[MXTX] Three Times the Love

The Finale

"San Lang!" Xie Lian was shocked.

He wanted to go rush and check up on his lover, but instead, he was swept over by a tremendous energy. It felt like the sky was pressing down on him, oppressing him, and ruling over him. Xie Lian, too, was flung into the nearest boulder.

Shen Qingqiu was rooted on the spot.

He watched how the malicious dragon loomed overhead. It just stayed up in the dark sky, with its long and scaled body levitating. Its tail moved back and forth, as if debating whether or not to demolish the three couples into mere dust.

The malicious dragon didn't move much.

It just breathed out from its nostrils, then utilizing the air, it slammed both Hua Cheng and Xie Lian into the nearest boulders.

Hua Cheng heaved from the pressure.

The malicious dragon only needed to breathe, and the Ghost King could be defeated instantly! Hua Cheng didn't care. He got up, and ran over to check on his lover. Xie Lian coughed up dust, with dirt seamlessly muddying his white robes.

Luo Binghe frowned.

The remaining two couples ran over, checking up on both the Crown Prince and Ghost King's condition. "This isn't good." Wei Wuxian stated.

"No shit, Sherlock." Shen Qingqiu muttered underneath his breath.

They turned to look at the malicious dragon, who just loomed in the air with a lazy aura. How could they defeat a heavenly being...?

"Maybe we can convince it to leave." Lan Zhan came up with an idea.

"...how?" Luo Binghe opposed.

All of a sudden, the ground trembled. The malicious dragon let out a feisty roar, which was capable of shaking both the mountains and oceans at once. Then, it swooped down.

"Dodge it!" Hua Cheng gritted his teeth.

The three couples darted away. In the nick of time, they avoided the malicious dragon's body slam. The earth cracked, and hints of lava rumbled underneath. The smell of molten rocks had permeated in the air, with a disgusting odour of the malicious dragon's hot breath.

The malicious dragon was angry.

It let out a roar, then breathed out fire. An ocean of hot seeping flames had spewed all over the ground, demolishing the grass until they dwindled unto ashes.

Wei Wuxian held his breath, as he felt his world shaking.

The healthy soil had been burnt into magma, looking like a solid plate of hard black rock; igneous. The smell of burnt ashes had lingered in the air, reminding the three couples of the pure destruction, which only seemed to make the tension solidify and rise even higher.

"It's attacking us," Luo Binghe said, "It looks like we don't have a choice but to fight back."

After hearing him, the three couples quickly separated into different directions. They all ran towards the malicious dragon, as if their thoughts were connected and relayed onto one another.

"Go!" Shen Qingqiu threw his fan outwards, with a whoosh of breeze sweeping by.

Luo Binghe easily stepped onto the fan, projecting himself higher up. Instantly, Luo Binghe had jumped high enough to reach the malicious dragon.

He unsheathed his Zhengyang sword, then pointed it at the malicious dragon—

As if sensing a dangerous presence, the malicious dragon let out a defensive snort. In merely a short second, Luo Binghe felt like he was swept away by a hurricane!
