Chapter 157: Rescuing Ning Rongrong, Deep into the Star Dou Great Forest
"Zhao Wuji, release Yiran, or this kid is dead for sure!"
With Tang San taken hostage, Meng Shu finally regained some confidence. He was no longer forced to endure Zhao Wuji's pressure at every turn.
Zhao Wuji, on the other hand, had been anxious when Ning Rongrong was suddenly seized by the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent. But the moment Yu Tianlin spread his dragon wings and chased after her in the blink of an eye, Zhao Wuji's heart settled slightly.
With Yu Tianlin's strength, as long as he caught up to the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent, he would definitely be able to kill it and rescue Ning Rongrong. If that happened, there would be no major problem.
"But Yu Tianlin is truly incredible. His entire body can transform into a dragon, which is already outrageous. I didn't expect him to have another trick. Even his wings can transform like a dragon's. If I remember correctly, only Spirit Saints of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can do that. Is this what they call a genius?"
Even while shocked, Zhao Wuji understood that Yu Tianlin and Ning Rongrong should be fine. The most urgent thing now was dealing with Dragon Duke Meng Shu in front of him.
With that thought, Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice, "Meng Shu, you actually used Tang San to threaten me. Do you know the person behind him is someone you can't afford to provoke?"
Before leaving, Flander had specifically mentioned it, so Zhao Wuji already knew Tang San's identity.
"Oh, someone I can't afford to offend?" Meng Shu replied indifferently. "There aren't many people in the Spirit Master world that I can't afford to offend."
"His name is Tang San, and his surname is Tang."
To avoid being overheard by the Shrek Seven Devils, Zhao Wuji did not speak aloud. Instead, he used Spirit Power to force a sound thread and transmitted it directly to Meng Shu.
"His father is Clear Sky Douluo."
While Zhao Wuji used Tang Hao's name to intimidate Meng Shu, Yu Tianlin had already spread his dragon wings and chased after the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent.
The Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent had no special ability aside from its terrifying speed. Even with only a 1,000 year cultivation, its normal speed was comparable to a 5,000 year Spirit Beast. On top of that, it could burn the nutrients stored in its forehead crest to boost itself further, reaching a speed comparable to a 10,000 year Spirit Beast for a short time.
That was how it had escaped the Dragon and Snake couple.
Fortunately, Yu Tianlin's external Spirit Bone, the dragon wings, was high quality. Its flight speed surpassed the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent's, so the distance between them rapidly shrank.
I have to close in and use close range attacks. If I use long range lightning, I might hurt Ning Rongrong.
After making his decision, Yu Tianlin increased his Spirit Power output. With his dragon wings flapping, his speed suddenly climbed again.
This was not an active skill of the wings. It was a natural passive effect. The more Spirit Power he poured in, the faster he flew. As for the upper limit, Yu Tianlin did not know. With his current cultivation, he simply could not reach the wings' true limit.
"You damn snake, I'm coming!"
In an instant, Yu Tianlin streaked to the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent's side. His sharp dragon claws slashed down viciously, ripping into its left wing and crippling it.
Hiss!
The crested serpent hissed in pain, twisting its head as it spat a cloud of 7 colored mist at Yu Tianlin.
Yu Tianlin did not care. He knew that mist was only meant to intimidate. At most it would block vision. It was not poisonous at all.
He continued forward, intending to cripple the right wing as well. In panic, the serpent whipped its tail and flung Ning Rongrong, still bound by its coils, straight toward Yu Tianlin.
Yu Tianlin had no choice but to stop and catch her.
"Mm…"
Ning Rongrong groaned as she slammed into his arms, then went limp.
Yu Tianlin's expression changed. He immediately checked her. Ning Rongrong was still breathing, but it was faint and weak. Only then did he let out a breath.
Fortunately, what captured her was only a crested serpent. Crested serpents were non venomous. Their attack method was limited. They could only constrict and suffocate their prey, and that took time. Yu Tianlin had arrived in time, so she was not in serious danger.
The Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent had thrown Ning Rongrong only to buy itself a moment to escape. But its left wing had already been destroyed. With only its right wing intact, it could not maintain balance and began to fall, shaking wildly as it dropped.
"Hmph. Die!"
A murderous intent flashed through Yu Tianlin's eyes. With his left arm holding Ning Rongrong tight, he raised his right claw toward the serpent's head. At the same time, his 2nd Spirit Ring lit up, and he unleashed Thunder Dragon Claw.
Lightning surged across his right hand, condensing into the shape of a dragon claw before shooting out. After crossing more than 20 meters in an instant, it smashed into the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent's head and detonated.
Lightning erupted. Blood splattered.
The serpent's body stiffened, then went completely still as it plunged into the sea of trees below.
After rescuing Ning Rongrong and killing the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent, Yu Tianlin finally exhaled. But then a wave of dizziness hit him, and his heart tightened. He quickly shook his head, forcing himself to stay clear.
"Damn, my Spirit Power is almost depleted."
He had fought Chao Tianxiang, then pushed his dragon wings to chase at full speed, then used Thunder Dragon Claw. The consumption was enormous. He had only about 30 percent left.
"Where am I right now?"
Hovering in midair, Yu Tianlin swept his gaze downward. Below him was nothing but towering ancient trees, a vast green ocean stretching endlessly.
"I came from the direction of the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest," Yu Tianlin judged quickly. "And the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent fled deeper and deeper."
He wanted to fly back immediately, but his Spirit Power was already strained.
"I'll rest and recover first, and check Rongrong's condition properly."
With the decision made, Yu Tianlin tightened his hold on Ning Rongrong and dove into the forest.
The trees here were taller and thicker than those at the outer edge, clearly far older. The moment he entered, Yu Tianlin became alert. He pushed his senses to the limit, carefully feeling out the surroundings.
Soon, he noticed there were not many signs of Spirit Beast activity nearby. It did not seem like an area where Spirit Beasts gathered in large numbers.
After confirming it was relatively safe, Yu Tianlin found a massive tree. With his dragon claws, he dug out a hollow in the trunk, then carried Ning Rongrong inside.
