Boom…
A bewitching ray of divine light streaked across the void, erupting with intense energy fluctuations, its power astonishing.
Seven Fiends Ghost Mother had decisively made her move, intending to kill Ying Menglong on the spot.
The Di family had contacted her, promising immense benefits. This old hag, devoid of any principles, had directly defected.
Ying Menglong’s eyes held a mixture of panic and fury. Suppressing the effects of the poison, she retaliated.
She fully activated her bloodline power, her body surging with celestial light, blooming with a hazy radiance. Streams of dragon qi coiled around her, forming a shield to ward off the attack.
“Why resist? If you surrender obediently, I’ll grant you a dignified departure.”
Seven Fiends Ghost Mother sneered. Her claw-like hand suddenly grasped, runes appearing as rolling malevolent energy formed a storm, sweeping towards Ying Menglong.
Within the malevolent energy, specks of green light flickered like the eyes of malevolent spirits, emitting astonishing beams.
The entire valley was engulfed, instantly transforming into a death zone.
Ying Menglong’s expression was incredibly solemn. Her lips parted slightly, emitting waves of dragon roars. The sound waves, like tides, vibrated the void.
The energies of both sides collided, exploding in the air and erupting in brilliant light. The turbulent energy directly leveled the small valley.
“You still have the strength to resist?”
Seven Fiends Ghost Mother was utterly surprised.
The poison she administered to Ying Menglong was specifically designed for dragons, its dosage enough to fell an adult divine dragon. Yet, Ying Menglong still possessed astonishing combat power, far exceeding expectations.
“Perhaps this is the strength of a mother.”
Ying Menglong murmured, clearly also a bit taken aback.
She touched her belly, feeling as though the twins within had suppressed the poison.
“Mother my foot! Judging by your physique, you’re clearly still a maiden. How could you be pregnant?”
Seven Fiends Ghost Mother roared, refusing to believe Ying Menglong was pregnant.
She surmised that Ying Menglong must have obtained an incredible fortune on the 108th Peak, and the so-called pregnancy was merely a ruse to cover it up.
Honestly, a young maiden pretending to be pregnant, who were they trying to fool?
“Well… perhaps that heartless, irresponsible, dead scumbag was… too small.”
Ying Menglong wasn’t without her doubts, sensing something was amiss. However, Ji Mo had personally admitted to pricking her seven times, dispelling all her suspicions.
The only explanation was that the “needle man” lived up to his name.
Seven Fiends Ghost Mother was momentarily speechless.
She became even more convinced that Ying Menglong was trying to conceal something, using Ji Mo as a shield.
After all, it was widely rumored that the needle man was incredibly potent, having ravaged the Fourth General into a state of near collapse within a few days, making him tremble just walking.
“Hand over the treasure in your belly, and perhaps I’ll spare your life. The Di family is now mobilizing their entire clan to kill you. Numerous experts are already en route. Fleeing now still offers a sliver of hope.”
Seven Fiends Ghost Mother stared intently at Ying Menglong’s abdomen, believing the contents within were extraordinary.
Even Ying Menglong was willing to disregard her reputation to conceal it, fearing external knowledge. It was certain that it must be an exceptionally precious treasure.
“The Di family wants to kill me? Have they lost their minds? Aren’t they afraid of retaliation from my Ying Long clan, of their entire lineage being wiped out?”
Ying Menglong was quite surprised. She had already revealed her true identity. How did the Di family dare to lay hands on her?
Seven Fiends Ghost Mother relayed what she knew: “The Di family is emboldened, seemingly backed by someone of great influence. You are doomed. They will never let you leave the Immortal Spirit Realm alive. Why don’t you give me half of the treasure in your belly, and I’ll buy you some time to escape.”
Sensing that Ying Menglong was not easily subdued, the old hag changed her strategy, intending to force Ying Menglong to hand over a treasure.
“You dare covet my baby? You’re seeking death.”
Ying Menglong instantly erupted in fury.
In her eyes, nothing was more important than her unborn child. Now that Seven Fiends Ghost Mother was targeting her baby, it was unforgivable.
Following this, Seven Fiends Ghost Mother finally witnessed the terror of a berserk mother Ying Long.
Ying Menglong opened her mouth and let out a clear cry, her raven hair flying. Her body radiated brilliant divine light, and surging dragon qi spewed forth. Her formidable vital energy churned like a river.
Simultaneously, her abdomen also shimmered with a hazy glow, as mysterious power flowed, empowering her.
Ying Menglong’s eyes blazed with divine light, and a colossal dragon-shaped phantom appeared behind her, endless power surging as she launched a frenzied assault.
Her attacks stirred up tidal waves of energy. Her immortal power surged, and various dragon clan ultimate techniques were unleashed. Streams of dragon shadows danced, and destructive power erupted consecutively, forcing Seven Fiends Ghost Mother to retreat steadily.
“Finally dropping the act! You’re clearly hiding something extraordinary in your belly.”
Seven Fiends Ghost Mother shrieked, blood trickling from her body, becoming even more certain that Ying Menglong possessed a great treasure.
She resisted with all her might but was still no match. She suffered continuous attacks, coughing up blood repeatedly, her old face pale and utterly disheveled.
Ying Menglong’s body felt scorching hot, her blood surging like a mighty river, emitting rumbling sounds. She felt her bloodline gradually strengthening, her bones and flesh glowing, with unknown energy breeding within.
Moreover, it seemed as though something was about to break free from her body, causing her immense discomfort.
“Hmph…”
Her body suddenly trembled, her abdomen churning violently. Those two powerful life essences seemed poised to burst forth.
“No way, giving birth at this moment?”
Ying Menglong was dumbfounded, feeling something was terribly wrong.
Her condition suddenly deteriorated drastically. Her internal power surged chaotically, her body flickered erratically, and her light gradually dimmed.
“I can’t hold on anymore. I need to find a safe place to hide quickly.”
Ying Menglong’s expression turned extremely panicked. Although she could quickly kill Seven Fiends Ghost Mother, she had to decisively abandon the fight and flee.
Nowhere was safe. She didn’t know when the Di family’s experts would appear. She couldn’t just sit and wait to be trapped like a turtle in a jar.
After a moment of contemplation while looking up at the sky, she made up her mind. She soared upwards, heading straight for the spatial passage leading to the 109th Peak.
“Look quickly, someone else is fearlessly attempting a forced passage!”
“It’s Ying Menglong, a pure-blooded dragon. Is she going to her death willingly?”
“So what if she’s a true dragon? She hasn’t grown to the divine level yet. She’ll be finished encountering these ferocious spatial energies. We’ll just wait to collect her dragon blood and bones.”
The cultivators who witnessed this scene all made sarcastic remarks.
In their eyes, Ying Menglong’s actions were no different from a moth flying into a flame.
Many were already eagerly taking out various containers, anticipating the collection of Ying Menglong’s remains after her death.
“Alas, men are so fickle and heartless. His old flame is going to die, and he doesn’t even try to stop her. Such a beautiful dragon maiden. If she dies, it’ll be three lives lost in one!”
Some beings whispered and pointed, mocking Ji Mo and deeming such a scumbag to be utterly cold-blooded and unfeeling.
Ying Menglong plunged into the spatial turbulence, her expression changing drastically.
Waves of terrifying energy easily destroyed her protective dragon qi, tearing at her crystalline body.
Even the robust physique of a dragon couldn’t withstand the invasion of spatial forces.
If not for the mysterious power flowing from her abdomen, Ying Menglong would have perished instantly. However, at this rate, she would eventually meet her end.
Just as Ying Menglong fell into despair, a clear voice echoed from far below.
Ying Menglong’s eyes immediately welled up with tears. The damned scumbag still had some conscience, guiding her direction.
Though unsure if it was true, she gritted her teeth and charged into the coordinates Ji Mo had indicated.
