253: Chapter 253 Capturing the Dragon

Facing Long Yiling's strongest attack.

Ji Taichang remained calm and composed, merely waving his hand. The five precious swords immediately shot out, intertwining with each other as the power of the Five Elements interlaced in an endless cycle, forming a terrifying sword formation!

Boom!!

The water column breath spat out by the ten-thousand-foot Azure Dragon phantom collided with the Five Elements swords. Surging water vapor continuously diffused, appearing as if a vast ocean was surging, obscuring the surroundings.

But this lasted for less than a single breath of time.

The five-colored Sword Qi erupted with a bang, crushing the massive water column like dry weeds. Without losing momentum, the Five Elements swords interlaced like a brilliant rainbow cutting through the sky, piercing through the ten-thousand-foot Azure Dragon phantom and forcibly shattering it!

The dragon pearl in Long Yiling's hand shook violently, its light dimming significantly.

"Wha... What?!"

Seeing this scene, Long Yiling felt her heart tremble violently, and a chill couldn't help but well up within her.

This was a dragon pearl left behind by a Mahayana Stage ancestor of the Canglan Holy Court!

With Long Yiling's cultivation and Bloodline talent, fully activating this dragon pearl was enough to unleash power comparable to the full-strength strike of a first or second-layer Body Integration Stage Cultivator. Yet, it was shattered so effortlessly by Ji Taichang—how terrifying!

Despite Long Yiling's arrogance, she was deeply shaken at this moment.

"No... this person's aura is unfathomable; I can't sense his cultivation at all. He's definitely not from the younger generation; he's likely a Body Integration Stage old monster!"

"I have only been cultivating for a hundred years and am still very young. It's perfectly normal for my strength to be inferior to these old monsters."

"Humph, once my cultivation increases, if I am in the same Realm as him, I will definitely be able to defeat him!"

Thoughts flickered in Long Yiling's mind, and she quickly regained her confidence.

With that thought.

She gave Ji Taichang a deep look, then directly transformed into a thousand-foot Azure Dragon and charged toward the sheer mountain ahead.

Long Yiling clearly hadn't given up yet, wanting to get her hands on the Opportunity and fortune contained within the mountain first.

She was a descendant of a True Dragon. Even if she wasn't pure-blooded, she was strong enough and possessed extreme speed that ordinary creatures could hardly match.

"Is this girl really that brave?"

Seeing this, Ji Taichang couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Long Yiling clearly couldn't beat him, so how did she dare to continue charging toward that mountain?

Did she really think the speed of the Dragon Clan was invincible under heaven?

Or rather, even if she did get the Opportunity and fortune inside that mountain, did she think she could leave safely?

With a thought from Ji Taichang, Sword Qi flickered beneath his feet. He suddenly erupted with astonishing speed, catching up to Long Yiling in the blink of an eye!

Long Yiling was still calculating her own little schemes when she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. Turning her head, she found that Ji Taichang had appeared beside her at some unknown point, a curve lifting the corner of his mouth.

"So she's actually from the Azure Dragon Clan... Senior Sister Su, what do you think about me capturing her to be a mount?"

"Traveling while riding an Azure Dragon... just thinking about it is quite majestic..."

Su Yuehe's eyes widened slightly: "The Canglan Holy Court would come knocking on our door, wouldn't they?"

One must know.

The current Holy Lord of the Canglan Holy Court, an extremely ancient and powerful Mahayana Stage Cultivator, was himself an Azure Dragon in his true form!

Long Yiling's true form was also an Azure Dragon; the two certainly shared a blood relation, and she was very likely of the direct Bloodline.

If Ji Taichang dared to capture Long Yiling to use as a mount, it would definitely invite the frenzied retaliation of the Canglan Holy Court!

"You want to capture this Young Miss as a mount? You foolish human, what audacity!"

Long Yiling was also enraged by Ji Taichang's arrogant words. She directly spat out an ice-blue dragon pearl, from which a piercing and brilliant Sword Qi burst forth, accompanied by dense water vapor, both holy and sharp.

"Using sword techniques in front of me?"

With a playful smile on his face, Ji Taichang casually grabbed the fire sword from the Five Elements swords. The power of the Supreme Sword Bone circulated as he gave it a light wave.

Blazing fire Sword Qi erupted, stretching a thousand feet long. It collided with the Sword Qi slashed by Long Yiling, shattering her Sword Qi like crushing dry weeds.

Long Yiling's pupils shrank violently!

Before she could recover, Ji Taichang raised his hand and slashed out a full dozen or so streaks of Sword Qi. The flames were sky-high, like the wrath of a heavenly punishment, completely submerging Long Yiling.

Although Long Yiling did her best to resist, and the dragon pearl before her erupted with bursts of Dragon Qi and water light, she still couldn't hold it back.

Her entire dragon form was sent flying. Several deep gashes that revealed bone appeared on her body, and dragon blood splattered; she was in a quite miserable state.

Long Yiling still wanted to resist.

But Ji Taichang's eyes glowed slightly, and he directly activated the power of the Heavenly Fox True Pupil!

An invisible yet domineering force forcefully invaded Long Yiling's Sea of Consciousness, making her consciousness hazy as she fell into layer upon layer of illusions.

Before she could break free from the illusions.

Ji Taichang directly formed a hand seal. The carefree tower shot out like a lightning bolt, releasing a vast and towering aura, directly taking Long Yiling into the tower and suppressing her!

"It's over just like that?"

"Junior Brother Ji is so amazing!"

Seeing Ji Taichang deal with Long Yiling so cleanly and decisively, Su Yuehe's pretty face was full of shock and admiration. Her eyes even began to sparkle as she looked at Ji Taichang.

Ji Taichang shook the carefree tower in his palm, and an ice-blue dragon pearl fell out from it.

Ji Taichang picked up the dragon pearl. The terrifying spiritual power within his body erupted, forcibly wiping away the imprint on the dragon pearl and refining it by force!

"Senior Sister Su, this is for you."

Ji Taichang casually tossed the dragon pearl to Su Yuehe.

"Ah? Me?"

Su Yuehe hurriedly caught the dragon pearl, her small head shaking like a rattle: "No, no, this is Junior Brother Ji's spoil of war. It's too precious. I didn't do anything, so how could I accept such a valuable gift?"

"Little silly, if I give it to you, just take it. Why are the two of us being so formal?"

Ji Taichang smiled slightly and didn't give Su Yuehe a chance to refuse, forcibly stuffing the dragon pearl into her hand.

Such a domineering action made Su Yuehe's little heart thump-thump, like a deer racing. A warm current welled up throughout her body; she was both moved and delighted!

"Thank you, Junior Brother Ji!"

Su Yuehe suddenly stood on her tiptoes and very boldly planted a big kiss on Ji Taichang's face. Her pretty face turned bright red as she let out a "hehehe" silly laugh, her large eyes curving.

Was Ji Taichang the type of person who would just take a loss?

He immediately cupped Su Yuehe's face and kissed her back hard, returning Su Yuehe's enthusiasm.

"Mmm..."

Su Yuehe felt as if an electric current had flashed through her whole body. She trembled violently, feeling tingly and numb, her delicate body almost turning soft.

She subconsciously hugged Ji Taichang's strong waist, her pearly teeth parting as she tried her best, though clumsily, to respond to Ji Taichang's demands.

Just as the two were being intimate, oblivious to the world around them.

A loud "boom" rang out from behind, accompanied by the continuous collision of two powerful Body Integration Stage-level forces. It shook the surroundings and interrupted their intimacy.

Kunkun and the middle-aged man from the Canglan Holy Court were engaged in a fierce battle high in the sky. The battlefield was constantly expanding, and the fighting was extremely intense.
