The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 171

Seeing Chu Che in such a state, his subordinates were in disarray, trying to surround him. Luo Qingci leapt forward, gracefully landing in front of them. Her eyes were slightly cold as she scanned them and said, "Facts speak louder than words. Given the situation, if you still persist in stubbornness, don't blame me for being heartless."

As she spoke, Luo Qingci waved her sleeve, unleashing a surge of spiritual power that struck the ground in front of them. The earth split open, causing several people to stagger back.

Luo Qingci's display of power was overwhelming, making the dragons around her change their expressions.

The previous humility shown by Luo Qingci and the unexpected performance of Ruan Li had almost made them forget that Luo Qingci was still the revered Lord Huaizhu, someone whom the entire immortal sect looked up to. Currently, apart from their leader caught in the vortex, no one among the dragons could challenge Luo Qingci.

Luo Qingci had no intention of paying them any more mind. She quickly approached Chu Che.

She glanced at Ruan Li and said softly, "A Li, leave this to me. You should step back."

Chu Che's demonic state had evidently been developing for some time. Although he could still maintain some rationality, his body was heavily infused with demonic energy. If this inadvertently affected Ruan Li, it would be a great loss.

Ruan Li understood her concern but was worried about Luo Qingci's injury. "But Master, your arm?"

"It's just an external injury, no big deal." Luo Qingci's voice fell as she leapt into the air, standing in midair. Spiritual power gathered in her hand, forming a sheet of ice-blue water that shot directly at Chu Che.

Seeing his demonic energy exposed and falling into complete madness, Chu Che roared, transforming into a giant white dragon to break through Luo Qingci's spiritual power, aiming to use his size advantage to suppress her.

As the white dragon descended from above Luo Qingci, she teleported instantly, spinning her body and striking the air with her palm. Using the momentum, she flew upward and switched positions with Chu Che.

She clasped her hands together, golden runes flying from her fingers. At her command, they swirled around Chu Che like a flock of birds.

The runes seemed to be inherently restraining demonic energy. Each time Chu Che's body touched them, his demonic energy sizzled and crackled as if it were being burned, causing him to writhe painfully in the air.

He let out a long roar, turning his body with red eyes and charging toward Luo Qingci with lightning speed. This attack was a last-ditch effort, making Ruan Li's heart race.

Luo Qingci could only catch the gust of wind mixed with fine spiritual blades. Her hands quickly traced a semicircle to the left and right, and the ice-blue spiritual power immediately condensed in front of her.

At the moment Chu Che collided, the ice-blue spiritual power formed a circular shadow, expanding in concentric circles with the impact. The white spiritual light revealed intricate patterns, mesmerizingly beautiful.

The impact was tremendous, and a force exploded from Luo Qingci's palm. Her long hair and clothing flew up, her body sliding backward with the force of Chu Che's charge.

Chu Che's spiritual power, mixed with black, clashed against Luo Qingci's. The confrontation between two mid-level cultivators left the surrounding dragons in awe, while the onlookers quickly moved away.

Luo Qingci seemed to struggle against Chu Che. She was forced to retreat three zhang (about ten meters).

Just as they thought Luo Qingci might be defeated, she stomped heavily with her left leg, twisting her toes and smashing a piece of floor tile. She anchored herself into the ground, resisting the impact.
