Fairy, help me cultivate.

A sword aura burst forth in the sky, causing cracks to appear on the snake's body, from which blood gushed forth.

Clad in pure white cloud-scale armor, Chen Yao had already taken to mid-air and begun fighting with the dragon's entourage.

Qingming was startled.

Mingzhan was also surprised.

In their eyes, Chen Yao, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, was so powerful that he didn't seem like a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

"He is... a practitioner of both physical and magical arts..."

When Mingzhan remembered that Chen Yao was a body cultivator, her previously dead mind revived: "Ming'er, let's form an array to lock down these dragon accomplices for our young friend Chen Yao."

"But he's only at the Foundation Establishment stage; I'm afraid he won't be able to kill the Dragon's Lackeys..."

As soon as Qingming finished speaking, six silver beams descended from the sky, and six eight-foot-tall silver-armored deities crashed down along the beams of light, shattering the heads of the six most ferocious dragons, which then plunged into the water.

The waves rose high.

Qingming was dumbfounded: "This is..."

She remembered that Chen Yao had used the same technique to subdue everyone when he escaped last time.

However, this time his magic was even more powerful.

Six silver-armored deities flew out of the water and circled around Chen Yao, launching an attack on the dragon's entourage according to Chen Yao's will.

Mingzhan's eyes blazed with fervor: "Divine summoning magic! I never imagined this boy could communicate with the Heavenly Dao! Even so, he still can't handle those powerful dragon minions. Qingming, activate the formation!"

Qingming quickly took out the array flags and flew to Chen Yao's side with Mingzhan.

Chen Yao glanced at Ming Zhan, whose face was pale, took out the few remaining Nine-Sprout Pills from his storage bag, along with a bunch of Qi-restoring Pills and Minor Rejuvenation Pills that he had made in his spare time, and tossed them to the master and disciple.

"Fix it up."

"You're still an alchemist!"

The master and apprentice exclaimed in unison.

Even if you're not a master alchemist, not even the sect leader's illegitimate son would be so arrogant as to eat such a low-quality Lesser Rejuvenation Pill as a meal.

"coming!"

Chen Yao drew his sword to meet the attack. The glass-jade bone knife flashed white in the air before piercing the mouth of the biting dragon serpent.

With a flick of its tongue, the snake sent the glass bone knife flying backward with a "clang." The knife lost its connection with Chen Yao's mind and disappeared.

Chen Yao frowned and commanded four silver-armored deities to fight.

The giant snake's mouth snapped shut, and the god-man was swallowed whole.

In an instant, the snake's mouth was on top of Chen Yao's head, its sharp fangs like thick icicles piercing his back.

Even though he had cultivated his body to the point of tendon forging and his back had been strengthened, and although he wasn't pierced, he still felt excruciating pain.

He instinctively swung his enhanced fist, deflecting the snake's fangs. Just as the two fangs were about to mesh, he managed to dodge, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Mingzhan took a few Nine-Bud Pills and Qi-Returning Pills, and the medicinal effects began to take hold.

With a swift movement of her willow-leaf magic weapon, she slashed down the snake's fangs, and with a flick of her hand, unleashed a torrent of energy that pierced the snake's head.

The giant snake died.

More of the dragon's accomplices were enraged and suppressed.

At the bottom of the water, a giant white shadow lurked, watching intently.

Chapter 85 The True Dragon of the South China Sea

"Ming'er, recite the incantation!"

Mingzhan cried out urgently.

A gentle tea recipe.

Based on the trajectory of the emerald green willow leaves, swirling emerald green threads connected in the air, binding the pythons together.

"If we act quickly, we might be able to wipe out most of these dragon spies."

Mingzhan encouraged the two of them.

The formation's arrangement did indeed slow down the movements of those dragon minions considerably.

Chen Yao watched as the giant snake's head, which had just been slain by Green Leaf, fell into the pool, and only then did he realize the vast difference in strength between himself and Ming Zhan.

He saw that she was struggling to cope just now, and her magic and supernatural powers didn't seem to be very effective, but when he really compared them, he understood the true value of a Golden Core cultivator.

All I can say is that the power of these dragon foes is truly terrifying.

However, even if Chen Yao wanted to quit now, he no longer had the chance to escape.

Qingming maintained the array woven from willow leaves, while Chen Yao, led by Mingzhan, targeted and attacked the dragon's weaknesses.

Although they weren't always able to hit their target on the first strike, the two worked together quite well and gradually reaped most of the dragon's minions.

The remaining three were the strongest dragon companions, one of which had repeatedly driven Mingzhan to the brink of despair.

The offensive and defensive forces are at odds.

"Qingming, let's go!"

With fewer swarms of dragon stalkers blocking their way, the chances of escape have increased considerably.

Mingzhan and Chen Yao made a quick decision and took Qingming and shot straight into the sky.

A deep and terrifying roar came from the bottom of the pool, as if the entire Bibo Pool had been overturned.

A towering water peak rose up, its waters cascading down, revealing a massive, pure white dragon's body.

Its movements were extremely swift; the three people in the air did not see it clearly. The dragon's body plowed across the wide pool, crushing the enormous dragon cub, which looked like a cub in comparison, into pieces.

In the far distance, behind the curtain of rain, its tail of white shadow rapidly approached, causing the air to hum and vibrate, and the raindrops to shatter into mist.

Qingming couldn't withstand it and vomited blood and fainted.

Mingzhan rushed to catch her, but Bai Ying spotted her and knocked her into the water.

Chen Yao was left alone in the rain.

The white dragon's tail stopped a foot in front of him, but that was enough to block his escape route.

The water below rumbled, and another white shadow shot out. It was so huge that it was impossible to tell which part of it it was, and it went straight for Chen Yao.

Chen Yao felt a pang of despair and pressed two fingers together against his brow.

A sharp pain shot through my brow, and a red glow began to appear.

The white figure approached in an instant, and a gust of wind and water droplets slammed into his body, causing him excruciating pain.

However, apart from that, Chen Yao did not suffer any more severe attacks.

He composed himself, looked at the white figure in front of him, and was taken aback.

Yun Li!

Or rather, only the upper body is Yun Li, while the lower body is an endless, snow-white dragon body that grows thicker and thicker as it goes down, until it connects to the enormous, sky-covering dragon shadow.

What... what's going on?

Chen Yao recalled Yun Li's wrist, which had grown scales, at the inn.

I recalled the scarlet light that still flickers in my dantian.

She...she's not human?

"Senior Sister?"

Chen Yao released her fingers from between her eyebrows and asked tentatively.

Yun Li's figure is still as mature and beautiful as a magic gourd, and her small face is still cute.

However, the key parts were covered by fine and delicate scales, the thighs were fused together, and the body below became a dragon, with a pair of beautiful eyes that were pale and lifeless.

She frowned, her pale eyes staring blankly at Chen Yao.

Chen Yao tentatively reached out and touched Yun Li's face.

Yun Li's arm slammed down, slapping his hand away. Chen Yao's wrist throbbed with pain; if he hadn't strengthened his fist, his hand would probably have been shattered.

Before he could even react, Yun Li grabbed his throat, her face full of ferocity.

Chen Yao's face turned red. In his haste, he grabbed her waist tightly, ignoring the blood streaming down his arms from the scales on her back.

Yun Li was pulled into Chen Yao's arms, and the hands that were gripping his throat loosened considerably.

"Senior sister, what's wrong? It's me! Chen Yao!"

Chen Yao shouted in a hoarse voice.

A look of confusion appeared on Yun Li's small face, and her pale eyes revealed vertically elongated pupils.

She stared blankly at Chen Yao's face, as if trying to recognize him, or as if desperately trying to grasp at a fleeting memory.

Chen Yao felt that she needed an anchor to hold onto the consciousness that she had finally regained, so he leaned down and kissed her small mouth covered with tiny scales.

Yun Li's vertical pupils suddenly widened, staring wide and round like a cat's.

Unconsciously, she extended her tongue, allowing Chen Yao to kiss her to her heart's content.

The raging waters surged beneath the enormous, white dragon's body. Amidst the torrential rain and thunder, Chen Yao embraced the massive, half-human, half-dragon figure, and the two kissed passionately.

A thunderous roar echoed from the pool below, and the sky-covering dragon's body began to move, shrink, and slowly return to the length and size of Yun Li's human form.

The dragon claws, covered in scales, turned back to their strong, slender legs.

However, the scales on her body faded very slowly. Even after Chen Yao stuck out her tongue, a few small, white scales remained on the corners of her mouth.

It was covered in blood from Chen Yao's cut lip.

Yun Li regained her senses and leaned gently and weakly into Chen Yao's arms.

She struggled to raise her slender arm and gently wiped away the bloodstains from the wound on Chen Yao's lips: "Junior Brother..."

"Senior sister, what exactly happened?"

"It's...the Demonic Sect..."
