Jiuxiao Reaches the Late Stage, A Bloody Battle!

*Roar!!!* Jiuxiao's draconic roar echoed in all directions, heard by every demonic beast across the Heaven-Slaughtering Sea. Under the surging dragon might, all the low-rank beasts lay trembling on the ground; the bloodline suppression of a supreme being was utterly terrifying to demonic beasts. Even the Scarlet Thunder Suanni ahead hesitated, its movement arrested by the dragon might!! And it was this exact pause that Jiuxiao seized, raking its sharp claws violently across!! *Slash!!!* The Scarlet Thunder Suanni's cheek was torn into bloody, mangled flesh in a single blow, its entire face marked by gashes of varying depths. The deepest wound was so deep bone was visible! The massive lion paw crashed down at the same moment. Well aware of how formidable the beast was, Jiuxiao did not choose to take the blow head-on this time, but darted away to evade it. *Boom!!!* The colossal paw struck a high mountain, leveling the entire peak in an instant. The terrifying force caused the earth to fracture for over a thousand zhang! Chunks of earth turned over like boulders, leaving the surrounding terrain unrecognizable as if gouged by a plow. The enraged Scarlet Thunder Suanni roared to the heavens!! That attack had nearly blinded its eyes, and the excruciating agony drove it mad. Bloodlust mounted; as berserk power surged, the surrounding void trembled. The once rock-solid space, akin to an independent world, began to collapse inch by inch!! Meng Wanshu's expression shifted slightly. She had not expected the Scarlet Thunder Suanni's power to be so terrifying! The gap in cultivation realms made the domain she had erected appear extraordinarily fragile before it. She knew she could not stop it from shattering the boundary. "If that is the case..." *Hu...* Meng Wanshu's figure flashed with explosive speed. In a single breath, she split into several afterimages and charged toward the Scarlet Thunder Suanni. Wild gales abruptly whipped up within the domain, instantly spawning thousand-zhang tornadoes! Four thousand-zhang storms tore apart everything in their path as they converged on the white lion! *Rumble!!* *Boom!!!* Wherever the storms passed, space was ripped to countless shreds, and everything on the earth was pulverized. Meanwhile, the four storms completely sealed off the Scarlet Thunder Suanni's routes of retreat!! The Scarlet Thunder Suanni clearly had not anticipated that this woman would possess such terrifying strength. She was merely in the late Void Refining Realm, yet as the snowflake seal on her brow dissipated, her aura had grown so astonishing! *Roar!!!* With a furious roar from the white lion, the berserk aura of a great demon erupted. Dozens of thick bolts of lightning burst from its body, carrying dreadful destructive force as they struck the surrounding storms. *Rumble, crash!!!* Terrifying detonations rang out; almost the moment the lightning exploded, the four storm tornadoes were blasted to pieces!! Shattering, the terrifying storms transformed into a tempest of primal energy that swept across heaven and earth, causing the ambient temperature to plummet! The shockwave of the explosion leveled every mountain within a ten-li radius in an instant!! *Boom!! Rumble!!* Both Jiuxiao and Pengluo were knocked back over a thousand zhang before they managed to steady themselves. Yet that slender, graceful silhouette in midair did not yield an inch. Meng Wanshu's eyes flickered, radiating a vast, majestic pressure nearly equal to the white lion's!! Within breaths, snowflakes of ice began to flutter down from the sky. Meng Wanshu lightly raised her sword. Shifting her footwork, her form morphed in rapid succession until over a hundred afterimages abruptly surrounded the Scarlet Thunder Suanni, all thrusting their blades at once!! "Hundred Severing Frost Slashes!" At that moment, heaven and earth seemed frozen solid, and even the drifting spiritual energy in the air was locked in ice. Over a hundred streaks of frost sword qi erupted!! The white lion roared toward the sky. Trapped by the chaotic storm, it could not move and had no choice but to take the blow head-on! Cold murderous intent filled its eyes; this attack gave it a searing sense of crisis. *Roar!!* The Scarlet Thunder Suanni abruptly reared onto its hind legs. Its twin paws wrapped in lightning, turning into elongated claws of thunder. Standing tall, it lashed out, carving dozens of claw marks! The terrifying thunderous claw marks enveloped the surrounding void; it was actually willing to trade injury for injury!! Witnessing this, Jiuxiao's draconic eyes narrowed sharply!! It sensed an intensely deadly threat within the Scarlet Thunder Suanni's claw strikes. Jiuxiao whipped its dragon tail and threw itself recklessly into the chaotic blast radius between the two. Pengluo was so frightened he could barely speak. "Brother Nine, have you lost your mind?!" *Boom!!! Rumble!!!* Jiuxiao shattered the void and charged straight in, completely deaf to Pengluo's terror-stricken cry. Gritting his teeth, Pengluo began snapping his radish arms with sharp cracks, determined to serve as reserve resources. The deafening blast echoed for dozens of li! The lightning claw marks unleashed by the Scarlet Thunder Suanni shattered the void with horrific violence. In merely a single clash, the jade bracelets on Meng Wanshu's wrists shattered one after another!! Defensive dharma artifacts of the ancient treasure rank shattered on impact after taking only a few blows. At the final instant, Jiuxiao flashed forward and threw its body in front of Meng Wanshu. Multiple lightning claw strikes violently tore through its scales. No matter how it channeled its internal power for protection, it could not withstand those razor-sharp claws. *Pfft! Pfft!!* Scales went flying, and flesh was torn open!! Jiuxiao opened its maw and let out a pained shriek, yet it coiled its body tight, shielding Meng Wanshu firmly inside. Pengluo crushed his arm, squeezing the spiritual sap onto Jiuxiao's wounds while stuffing the crushed arm directly into Jiuxiao's mouth. Just like that, Jiuxiao healed even as it took wounds. Pengluo's body shrank at a visible rate, the color draining from his features as his eyes rolled back in exhaustion. *Howl!!* In midair, fierce sword qi raged across all directions!! Over a hundred sword beams engulfed the Scarlet Thunder Suanni, tearing through the white lion's defenses in an instant! Gash after bone-deep gash covered its body as pained roars tore from the Scarlet Thunder Suanni's throat. The frost power seeped through its wounds, wreaking havoc on its flesh, blood, and meridians. Even channeling all its strength, the beast could not purge the chill quickly. By now, the Scarlet Thunder Suanni had already grown fearful and wanted to retreat; the countless sword marks crisscrossing its body threatened to freeze its very soul! Seeing Jiuxiao covered in wounds, Meng Wanshu was deeply moved, her eyes brimming with killing intent!! Only a tiny sliver of the snowflake seal on her brow remained. But right then, the bowed Jiuxiao suddenly snapped open its eyes! A vast, primitive ferocity reminiscent of the primordial era abruptly surged forth!! With a gentle claw stroke that tore open the void, it tenderly set the foaming, eye-rolling Pengluo inside. Lightning crackled to life across the dragon's body! Amidst the sharp crackles, Meng Wanshu's pupils contracted. She hastily took out more than ten bottles of top-grade spiritual liquid and poured them into Jiuxiao's mouth!! Jiuxiao... was about to break through to the late stage!! Raising its dragon head slightly, Jiuxiao swallowed every drop of the liquid. Its body began to swell and expand continuously!! Its original thirty-zhang frame swelled in this moment to a staggering seventy-some zhang!!
