413: It's really touching

After absorbing the West and South Dragon Kings, the North Dragon King's aura continued to strengthen, quickly reaching the Four-Star Dou Sheng Realm.

But at the same time, his body seemed unable to withstand this immense energy, gradually losing his human form and transforming into a monstrous, half-human, half-flesh creature.

His muscles moved like living things beneath his skin, and streams of blood plasma seeped from his pores.

His head continuously expanded, eventually engulfing the two Dragon heads.

The next instant, the faces of the West and South Dragon Kings, along with the North Dragon King's features, appeared on the same head, looking bizarre, terrifying, and utterly disgusting.

"Dragon Transformation Demonic Formation! The North Dragon King, that scoundrel! This Formation is a forbidden technique of the Ancient Dragon Clan, destroyed thousands of years ago. How could he possibly cast it?!"

The Grand Elder trembled all over, his hair and beard dancing.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who managed the Ancient Dragon Clan's secret techniques back then was the North Dragon King's great-grandfather..." Elder Zhu Li said hesitantly.

The Dragon Transformation Demonic Formation is a forbidden technique of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, created by a supremely powerful Void Ancient Dragon Senior of the past.

Once this Formation takes shape, everyone except the person controlling the Formation's eye will be transformed into flesh and blood by the Formation.

The person acting as the Formation's eye can then absorb these, ultimately enhancing his own strength.

Due to the Dragon Transformation Demonic Formation's excessive brutality and gore, it was eventually decided to destroy it and forbid its use.

No one expected that the North Dragon King would secretly learn this Formation.

He even set up this Formation on East Dragon Island.

Now, the powerhouses and elites from the other Three Great Dragon Islands are all gathered here; the North Dragon King's actions can almost be considered an attempt to destroy the entire Void Ancient Dragon Clan.

He is simply a deranged lunatic!

"You stinking brat! This King originally didn't intend to go this far, but you are truly too much. Since you're pressing so hard, don't blame this King for being ruthless!" The North Dragon King let out a wild laugh.

"Bastard! Lunatic!" A chill appeared in Zi Yan's eyes, and she fiercely swung the Dragon Slaying Sword in her hand.

Clang! Clang!

The next second, a series of metallic clashing sounds quietly emerged and reverberated.

Many gazes swept over, their eyes seemingly stung, their pupils slightly contracting.

At some unknown point, a long sword forged from flowing golden liquid had appeared in the North Dragon King's hand.

"Dragon Slaying Sword! He absorbed the blood of the other two Dragon Kings and also manifested a Dragon Slaying Sword!"

"This is bad. He is still continuously absorbing everyone's essence blood. Even the Dragon Slaying Sword can't harm him. The longer this goes on, the stronger he will become!"

"The North Dragon King definitely had this premeditated. This plan targeting East Dragon Island was his conspiracy!"

Panicked voices rose and fell. Seeing figures being turned into bloody mist and drifting towards the North Dragon King, everyone present panicked.

Many soldiers and Elders showed expressions of regret and remorse in their eyes and on their faces.

Clashing continuously, the golden long swords collided, constantly erupting with astonishing sounds.

Zi Yan panted slightly, glancing at Lin Xiu with some worry. A large portion of the power of the Dragon Slaying Sword in her hand came from Lin Xiu, consuming his vitality.

Originally, Zi Yan wanted to finish the fight quickly, but she never expected that she had still underestimated the North Dragon King's treachery and ruthlessness.

He actually used the Dragon Transformation Demonic Formation to absorb the other two Dragon Kings and manifest a Dragon Slaying Sword.

The Dragon Transformation Demonic Formation would continuously convert the people within the Formation into flesh and blood to replenish the North Dragon King's energy.

He could afford to drag it out, but Zi Yan couldn't. She was afraid Lin Xiu wouldn't be able to hold on.

But with both wielding the Dragon Slaying Sword, neither could do anything to the other at this moment.

"North Dragon King, you beast, you don't even spare your allies!" Zi Yan's eyes were practically spitting fire.

The monstrous North Dragon King didn't care, instead cackling, "Heh heh, those two wastes were already severely injured by you and are useless. Although this King devoured them, I will avenge them."

In just a moment, the North Dragon King's strength had already reached the Middle Stage of Four-Star Dou Sheng, surpassing Zi Yan in Realm.

Wielding the Dragon Slaying Sword, Zi Yan gradually fell into a disadvantage against the North Dragon King's frenzied attacks.

After realizing the situation was dire, the other Elders had already begun to act, gathering everyone and using Dou Qi energy to protect the weaker soldiers, preventing them from being corroded by the power of the Dragon Transformation Demonic Formation.

But judging from how quickly their barriers were turning transparent, they clearly wouldn't last much longer.

Clang!

A sword swept horizontally, and Zi Yan blocked it with her sword, her expression instantly changing.

Not good!

The power coming from the sword had already surpassed hers!

The long sword was knocked aside, revealing an opening, and then a bloody giant hand shot out from the gap.

Seeing the giant hand descend, Zi Yan was a bit too late to defend and gritted her teeth, intending to take the blow head-on.

Just then, a figure suddenly flashed, shooting like light, directly interposing himself between the giant hand and Zi Yan.

"Lin Xiu, no!"

Zi Yan hadn't finished speaking when the back in front of her collided with her, pushing them both back nearly a hundred zhang before finally neutralizing the force and stopping.

Quickly retracting the Dragon Slaying Sword, Zi Yan supported Lin Xiu with a panicked expression, "How are you? Are you alright?"

In the distance, a hint of mockery flashed in the North Dragon King's eyes, "How touching."

"If he's hurt, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!" Zi Yan looked at him with icy eyes.

"I'm fine." Lin Xiu wiped the corner of his mouth, tilting his head to look at his shoulder. On the exposed skin, there was a bloody palm print, and dark red Qi was like a living thing, drilling into his body.

"Kid, you probably don't know the horror of Dragon Transformation Blood Qi. Even with Zi Yan's Dragon Phoenix Physique, she wouldn't feel good after a blow like that from this King. And you actually say you're fine." The North Dragon King said with a triumphant laugh.

Originally, if the two of them teamed up, he might have some trouble dealing with them.

But Lin Xiu voluntarily took the blow for Zi Yan. With his human body, his combat power now probably couldn't even unleash half of its potential.

And after he absorbed some more Blood Qi, breaking through to Five-Star Dou Sheng would be easy. At that time, he could easily crush the two of them in terms of Realm.

Hearing the North Dragon King's words, Zi Yan's eyes shimmered with crystal light, as if pearls were about to fall the next second.

"I'm really fine. Don't listen to his nonsense. Don't you believe my words?" Lin Xiu showed a smile on his face.

Only to see purplish-brown flames suddenly surge from within his body, spreading beneath his skin and moving towards his shoulder.

Those Blood Qi, which had originally intended to invade, were forced back by the flames, instantly turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing from Lin Xiu's body.

"..." The North Dragon King's laughter abruptly stopped, a little startled, "Otherworldly Flame?"

Lin Xiu ignored him, instead cupping Zi Yan's face, staring into her eyes, and gently brushing her disheveled purple hair behind her ear.

"Your Majesty Dragon Emperor, leave the rest to me." He said softly.

For some reason, even though Lin Xiu's voice wasn't particularly passionate or hysterical, it was precisely this calm voice that gave Zi Yan immense confidence.

"Be careful." She gently rubbed Lin Xiu's palm with her somewhat flushed cheek.

Seeing Lin Xiu turn to look at him, the North Dragon King said coldly, "Boastful brat, you want to face this King alone?"

On the surface, he seemed unconcerned, but in reality, his vigilance was at its highest.

Because when Lin Xiu looked at him, his heart wildly warned him, as if he was being targeted by something extremely dangerous.

This inexplicable fear, the North Dragon King couldn't for the life of him figure out why.

So the North Dragon King accelerated the operation of the Grand Formation.

As long as his Realm could improve, in the face of absolute power suppression, all crises would cease to exist.

However.

Would Lin Xiu not know this? How could he easily let him have his way?

Looking at the opponent, Lin Xiu raised his hands, tracing an arc, then clasped his palms together, stopping them at his chest.
