Bai Ruxue and the thunder dragon collided, thunder and wind waves swept outward, streaks of lightning tore open the seawater, and the deafening sound was like gods beating drums!

A full ten breaths of time passed.

The wind and waves gradually calmed, the might of thunder slowly dissipated, the dark clouds in the sky moved away, and a ray of sunlight penetrated the cloud layers, shining on the white flood dragon's body.

The originally charred flesh peeled off and fell to the ground, new flesh grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and new scales covered it.

Her dragon claws became even sharper, the dragon horns on her head were longer than before, like silver crystal coral.

Ethereal immortal music drifted melodiously, and in the sky above, a deep blue opening actually tore open.

One drop.

Two drops.

Three drops.

Blue liquid dripped down from the air.

The liquid carried faint thunder might and dragon race fortune.

"Dragon Thunder Liquid!"

Bai Ruxue's vertical pupils suddenly contracted.

Although Bai Ruxue had never seen Dragon Thunder Liquid, after crossing the tribulation, the dragon bloodline within her told her that this was what she had been longing for!

She quickly breathed out a stream of breath, wrapping all the falling Dragon Thunder Liquid to prevent it from dropping into the sea.

Then, Bai Ruxue flew toward the direction of the Dragon Thunder Liquid.

"Attack!"

With a sect master's command, all the small formations beneath everyone's feet bloomed with light.

Under the enhancement of the formations, each cultivator sacrificed their life-bound magical treasures, attacking and killing toward Bai Ruxue!

These sect cultivators had been waiting for this moment.

After a flood dragon crossed tribulation, although their realm was completely consolidated and injuries from the tribulation gradually healed, before their flesh completely recovered, it was still a time of weakness.

They couldn't possibly miss such an opportunity.

However, some cultivators felt that attacking this flood dragon themselves was too risky.

Even if they killed this flood dragon, they wouldn't get much share.

After all, there were hundreds of cultivators here, and so many sect masters too.

When the time came to divide the spoils, not only might they get nothing, they might even lose their lives.

So they set their sights on the Dragon Thunder Liquid wrapped in dragon breath!

"Get lost!"

Before these cultivators could touch the Dragon Thunder Liquid, they were reduced to scattered souls by Bai Ruxue's breath.

For Bai Ruxue, this Dragon Thunder Liquid was more important than her own life but while Bai Ruxue was focused on the Dragon Thunder Liquid, she had already been entangled by numerous cultivators.

Bai Ruxue slapped with her dragon claw, and a cultivator died on the spot.

When more cultivators approached, Bai Ruxue swept with her dragon tail, sending several Flower Moon Sect cultivators flying!

Seizing this momentary opening, Bai Ruxue's form shot forward swiftly, rushing straight for the Dragon Thunder Liquid.

Under her control, the Dragon Thunder Liquid also transformed into streaming light, flying toward her.

The Blazing Sun Sect Master saw that Bai Ruxue valued this Dragon Thunder Liquid extremely highly.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he simply changed targets. He formed hand seals, and a flame-condensed fire qilin roared out, pouncing fiercely toward the Dragon Thunder Liquid in mid-air!

Bai Ruxue's heart jumped in alarm. She no longer had time to control the Dragon Thunder Liquid to dodge this fire qilin, so she simply blocked directly in front of the Dragon Thunder Liquid.

"Boom!"

The fire qilin exploded on her back!

The newly grown flesh and scales instantly tore, deep enough to see bone.

Intense pain struck, Bai Ruxue's throat sweetened, and fresh blood spurted from her mouth.

Those blood droplets had not yet touched the sea surface when several sea fish leaped from the waves, competing to swallow them, then hastily fled into the deep sea and disappeared without a trace.

"It's fine... it's good that it's fine..."

Bai Ruxue looked at the Dragon Thunder Liquid she was protecting in front of her and let out a heavy sigh of relief, but didn't realize she had already suffered considerable injuries.

"You fell into the trap, evil beast! Let's see where you can escape now!"

The Dharma Mountain Sect Master's lips curved upward, his hand seals flying like the wind.

A formation that had been quietly set up activated.

The formation extended several illusory chains.

Neck, limbs, body, tail, all were bound by the formation!

Bai Ruxue's spirit shook in alarm, knowing something was wrong but the first thing Bai Ruxue did was wrap the Dragon Thunder Liquid with spiritual power and swallow it into her abdomen, avoiding even the slightest damage.

After protecting the Dragon Thunder Liquid, only then did Bai Ruxue try to break free from these binding chains.

"Roar!"

The white flood dragon let out an angry roar.

The illusory chains rang "clang clang" under Bai Ruxue's struggles!

But the technique was obviously prepared specifically for flood dragon species, and Bai Ruxue couldn't break free in a short time.

"Go!"

The red-haired sword cultivator pointed with his fingertip, and a giant sword one zhang and three chi long slashed toward Bai Ruxue's dragon head.

Bai Ruxue raised her head and let out a long howl, a blazing white lightning breaking through the air.

Although the giant sword fiercely tore through the lightning pillar, its momentum visibly stagnated and finally stopped due to exhaustion.

The next moment, both sword and person were violently smashed against the jagged cliff walls at the river mouth by the violent lightning.

However, just as Bai Ruxue's dragon breath ceased, a muscular cultivator raised a giant axe, carrying the force to split wind, and chopped down toward Bai Ruxue's head!

"Evil beast! Give up your life!"

The giant axe bloomed with black flames, even faintly carrying the momentum of Pangu splitting heaven and earth.

Bai Ruxue was bound hand and foot, wanting to use the dragon race's innate arts, but was sealed by the runes on these chains. Only dragon breath like snake venom could be used but she had just used it and couldn't release it again.

At this moment, the woman could only watch helplessly as that giant axe got closer and closer to her.

"What should I do? Xiao Mo is still trapped in the encirclement, and I haven't given the Dragon Thunder Liquid to Xiao Mo yet."

She knew she couldn't withstand this axe.

She wasn't afraid of death, but she worried that Xiao Mo would die here with her.

Just as Bai Ruxue kept struggling, trying to break free from the chains, that blood-stained blue robe blocked in front of Bai Ruxue.

She saw him wrapped in mountain-river dragon fortune, holding up a long sword from who knows where.

"Boom!"

The giant axe collided with the long sword.

Behind Xiao Mo, the sea area of fifty li raised a giant wave ten zhang high!

Xiao Mo struck out with another fist.

This punch seemed light and casual, but carried the weight of mountains and rivers.

"Thud!"

The giant axe cultivator smashed into the seabed like a meteorite.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Mo turned and cut the chains with several sword strikes, "Let's go."

"Roar!"

Bai Ruxue no longer lingered in battle. She carried Xiao Mo and flew southward.

Bai Ruxue had read in a book that if one kept going south, they would reach a kingdom.

In that kingdom, everyone was from the demon race.

She and Xiao Mo would be safe if they escaped there but how could the others let Bai Ruxue get her wish.

Having reached this point, everyone was clear that this white flood dragon must die!

Otherwise, they would be releasing a dragon back to the sea, and would surely face revenge in the future.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Sitting on Bai Ruxue's back, Xiao Mo coughed a few times.

"Xiao Mo, are you alright?" Hearing Xiao Mo's coughing, Bai Ruxue asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, it's nothing," Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head, his palm concealing the black blood he had just coughed up.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mo raised his head, looking at the white clouds in the sky, feeling the bright spring sun shining on his body.

The azure blue ocean was sparkling with rippling light beneath him.

Xiao Mo slightly relaxed the wind-blocking technique, and the salty sea breeze gently played with Xiao Mo's hair ends, carrying the mild warmth characteristic of spring days.

Closing his eyes, Xiao Mo looked inward at his own body.

Very little mountain-river fortune remained.

His body's vital blood had also been completely burned up.

Looking down, Xiao Mo slightly opened his blue robe, revealing a huge bloody mark running through his torso.

Black flames scattered from the wound.

Actually, under that axe blow just now, Xiao Mo's body had already suffered severe damage, and both spirit and flesh should have perished together.

It was only that Xiao Mo used his last mountain-river fortune to sustain himself, hanging on to this final breath.

But...

Xiao Mo looked at his body gradually dissipating along with the mountain-river fortune.

He knew he didn't have much time left.

"Ruxue, how are you feeling? Are you alright?" Xiao Mo asked about her injuries.

"Mm-hmm, I found that after crossing the tribulation, my body's recovery power is stronger. Although my back still hurts a bit, it's fine. I already feel much better," Bai Ruxue responded.

Xiao Mo turned around and looked at the wound on Bai Ruxue's back.

Indeed, the originally charred flesh and scales had already grown back.

As expected, Ruxue's talent was truly exceptional, and the true dragon essence blood was also playing a major role.

Previously when Ruxue was still a snake python, the true dragon essence blood only manifested in Ruxue's cultivation but now, after Ruxue transformed into a flood dragon, that bit of true dragon essence blood had completely merged into Ruxue's bloodline.

Although Ruxue was still a flood dragon now, her bloodline purity exceeded ordinary flood dragons by several times.

One manifestation of bloodline purification and ancestral reversion was Ruxue's recovery ability.

"Ruxue, how far have we flown?" Xiao Mo asked again.

Bai Ruxue shook her head, "I don't know, maybe seven hundred li?"

"Only seven hundred li," Xiao Mo gathered his sleeves. "I got to accompany you for another seven hundred li, that's quite good."

"Not just these seven hundred li!" Bai Ruxue retorted. "In the future we'll walk many more roads together, watch sunrises and sunsets together, watch clouds gather and disperse together, see all the great rivers and lands of this world together."

Xiao Mo: "..."

"What's wrong, Xiao Mo? Are you unwilling? Why aren't you speaking?"

Perhaps having escaped those people's pursuit and obtained the Dragon Thunder Liquid, the woman's mood had become much, much better.

"No, I'm willing." Xiao Mo smiled.

His legs below the knees had already turned into light points and dissipated.

Like a sheet of white paper gradually burning up, turning into scattered fragments.

"Hmph, even if you're unwilling, you have to be willing. I've already gotten the Dragon Thunder Liquid. After I fly to the Demon Realm, I'll be completely safe. Then you can take the Dragon Thunder Liquid and extend your lifespan."

Bai Ruxue said cheerfully, but as she spoke, the woman's cheeks showed a faint blush.

"By then... we'll... we'll get married... I'll... I'll bear you several children. Boys will look like you, girls will look like me, they'll definitely be very beautiful."

"Heh heh heh," Xiao Mo laughed, "Like you would be good, why like me? I'm not good-looking."

"Who said you're not good-looking?" Bai Ruxue retorted again. "You're very good-looking."

Xiao Mo shook his head, "You've lived in Stone Bridge Village since childhood, you've only seen a few men. When you see more, you won't think I'm good-looking anymore."

"That won't happen!" Bai Ruxue said confidently. "No matter how many men I see, I'll only think you're the most handsome!"

"Alright then, I'll accept my wife's praise."

"What wife..." Bai Ruxue said coquettishly, "We... we haven't had the ceremony yet."

Xiao Mo said nothing, only looked at Bai Ruxue tenderly.

His thighs had already dissipated.

"Xiao Mo, why do I feel like you're getting lighter and lighter?" Bai Ruxue asked puzzledly.

"I'm circulating energy to heal my injuries. The mountain-river fortune is slowly lifting me up, so you feel I'm lighter," Xiao Mo fabricated an excuse.

"Oh," Bai Ruxue believed him.

It had been this way before, and it was the same now.

Whatever Xiao Mo said, she would believe.

"Hey? Xiao Mo, speaking of which, can Dragon Thunder Liquid treat your injuries?"

"No," Xiao Mo shook his head. "Dragon Thunder Liquid can only extend lifespan, how could it heal injuries? This isn't a divine medicine. But it's fine, my injuries aren't serious, no need to worry."

"That won't do. Bear with it a bit longer. I'll find a small island to stop at later, help you look at your wounds first, then quickly find a town and get a doctor to treat your injuries."

Bai Ruxue was still very worried.

She was thinking in her heart whether her blood had healing properties and if Xiao Mo could withstand it.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Xiao Mo responded.

At this time his waist had already dissipated.

"Ruxue..." Xiao Mo softly called her name.

"What is it?" Bai Ruxue asked puzzledly.

"Nothing, just keep talking with me."

"Talk about what?"

"Anything is fine. I'm a bit tired and want to hear your voice."

"Alright."

Bai Ruxue thought for a moment.

"When we get to the Demon Realm, I'll claim a mountain as king, then we'll bring Little Green over, and finally the three of us can live together forever."

"If you're not used to living there, then when I become more powerful, we'll come back. By then we won't be afraid of those cultivators anymore."

"Also, also, if we have children, you can't say I'm stupid in front of them. You can only say it secretly behind my back."

"As a mother, I need face too."

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, I'm listening," Xiao Mo smiled. "Actually, you're not stupid at all."

"I've always been very smart," Bai Ruxue said proudly.

"Ruxue," Xiao Mo's body had dissipated to his neck.

"Mm?"

"In the future, cultivate well."

"Why are you suddenly saying these things?"

"Nothing, just wanted to say it."

"Oh, then go ahead."

"In the future, don't be rash in your actions, think thrice."

"In the future, don't trust others too much. Your kind heart is good, but always keep three parts vigilance in everything."

"In the future, listen to Little Green more. Although Little Green is younger than you, her temperament is more mature."

Bai Ruxue complained, "Xiao Mo, I don't want to hear these things, they make me feel uncomfortable..."

Xiao Mo smiled, "Just one more sentence."

The woman muttered, "Fine then."

Xiao Mo's gentle eyes were like this spring sea breeze, reflecting her appearance:

"In the future, when I'm not here anymore, you must take good care of yourself. You must walk the path ahead well... Silly girl, did you hear me?"

With Xiao Mo's final words falling, Bai Ruxue's golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted.

The girl's ears fell into complete silence...

In the sky above, the white dragon flew forward with all her might.

But her world had already disappeared.
