Chapter 2512 - 2512: Transforming into Dragon?

Ye Qing clutched the Dragon-breaking Knife and rushed down the mountain, which was completely unexpected for everyone. Ye Qing could not exert any power at the moment, basically a cripple, afraid that he could not even escape, yet he dared to rush towards the enemy? Isn't this courting death?

"Alliance Leader Ye!" Everyone behind was astonished, hurriedly pursuing to stop Ye Qing.

"Don't come down!" Ye Qing shouted loudly, and everyone behind him immediately halted. For some reason, Ye Qing's voice gave them a feeling that they dared not defy.

Ye Qing clutched the Dragon-breaking Knife tightly, gritting his teeth as he rushed down the mountain. He indeed had no power, but he had the Undying Body and the Dragon-breaking Knife. His body might endure Wanyan Hongfeng's attack. And the Dragon-breaking Knife might also absorb Wanyan Hongfeng's strength, thus allowing him to still battle Wanyan Hongfeng. This was Ye Qing's only reliance.

Seeing Ye Qing rush down, a trace of cold sneer flashed across Wanyan Hongfeng's face. He casually waved his hand, saying: "Capture him!"

The Wanyan Family immediately had several people rushing out, sprinting towards Ye Qing.

"Die if you block me!" Ye Qing shouted loudly, swinging the massive Dragon-breaking Knife towards these people.

These individuals were all Peak Masters, easily avoiding Ye Qing, and immediately went to snatch the Dragon-breaking Knife from Ye Qing's hands. They weren't fools; they knew the Dragon-breaking Knife was crucial and all wanted to seize it for credit.

Ye Qing also did not obstruct them. If they wanted to take the Dragon-breaking Knife, well, let them try to take it!

The individuals had seen earlier how the Corpse Ghost Dragon held the blade of the Dragon-breaking Knife and then fell over, so they all thought there was a problem with the blade, therefore did not dare to touch it, all reaching for the hilt behind it. This hilt had been gripped by Ye Qing, and since Ye Qing was fine, surely they would be fine too.

But in reality, the situation was completely different from what they anticipated. The moment several hands simultaneously pressed on the hilt, a powerful suction force simultaneously transmitted from the hilt. In merely a moment, these individuals' strength was entirely absorbed by the Dragon-breaking Knife, and they almost simultaneously collapsed to the ground.

The suction of the Dragon-breaking Knife was extremely strong; if it were a Unity of Heaven and Man master, possessing immense power, they might hold the Dragon-breaking Knife and endure for several minutes. They would have time to contemplate what occurred and time to let go and retreat, at the worst losing part of their power. However, with Peak Masters, it was different; their strength was far less than that of Unity of Heaven and Man masters, grasping the Dragon-breaking Knife meant all their strength was absorbed within ten seconds. Perhaps even before they understood what happened, all their strength was absorbed, leaving no time to let go. Therefore, when Peak Masters grasp the Dragon-breaking Knife, it equates to directly being crippled!

These several Peak Masters fell in this way at Ye Qing's feet, leaving the Wanyan Family at the base of the mountain dumbfounded. Earlier, everyone thought Ye Qing was playing tricks when the Corpse Ghost Dragon fainted, but now, Ye Qing descended the mountain, right in front of them, and several people fell over; what was going on? No one saw Ye Qing making any move, yet these people just collapsed; was this seeing ghosts?

Even Wanyan Hongfeng widened his eyes; he had been watching all along but saw nothing special. How these people fell, even he hadn't seen clearly.

Ye Qing, however, showed no hesitation. This situation, he had long anticipated. He gripped the Dragon-breaking Knife tightly and immediately rushed towards Wanyan Hongfeng. Right now, he had no time for anything else and just wanted to rescue Fat Jiao as soon as possible.

The Wanyan Family people now dared not advance anymore; no one knew what sorcery Ye Qing used earlier, so no one dared take this risk. After all, even a Unity of Heaven and Man master like Corpse Ghost Dragon fell, so what about them?

Seeing Ye Qing rushing towards him, actually made Wanyan Hongfeng somewhat apprehensive as well; he didn't know exactly what was going on, hence clearly feared Ye Qing. Seeing Ye Qing charging, he dared not let Ye Qing approach, hurriedly waving his hand, the giant black hand immediately launched forward, confronting Ye Qing directly.

This giant black hand was the form transformation force of Wanyan Hongfeng, directly striking Ye Qing, flinging him several dozen meters away, crashing against a distant mountain wall. But this force did not stop, virtually embedding Ye Qing into the stone wall before halting.

Witnessing this scenario, everyone on the mountain gasped in shock. Viewing the human-shaped crater on the stone wall, everyone's heart sank. From the shape of the crater, they could surmise the immense power behind it. Such strength, let alone Ye Qing, even a Peak Master could not withstand it. This time, was Ye Qing really going to lose his life?

At the mountain's base, Fat Jiao saw this situation and couldn't help but let out a roar, clearly enraged. It struggled fiercely, trying to lift the giant hand suppressing it.

"Trying to escape!" Wanyan Hongfeng sneered coldly, pressing two giant hands simultaneously, once again subduing Fat Jiao.

Fat Jiao struggled with all its might but could not break free.

However, suddenly at this moment, there was a commotion from the Wanyan Family's side. Following that, a gigantic serpent burst through the crowd, charging forward. This giant serpent was the one that earlier carried Fat Jiao at the mountain peak, reputedly the largest snake on Mount Wendao. Crashing forward, even so many masters from the Wanyan Family dared not block its path.

The giant snake headed straight for Wanyan Hongfeng, opening its blood-red mouth and attempting to swallow Wanyan Hongfeng whole.

"Wretched beast!" Wanyan Hongfeng roared, waving his left hand, forming a sword finger and directing it at the giant snake. A black hand suddenly appeared in the sky, transforming into the shape of a black longsword, and slashed it onto the giant snake's body.

The giant snake was indeed enormous, but when struck by the black longsword, a massive wound was carved into its body, blood gushing out like a fountain.

The giant snake let out a screech, seemingly in great pain. Wanyan Hongfeng, without a moment's hesitation, waved his left hand again, transforming the black longsword back into a black hand, slapping it onto the giant snake and sending it flying.

The giant snake crashed against a distant rock wall and fell into a pool of blood, wailing continuously. Those two moves from Wanyan Hongfeng had severely injured it, leaving it powerless to strike again. In truth, Wanyan Hongfeng intended to subdue all the snakes on the mountain; otherwise, those two moves would have been enough to kill the giant snake!

Seeing the giant snake injured, the Fat Jiao let out another roar, more furious than before. Ye Qing was its best friend, and the giant snake was one of its descendants. How could the Fat Jiao tolerate seeing both its friend and offspring injured?

The Fat Jiao lay on the ground, pressing its two front paws against the stone slab, its body trembling incessantly, with blood continuously seeping out. It kept screeching, but it showed no signs of struggling to stand up. Instead, it seemed to be enduring some immense pain, its scale armor slowly rising as if the quills on a porcupine were standing up.

Wanyan Hongfeng was stunned, watching the Fat Jiao in astonishment, completely unaware of what was happening. What was going on with the Fat Jiao? It wasn't resisting; instead, it was undergoing some transformation?

Amidst everyone's amazement, a bulge of flesh slowly emerged between the two small claws on the chest of the Fat Jiao, as if something was trying to break free from inside. The Fat Jiao's body shivered constantly, and its cries persisted, as though the pain had reached its peak.

Finally, amidst the roars, the protruding area suddenly burst open, revealing a tiny claw. This little claw was right between the Fat Jiao's previous two little claws, looking very strange.

Everyone's eyes widened, the Fat Jiao grew a third claw; what on earth was happening? What transformation was the Fat Jiao undergoing?

At this time, the Fat Jiao's body slowly began to elongate, as if something was stretching it apart. The two-meter-long body of Fat Jiao soon extended to about three meters. Its scale armor also began to lengthen, becoming seemingly harder and gradually covering Fat Jiao's body.

The elongated Fat Jiao no longer appeared as plump as before, and the changes in its scale armor gave it a more majestic aura.

In everyone's shock, Wanyan Hongfeng was the first to react, staring at the Fat Jiao in a daze, saying: "This...is it transforming into a dragon?"

Hearing these words, everyone's eyes nearly popped out. Is this...transforming into a dragon?

"A snake transforms into a Jiao in five hundred years, and a Jiao transforms into a dragon in a thousand years."

Everyone had heard this saying. But as for the truth, no one knew, and everyone thought it was just a legend. However, after seeing the Fat Jiao, everyone understood that Jiao actually existed. But transforming into a dragon, that was something they were still struggling to accept.

Is the Fat Jiao truly about to transform into a dragon? Is this Fat Jiao really going to become a Divine Dragon soaring across the nine heavens? Do dragons actually exist?

Questions swirled in everyone's minds as they watched the Fat Jiao's transformation, and their hearts were filled with shock. Were they really about to witness the entire process of a Jiao transforming into a dragon this time?

If that were true, they could understand why the Fat Jiao had so many wounds. The Fat Jiao wasn't injured by someone else but rather from the transformations it was undergoing before becoming a dragon.

The most aggravating thing was that before transforming into a dragon, the Fat Jiao's bodily changes consumed a vast amount of strength, making it the weakest at this moment. And it was at this moment that Wanyan Hongfeng struck, no wonder the Fat Jiao couldn't compete with Wanyan Hongfeng, it was simply taking advantage of its vulnerability!

While everyone was stunned, Wanyan Hongfeng made another unexpected move. He suddenly let out a loud roar, transforming a black hand into a longsword, and slashed it toward the Fat Jiao!
