"If Xie Yun lives for another two hundred years, she'll be this big," Yin Kaiyang mocked.
Shan Chao was speechless.
Yin Kaiyang pointed forward and said, "The Green Dragon Clan has many different branches. The Green Dragon in front of you is from the same clan as Xie Yun. It has been guarding Luoyang since the end of the Sui Dynasty.
It will only obey the person who has the Seven Stars. The rest of the invaders will be beheaded. "
The dragon head in the distance slowly rose up. Its huge body moved, creating a strong gust of wind in the sky. Even the clouds in the night sky started to spin rapidly.
However, the most terrifying thing was that when the dragon's body crossed the plains to attack, its deep eyes were actually staring straight at Dan Chao, without the slightest bit of deviation!
"… It can recognize me?!" Shan Chao was shocked.
The dragon opened its bloody mouth and pounced down!
A hurricane swept across the battlefield. In an instant, everyone was thrown off their feet. The tens of thousands of torches were extinguished at the same time. The plains were instantly plunged into boundless darkness.
The soldiers cried out in fear, but no one could see the huge dragon that was coming. They could only hear a clear roar that pierced through the wilderness coming from above their heads!
Boom!
The dragon head came down from above. In the nick of time, Xuanwu tattoos flashed with white light all over Yin Kaiyang's body. Then, he transformed into a huge Xuanwu and rushed forward to support Shan Chao. He flew up into the sky through the gaps between the dragon scales!
"It can recognize you," Yin Kaiyang's cold voice sounded in his ears. "Because it can recognize the person who has the Seven Stars Technique."
Shan Chao grabbed the imperial sword by his waist. Then, he realized something and let go of it. The muscles on his back tightened, causing the spring in the White Shark Sword's scabbard to spring up. The Seven Stars Long Yuan was unsheathed!
The dragon twisted its body under its feet and rushed towards the Xuanwu with a roar. In an instant, it was right in front of Shan Chao.
— — At the moment when the two of them clashed, Shan Chao gripped the hilt of the Long Yuan Sword. The seven stars lit up one by one, and he slashed the Green Dragon heavily!
Invisible blood gushed out from the dragon's neck. It was yellow and salty, as if it was raining heavily from the sky.
"What if Xie Yun —!" Shan Chao roared, "What if Xie Yun knows that I killed her relative?!"
Yin Kaiyang said impatiently, "Do you really have to tell him?
Let's talk about it after we win! "
The dragon was infuriated. Its sharp golden dragon claws slammed down on Xuanwu's face, slamming them into the ground in an instant!
The air was filled with dust and crushed stones. Dan Chao used the Dragon Abyss with both of his hands to block the dragon claws that were right in front of him, and pressed the sword down inch by inch towards his own forehead.
Xuanwu, who was pressed into the ground by the huge force, couldn't stop struggling. At this moment, the Big Dipper on the sword shone brightly again. The sword cut through the dragon's scales like a knife cutting through tofu, and split the dragon's claws into two at lightning speed!
The Green Dragon was in extreme pain. It let out a resounding roar and flew up into the sky!
The huge battlefield suddenly turned into an iron pot that was being stir-fried over a stove. Soldiers, horses, and supplies were all mixed up into a mess. As the dragon rolled up and down, the battlefield was filled with corpses and remains of unrecognizable shapes.
Xuanwu stood up shakily and flew up into the sky with a long roar.
Shan Chao saw that its tortoiseshell had been shattered into countless small pieces. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ridicule, "You seem to be quite good at dealing with Xie Yun, but you can't do much against an adult Green Dragon, right?"
Yin Kaiyang sneered, "Ignorant fool." Then he pretended not to hear and refused to say another word.
They flew up into the sky and saw that not far away, the Green Dragon had lost one of its claws. It was curled up in pain. Its pupils shrunk to the size of a sharp needle as it stared at Shan Chao.
There seemed to be fear in its eyes, but more than that, there was anger. Its body swayed slightly from side to side. Suddenly, it turned around and swam towards Luoyang.
What was it planning to do?
His intuition, which had been cultivated for many years on the battlefield, suddenly tightened, but he was still one step too late.
Shan Chao turned around and held his sword horizontally. His arm was not strong enough, and the dragon's huge barbed tail sent him flying!
This time, even Xuanwu couldn't save him in time. Shan Chao was like a kite with a broken string. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into the wasteland where the fierce battle was taking place.
Halberds were densely packed. The hooves of the horses trampled past him, and the boiling ground shook beneath him.
Large amounts of blood gushed out of Shan Chao's nose and throat. He gritted his teeth and picked up his sword. His eyes were unfocused as he saw a black shadow falling from the sky.
"Boom!"
With him as the center, all the soldiers and horses within a radius of ten feet were sent flying backwards. The Green Dragon smashed into the ground amidst the huge tremor.
Shan Chao got up and ran madly. The Green Dragon followed closely behind, crushing everything in its path. Then, it raised its head high and formed a standard prelude to an attack. Then, it plunged down!
At that moment, time seemed to be stretched infinitely.
Shan Chao twisted his body and swung his arm. Long Yuan swept out with all his might, and the Seven Stars exploded into a fan-shaped curtain of light.
It was as dazzling as the Milky Way. Thousands of air blades rolled up by the sword collided with the giant dragon at the same time, breaking several dragon fangs!
The Sword Qi shook the constellation. The North Star suddenly shone brightly in the sky of the wilderness.
At the same time, thousands of miles away, in the Daming Palace of Chang An, Queen Wu suddenly raised her head.
The Tai-Ah Sword was hanging on the wall of the palace. At this moment, it was vibrating in its scabbard.
"..."
Queen Wu got up and quickly walked through the hall and opened the palace door.
In the midsummer night sky, the stars twinkled. In the northern sky, the constellation of Bull and Bull was facing the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Tang Empire, emitting a blazing purple light.
— — The flames of Bull, the Thunder Dragon Shuttle.
Queen Wu gritted her teeth and said word by word with a slight tremble, "Dragon, Abyss..."
The huge rock-like dragon fangs fell to the ground. The Green Dragon let out a crazy roar. Bathed in the yellow dragon blood, it soared into the sky and then dived straight down!
This crash was enough to turn the mountain rocks into dust. No one could survive under such a terrifying impact.
And the sword strike just now had exhausted all of Shan Chao's strength. He knelt on the ground with one knee, supported his body with the purple sword. He breathed heavily, swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva, and closed his eyes — —
Just as he was about to resign himself to fate.
The light red ribbon that had been wrapped around the hand holding the Long Yuan for many years suddenly dispersed. It floated to the sky with the wind and blocked the Green Dragon's path.
The ribbon slowly fell, and under Dan Chao's indescribable gaze, it landed on his open palm.
"Huff... huff..."
The Green Dragon stared at the man in front of it who was bathed in blood and gasping for breath. It seemed that it could not understand why there was a trace of the aura of its kind lingering around this man.
It panted anxiously, anxiously, angrily, and doubtfully. Its eyes moved back and forth between the man and the shining Long Yuan in his hand.
After an unknown amount of time, the Green Dragon finally raised its head and roared. It immediately lowered its head.
At that moment, it finally transformed into its original form in the wilderness.
Tens of thousands of soldiers were stunned. At the same time, they witnessed the miracle of the appearance of the Green Dragon. Countless weapons fell to the ground. The crowd knelt down in droves and kowtowed desperately. The sound of "Long Live" echoed throughout the mountains and plains.
"The arrival of the Purple Star, stepping on the Seven Stars, it has acknowledged you." Yin Kaiyang had transformed into a human and said softly behind him.
Shan Chao breathed out a bloody breath. He saw the dragon gently touch the ground in front of him and then immediately swam forward.
Yin Kaiyang poked Shan Chao and signaled for him to climb onto the dragon's body. Then, the giant dragon soared into the sky again. Under the focus of everyone on the battlefield, it carried Shan Chao and flew towards the city tower of Luoyang.
Li Jingye shook off the support and struggled to climb down from the stretcher. His eyes were wide open in shock.
At the end of the distant plain, Luoyang City made a loud noise.
The city wall collapsed.
The city wall, which had been impregnable for hundreds of years, turned into ruins in an instant.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The bugle horn resounded through the wilderness. The 100,000 soldiers gathered into a torrent. The sky was filled with arrows and flames, covering the Eastern Capital Luoyang.
Shangyang Palace.
The ridges of the roof collapsed. Shan Chao stabbed his sword into the glazed roof and stood up.
He wiped the blood off his head and face. When he looked up, he saw the Green Dragon swimming and circling above him, sprinkling countless golden rays of light.
This was the highest point of the Eastern Capital Palace and also the top of the main hall of the current Emperor.
Shan Chao held the Long Yuan and stood facing the east. Even from a distance, he could clearly see the stars of the Big Dipper shining one by one in the deep night sky behind him as the Green Dragon danced in the sky.
"Roar!"
The dragon's roar shook the land of the Nine Prefectures. The Green Dragon took one last look at the capital under its feet, which it had guarded for hundreds of years and now had a new master. Without looking back, it soared into the sky and disappeared.
