After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth, his spiritual power surged wildly, and he pushed the Nine Transformations of Illusion to its limit. His figure transformed into a wisp of green smoke, darting rapidly through this space.

Although the Beast Taming Garden is not small, it is ultimately an enclosed space.

The black dragon had lived here for countless years and knew the terrain like the back of its hand. Every attack it launched blocked Lin Fengmian's escape route.

After several chases, the distance between the two sides not only did not increase, but actually got closer and closer!

"Junior Brother Lin, this can't go on!"

Xiao Xiyue's face was pale, and her teeth were clenched.

She suddenly broke free from Lin Fengmian's hand, turned to face the black dragon, and made hand seals!

A burst of spiritual light condensed in her hand, transforming into a long sword that was entirely white!

The long sword had a slender blade and exuded a chilling aura. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees!

Second-tier low-grade spiritual weapon - Frost Moon Sword!

"go!"

Xiao Xiyue let out a delicate shout, and the Frost Moon Sword transformed into a white streak of light, shooting towards the Ink Dragon!

"bite--!"

The sword tip pierced the black dragon's scales, sending sparks flying!

But the scales were incredibly hard, and the Frost Moon Sword only left a shallow white mark on them!

The black dragon didn't even feel any pain; it just pounced even more ferociously!

"roar--!"

Xiao Xiyue's face turned even paler.

The gap is too big.

She was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while this black dragon was at the mid-stage of the second tier, with strength comparable to a cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

With that thick scale armor, her attacks couldn't break through her defenses at all!

As the black dragon drew closer and closer, her heart filled with anxiety.

finally--

She gritted her teeth, looked at Lin Fengmian, and a resolute glint flashed in her eyes:

"Junior Brother Lin, please put me down!"

Her voice was soft, yet firm:

"I'll hold it off, you go first!"

Lin Fengmian paused, then turned to look at her.

On that veiled face, only a pair of eyes were visible, but they were clear and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

A warm feeling welled up in Lin Fengmian's heart.

This woman is truly capable when it comes to getting things done.

This is a life-or-death situation, meant to buy him time to escape.

How could Lin Fengmian agree?

Regardless of the fact that Xiao Xiyue had been intimate with him, she was already his person in his heart.

Even disregarding this relationship, he couldn't bring himself to let a woman take the fall for him.

"no."

He shook his head, his tone resolute.

Xiao Xiyue became anxious: "But—"

"No buts."

Lin Fengmian suddenly stopped.

He turned around, facing the approaching black dragon, and took a deep breath.

Oh shit.

Since there's no way to escape—

Then we won't run anymore!

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and his aura suddenly changed!

Xiao Xiyue was stunned.

"Junior Brother Lin, you..."

Lin Fengmian didn't look at her, but stared intently at the raging black dragon, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Perfect, killing you, along with the one from the secret realm, will give me a complete set of soft armor."

He once killed a black dragon in the secret realm.

He kept the scales of that black dragon, thinking he would have someone forge a piece of armor for him someday.

Now another one is being delivered to our door—

It makes a perfect set!

Although the black dragon in front of us is much stronger than the one in the secret realm.

But he is no longer the Qi Refining stage cultivator he once was!

With the cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage, the physical body of a second-tier body cultivator, and the trump cards in his hand...

It's not impossible to fight!

Lin Fengmian knew in his heart that this battle had to be won quickly.

Although the Beast Taming Garden is closed, the commotion from this fight will eventually attract other cultivators.

Moreover, there may be more than just this one monster in this space.

If it attracts other things, then we'll be in trouble!

They must be killed as soon as possible!

With that in mind, Lin Fengmian no longer hesitated.

A thought flashed through his mind, and a burst of light appeared in his storage bag—

A talisman radiating an ancient and imposing aura appeared in his palm!

The talisman glowed with a faint golden light, and an ancient mirror was painted on it. Runes flowed across the mirror's surface, emanating a chilling aura!

Taixiao Mirror Talisman!

"In my true form, I beg Lord Taixiao to use your magical treasure!"

Lin Fengmian roared, and the talisman in his hand suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of golden light!

Amidst the golden light, an ancient bronze mirror slowly emerged!

The bronze mirror was about the size of a palm, with a smooth, water-like surface. As soon as it appeared, it exuded a suffocating pressure!

"Certainly!"

Lin Fengmian pointed out with one finger!

The Taixiao Mirror suddenly shone brightly!

A golden beam of light shot out from the mirror and instantly enveloped the massive body of the black dragon!

Mo Jiao's movements suddenly froze!

It remained in a pouncing posture, yet it seemed to be held down firmly by an invisible hand, unable to move!

A flash of shock and anger crossed those blood-red vertical pupils!

Lin Fengmian knew that this black dragon's cultivation was comparable to the late Foundation Establishment stage, and the Taixiao Mirror could not hold it for long.

Perhaps only three breaths, perhaps only two breaths—

But that's enough!

"Nine Yang Divine Seal - First Seal!"

Lin Fengmian raised his right hand, and a ball of extremely intense golden light suddenly condensed in his palm!

The golden light grew brighter and brighter, more and more intense, as if a small sun were rising in his palm!

The surrounding temperature suddenly soared, and the air itself seemed to distort from the heat!

"go!"

He roared and thrust out his right palm!

A burst of intense golden light shot out from his palm, rapidly expanding in mid-air and transforming into a massive golden palm print over ten feet in diameter!

The palm print was shimmering with golden light and surrounded by blazing flames, like a real sun descending from the sky!

The aura was extremely intense, and the surrounding spiritual wood was instantly ignited and turned to ashes!

The palm print slammed straight toward the head of the black dragon!

"boom--!"

The golden palm print slammed down on the head of the black dragon!

A burst of intense light exploded, and a wave of heat swept outwards like a tsunami!

The black dragon's scales began to melt under the high temperature, and the smell of burnt flesh filled the air!

"roar--!"

The black dragon let out a mournful roar!

It was stunned by the blow, and a plume of acrid black smoke spewed from its gaping maw!

but--

It's not dead yet!

The vitality of a second-tier monster is far beyond imagination!

Lin Fengmian's expression remained unchanged.

He knew that the Nine Yang Divine Seal alone was not enough to kill this beast.

"Ten Thousand Swords Technique!"

Lin Fengmian pointed his fingers like a sword at the black dragon!

Five streams of light shot into the sky from within his dantian!

Lesser Heavenly Dipper Sword! Shadow Sword! Golden Edge Sword! Plus two spirit swords obtained from the spoils—

Five flying swords hovered above their heads, their blades humming and their sword energy crisscrossing!

"go!"

Five flying swords shot out simultaneously, spinning rapidly in mid-air and transforming into five streaks of light!

Each flying sword released dozens of pure sword energies!

In the blink of an eye, countless sword energies poured down like a torrential rain, covering the sky and enveloping the black dragon!

"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"

A series of explosions rang out!

Countless sword energies struck the massive body of the black dragon, sparks flying and scales shattering!
