Chapter 645: Demon Dragon
However, Yu Nianzhen didn’t answer Jiang Yue’s question.
Instead, he took the person’s arm and flew out of the ancient palace.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue frowned and unconsciously extended his spiritual sense to examine the sea.
A moment later, Jiang Yue paled, and a trace of red flashed in his eyes.
"Azhen, are you okay?" He asked in a trembling voice.
"Don’t worry." Yu Nianzhen said, but his voice was not reassuring.
Fortunately, didn’t insist but instead turned to Xiaolan.
"Xiaolan, inform everyone to retreat into the main archipelago. Don’t let them waste time." He said.
At the same time, he waved his hand and began adjusting the formation permissions of the main archipelago.
"Right away!" Xiaolan took the order in a solemn voice.
Although she didn’t know what was going on, she knew something serious was happening.
Otherwise, her two masters wouldn’t be so pale and anxious.
’Could it be Ao Tian?’ She wondered as she projected her voice towards the ten outpost islands.
Hearing the instructions, the Zhenyue people didn’t hesitate.
They immediately began to organise an orderly retreat.
While the people were preparing to retreat, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue appeared on the sea.
Yu Nianzhen was holding a long sword, and Jiang Yue was holding a pipa.
Both looked unprecedently serious and when they stepped on the sea, the surrounding sea beasts turned into corpses.
"This is the first time I have seen my two young masters’ natal weapons." Ying Yi said in a solemn voice.
"It looks like something has happened." Someone said.
"Has the watchtower noticed anything?"
"I haven’t received a report."
"Let’s not worry about that for the time being. We need to retreat as fast we can."
"You are right. Even if we can’t help out two young masters, we can’t become their burden."
With that, the Zhenyue people redoubled their efforts.
On the sea, Jiang Yue looked at Yu Nianzhen with a concerned look.
"Azhen, hurry up and take a tree of life leaf."
"Mmh." Yu Nianzhen nodded and immediately swallowed three leaves.
Soon after, a cool stream of medicinal power flooded his body, and his injuries began to heal.
Unfortunately, there was no time to properly refine the leaves.
"Azhen, I will take the lead." Jiang Yue said with a determined expression, but Yu Nianzhen shook his head.
"Your soul power is only level seven. You will suffer a backlash if you try to trap that demon dragon in an illusion."
Jiang Yue frowned when he heard that.
He knew what Yu Nianzhen said was right.
However, they had no good options.
"Don’t worry, I can still fight." Yu Nianzhen said, turning to Jiang Yue with a solemn expression.
"That demon dragon seems to have been trapped in an undersea formation. You can check the formation while I delay the demon dragon."
"I will check, but I am not optimistic." Jiang Yue said, and Yu Nianzhen nodded in understanding.
After all, they had scoured the surrounding sea when they were searching for immortal stone veins.
However, they had never noticed an undersea formation.
What could that mean?
Even thinking with their toes, they knew the level of the undersea formation was so high that it completely escaped their notice.
"Let’s do our best." Yu Nianzhen said, looking at Jiang Yue with a doting expression.
"Let’s do our best." Jiang Yue agreed and raised his head to kiss his lover’s lips.
’Azhen, I don’t know if we can escape this disaster, but I am not scared. I know you will accompany me in life and death.’ He thought.
A moment later, the sea split into two, and a black dragon flew into the sky.
At a glance, the black dragon had injuries all over its body, and its blood was spilling all over the place.
"Ao Tian." Jiang Yue exclaimed, but he didn’t get a good look because Yu Nianzhen immediately collected the dragon into the contract space.
At the same time, the swordsman swung his sword, and a heaven-rending sword intent pierced the sea.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue suddenly thought of something.
"Azhen, lend me your soul power." He said in a solemn voice.
"Good."
Without another word, Jiang Yue reached through the contract and borrowed Yu Nianzhen’s soul power.
After that, he superimposed the borrowed power, and his soul power rapidly rose to the peak of level eight.
’I thought it would reach level nine.’ He thought, frowned, but eventually didn’t dwell on it.
Instead, he strung his pipa, and a beautiful melody echoed in the surroundings.
A moment later, a piercing roar reverberated, and the sea rose and fell in response.
"Now." Jiang Yue inexplicably said, but Yu Nianzhen understood.
"Dao Transcending sword art, first form." He shouted, swung his sword, and a silver sword light fell from the sky.
Barely a breath later, a pain-filled roar filled the Cangxing world, causing everyone to tremble.
"Again." Yu Nianzhen said, and Jiang Yue strung his pipa.
The two tacitly cooperated, and from the cacophony of pain-filled screams, their efforts were not in vain.
"Azhen, I have opened my illusion eyes and can see the formation. It’s slightly damaged, but I don’t know where to start." Jiang Yue said, his voice filled with despair.
Even in the Reincarnation world, Jiang Yue had never experienced such a frustrating situation.
Looking at the formation, he wished he could magically improve his mastery so that he would know what to do.
"Do you think it will break out?"
"Not for the time being, but even if it doesn’t break out..." Jiang Yue didn’t finish his words, but Yu Nianzhen understood.
Ao Tian was a peak stage level eight demonic beast, but he was injured by an imprisoned demon dragon.
This meant they couldn’t rest assured just because the demon dragon couldn’t break out of the formation for the time being.
"Let’s focus on injuring it for now. We will be able to seriously weaken it if we can break the paw that’s already out of the formation."
"Good." Jiang Yue nodded and prepared to play his pipa.
"You can draw more of my soul power." Yu Nianzhen said, and Jiang Yue couldn’t help but frown.
"Azhen, I have already drawn more than half your soul power."
"It’s okay. You can borrow my soul power, and I will borrow your qi. Maybe we can deal with it if we temporarily increase our cultivation to level nine."
"But soul power..." Jiang Yue started but suddenly narrowed his eyes.
A moment later, he and Yu Nianzhen hastily retreated.
Following in their wake was a sea quake.
However, the quake was not a simple undersea earthquake.
Rather, the quake contained space law, and instead of randomly shaking the surrounding water, the water was breaking into individual spaces.
Seeing this, Yu Nianzhen swung his sword, and a sword-intent barrier rushed to block the quake.
Unfortunately, the barrier was less than useless in front of the quake.
After resisting for less than half a breath, the sword intent barrier crumbled, and the quake continued towards the Zhenyue archipelago.
"We can’t let it reach the archipelago." Yu Nianzhen said, and Jiang Yue immediately nodded.
"Let’s do it."
A moment later, Yu Nianzhen borrowed almost all of Jiang Yue’s qi and superimposed it with his own.
Similarly, Jiang Yue borrowed Yu Nianzhen’s soul power and added it to his own.
"I will block the sea quake, and you will attack the claw." Jiang Yue said, and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
Soon after, the two made their move.
In the Nine Treasures secret realm, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen refined several space treasures.
As a result, they gained a basic understanding of the space law.
At this time, Jiang Yue called on that understanding.
He augmented his soul power and unleashed his illusion domain, creating a barrier between the sea quake and the Zhenyue Archipelago.
On the other hand, Yu Nianzhen drained his qi and sword intent and forcibly unleashed the second form of his Dao transcending sword art.
For a split second, a horrifying power enveloped the Cangxing world, and the world fell silent.
Soon after, a terrible scream pierced everyone’s eardrums.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue had unleashed his illusion domain.
Because of this, only a small echo of the scream reached everyone.
Otherwise, Jiang Yue estimated that only he and Yu Nianzhen would be able to survive the power of that scream.
When the scream finally stopped, Jiang Yue trembled, and his illusion domain collapsed.
However, the domain did its work, and the sea quake didn’t reach the Archipelago.
"Azhen..." Jiang Yue called.
"I have cut the dragon claw and..." Yu Nianzhen said in a weak voice.
"And?"
"Old man Cang seems to have taken the opportunity to repair the formation. We are safe for now." Yu Nianzhen smiled, but the smile was worse than crying.
"Azhen, let’s wait for Xiaolan to help us return."
"Mmh." Yu Nianzhen nodded and then remembered something.
"Tell her to collect the demon dragon claw and Ao Tian’s blood. We can’t let them become opportunities for the sea beasts."
