Thus: Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu did not hesitate, and at the moment the Formation Array at the point where the blood flow broke through 30 meters, she drew down a bolt of heavenly thunder.

A booming roar sounded, and a bolt of lightning fire split down.

Translation: With a booming roar, a bolt of lightning fire split down.

Lightning spread like a spider's web, covering the entire blood flow.

The blood flow seemed to be scalded, quickly contracting toward the center point.

But even so, the range of contraction was quite limited.

The heavenly thunder and lightning flashed and vanished instantly, and the blood flow again spread outward in all directions.

Xiao Jiu gritted her teeth and immediately prepared to draw down a second bolt of heavenly thunder.

Translation: Xiao Jiu gritted her teeth and was about to draw down a second bolt of heavenly thunder.

At that moment, Liu Junyan's voice rang out: "Xiao Jiu, don't be foolish, stop!"

Translation: Just then, Liu Junyan's voice rang out: "Xiao Jiu, don't be foolish, pull back!"

Xiao Jiu couldn't fail to understand that drawing heavenly thunder to strike the opponent treats only the symptom, not the root.

Translation: Xiao Jiu certainly understood that striking the enemy with heavenly thunder only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.

But now, being able to restrain the spread of the blood flow is already a major breakthrough; even if she exhausts all her inner strength, she must do this.

Translation: But for now, being able to limit the range of the blood flow's spread is already a major breakthrough; even if she exhausts all her inner strength, she must do this.

Fortunately, Liu Junyan arrived in time.

Immediately after, Xiao Jiu saw a golden dragon body coming from the surroundings, gradually tightening and approaching the edge of the blood flow.

Translation: Immediately afterward, Xiao Jiu saw a golden dragon body coming from the surroundings, gradually contracting and approaching the edge of the blood flow.

Xiao Jiu watched anxiously as this unfolded, unable to determine whether the blood flow also had corrosive power against the true dragon's body.

Translation: Xiao Jiu watched anxiously as this unfolded, unable to determine whether the blood flow also had corrosive effects on a true dragon's body.

Liu Junyan's move was extremely risky.

But he had no choice but to do so.

He is Liu Junyan

At the moment the edge of the blood flow made contact with the dragon's body, Xiao Jiu even forgot to breathe.

Translation: At the moment the edge of the blood flow made contact with the dragon's body, Xiao Jiu even forgot to breathe.

The blood flow did not immediately corrode the dragon's body; the dragon scales at the contact point kept flashing golden light, and the two sides were constantly opposing each other.

Translation: The blood flow did not immediately corrode the dragon's body; the dragon scales at the contact point kept flashing with golden light, and the two were constantly opposing each other.

Gradually, Xiao Jiu saw that the dragon scales at the contact point had undergone a slight change in color.

Translation: Gradually, Xiao Jiu saw that the color of the dragon scales at the contact point had changed slightly.

She immediately pinched her fingers and chanted a spell; not long after, another bolt of heavenly thunder struck down.

The blood flow again contracted slightly toward the center, pulling away from the dragon's body.

Translation: The blood flow again contracted slightly toward the center, pulling away from the dragon's body.

At this time, Xiao Jiu saw that the blood flow had not managed to corrode the dragon scales or even the dragon's body; the color change she observed in the dragon scales was not due to corrosion, but rather… scale explosion.

Translation: At this moment, Xiao Jiu saw that the blood flow had not corroded the dragon scales or the dragon's body; the change in the dragon scale color she saw was not due to corrosion, but rather… scale explosion.

This means that, during the previous confrontation, Liu Junyan's true dragon body was in a state of slight expansion; although the degree was small, it had already caused the dragon scales at the contact point to exhibit minor scale explosion.

Translation: This meant that, during the previous confrontation, Liu Junyan's true dragon body was in a slightly expanded state, which had already caused the dragon scales at the contact point to show minor scale explosion.

This condition had already fully recovered by the time Xiao Jiu drew down the heavenly thunder and the blood flow's edge contracted.

Translation: This condition had already fully recovered by the time Xiao Jiu drew down the heavenly thunder and the edge of the blood flow contracted.

Just as Xiao Jiu's gaze fixed on the still-contracting center of the blood flow, Liu Junyan suddenly raised his dragon tail and blocked it in front of Xiao Jiu.

Translation: Just as Xiao Jiu's probing gaze fixed on the still-contracting center of the blood flow, Liu Junyan suddenly raised his dragon tail and blocked in front of her.

Before Xiao Jiu could figure out what had happened, her body was swept away by the dragon tail.

Translation: Before Xiao Jiu could figure out what had happened, her body was swept away by the dragon tail.

She quickly stabilized her posture, and when she looked downward again, she vaguely saw something shaped like an eye.

Translation: She quickly stabilized her form, and when she looked downward again, in a daze she seemed to see something shaped like an eye.

Before she could make eye contact with that eye, the dragon tail once again blocked her view.

Translation: Before she could make eye contact with it, the dragon tail again blocked her view.

Xiao Jiu saw that, at that moment, Liu Junyan's entire dragon tail had undergone scale explosion, with blood seeping from the base of the golden scales; the whole tail was in a terrifying state of expansion, as if it might burst at any moment.

Translation: Xiao Jiu saw that Liu Junyan's entire dragon tail, at that moment, was completely suffering scale explosion, with blood seeping from the base of the golden scales; the whole tail was in a terrifyingly swollen state, as if it might burst at any moment.

The chi snake was bewildered: "What kind of monster are we up against?!"

Translation: Chishe was dazed: "What kind of monster are we even up against?!"

Xiao Jiu had no idea.

Translation: Xiao Jiu had no idea.

Liu Junyan covered the area below completely, giving her no chance to see even a glimpse.

Translation: Liu Junyan covered the area below completely, giving her no chance to even glance at it.

His restrained voice came: "Xiao Jiu, take everyone away, immediately!"

Translation: His restrained voice came: "Xiao Jiu, take everyone and leave, immediately!"

Xiao Jiu's voice trembled: "Ah Yan, what is that?"

Translation: Xiao Jiu's voice trembled: "Āyàn, what is that?"

"Don't ask." Liu Junyan roared, "Go!"

Translation: "Don't ask." Liu Junyan roared, "Go!"

Xiao Jiu grabbed the chi snake and threw it out: "Chi snake, take everyone and leave this place as quickly as possible."

Translation: Xiao Jiu grabbed Chishe and threw him out: "Chishe, you take everyone and get out of here as fast as you can."

After saying that, Xiao Jiu folded her wings and, like an arrow, dove downward.

Translation: Having said that, Xiao Jiu folded her wings and dove downward like an arrow.

She refused to believe this evil; the monster that could be sealed by the war god Bai Qi must have a fatal weakness, they just haven't found it yet.

Translation: She refused to believe this; the monster that had once been sealed by War God Bai Qi must have a fatal weakness—they just hadn't found it yet.

She could not abandon Liu Junyan to face this monster alone, nor did she believe that, with their current abilities, they would truly be defeated by this monster without any means of resistance.

Translation: She could not abandon Liu Junyan to face the monster alone, nor did she believe that, with their current abilities, they would truly be defeated by the monster without any means to resist.

Liu Junyan raised his dragon tail, intending to block Xiao Jiu once more.

Translation: Liu Junyan raised his dragon tail, still wanting to block Xiao Jiu again.

But the dragon tail had already swollen to the point of being nearly transparent in some places.

Translation: But the dragon tail had swollen to the point of being nearly transparent in some places.

Through the translucent parts, Xiao Jiu faintly saw what Liu Junyan had been trying to block… within that blood flow, there actually grew a huge eye.

Translation: Through the translucent part, Xiao Jiu faintly saw what Liu Junyan had been trying to shield……in the midst of the blood flow, a huge eye had actually grown.

That eye was closed.

Translation: That eye was closed.

But it would open from time to time.

Translation: But it would open from time to time.

Each time it opened and gazed upon Liu Junyan's dragon body, the dragon body seemed to be struck by some force, and the struck part would begin to swell.

Translation: Each time it opened and gazed at Liu Junyan's dragon body, the dragon body seemed to be struck by some force, and the struck part would begin to swell.

Liu Junyan kept blocking Xiao Jiu precisely because he feared she would be struck.

Translation: The reason Liu Junyan kept blocking in front of Xiao Jiu was to prevent her from being hit.

This is too bizarre.

Translation: This was utterly unbelievable.

Although the dragon body is long, the speed of swelling and scale explosion is not slow; Xiao Jiu dared not imagine what scene would unfold when the already-swollen, nearly transparent part of the dragon tail suddenly burst open.

Translation: Although the dragon body is long, the speed of swelling and scale explosion is not slow either; Xiao Jiu dared not imagine what scene would unfold when the swollen, translucent part of the dragon tail suddenly burst open.

Flesh and blood flying, dragon scales scattering… Liu Junyan would be directly crippled…

Translation: Flesh and blood would fly, dragon scales scatter……Liu Junyan would be crippled outright……

During the gap when that eye closed again, Liu Junyan urged once more: "Xiao Jiu, listen, hurry up and leave; I have a way to seal it, you cannot defeat it."

Translation: In the gap when the eye closed again, Liu Junyan urged once more: "Xiao Jiu, listen, hurry up and leave—I have a way to seal it; you can't defeat it."

Seal?

Translation: Seal?

What price must Liu Junyan pay to seal this thing?

Translation: What price must Liu Junyan pay to seal this thing?

Back then, the war god Bai Qi wielded the Qingming Sword and still could not match this creature; ultimately, he had no choice but to break the taboo of the Qingming Sword and barely manage to seal it within this divine temple.

Translation: Back then, War God Bai Qi wielding the Azure Abyss Sword could not match this creature; in the end, he had no choice but to break the sword's forbidden spell, barely managing to seal it within this divine temple.

What Liu Junyan can do now is probably to draw upon the power of the earth's dragon veins.

Translation: What Liu Junyan can do now is probably just to draw upon the power of the Earth Vein Dragon Spine.

But doing so would render all his efforts over the past decade meaningless.

Translation: But doing so would render all his efforts over the past decade or more pointless.

"I won't go." Xiao Jiu declared firmly, "I am the Daughter of the Earth Deity, and I share the responsibility of guarding the earth's veins; if I leave now, I would be a deserter—how could I face the Earth Mother, how could I face the officials of the Nine Provinces Prefecture?"

Translation: "I won't go." Xiao Jiu declared firmly, "I am the Earth Deity Maiden; I too have the duty to guard the earth veins. If I leave now, I would be a deserter—how could I face the Empress Hou Tu, how could I answer to the officials of Jiuzhou Fu?"

As he spoke, a muffled groan escaped Liu Junyan's throat, and that eye opened again.

Translation: As he spoke, a muffled groan escaped Liu Junyan's throat, and the eye opened again.

Xiao Jiu didn't think twice; she flashed forward and arrived opposite, directly looking down at that eye.

Translation: Without a second thought, Xiao Jiu flashed over and directly gazed at the eye below.

Xiao Jiu saw that, within the mass of blood and flesh below, at the center point, a bloody eye stared toward Liu Junyan's dragon body.

Translation: Xiao Jiu saw that, amidst a expanse of flesh and blood below, at the center point, a bloody eye was staring at Liu Junyan's dragon body.

That eye was huge, large enough to cover the original small temple's area; the surroundings were all bloody mud, except for the white pupil inside.

Translation: That eye was huge, large enough to cover the area of the original small shrine; the surroundings were all bloody mess, but only the pupil inside was white.

That eye was huge, large enough to cover the area of the original small temple; the surroundings were all bloody, but only the eyeball inside was white.

A ghastly pallid white.

That pallid eyeball was moving; it seemed to also sense Xiao Jiu's gaze, and the eyeball suddenly turned toward her... In an instant, Xiao Jiu felt that powerful force stab toward her chest!

The Feather on her chest exploded instantly; each pore seemed to want to detach from the skin, while the skin itself seemed to be forcibly torn from flesh and blood.

This is the terrifying method of that eye, and also the pain that Liu Junyan has been enduring just now.

The key is, the opponent has already struck, already inflicted harm upon them, yet the source of the attack is unknown, and they remain completely unaware.

Just as that eye was about to close again, a spell suddenly flashed through Xiao Jiu's mind... This is an omen of the Earth Deity Maiden's power awakening once more.

Xiao Jiu instinctively formed hand seals and chanted, activating the Mòyù Bānzhǐ and sacrificing it forth.

In the instant before that eye closed, the Mòyù Bānzhǐ slammed into it with fierce force.

The ground shuddered violently, and the Mòyù Bānzhǐ bounced up over a meter high, but that eye... ultimately still closed...
