Chapter 428: Shui Yuefei and the Third Flower Lord
–Myriad Spirit Flower Ring, Third Ring
Within a hidden grove, the Silver Forged Steel Dragon, its silver scales stripped bare, its body bruised and battered, knelt in submission.
Having been soundly defeated by the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, it was no match for the combined forces of the Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa and the Nether Spring Narcissus.
Gong Lianyue, her arms crossed, stood before the naked, silver dragon woman, a slightly exasperated expression on her face.
She had intended to interrogate it and then… dispose of its core, but it had surrendered so quickly, so pathetically… She almost felt bad.
“Alright, I’ve memorized your current state. If you dare to report this incident, I’ll broadcast it throughout the Ten Sacred Domains,” she threatened.
Hearing Shui Yuefei’s words, the Silver Forged Steel Dragon nodded frantically, tears streaming down its face, the picture of a disgraced maiden.
If this image of it, naked and kneeling, were to spread throughout the spirit world, its reputation would be ruined. Even its own subordinates would lose all respect.
“With your level of power, you shouldn’t even be here. Aren’t you afraid your offspring will be… plant-like?”
“Scram.”
After a brief reprimand and a swift kick to the dragon woman’s backside, Gong Lianyue sent it on its way.
As the Silver Forged Steel Dragon fled, Gong Lianyue adjusted her appearance and flew towards the Third Ring.
The Silver Forged Steel Dragon was even stronger than Tianhe Nu, one of the Three Celestial Seats. She wondered how the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower was faring…
Meanwhile, high above the Third Ring…
The little fox’s earlier, awe-inspiring transformation had sent the flowers and grasses into a frenzy, the new Ten Prison Flowers’s power undeniable, even the legendary flower attendant was filled with admiration.
The Ten Prison Flowers were truly invincible, even the Seven Killing Blades were no match for them!!!
The Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, the Third Flower Lord!
However, just as the little fox, weakened from its transformation, was basking in its victory, a massive vortex suddenly appeared behind it.
Crack—
The dark vortex, like a monstrous maw, its edges swirling, amidst the terrified screams of countless flowers and grasses, swallowed the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower whole, the sky itself seeming to be devoured.
The legendary flower attendant beside it, unable to react, was swept away by the shockwave, thrown thousands of kilometers, disappearing from sight.
The entire Third Ring trembled, the sky and earth shattering, the vines and petals of the cradle crumbling.
Boom!!!
A terrifying hurricane, like a natural disaster, sent countless flowers and grasses flying.
At this moment, the sixth member of the Seven Killing Blades, hidden until now, emerged from the vortex. A massive hippopotamus, its body larger than half the Third Ring itself!
This black hippopotamus was more than fifty times larger than the Silver Forged Steel Dragon, its grotesque, bloated form casting a dark shadow over the entire Third Ring.
The Second Blade of the Seven Killing Blades, the Gluttonous Concubine!!!
Compared to the Silver Forged Steel Dragon, the Fourth Blade, this black hippopotamus radiated a far more terrifying aura, a Setting Sun Stage legendary being, far stronger than Huan Chanfei or Biyufei, whom Gong Lianyue had previously defeated.
“So this is a Ten Prison Flowers? Doesn’t taste very good…”
Crunch—
Just as the black hippopotamus sneered, its massive head was engulfed by a giant sunflower.
The Great Throat Noble Wasabi’s illusory form swallowed the Gluttonous Concubine whole, the little fox, covered in blood, falling onto its petal spirit diagram.
The Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, curled up on its petal, its aura weak, its expression, however, still fierce.
“Chirp~~~~”
“Hahahahaha, that’s it! Let’s eat each other!!!”
As the Gluttonous Concubine laughed, its shattered body rapidly regenerated, a new, grotesque head emerging.
A Setting Sun Stage legendary being, its body practically immortal, a few bites wouldn’t stop it.
Its massive jaws unhinged, expanding like a bottomless pit, swallowing the Great Throat Noble Wasabi whole.
Crunch—
Crunch—
Crunch—
Flesh and blood flew, the sky shattered.
The Gluttonous Concubine and the little fox, using their spirit diagrams to manifest the Great Throat Noble Wasabi, devoured each other, the deafening crunching and tearing sounds echoing throughout the Third Ring.
And with each bite, each chunk of the Great Throat Noble Wasabi’s illusory form devoured, the little fox coughed up blood, its face growing paler.
After several such exchanges, the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower finally collapsed, its petal spirit diagram shattering, its heart-shaped eyes closing.
For a high-rank spirit beast, to have lasted this long against a Setting Sun Stage, titled legendary being, was a remarkable feat, a battle that would be remembered in the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring.
The Gluttonous Concubine, its massive jaws snapping shut, devoured the remaining fragments of the little fox’s spirit diagram.
“…”
“…”
“Hahahahaha, I’ve defeated the Third Flower Lord of the Ten Prison Flowers!!!”
After a moment of silence, the Gluttonous Concubine burst into laughter, its voice booming.
Then, its massive eyes widened, its gaze drawn to a figure in the distance.
A blue-haired woman in a transparent bathrobe, her expression gentle, was placing the unconscious little fox into her cleavage.
A reunion, barely half a month after their battle in the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate. Gong Lianyue now bore the title of Water Moon Concubine, and the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower had become the Third Flower Lord of the Ten Prison Flowers.
At this moment, as Shui Yuefei gently stroked the delicate little fox, her soft voice sent a chill down the Gluttonous Concubine’s spine.
“We… are no longer afraid of any opponent, are we…?”
