, "Girl, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't know..."
Rumble!
Hei Xiangling tightened her grip on Ji Jiuying, a wave of self-reproach washing over her, engulfing her entire body: "Girl, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
The horned dragon watched all this without any sympathy. In his view, it was all her own fault. There were three bolts of heavenly lightning, each stronger than the last. The human woman was already in such a state after the first bolt; she would probably have no chance of withstanding the next two bolts.
At the same time, Gong Mingyue endured the excruciating pain and flashed above Julong Lake. His deep eyes looked up at the thunderclouds, his lips were tightly pursed, and his face was terribly gloomy.
Dark eyes stared intently at the person above the thunderclouds in the sky... The man with purple eyes met those terrifying, deep eyes, chuckled, but the lightning strike he had gathered in his hand showed no sign of softening.
A bolt of lightning, imbued with the aura of divine punishment, struck straight down from the clouds. Gong Mingyue's deep eyes were filled with a terrifyingly sinister light. He subconsciously gathered spiritual power in his hand, and a powerful spiritual shield flew towards the path of the lightning.
Bang!
The two forces collided, and the aftershocks exploded in the Dragon Abyss Forest, causing the earth to shake violently. Such terrifying power brought undeserved disaster to those who were training in the Dragon Abyss Forest.
With a series of cracking sounds, the spiritual energy shield shattered instantly. Gong Mingyue staggered two steps due to the backlash of the power, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Yingyue and Wuxin appeared behind Gong Mingyue in an instant.
"master?"
Gong Mingyue didn't turn around. Instead, he raised his hand and wiped the bright red from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips. A look of doubt flashed in his eyes. How could such divine punishment fall on that person?
——
The lightning bolt pierced through the Dragon Palace and struck Ji Jiuying and Hei Xiangling directly. Although Gong Mingyue managed to block some of the lightning's power, the two of them couldn't withstand it and collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood.
This scene was witnessed by several people who came later. Feng Che's heart tightened, and he rushed forward in alarm to pick up Ji Jiuying from the ground. He continuously transmitted spiritual energy to Ji Jiuying's back, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Jiu'er! Jiu'er!"
"What exactly is going on?"
