Mo Qi's body was flushed red, enveloped in a halo of flames, as if a god of fire had descended upon the mortal realm.
His first sight was of a white dragon coiled in mid-air, spewing dragon's breath at Gui Ba Wan.
It was Xiao Bai!
"Turtle Breath!"
The colossal Gui Ba Wan unleashed his divine ability while still airborne. He opened his mouth and spat out a mass of black energy that surged towards Xiao Bai.
Where it passed, sand and stones flew, and the air itself let out a mournful wail.
Xiao Bai exhaled another stream of dragon's breath.
A ripple, like a shimmering lake surface, surged towards the black energy. Upon contact, the ripple tore through the rippled section, ripping apart the mass of black energy. The black energy let out a heart-wrenching, desolate shriek, as if being torn apart, chilling one to the bone.
However, the black energy was deep. While the front was torn layer by layer, the rear continued to surge towards Xiao Bai like an overwhelming tide.
Xiao Bai had no choice but to retreat rapidly.
Simultaneously, she exhaled dragon's breath again, sending another ripple to meet the oncoming black energy, tearing it apart layer by layer.
In this manner, the black energy could not harm her.
But she also could not harm Gui Ba Wan.
Gui Ba Wan sensed that his opponent was no longer exerting full force, and the tearing sensation on his body had vanished. He had had his fun and decided to channel his magic to shrink and restore his body.
For Mo Qi, this was precisely when his body was at its weakest – a golden opportunity!
Earth Arrow!
Thousands of white arrow bodies aligned, forming a single, larger arrow that shot out with the might to swallow heavens and earth. It struck Gui Ba Wan's body with the force of a mountain's roar and the sound of a surging sea.
Sparks flew, and the arrows slid off, dissipating into the air.
Gui Ba Wan's body trembled, but he remained completely unharmed!
He was still shrinking rapidly!
Mo Qi lunged forward, his body a blur, trailing a long fiery tail like a fire dragon. He charged at Gui Ba Wan, simultaneously drawing out the Qian Kun Ring.
The Qian Kun Ring also turned red, burning fiercely!
It seemed as if the entire ring had merged with him. His charge was unstoppable, capable of swallowing heavens and earth, breaking through any barrier.
Gui Ba Wan was forced to divert his spiritual energy and unleash his Turtle Breath towards Mo Qi.
"Vibration Wave!" As soon as Xiao Bai's situation eased, she immediately unleashed another shadowy ripple, sweeping towards Gui Ba Wan.
Gui Ba Wan was overwhelmed and unable to dodge. He hastily conjured his protective divine light.
The protective divine light, formed in haste and fragile, was quickly torn apart. His body was also torn, expanding once more.
With a thunderous roar, a ball of crimson light collided with the black energy of the Turtle Breath. They instantly permeated, fused, and then violently shattered.
The black energy held the advantage in power. Many residual fragments struck Mo Qi, pushing him back.
How could he retreat at a time like this?
Mo Qi swallowed a stabilizing pill and once again launched himself towards Gui Ba Wan.
Gui Ba Wan roared in fury. "Eight Directions Wind!" A blast of energy instantly enveloped Xiao Bai and began to shrink rapidly.
Xiao Bai once again exhaled dragon's breath forward, the ripples surging outward.
With a "tear," as if ripping cloth, the energy barrier was breached.
Xiao Bai twisted and broke free.
Gui Ba Wan was shocked; this had never happened before.
Dealing with someone at the Heavenly Immortal cultivation level was usually a simple matter, and his Eight Directions Wind ability would leave opponents helpless.
Yet now, an ability unleashed in haste had been torn open by a Heavenly Immortal cultivator.
Could it be that he had encountered an insurmountable obstacle today?
Gui Ba Wan was filled with dread.
At this moment, Mo Qi moved with lightning speed. The Qian Kun Ring, accompanied by wind and thunder, charged forward with his body like a swift bolt.
It slammed heavily into Gui Ba Wan's body.
The impact was so immense that the heavens and earth seemed to darken and tremble.
Gui Ba Wan let out a pained cry, his body sent hurtling backward.
He had seen Mo Qi charging at him and had prepared to gather his spiritual energy to counter. He had not expected the opponent's speed to be so great!
This was entirely beyond the speed expected of a Tribulation Stage cultivator!
As a result, the spiritual energy he had just gathered was instantly scattered!
However, Mo Qi did not let up. He pursued relentlessly!
Pangu Divine Power!
A flash of light cut across, deeply gashing Gui Ba Wan's abdomen, leaving a profound mark like an incomplete cut on tough hide, leaving a red imprint.
Gui Ba Wan, enraged, used his body's rebound ability to forcefully propel Mo Qi away.
Simultaneously, he retreated rapidly!
"Vibration Wave!"
On the other side, Xiao Bai attacked again. A ripple appeared in the air, marked with folds.
Before the ripple even touched Gui Ba Wan's body, it began to expand, releasing spiritual energy. Gui Ba Wan's body also felt a tearing force.
Other areas were fine, but at the location of the red imprint, a shallow cut appeared, faintly visible with red, but not yet bleeding.
Thick-skinned and tough!
Gui Ba Wan roared in fury and swung his fist, striking at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai twisted and flipped in mid-air, dodging with remarkable agility.
Having consumed the stabilizing pill, Mo Qi's body felt as if anchored by a thousand pounds. He was thrown back only a few yards before turning around and charging forward again.
Gui Ba Wan was on the verge of spitting blood!
Qian Kun Ring!
The ring, as thick as a large tree trunk, blazed with intense flames and slammed down heavily.
Gui Ba Wan, driven to madness, raised his fist, the wind from his punch carrying spiritual energy, and met the attack head-on.
With a deafening roar, light exploded at the point of contact between his fist and the Qian Kun Ring. Mo Qi was sent flying backward.
Gui Ba Wan's colossal body merely shifted back slightly. His arm bent severely, slamming into his own chest.
Gui Ba Wan grunted!
Before he could catch his breath, Mo Qi's body returned with a monstrous agility!
Pangu Divine Power!
Another flash of light streaked across, cutting along the existing wound, deepening the裂痕. Crimson blood flowed out.
Blood poured like a torrent!
Gui Ba Wan let out a sharp, piercing cry!
A mixture of anger and annoyance!
Would he perish today due to momentary underestimation?
At this moment, Gui Jiu Qian from Divine Turtle Island saw Gui Ba Wan's predicament and realized it was too late to delay rescue.
He leaped forward.
In mid-air, his body transformed into a turtle shape, as large as a mountain. He charged at Mo Qi with a breathtaking, earth-shattering momentum.
This collision would surely shatter Mo Qi into pieces!
"How dare you bully my elder brother! I will ensure you have no place to be buried!"
The next moment, his vision went black. A mountain appeared before him.
Too terrifying!
In his panic, Gui Jiu Qian tried to stop himself, but it was too late. With a deafening crash, he slammed into a mountain.
With a crack, he could almost hear his bones shattering.
A wave of intense pain washed over him, almost rendering him unconscious as his body plummeted back into the sea!
Looking up, he saw a turtle floating in mid-air. He could only see one side of its body, like the silhouette of a mountain, stretching across the horizon.
Then, the turtle transformed into human form, still floating in the air. With white hair and a white beard, he possessed a touch of ethereal grace.
It was the elder who had accompanied Xiao Bai and the Dragon King to Peng Qu Island that day.
The elder stared intently at Gui Jiu Qian, preventing him from acting rashly!
At this moment, Gui Ba Wan's body was hemorrhaging profusely. In his rage, he swung his fist again, striking Mo Qi heavily. Mo Qi was too close to dodge and, in desperation, raised the Qian Kun Ring to meet the attack.
With a thunderous impact, Mo Qi was sent flying backward.
As Gui Ba Wan's body split, it seemed to deflate like a punctured ball, rapidly shrinking.
After shrinking, his body became more agile, and he darted backward.
However, under severe injury, his escape speed was greatly diminished.
Mo Qi was about to pursue relentlessly. If this creature escaped, it would be like a dragon entering the sea, impossible to catch. Once it recovered, it would surely devour him.
At this moment, Xiao Bai, positioned perfectly on the other side, unleashed her dragon's breath.
"Vibration Wave!"
The air rippled again, shimmering like water, and enveloped Gui Ba Wan's body.
Gui Ba Wan let out a desperate howl.
He seemed to glimpse his own death.
The ripple expanded violently, and his body was brutally torn open at the wound.
Then, with a thunderous explosion, his entire body disintegrated!
A light rain of blood fell from the sky.
Xiao Bai, exhausted and drained, transformed into human form and fell from mid-air!
She had now returned to her mature maiden form, no longer a child!
Mo Qi immediately flew forward and embraced her with open arms.
Their eyes met!
Joy of reunion flashed across his face: "I've finally found you, Ling Feiyan!"
"The last time you left Peng Qu Island, I almost recognized you."
"Why did you pretend not to know me?"
