Chapter 298 Slaying the Flood Dragon Clan: A Battle to the Ends of the Earth
Inside the formation, blood mist surged, as if countless wronged souls were howling.
Zhai Rongyu gripped the Han Guang sword and struggled to move forward.
Each swing of the sword was accompanied by a shrill howl.
The Hunyuan Bell shook, separating her from the blood mist, but even so, Zhai Rongyu still felt that her path forward was fraught with obstacles.
The blood mist was dispersed by the sword energy, but quickly gathered again, enveloping the halo formed by the Hunyuan Bell, creating a powerful sense of oppression.
It seems like it can never be completely eradicated.
Zhai Rong frowned, opened her third eye, and saw a dragon bone floating at the center of the formation.
She had made up her mind.
[The dragon dwells in the deep sea; perhaps it can use the power of the underwater sinking star to quickly approach the array's core.]
She grasped the sunken star at the bottom of the water and summoned the power of the ocean.
Sure enough, a surging giant wave pushed her straight in a certain direction, quickly bringing her to the dragon bones.
"We're getting close to the core of the formation!"
The dragon bone gleamed with an eerie black and red light. As soon as Zhai Rongyu approached, she felt a tremendous suction force that violently pulled her spiritual energy out of her body!
【not good! 】
If it drains your spiritual energy, the formation will be unbreakable!
The excruciating pain of having my bone scraped swept through my entire body.
Zhai Rongyu was startled. She closed her eyes and, enduring the excruciating pain, began to chant a spell.
"Qingqing, with Bing and Ding in my heart. To the right is the Southern Dipper, to the left are the Seven Stars. I can emanate the primordial chaos, and heaven and earth will be born. With my body, I will return to the true form!"
She suddenly opened her eyes, her left hand burning with talisman paper, drawing out all her spiritual power and pouring it into the Han Guang Sword without reservation, slashing at the dragon bone.
"Disperse the foul air!"
"Edict!"
The golden light was dazzling, the sword spirit whistled, and the pure Dao energy flew away like lightning, causing the array core to shake incessantly.
In an instant, the dragon bones shattered, and the blood mist vanished.
The immaculate spirit body is the best vessel by nature, and can even withstand ancient fierce formations.
Zhai Rongyu merged her spiritual power and consciousness into one, becoming the new array eye. She shifted her form and changed the array, transforming the fierce array into a spiritual array, carrying powerful healing power that pierced through the void and covered the entire East China Sea.
A gentle breeze swept across the sea, smoothing away all the damage left by the blood mist.
The seawater turned blue again, and Jun Ce and Yan Feng reappeared.
Long Qianxue was shocked.
"How is this possible... how is this possible... this mortal actually has the ability to shake an ancient and ferocious formation!"
Before she could react, a violent bolt of lightning, carrying intense killing intent, pierced through her body.
Long Qianxue stared in horror, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and fell straight into the sea.
In his trembling eyes, Jun Ce's cold and angry face was reflected.
Yan Feng followed up with another stab.
"Those who harm Ayu shall die!"
The fiery blade unleashed a fierce sword intent, cleaving Long Qianxue's entire body into pieces.
Lightning surged within his body, while external wounds burned.
Long Qianxue convulsed, enduring the torture specially designed for her. Reason and dignity were completely annihilated. In the end, she could not bear the pain and died on the reef in a state of madness.
Their deaths were so gruesome and terrifying that they inspired fear in those who beheld them.
Looking at Long Qianxue's corpse, Long Zhuochi felt a wave of fear wash over him.
"Withdraw! Withdraw immediately!"
But it was already too late.
Jun Ce revealed his true form and roared. The immense power of lightning instantly filled the entire East Sea, and even the Abyss Key in Long Zhuochi's hand was cleaved into ashes.
"no no!"
"My key...my key!"
Long Zhuochi had completely lost hope and went into a frenzy.
Suo was terrified. "Your Highness, run!"
It can even cleave the Key to the Abyss; what terrifying spiritual power is this? I'm afraid that all the members of the Flood Dragon Clan combined wouldn't be a match for that true dragon descendant!
"Escape?" Jun Ce sneered.
A domineering, arrogant air lies hidden beneath those silent eyes.
"The Jiaolong clan has lost its humanity."
"I hereby swear that I, in the body of a true dragon, will annihilate the dragon clan, to the ends of the earth, until death do us part!"
Long Zhuochi went mad, roaring at Jun Ce: "How dare you slaughter the dragon clan! Who gave you the audacity...who gave you the audacity!"
Lightning went berserk.
Long Zhuochi ordered Suo Ze to stand in front of him.
The true dragon was enraged, and how much strength did Suo have to contend with it? He was quickly defeated and killed by Yan Feng's sword.
Long Zhuochi trembled and retreated, a sinister aura gradually rising from his body.
"Bastard...bastard!"
"You have destroyed all my hopes, I will kill you!"
He revealed his true form as a dragon.
Jun Ce's eyes were icy cold, looking at him as if he were a lifeless object. "If you resist stubbornly, today I will make you die in oblivion!"
Two dragons locked in combat.
Yan Feng, in coordination, unleashed blazing sword intent wherever Jun Ce's lightning struck.
Dragon horns, dragon body, dragon claws, dragon tail...
They chopped off every part of Long Zhuochi's body in turn, breaking his bones and tendons, but it still wasn't enough.
The churning waves swallowed the blood of the Dragon Bathing Pool, swirling into the depths of the seawater, and then surging up countless white waves, washing the seawater back to a deep blue.
The ocean was enveloped by a spirit array, filled with Zhai Rongyu's spiritual power, gentle and vast, encompassing all things, even accepting the blood of sin.
The agonizing roar echoed through the sky before fading away.
Long Zhuochi, barely clinging to life, looked up at the sky not far away, a ferocious smile suddenly appearing on his face, "You really think you won gloriously? If it weren't for that mortal devouring formation, you wouldn't have been able to kill me at all!"
"I sacrificed a sea creature, but you also sacrificed a mere mortal! What's the difference!"
The killing intent in Jun Ce's eyes faded, gradually replaced by astonishment. "What did you say?"
A devouring formation? Sacrifice...?
Rong'er didn't break the formation, but rather... she used herself as a vessel to devour the ancient, ferocious formation?
Then wouldn't Rong'er be...
His chest tightened, and he turned around abruptly. The spirit array had fully functioned and had now completely dissipated. The sea level had returned to normal, and the girl's figure gradually became clear.
She hung suspended in the air, like a fragile piece of porcelain, falling straight down from the sky.
"Rong'er!"
"Ayo!"
Jun Ce's eyes reddened as he leaped forward to catch her.
Enraged, Yan Feng fiercely swung the Blazing Soul Sword, slicing it across Long Zhuochi's entire body. Scales shattered layer by layer, and Long Zhuochi let out a miserable scream before his life ended as he was consumed by the flames.
Heaven and earth faded.
Jun Ce held the girl in his arms tightly.
Zhai Rongyu closed her eyes, feeling as if her body had lost all weight.
"Rong'er... wake up, look at me..."
An indescribable bitterness filled his chest, and it took him a long time to find his voice again.
"Don't joke with me, okay..."
He reached out and touched Zhai Rongyu's face.
The girl didn't respond.
Those bright, intelligent eyes seemed to be forever closed, tightly shut, not even a tremor in their eyelashes.
Jun Ce's face was pale, and his heart felt as if it had been squeezed and ripped out, then smashed into an ancient, icy abyss, churning in pain and utterly silent.
The sea breeze was blowing, and Jun Ce, unaware of what had happened, found his eyes filled with tears.
"Rong'er...it's all my fault...it's all my fault..."
"You hit me..." He grabbed her hand and slapped it against his own face, "Get up and hit me..."
"You can scold me, you can blame me, just talk to me, don't ignore me..."
Hot tears fell in large drops, landing on the girl's cold arm. He sobbed, feeling as if all his strength had vanished.
