Chapter 220: Asking the World, What is Love? Only Life and Death Compete
For Ye Huan, the Tenth-Level Beast, Hell Dragon Black Yuhua, it was already astonishing enough that she could take on human form and appear here. As for taking action? It was not out of the question, but Ye Huan would never be foolish enough to let Bai Yulin use her as a pawn. Unless Bai Yulin acted first, she would look for an opportunity to strike back, which would make sense.
Noticing Ye Huan's movements, Bai Yulin said nothing but suddenly pulled out a sword over three feet long from seemingly nowhere and lunged at Black Shadow Flower's chest.
"Hey, little Bai Bai, it's been a few days, and you've improved quite a bit! That's good; let me play with you..."
With a smile that concealed her face, Black Shadow Flower paid no mind to Bai Yulin's attack. As the sword was just a few centimeters away from piercing her chest, a faint purple mist began to rise from her body, merging together to perfectly block the attack of Bai Yulin's sword with a crisp clang, like metal clashing. At the same time, beneath Black Shadow Flower's feet, a purple flower suddenly burst forth from the ground, resembling an enchanting rose. Its vibrant and enormous petals quickly enveloped Black Shadow Flower.
Fixated on the large purple flower, not only was Black Shadow Flower's alluring figure obscured, but even her silhouette was hidden behind the petals. Although Bai Yulin's eyes were still filled with hatred, he did not forget to remind Ye Huan and Ye Luo: "You two should find somewhere to hide! If it comes to a fight, I fear you won't be able to withstand the Hell Dragon's attacks."
"Hey, are you underestimating us too much?"
Suddenly unleashing the aura of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, Ye Huan seemed somewhat displeased by Bai Yulin's condescension. While speaking, she drew her Flame Sun Sword. However, one sentence from Bai Yulin froze Ye Huan in place: "Isn't it just a Golden Core Stage Cultivator? In the center of the Northern Liang Mountain Range, countless have already perished!"
"How is that possible? Isn't there a natural Barrier between Jiuzhou and Eastern State that prevents passage?"
Surprised, Ye Huan spoke with skepticism. Yet she had reason to believe that what Bai Yulin said was true; otherwise, how could a beast like him know she was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator? Even Lingxiao, who was also at the Golden Core Stage, likely lacked such means. Compared to him, Bai Yulin's strength must surpass Lingxiao!
Before Bai Yulin could continue speaking, Ye Huan cautiously took two steps back with Ye Luo. Finally remembering to summon a row of Riot Shields deeply embedded into the ground, she let out a sigh of relief. She knew that these two Tenth-Level Beasts before her could see through her strength at a glance and were terrifying existences she currently could not provoke. Perhaps aside from Yu Wuxia and the elders of Yuxu Palace visiting in person, there was no one stronger than them in the entire Nine Provinces Continent.
Just as countless thoughts flashed through Ye Huan's mind, suddenly the large purple rose moved. Its petals unfurled like flowers blooming in all directions, revealing Black Shadow Flower once more before their eyes...
Unlike her previous appearance as an ordinary woman, Black Shadow Flower now had bright red barbs protruding from her body. Her once bare skin was now covered by green armor resembling leaves. Her previously snow-white complexion appeared somewhat waxy now; her eyes resembled those of a cat and would constrict when looking at others.
"What's wrong, little Bai Bai? Did I scare you?"
As she looked around like a newborn, Black Shadow Flower smiled lightly when she saw Bai Yulin take a step back, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Although the charm she had before was gone, there was an undeniable wild beauty about her. Even from a distance, Ye Huan thought that her current appearance was even more alluring than when she was bare-chested. He couldn't help but wonder what she would look like if she truly transformed back into her original form as the Hell Dragon.
Driven by instinct upon seeing a beautiful woman, Bai Yulin licked his dry lips and finally managed to utter, "Yes, you scared me. But as I said, you must die today!"
As soon as the word "die" left his lips, Bai Yulin suddenly threw his sword into the air. The sword split into two mid-flight and shot towards Black Shadow Flower, who had transformed from the Hell Dragon, slicing through the air with blinding white light. Anyone who saw those swords would inevitably think of their master—Bai Yulin!
"You want me dead? You’ll have to wait until I’ve drained you dry first, won’t you?"
While taunting Bai Yulin, Black Shadow Flower solemnly regarded the two swords. After all, this woman who had once assaulted the Holy Dragon knew all too well that these swords were actually transformed from a pair of wings belonging to the Holy Dragon.
With a flick of her delicate hand, two black vines rose from the ground. Controlled by Black Shadow Flower, they twisted around the two swords. The vines were covered in barbs just like her body—each barb about ten centimeters long, pinky-sized, and curved. If they pierced someone, it would be far more painful than being shot multiple times.
"Black Thorn Vines? Black Shadow Flower, isn't your true form the Hell Dragon? How do you possess the skills of the Plant Queen?"
Watching this scene in astonishment while maneuvering the two swords to evade the black thorn vines, Bai Yulin continued to ask questions without realizing that his words had already stirred up a storm in Ye Huan's heart. After all, the Plant Queen was a Tenth-Level Beast, said to control all plants in existence. Her unique abilities were on par with the healing powers of the Holy Dragon and the corrosive abilities of the Hell Dragon. This was precisely what worried Ye Huan.
If a single Tenth Level Magical Beast Sacred Dragon surpassed him, then what about the Hell Dragon? Now there was also a Plant Queen. Suddenly, Ye Huan felt that despite feeling quite powerful on the Nine Provinces Continent, he seemed so weak in front of these magical beasts.
Clenching his fists tightly, Ye Huan resolved that he must improve his strength before Lingxiao arrived in Huaxia three months later. Otherwise, even if he defeated Lingxiao, if a Tenth-Level Beast emerged from some corner, he would still be doomed. This feeling of being so weak was truly frustrating...
Raising his head again and pondering whether he should help Bai Yulin, he heard Black Shadow Flower slowly respond to his question: "The Plant Queen? Hmph! That little fairy has long been killed by me!"
"What! You... you..."
Ding dong...
The sound of swords hitting the ground echoed as Bai Yulin, pointing at Black Shadow Flower, stammered for a long time without managing to say anything coherent. Meanwhile, a cold smile filled Black Shadow Flower's face. Even Ye Huan could see that there was an unspeakable secret between Bai Yulin and that Plant Queen. It wouldn't be surprising if they had once been lovers.
"What about me? Being dragons ourselves, we are much more suited for each other. Who would have thought you'd fall for a dull tree spirit? I truly feel ashamed for having liked you..."
Black Shadow Flower quickly approached Bai Yulin, forcefully swatting his hand aside while angrily questioning him. The intensity of her demeanor resembled that of a madwoman in love, driven to madness by unrequited feelings. In a moment of sheer fury, she slapped Bai Yulin hard across the face, the sharp barbs on her hand leaving a three-inch gash on his handsome visage, blood streaming down.
The blood of the Holy Dragon...
Ye Huan, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly felt a surge of emotion upon seeing the Holy Dragon's blood. Unable to contain himself any longer, he rushed to Bai Yulin's side, attempting to play the mediator. With an air of feigned profundity, he said, "What is love in this world? It only leads to life and death struggles. You two are both of the dragon lineage; can't we find another way to stop this conflict?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Huan tore a small piece of cloth from his clothing and gently began wiping the blood from Bai Yulin's face. His movements were so delicate that if they weren't both men, Black Shadow Flower might have questioned their relationship right then and there.
After cleaning all the blood from Bai Yulin's face, Ye Huan casually stuffed the bloodied cloth into his pocket and continued to persuade him, "Brother Bai, once a person dies, they cannot come back to life. It's better to cherish those who are still here..."
"Once a person dies, they cannot come back to life? Cherish those who are still here?"
Bai Yulin lifted his face, which had been slapped aside by Black Shadow Flower. His eyes were filled with confusion as he muttered to himself. It was evident that the Plant Queen was indeed someone he cared for deeply. Unfortunately for him, Black Shadow Flower also belonged to the dragon lineage and had developed feelings for Bai Yulin. This trivial matter had become the source of all their conflicts.
Ye Huan could only shake his head in helplessness. He exchanged a glance with Black Shadow Flower, signaling her to offer some words of comfort. Finally, Ye Huan turned and walked away without looking back, heading towards Ye Luo in the distance.
With the Holy Dragon's blood secured, there was no reason for him to linger around two Tenth Level Tyrants. Even if he wanted to increase his strength, it didn't have to be done under the watchful eyes of two powerful beings.
He informed Ye Luo about securing the Holy Dragon's blood and quickly made his way back to the Apache Attack Helicopter he had summoned earlier. Without hesitation, he activated it and flew towards the center of the Northern Liang Mountain Range.
