"I have an idea." Bai Ling sat in front of Lu Linsheng and slowly opened her mouth, exhaling a glowing dragon pearl.
Every dragon has its own dragon pearl. This particular pearl didn't belong to Bai Ling, but to her father, the leader of the White Dragon Clan. Although adult dragons can summon wind and rain and roar across the world, young dragons, despite their strong bodies, don't have many self-protection abilities. This dragon pearl was like a protective charm left by her father, which had once protected Bai Ling from an attack by a fox demon.
In recent years, Bai Ling had lived a peaceful life without encountering any danger, so this dragon pearl had been resting quietly inside her body.
"I felt that the impact just now was extraordinary. If we put in more effort, it's very likely we can break through the barrier. We need an instantaneous burst of powerful attack." Bai Ling touched the dragon pearl, her expression determined. "I'm going to activate all the remaining power in this dragon pearl and work with you to open this broken box's lid!"
If this still doesn't work, then they won't be able to get out and will have to spend their lives in here.
"When I get out, I want to see who exactly locked us in here!" Bai Ling rubbed her fists.
...
The Demon Dragon suppressed by the East Sea had attacked Mount Youfu. Even though he had been suppressed for many years and no longer had his former might, he was still the Dragon God, the deity worshipped by the entire dragon race. In his current weakened state, he could still easily stir up wind and rain, beating the Mount Youfu's immortal attendants and disciples until they were in disarray.
Before the arrival of the Supreme God Xuan Cang, the roaring Demon Dragon in the clouds had already taken down a large group of white-robed beauties from Mount Youfu, dropping them into the sea below the mountain like dumplings. He also shattered a corner of Mount Youfu's barrier, his thick and huge dragon body swelling dozens of times, coiling around the small immortal islands surrounding Mount Youfu, shaking apart a section of the exquisite buildings on the mountain.
The white figure that rushed out from the temple was small in stature. When he flew into mid-air, he suddenly let out a dragon roar and also transformed into his original dragon form.
The Supreme God Xuan Cang was a black dragon, while the Demon Dragon, when he was still the Dragon God, was a golden dragon. After becoming a Demon Dragon, he was eroded into a black dragon, but this black was different from Supreme God Xuan Cang's.
Supreme God Xuan Cang's black scales were exceptionally beautiful, with a mottled luster under the sunlight, the so-called 'colorful black'. The Demon Dragon's current black was like spilled ink, almost impenetrable to any light.
These two black dragons that looked roughly the same size from the outside collided thunderously in the sky, shattering the entire barrier of Mount Youfu, emitting several huge booms that knocked out some junior disciples on the spot.
Seeing Supreme God Xuan Cang who was also from the dragon race, the Demon Dragon showed no friendliness towards his fellow kin. On the contrary, his pair of jet-black dragon eyes were filled with brutality and hatred. He had been like this since he turned into a Demon Dragon, having an inexplicable resentment towards the dragon race. Any dragon he encountered would perish under his claws.
The Demon Dragon had come because he smelled the familiar scent of the White Dragon Clan, as he had been suppressed in the East Sea where the White Dragon Clan resided for many years, making him very sensitive to their scent. Of course, besides the white dragons, the black dragon Supreme God Xuan Cang was also one of his enemies.
The stronger he sensed the enemy's aura, the more belligerent and furious the Demon Dragon became. His crazed state left even Supreme God Xuan Cang temporarily unable to handle him, forcing him to retreat several steps in succession.
But Supreme God Xuan Cang was a Supreme God for a reason. He quickly turned the situation around, going from being at a slight disadvantage to being evenly matched, and then occasionally able to suppress the Demon Dragon, driving him out of Mount Youfu.
The two dragons changed battlegrounds, engaging in the distant horizon's cloud layers. None of the disciples and immortal attendants on Mount Youfu dared to approach, only able to watch the dragon bodies exposed in the clouds with reverent gazes.
Both were black, almost indistinguishable in the dark clouds. Only the occasional lightning flashing in the clouds could illuminate the two battling black dragons for a moment, allowing people to clearly see the state of the battle.
Just as the Demon Dragon and Supreme God Xuan Cang were locked in a stalemate, a thunderous boom also sounded from inside Supreme God Xuan Cang's temple. The small cauldron originally floating in front of the Supreme God's seat suddenly exploded, and two people appeared in the temple - a blood-soaked Bai Ling and a completely black Demon Lu Linsheng.
The immortal attendants guarding here were startled by this loud noise. Before they could send out a message, they were unfortunately pressed down by a large pile of demon corpses.
Because the cauldron was destroyed, the unfinished mountain of demon corpses inside also erupted with it, scattering all over the temple, turning a solemn and pure temple into a bloody mess, practically becoming a slaughterhouse. The immortal attendant pressed by the demon corpses struggled to push them away with a face full of blood, desperately stopping Bai Ling and the other: "Stop! You are not allowed to leave this place!"
Obviously they had been locked up by the Supreme God. If they ran away, how would she explain it when the Supreme God returned? The immortal attendant tidied herself up, feeling apprehensive.
Bai Ling supported Lu Linsheng and looked around, asking that immortal attendant with a very bad expression, "Who are you? Are you the one who locked us up? And where is this place?"
The immortal attendant secretly lamented, hoping the Supreme God would return soon. She adopted a placating tone, attempting to stall for time, "This is Mount Youfu. You are very safe here now. It's best not to do anything unnecessary. The Supreme God brought you back for your own good. You are Bai Ling of the White Dragon Clan. All of us on Mount Youfu know of the Supreme God's favor towards you. You should also know that the Supreme God would not harm you.
"Right now, the Demon Dragon is outside, and the Supreme God has gone to resist that Demon Dragon for your sake. With such great kindness, how can you let the Supreme God down..."
According to what she said, after being locked up for so long, they still had to be grateful for that Supreme God's favor? Bai Ling cursed, "I'd be a fool to believe you! I knew it was that jinx who did this!"
Bai Ling looked left and right and asked Lu Linsheng, "Do you see my hammers anywhere?"
Just now, when they worked together to blast open that cauldron, her hammers were also blown away in the chaos. Lu Linsheng's black tentacle-like fingers pointed to the chair at the top of the temple.
Bai Ling took a look and found that one of her pair of hammers had smashed the Supreme God's seat, while the other was embedded in the jade wall behind it, knocking out an eye of the lifelike black dragon carved on it. She ran up, pulled out her hammer, and smashed the still-shouting immortal attendant who was trying to call for help, knocking her out and burying her in the demon corpse mountain.
"There's a commotion outside, the two old villains are fighting. Let's take this chance to leave this place quickly." Bai Ling wiped the blood from her head, squatting in front of Lu Linsheng with a nonchalant attitude. "How are you doing, can you still walk?"
Just now, Lu Linsheng had almost exhausted all his strength and could no longer transform back into human form. If Bai Ling wasn't here, he might have already lost control of his instincts and rushed out to devour all the flesh and blood he could see.
Seeing how exhausted he looked, Bai Ling simply pulled him up and hurried to escape before more people were attracted here.
When they ran out and took a look, the double-hammer warrior Bai Ling instantly deflated.
"Mount Youfu, this ghostly mountain, is really in the sky." Her voice was weak, not even daring to look at the clouds floating around.
Earlier, in that dark space, she could grit her teeth and try to fly, but now she was truly exhausted and her courage was all used up. Moreover, the current height was much more terrifying than before. The land couldn't even be seen, and looking down, there were only clouds and sky, as if jumping down would mean falling endlessly.
The cold sweat on her forehead flowed down along with the blood. Bai Ling looked at Lu Linsheng, "Or, you go first by yourself?" The red blood flowed towards her eyes, and she blinked and wiped it. Her entire body ached, and she felt extraordinarily dizzy, not knowing if it was due to losing too much blood or because using the Dragon Orb had drained the little spiritual power she had.
Since coming out, Lu Linsheng hadn't spoken. In response to Bai Ling's question, his reaction was to open up his chest - if that could be called a chest - and completely wrap Bai Ling inside.
This was the second time Bai Ling had been wrapped up by Lu Linsheng. Of course she wouldn't panic because of this, but she understood that Lu Linsheng was going to carry her and fly down from here.
She was so weak that her whole body was about to turn into a puddle, and she couldn't shout "no" at this life-or-death moment of escape. She could only cover her mouth to keep from vomiting. This was her most active cooperation.
They wanted to take the opportunity to escape while the people of Mount Youfu were all attracted by the battle in the sky, but obviously their escape journey would not be so easy. The Mount Youfu disciples who discovered the incident in the temple chased after them while shouting, like a swarm of buzzing bees. This group of disciples was quite formidable, temporarily trapping Lu Linsheng in a joint effort and making it impossible for him to break through the encirclement for a while.
As things got chaotic here, the Supreme God Xuan Cang who was fighting the Demon Dragon in the sky discovered the fire in his backyard. No longer in the mood to fight the Demon Dragon, he turned his head angrily, ready to kill Lu Linsheng to vent his anger first.
He flew out not far before the berserk Demon Dragon bit down on his tail. The Supreme God Xuan Cang let out an angry roar and flung the Demon Dragon away.
How could the Demon Dragon be willing to watch the enemy escape before his eyes? Unwilling to show weakness, he roared back and dragged his injury-covered body to chase after him. The Supreme God Xuan Cang also had many injuries on his body, but he didn't care about that.
Approaching Lu Linsheng below, he opened his mouth and spat out a blast of icy dragon's breath, freezing Lu Linsheng.
Lu Linsheng's entire body froze in an instant, his spread wings also wrapped in ice. In just two breaths, before the surrounding disciples could react, Lu Linsheng had already broken free from the ice seal and miraculously dodged the Supreme God Xuan Cang's strike, flying towards the sky.
As luck would have it, the Demon Dragon happened to follow, and upon smelling the White Dragon clan's aura on Lu Linsheng, he also madly attacked him. Lu Linsheng was surrounded by two giant dragons in a perilous situation.
The Supreme God Xuan Cang saw that Bai Ling was wrapped inside Lu Linsheng's body. He wanted to kill Lu Linsheng, but in light of the previous lesson, he didn't dare to kill Bai Ling, so his actions were inevitably restrained. The Demon Dragon, on the other hand, was determined to devour the last of the White Dragon clan and also wanted to take the opportunity to eat the Black Dragon Xuan Cang.
Of course, Lu Linsheng could go all out against these two, but there was ultimately a gap between them, and he couldn't deal with two powerful dragons.
The situation was both chaotic and in a subtle stalemate.
The Supreme God Xuan Cang quickly grew impatient. The Demon Dragon's meddling made everything uncontrollable, as if something in the dark was disrupting it all. He let out a long howl to the sky, and the cold around his body rapidly spread to the entire sky.
Mount Youfu instantly turned into a world of ice and snow, and at the same time, countless ice arrows pierced the Demon Dragon. The bone-chilling cold and sharp ice arrows could even penetrate the tough skin and scales of the dragon race. The Demon Dragon was heavily injured and finally retreated.
Although Lu Linsheng didn't directly take that overwhelming strike, he still couldn't dodge it completely and was grazed, with several ice arrows stuck in his wings, forming patches of frost flowers.
The Supreme God Xuan Cang's cold eyes looked down on this wretched monster with disdain, and he said coldly, "Hand her over."
Lu Linsheng turned to fly away, but the Supreme God Xuan Cang struck him down with a claw, preparing to tear open his messy body and grab Bai Ling out. However, he never expected that when he knocked Lu Linsheng down in mid-air, the Demon Dragon that had already left would suddenly reappear out of nowhere, rushing out from the bottom of the clouds and swallowing Lu Linsheng along with Bai Ling in one bite.
"Seeking death!" The Supreme God Xuan Cang was truly enraged now. He rushed over and left a large bloody hole on the Demon Dragon's body. Blood splattered everywhere in the air, dyeing the falling white snow in this part of the world red.
Bai Ling was eaten right before his eyes, which meant he would lose this world again. How could the Supreme God Xuan Cang not be furious?
But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the Demon Dragon's body was twitching all over as he opened his mouth. His mouth was completely pried open by something black, those black threads intertwining like a person's struggling hands before death, pushing a small white figure out of the Demon Dragon's mouth.
Just as that white figure was pushed out and away from the Demon Dragon, the Demon Dragon angrily chewed up the struggling black monster in his mouth and swallowed him.
Author's Note: Alright, he got eaten again and can level up now.
