"Strange!"
After pondering for a long time with a frown, Ao Yuan found it even more peculiar.
This was because the graceful figure battling the short-haired man clearly looked human.
Yet, Ao Yuan could easily detect the demonic energy emanating from her.
The dense demonic energy all over her body unequivocally proclaimed her identity.
She was likely a transformed great demon. But that was precisely the problem.
Transformation was a threshold that even Ao Yuan had not yet reached. If she were truly a transformed great demon, she shouldn't be losing to the short-haired man before him.
At least, in Ao Yuan's perception, the short-haired man wasn't strong. Forget comparing him to Ao Yuan; even the aura of the Black Rhinoceros he had seen earlier was more formidable.
"This is bad!"
At this moment, Ao Yuan noticed the graceful figure make a mistake, and the short-haired man seized the opportunity.
With a flash of light, she was being suppressed!
"Die!"
The short-haired man roared with a ferocious expression, then his figure shot out, engulfing the graceful figure in a dazzling light.
It was evident!
He didn't want to drag this out any longer and intended to seize this chance to take her life!
"Ah!"
Seeing the short-haired man lunging at her, the graceful figure's heart tensed with alarm.
She unleashed her demonic energy to resist.
However, her own strength was inferior, and coupled with her previous mistake, she couldn't resist at all.
"It's over!"
The graceful figure's face turned slightly pale.
A sense of despair emerged from her beautiful eyes.
"Roar!"
But at this very moment, a clear, resounding cry suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth!
Instantly, the world rumbled.
A terrifying pressure spread outwards.
"Ah!"
The short-haired man's movement faltered.
But he quickly showed a ferocious expression, attempting to break through this pressure and deliver a devastating blow to the graceful figure.
"Escape?"
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
The voice was cold, laced with a hint of mockery.
The next second.
Bang!
When he was only a few centimeters away from the graceful figure, his body felt as if it had suffered a massive impact.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he was sent flying backward madly.
He finally crashed heavily onto the ground.
The force of the impact kicked up a cloud of dust, damaging the surrounding rocks, trees, and plants.
"Cough, cough..."
The short-haired man clutched his chest and stumbled to his feet.
His breathing was heavy, and his eyes were filled with horror.
Just now, he hadn't reacted at all.
He hadn't seen who had attacked him.
He only felt a flash of light, and then he was struck by a powerful force and sent flying.
Just now.
It felt as if he had seen the Grim Reaper wielding a scythe.
If the force of the blow had been slightly stronger, he would truly have gone to report to the Grim Reaper.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he turned his gaze towards the graceful figure.
Instead of the tragic death he expected, the graceful figure was still standing unharmed.
And beside her, coiled a figure radiating golden light and crackling with lightning!
He stood there, his gaze indifferent, looking at the short-haired man as if he were an ant.
"Great... Great Xia... Guardian... Divine Beast!"
As he took in the full appearance of this figure, his eyes widened, and the suppressed horror became even more apparent.
"Hmph!"
Ao Yuan withdrew his gaze and said nonchalantly, "Since you recognize me, then you won't die in vain at my hands!"
As soon as he spoke!
The short-haired man's face turned pale. Then, without another word, he turned and fled backward.
At this moment, his speed seemed to have reached its peak.
It couldn't be helped; he was considered a strong individual.
But precisely because he was a strong individual, he understood even better how powerful Ao Yuan was.
Ao Yuan!
He was no match for Ao Yuan at all.
Fighting him was a surefire death.
Only by escaping might there be a sliver of hope.
However, it was a pity.
His intentions were good, but the outcome was cruel.
Ao Yuan simply watched him.
He didn't make any move as the man fled.
Only when the man was no longer visible in his sight did Ao Yuan slowly raise his dragon claw.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Suddenly, an unprovoked gale arose.
Then, a scream was heard. The short-haired man who had just fled was enveloped by the wind and blown back the way he came.
Unlike before, he was now covered in blood.
These were cuts from wind blades.
"Great... Great Xia Guardian Divine Beast, someone will avenge me!"
He struggled to utter a sentence, then his legs gave out, and he was silent.
Ao Yuan looked at him calmly, his eyes placid.
The short-haired man's words were of no consequence to Ao Yuan.
If someone truly wanted to seek revenge, let them come!
But if they did, they would have to bear Ao Yuan's wrath!
Ao Yuan considered the graceful figure beside him, who emanated demonic energy, to be more worthy of his attention than the short-haired man's threat.
Before Ao Yuan could ask, he suddenly heard a soft, melodic voice.
"Dragon... Dragon God!"
Though the voice was beautiful, its tone clearly carried a tremor of fear.
Ao Yuan turned his head and saw the graceful figure bowing slightly to him.
It was evident that her body was still trembling, clearly showing her fear of him.
Seeing this, Ao Yuan narrowed his eyes and let out a resounding dragon roar.
"Roar!"
The dragon roar carried an immense dragon might!
The graceful figure before him trembled even more violently.
Finally, unable to maintain her stance, she directly knelt before Ao Yuan.
Then, a soft light suddenly emanated from her body.
When the light dissipated and Ao Yuan looked again.
He saw that there was no human figure in front of him, only a small, pure white fox.
The small, pure white fox looked very cute, its fur soft and without a single stray hair.
If any human were to see her, they would undoubtedly fall in love with her.
"Fox spirit!"
Ao Yuan understood immediately.
He hadn't expected the graceful figure earlier to be a fox spirit.
Of course, what attracted Ao Yuan the most was that this fox spirit's strength wasn't high.
She had just broken through to the Spirit Sea realm.
Yet, she could transform.
As if sensing something, Ao Yuan's pupils suddenly narrowed, and he looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Because!
Ao Yuan discovered that this little fox actually had three tails!
Yes!
That's right!
Three tails covered in white fur, so fluffy that one couldn't help but want to hold them.
"Dragon... Dragon God! Please... please spare me. I will repay you with my life and serve you."
"I beg you, spare... spare me this time!"
