Chapter 314: The Minion

The Green Flood Dragon's true form was a full three zhang long and as thick as a water vat, with horns that had not fully formed, looking like two black tree branches stuck on its head!

"It has revealed its true form!"

After seeing the water dragon's true form, Zhang Nuo only smiled lightly and did not take it to heart. Generally speaking, when demon beasts reached the most critical moment of a battle, they would transform their bodies into their true forms to exert their strength to the greatest possible extent!

"Roar! Humble human! You will regret this!"

The water dragon spat out Spiritual Qi from its mouth, its pair of eyes releasing intense killing intent! After a long, primal roar, it lunged directly at Zhang Nuo!

"A dragon is always a dragon! It cannot ascend to the halls of elegance!"

Speaking in a voice so low it was almost inaudible, Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense, and over a dozen Spirit-refined Flying Swords shot out from his body at once. Silver dragons appeared abruptly, scaring the cultivators watching from behind into sticking out their tongues. The overbearing Spiritual Pressure felt like a vast ocean and a deep abyss, with dragon roars echoing one after another.

"Go!"

Pointing a finger at the charging water dragon in the void, the dozen silver dragons soared into the sky like masters laughing proudly at the vast expanse, swarming to surround the water dragon in the center!

Sensing the momentum that made the wind and clouds shift slightly, the water dragon's body flashed with streaks of green light. With a wide open mouth, it spat out several green beams of light as thick as bowl mouths.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dense, raindrop-like explosions rang out in a continuous sheet around the water dragon. The dozen silver dragons refused to show weakness, their roars growing louder as they resisted the incoming green beams of light, striking the water dragon's body one after another!

From within a ball of white light a mile wide, a mournful cry from the water dragon rang out. Immediately, a green rainbow flashed out from the white light, and as soon as it landed, it revealed the water dragon's body, covered in wounds!

The corners of Zhang Nuo's mouth tilted up slightly. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the dozen Flying Swords returned to their original forms and gathered by his side. He slanted his gaze toward the water dragon, which wore a look of utter astonishment!

"Do you still want to keep fighting?"

With his hands clasped behind his back, Zhang Nuo said indifferently.

"You..."

Although the dozens of wounds on its body were not fatal, the waves of intense pain still made the water dragon knit its brows tightly. It had ended up like this after just one exchange; if it continued to fight, it feared it wouldn't even have a chance to survive! However, being stubborn by nature, it found it hard to swallow this bitter pill!

Just at this moment, a white rainbow rushed over from a mountain peak in the distance. The white rainbow was very fast, like a shooting star cutting through the void, and it landed in front of the water dragon in a flash.

"Hmph! I told you long ago not to underestimate these humble humans! How is it? You've suffered a loss, haven't you!"

The white radiance dissipated, revealing a middle-aged man in white robes. This person had a tall stature and a face like polished jade, with two small, slightly protruding bumps on his forehead. Not only did they not look ugly, but they actually added a touch of might to his temperament.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nuo knew that this was also a demon beast in its Transformation Stage, but the Spiritual Power fluctuations radiating from its body were even stronger, reaching the realm of a Seventh-tier Demon Beast!

Hearing the white-robed man's words, the water dragon did not dare to show the slightest resistance. Its angry face was almost buried in the ground, and while it let out low growls, it dared not speak!

At the same time the white-robed man appeared, a trace of fear appeared on Zhang Nuo's smiling face. A Seventh-tier Demon Beast! Even though his strength had greatly increased, he absolutely dared not underestimate it!

At this moment, the cultivators in the encampment all changed expressions upon seeing the white-robed man appear; some even shifted their feet and secretly retreated backward!

Standing at the top of the small building, Ye Yuemiao's lively eyes flickered repeatedly. Her pretty face changed slightly, and she drifted to the ground in one motion before running toward the gate of the encampment!

"What is your name?"

After the white-robed man shifted his feet and walked forward a few steps, he asked Zhang Nuo.

"Does that have anything to do with you?"

Although he knew the other party's cultivation was not low, Zhang Nuo still faced him calmly, his words devoid of any fear!

"Oh! Perhaps if you don't say it now, you won't have the chance to later!"

The white-robed man did not get angry; he only gently stroked the small, slightly protruding bumps on his forehead with his hand. This seemingly casual gesture made Zhang Nuo's heart tremble slightly, because an extremely powerful Spiritual Pressure surged rapidly from the white-robed man's body, enveloping him within it.

"Baijiaowang! You are too presumptuous! To actually dare to run to my Ye Family's territory!"

A voice, sounding like heavenly music and ethereal, suddenly came from the Restriction behind the encampment, and then a girl with a graceful figure walked up to Zhang Nuo!

"Hehe! Little girl of the Ye family, I didn't expect you to still remember this king!"

The white-robed man smiled faintly, narrowed his eyes, and scrutinized Ye Yuemiao for a few moments before speaking.

The name Baijiaowang struck a sharp flash in Zhang Nuo's mind! He truly had not expected that the demon beast standing before him was the Baijiaowang who had recently risen to fame on the Xianhuan Continent!

In the past few days, most of the news Zhang Nuo had gathered in the encampment was related to Baijiaowang, especially the rumors of it fighting three Nascent Soul Stage experts alone without falling into a disadvantage, which were spreading like wildfire!

"Your subordinate came here to cause trouble; could it be that you instigated it again?"

Ye Yuemiao's expression turned cold, her skin, smooth as congealed fat, showing a hint of displeasure!

"Hehe! Ever since I exchanged blows with Fellow Daoist Ye last time, I have been unwilling to let it go, so I wanted to experience his divine abilities once more!"

Without denying the girl's question, Baijiaowang lifted his head slightly and looked toward the interior of the encampment, as if searching for someone. Zhang Nuo frowned; the 'Fellow Daoist Ye' that Baijiaowang spoke of should refer to Ye Bufan, not this little girl Ye Yuemiao!

"My ancestor is not here; you had better come back another day to ask for a beating!"

With a playful smile, the girl said quite helplessly.

"Is that so? Since Fellow Daoist Ye is not here, then this king will force him out! I will destroy this encampment first and see how he can endure it!"

A fierce intent suddenly erupted from Baijiaowang's calm face, and the true nature of the demon beast was completely exposed. He did not move his body at all, yet suddenly vanished from where he stood!

Zhang Nuo secretly cursed, "Not good," and flashed to block in front of Ye Yuemiao. Then, flicking his ten fingers in succession, the Flying Swords beside him turned into streaks of white light, slashing wildly several times in the void one zhang in front of the two!

'Boom!'

A loud boom rang out, and the void where Zhang Nuo's Flying Swords slashed seemed to collapse. Baijiaowang emerged from within, looking seemingly relaxed, and opened his mouth slightly to spit out a sheet of white rosy light, knocking all the Flying Swords away!

Gasping, Zhang Nuo had never imagined that his Flying Swords would be so vulnerable. With a movement of his Divine Sense, all the Flying Swords submerged into his body. At the same time, the girl behind him grabbed Zhang Nuo's hand, and the two instantly returned inside the encampment's Restriction.

Still shaken, Zhang Nuo cast his gaze toward Baijiaowang once more. This demon beast's strength was definitely far above his own! It could take his life with a mere wave of its hand!

"Baijiaowang, do you still have any shame? Knowing full well that my Ye Family ancestor is not here, you still bully us juniors!"

Back inside the Restriction, Ye Yuemiao felt much more at ease. No matter how strong Baijiaowang's cultivation was, it would not be able to do anything about this Restriction for a while!

"Little girl, wait until I catch you; let's see if you can still be so sharp-tongued then!"

Seemingly somewhat angry, Baijiaowang raised both hands, and two balls of milky-white spirit light slammed directly onto the Restriction. With a loud, rumbling boom, the Restriction shrouding the encampment erupted with dazzling five-colored light, and a series of humming sounds rang out. In the blink of an eye, the Restriction returned to calm! It seemed the previous strike had not caused it much impact!

"Hit it! Keep hitting it! Even if I gave you another year, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to break this Restriction with brute force!"

A faint, cold smile appeared on the girl's lips, and then she led Zhang Nuo toward the small building!

Boom, boom! Just as the girl turned to leave, Baijiaowang struck the Restriction several more times, but unfortunately, it did not know the method to break the Restriction, so these strikes were like mud oxen entering the sea, having no effect at all!

After Zhang Nuo and Ye Yuemiao returned to the small building, they looked toward the gate of the encampment and saw Baijiaowang standing where it was, with no intention of leaving!

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this..."

Having the entrance blocked by a Seventh Rank demonic beast is certainly no good thing. Zhang Nuo's expression darkened; he did not know how the Ye Family had offended Baijiaowang to cause such behavior!

"Sigh! It's a long story. Once, my ancestor and Baijiaowang fought fiercely over a mineral vein. After the two battled bitterly for three days, Baijiaowang ultimately lost. However, this demon was somewhat unconvinced by the defeat, and whenever he has time, he comes here to pick a fight, insisting on competing with my ancestor again!"

Shaking his head helplessly, looking at the young girl's demeanor, this was not the first time Baijiaowang had come!

"This demon's cultivation is too terrifying; Zhang is no match for him either!"

Having exchanged blows with Baijiaowang only once, Zhang Nuo deeply understood the gap between himself and the opponent!

"How could this matter trouble Fellow Daoist Zhang to take action? This is our Ye Family's affair! Wait a few more days; once my ancestor returns, this white flood dragon will behave!"

Zhang Nuo nodded slightly. It seemed the Ye Family's ancestor, Ye Bufan, must be a very powerful cultivator; otherwise, he would not have been able to battle Baijiaowang for three days and three nights!

Trapped in the encampment for the time being, it was very difficult for Zhang Nuo to leave; the only exit was blocked by Baijiaowang, so he had no choice but to sit in meditation and cultivate in the small building first!

Under the Restriction, the water flood dragon would shout challenges loudly every day, but everyone understood in their hearts that the water flood dragon was merely a small fry; if anyone really dared to go out, Baijiaowang might appear immediately!

Ye Yuemiao was quite composed, letting the water flood dragon curse wildly outside while she sat quietly on a Putan to meditate!

One day, two days; in the blink of an eye, ten days passed. Not only did Baijiaowang not leave, but he actually attracted many cultivators of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan. Outside the encampment's Restriction, a full dozen or so flood dragon demon cultivators in the Transformation Stage were continuously attacking the Restriction.

Yet the cultivators inside the encampment were in a state of panic; if the demonic beasts outside were to break in, their fates would be dire!
