This loud shout resounded through the heavens and earth, clearly passing through the Five Elements Trapping Dragon Array to reach beyond the formation.

A loud roar.

At the southern part of Yong Family Island, the originally calm sea suddenly erupted with large waves!

A massive black creature emerged from the sea, raising its head, and a pair of icy eyes coldly scanned Yong Liangyu within the array.

Lu Yuanshan and the others turned as they heard the shout, witnessing a gigantic, ink-colored flood dragon rising from the sea, swiftly soaring towards them.

"Is this the black flood dragon from the Boundless Sea?"

Bai Yuji’s expression tightened instinctively as she spoke.

Lu Yuanshan and Yang Zhengyuan also looked and saw the black flood dragon.

"Does this black flood dragon have a connection with the Yong Family?"

Yang Zhengyuan frowned, seeing the flood dragon soar even from afar, feeling the powerful demon energy it emitted, at least reaching the Golden Core Stage.

"Probably."

Bai Yuji, showcasing her body technique, landed beside Lu Yuanshan.

"Lu Daoist, the situation has changed. This black flood dragon is likely allied with the Yong Family. Do you still have confidence to engage them?"

The addition of a Golden Core Stage black flood dragon made Bai Yuji feel this battle was not favorable.

Yang Zhengyuan also landed beside Lu Yuanshan, looking at the black flood dragon, he said, "As long as it’s Golden Core Stage, with your divine techniques and strength, plus our assistance, I believe we can still fight."

"That’s right."

Bai Yuji nodded in agreement.

After its appearance, the black flood dragon raised its head, gathered large amounts of demonic power in its mouth, and upon completion, attacked the Five Elements Trapping Dragon Array.

Flooding demon energy spewed from its massive mouth, appearing deep black, with a rather eerie feeling.

Boom!

The array shook under such an attack, looking like it could shatter at any moment.

"Such strong attack power, Late-stage Golden Core?"

Yang Zhengyuan sensed the array’s tremor and understood it well; only a Late-stage Golden Core creature’s attack could shake the array.

This strike showed the black flood dragon’s presence exceeded expectations, not only related to the Yong Family but also powerful.

"No matter."

Lu Yuanshan’s expression remained calm, Late-stage Golden Core was still Golden Core Stage, without a Nascent Soul Stage creature, it was manageable.

"First cut down Yong Liangyu."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Yuanshan also activated Spiritual Energy Shackles, chains of spiritual energy emerged from the void, pouring towards Yong Liangyu.

Briefing the black flood dragon to attack, aiming to destroy the array, Yong Liangyu himself wielded the Blood Sea Demon Saber to break the array.

Inside and out both aimed at the same spot of the array, causing more intense tremors.

Seeing this continue, a few more moves would likely shatter the Five Elements Trapping Dragon Array.

Facing the attack of Spiritual Energy Shackles, Yong Liangyu’s expression tightened, while executing body techniques to dodge, he urged the Blood Sea Demon Saber towards the Spiritual Energy Shackles.

This slash didn’t cut the Spiritual Energy Shackles but instead shocked the Blood Sea Demon Saber, making it buzz.

Three other chains of Spiritual Energy Shackles wrapped around Yong Liangyu’s body.

Simultaneously, Yang Zhengyuan and Bai Yuji also attacked together, each showcasing their secret skills at Yong Liangyu.

Facing the attack from three Golden Core cultivators, Yong Liangyu’s expression turned fierce, frantically absorbing power from the Blood Sea Demon Saber, his expression filled with intense demonic and evil qi.

A storm-like force surged, sweeping towards the incoming attacks.

Boom.

The attacks of the three were counteracted and dissolved. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

At this moment, Lu Yuanshan also activated the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword again, this time the power reached the eighth layer of Golden Core Stage.

This one sword surprised Yong Liangyu, he maneuvered the Blood Sea Demon Saber to block, but by the time he realized the sword’s unusual power, it was too late.

The Blood Sea Demon Saber was severed with one strike, the flying sword continued its momentum, slicing through Yong Liangyu.

At this time, the Yong Family Clan Leader, without a Life Replacement Talisman, was cut open, revealing a Golden Core, rapidly fleeing to one side.

The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword continued forward, accurately blocking before the Golden Core, and then sliced it, splitting it in half.

"Clan Leader!"

"It’s over, these three are too strong. We better escape for our lives!"

Seeing Yong Liangyu slain, even the Blood Sea Demon Saber severed, the Golden Core split in two, the Yong Family cultivators’ expressions drastically changed.

Bai Yuji and Yang Zhengyuan gave Lu Yuanshan an astonished look, as they had sensed clearly just now, Lu Yuanshan’s sword was not weak, reaching Late-stage Golden Core.

Wasn’t he said to have Middle Stage of Golden Core strength?

This Lu Daoist, hiding his strength indeed.

After slaying Yong Liangyu, Lu Yuanshan gestured, and the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword flew back to him.

With the Clan Leader slain, the remaining Yong Family members immediately became like lost dogs, each one terrified.

"Everyone mustn’t panic; they are only three people. Can they wipe out our entire clan?"

"As long as one of us survives, there will be a chance to avenge them. Let’s not panic now!"

A Yong Family Elder shouted.

But more Yong Family cultivators had long lost the will to fight, dreading this battle, and dared not contend against them.

They began to scatter across Yuanzhou Island in frantic flight.

Even Yong Liangyu, such a Golden Core Ancestor, was slain; they wouldn’t consider themselves capable of resisting.

Even with the black flood dragon’s appearance, what did it change? This black flood dragon wasn’t entirely allied with the Yong Family, only had a simple cooperative relationship.

The Yong Family’s higher-ups knew Yong Liangyu had reached a deal with the flood dragon, offered many benefits, sacrifices of demon beasts and resources.

In doing so, they secured the flood dragon not attacking them and promised to act if the Yong Family faced a major crisis.

Now, even with the flood dragon present, attacking the array, would it still choose to help now that Yong Liangyu was slain?

The answer soon became clear.

Witnessing Yong Liangyu’s easy defeat, the black flood dragon halted its attack, glanced at Lu Yuanshan, Bai Yuji, and Yang Zhengyuan, then turned and swiftly dove back into the sea.

Initially seeming poised to attack, it changed its demeanor and quickly retreated.

"Is it leaving?"

Bai Yuji’s expression tightened. It barely engaged and suddenly stopped?

"Hahaha, it probably fears Lu Daoist."

Yang Zhengyuan laughed, smiling, for the fall of Yong Liangyu marked the imminent downfall of the Yong Family.

Lu Yuanshan watched the black flood dragon escape, without pursuing.
