After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 459 Dragon's Thorn

Tianhe Sword Sect, suppressing Lei Feng.

The Heavenly River Sword Master's gaze turned deep as he looked at the enormous dragon phantom that had suddenly descended into a state of rage.

The attacks from Deng Yi and the others had no effect on Xuan Ting. The only reason it could be so angry was that there was only one possibility.

Her figure transformed into a shimmering stream of water, arriving before the group who were engaged in a fierce battle with Xuan Ting.

"Xuanting, if you abide by your promise to the ancestor, his descendants may spare your life." Tianhe Sword Master's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing Tianhe Sword Master's words, everyone's hearts stirred.

After seeing the Heavenly River Sword Master leave the stage, the giant dragon phantom coiled on the water curtain transformed into a young man in a purple brocade robe, who spoke with a fierce expression, "What a joke! I killed so many members of the Ling family, how could she let me go?"

I, Xuan Ting, was born a dragon, and dragons are destined to roam the heavens.

That bastard Ling Hai has trapped me in the Milky Way for thousands of years. Even if I die, I will never let his descendants order my Xuan Ting around.

The fact that you allowed a child at the Qi Condensation Realm to enter the Thunder Pool Secret Realm shows that the Ling family has been wiped out by me.

Once I've dealt with that brat, Tianhe will no longer be able to restrain me, Xuan Ting.

"I've had enough of playing with you guys, hahaha..."

"Stubborn to the end! Stop him, don't let him go back so easily!" Tianhe Sword Master's voice turned completely cold.

"Yes, sir!" Deng Yi and the others were overjoyed and immediately spread out to completely surround Xuan Ting.

"Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll tear them apart." The eerie young man in purple robes gripped a transparent crystal ball with a ferocious expression.

Inside the transparent crystal sphere, a male phantom with a pained expression lay asleep.

"You dare!" The Heavenly River Sword Master's long hair, rippling with water, slowly drifted, causing the surrounding river water to surge violently.

"Haha... I'm about to die, what am I afraid of?" Xuan Ting laughed loudly.

"I can let you go, but you must release him no matter what the outcome is, otherwise I will not give you a second chance," Tianhe Sword Master said calmly.

After hesitating for a moment, Xuan Ting said, "Deal!"

Deng Yi looked at Tianhe Sword Master with an extremely complicated expression, and finally left Tianhe with a flick of his sleeve.

Seeing this, the other Heavenly River Elders all sighed and put away their magical treasures.

……

Boom!

Countless thick, blue-white lightning snakes lashed out at Thunder Pool Mountain, producing ear-piercing explosions.

Guan Bi sat cross-legged in the Thunder Pool, exerting all his strength to refine the dagger in his hand.

"So that's where it was!!!"

The spatial folds surrounding the Purple-Gold Thunder Pool were forcibly torn apart by an extremely tyrannical force!

A gigantic dragon head, composed of turbid, violent, and blood-stained liquid lightning of purplish-black color, forced its way in!

That was not a physical entity, but an avatar that Xuan Ting had condensed by mobilizing the power of the entire external Thunder Pool!

The dragon's head was ferocious, its eyes burning with purplish-black lightning that could incinerate everything, its gaze fixed on Guan Bi on the stone platform and the dagger in his hand that shone with brilliant light and flowed with runes.

The terrifying pressure, like a real mountain, slammed heavily onto Guan Bi!

"die!"

Xuan Ting Dragon opened its mouth wide, and a beam of lightning, more than ten feet in diameter and imbued with destructive power, slammed into Guan Bi with a piercing shriek that tore through space!

All the vegetation formed from lightning along the way instantly turned to ashes!

Guan Bi's pupils shrank drastically! Her mind was completely focused on the Dragon Thorn, and facing this earth-shattering attack, there was no way to avoid it!

"careful!"

An aged voice rang in her ears, and the magma within the entire Purple-Gold Thunderclap transformed into a massive water curtain, blocking Guan Bi's path.

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout Leichi.

The purple-gold lightning curtain was pierced by the pillar of lightning. The enormous sound, like a tangible sound wave, tore through the air and caused the purple crystal clusters on the cave ceiling to fall off in a flurry.

The skull flew backward, and the soul fire in its eye sockets rapidly faded.

Guan Bi only had time to hold the not-yet-fully-refined dagger across his chest and mobilize the last of his vital energy to activate all the defensive magical artifacts on his body.

boom! ! !

The destructive lightning bolt slammed into the dagger! The purple-gold contract runes flickered violently, forming a thin film of light that miraculously blocked the pillar of lightning.

However, the terrifying impact and Xuan Ting's overwhelming resentment and killing intent pierced through the light membrane like millions of steel needles!

"puff--!"

Guan Bi felt as if every bone in his body was about to crack, and his internal organs were being gripped and crushed by a giant thunderous hand! Blood gushed out of his mouth and wounds like a fountain!

She was thrown around like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the black stone wall, the dagger in her hand flying out of her grasp.

With a clatter, it landed on the ground stained with his blood. The light dimmed instantly, and the runes disappeared, as if the power it had just activated had been exhausted.

Guan Bi's consciousness rapidly blurred, her vision obscured by blood. Only the faint rise and fall of her chest proved she was still alive, and blood gushed from beneath her.

"It's over! I will bury your flesh and soul along with this damned contract!"

Xuan Ting's Thunder Dragon Head let out a victorious roar, gathering even more terrifying lightning once again, preparing to deliver the final blow to Guan Bi!

However, just as Xuan Ting's devastating attack was about to be unleashed—

Beneath Guan Bi, the golden longsword, which had been soaked in the blood essence of every Ling family member who entered the Thunder Pool, suddenly lit up!

It was not the purple-gold light that the dagger emitted before, but a warm golden light that was more ancient, purer, and carried a protective will!

Om-!

A gentle yet incredibly strong golden light shield instantly rose up, barely blocking Xuan Ting's deadly second lightning bolt!

The light shield vibrated violently, but it did not break. Instead, it absorbed and transformed some of the destructive energy.

But that's not all!

The ancient dagger, stained with Guan Bi's blood and lying on the ground, suddenly emitted an unprecedentedly deep dragon roar under the golden light!

This time, the dragon's roar was no longer just the buzzing of a broken horn, but was filled with desolation, majesty, and a hint of... liberation!

Numerous dragons gathered above the Thunder Pool, intertwining and merging above the dagger.

A phantom of a purple-gold dragon, far larger and more solid than Xuan Ting, suddenly shot into the sky from the dagger!

This phantom was not like Xuan Ting, which was formed from turbid lightning. Its scales and claws were clear, its head and horns were rugged, and its eyes carried the vicissitudes and wisdom that came from being tempered by heavenly tribulations.

The primal power of the entire Thunder Pool converged madly upon it! The enormous phantom of the dragon claw, carrying the majestic might of heaven and the purple-gold divine lightning that purified all evil, slammed fiercely towards the dragon head that Xuan Ting had conjured!

"No!!! This is impossible!!"

Xuan Ting let out a scream of extreme terror.

Under this force, the dragon head it condensed, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, instantly began to collapse and melt away!

The dagger flew to the center of Xuan Ting's collapsed dragon head and began to absorb the remnant soul of Xuan Ting hidden within the dragon head.

"Ling Hai! You're really cunning!"

Looking with lingering fear at the dagger absorbing Xuan Ting's remnant soul in the Thunder Pool, and with his skull bearing numerous cracks, he sighed sincerely.

He knew that Xuan Ting was completely dead, and that a brand new dragon soul had taken its place.

This is also the final step in completing the 'Dragon-Slaying Thorn' spiritual treasure.
