Chapter 236

"Please." Jiang Yu waved her command flag, worried about Jiang Tu in the fight—aside from the two seventh‑stage cultivators, there was also an eighth‑stage that had come onto the island; while the Golden Core cultivators were engaging the eighth‑stage, she feared Jiang Tu would be hurt taking on two foes.

Jiang Tu is bold; he releases spirit fire while shielding the cultivators who haven't yet completed their formations.

In just a few breaths, several Golden Core cultivators on the island looked at him with gratitude.

True Person Bai Li felt the gaze of a group of cultivators inside the formation, and though he was reluctant to face the eighth‑stage, he couldn't stay and had to go out to fight.

After seeing True Person Bai Li off the formation, Jiang Yu no longer paid attention to him; she only cared about her partner who was fighting two foes: "Jiang Tu, don't fly too far."

"Won't." As soon as Jiang Tu replied, the Dragon King Ao Tang suddenly appeared from the side.

"Dodge!" Jiang Yu immediately warned, but her voice couldn't match the speed of an eighth‑stage.

Seeing Ao Tang's heavy strike smash toward Jiang Tu, Jiang Yu dropped her command flag, swooshed out of the formation, leapt onto her lightning bamboo fan, and rushed.

"Jiang Yu!" Wan Xiyue, failing to grab her, also wanted to chase out.

Xia Bing suddenly slapped a restraining talisman on her back: "Lu Chenxia, keep an eye on her."

Having said that, she instead wanted to fly out of the formation to save people, but she wasn't held back by Lin Yuan's restraining talisman.

He didn't look at his senior sister, but stared outside the formation: "Jiang Yu instructed me that nobody should follow her like moths to a flame; she can protect herself."

"Sigh, the opponent is an eighth‑stage." Several Foundation Establishment cultivators likewise looked outward.

Only saw Jiang Yu's bamboo fan, as soon as it took off, a trail of lightning arcs tightly shielded her from above.

Fortunately, after twice replenishing lightning power in the lightning pool for the bamboo fan, she gained this sudden lightning‑escape speed.

That bolt of lightning, at great speed, swooshed between Ao Tang's giant claw reaching for Jiang Tu, accompanied by a burst of many fire talismans, instantly causing Ao Tang to retract his claw and retreat.

"Jiang Tu." Jiang Tu, taking advantage of the two seventh‑stage turning to attack others, Jiang Yu caught up with him and fled, and having opened a box of heavenly thunderbolts, she felt ready to strike Ao Tang at any moment.

"Heh, mere Foundation Establishment..." Ao Tang couldn't let her run, and slapped a palm toward them.

But before he finished speaking, a "howl" was heard.

Jiang Tu, who had just been struck by him and spat blood, let out a mighty roar midair, and instantly his form transformed into a dragon's head and tail tens of zhang long.

Only saw it glare at the stunned Ao Tang, retract the spirit fire protecting the person, and its spirit power surged outward, seeming to devour.

The divine beast's bloodline power surged, firmly suppressing Ao Tang, causing him to bend over and freeze instantly.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Tu decisively rammed into Ao Tang, bodily sending the eighth‑stage Dragon King flying several li, crashing onto a small hilltop on the island.

This sudden dragon might intimidated another eighth‑stage and two seventh‑stage, and they were immediately struck by the Golden Core cultivators they were fighting.

True Person Bai Li saw that all the Foundation Establishment cultivators had already ducked into the formation, and immediately sent a voice transmission to several others: "We'll quickly enter the various formations and use the formations to control the enemy."

"Good!" Several Golden Core cultivators were also injured; today, if the opponent weren't an eighth‑stage octopus demon, they could have finished the fight with just minor wounds.

"Quickly go." Jiang Yu also hurriedly turned, leapt onto Jiang Tu's back, and simultaneously used her lightning bamboo fan to shield the two of them.

Jiang Tu wasn't stupid either; having just mustered a moment's bravery, he swiftly brought Jiang Yu flying into the great formation.

Boom

Fortunately, it shrank its size upon entering the formation; otherwise, the space inside wouldn't have been enough for it alone.

"Jiang Tu is awesome!" Lu Ruochan lunged over to feed it pills, and other Xu Xu Sect disciples, seeing this, also grabbed pills to coax it.

What a formidable seventh‑stage dragon turtle, capable of injuring an eighth‑stage.

Look, that Dragon King lies on the small hilltop, unable to get up for half a day.

True Person Bai Li also breathed a sigh of relief; facing the eighth‑stage had nearly cost him his life: "Jiang Yu, your spirit beast has rendered great service today; someday it may become the guardian divine beast of our sect."

"Elder, we need to heal our wounds; please oversee laying another grand formation." Jiang Yu didn't take his cue, stroked Jiang Tu and stored him in her spirit beast bag—actually sending him into the Dragon Pearl space.

Then she lifted the restraining talismans from Wan Shijie and Xia Shijie, urged them to guard the formation well, and went to a corner to set up a smaller defensive formation for rest.

Afterwards, the Dragon King led more demons in attack, but she had no heart to watch; the Golden Core cultivators still not returned from the sea were also outside her consideration.

Because she flashed into the Dragon Pearl, she saw Jiang Tu lying on the ground vomiting blood: "Aren't the pills working?"

Jiang Tu coughed lightly: "It's fine, just stagnant blood from the injury; the dragon clan of the Heavenly Origin has few good ones; someday I'll definitely wipe them out and clean house."

The dragon spirit coolly said: "You'd better assume your true form before boasting."

"I truly don't understand you; you insist on using your fine spirit fire to protect humans, causing you not to retrieve it in time, leaving you unprepared for the White Dragon's sneak attack."

"Jiang Tu, when danger comes, protect yourself first; others have nothing to do with you." Jiang Yu gave him honey water to drink; just now it was too perilous: "Today, it was only because the White Dragon King was careless that we managed to escape with our lives."

Jiang Tu felt wronged: "I thought you wanted to save those people."

Jiang Yu stroked it and said solemnly: "They aren't as important as you."

"My strength is weak; I can save ordinary people, but I cannot save so many cultivators."

After a pause, she again instructed him: "Don't think that today the Golden Core True Persons are protecting the Foundation Establishment cultivators; actually they are safeguarding the things harvested from the cave‑heaven."

Jiang Tu stared at her steadily: "True Person Lin, True Person Sang—are they the same?"

Jiang Yu considered herself ultimately double‑standard: "They're different; they genuinely protect their disciples."

"There are cultivators like them, but they only make up a part."

"Humans are so complicated; I want to sleep." As Jiang Tu closed his eyes, Jiang Yu fed him a Great Return Pill.

Then she continually cast the Rejuvenation Technique on him until she saw the Dragon King standing outside the formation, whereupon she flashed out of the Dragon Pearl.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the small defensive formation, she saw two streaks of escape light plummeting down.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the small defensive formation, he saw two streaks of escape light swiftly falling.

"True Lord Qiu of the Myriad Sword Sect!"

"Master, Uncle‑master."

"Sect Leader Yue Li of the Return Origin Sect."

"Ao Tang, do you intend to wage war against humanity?" Sect Leader Yue Li stared fixedly at the White Dragon King, very much wanting him to nod so the Myriad Sword Sect could obtain another dragon tendon.

Ao Tang couldn't help but shudder; the two opposite were both great cultivators of the Yuan Hou realm, and he immediately put on a smiling face: "Speak carefully, it's your people who intruded into the sea domain; you ought to give an explanation."

"Tsk tsk tsk, bullying the soft and fearing the hard." Lu Ruochan saw Jiang Yu approaching and whispered to her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, bullying the soft and fearing the hard." Lu Ruochan saw Jiang Yu approach, and whispered to her quietly.

"I don't know how many Nascent Soul cultivators have come; Elder Lin and the others, is there a truce?" Jiang Yu now had the leisure to concern herself with others.

Lin Yuan unfolded the communication jade talisman in his hand, "Their side also has a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Guiyuan Sect; the Yao Race no longer dares to fight."

"Good." Upon hearing this, Bai Li Zhenren strode out of the formation gate.

If it weren't for a disciple of the You Sect present beside them, Jiang Yu and her fellow senior and junior brothers/sisters nearby would really want to give him a withering look.

She was just about to take another look at the sorry state of the White Dragon King outside, when the communication jade talisman on her person flickered; opening it revealed her master asking if she was safe, saying he would arrive shortly.

After thinking, Jiang Yu, having reported her safety, asked: "Master, does that White Dragon King in the South Sea have any background?"

Dragons also come in many varieties; some are transformed from snakes, while others are born in dragon form.
