"Who dares obstruct me? Nevertheless, it's already too late!" The voice of the middle-aged scholar echoed from the black qi, followed by a cold snort.
A loud "boom" emanated from inside the river, and the golden sword array crumbled, exposing a glob of black qi flying out from its core: the dragon head.
The dragon head, circling and moving in mid-air, then plummeted abruptly, blending into the black qi.
"Haha...haha!"
The maniacal laughter of the middle-aged scholar echoed from within the black qi. All the black qi drew back like a whale inhaling water, disappearing quickly and revealing the form of the scholar.
However, the scholar's appearance changed dramatically; he had transformed into a monster with a human body and a dragon head, wearing golden armor.
An unparalleled mighty aura radiated from the dragon-headed monster, far surpassing everyone present.
