Chapter 2256: Xiaoqing’s Tribulation

The two reacted very quickly, but the situation now was completely different from before.

Under the control of the Three Demon God Slaying Formation, Qu Changsheng and the other two were like one entity. Although Zeng Changshou was mentally scattered from the Divine Sense Blade attack, the other two were unaffected.

One person punched Xiao Qing, while the other grabbed at Ye Bufan.

Moreover, both of them could now borrow Zeng Changshou's power, and their True Essence was twice as strong as before.

“This…”

Facing Mo Changlin’s punch, Xiao Qing no longer bothered to attack Zeng Changshou and raised her hand to meet the punch.

When their fists collided, she shot out like a meteor, and even a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

There was nothing she could do; under the enhancement of this Formation, the opponent's Cultivation Base was much stronger than before.

As for Ye Bufan, facing Mo Changlin's large hand grabbing at him, he had no power to resist. He quickly flashed and used Teleportation.

However, under the immense pressure, his Teleportation speed was delayed, and he was still grazed by the palm wind.

Although he wasn't directly hit, merely grazed, he still felt his internal organs churn, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

This was his first direct confrontation with a Void Tempering Peak Cultivator, and he truly felt the terror of such a powerful expert.

“Hahahaha, kid, now you see the power of my Demonic Cultivation Technique, don't you?”

Qu Changsheng burst into laughter. He was not in a hurry to attack, nor was he afraid of the opponent escaping. At their current speed, the opponent couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

“Ye Dage, I can't take it anymore!”

Xiao Qing was completely enraged. “I'm going to reveal my true form and kill them!”

At this point, Ye Bufan had no other choice but to use this trump card.

“Kid, come here and accept your death. I'll give you a quick one…”

Mo Changlin had just spoken halfway when a vast pressure suddenly surged towards him. Immediately after, a giant snake, as large as a small mountain, appeared before everyone. It was indeed Xiao Qing, the Green Dragon, revealing her true form.

As an 8th-Order Demon Beast, Xiao Qing's strength instantly increased once she fought in her true form, even becoming stronger than an ordinary Void Tempering Peak Cultivator.

“Three Old things, go to hell.”

Xiao Qing roared, opened her large mouth, and lunged to swallow the three of them.

Qu Changsheng and the other two seemed to have been prepared. Their figures moved and scattered, avoiding the attack, and even the Three Demon God Slaying Formation dispersed.

Seeing this, Ye Bufan couldn't help but frown, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Logically speaking, facing the powerful Green Dragon Beast, these three should have joined forces; that way, they might still have a chance to fight. What did it mean to scatter?

“Prodigy, this Old Man has finally been waiting for you!”

Qu Changsheng laughed wildly up at the sky, then a golden rope appeared in his palm.

Mo Changlin and Zeng Changshou were also the same, each holding a golden rope in their hands.

“Go!”

The three of them cast a spell, and the golden ropes instantly transformed into streaks of light, wrapping around Xiao Qing's head, waist, and tail respectively.

The streaks of light were too fast; Xiao Qing couldn't dodge in time and was tightly bound in a hurry.

“Woooo…”

The Green Dragon let out an angry roar, trying to break free from the ropes.

But the ropes glowed with dazzling golden light, not only binding her tightly but also instantly suppressing her power.

Her huge body could no longer remain in mid-air and fell to the ground with a thud, shaking the entire valley.

Seeing this, Qu Changsheng let out a burst of arrogant laughter.

“Prodigy, don't even think about resisting. This is the Dragon Binding Cord, specially used to deal with you Yao Beasts.

Although it's just a replica, it comes from the hands of a master and is more than enough to deal with an 8th-Order Demon Beast like you.”

The Green Dragon lay prostrate on the ground, filled with unwillingness, struggling desperately, but it was useless.

The Dragon Binding Cord is a legendary Divine Artifact, specifically used against Yao Beasts, with a suppressive effect based on their attributes.

The ones held by the Three Great Elders were not the true Dragon Binding Cords, but they had reached the High Grade Spiritual Qi level. They could be said to be exquisite replicas, more than enough to deal with Yao Beasts below the 8th-Order.

“Let her go. You want to deal with me. I'm willing to let you do as you please.”

Seeing Xiao Qing suffer so much, Ye Bufan felt a pang of unbearable pain in his heart.

Through such a long time together, she had become a true friend in his heart, not just a Yao Beast.

Of course, he wasn't really going to give up his life; that would be even more foolish. Not only would he die, but he wouldn't be able to save Xiao Qing either.

The reason he said this was to get close to Xiao Qing and then bring her into the Dragon King Palace. At this point, he couldn't afford to worry about exposing his secret.

But now the distance was too far; he could only do it by getting closer.

“Kid, get lost!”

Mo Changlin merely flicked his sleeve, and an invisible surge of Qi sent him flying.

Lan Meier stepped forward and said with a mocking expression, “They all say you're a lovesick fool. Now it seems it's true. You wouldn't even let a Yao Beast go, would you?”

Ye Bufan climbed up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, “She is my friend. You want to deal with me, and it has nothing to do with her.”

“Hahahahaha, you think too highly of yourself…”

Lan Meier burst into arrogant laughter. After she had laughed enough, she said, “Do you think our Demonic Sect mobilized so many powerful experts and put in so much effort just to deal with a small doctor like you?

Shao Feng is indeed one of the Twelve Saints, but someone like him dying is just dying; he's not worth us seeking revenge for.

The reason we went to such lengths to get close to you was because we suspected this little girl was a transformed Yao Beast and wanted to see her true strength.

Before, I used so many schemes to see her make a move.

If she were a 9th-Order Demon Beast, then our Demonic Sect branch in Tianluo State really couldn't handle it. I didn't expect her to be just an 8th-Order.

Thinking about it, you're quite capable to be able to make an 8th-Order Demon Beast transform.

No matter what, you eventually fell into my hands. Reporting this to the Demonic Sect Headquarters will be a great achievement for me.

You know, an 8th-Order Demon Beast is full of treasures, especially its Demon Beast Core. I'm sure the Sect Leader will absolutely love it, hahahaha…”

“You…”

Ye Bufan realized that he had ultimately been careless. A teenage girl having such high-level Cultivation and being a Body Cultivator.

Ordinary people wouldn't pay much attention, but those with intentions would easily associate it with a transformed Yao Beast.

At the same time, he felt a pang of self-reproach. If he hadn't tricked Xiao Qing out of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, these people wouldn't dare to go in and cause trouble, otherwise they would be overwhelmed by the Demon Beast army.

Now, he realized he had harmed the Green Dragon; otherwise, she could have lived happily for tens of thousands more years.

“Stop wasting time. To prevent any further complications, let's deal with this beast first.”

Qu Changsheng finished speaking and stretched out his hand. Demonic Qi quickly gathered into a black spear, which he then fiercely thrust towards Xiao Qing's head.

Under the suppression of the Dragon Binding Cord, the Yao Beast's defensive capabilities were greatly reduced. The Demonic Qi spear directly pierced through her head, and blood splattered.

At the same time, Mo Changlin and Zeng Changshou also conjured Demonic Qi spears and stabbed them into Xiao Qing's abdomen and tail respectively.

It was clear that these people had thoroughly planned beforehand and knew how to deal with a Yao Beast.

“Ah!”

Xiao Qing let out a tragic wail, then her body rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into human form, but she was soaked in blood and on the verge of death.

And the three Dragon Binding Cords had completed their mission, automatically falling off to the side.
