"Wanwan?"
Yan Zhao's eyes darkened, and his fingers trembled involuntarily.
He had been by Ning Yuwans side all the time. Although the mortal eye couldnt penetrate the "confrontation" between Ning Yuwan and the Dragon - Slaying Sword, he could feel the change in her aura.
Her expression had changed from indifference at first to solemnity.
Then he saw the trace of blood at the corner of Ning Yuwans mouth.
Yan Zhao panicked. He always knew that Ning Yuwans abilities were beyond his imagination, but what kind of terrifying existence could hurt her!
"Are you okay?"
Ning Yuwan met his anxious gaze and shook her head with a faint smile.
But the Dragon - Slaying Sword in her hand seemed not to let her be at peace. It suddenly shot out from her hand and flew towards the sky.
Even Yan Zhao saw this movement. His pupils dilated, and he immediately stood in front of Ning Yuwan.
He hugged Ning Yuwan into his arms with one hand. "Be careful!"
The Dragon - Slaying Sword attacked fiercely, and its target was still Ning Yuwan.
Just as its name implied, once it encountered a dragon, it would be filled with fighting spirit.
But it was just a sword without thought. Even though Yan Zhao was blocking in front of Ning Yuwan, it didn't intend to stop.
Instead, it became even more rapid, even trying to pierce through both of them.
Ning Yuwan raised her hand, and a faint barrier appeared above their heads.
She looked calm, but her mind was already in turmoil.
The Dragon - Slaying Sword was really domineering. With the help of the person in the dark, she was no match for it.
Especially the tip of her tail was burning hot, which seemed to verify the origin with the Dragon - Slaying Sword a thousand years ago.
"Ziyan, go inside first."
"I'll stay with you."
Yan Zhao reached out to wipe away the blood from Ning Yuwans lips, with deep worry hidden in his eyes.
He refused to go into the house, but the Dragon - Slaying Sword was coming on fiercely. Ning Yuwan was even more worried that he would get hurt.
"I'll be fine."
She still wanted to share the happy and carefree days with Yan Zhao in the future.
"Ziyan, I promise you'll see me intact when you wake up."
The sky was dark, with lightning and thunder.
The gentle smile enlarged in Yan Zhaos eyes. His eyelids suddenly became heavy. Before he fell into a deep sleep, he just grabbed Ning Yuwans sleeve and murmured, "Wife, I'll wait for you."
"Okay."
Ning Yuwan looked up. The Dragon - Slaying Sword was desperately slashing at the transparent barrier above her head. It was obvious that the barrier wouldn't last for half a cup of tea.
She sent Yan Zhao into the house and told A Da and the others to take care of him. After giving a few more instructions, she walked out again.
Outside the house.
The Dragon - Slaying Sword finally split open the protective barrier and slashed straight at Ning Yuwan.
The force was so fierce that Ning Yuwan only had time to condense her spiritual power to block it, but she was still forced to transform into a dragon form.
The huge golden dragon surged in the clouds, with a wound at the tip of its tail.
Unfortunately, her injured tail aroused the excitement of the Dragon - Slaying Sword, which seemed to want to leave deeper wounds on the dragon's body.
In the villa in Fang Mountain, there were not only Yan Zhao but also many young men in their prime.
The "confrontation" between the golden dragon and the Dragon - Slaying Sword would surely cause a great commotion.
With the Dragon - Slaying Sword pressing on behind, to avoid innocent people getting hurt, the golden dragon let out a soft roar and led the Dragon - Slaying Sword like two white lights, one in front and the other behind, leaving Fang Mountain.
In front, the golden dragon roared and swam forward.
Behind, the Dragon - Slaying Sword chased after relentlessly.
But the golden dragon had slept for a thousand years, and its spiritual power was not abundant. Compared with a thousand years ago, it was greatly reduced.
Coupled with the injury just caused by the sword intention of the Dragon - Slaying Sword, it finally gradually lost its strength and landed on an open ground.
The Dragon - Slaying Sword caught up and slashed out a cold light.
The golden dragon stretched out its claw to fight back, but was still knocked back several steps. It was obvious that it was exhausted.
The speed of the Dragon - Slaying Sword became even more violent. It slashed out another powerful sword, aiming straight at the golden dragon's forehead.
The dragon's body shifted a few inches, but was still hit on the tail by this sword.
A thousand years ago, the Dragon - Slaying Sword had split the tip of the golden dragon's tail, showing its extreme sharpness.
But now, the sword intention of the Dragon - Slaying Sword failed to split the dragon's tail again. It just cut off a piece of dragon scale severely.
It looked fierce, but compared with a thousand years ago, the difference was obvious.
The breaking of the dragon scale was still painful. The dragon let out a long roar, and its body trembled faintly.
But the Dragon - Slaying Sword was heartless and felt no pain.
It immediately slashed out another sword.
The golden dragon, with insufficient spiritual power, could only shift its body, trying to block the sword with another golden scale and was even prepared to endure the pain again.
"Clang!"
It was the sound of the sword energy colliding with a gong.
The pain did not come. The dragon's eyes opened from being slightly closed, and it found that a gong used for patrolling the night had blocked the Dragon - Slaying Sword.
The gong looked ordinary on the surface, but it could resist the Dragon - Slaying Sword and even gain the upper hand.
The golden dragon's mind gradually cleared: Was this person here to help her?
The owner of the gong looked weak, but the power of the gong in his hand was as steady as Mount Tai.
Seeing the golden dragon in a daze, he threw something out of his hand and shouted through gritted teeth, "Hurry up and get out of here!"
The dragon's claw caught the thing, glanced at the man again, then nodded gratefully and prepared to leave.
But in the sky, the red light that had once helped the Dragon - Slaying Sword blocked the way ahead, trying to stop the golden dragon.
Obviously, it wanted to keep the golden dragon here.
Unexpectedly, the owner of the gong threw out the gong mallet again. Although distracted, he managed to withstand the red light.
He even blew his beard and glared at the golden dragon and shouted, "If you don't leave, do you want to be chopped into dragon mince?"
Dragon mince?
The golden dragon trembled slightly. Its dragon claw even misplaced the thing in surprise and immediately surged into the clouds.
The red light wanted to intercept her again, but that mallet, which also seemed to be an ordinary object, steadily suppressed it.
It wasn't until the golden dragon completely disappeared into the sky that the resistance between the red light and the mallet gradually faded away.
The person in the dark didn't want to confront the old man and withdrew the red light and left.
Without the person in the dark and the red light, the Dragon - Slaying Sword didn't want to play alone either. The white light on the sword body flashed, and all the coldness was retracted.
"Disobedient!"
The old man knocked the gong mallet on the body of the Dragon - Slaying Sword. "You're not the real Dragon - Slaying Sword. Why be her enemy?"
The Dragon - Slaying Sword trembled in his hand, as if it disagreed with the old man's words.
But the old man squinted his eyes and knocked the sword a few more times. "You still dare to have an opinion? Since she could blow up your original form back then, aren't you afraid that she'll do it again when pushed to the limit?"
The tremor of the Dragon - Slaying Sword lessened a bit, as if it was afraid. But thinking of the wound on the tip of the golden dragon's tail, it immediately became full of fighting spirit.
After all, it had hurt that dragon a thousand years ago!
"You should be ashamed!"
"Clang!"
The old man struck the gong beside the Dragon - Slaying Sword. "You've spent so much effort just to hurt her tail. Your original form and your helper were both blown to death, but she just slept for a thousand years. Calculate and see who's at a greater loss?"
The Dragon - Slaying Sword couldn't tell the difference between loss and victory and was about to make a fuss again.
But the old man slammed it hard on the ground. "If you make any more noise, next time I'll learn from that golden dragon and blow you up."
Only then did the Dragon - Slaying Sword weakly stop its movement and pretend to be oblivious.
The old man let out a soft laugh, put the Dragon - Slaying Sword back behind him, and then looked up at the sky.
It was unclear whether he was looking in the direction where the golden dragon had left or the place where the red light had disappeared.
He struck the gong one more time, then slowly took out a water bag from his waist and drank it as heartily as if it were wine. "From now on, there'll be a lot to do!"
