Lin Yun had only then realized the flaw in Bai Jiaojiao's plan.
When Ao Gong was still only a Dragon Soul, he was able to draw people carrying Dragon Qi from thousands of miles away into the Dragon Tomb. Was this the act of a human?
Now, he couldn't possibly have that slim chance of survival; escaping was indeed futile.
Lin Yun squatted down, stabbed his sword into the ground to support himself, barely preventing being sucked in, while at this time, Bai Jiaojiao's neck had already been grasped by Ao Gong's dragon claw.
Ao Gong, however, stopped that strange sucking force and, holding Bai Jiaojiao, flicked her towards Lin Yun like swinging a whip.
Lin Yun executed his Fire Escape to dodge, but Bai Jiaojiao's tail smashed into the ground, shedding some of her scales.
For Ao Gong to kill them was too simple, but he seemed to be toying with them like a cat with a mouse.
Lin Yun had cut his egg, and the fury in Ao Gong's heart was indescribable. How could he relieve his hatred if he didn't thoroughly torment Lin Yun to death?
Now Bai Jiaojiao was the one suffering. Every time Lin Yun dodged, her body was equivalent to being smashed into the ground and the walls.
At first, she cried out in pain, but now she was barely clinging to life.
Ao Gong had intended to toy with Lin Yun, but got irritated when his attacks failed to land. He casually threw Bai Jiaojiao aside and followed up with a blast of Dragon Flame onto her.
This time, however, Lin Yun didn't dodge as before. He caught Bai Jiaojiao, spun a few times in the air to dissipate the force, before landing on the ground.
This move was Lin Yun's flexible application of the technique of catching and dissipating force.
Bai Jiaojiao fell into Lin Yun's arms, quickly reverted to her human form, her white dress now dyed red with blood, her consciousness somewhat blurred.
The Dragon Flame was burning inside her, and she knew she didn't have much longer to live.
She just hadn't expected that this time, in search of an opportunity, all three sisters would perish in the Dragon Tomb.
"It's a pity, we can't fulfill our agreement. Otherwise, I would have liked to taste what a man is all about," she said.
In her dying moments, Bai Jiaojiao even joked with Lin Yun.
After a thousand years of cultivation, Bai Jiaojiao had faced countless life and death crises. Before she became a demon, she struggled to survive in the wild. It was her extraordinary talent and some chances that allowed her to cultivate into a demon.
After becoming a demon, she yearned to become a dragon due to the desires in her bloodline.
Now, she did indeed get to witness a True Dragon.
The majestic power of a True Dragon was truly terrifying.
In the Demon Tribe, she was a Demon King, renowned in the Demon Domain, but in front of a True Dragon, she was like a little snake, completely powerless.
She had taught Ao Gong a lesson as well.
Dragons are born dragons.
This was probably fate!
Seeking the Dao all her life and dying on the path of seeking—this could be considered a good start and a good end.
However, looking back on her life, it seemed too monotonous.
But she had no regrets.
"I think you might still be saved," said Lin Yun.
Lin Yun knew Bai Jiaojiao was affected by the Dragon Flame, and he had no other method, but he wanted to try to draw the Dragon Flame from her body into his own.
It was a risky thing to do, but since there was no way to run now, he might as well try.
He didn't know which was more potent, the Golden Red Fire Seed in his body or the Dragon Flame.
Yet Lin Yun wasn't sure exactly how to draw it out; after all, as his time in cultivation was short, his knowledge was limited, so he had to try as Dongfang Hongyue did before, and suck with his mouth.
Seeing Lin Yun lean in to kiss her, Bai Jiaojiao was momentarily stunned.
My god, is this man still lustful even on the brink of death?
It doesn't matter; since we're going to die, let him have his way.
With that thought, Bai Jiaojiao became complacent.
Lin Yun: "???"
Is this demoness really that desperate?
I am trying to save you, and you're secretly lusting after my body!
But Lin Yun quickly understood as well.
Alas, after all, I'm this handsome.
Ignoring Bai Jiaojiao, Lin Yun guided a small cluster of Fire Seed to split off and enter Bai Jiaojiao's body. The Dragon Flame instantly disappeared like a droplet in the ocean without causing even a ripple.
Ah, that's it?
Your Dragon Flame is no good!
Ao Gong had realized that Lin Yun seemed to be trying to save Bai Jiaojiao, and yet he wasn't in a hurry to act. Facing a mortal, he could toy with him as he pleased. He wanted to see Lin Yun's look of despair.
I am the King of Torture!
"You needn't exhaust yourself. The power of Dragon Flame, how could it be resisted by something as lowly as you."
Lin Yun: "?"
I thought you were pretty powerful, but you can't even sense your own fire?
If that's the case...
Lin Yun again passed a breath of Spiritual Energy to Bai Jiaojiao.
Bai Jiaojiao's condition was not good, even if the fire had been extinguished, her internal organs had suffered great damage. Both her external and internal injuries were severe.
In martial hero series, they always pass True Qi to heal injuries, now Spiritual Energy should be pretty much the same.
When the Dragon Flame within Bai Jiaojiao was extinguished, she was completely baffled.
She suddenly realized that she might have misunderstood Lin Yun. He wasn't trying to kiss her; he was healing her.
Then...
Her actions had been so forward, like she was in heat...
How embarrassing.
As Lin Yun passed his Golden Spiritual Liquid into Bai Jiaojiao, she felt an unprecedented pleasure, as if she had ascended above the clouds. Her body felt light, and she instinctively wanted more.
Just when she tried to suckle more, Lin Yun let go of her.
Stopping the injuries was enough for now. He couldn't keep Ao Gong hanging forever, especially after Ao Gong had so arrogantly spoken of his Dragon Eye. This made Lin Yun think of his own vitality and vigor.
For a proud dragon like Ao Gong, provocation was undoubtedly the best approach.
"You say your Dragon Flame is strong? To me, it's nothing special."
Ao Gong's eyes widened, not expecting the insignificant human before him to dare to look down on him.
"If you're not convinced, why don't we compare and see whose fire is more formidable?"
"Ha, a mere mortal dares to measure against a True Dragon!"
"Can't be, right? You wouldn't be scared, would you? After discovering that I've cured my friend of the Dragon Flame, you're afraid to compete. Is this what a True Dragon is? Quite the joke."
Bai Jiaojiao, cradled in Lin Yun's arms, was stunned upon hearing such words.
So impressive, her own provocations were nothing compared to what Lin Yun just did.
At this moment, Ao Gong was indeed infuriated, his body surging with black Qi, and flames starting to emerge from his head.
The true definition of 'steam coming out of one's ears'.
"Very well, human, I will burn you to ashes, but I will keep your soul with me forever to suffer day and night without end!"
"Less talk, let's just take each other's Fire Spell. Whoever can't bear it first, loses. That's fair, isn't it? You can even use your most powerful spell. After all, it's a dead end for us regardless of win or lose, and no one will know if you can't afford to lose."
"How dare you!"
Ao Gong bellowed. As a proud dragon, he couldn't stand being ridiculed and mocked by Lin Yun.
He straightforwardly cast a fireball, a simple one without the enhancement of any spells, just his most basic Dragon Flame.
Lin Yun did the same, casting a regular fireball as well.
Both their attacks were utterly ordinary. It would be easy for Ao Gong to dodge, but he had no intention of evading.
How could a mere mortal's fire harm him?
However, when the flames touched the black Qi around him, Ao Gong suddenly felt an alarm going off in his mind...
