[The Nine-Headed Flood Dragon Yang Qi looked at Su Yao with a greedy gaze.]

[After several rounds of fighting, he was very clear.]

[Su Yao was now on her last legs.]

[Her internal spiritual energy had been severely depleted.]

[As long as Yang Qi was willing, he was absolutely confident he could kill her.]

[But Yang Qi was unwilling to do so.]

[He sneered and said, Su Yao, if you don’t want to die, there’s only one path you can take.]

[That is to become my Dao partner, leading your water nymph clan to submit to me.]

[After I take over the entire East Sea, I will grant you a separate sea area. How does that sound?]

[Su Yao snorted coldly and said, Yang Qi, you are not worthy. If you hadn’t called for help, did you really think you could defeat me?]

[While speaking, Su Yao cautiously looked to her left and right.]

[The two cultivators with remnants of scales on their faces were the reinforcements Yang Qi had summoned.]

[Originally, with Su Yao’s mid-stage Integration strength and the cultivation techniques Ye Yu had sent, she should have been able to easily suppress Yang Qi.]

[But she hadn’t anticipated that Yang Qi would bring in two Integration sea demons.]

[In a three-on-one situation, Su Yao was naturally at a disadvantage.]

[Through prolonged consumption, her internal spiritual energy was nearly exhausted.]

[If the fight continued, the outcome was already determined.]

[Even so, Su Yao would never consider becoming the Dao partner of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon just to survive.]

[Don’t dream about it! My junior brother gave me everything he had.]

[Besides my junior brother, what other man in the world would treat me so well?]

[How could I ever like someone else?]

[Yang Qi’s gaze grew colder, Are you refusing me?]

[Su Yao replied firmly, Even if you kill me, I will never become your Dao partner!]

[Upon hearing this response, Yang Qi casually waved his hand.]

[One of the Integration sea demon immediately acted. He formed a seal with his hands.]

[Suddenly, the surrounding sea water began to churn.]

[A gigantic water dragon appeared.]

[It roared towards Su Yao, carrying an unstoppable force.]

[Seeing this situation, Su Yao’s expression grew grave.]

[Her internal spiritual power had not recovered much and was utterly insufficient to block this full-force attack from an Integration cultivator.]

[With death imminent, Su Yao’s mind once again conjured up Ye Yu’s face.]

[Junior brother, I’m sorry, I might have to break my promise.]

[If there’s a next life, I will surely fulfill the unfinished promise.]

[Just before the water dragon was about to engulf Su Yao, several huge chains descended from the sky.]

[They immediately trapped the water dragon at the bottom of the sea.]

[The enormous water dragon let out a mournful cry before shattering instantly.]

[Seeing this, Yang Qi and the other two Integration sea demons immediately furrowed their brows.]

[Ye Yu’s figure suddenly appeared beside Su Yao.]

[He asked softly, Senior sister, are you alright?]

[Su Yao shook her head in bewilderment.]

[She could hardly believe her eyes…Why did Junior Brother appear in this place?]

[Before Su Yao could ask, Ye Yu slowly turned around.]

[He looked at Yang Qi and the two sea demons and said coldly, You’re really asking for death!]

[Su Yao was shocked.]

[She immediately tried to pull Ye Yu away.]

[In her heart, Ye Yu was still that peak-stage Divine Transformation cultivator under the moonlight.]

[He could not possibly be a match for Yang Qi and the others.]

[However, Su Yao found only emptiness as she tried to pull him. Ye Yu had already surged forward.]

[He entered the midst of Yang Qi and the two sea demons.]

[Though alone, he showed no fear!]

[He clasped his hands together, and immediately, dazzling light erupted from his body.]

[He formed a gigantic triangular barrier, enclosing Yang Qi, the two sea demons, and himself.]

[The sudden appearance of the formation caused Yang Qi and the two sea demons to be greatly alarmed.]

[But soon, they realized Ye Yu was also an Integration realm cultivator.]

[Three against one, the advantage was theirs!]

[They quickly reassured themselves and began preparing their techniques to attack Ye Yu.]

[But Ye Yu remained unmoved. His entire body suddenly became illusory.]

[In just a breath’s time, he merged completely with the darkness.]

[This was the Soul Slaying Demon Array from the Eternal Star Diagram.]

[Seeing Ye Yu disappear, Yang Qi showed no hesitation.]

[He immediately reacted, placing his hands in front of him and formed a strange hand seal.]

[His entire body emitted an azure light.]

[Immediately, the eight dragon heads behind him began to grow rapidly.]

[Before long, they formed individual dragons nearly a hundred feet long. Their massive bodies nearly filled the entire barrier.]

[Yet even so, Ye Yu’s whereabouts remained unfound.]

[Yang Qi panicked.]

[Just as he was about to forcefully break through the barrier, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted.]

[Thunder techniques have a natural restraint effect on demons and spirits, and they are extremely domineering and powerful.]

[With the sound of thunder, Yang Qi and the two sea demons showed a hint of shock in their eyes.]

[How could this be?]

[How could there be thunder at the bottom of the sea?]

[The next moment, countless bolts of lightning struck down, making the barrier seem like the end of days.]

[In an instant, the area was filled with continuous wails.]

[The entire process lasted for nearly an hour’s worth of time, only then did the lightning slowly dissipate.]

[On the ground, only three charred blackened remains were left.]

[Their demonic forms could no longer be distinguished.]

[Confirming their deaths, Ye Yu slowly revealed his form and withdrew the barrier.]

[At this moment, Su Yao hurried over. After carefully inspecting Ye Yu to ensure he was unharmed, she finally felt relieved.]

[But her first reaction was to run.]

[Seeing this, Ye Yu immediately grabbed her wrist.]

[He asked in confusion, Senior sister, why are you running? Is there something else?]

[Su Yao used her other hand to cover Ye Yu’s eyes. She said nervously, Don’t look, I’m ugly like this.]

[At this point, Su Yao’s right hand suddenly began to tremble, her voice becoming low and heavy.]

[Junior brother, I’m a sea demon. I’ve always struggled with how to tell you this.]

[Originally, I planned to tell you after dealing with the matters at the bottom of the sea, when I returned to the Lotus Sect.]

[But I didn’t expect you would come back.]

[In my current state…]

[I must have scared you, right?]

[Ye Yu’s expression immediately turned quite odd.]

[Scared? Ugly? What a joke.]

[A human body with a fish tail would excite a man, it purely increases the attack speed.]

[Moreover, in such an environment, this appearance was like the sweetest little surprise between lovers.]

[Though, where exactly the attack speed boost applied might be a question.]

[Could it be… above?]
