The Blood Flood Dragon revealed its true form, its massive body exuding an oppressive aura.

Lang Ya curiously stared at the Blood Flood Dragon, as it was only missing four claws compared to him.

After all, the Flood Dragon bears the word ’Dragon’ in its name, far beyond comparison to those Sand Pythons.

The moment the Blood Flood Dragon appeared, its terrifying intimidation and monstrous might made the surrounding Sand Pythons and Desert Wolves unconsciously retreat a few steps.

"Roar!"

With a roar, a terrifying sound wave whipped up a sandstorm, sweeping across the desert.

Yun Mengyao said, "The Blood Flood Dragon is more than twice as large as before."

Qin Yi smiled faintly. The Blood Flood Dragon trained rigorously and had many fortuitous encounters, becoming an entirely different creature from before.

At that moment, a shrill whistle suddenly echoed from afar.

With the whistle, the surrounding Sand Pythons and Desert Wolves started to stir restlessly.

Qin Yi and the others all frowned.

Someone was secretly commanding these beasts.

No wonder three different clans were teaming up against them.

"You all stay here, I’ll go check it out."

Yun Mengyao nodded, "Be extra careful."

"Little Wolf, protect the two of them."

Lang Ya nodded slightly.

Qin Yi’s figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light as he charged toward the source of the sound.

With a punch, the force of the punch surged.

The terrifying fist light obliterated everything in its path, shattering the Sand Pythons and Desert Wolves along the way.

In an instant, flesh and blood flew, staining the yellow sands red.

These Sand Pythons and Desert Wolves were no more than clay chickens and pottery dogs in front of Qin Yi, who punched through a bloody path.

Before the Sand Pythons and Desert Wolves could react, Qin Yi had disappeared, leaving behind a field of corpses and blood.

...

On top of a sand dune stood two figures.

From the outside, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.

The man was young, tall, and handsome.

The woman wore light armor, protecting vital areas, exposing swathes of white skin, especially those long and pure white legs, the dream of all women. Additionally, she was stunningly beautiful, rivaling Yun Mengyao, but her cold demeanor added an aloof charm to her visage.

The man looked into the distance, his gaze gloomy, with a trace of inexplicable malice and cruelty on his face.

The woman glanced at him, her expression icy.

The man slowly spoke, "Don’t look at me like that. This is what your Medusa Clan owes my master."

"The teacher was merciful; if it were up to me, I would have exterminated your Medusa Clan entirely."

"However, since it’s the teacher’s decision, I’ll naturally comply. As long as you help me kill the person who will appear, I’ll not only help you obtain the Nine Nether Emperor Heart Lotus but also ensure your successors remain unharmed."

"But remember this, if you dare betray again, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

The woman’s gaze turned icy as she coldly said, "Despicable, shameless."

The man’s eyes suddenly turned cold, staring at her as he said, "Is it me who is despicable and shameless, or is your Medusa Clan treacherous?"

"If it weren’t for your betrayal back then, how would my master end up in his current state? Medusa Queen, I advise you to think carefully about how you’ll help me kill that person; otherwise, your Medusa Clan will be erased from this world."

The woman’s gaze grew even colder, choosing to remain silent.

"He’s here."

The man suddenly spoke.

The woman looked up, under the moonlight, a figure was approaching at terrifying speed.

Within a few breaths, the person had stopped within tens of meters from them.

"Qin Yi, I’ve been waiting for you a long time."

The man spoke, his voice filled with murderous intent.

Qin Yi glanced at the man and woman opposite him, then fixed his gaze on the man, slightly curling his lips, "Tian Xie, you’re really like a lingering ghost, everywhere I go, you’re there too?"

"Do you think you have nine lives? Or do you think you have endless Essence Blood to consume?"

"If I were you, I’d run as far away as possible rather than seeking death repeatedly."

The man and woman were indeed Tian Xie.

The woman was the current Clan Leader of the Medusa Clan.

It was widely rumored that the Medusa Clan had been exterminated.

Little did they know, they had indeed faced a calamity, but not fully extinguished; the remaining members had only gone into hiding.

Tian Xie’s face was full of killing intent, "Qin Yi, since I dare to wait here for you, I have the means to kill you."

"Today, your death is certain."

Qin Yi chuckled disdainfully, "Kill me? Who gave you the courage? Hope you won’t slap your own face this time and end up running like a dog."

Tian Xie’s eyes were gloomy, his voice fierce, "Qin Yi, don’t be too arrogant. You didn’t expect to encounter me this time, did you?"

"I’ve already made comprehensive preparations."

Qin Yi sneered, "Comprehensive preparations, by finding a helper?"

Tian Xie’s face twisted cruelly, "That’s right, with her help, it’ll be enough to kill you."

"Then why waste time talking? Let’s get moving, my friends are still waiting for me. After killing you, I’ll go back to them."

Tian Xie laughed sinisterly, "No need to go back, because you can’t go back."

"As for your friends, they’re probably waiting for you on the River of Yellow Springs right now."

Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, realizing that the ambush against them might not just consist of Sand Pythons, Desert Wolves, and Desert Vultures. Tian Xie likely had more tricks up his sleeve.

"Those beasts you arranged couldn’t even breach the Blood Flood Dragon’s defense, don’t waste your efforts."

"Indeed, those beasts can’t kill them; Yin Qianqian is a second-stage Transcendence Tribulation Stage powerhouse. But what if ten cultivators just as strong are added?"

Qin Yi’s expression slightly changed; Tian Xie indeed had a backup plan.

"Afraid now? Panicking? I tell you, it’s already too late. Aren’t you known for being exceptionally clever? Didn’t it occur to you that the whistle sound was to deliberately lure you away?"

"Qin Yi, even if you go back now, it’s too late. They must have already become dinner for those beasts."

Qin Yi frowned, worry etched on his face.

...

"Boom!"

A storm swept through, kicking up a sandstorm.

A dragon shadow, entirely condensed from cultivation, roared out, not only blasting a pit with a diameter of over tens of meters on the ground but also reducing two Transcendence Tribulation Stage powerhouses to mush.

Lang Ya looked coldly, forming a seal with one hand, transforming it into a claw, swiping in mid-air.

A gigantic dragon claw forged from power suddenly appeared, shattering a Transcendence Tribulation Stage powerhouse into pieces, flesh flying everywhere.

"Bang!"

The flesh burst apart as a Transcendence Tribulation Stage powerhouse was crushed into fragments by the massive dragon claw.

Lang Ya didn’t make a move; he simply watched the Blood Flood Dragon perform.

However, from within the beast horde, a powerful aura suddenly charged toward him and Yun Mengyao.

These were Transcendence Tribulation Stage powerhouses, very strong.

Yet, they didn’t know they were facing a Giant Dragon able to fight Qin Yi to a standstill even when injured.

Before ten people could get close, Lang Ya raised his hand, wiping out half of them.
