...
But this would take time! It would require a vast amount of time and energy!
Yet this Golden Sacred Dragon was like an inescapable piece of taffy, clinging to him relentlessly.
Its goal was not to defeat Qian Daoliu at all, but to stall him in midair at any cost,
preventing him from being able to distract himself to rescue Gold Crocodile Douluo and Qingluan Douluo below!
Qian Daoliu glanced down below.
When he saw Luo Nan reveal his twin spirits, with two hundred-thousand-year red spirit rings hanging prominently on his second Spirit,
and even blasting the level ninety-eight Gold Crocodile Douluo into coughing blood and flying backward with a single claw, even this Invincible of the Sky, who was accustomed to grand storms, could not help but gasp in shock.
"This young man... is too terrifying!"
...
"Third Brother! Dodge, quickly!" From afar came Gold Crocodile Douluo's anguished, blood-spitting roar.
Every hair on Qingluan Douluo's body stood on end in an instant, cold sweat immediately soaking through his undergarments.
As a level ninety-seven Peak Douluo renowned for his speed and agility, he had never in his life felt such a suffocating shadow of death.
Luo Nan, surrounded by hundred-thousand-year blood-red spirit rings like an abyssal demon god, had completely locked his icy gaze onto him.
"Flee! I must create distance!"
Qingluan Douluo roared frantically in his heart as the phantom of the Qingluan Divine Bird behind him erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant cyan light.
He prepared to once again unleash his ultimate speed to tear open space and escape.
But would Luo Nan give him that chance?
"Trying to leave? In this world, I call the shots!"
A cruel sneer curled up at the corners of Luo Nan's mouth.
In the next second, deep within his eyes filled with ultimate darkness, a dazzling flash of brilliant golden light suddenly flared.
"Ninth Spirit Ability: Gravity Domain!"
Centered around Luo Nan's body, the Gravity Domain swept wildly in all directions like a tsunami.
The space within a radius of several miles seemed to solidify completely in that instant.
"Buzz—!"
A dull humming sound reverberated in the air.
Qingluan Douluo, who was just about to turn into a cyan streak of light to flee, suddenly felt his body sink heavily.
It was as if in that moment, a hundred thousand towering Mount Tais had suddenly weighed down upon his shoulders without warning!
"This... what kind of terrifying gravity is this?!"
Qingluan Douluo let out a pained groan. The ultimate speed he took pride in crumbled instantly before this terrifying Gravity Domain.
The ground below was even less capable of enduring such terrifying gravity; the hard bedrock collapsed en masse like tofu in an instant.
"Your speed, in the face of absolute power, is nothing but a joke."
Luo Nan's death-god-like voice exploded beside Qingluan Douluo's ear.
"Second Spirit Ability: Black Dragon Breath!"
"Roar—!"
The Dark Demon Dragon behind Luo Nan let out a sky-shattering roar to the heavens, its massive dragon jaws snapping wide open.
Immediately following that, a breath of dragon fire so purely dark that it seemed capable of devouring all light in the world—
like a black beam of destruction—tore through the heavy space.
Carrying world-destroying corrosiveness, it spewed forth toward Qingluan Douluo without holding back!
"Not good!"
Qingluan Douluo's eyes nearly split with rage, his pupils reflecting the expanding black pillar of light.
At this life-or-death juncture, he could no longer care about Bibi Dong, whom he was holding in his hand.
He violently threw Bibi Dong to the side as his level ninety-seven Soul Power erupted without restraint like a volcano.
"Ninth Spirit Ability: Divine Qingluan Protective Barrier!"
A massive phantom of a cyan divine bird shielded Qingluan Douluo tightly inside, layers of tangible cyan Protective Aura turning into the sturdiest barrier,
attempting to withstand that overwhelming black dragon breath.
"Boom!!!"
The black dragon breath collided violently with the cyan Protective Aura in midair, erupting with a deafening noise of destruction.
However, Qingluan Douluo discovered in despair that the defense of his proud Ninth Spirit Ability...
...before Luo Nan's Black Dragon Breath—empowered by a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and the attribute of ultimate darkness—was as fragile as ice and snow in a raging fire!
"Chi-chi-chi-chi—"
A numbing, skin-crawling sizzling sound rang out wildly; the pure black dragon breath carried immense corrosive and penetrating power.
After stalemating for less than three seconds, it corroded a massive hole through the Divine Qingluan Protective Barrier.
"Ah—!"
The remaining black dragon breath surged through the hole and blasted viciously onto Qingluan Douluo's body.
Qingluan Douluo uttered a blood-curdling scream as his extremely protective cyan robe instantly turned to ashes.
Large swaths of flesh turned charred and festered under the corrosion of the black dragon breath.
"Bang!"
Like a kite with a broken string, Qingluan Douluo fell straight down from midair, slamming heavily into the collapsed ruins below and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Although, by virtue of his formidable foundation as a level ninety-seven Super Douluo, he desperately protected his heart and did not perish on the spot or reach the brink of death,
he was now charred all over, his Aura withered, severely injured, and completely deprived of his power to fight on.
From the moment Luo Nan attacked to heavily injuring the level ninety-eight Gold Crocodile Douluo in one blow,
and then turning back to use the Gravity Domain combined with the Black Dragon Breath to leave the level ninety-seven Qingluan Douluo in an unknown state of life or death, everything happened in the blink of an eye!
Two Peak Worshipers of Spirit Hall were completely unable to delay him for even a moment before Luo Nan's overwhelmingly terrifying strength!
In midair, Luo Nan did not pursue further.
His tall, slender figure floated in midair like an invincible demon god.
He slowly turned his head and looked up into the sky above.
"Qian Daoliu!"
"I'm laying down my word right here today!"
"If you hand over this bitch Bibi Dong right now, everything is negotiable, and today's matter ends here!"
"But if you Spirit Hall insist on protecting Bibi Dong to the death, then I, Luo Nan, swear to Heaven!"
"The final outcome will definitely not be mutual destruction!"
"I might die here, but..."
"...one of you three old geezers—the strongest of Spirit Hall—must be buried alongside me here today!!"
"You must pay a price in blood!"
At this very moment, ten thousand meters in the sky above.
Qian Daoliu forcefully repelled the Golden Sacred Dragon's massive claws with a strike of his sword, taking advantage of the momentum to float back several hundred meters, his chest heaving violently.
He looked down, overlooking the land below that had turned into a field of ruins.
Looking at the young man shrouded in hundred-thousand-year blood-red spirit rings, possessing an Aura like a rainbow.
Looking at his Second Brother Gold Crocodile, who was corroded by ultimate darkness.
Looking at his Third Brother Qingluan Douluo, charred all over and deprived of combat power.
Qian Daoliu exhaled a deep breath of foul air.
Qian Daoliu knew full well that Luo Nan was dead set on killing Bibi Dong!
Even if he had to fight to his last breath, he would kill Bibi Dong.
