Boom...

Gu Qing hadn't gone far when a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, came from behind him.

The tunnel behind them suddenly collapsed, and through the power of their minds, they could see the dragon's claws being pulled out of the rubble.

Gu Qing swallowed hard.

Even though he had tried his best to overestimate the strength of the Golden Core Realm Poisonous Dragon, he still underestimated its destructive power. The seventy-meter-long underwater tunnel was easily pierced by the dragon's claws, and the entire tunnel collapsed with a single grab.

With his hands supporting the woman in red's shapely buttocks, Gu Qing unleashed a burst of spiritual energy from his feet.

He became a blur, darting through the underground tunnel.

Facing the Golden Core Realm Poison Dragon, Gu Qing dared not hold back in the slightest.

Set your perception to maximum.

The dual perception system, composed of spiritual awareness and mental power, allows for real-time awareness of activity above the tunnel.

Gu Qing used his spiritual sense to detect subtle vibrations coming from the rock strata. If there were any abnormal vibrations, he would immediately move to a different location.

Even so,

The giant claws of the venomous dragon above the tunnel would occasionally glide down not far from Gu Qing.

A slight delay could mean the difference between life and death.

As the time goes,

More and more underground tunnels are collapsing, and many places have become dead ends.

Fortunately, Gu Qingtu's earth elemental properties were of a high level, and his excavation speed was fast enough, so he was not killed by the venomous dragon's sausage-slicing attack underground.

After a frantic escape underground for nearly half an hour, Gu Qing hid on the seabed of this lava sea, where the venomous dragon had practically turned his body upside down.

Gu Qing continued to hide, carrying the woman in red on his back.

After a while.

However, Gu Qing was somewhat surprised when he saw that the venomous dragon was not continuing to "smash the groundhog".

"Holy crap!"

Gu Qing looked up at the sea of ​​lava and immediately swore.

A massive fireball of poison exploded in the lava sea, the crimson lava being pushed in all directions by the shockwave of the explosion, revealing the shattered seabed of lava.

The seabed, which had just been shattered by the venomous dragon, was also blown away by the shockwave of the explosion.

Gu Qing sensed the poisonous fire getting closer and closer.

"Get moving!"

The karmic fire gourd at his waist spewed out a massive amount of crimson sand and karmic fire from a hundred beasts.

The two enveloped Gu Qing and spun rapidly, digging deeper into the earth.

The poisonous fireball exploded too fast. Gu Qing dug deeper, but only sank to a depth of 90 meters before the poisonous fire shockwave caught up with him.

The killing ball composed of crimson sand cushioned the shockwave of the poisonous fire.

but.

Gu Qing's hidden crimson sand attack was blasted away by the shockwave.

Leap out of the ground.

Leaping out of the lava sea.

"Damn insect, you're quite the hider."

"You've delayed me for so long, you have every reason to be proud..."

"Die!"

Seeing Gu Qing forced out, the Poisonous Flood Dragon said viciously.

The venomous dragon planned to collect interest first. It stretched out its huge dragon claw and grabbed at the sand sphere made of crimson sand.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qing's pupils instantly contracted.

This time, it was the venomous dragon who attacked with hatred in its heart.

How to block it?

As the venomous dragon's enormous claw shadow loomed over him, Gu Qing felt a surge of resentment.

At the critical moment, the woman in red on Gu Qing's back suddenly opened her eyes.

The Crimson Lotus Sword Eyes lit up once more in his eyes.

Two crimson sword lights suddenly shot out from Gu Qing's shoulders and collided with the claw shadow of the poisonous dragon.

"Put me down!"

"Hmm, the way you're frantically digging holes underground is actually quite amusing..."

"If you have the chance, dig a hole back to the surface yourselves. That poisonous dragon won't let us leave."

"One of us must die, me or it."

Suddenly, Gu Qing heard the voice of a woman in red. Her long hair fell around Gu Qing's neck, emitting a faint fragrance like orchids.

"Are you confident you can kill this venomous dragon?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing put down the woman in red on his back, examined her closely, and found that the wound on her shoulder had healed. He then asked her a question.

"I'm not sure!"

That's why I told you to dig your own tunnel and leave; every person who can leave is one less.

The woman in red, feeling the little spiritual energy she had recovered, said calmly.

"I have a treasure that might be able to kill this venomous dragon."

"But there's only one chance to make a call."

"If you can hold the venomous dragon in place for even a moment, preventing it from moving, perhaps we can both survive and escape unscathed."

Standing beside the woman in red, I could feel the undisguised killing intent emanating from the venomous dragon.

Gu Qing understood that if the woman in red died here, he would definitely be targeted by this venomous dragon in the next few days.

Can Gu Qing survive the pursuit of the poisonous dragon all by himself?

It's highly unlikely.

Therefore, Gu Qingcai chose to continue cooperating with the woman in red to kill the poisonous dragon.

Upon hearing this, the woman in red looked at Gu Qing in surprise, not expecting that Gu Qinghai had a trump card up his sleeve.

"The magic weapon I used before was called the Dragon Binding Rope, which is extremely effective against dragon-type creatures."

"I will use all the spiritual power in my body to activate the Dragon Binding Rope and imprison it for a moment."

"I hope you can seize this opportunity!"

The woman in red originally intended to use the limited spiritual power within her to activate the Crimson Lotus Sword Eye, stalling for time with the poisonous dragon and looking for an opportunity in the fierce battle.

but.

Thinking about being in an underground tunnel,

Gu Qing carried her on his back and fled for half an hour; Gu Qing's will to survive was extremely strong.

The woman in red decided to trust Gu Qing this once.

After exchanging words, Gu Qing stood behind the woman in red and took out his natal flying sword, which was formed from the bitter bamboo of the Sword Realm.

"This time, it's all up to you."

An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for a single moment.

The natal flying sword, formed from the bitter bamboo of the Sword Realm, evolved from white jade bitter bamboo into purple jade bitter bamboo.

It consumes a lot of resources.

The natal flying sword, nurturing its natal sword energy, has undergone two transformations and is now displaying its brilliance.

Gu Qing focused his mind and waited for the right opportunity.

next moment.

The woman in red poured all her spiritual power into the Dragon-Binding Rope, and the magical artifact transformed into a streak of black light and shot away.

The Dragon-Binding Rope was tied back to the poisonous dragon, and the rope, infused with a large amount of spiritual power, continued to grow longer.

In a fit of shock and rage, the venomous dragon was completely bound.

Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Gu Qing's eyes.

"Now!!"

In an instant.

Gu Qing became one with his sword, transforming into a streak of emerald green sword light that swept across the lava sea.

Gu Qing's spiritual energy poured into his natal flying sword like a surging river.

The sword light that Gu Qing had transformed into became even more dazzling.

The woman in red controlled the dragon-binding rope to suppress the venomous dragon while observing Gu Qing's movements.

When Gu Qing approached the Poisonous Dragon within 300 meters, even though Gu Qing's sword light was powerful, its intensity was still only at the level of the eighth stage of Foundation Establishment.

This scene.

The woman in red was almost driven to the brink of madness.

As the Poison Dragon looked at Gu Qing's imposing sword light, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"Hahaha……"

"Laughable insect, your sword light is not even enough to tickle me."

"Waste is waste."

As Gu Qing's sword light approached, the Poisonous Dragon's rampant laughter shook the lava sea, causing towering waves to surge.

Its aura grew stronger and stronger.

The muscles and bones on the venomous dragon's body trembled, causing the pressure transmitted through the dragon-binding rope to increase.

The woman in red was rapidly depleting her spiritual energy, and she couldn't help but shout a warning:

"Use the secret treasure quickly, it's about to break free of its restraints."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing's expression hardened.

Unleashing his full spiritual power, he unleashed a sword beam, slashing at the fatal weakness protected by the Poison Dragon's reverse scale.

"bite--"

Gu Qing unleashed a sword light nearly a hundred meters long. When the very tip of the sword light struck the Poisonous Dragon's Reverse Scale, it instantly disintegrated into countless sword energies.

"A lowly insect, overestimating its own abilities."

"Get me out of here..."

"Um?!"

The venomous dragon stared at Gu Qing as he slashed at its reverse scale, only to see that Gu Qing's sword light could not break through the dragon scale's defense and instantly collapsed.

The venomous dragon grinned and spoke sarcastically.

But the next moment.

When the hundred-meter-long emerald green sword light collapsed to twenty meters, a transparent sword aura, only about ten meters long, was mixed in. However, it ignored the poisonous dragon's reverse scale defense, cut through the reverse scale, and left a sword mark as thin as a cicada's wing.

"You insect..."

The venomous dragon's expression changed slightly.

It mobilized its spiritual power to defend against the strange sword light that had invaded its body.

But they discovered that the transparent sword light was somewhere between reality and illusion.

The transparent sword light could pierce through its defenses, and the venomous dragon's spiritual power, though wanting to retaliate, could only watch helplessly.

That transparent sword light almost never clashed with any of the poisonous dragon's techniques.

"What kind of sword light is that?"

"Snap!!"

The dragon ball hidden behind the reverse scale emitted a cracking sound.
