Wang Ying immediately said.
"Smart!"
Yang Tian praised Wang Ying.
The Witch is eager to restore her power, so there's no reason she wouldn't open a passage to the Fourth Continent.
And the surroundings are calm, which suggests the Witch is here looking for something.
Therefore, Yang Tian led the three girls further into the forest. Gradually, he could no longer hear any beastly roars, and the demonic qi in the air became even more intense.
"Yang Tian, why are there no beastly roars here?"
Wang Ying also noticed this.
"It's likely that there's a powerful Demon Beast here!"
Yang Tian extended his Divine Sense deeper into the forest, and soon he detected a formidable demonic qi. As he focused his eyes, he discovered a lake in the distance, from which the potent demonic qi emanated.
Yang Tian led the three girls towards the lake.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of Spiritual Breath filled with killing intent approaching.
"It's the Witch!"
Yang Tian said.
"The Witch?"
Wang Ying and Ling Ying suddenly became tense.
At this moment, a cold voice echoed: "It's you again! How daring of you, I haven't come for you, yet you dare approach me? Leave immediately or I'll make sure not even your bones remain!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ying nervously said to Yang Tian: "Yang Tian, we need to leave here immediately!"
Yang Tian didn't speak but utilized his Divine Sense to probe into the lake. Around the lake, he discovered several Spirit Needles.
These Spirit Needles were inserted around the lake, clearly forming an Array.
And the Witch was floating in the Array's core.
He smiled coldly and murmured: "This Witch has set up an Array here. She probably wants to seize the Demon Beast within the lake, and since she's in the Array's core, she can't easily escape!"
Wang Ying and Ling Ying felt somewhat relieved.
But remembering the Witch's terror, Ling Ying still said: "Yang, the Witch is beyond our capability to confront, we should leave."
Yang Tian glanced at Wang Yue in his arms but shook his head: "To restore Yueyue, we must seize the Demon Crystal from that Demon Beast. The darkness inside Yueyue is spreading uncontrollably, we can't delay any longer!"
"Big Brother, don't worry about me, leave quickly, Sister... The Witch is very powerful..."
Wang Yue raised her head, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
Yang Tian felt a pang in his heart, but it reinforced his determination to acquire the Demon Beast within the lake.
"You all stay here!"
Yang Tian said, then made his way quickly to the commotion.
The Witch's cold shout immediately echoed in the air: "You're courting death!"
"If you dare, come down and kill me!" Yang Tian retorted: "Aren't you setting up an Array now?"
"Very well! You recognize I'm setting up an Array, but do you wish to peer into the Demon Beast within the lake? If so, I will undoubtedly kill you!"
The woman's voice was extremely cold.
"Then I'll have to try!"
Yang Tian's figure flickered as he arrived at the lakeside.
He used his Divine Sense to peer into the lake, and in the depths, he saw a Flood Dragon, its body pitch black, emanating a dark aura from its chest. This Demon Crystal bolstered Yang Tian's resolve to intervene.
To save Wang Yue, he must wrest the Flood Dragon from the Witch's grasp.
"You think you can contend with me, how laughable!"
The woman scoffed coldly and waved her hand, instantly activating the Array she had set.
The entire lake boiled.
Yang Tian felt his soul being seared, and he rapidly retreated, a frown knitting his brow. The Array the Witch had set was immensely powerful, preventing him from advancing a single step.
"Pitiful weakling!"
The woman mocked as she saw Yang Tian unable to advance, then ignored him and descended from the air into the lake.
A burst of beastly roars erupted as the Flood Dragon soared out of the lake.
When the Flood Dragon emerged, Yang Tian realized its immense size, comparable to a hill.
Bang!
The woman struck the Flood Dragon with a palm, a deeply powerful blow that sent a mass of flesh and blood flying from its chest.
However, the Demon Crystal was deeply embedded within the dragon's chest, not easily extracted.
This strike also enraged the Flood Dragon.
The Flood Dragon roamed the air, emitting waves of thick black Demon Qi, the blood strands on its body binding towards the woman.
"Lowly creature!"
The woman sneered, dismissively launching a palm strike towards the Flood Dragon's head from mid-air.
Bang!
A rumbling explosion sounded.
With a single blow, the woman directly killed the Flood Dragon.
Then she manipulated the Array, suspending the dragon's body in the air. She unleashed over a dozen palms instantly, each crashing down on the dragon's chest, yet unable to break it open.
This surprised Yang Tian.
That the woman killed the Flood Dragon in a single strike didn't astonish Yang Tian.
After all, the woman was a formidable existence.
But that she couldn't break open the dragon's chest despite so many strikes, now that surprised Yang Tian.
"Yang Tian!"
Wang Ying's voice came from behind.
Yang Tian turned around and saw Wang Ying with the three girls, quickly saying: "Why are you here? This is very dangerous, retreat at once!"
"If the Witch wants to kill us, we'll be killed no matter where we retreat!" Wang Ying shook her head, looking up at the sky, quickly noticing something strange about the Flood Dragon: "What's going on? Why can't the Witch break open the Flood Dragon's chest despite so many strikes?"
