Chapter 717: Dragon Might Suppression

"Even if we have to sacrifice a few people, as long as I can break through to the lake's center, those sacrifices are worth it."

As expected, Chang Hao treated the others as cannon fodder; whatever else he thought about was only his own benefit.

So when this team meets a strong opponent, the damage is destined to be greater!

Right now, Chang Hao is fighting a Yin Yang Liu Chong electric eel, its body suffused with thunder and lightning power, matching him blow for blow, leaving Chang Hao with no time to spare.

The others fared badly; after only a short fight, people kept falling, swallowed by these aquatic Monster Beasts.

They simply couldn't push through. The lake was teeming with Monster Beasts, they couldn't even kill them, let alone the beasts' cultivation levels were not low.

Even before they reached the lake's central zone, a Yin Yang Liu Chong Monster Beast appeared. At the lake's center, who knows what powerful Monster Beast might be waiting!

"Senior Brother Chang, retreat quickly, we can't hold on!" the disciple who had previously scolded Ye Liuyun couldn't help shouting.

"Fine, there are just too many Monster Beasts in the lake! We'll retreat!"

Chang Hao launched a few fierce attacks, forcing the opponent back, and led the group to fight their way back.

But entering was easy; exiting proved difficult. Behind them, the electric eel pursued with its aquatic followers, while ahead the crocodiles and other Monster Beasts they had previously driven off still blocked the path.

Finally, after they barely fought back to the shore, only six people remained beside Chang Hao, all exhausted; once ashore, they collapsed to rest.

Ye Liuyun smiled, didn't mock them, and together with Lei Ming and Long Nv, headed toward the lake's center.

The crocodile pack on the shore, seeing newcomers, immediately attacked Ye Liuyun and his party.

Ye Liuyun remained calm, activated Golden Pupil, pulled the leading crocodile's Soul into his own Divine Sense realm. After a fierce strike, he placed a Soul Imprint on it, making it his mount.

Ye Liuyun, with Lei Ming and Long Nv, rode atop the crocodile, letting it lead its clan forward, clearing a path.

Chang Hao and the others, of course, kept an eye on Ye Liuyun's movements. They had come to watch a spectacle, but didn't expect Ye Liuyun to tame the crocodile pack outright.

Now the crocodile pack led by Ye Liuyun possessed strength comparable to their previous formation.

"That kid is truly detestable, having the skill to tame beasts yet laughing at us on the side!"

Chang Hao blamed Ye Liuyun for the frustration of his recent failure.

"Senior Brother Chang, this kid won't help the dying, we needn't be polite. How about we follow him and take advantage of him?" the disciple who had previously scolded Ye Liuyun suggested.

He had previously feared Ye Liuyun would take advantage of them, so he followed them. Now he wants to follow Ye Liuyun, speaking with such righteous confidence.

Chang Hao felt a stir in his heart.

"Not bad! This idea could save us a lot of effort. Let's go, we'll catch up with them."

Under Chang Hao's lead, they rose again, trailing far behind Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected them; a smirk curled his mouth as he thought inward, "Want to follow me for a glimpse of light? Did I agree?"

Nevertheless, he remained expressionless, continuing to steer the crocodile pack forward, engaging the next clan.

He wielded a Void Blade to slash for the crocodile pack, quickly opening a passage.

Until they met that electric eel again, the one that had clashed with Chang Hao.

Ye Liuyun clearly sensed the crocodile beneath them was timid, unwilling to advance further.

"Long Nv, try the Dragon Clan's oppressive might first, see if it works?"

Ye Liuyun had Lei Ming and Long Nv test the Dragon Clan's oppressive pressure; if effective, he wouldn't need to deploy a Skeleton Puppet for battle.

Long Nv heard and instantly rose, manifesting her true form.

A black dragon dozens of meters long coiled around Ye Liuyun and the others, its head facing the electric eel, emitting a long dragon roar.

Long Nv unleashed the true dragon's aura and all its draconic qi, immediately suppressing the electric eel's realm down to Tian Gang Liu Chong, lowering it by an entire major realm.

In fact, the true dragon's suppressive effect applies not only to aquatic beings' realms but also to terrestrial Monster Beasts.

It's just that Long Nv is familiar with aquatic beings and knows this habit of theirs.

The electric eel unexpectedly emitted a whining sound, repeatedly nodding its head to beg for mercy, while flashing aside to open a path.

The surrounding aquatic beings had long been intimidated into sinking, daring not to surface.

"What about those tails behind?" Long Nv asked Ye Liuyun via Transmission Voice.

"Let them follow in, then we deal with them!" Ye Liuyun replied to Long Nv.

Long Nv didn't revert to human form, instead rose and cleared the way ahead, leading Ye Liuyun and a pack of crocodiles onward.

Behind them, Chang Hao, seeing Long Nv's true form, couldn't help salivating.

"That kid even tamed a true dragon!" Chang Hao schemed in his mind, vowing that if the chance arose, he'd kill Ye Liuyun and seize the true dragon.

"Senior Brother Chang, that's a real dragon! Once we follow this kid and find the treasure, you can…" the disciple beside Chang Hao began offering him a bad idea again.

Chang Hao raised his hand to block the disciple's words, lest Ye Liuyun detect them with his Divine Sense.

"Stop talking, hurry and follow over."

He waved his hand, leading his companions to swiftly cross the electric eel's encirclement.

Ye Liuyun and his group were now not far from the lake's center.

"Below the water, there's a Yin Yang Eightfold octopus!" Ye Liuyun reminded Long Nv with his Divine Sense.

At the same time, he readied a Skeleton Puppet, prepared to throw it into battle.

When they neared, the octopus indeed burst out of the water. Ye Liuyun directly tossed the Skeleton Puppet at it, blocking it to prevent it from harming Long Nv.

Lei Ming simultaneously manifested his form, ready for battle.

"Is this… a Thunder Dragon Beast?" Seeing the Thunder Dragon Beast, Chang Hao was even more astonished!

"The Monster Beasts around this kid are all treasures! There's even a Yin Yang Eightfold puppet!"

Now staring at Ye Liuyun, his eyes seemed ready to burst into flames. He yearned to kill Ye Liuyun then and claim those two Monster Beasts and the puppet for himself.

But he would wait until Ye Liuyun led them to the spot before acting.

Otherwise, encountering a high‑level octopus like that would spell death for them.

The octopus was stunned upon seeing the Skeleton Puppet.

It had intended to rely on its high realm, assuming Long Nv's lower realm couldn't suppress it.

But now there is an additional Thunder Dragon Beast; although its realm hasn't been lowered by a whole realm, it has also been suppressed by the two of them working together, being pressed down all the way to Yin Yang Five Layers, basically it is no match for the Skeleton Puppet.

It somewhat regrets having come out at the beginning!

If I had known it would be like this, it would have been better to stay hidden underwater and not come out.
