It was extremely fast.
The Candle Dragon's dragon claw seemed to be able to distort the space. The dragon claw reached in front of Chi Guyan as soon as it moved forward.
Boom!
The dragon claw collided with the Traceless Sword.
As expected, Chi Guyan's body flew back like a meteor. Her rosy face turned pale instantly.
"Why didn't she dodge?" Qian Yu was astonished when she saw this.
That was because based on her impression, Chi Guyan was definitely not a reckless person. Although the Candle Dragon's attack was very fast, Chi Guyan still had a chance to dodge it.
However, Chi Guyan did not dodge it.
Not only did he not dodge, but he also charged towards the claw.
Pfft! Chi Guyan spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face was pale and she looked like she had fainted from exhaustion. Her body fell straight down.
"Hmph, you can't even withstand a single blow!" The Candle Dragon snorted coldly.
Qian Yu clenched her fists and teeth. As the Tower Master of the Ling Yun Tower, she could not stand by and watch the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower die for her. She could not stand by and watch Chi Guyan get killed by the Candle Dragon just to let her escape.
She could not do any of that.
Even if she had to die, she hoped that she would be the first one to die.
"Chi Guyan, since you called me auntie, I won't leave you alone!" Qian Yu moved and a silver radiance rose from the top of her head.
She held her two silver longswords tightly and the eight moons were extremely dazzling.
"She's just an ant." The Candle Dragon took a glance at the eight moons above Qian Yu's head. Unlike how he looked at Chi Guyan, he had no intention of taking another look at them.
In fact, he did not even attack Qian Yu.
He simply allowed the thick black fog to press downwards.
It was a form of arrogance that came from fear, or rather, contempt. After all, he felt that Qian Yu was not powerful enough for him to attack her.
However, at this moment, something strange happened.
Chi Guyan, who seemed to have fainted, opened her eyes the moment she landed on the ground. Then, she did a huge turn the moment she landed.
Crack! She stomped on the ground.
The huge impact caused the stones on the ground to shatter.
On the other hand, Chi Guyan made use of the force to press her body against the ground and hugged Qian Yu, who was ready to die.
"Go!" As Chi Guyan hugged Qian Yu, she tapped the ground with one of her feet and accelerated to the maximum speed in an instant.
Qian Yu's expression changed.
Although Chi Guyan only said one word, she seemed to have understood everything. Chi Guyan was not knocked out by the Candle Dragon.
That could only mean …
Everything that Chi Guyan did just now was on purpose.
He purposely exchanged blows with the Candle Dragon and paid the price of being injured so that the Candle Dragon would ignore him. Then, he took the opportunity to escape with her.
"Such a strong mind!" Qian Yu was astonished.
Chi Guyan's attempt to escape by borrowing the force of the attack at the risk of being injured was not considered very strong. In fact, it could even be said to be a little desperate.
That was because if the Candle Dragon didn't think that Chi Guyan was knocked out by the attack, Chi Guyan's actions would have put her in great danger.
After all, in that situation, Chi Guyan would definitely die if the Candle Dragon struck her with his claw.
However, just like what was said.
Qian Yu knew that Chi Guyan was definitely not a reckless person. Therefore, the only explanation was that Chi Guyan was very confident when she made that decision.
Did she see through the Candle Dragon's arrogance?
Then, she made use of the Candle Dragon's arrogance to guess that the Candle Dragon would definitely not attack a second time?
What a terrifying mind.
Moreover, she was facing a powerful monster like the Candle Dragon. However, she was still able to remain so calm and rational under such pressure.
Qian Yu was really astonished.
That was because she clearly knew that she had already lost control under such pressure. She had lost her calmness and almost died.
Calm down.
She had to be calm.
If Chi Guyan could do it, so could she!
Qian Yu did not realize that Chi Guyan's actions were not only accurate, but more importantly, it allowed her to regain her "sobriety".
"Retreat!" Qian Yu made a decision.
The disciples of the Ling Yun Tower who were about to charge forward trembled after hearing Qian Yu's words. After seeing that Qian Yu was saved by Chi Guyan, they stopped in their tracks.
Without hesitation, they retreated in all directions.
"Trying to escape?! Stop them! " Monster Emperor Baizhi did not like the Candle Dragon. However, no matter what, the Candle Dragon was an ancient Godly Beast of the Monster Race.
Moreover, the Candle Dragon was very powerful, extremely powerful.
If the Candle Dragon did not appear at the right time, the Gate of God of the Monster Realm would have been forcefully closed by Chi Guyan. If that happened, her plan would be severely damaged.
Therefore, regardless of whether she was willing to or not, she had to cooperate with the Candle Dragon and stop Chi Guyan, Qian Yu and the rest.
"Attack!"
"Don't let them escape!"
"Kill them!"
The Monster army roared furiously after hearing Monster Emperor Baizhi's words and chased after the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower.
However, one figure was obviously faster than them.
The Candle Dragon!
His gigantic body brought along thick black fog and appeared in front of Chi Guyan and Qian Yu in an instant. His gigantic body blocked the sky.
"Roar!" The furious roar of a beast shook the forest.
The Candle Dragon was furious. He was arrogant and looked down on all living beings. However, the word 'calm' did not match his personality. In fact, he had never been calm before.
As an ancient Godly Beast.
Moreover, he was a real God.
The Candle Dragon was extremely noble and could be said to be the top existence among the ancient Godly Beasts.
However, the name 'Candle Dragon' represented hell, death, and bloody slaughter. The reason for that was its personality. It was violent and cruel.
Kacha! The Candle Dragon stepped on the ground with his four dragon claws and cracks spread from his feet. Gravel and dust flew everywhere.
As a noble God.
How could he tolerate being teased by a human?
"How dare you tease me?! Brat, I'm going to tear you apart and eat you bit by bit! "The Candle Dragon opened his mouth and his sharp teeth shone with a blue radiance.
"How dare you call yourself a God? It's just a bloodthirsty and cruel beast. "Chi Guyan stopped moving, but she frowned deeply.
The Candle Dragon was too powerful.
Moreover, his speed was extremely fast.
Even though she had already predicted the Candle Dragon's personality and found an opportunity to escape, she was still unable to overcome the huge difference in their abilities.
"You said that I'm a beast?!" The Candle Dragon roared and the tightly shut eye on his forehead suddenly opened. It was a black hole that looked like a whirlpool.
It was pitch black.
It looked like hell.
At the instant when the eye opened, all the light in the world seemed to have been devoured and the entire world turned dark as if it had turned from day to night.
The Candle Dragon was the legendary Mountain God of Mount Zhong.
He could change the day and the moon.
"Chi Guyan, leave now. I'll hold this monster back, I'm begging you!" Qian Yu struggled free from Chi Guyan's hand and stood in front of Chi Guyan to block her way.
She could tell that the Candle Dragon was not a Godly State expert.
He was a real God.
"Aunty, do you trust me?" Chi Guyan did not answer Qian Yu. Instead, she looked at the Candle Dragon's opened eye and took a step forward slowly.
"What?" Qian Yu did not understand.
"If you trust me, please move aside because you and the Ling Yun Tower can only survive if I stay. However, if you stay … All of us will die." Chi Guyan said calmly.
"If I stay … All of us will die …" Qian Yu's expression changed and she repeated Chi Guyan's words subconsciously.
That's right!
Whether she admitted it or not.
Chi Guyan was telling the truth.
Given her abilities, she could not hold the Candle Dragon back. Not only that, but the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower would also die along with her.
Only Chi Guyan could hold the monster in front of her back so that she and the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower could escape.
"Aunty, let's go." Chi Guyan said calmly.
"I … understand!" Qian Yu bit her lips so hard that it bled. She knew that Chi Guyan was much more important to the humankind than her.
If possible, she was willing to sacrifice herself to save Chi Guyan and preserve hope for humankind. However, she did not have the ability to protect Chi Guyan.
She had no choice.
That was because one person's death would always be more worthwhile than all of them dying together.
"None of you can leave, all of you shall die!" The Candle Dragon moved at this moment. The thick black mist spread and it was much larger than before.
However, Qian Yu was shocked to find out.
The Candle Dragon's whirlpool-like eye was no longer pitch-black. Instead, there was a silver-white crescent moon.
Could it change the sun and moon?!
No, it was devouring the sun and moon.
Qian Yu also had the radiance of the moon and her Dao was also comprehended by the moon. However, she knew that the eight moons above her head were vastly different from the crescent moon in the Candle Dragon's eye.
"Guyan, you must survive!" Without hesitation, Qian Yu turned around and fled. That was because the Candle Dragon had started to move and the black mist was about to cover the entire mountain.
She also knew that once the black mist covered the entire peak of the Heaven Zen Mountain, it would be impossible for her to escape. She would only be able to die.
"Evil creature, your opponent is me!" Chi Guyan smiled faintly when she saw Qian Yu turn around and flee. Then, she turned to look at the Candle Dragon.
Five-colored radiance shone.
A gigantic shadow appeared behind her and covered her entire body instantly. A long tail that was covered in scales swam on the ground and radiance flowed on it.
Then, Chi Guyan dashed forward.
There was no excessive greeting or introduction, because in front of a real enemy, she would never waste time talking nonsense.
A purple radiance shone.
She had a human body and a snake tail. Her long black hair hung down to her waist. Even in the darkness, Chi Guyan's noble and proud aura still gave off a bright feeling.
"Hmm?!" The Candle Dragon's expression clearly changed this time. That was because the aura on Chi Guyan's body gave him a very familiar feeling.
However, this familiar feeling did not stop the Candle Dragon even though he was extremely furious. In the thick black mist, the Candle Dragon extended his dragon claw again.
The claw tore the space apart.
It appeared in front of Chi Guyan.
However, this time, the claw did not hit Chi Guyan. Instead, it brushed past Chi Guyan's shoulder and left a tear in the space behind her.
At the same time, Chi Guyan's sword arrived.
It was a sword that came from above.
Countless purple radiance shone and turned into countless sword radiance that fell from the sky and gathered above the Candle Dragon's head.
It was as if countless small purple swords had gathered to form a gigantic sword that was crystal clear like jade. It fell from the sky and pierced the Candle Dragon's single eye.
"Roar!" The Candle Dragon roared like a beast.
The crescent moon shone in his opened eye and the thick mist gathered above his head. It looked like a crescent moon that shone through the dark clouds.
The gigantic sword fell.
It pierced into the thick mist.
Then …
It disappeared without a trace.
Then, the crescent moon let out a beam of silvery-white radiance that penetrated the thick black mist and charged towards the sky.
"Boom!" A thunderous sound was heard.
In the dark night sky, a figure appeared from the countless purple sword radiance. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, the figure only appeared for a moment.
Very quickly, it disappeared into the sky again and turned into a "silver river" that stretched across the sky. Spots of radiance flickered continuously like the stars in the sky.
The stars flowed in the sky.
Then, it fell slowly. It was different from the thousands of sword radiance earlier on.
If the sword radiance was extremely fast, then the silver river that was formed by the stars was extremely slow. It was as slow as a slowly flowing stream.
"Change? I would like to see how you are going to change! " The Candle Dragon moved his body and the thick black mist surrounded his four claws. He rose into the sky and flew towards the silver river.
He didn't care about Qian Yu and the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower anymore because Chi Guyan's abilities had piqued his interest.
There was no sound in the air.
Evidently, Chi Guyan wouldn't answer the Candle Dragon.
However, the silver river kept changing its shape in the air. It flowed like a stream, curved and flowed into the thick black fog that surrounded the Candle Dragon.
Slowly, it seeped into the Candle Dragon's body.
Bit by bit.
Although the silver river was flowing very slowly, there were far too many star-like specks of light. It was impossible to count them all, and it felt as if they were about to penetrate the black fog.
