353: Chapter 353 Sacrifice

However.

Facing such bait thrown out by the Black Dragon.

Bai Suzhen, standing amidst the ruins, slightly raised her exquisitely beautiful and cold face, letting out a cold snort filled with disdain.

"Hmph!"

Bai Suzhen's white robes fluttered violently as she gazed at the Black Dragon with icy, phoenix-like eyes.

"Even a tiger will not devour its own cubs."

"You old loach who has lived for ten thousand years, to think you would commit such a horrific act against your own flesh and blood for the sake of your own selfish desires?"

"What if you are in the Mahayana Realm? What if you are a True Dragon?"

"You have lost even the most basic sense of shame and humanity. Even if you ascend to the Immortal Realm, you are nothing more than a beast draped in immortal aura."

Bai Suzhen slowly pulled the jade hairpin from her hair bun, her long, dark tresses dancing wildly in the gale.

She turned her head and cast a deep, lingering look at Su Chen, who was being held in Xiao Qing's arms.

"I am his master."

"As his master, even if I am reduced to smithereens and my soul is extinguished, I will absolutely never do something like you, a beast."

"Xiao Qing, take Chen'er and go! Do not look back!"

Bai Suzhen shouted sternly.

In young Su Chen's trembling gaze.

The master who always gently fed him spiritual milk and liked to wear a gentle, tender smile, transformed in an instant.

She turned into a Heaven-Swallowing Giant Python, hundreds of feet long and snow-white all over.

With a hiss, she soared into the sky.

Without a shred of fear, she charged straight at the ancient Black Dragon, whose size was several times larger than her own, to engage in a desperate struggle.

"You ungrateful wench."

"Since you are courting death, this venerable one will grant your wish!"

The Black Dragon was furious.

He opened his gaping maw.

A blast of Dragon Qi erupted with a roar.

Both were powerful Great Demons.

In just a single encounter.

The two massive figures, one white and one black, blotting out the sky, collided violently high above the nine heavens.

The commotion caused by their battle was truly immense.

When the shockwaves touched the mountain peaks within a hundred-mile radius, they silently crumbled into dust filling the sky.

But.

Although Bai Suzhen's strength was formidable, she had ultimately not taken that final step of crossing the river to become a dragon.

The suppression of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm over the Mahayana Realm was an insurmountable chasm.

After only a dozen rounds of combat.

Bai Suzhen's white body was torn open by the Black Dragon's sharp claws, leaving a wound dozens of feet long!

She let out a painful muffled groan.

Her massive body was struck by the Black Dragon's tail whip, slamming heavily into a remaining isolated peak.

The entire mountain peak collapsed with a thunderous crash.

"Master——!!!"

Su Chen, held in Xiao Qing's arms, could not help but shout loudly when he saw this scene.

"Let me go, Aunt Qing."

"Let me go!"

"I want to go help Master, you come with me to help Master too, Master will die, she will really die!!!"

How could he watch helplessly as the woman who was as gentle as water and protected him like the apple of her eye was torn alive by that evil dragon for his sake?

However, he possessed only the weak body of the Golden Core Realm.

In front of the Integration Realm Great Demon Xiao Qing, he had absolutely no room to resist.

Xiao Qing held him tightly.

Watching the white snake in the sky being one-sidedly crushed by the Black Dragon, yet still charging up fearlessly again and again to entangle him, her heart felt no better than Su Chen's.

After all, that was her own sister with whom she had relied on for survival for ten thousand years!

But she could not look back.

She could not let her sister's life be sacrificed in vain.

"I'm sorry, Chen'er."

Xiao Qing bit her lip and abruptly raised her hand like a blade.

Without a moment's hesitation, she struck precisely on the back of Su Chen's fragile neck.

"Urgh..."

Su Chen only felt his vision go black, his body went limp as he fell into Xiao Qing's arms, and he fainted.

Xiao Qing resisted the urge to look back, and strapped the unconscious Su Chen onto her own back.

Then, she recklessly ignited her Integration Realm cultivation.

Turning into a streak of green light, she skimmed across the ground.

In the direction away from the battlefield, she exerted the fastest speed of her life and fled.

"Want to run?"

"Die!"

"Give this venerable one the Great Medicine!"

The Black Dragon's keen divine sense detected the movement of Xiao Qing fleeing with Su Chen.

He roared in frustration.

His massive body twisted.

He was about to abandon Bai Suzhen and chase in the direction Xiao Qing was fleeing.

"Old loach, your opponent is me!"

At this critical moment, in the ruins below.

The blood-soaked white giant shadow, just smashed down by the Black Dragon's tail, soared into the sky once more.

Bai Suzhen completely abandoned all defense.

She ignited all the cultivation within her body at this moment.

With all of Bai Suzhen's power burning, her combat effectiveness surged.

Her cultivation transformed into chains, tightly wrapping around the Black Dragon's massive body.

Bai Suzhen gritted her silver teeth.

Those chains gouged fiercely into the most vulnerable parts between the Black Dragon's scales.

"You're crazy! You are fucking crazy!"

The Black Dragon was halted by this completely suicidal tactic.

The intense pain made him twist his body frantically.

Sharp dragon claws also tore into Bai Suzhen's body.

Large chunks of flesh and white scales fell like raindrops.

But under Bai Suzhen's desperate, life-risking entanglement.

Even though the Black Dragon's strength far exceeded hers.

He was unable to break free from the shackles she had laid in a short time.

He could only watch helplessly as that streak of green light fled further and further away, finally disappearing completely from his divine sense range.

This double blow caused the Black Dragon to completely lose his composure.

"Roar——!"

"Wench, you have ruined this venerable one's great plan."

"This venerable one will make you wish for death!"

The Black Dragon was furious to the extreme.

But after his anger subsided, he thought of a way to turn the tables.

Forget it.

Let him run.

So what if he runs?

That little bastard's body flowed with his True Dragon blood.

That connection of bloodlines was a law of heaven and earth.

No matter where he fled to the ends of the earth, he could accurately drag him out.

Even if that guy escaped, he would absolutely never escape his palm.

Since that was the case, he would wholeheartedly solve this annoying white snake in front of him first.

To take her Heaven-Swallowing White Python core.

To slightly make up for the temporary loss of the Great Medicine.

...

This earth-shattering, heaven-weeping battle raged from morning until late at night.

The foundation of a Mahayana Realm True Dragon was truly too terrifying.

Having experienced several hours of high-intensity slaughter, the Black Dragon's consumption was not significant.

He still maintained about seventy percent of his peak combat power.

However, Bai Suzhen was already completely exhausted.

Her massive body was now broken and unrecognizable.

Over ninety percent of her scales had been stripped away, revealing raw flesh.

In these last few hours, Bai Suzhen seemed to be deliberately performing some kind of pointless delay.

She was like a rag without feeling.

Letting the Black Dragon's dragon breath pierce her body again and again.
