Chapter 269: 158, at this time, he's actually still thinking about such things?
The fierce wind swept through yellow leaves, drifting by to the side, the distant sky ominously dark and frightening.
Xu Yuan and Liu Ruoxue gazed at the dragon coiling in front of them like a towering tower, their expressions gravely serious.
The Dragon Clan has always been the protagonist in the myriad of strange and ghostly tales in this world.
In them, whether it be natural disasters, man-made calamities, or crises that threaten to destroy the world, they usually originate from their kind.
This reveals their status in the eyes of the human and demon races.
"You're the one Yaoyao took an interest in?"
The azure-purple Demon Dragon, covered in scales, opened its eyes and spoke in a chilling tone.
"I don't understand what you're talking about, who is Yaoyao?"
At this moment, Xu Yuan certainly wouldn't admit it, especially since he had just agreed to something with Liu Ruoxue. If someone she had never even heard of suddenly came into the picture, what would she think?
Therefore, he could only pretend to be completely clueless about what the other party was saying.
Hearing the Demon Dragon's words, Liu Ruoxue subconsciously furrowed her brow.
Why did it seem like there was an underlying secret to the Demons chasing them?
In fact, she had already found the unprovoked pursuit strange—after all, they weren't carrying any treasures, so why would anyone target them for no reason?
However, it wasn't just someone, but quite a few people, who had formed an encirclement.
If it was about jealousy, then that was indeed comprehensible.
Liu Ruoxue glanced at Xu Yuan and saw that his face was calm, his expression earnest, as if he truly didn't understand what the other party was saying.
Her mind was in disarray, but she slowly began to speak, "Are you mistaken, demon? My husband has always been with me, how could he possibly know this Yaoyao of whom you speak?"
Seeing her speak out, the Demon Dragon coiled into a circle and gave a cold smile, "Mistaken? How could I possibly mistake the person, with news spread personally by the Nine Tails Divine Lord, there can be no mistake."
"Oh?"
Liu Ruoxue uttered an 'oh,' her gaze shifting to Xu Yuan while she continued to interrogate, "The Nine Tails Divine Lord, who is that?"
"You don't know one of the Ten Saints, the Nine Tails Divine Lord? You don't look like the kind of old monster that has been in deep slumber for ages, so there's only one answer, you are not of the demon race."
This statement from Liu Ruoxue actually startled the Demon Dragon for a moment, but then, as if realizing something, it revealed a ferocious smile, "In that case, I'm relieved."
Liu Ruoxue wanted to ask further, but the Demon Dragon had lost the patience to answer her questions and simply raised its dragon claw.
Five pitch-black spatial rifts suddenly spread from the center of its claw, rushing towards them.
"Since you aren't of the demon race, I have no need to waste time with you."
The Demon Dragon glanced at them, stating coldly, "Remember, the one who will kill you is me, Long Ao!"
With just one claw, the sky ripped apart.
And with just one claw, it made them feel an unparalleled sense of crisis.
Liu Ruoxue clenched her fists. Only when facing a Nascent Soul Great Perfection demon did she truly understand the sense of powerlessness Xu Yuan felt when confronting the Confucian-Mo Ancestor.
Different from the helplessness of observing from the sidelines, unable to intervene, this time, she genuinely felt the powerless sensation of a lower realm being confronting a higher realm one.
So powerful, how could they possibly contend?
Just then, Xu Yuan stepped forward, shielding her.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately used the strongest technique he was capable of executing at the moment.
"Throw You Rem · Buddha's Fury Lotus."
The silhouette of a woman with her back turned to all beings emerged once again. This time, compared to before, the Charming Shadow was much clearer, with the cloud patterns on her fairy skirt seeming almost lifelike, as if they could drift off the surface at any moment.

With a light raise of her delicate jade hand, a purple and red Thunderfire Lotus flower bloomed gracefully.
The previously lackadaisical expression on Long Ao's face turned serious.
He actually sensed an aura of destruction emanating from it.
While still not enough to threaten him, it was enough to pique his interest somewhat.
"It's just a pity, you are only at the Core Formation mid-stage. If you were at Nascent Soul, no, even if you were at Core Formation Great Perfection, I'd have to take you a bit more seriously."
Long Ao shook his head and sighed, "However, having aroused some interest in me, who is invincible at the Nascent Soul stage, is something you can take pride in. Dying at the hands of Long Ao, this will be the proudest achievement of your life."
It was not that he was arrogant, but within the demon race, the Dragon Clan represents invincibility.
If it weren't for their sparsely populated tribe, looking like scattered sand, the demons would have been unified by them long ago.
Therefore, they had chosen the Nine Tails race, planning to form a marriage alliance. However, they were disrupted by this wild man who had come out of nowhere.
The reason he personally came out to deal with Xu Yuan was precisely because of this.
He would prove to Tao Yaoyao who truly deserved to marry her!
Boom!
Amidst the thunderous roar, the Dragon Claw Mark collided fiercely with the silhouette of the bewitching woman holding the Fire Lotus.
The shockwave rippled out, stirring the clouds and wind.
"Oh? Trying to escape?"
Long Ao seemed to have guessed something, his eyes widening as he looked at the dust cloud blurring the world around them.
"Bloodline Divine Ability · Dragon Eye!"
Suddenly, everything in his vision started to become clear.
Whether it was the raging Spiritual Power fluctuations that clouded Divine Sense, or the obscuring dust, in his eyes empowered with Bloodline Divine Ability, they seemed as though they didn't exist at all.
