Although the dragon was a demon, it was exceptionally clever and always on guard against the presence of the old man with the cane. Whenever the old man with the cane was about to make a move, it would use dragon fire to burn the wooden net, not giving him any chance to get close to it.
As a result, only Nie Jian and the other two were left to deal with the dragon, and the situation immediately became a stalemate, with neither side having a good way to deal with the other.
Just then, a large number of figures suddenly appeared on the riverbank, each leaping over at top speed.
The moment this group appeared, they immediately caught the attention of Nie Jian and the others.
After Nie Jian clearly saw the appearance of the leader of this group, he immediately frowned.
He naturally recognized this group of people; they were remnants of the Golden Snake Party. The elderly men leading them, their faces covered in rouge and powder, were the four remaining leaders of the Golden Snake Party, all of whom possessed strength around the third rank.
Furthermore, these four individuals are masters of combined combat techniques, and once given the opportunity to demonstrate such skills, they should not be underestimated.
The Golden Snake Gang had missed the agreed-upon time to appear, and their sudden appearance gave Nie Jian a bad feeling.
Although the Golden Snake Gang has allied with the Black Heaven Gate, they have always acted in a despicable and shameless manner, and it is not surprising that they sometimes betray others.
Nie Jian glanced at Teng Shan and the old man with the cane and said, "Old Cao, Teng Shan, be careful."
"Protector Nie, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, we're late." A leader of the Golden Serpent Party stepped lightly on the ice and laughed loudly.
This person's lightness skill was extremely superb. With just a light step on the ground, he could levitate in the air for up to seven or eight breaths. As his body was suspended in the air, his cloak would flutter in the wind, making him look imposing and like a powerful local tyrant.
"Eunuch Yan, being late is not a good habit," Nie Jian sneered.
"I apologize, there were indeed some delays on the way, but Protector Nie, it shouldn't be too late for me to bring people back now, right?" Eunuch Yan glanced at the dragon that was confronting Nie Jian and the others, and a hint of fanaticism appeared in his eyes.
As the saying goes, every part of a dragon is a treasure, and finding a living dragon on ordinary days is extremely difficult.
But this time, a ready-made opportunity was presented to everyone.
"Let's do it."
As soon as Eunuch Yan shouted, the members of the Golden Snake Gang drew their swords and swarmed towards the dragon.
In an instant, the situation seemed to be under control. If the original plan had been followed, the two groups working together could have captured the dragon in less than half an incense stick's time and quickly taken it away from the place.
“Protector Nie, the strength your Black Heaven Sect sent this time is not very impressive. After so much time, you haven’t even scratched a single part of the dragon’s skin.” Eunuch Yan reached down and touched his waist.
He immediately drew a golden snake-shaped soft sword.
The sword has a soft, thin, and long blade, and the hilt is shaped like a coiled golden snake with two rubies for its eyes.
The blade extended from the mouth of this golden snake.
"I don't like hearing what Eunuch Yan said. Since you think my Black Heaven Sect is not strong enough, then let me see what kind of trouble your Golden Snake Party can stir up." Nie Jian stretched out his hands forward, and a powerful gust of wind pushed him backward.
Immediately, Elder Cao and Tengshan followed suit and retreated to the rear. In this way, the Golden Snake Party members were the first to approach the dragon and face the situation of being attacked by the dragon.
When Eunuch Yan and the others arrived, they had planned to take down the Black Heavenly Gate group after joining the battle. However, Nie Jian's sudden move completely disrupted their plans.
If the Golden Snake Party were to be in charge of dealing with the Flood Dragon, then who knows who might be the one to stab them in the back?
Eunuch Yan chuckled and said, “Protector Nie, this is not the way to do it. We’ve already dragged this out for too long. To save time, let’s capture the dragon together.”
While the two groups were talking, the dragon didn't tolerate them and let them chat without attacking.
Just as Eunuch Yan finished speaking, the dragon spat out a mouthful of water directly at the Golden Snake Gang.
Numerous tree-shaped lightning bolts erupted, striking the remaining members of the Golden Serpent Party.
Following the lightning came unexpected white dragonfire, catching everyone off guard.
This thunderous and fiery attack was extremely fierce, and several guards following the leader of the Golden Snake Party did not have time to dodge it.
The person convulsed instantly upon being struck by lightning and was immediately knocked unconscious. Judging from the situation, without timely treatment, death would be the only outcome.
Faced with the dragon's relentless spewing of thunder and fire, the four leaders of the Golden Snake Party were momentarily at a loss.
This battle was far more ferocious than the one Nie Jian and his men had just fought against the dragon.
"Damn it!" Eunuch Yan shouted angrily. He immediately took out his Golden Serpent Soft Sword and swiftly attacked the dragon. In an instant, he flicked his wrist, sending a flurry of sword flowers piercing the dragon's eyes.
No matter how powerful a creature is, its eyes are its most vulnerable part; if hit, its strength will be greatly reduced.
It will be much easier to deal with it then. Among the people from the Black Heaven Gate who came to capture the dragon this time, apart from Lu Changqing, Xue Feng, and that fourth-rank martial arts demon, the rest were all immortal cultivators. They didn't have a good way to get close to the dragon and hurt its weaknesses.
But Eunuch Yan was different; he had studied swordsmanship for over a hundred years, and his swordsmanship was fierce and sharp.
Furthermore, the Golden Snake Soft Sword in his hand is a heirloom of the Golden Snake Party. It was forged by a highly skilled blacksmith at the great expense of Eunuch Yin. Even a dragon would have to be wary of Eunuch Yan's sword power.
Facing the golden snake soft sword unleashing a barrage of sword light and shadows that rained down from above, the dragon fearlessly opened its mouth and spewed forth its sword.
Both men met Eunuch Yan's rain of swords with blazing dragon fire, their attacks displaying extraordinary power.
A few breaths later, the sword rain broke through the sea of fire, and then Eunuch Yan, alone with his sword, passed through the fire. A circle of Heavenly Gang Battle Body appeared around him, avoiding the damage brought by the dragon fire.
One sword!
The Golden Serpent Soft Sword, seemingly as soft as a rope, pierced straight into the dragon's eye. The dragon didn't even have time to react before half of the Golden Serpent Soft Sword had already sunk into its eyeball.
"Roar!" The pain in its eyes caused the dragon to roar repeatedly. It angrily shook its head, and its powerful strength burst forth instantly. Eunuch Yan was thrown high into the air. He didn't even have time to draw his Golden Serpent Soft Sword before he was thrown into the sky.
But thanks to his superb lightness skill, Eunuch Yan landed lightly without a single scratch on his body. Even his robe was brand new. His strength was outstanding, and Nie Jian couldn't help but nod in admiration.
"Father-in-law."
"Father-in-law."
The members of the Golden Snake Gang quickly surrounded Eunuch Yan and asked him anxiously.
"It's nothing." Eunuch Yan's expression was indifferent; he was simply looking intently at the dragon whose single eye was dripping blood.
The blood of a dragon has been an extremely precious material for tempering the body since ancient times.
Martial artists can use it to accelerate the tempering of their bodies, while ordinary people can drink it to strengthen their bodies, thus preventing all diseases and prolonging their lives.
Right now, the dragon's blood is cascading down the ground like a waterfall. If someone knowledgeable were to see this, they would surely feel a great pang of heartache.
This is all pure, golden gold!
On the market, a small spoonful of dragon blood is worth a thousand taels of gold, and it is still something that is priced but not available.
After all, even the weakest dragon can be the opponent of several third-rank experts. Ordinary forces might have the means to hunt dragons and sell them for money, but experts with that kind of strength would certainly not be short of money, so they would not do such a thankless task.
But no one dared to approach the dragon whose eyes were bleeding, because everyone knew that this was the moment when the dragon was most enraged, and its power would be unleashed to the fullest.
Anyone who steps forward to fight the dragon at this moment will face immense pressure and be in great danger.
Eunuch Yan looked at Nie Jian and said, "Protector Nie, my sword strike was quite good, wasn't it? Now is the time for our two families to join forces to capture the dragon. If we don't cooperate now, when will we ever get another chance?"
Nie Jian knew that he could no longer refuse Eunuch Yan at this point; if they dragged it out any longer, neither of them would be able to capture the dragon today.
“Alright, let’s get started,” Nie Jian said immediately.
With his permission, Elder Cao and Tengshan immediately took action, and the Golden Snake Party, with Eunuch Yan's approval, all rushed towards the dragon, ready to go all out.
Even if the dragon is strong, it will never be able to defeat so many third-rank experts at once. However, after its eyes were injured, the dragon's ferocity and wildness as a demon were fully unleashed.
No matter how many people there were from the Black Heaven Gate and the Golden Serpent Party, it was not afraid. It kept slapping its claws on the ice and then charged headlong into the Golden Serpent Party member who was closest to it.
Seeing this, the man turned to dodge, but the dragon swiftly swung its tail, slamming it into the target.
In just a moment, the Golden Serpent Gang was broken in half, splattering everywhere without a moment's respite.
The others' expressions changed upon seeing this. The power of the dragon-taming technique was already formidable, and with such terrifying physical strength, they would likely be unable to subdue the dragon today without paying a certain price.
[095] The Second Golden Hammer Appears
Despite the instant death of someone from the Golden Serpent Party, the three members of the Black Heaven Gate remained completely unfazed, and in fact, they were all somewhat gloating.
If the Golden Snake Gang had arrived at the agreed time, they wouldn't be in this predicament now.
Not only did the Black Heaven Gate lose several skilled fighters, but the Golden Serpent Gang will likely suffer many more deaths before they have a chance to capture the Flood Dragon.
After one of them had his waist broken by the dragon's tail, the rest of the Golden Snake Gang members became vigilant. Having witnessed their companion's tragic fate, they all became much more cautious and dared not reveal any weaknesses easily.
These people, like mosquitoes attacking an elephant, began to hover around the dragon, maintaining a position where the dragon could neither see them nor hit them with its tail.
The remaining three members of the Black Heaven Gate were all immortals, so they naturally wouldn't keep too close to the dragon. However, most of the Golden Serpent Gang members were martial artists, so getting close with their swords was essential if they wanted to launch an attack on the dragon.
In the heat of the moment, the dragon unleashed a burst of fire, which swept across the ice. A member of the Golden Snake Gang tried to dodge it with his light-footed skills, but the dragon fire suddenly erupted in a second burst, engulfing him in the sea of flames.
"what!!!"
A heart-wrenching roar echoed from within the white dragon fire. When the fire subsided, all that remained on the ground was a charred corpse whose features were completely unrecognizable.
Seeing this, the others felt a chill run down their spines, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
After its eyes were injured, the dragon's power increased dramatically. Under these circumstances, even if Eunuch Yan himself approached the dragon, he would have to be extremely cautious.
"Protector Nie, have your men block this dragon fire for us, then we can get close to the dragon and try to blind one of its eyes. Once it's blind, even the most powerful demon is just a blind fly, at our mercy!" Eunuch Yan shouted at Nie Jian.
In this situation, it is inevitable that the Black Heaven Gate and the Golden Snake Party will cooperate with each other; neither of them can afford to be lazy or hold back and have any ulterior motives.
Nie Jian immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Tengshan, do everything in your power to block all the dragon fire."
"Yes," Tengshan replied, making hand seals. Suddenly, ice pillars rose up from the ice around the dragon, constantly approaching it to compress its space until the area was restricted to a smaller and smaller size, leaving the dragon nowhere to hide.
At this moment, icy mist spread across the ice surface, attempting to freeze the dragon's limbs to the river, so that Eunuch Yan could approach the dragon more safely.
Tengshan had witnessed the dragon's ferocious power firsthand, and he naturally knew that his few ice pillars could not restrain the dragon's movements.
So when the ice pillars successfully trapped the dragon's body, Tengshan quickly made hand seals to create more ice pillars to trap the dragon's limbs and joints.
Faced with the control of Tengshan's magic, the dragon moved its body, and visible cracks instantly appeared on the ice pillar. It was only a matter of time before it broke completely.
However, the ice pillars that appeared later made up for this problem, so that no matter how much the dragon struggled, it could not escape the control of Tengshan for a short period of time.
Seeing this, Eunuch Yan was overjoyed. He snatched the sword from one of his men and flew towards the dragon with incredible speed.
Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Even though the dragon's body was immobile, its head could still move freely. It opened its mouth and unleashed a barrage of electric arcs at the approaching Eunuch Yan, all of which shot towards Eunuch Yan's location.
Eunuch Yan swung his sword and slashed, each arc of electricity that collided with the blade in his hand would burst into a dazzling display of sparks.
Protected by his Heavenly Divine Body, Eunuch Yan was unharmed, but he was getting closer and closer to the dragon.
"Beast." Eunuch Yan sneered, about to stab at the dragon's other surviving eye: "What kind of storm can you stir up if you blind both your eyes?"
Just as Eunuch Yan was about to strike again, the dragon quickly closed its eyes and used its eyelids to block the sword.
boom!
The sword shattered the moment it touched the dragon's eyelid; its material was far less durable than that of the dragon itself. It couldn't even pierce the dragon's eyelid, let alone blind it.
