Once the dragon girl starts walking on water, she will focus wholeheartedly on it. No matter how well prepared she is, turning into a dragon and walking on water is a crucial matter and she cannot afford to be distracted. As for the matter of her parents, she can only pin her hopes on Uncle Ji and her brother.
Although the water in Tongtian River was already very mild, it immediately became turbulent at this moment. Heavy rain was pouring down along the river and the water level was rising rapidly.
Fortunately, the changes in Tongtian River in recent years have been obvious to all. Many talented people in Dazhen have calculated some things, and either warned the people or found ways to advise the emperor, so that the Dazhen government has already made arrangements along the Tongtian River.
At this moment, the Dragon Girl finally understood how terrifying the pressure of the flood was. The river water, which was usually very obedient, was not very obedient at this moment. It was like a gentle mount that suddenly turned into a ferocious wild horse. The Dragon Girl needed to use several times the usual energy to barely control the flow of water, and the rain from the sky seemed to contain the oppression of divine power.
The river waves, every river that flows into the Tongtian River, and even every drop of rain falling from the sky, it seemed as if the pressure of every wave and every drop of water all gathered together and turned into an extremely heavy pressure on the Dragon Girl. This force was not only mental, but even caused physical tearing pain.
This feeling of heaviness almost pressed the Dragon Girl's real body, Chijiao, into the mud at the bottom of the Tongtian River. She had to swim hard to get rid of the feeling of falling at a not very fast speed.
"Roar—"
The roar of a dragon sounded from the bottom of the river, mixing with the rumbling thunder and becoming unclear, making the storm even more violent.
Whenever a dragon roars, the nearby Tongtian River and the water along the way will become more turbulent, with huge waves even rising and rushing towards both banks. This is the water-walking Chijiao trying its best to maintain its power to control the water under the pressure of heaven and earth to relieve its pain.
However, the dragon girl had cultivated a dragon's heart many years ago. The strength of her mind was simply incomparable to that of ordinary dragons. If other dragons were caught in a water disaster, they would inevitably become irritable at this moment, but the dragon girl was calm. No amount of physical pain or torture could shake her composure. She tried her best to control the water flow.
A stream of divine thoughts continued to surge forward along the water, and among them was the clear, cold and sacred voice that Ying Ruoli had shown to the world.
"All the aquatic creatures in the Tongtian River area retreated."
The sound could be transmitted at least a hundred miles away in the water, penetrating into every waterway along the way. Upon hearing the sound, aquatic creatures everywhere shrank back to their hiding places. Although the situation underwater was better than on the surface of the water, it could still be very dangerous if one was accidentally swept away by the current when a water dragon passed by.
There were clouds above the New Champion Ferry. Ji Yuan stood there and watched the Dragon Girl walk into the water. He also watched the Old Dragon and the Dragon Mother transform into dragons and chase after them in the clouds. He then stopped pretending to cast a spell.
What about suppressing the water spirit and disaster with all one's strength? Ji Yuan doesn't know how to do that, and he has never heard of doing that when transforming into a dragon. But doesn't the Dragon Mother know? At this critical juncture? Ji Yuan didn't refute what the old dragon said? How could she not believe it
So when he saw them going away in the storm, Ji Yuan smiled faintly, and flew higher and higher to chase them into the distance. Not only would he not suppress any calamity, but he would add strength to it.
The dragon shadow in the Tongtian River did not leave the Jingji Prefecture until half an hour later, and arrived at a sparsely populated riverside area near the mountains. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were growing thicker and thicker.
Ji Yuan was standing high above the clouds, and could vaguely use his Dharma eyes to see through the thick dark clouds in the distant sky and see two dragons swimming in the sky and the surging Tongtian River.
At this moment, the Imperial Thunder Curse appeared in Ji Yuan's hand again. Although the power of the Thunder Curse had been almost exhausted in the Black Wasteland Demon Slaying, and its light seemed dim at this moment, the foundation for long-term refining and construction was still there. Even without the power of the Thunder Curse itself, it could still be used to assist Ji Yuan in casting spells.
The Imperial Thunder Curse was suspended in front of him. Ji Yuan stretched out his left hand, a flash of lightning appeared on it, and then he used his sword finger to direct the sword intent, and the lightning-transforming method pointed at the Imperial Thunder Curse. The magic power in his body flowed into it like a surging wave.
A thin bolt of lightning flashing with gold, purple and white light shot out from the thunder spell and instantly sank into the dark clouds entangled with lightning below. The thunderclouds that had been brewing rapidly expanded at this moment, taking on a swirling state.
"Boom..."
The horrifying thunder shook the whole area, and all the creatures under heaven and earth felt a buzzing in their ears. The thunder also frightened the old dragon and the dragon mother so much that they looked up at the sky and saw the horrifying thunder that was brewing.
The true form of the Dragon Mother is a black dragon, and its black scales shine in the lightning. Her body is much smaller than the true form of the old dragon beside her, and her pair of crystal clear dragon eyes are full of horror.
"Impossible! Ruoli is a person who cultivates her mind and is kind to the world. How could such a thunder tribulation occur?"
The thunder tribulation hasn't even fully formed yet, but the Dragon Mother has already felt the terrifying infinite power of heaven. Moreover, she is not the one who is affected by the tribulation. It is hard for her to imagine what the consequences would be if all this thunder struck her daughter.
“Crack… Boom”
While the Dragon Mother was astonished, a purple lightning bolt had already struck down from the thunderclouds in the sky and split into tree shapes in the air. One bolt extended into the Tongtian River, while the other bolt went straight towards the Chilong and Lijiao.
All thoughts and ideas came to a halt at this moment. The thunder contained a terrifying divine power and a breath of destruction that frightened the old dragon, and Li Jiao fell into a brief confusion.
In the critical moment, the old dragon reacted quickly. He didn't care about anything else and screamed as he circled over the Li Jiao with his real dragon body.
"Li'er, be careful."
"Boom..."
The thunder directly fell on the beautiful body of the Chilong. Endless lightning completely wrapped around the huge dragon body. The lightning was like purple lightning whips hitting the dragon body. The terrifying crackling sound appeared in the ears of the Dragon Mother.
"Moo—"
The old dragon couldn't help but let out a painful dragon roar, while cursing in his heart.
"Ji Yuan, you are really ruthless!"
"Roar—"
In the Tongtian River below, Ying Ruoli, who was also struck by the thunder, let out a painful dragon roar. However, she was only bearing the part that she was supposed to bear. All the parts that Ji Yuan had added to the thunder were used to hit the old dragon in the sky.
The purple lightning dissipated, and the Dragon Mother was unharmed, but the old dragon was in great pain. The Dragon Mother could also clearly feel the abnormality of the real dragon beside her, and she felt a little distressed, but before the old dragon could catch his breath, thunder sounded again in the sky.
"Crack... Boom..."
A bolt of lightning that was several times thicker than the previous one and filled with purple-gold light fell down, as if God had drawn a straight line of lightning with a pen. This bolt of lightning was like God's anger, specially punishing the two dragons who were resisting the disaster for the drowning dragon. Not even a trace of thunder was directed towards Tongtian River.
Above the thunderclouds in the sky, Ji Yuan pointed out with all his strength, and the magic power in his body gushed out like a river bursting its dam.
Knowing that his friend was thick-skinned and tough, Ji Yuan started to test the thunder magic in his mind. He previously learned that the leader of Qianyuan Sect could transform thunder into sword power. As a sword expert, Ji Yuan had his own ideas when he was inspired and wanted to practice the art of controlling thunder with sword.
"Mr. Ying, don't blame me for being too harsh! Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll mess up the performance."
Ji Yuan thought about it in his mind, and his sword pointed steadily, and his attack was without hesitation.
The moment the thunder fell, purple-gold light had already filled the eyes of Lijiao and Chilong, the former was terrified and the latter was horrified.
"Ji Yuan, you are trying to kill me!"
This was the old dragon's last thought before he received the thunder, and then his dragon body instinctively protected the Li Jiao tightly.
"Boom..."
The lightning was like a sword falling from the sky, hitting the old dragon so hard that its head and tail were raised. The destructive power of the thunderbolt was as sharp as the tearing of golden wind. The mother dragon was only scratched a little, but she actually felt pain in her dragon scales.
"Roar—"
Ying Hong's true form, the Chilong, let out a dragon roar like a scream at this moment.
"Brother Hong!"
The Dragon Mother cried out in shock, and wanted to mobilize her magical powers to help the old dragon share the power of the thunder, but the old dragon suppressed her with the dragon-entanglement method, leaving her no chance to do so. However, this brutal magical power of the dragon clan did not bring the Dragon Mother the slightest disgust at this moment. Instead, her heart was filled with a strong sense of security.
The long thunder strike finally passed, and the old dragon withdrew the dragon-entanglement method and released his control over the Li Jiao.
The Dragon Mother looked at the Chilong in front of her, unable to suppress the pain in her heart. She moved beside the Chilong and saw that many scales on the Chilong's back had burn marks and even several scales had cracks. A trickle of dragon blood was overflowing from them and quickly flowed back into the wounds, which showed how terrible the thunder just now was.
The old dragon's voice rang in Li Jiao's ears.
"Li'er, this calamity is too dangerous, please don't leave me..."
The old dragon's voice sounded a little tired, but it was filled with expectations that he wanted to hide but couldn't. The mother dragon's amber eyes were a little dazed, and she responded softly.
"Um… "
Everything was self-evident. Ecstasy appeared in the old dragon's eyes, and he couldn't help but roar excitedly to Tianlong.
"Roar—"
High above the thunderclouds, Ji Yuan also heard the dragon's roar and frowned slightly.
"So energetic? You are a real dragon after all. It seems that the thunder magic just now was a little weak?"
