Liu Xiaoli and Shisan said, "It seems to be afraid of the Red Lotus of Hellfire. But, it seems to be eager to try!"
Yun Shisan gave it some thought and said, "This should be the difference between a living creature and an inanimate object. This Demon Dragon has flesh and blood, so it is normal for it to have such a mentality. It is not like those Demons that are formed from the Heavenly Demon Aura. They do not have any thoughts and only act based on instinct. In their instincts, they are afraid of the Hellfire. That is why they ran when they sensed it from afar."
The Demon Dragon stared at the Red Lotus of Hellfire for a long time. Perhaps it was only now that it noticed the people on the Red Lotus of Hellfire. It raised its giant dragon head and stared at them with its lantern-sized red eyes.
The Demon Dragon scanned the crowd and finally stopped at He Yuanhong.
It could sense that this person was dangerous and could pose a great threat to it.
When He Yuanhong saw the Demon Dragon looking at him, he did not mind. Instead, he looked at the Demon Dragon and said, "You are a living creature here?"
While He Yuanhong did not pay too much attention to the Demon Dragon, he did not dare to be careless. The Xuan Force in his body surged and gathered in his longsword.
As an experienced cultivator, he knew very well that he could never underestimate his opponent. In this world, countless cultivators had lost their lives because they underestimated their enemies.
"Roar …"
He did not know if the Demon Dragon could understand him, but its response was to spit out a dark green Dragon's Breath.
The Dragon's Breath was like a sharp sword as it shot toward the crowd.
There was a poisonous miasma on the Dragon's Breath. The Demon Dragon was extremely poisonous.
Before it transformed into a dragon, it must have been a poisonous snake. Its poison was so powerful that it could even corrode the Infernal Miasma.
When He Yuanhong saw the Demon Dragon attacking, he did not say anything and simply raised his longsword.
However, after he raised his longsword, He Yuanhong yelled at Li Xiaoyao, "Xuan Energy Shield!"
Li Xiaoyao understood. He held his longsword in one hand and formed a gesture with his other hand. A surge of Xuan Force burst out from his fingers and instantly covered the entire Red Lotus of Hellfire along with everyone else.
At this time, He Yuanhong slashed out with his longsword. A majestic sword ray shot out from his longsword toward the Dragon's Breath.
"Pfft ~"
The sharp sword-light was like a huge saber, meeting the dragon's breath head-on, directly splitting it in half.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
The Dragon's Breath, which was split into two, shot past the two sides of the Fiery Red Lotus. Some of the Dragon's Breath landed on Li Xiaoyao's barrier.
"Zi zi zi …"
The dragon breath scattered on the barrier emitted black smoke. The dragon breath dissipated, but it also corroded the barrier.
"What a powerful poison!"
Everyone's eyes focused. Li Xiao Yao was an Earthly Immortal at the Yin Spring Stage, so the barrier he created would naturally not be weak. Even He Yuanhong's casual sword strike would not be able to break it.
However, the poison contained in the dragon's breath had actually corroded his barrier. The poison was so strong that ordinary cultivators would probably die upon contact with it.
He Yuanhong looked at the corroded barrier and said in a deep voice, "It seems that because of the Demonic Energy here, its poison has mutated as well. Don't touch the poison. Be careful and continue to maintain the barrier. I will take care of the dragon first."
With that said, He Yuanhong leaped out. Yun Shisan looked at the corroded areas on the barrier. The poison was so powerful. If this continued, Li Xiaoyao's barrier would not be able to hold for long and there would be a hole.
Jian San also noticed this problem. He frowned and said to Li Xiaoyao, "You maintain the barrier first. I will create a barrier from it. Then, you can disperse the barrier."
"I'm afraid it won't work. Even if you cast out a barrier, the poison won't even touch your barrier. The poison will corrode your barrier. This poison is extremely sensitive to profound energy and spiritual energy!"
Li Xiaoyao could already feel that the poison was spreading toward the source of the barrier. In other words, it was coming toward him through the Xuan Energy. If this continued, it would not be long before the poison would corrode his body through the Xuan Energy.
At this time, Yun Shisan had an idea. He controlled a cluster of Flames of Karma and landed it on the corroded barrier.
"Sizzle sizzle ~"
When the Flames of Karma landed on the corroded area, there was a sizzling sound.
The sound attracted everyone's attention. They looked at the area that was burned by the Flames of Karma and saw that the corroded area had already disappeared. Under the circulation of the barrier's Xuan Energy, the corroded barrier was instantly repaired.
Liu Xiaoli, who was in his arms, said happily, "That's great. Shisan, your Flames of Karma can burn this poison. Now, there won't be any problems."
Yun Shisan did not respond. He controlled the Flames of Karma and covered the entire barrier. At this time, it was as if everyone was surrounded by a huge fireball. The fireball kept on giving out sizzling sounds.
Not long after, the poison on the barrier was completely burned away by the Flames of Karma. There was no trace of it left and the barrier returned to normal.
"Roar ~"
At this time, He Yuanhong and the Mo Dragon were fighting intensely. The Mo Dragon's entire body was revealed. There were already several wounds on its huge body.
Some of its scales were broken, and some had already fallen off. The dragon's body kept on rolling in the air.
Obviously, even though the Mo Dragon was strong, he was still at a disadvantage in front of He Yuanhong who was at the Nether Spring Realm. He was constantly being suppressed. The mournful dragon's roar kept on echoing in this small space.
"Bastard, hmph ~"
He Yuanhong snorted coldly. She shook the longsword in her hand and slashed at the Mo Dragon's neck.
Yun Shisan did not see the old man use any skills. However, this attack was not any weaker than a skill.
It was a simple sword strike, without the brilliance of a divine ability. However, each strike was comparable to a divine ability. This wasn't just a saying.
Even though skills could be comparable to a skill, there were still some differences between them.
Skills had powerful destructive power and could cause damage in a large area. However, if the skill was broken, there would still be a backlash to the user. The stronger the skill, the greater the backlash.
Unless it was a Natal Skill or a Natural Skill, a skill that was derived from the Taoist Foundation was also a Natal Skill.
However, for a skill like this, how much could a cultivator control? They still needed to learn other skills.
In this world, there was only one Yun Shisan. Other than his Qinglian Taoist Foundation, he also had eight Taoist Foundations from the Eight Gates Divine Killing. The skills that came with these Taoist Foundations were enough for him to use.
However, other cultivators couldn't do it. They could only rely on the divine abilities attached to their Dao foundation. The weaker ones didn't have any divine abilities attached to their Dao foundation. The better ones would have one or two divine abilities attached to their Dao foundation. A foundation item with three divine abilities was already a supreme treasure.
Under such circumstances, they needed to learn other skills. After all, there was no skill that could be used to dominate the world, unless the skill was extremely powerful.
However, if they were to learn other skills, they would run the risk of being countered by others. Unless their understanding of the Laws had reached a certain level, they would be able to avoid the backlash.
Skills were different. In some aspects, they were not as good as skills. However, their power could still be comparable to skills. That was how skills were made.
When it came to skills, no matter if they were countered or not, there was no need to worry about the backlash. If one was skilled in using skills, they could cast them faster than skills. Of course, that was generally the case. There were some who could cast their skills very quickly, one after another.
However, there were very few people like that. Not to mention, their Taoist Heart had to be at the Delicacy Realm to be able to do so.
In a flash, He Yuanhong and the Mo Dragon had already exchanged more than a hundred moves. At this time, the Mo Dragon seemed to have the intention to retreat.
"Roar ~"
The Mo Dragon roared and looked at He Yuanhong with hatred. He swung his tail and rolled in the air, causing the thick Mo Qi to become turbulent.
In the next moment, the Mo Dragon dove into the abyss below.
"You want to run?"
He Yuanhong flashed and moved in the air, quickly approaching the Mo Dragon.
At the same time, she swung the sword in her hand. As the sword light flashed, she slashed at the Mo Dragon's neck.
Clang ~
There was a sound of metal clashing as the sharp sword light landed on the Reverse Scale. The Reverse Scale that was as tough as metal was blasted open, and blood spurted out from the Mo Dragon's neck.
"Roar …"
The intense pain caused the Mo Dragon to let out a sorrowful cry as his body twisted in the air.
The Mo Dragon was severely injured and was furious. How dare this lowly human hurt him?
He glanced at the people on the Red Lotus from the corner of his eyes. He made up his mind and in the next moment, he swung his tail. It was like a huge sword that cut through the space and slashed at the Red Lotus.
At this time, everyone's attention was on the Mo Dragon. While they saw the dragon's tail coming, they did not expect that the Mo Dragon would choose to attack them while he was fighting with He Yuanhong.
While they did see the Mo Dragon's actions, the Mo Dragon's actions were too fast. It was as if the Mo Dragon had mastered the power of space. When he swung his tail, it had already landed on the Red Lotus.
"Rumble ~"
The Red Lotus was struck by the Mo Dragon. Yun Shisan could feel that the entire Red Lotus of Hellfire was shaking violently. He could not control it and it instantly exploded.
"Not good!"
Everyone exclaimed and hurriedly used the Imperial Flight Technique to stabilize their falling bodies.
However, just as they were about to use their Flight skill, there was a loud explosion in this small space. They saw the Mo Dragon's body explode.
A horrifying vibration caused the surrounding Infernal Miasma to be torn apart. Perhaps the Mo Dragon had also detonated the power of space, causing the entire space to shatter. A violent turbulence swept across the entire space. Everyone was swept away by the turbulence, and they had no idea where they were swept to.
Yun Shisan felt his head rumbling in the midst of the explosion. He felt a sharp pain and blankness. He felt that his brain was about to be shaken out of his body.
However, he still instinctively hugged Liu Xiaoli tightly in his arms.
Perhaps Liu Xiaoli had the same idea. Even if they were falling, she did not want to be separated from Yun Shisan. Not for anything else, but because they did not know where they were falling.
It would be even more dangerous if they were separated.
She was also hugging Yun Shisan tightly as they fell with the turbulence. They had no idea where they were swept to.
"Oh no, oh no. I don't know where we are being swept to!"
That was his last thought. Next, he felt an even more intense pain in his head, and then he lost consciousness.
Boom!
The two of them crashed into a lake, causing the lake water to splash up high. Pillars of water shot up into the sky.
