I slowly opened my eyes in the clouds. Before me, thunder rumbled, and two giant dragons were still wrestling with each other amidst the lightning.
As the two dragons rubbed against each other, their scales fell like raindrops.
Gu Yuan, the silver dragon, had been so majestic and domineering before, but now he was badly wounded. There were only a few scales left on his body, revealing the bright - red flesh beneath. His blood trickled down the scales and dropped from the clouds.
It was obvious that Gu Yuan was clearly using his true form to go head - to - head with Ying Gou and the Heavenly Emperor on the opposite side. To be able to hold on until now against two opponents was truly remarkable.
Amidst the thunder and lightning, looking at Gu Yuan, who was almost skinned alive, I couldn't think about anything else in my mind.
The black dragon on the opposite side roared angrily: "The dragon pearl, hahaha..."
There were at least fifty or sixty eyes on the black dragon's forehead. They seemed to have found Gu Yuan's dragon pearl.
As he spoke, his laughter resounded through the sky. Then he opened his dragon's mouth and charged towards Gu Yuan again.
However, instead of a tongue in the black dragon's mouth, there were countless red - haired zombies covered in blood.
Those zombies rushed straight at Gu Yuan's true form. Each of them was like a monkey, digging their extremely long black fingernails into the fresh flesh unprotected by scales.
The painful dragon roars mixed with the sound of tearing flesh pierced my ears. My heart ached so much that it felt even worse than being stabbed with a knife.
I couldn't let that evil dragon hurt Gu Yuan anymore. I took a step forward and rushed towards Gu Yuan without hesitation.
I don't know where the strength came from, but as I stepped on the clouds under my feet, colorful water lilies emerged. As I ran towards Gu Yuan, water lilies bloomed behind me.
When I took a step, a water lily would bloom under my feet, and silver light would fly out from its flower core. When I lifted my foot, the water lily would wrap around its core and gradually wither.
The silver light fluttered like fireflies and flew towards Gu Yuan.
As soon as the red - haired zombies that were gnawing on Gu Yuan's dragon body came into contact with a bit of the silver light, they immediately turned into a handful of ashes and were scattered by the strong wind.
"Gu Yuan..." I rushed in front of him and hugged his body tightly, calling out his name.
Gu Yuan was already in a half - dead state at this moment. Hearing me calling his name, his body moved slightly, and then his dragon body gradually shrank and returned to his human form.
I held the dying Gu Yuan in my arms and looked at the black dragon on the opposite side, which also returned to its human form.
However, there was a certain distance between him and me. I just glanced at him obliquely, then looked at Gu Yuan with a heart - full of pity, and tears welled up in my eyes.
Gu Yuan's breathing was a bit disordered. He endured the pain in his body and said to me, "Long Lin. Wasn't he supposed to guard you?"
"At a time like this, you still want to push me to someone else?" I was really angry. If it weren't for his injury, I would really have hit him.
Gu Yuan's lips were chapped, and it was even a bit difficult for him to lift his eyelids. "I didn't. How could I be willing to push you to someone else..."
He swallowed his dry throat, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, showing me a smile. When his mouth curled up, the chapped lips split, making his brows furrow tightly.
At the same time, the Heavenly Emperor on the opposite side had already approached us.
I immediately raised my eyes and glared at him. He actually stopped in his tracks.
His hands, which were like dry branches, quickly reached out. Countless blood - like worms grew out of his palms. They were very long and kept wriggling.
The blood - red eyes all over his body seemed to be connected to these blood worms. The blood - streaked eyeballs moved and all looked at me. Then, raging flames blazed around me again.
"Sure enough, it's the scale of the snake of Nuwa. Since the spirit of the snake scale has appeared, demons and monsters have nowhere to hide. Today, I'll melt you and make you serve me." The Heavenly Emperor's dual voices seemed to come from inside an urn, sounding extremely eerie.
Seeing him approaching, I felt extremely uncomfortable all over. Thinking of the torture Gu Yuan had just endured, the fire of anger in my heart burned even more fiercely than the flames around me.
I put Gu Yuan down, but he tightly grabbed my hand and said, "Lan Lan... Be obedient. Go back quickly. You're no match for him..."
"And neither are you..." After saying that, I picked up the Chi Xiao Sword beside Gu Yuan with one hand and dragged him forward.
The tip of the sword touched the clouds, and it was as if metal had touched a high - voltage wire. Sparks flew in the clouds.
This situation even stunned the Heavenly Emperor on the opposite side. He never expected that the Chi Xiao Sword, which weighed hundreds of pounds, could be lifted by me with one hand.
"Going to melt me, right? Come on. I'd like to see how you're going to melt me."
At this moment, I roared angrily at the Heavenly Emperor on the opposite side. My eyes full of hatred emitted an evil purple light. That light wasn't just in my eyes; I even felt a layer of purple smoke floating out of them.
I picked up the Chi Xiao Sword with both hands, and as I stepped forward with lotus flowers blooming under my feet, I slashed towards the Heavenly Emperor on the opposite side.
The Heavenly Emperor and Ying Gou on the opposite side were both battle - hardened veterans. Seeing me waving the blade at them recklessly, the blade was full of evil qi.
When a sword was stabbed out, it was as if a colorful python was spouting from the tip of the sword.
The colorful python was as long as a ten - story building. Its body coiled in front of me, like a giant mountain. Its snake head raised, and the umbrella - like hoods on both sides of its head flared out. As its snake mouth opened, its head suddenly stood up.
I stood in front of this huge snake, and my forehead felt hot.
The giant python lowered its head, and its red eyes glanced at me. I saw my own reflection in its snake eyes.
I saw a flower decoration like a lotus appearing on my forehead. When this flower decoration was reflected in the snake's eyes, it gradually spread out.
The giant snake seemed to sense my anger and pain. It turned to look at the Heavenly Emperor on the opposite side and let out another deafening snake roar.
The giant snake moved its body in the clouds above the Lingxiao Palace. Its huge snake head looked down at the Heavenly Emperor, opened its blood - red mouth, and pounced on the Heavenly Emperor.
Its speed was astonishing. In an instant, the Heavenly Emperor's body was submerged in the huge body of the snake.
I held the Chi Xiao Sword in my hand, but the anger in my heart never subsided.
The giant snake was huge, and it had the upper hand when fighting against the Heavenly Emperor.
However, with my current ability, I could only summon it for a short time. Just as the giant snake opened its blood - red mouth to swallow the Heavenly Emperor.
The Chi Xiao Sword in my hand suddenly trembled. The body of the colorful python gradually became transparent and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the traces of its crawling in the clouds.
I almost couldn't believe that it was really summoned by me.
Seeing the snake disappear and my body showing signs of exhaustion, the hand holding the Chi Xiao Sword was even shaken until it bled.
The blood flowed down the hilt. When the blood reached the blade, all of my blood was absorbed by the blade.
