Crash!

The enormous Black Flame Flood Dragon churned in the rock pool, each surfacing bringing with it immense flames.

"Black Flame Flood Dragon!" Seeing this monster, everyone's eyes brightened.

"Attack!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the disciples of the Vast Sea Sect unleashed their auras and launched their assault.

Among the group, three disciples waved their right hands simultaneously upon the appearance of the Black Flame Flood Dragon, sending specially forged ropes slithering like Spiritual Snakes to coil around the flood dragon.

Then, with a fierce tug.

Crash!

Amid the rumbling lava, the Black Flame Flood Dragon was forcibly pulled from the pool.

Bang!

The massive body of the flood dragon slammed heavily onto the shore, cracking the ground. Before it could react, Wei Ziping and numerous Vast Sea Sect disciples charged at it, surrounded by swirling sword lights.

Clang!

Sword beams filled the sky, aiming at the Black Flame Flood Dragon.

A series of 'ding ding dang dang' sounds rang out.

What was seen was.

Sword beams striking the flood dragon's body, yet its defense was too formidable. Being a beast that could survive in the rock pool, how could it be ordinary?

The swords and blades merely left a few white marks on its scales without causing much harm.

Roar!

The pained flood dragon roared, scarlet demon energy erupting from its body, transforming into bright red flood dragons that surged towards the crowd.

"Charge!"

Wei Ziping shouted, slicing through the attacking flood dragons with his sword.

For a while, the fight with the Black Flame Flood Dragon was in a stalemate.

The Vast Sea Sect held their ground due to their numbers, but the flood dragon's defense was too strong to easily claim victory.

Seeing this, Ye Qingchen prepared to join the fray.

But Luo Huan quickly stopped him, "Ye Qingchen, don't engage... This Black Flame Flood Dragon is only at the Profound Pill Fourth Layer, but it's as strong as a Profound Pill Fifth Heaven beast. Wei Ziping and the others can handle it!"

Evidently.

She was worried that Ye Qingchen might get hurt due to his insufficient strength.

"Very well!"

Seeing the Black Flame Flood Dragon being suppressed, Ye Qingchen didn't force it. After a moment's reflection, he shouted towards the field, "The scales on the Black Flame Flood Dragon's body are hard; its belly is softer, attack its belly!"

"This kid is treating us like laborers!" An edge of anger appeared in Wei Ziping's eyes, clearly unwilling to let Ye Qingchen stand aside without fighting, as he thrust his sword towards the flood dragon's belly.

"Hmph, with his abilities, how dare he face the Black Flame Flood Dragon? Without us, he'd be dead in the dark forest!" another sword-wielding disciple coldly snorted.

Though others remained silent, they clearly were also displeased with Ye Qingchen's lack of action, despite his commentary from the sidelines.

Moments later.

The Black Flame Flood Dragon was barely holding on. Under the joint effort of the Vast Sea Sect's disciples, its softer belly had become riddled with wounds, visibly reaching its limit.

"This Black Flame Flood Dragon is about to fall!"

Luo Huan, with a hint of joy, quickly glanced at Ye Qingchen.

Yet Ye Qingchen's eyes suddenly flickered, gazing into the distance. His expression drastically changed as he shouted to Wei Ziping and the others, "Something's happening, move quickly!"

"Idiot!"

Wei Ziping glanced at Ye Qingchen, dismissive.

The others remained unmoved.

Evidently.

To them, what could a Profound Pill First Layer nobody possibly notice?

But at that moment...

Whoosh!

A wild aura surged from the forest, followed by a figure swiftly emerging.

"Not good!"

"Someone's lying in ambush nearby! Who are you?"

"A disciple of the Spirit Coffin Sect?"

Wei Ziping and the other disciples' expressions drastically changed at this realization.

No one expected that during this crucial moment of dealing with the Black Flame Flood Dragon, a Spirit Coffin Sect disciple would appear, clearly targeting the flood dragon as well.

After battling for so long, they were on the verge of slaying the flood dragon, how could they hand over their trophy to someone else?

Moreover.

The Vast Sea Sect and the Spirit Coffin Sect had never gotten along.

"Scram!"

Wei Ziping shouted, slashing his sword, emitting a sword light, trying to block the attack.

The others shouted in anger as well.

Clang!

Amid the roar.

A dazzling array of sword light, almost forming a Sword Net, quickly intercepted, blocking the Spirit Coffin Sect disciple.

"How dare you behave insolently in front of me, Shi Jingtian?"

The newcomer laughed wildly, showing no retreat, waving his hand.

In that moment.

A dense series of overlapping sword shadows formed a mountain weighing billions of pounds, slicing towards the Sword Net.

Rip!

The sound of tearing quietly arose.

What was seen was.

The continuous Sword Net was effortlessly torn like paper, a violent Sword Qi sweeping towards Wei Ziping and the others.

Puff!

Almost immediately.

Wei Ziping and the others spat out blood, their bodies blasted backward like cannonballs, crashing dozens of meters away.

Roar!

The Black Flame Flood Dragon, unaware of what had occurred.

For it.

The opponents merely changed from the Vast Sea Sect to Shi Jingtian of the Spirit Coffin Sect.

With a roar, it fiercely lunged at the newcomer.

But its response was a single sword stroke, a radiantly indescribable sword beam. The flood dragon's iron-hard scales were cleaved through as if they were paper.

Screech!

The Black Flame Flood Dragon emitted a heart-wrenching screech.

Amid the spraying blood.

Its body split in two, crashing heavily to the ground.

Silence!

All became deathly silent around the rock pool.

All eyes gaped in awe at the young man, who, in just two moves, had defeated them and slain the Black Flame Flood Dragon.

This level of power was terrifyingly formidable.

"Shi Jingtian!"

"It's Shi Jingtian..."

Suddenly.

A disciple cried out in shock.

This was a top twenty powerhouse of the Spirit Coffin Sect, his cultivation a fearful Profound Core Fourth Heaven. His brother, Shi Potian, was ranked among the top three of the Spirit Coffin Sect and would inevitably become a Silver-ranked powerhouse in the future!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before anyone regained their senses.

Several more figures darted in, all disciples of the Spirit Coffin Sect.

Upon landing, they rudely declared:

"This rock pool is ours! So is this Black Flame Flood Dragon..."

"Disciples of the Vast Sea Sect, get lost!"

"If you don't leave now, you'll end up like the Black Flame Flood Dragon!"

Bitterness filled the hearts of Wei Ziping and his companions.

Originally.

They had secured the Black Flame Flood Dragon, only for Shi Jingtian to disrupt midway. Though capable, they were insignificant before him.

Though resentful, they were helpless.

Wei Ziping struggled to his feet, preparing to leave. Luo Huan's face also bore resignation...

Seeing this, the Spirit Coffin Sect disciples grew even more smug.

In fact.

They approached the Black Flame Flood Dragon, ready to divide the spoils.

However.

Just then, a voice interjected from the side:

"I think it's you, Spirit Coffin Sect, who should be the ones to leave!"
