The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 154

Ruan Li's Nine Dragon Formula was operating at its peak, her mane flying in the wind with a commanding presence.

Thanks to her previous body tempering at the Tianyan Sect, Ruan Li's physical strength was superior to that of ordinary dragons. Although she occasionally took hits during the hard clash with Mo Yan, her injuries were not severe.

Lu Qingci sat on the ground cross-legged, supported by Su Yu, her eyes filled with anxiety as she watched Ruan Li and struggled to suppress the barrier within her.

Having previously practiced dual cultivation with Ruan Li, some of Ruan Li's spiritual energy remained within Lu Qingci. Lu Qingci had an inkling about the barrier and tried to mobilize that trace of spiritual energy to test it.

"System, how long can Ah Li hold on?" Lu Qingci's forehead was drenched in sweat, and her lips trembled slightly from pain.

"Her demonic energy is being suppressed, and the malevolent thoughts mixed with the spiritual energy inside her are also being held down. Currently, she can only use the power of the golden dragon's bloodline to suppress Mo Yan. The difference in their levels is too great; at most, she can hold on for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

Hearing this, Lu Qingci held her breath, her internal spiritual energy flowing rapidly.

As the spiritual energy nourished her, she could clearly feel the intense pain within her body easing. It was indeed effective.

Meanwhile, Su Yu quickly took out a pill and fed it to her. Lu Qingci adjusted her breathing, trying to regain her strength.

Ruan Li and Mo Yan were battling fiercely in the sky, with demonic energy rolling endlessly. Lu Qingci could only see the intertwining of the reddish-golden figure and the black dragon. It was evident that Ruan Li was at a disadvantage in terms of speed and strength. What worried her most was that Ruan Li, who originally had a golden-red color, was now tainted with black demonic energy, clearly being eroded by it.

In the sky, Ruan Li clashed with Mo Yan again. Mo Yan's front claws locked with Ruan Li's, and his dragon head slammed into hers. Ruan Li was knocked away, momentarily dazed.

Mo Yan's freed claws aimed directly at Ruan Li's reverse scales. He had already noticed that Ruan Li had given the reverse scales to Lu Qingci.

The loss of the reverse scales, a critical spot for dragons, made Ruan Li's back chill. She quickly turned and swung her dragon tail to block, barely protecting the reverse scales. However, Mo Yan's dragon claws pierced through her tail.

"Ridiculous, you actually gave the reverse scales to your father's enemy. You truly deserve to die."

As Mo Yan spoke, his claws tightened, and blood spurted out violently.

Ruan Li let out a pained roar and twisted her head to release a blast of dragon flames.

Mo Yan ducked and then dove down, spiraling upward. He used his flight to throw Ruan Li out.

Lu Qingci, hearing the pained and angry dragon roar from below, could no longer endure. Ignoring her incomplete recovery, she rushed up and reached out to Su Yu. "Ah Yu, lend me the sword."

Su Yu wanted to stop her but couldn't bring herself to say anything. Seeing it was Ruan Li, she could only hand over the Jade Bamboo with reddened eyes.

Lu Qingci caught the Jade Bamboo and used a teleportation to catch Ruan Li with a burst of spiritual energy.

Seeing her reappear, Ruan Li, enduring the pain, turned to look at her. She was breathing heavily, with blood stains at the corners of her mouth. "Master, why did you come? Your barrier?"
