"Not enough to defeat him just with the low-quality treasure in your hands! Keep working hard and come back!"
Lu Jiayear indicated with his eyes for the giant Pang Long and Ning Meng to pull Zhou Yijie away.
The woman's awakening ability is indeed very strong.
The only regret is that it awakened too late.
However, there is still oneself here, and there are people who can fight for her to get enough time.
"Now I will count on you!"
Lu Jiayear casually waved his hand backward, allowing the giant Pang Long to pull Zhou Yijie away from him.
"Zhongyuan City Special Affairs Management Bureau, Director Lu Jiayun, please teach me!"
Lu Jiayear extended his slender, knuckle-jointed pale hand, thumb inward, and the other four fingers slightly curled.
"Big brother, save me! These guys are planning to escape; you can't let them get away!"
The sparrow demon spoke in a timely manner, immediately reporting Lu Jiayun's plan.
"Save you?"
The black-cloaked figure tilts its head, looking at the ground where the mantis demon lies like a dead dog, through Lu Jiayun.
A pair of golden vertical pupils suddenly revealed a faint smile.
"Save you? Why should I save you?"
"When I was a snake, I could still somewhat tolerate your incompetence, but now that I have transformed from a snake to a qilin, can you tell me why would a qilin catch a mantis as its subordinate? Are you qualified?"
The black-cloaked figure looked at the mantis demon with a mocking expression.
If he had not yet transformed into a dragon, he might still have the mood to save this subordinate who was quite handy to use.
But now, he has successfully transformed into a dragon.
That would naturally be to gather a group of subordinates worthy of his status.
Mantis demon, spider demon, rat demon and so on.
That's the kind of riff-raff you'd recruit when dealing with the four pests.
Now that he is like this, he no longer needs them!
"What? Leader you?"
The mantis demon didn't expect that his enthusiasm had only earned the disdain of the black-cloaked man.
He has always been concerned about the black-cloaked man, even if he was captured, his first thought would still be to save the leader.
Years of loyalty, only to get this?
The mantis demon felt as if all his passion had been wasted.
Destroy it, I'm tired!
"Sister Jian..."
Ning Meng naturally clasped Zhou Yijie's arm, whispering and sniffling softly.
No matter how she and Lu Jiayun's private relationship may be, just by Lu Jiayun being willing to sacrifice his life for them, it's worth her crying a good tears!
Before Zhou Yijie had the chance to comfort Ning Meng, Lu Jiayun and the black-cloaked man had already started their battle.
Lu Jiayun is a natural element aware ability user, his awakened ability is flame control.
Since he became an artist, except for the time when he suffered from a dust explosion in Yan Shu's residence, he has never suffered a defeat!
He also possesses a cultivation base that is at the peak of the ordinary stage, on the verge of breaking through to the superior level.
Now facing a superior-grade jiaolong demon, Lu Jiayun couldn't help but sweat with anxiety in his heart.
It's not that he's afraid of death, but he fears that he won't be able to secure enough time, or that he won't be able to create an opportunity for Zhou Yijie to leave!
Boom!
A towering wave of flames crashed down on the black-cloaked figure, as if it were being thrown away for free.
Behind Lu Jiayun, a giant wave of flames was also raised.
The temperature was so high that it even caused the surrounding air to distort.
However, even though Lu Jiayun used his ultimate move, the black-cloaked figure remained unmoved, even leisurely waiting for the incoming wave of flames.
Lu Jiayun wanted to buy time, but the black-cloaked man was doing the same thing.
For the black-cloaked man, whether the Snake Dragon Dance was successful or not, it was indeed true that he had evolved into a jiaolong.
However, the final stage of evolution, the Heavenly Punishment Thunder, has not yet fallen, which is equivalent to tying a bomb to the black-cloaked man's body.
He didn't want to accept the baptism of the Heavenly Thunder at the crucial moment.
Either kill Zhou Qi and the others now, or wait until the Heavenly Punishment Thunder is over!
Endless flames swept down like a tidal wave, with imposing and powerful momentum.
The black-cloaked man stood like a solitary boat on the sea, calmly awaiting the wave's pounding.
"That's right now!"
Regardless of why the black-cloaked man didn't put up a fight, Lu Jiayun wasn't going to let such an opportunity slip by. He immediately turned around and roared at the back.
"Where do you think you're going!"
The black-cloaked man was also instantly awake. He almost forgot that it was Zhou Yijie who had brought them in. If he wanted to leave, he first needed to deal with Zhou Yijie!
Therefore, the black-cloaked man directly burst through the towering waves and delivered a powerful palm strike at Zhou Yijie's back.
In the black-cloaked man's judgment, Zhou Yijie would turn around and unleash a transmission incantation, and his attack should land exactly on the entrance of the teleportation portal.
"What are you running for!?"
To his surprise, Zhou Yijie, instead of retreating, raised the Golden-Back Small Hook Knife in his hand and slashed at the black-cloaked man again.
"Madness!"
Lu Jiayun could only watch helplessly as Zhou Yijie delivered a slash at the black-cloaked man, feeling both angry and anxious.
Just like the previous slash, Zhou Yijie's attack this time still failed to land a hit.
The Golden-Back Small Hook Knife, when it struck the black-cloaked man's jiaolong scales, was akin to cutting into a slab of green slate. Only a crisp sound was produced, with nothing more.
Not even a wound that could heal instantly was left.
Too hard! The jiaolong scales are incredibly tough!
"That's a real temperamental one!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you easily. Our score is not something that can be settled so casually; we will have to settle it gradually."
The black-cloaked man smiled coldly at Zhou Yijie.
His scales-covered face looked like an open, rotten coconut shell, hideous to behold.
Since evolving into a jiaolong, the black-cloaked man hadn't realized that his mindset had subtly changed.
A cold-blooded creature is slowly shifting towards becoming a warm-blooded one.
He was no longer the careful and cautious, task-oriented cold-blooded killer he once was.
Instead, he had developed a desire for carnage and a pursuit of excitement!
He blinked at Zhou Yijie, then turned his gaze towards Lu Jiayun.
Doesn't he not fear death?
Then let him see just how fearless he is!
Does he really not fear death, or is he just pretending?
Lu Jiayun hadn't expected the black-cloaked man to now completely ignore his flames. Upon seeing the black-cloaked man approach, his expression grew a bit more serious.
Flames gathered above Lu Jiayun's head, the temperature of the fireball resembling that of a small sun.
With such scorching heat bearing down on him, the black-cloaked man's lips curved into a smirk, much like he was sunbathing. He leisurely sauntered over to Lu Jiayun's presence.
"Is that all? You must be pretty weak as the director!"
The black-cloaked man ridiculed Lu Jiayun's weakness with a mouthful of black gas, which immediately extinguished the fireball on Lu Jiayun's head.
"What?"
Lu Jiayun hadn't expected the black-cloaked man's combat power to be so terrifying. To be able to extinguish his flames with a mere gesture was enough to strike despair into Lu Jiayun's heart.
Lu Jiayun started to question whether he could truly hold onto the black-cloaked man.
Just as the black-cloaked man intended to continue teasing Lu Jiayun, the latter finally reached his breaking point.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion suddenly rang out from the black sky of the underworld.
The entire Ghost Gate trembled instantly.
