250: "Ancient Celestial Dragon"

However, the moment the Divine Thought touched the pond water—

"Roar—!!!"

A deafening roar, filled with majesty and fury, exploded from the bottom of the pond like a thunderclap!

Terrifying sound waves mixed with extreme cold, instantly sweeping through the entire Cold Pond!

The calm surface of the pond instantly exploded with countless ice crystals!

Everyone felt their eardrums sting and their Divine Souls shake; they hurriedly circulated their Yuan Qi to protect their bodies,

only then barely managing to withstand the roar that contained a spiritual shock!

"Humans! Leave at once! Otherwise, die!"

A cold, majestic thought with an ancient flavor rang out directly within everyone's Sea of Consciousness!

It was filled with an unquestionable warning!

It’s here! The guardian! And it can speak human language via telepathy; its intelligence is extremely high!

Everyone's hearts tightened. Instead of retreating, they became even more vigilant, gripping their weapons in their hands.

Xiao Huohuo also put away his playful grin and stood ready for battle.

Seeing that the warning was ineffective, the terrifying existence at the bottom of the pond seemed to be completely enraged!

The entire Cold Pond seemed to boil! The pond water swirled frantically,

forming a massive vortex dozens of zhang in diameter!

In the center of the vortex, a terrifying and suffocating Aura was rapidly rising!

Bone-chilling mist spread out, freezing the surrounding rocks into thick layers of ice!

The grandeur of its appearance was actually no less than that of the earlier Lava Behemoth!

"It's coming out! Watch out!"

Yue Shan growled, holding his giant axe in front of him as his earthy-yellow Yuan Qi surged.

Han Yun's Jade Fall Green Vine Bow was already drawn, its arrowhead locked onto the center of the vortex.

Yao Delong's Burning Silence Sword flared with fire, while Lin Qingxue was surrounded by ice crystals,

and Xiao Huohuo and Lin Shishi also condensed their strongest offensive Spell.

Everyone held their breath, preparing for the arrival of a terrifying beast!

The water in the center of the vortex suddenly exploded!

A beam of white light shot into the sky!

And then... everyone was stunned.

The expected sky-blotting behemoth did not appear.

Instead, there was a... well, a small and exquisite creature, its entire body covered in fine, snow-white scales.

It had two small, translucent jade horns on its head, and its body was barely a zhang long.

With a hint of ice-blue at the tip of its tail... the Little White Flood Dragon was hovering in mid-air.

It tried its best to hold its small head high, attempting to strike a majestic pose.

Its large, ice-blue eyes, like the purest sapphires, stared warily and with a hint of nervousness at the "intruders" on the shore.

Its appearance, rather than being a Vicious Beast,

was more like a meticulously carved work of art, so cute that one wanted to give it a squeeze.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Huohuo was the first to lose it, bursting out laughing.

"Hahaha! I thought it was some primordial behemoth! And yet this little thing came out?

All that commotion really gave me a fright!"

"Little thing?!"

The Little White Flood Dragon's scales instantly bristled!

She spun around in the air in anger, the tip of her tail curling up.

Her ice-blue eyes widened, and she retorted in a crisp, tender voice like that of a little girl, exasperated:

"You're the little thing! Your whole family are little things! This King is a descendant of the Ancient Heavenly Flood Dragon!

My Bloodline is noble! You ants, leave quickly! Or else... or else this King will not be polite!"

She tried hard to imitate an ancient and majestic tone, but that soft, childish voice and her petite size

lacked any real intimidation, instead making her look even more adorably dorky.

Yao Delong's lips couldn't help but twitch as he suppressed a smile, getting straight to the point:

"Hand over those three Nine-Leaf Ice Heart Lotuses behind you, and we will leave immediately."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the Little White Flood Dragon instantly became anxious. She pointed her small claws at the Nine-Leaf Ice Heart Lotus, her voice rising an octave:

"Impossible! Those are mine! This King has been waiting here for a full hundred years!

They are just about to ripen! How can I easily hand them over to you bandits!"

"Bandits?"

Han Yun's cold voice rang out, carrying a hint of chilliness.

"Treasures of heaven and earth belong to those destined to have them. If you won't hand them over, then let's settle this with our skills."

She slightly adjusted the Green Vine Bow in her hand, the arrowhead locking onto the Little White Flood Dragon.

"Humph! If you want to fight, then fight! Do you think this King is afraid of you!"

The Little White Flood Dragon snorted with false bravado, puffing out her small chest as cold Qi surged around her, seemingly preparing a big move.

"Attack!" Yao Delong wasted no more words and gave the command!

"Golden Rain: Evil Breaker!" Han Yun was the first to strike!

The bowstring vibrated repeatedly as dozens of brilliant, incomparably sharp gold-attribute arrows

tore through the cold air like a torrential rain, instantly blanketing the Little White Flood Dragon's vital points!

"Roar!" The Little White Flood Dragon let out a tender roar, and her size suddenly surged!

She swelled from a zhang long to seven or eight zhang; although still nowhere near as massive as the Lava Behemoth, she was quite imposing!

The cold Qi around her intensified, condensing into a thick ice crystal shield in an attempt to block the rain of arrows.

However, how sharp were Han Yun's arrows?

The ice crystal shield was instantly riddled with holes!

"Earth Bind: Rock Prison!" Yue Shan seized the opportunity and slammed both palms onto the ground!

Countless thick rock arms burst from the ground,

coiling like giant pythons around the White Flood Dragon in mid-air, instantly locking her massive body in place!

"Pure Yang Infinity: Long River Piercing the Sun!"

The Burning Silence Sword in Yao Delong's hand erupted with a blinding crimson-gold light.

A concentrated sword beam, refined to the extreme and seemingly capable of piercing heaven and earth,

slashed fiercely toward the bound White Flood Dragon with an Aura that could incinerate all things!

"Seven Glacial Souls: Frost Congealment!"

Lin Qingxue swung her ice soul sword, and countless bone-chilling ice soul sword Qi arrived first despite being launched later,

precisely covering the area on the White Flood Dragon targeted by Yao Delong's sword beam.

The extreme cold instantly froze and weakened her surface defenses!

"Fire Cloud Palm!"

"Water Tornado!"

Xiao Huohuo and Lin Shishi's long-range attacks arrived at the same time!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several powerful attacks struck the White Flood Dragon, which was bound by rock arms

and had part of her defenses frozen by the ice soul sword Qi, almost simultaneously!

"Awooo—!!!"

The expected earth-shattering collision did not occur; instead, there was a miserable, tearful howl of pain!

The seven-to-eight-zhang-long White Flood Dragon had her scales sent flying by the blast; although her defense wasn't broken, it hurt!

Ice crystal fragments splattered everywhere, and her massive body writhed and struggled violently in the air, tears nearly bursting out!

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! It hurts this King so much!

Wuwuwu... I'll give them to you! I'll give them all to you! Stop it now!"

She wailed while twisting desperately, trying to break free from the rock arms' restraint.

In that state, where was the prestige of the self-proclaimed "descendant of the Ancient Heavenly Flood Dragon" from just moments ago?

It was the spitting image of a poor little thing that had been bullied miserably!

Yao Delong and the others: "..."

The group, who had been aggressively preparing for a great battle, all froze in their tracks, their expressions becoming extremely strange.

This... this contrast was just too great!

Its entrance was grand, it could speak, and it called itself King, but once they fought... that was it? That was it?!

Everyone looked at each other, seeing a mixture of laughter and tears in each other's eyes.

However, they also keenly sensed the extraordinary nature of this Little White Flood Dragon—she could speak,

her intelligence was high, and her Bloodline was definitely extraordinary!

It's just... she seemed to still be in her infancy? Her strength was severely inconsistent with her "Overbearing Aura."
