Chapter 220: Chapter 220

【The moment the flood dragon appeared.】

【Ye Yu took a step forward, grounding himself.】

【He merely adjusted his stance slightly,】

【but had already activated nearly a hundred formations.】

【He was ready to act at any moment.】

【At this time.】

【Ye Yu had prepared for the worst-case scenario.】

【Even if this flood dragon possessed strength beyond that of the Taoist from the Western Frontier Continent,】

【he would still be able to hold his ground.】

【This would buy him time to take Gan Duo Duo and leave this place.】

【He wouldn’t let it turn into a desperate exchange like the last dream!】@@novelbin@@

【Soon.】

【The flood dragon's form flickered.】

【It transformed into a middle-aged man with a sinister expression.】

【He looked at Gan Duo Duo with a greedy gaze.】

【His voice was hoarse as he said: After waiting for hundreds of years, you finally ascended.】

【Hearing this,】

【Gan Duo Duo frowned slightly, feeling very unfamiliar with the middle-aged man before her.】

【It seemed she had never seen this person before, right?】

【But why did he say he had waited for hundreds of years?】

【Gan Duo Duo felt uncertain.】

【So she inquired in her sea of heart whether Gan Zhi Zui recognized this man.】

【The latter stared at him for a long time and found him equally unfamiliar.】

【I have not seen this person.】

【But be careful; his strength is formidable.】

【You are not his match. Break the seal and give me control of the body; I will deal with him!】

【Upon hearing this, Gan Duo Duo smiled and shook her head.】

【Sister, you think you can trick me into breaking the seal this way?】

【Not a chance!】

【I won’t be fooled!】

【Gan Zhi Zui was filled with frustration.】

【She roared again: I’m not deceiving you! You really are not his opponent!】

【In response, Gan Duo Duo did not say anything further.】

【Ye Yu, who was standing beside them, furrowed his brows slightly.】

【Something was off!】

【The strength of this flood dragon was nowhere near comparable to that Taoist from the Western Frontier Continent.】

【From the fluctuations of spiritual energy,】

【it seemed to be only in the mid-stage of ascension!】

【Could it be that he was different from the Taoist?】

【To verify this,】

【Ye Yu coldly asked: Do ascenders die?】

【As soon as these words were spoken.】

【Both the middle-aged man and Gan Duo Duo showed expressions of confusion.】

【What theory is that?】

【The ascension realm is the final step to becoming an immortal; why would anyone die?】

【In the sea of her heart.】

【Gan Zhi Zui's eyes suddenly widened.】

【She could now confirm.】

【Ye Yu definitely knew something.】

【Otherwise, he wouldn’t have randomly said those four words!】

【Do ascenders die?】

【What does that even mean?】

【Gan Zhi Zui felt an overwhelming number of doubts in her heart.】

【She was eager to shatter the seal and gain control over Ye Yu, to properly ask him what he knew!】

【However, even though Gan Duo Duo wasn’t skilled in battle, she had spent a long time in the sea of her heart.】

【Her divine soul was slightly stronger than Gan Zhi Zui’s.】

【Thus, the seal set up by Gan Duo Duo in the sea of her heart could not be broken by Gan Zhi Zui.】

【This was also why Gan Zhi Zui hadn’t fought Gan Duo Duo for control earlier.】

【The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: What nonsense are you talking about? A mere tribulation realm has no place to speak here!】

【Shut up, don’t speak of my husband like that; otherwise, I won’t hold back!】

【Gan Duo Duo stood protectively in front of Ye Yu.】

【She glared coldly at the middle-aged man.】

【However, this statement not only failed to intimidate him but also made him unable to suppress a laugh.】

【Not hold back on me?】

【That statement is really quite amusing!】

【Poisonous woman Gan Zhi Zui, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Fang Gu Cai!】

【I specialize in swallowing snakes!】

【Upon hearing this last sentence.】

【Gan Duo Duo couldn’t help but gasp!】

【Why swallow snakes of all things?】

【That’s so excessive!】

【Fang Gu Cai wasn’t lying; he indeed specialized in swallowing snakes!】

【His true form was that of a snake.】

【The reason he could become a flood dragon was due to a fortuitous opportunity.】

【Legend has it that a snake transforms into a serpent after five hundred years, a serpent becomes a flood dragon after another five hundred, and a flood dragon becomes a dragon after five hundred!】

【In ancient times, such transformations did occur.】

【But to transform from a snake to a dragon requires specific cultivation techniques and continuous tribulation.】

【Now, due to the passage of time, the techniques had been lost.】

【A snake is just a snake, a serpent is just a serpent, and a flood dragon is just a flood dragon.】

【It has been a long time since anyone has heard of a snake transforming into a flood dragon.】

【However, the path of the Dao is vast, and there are always exceptions.】

【Thousands of years ago, Fang Gu Cai was still a small snake at the Golden Core stage.】

【By chance, he obtained a dragon transformation technique.】

【He only needed to continuously swallow his kind,】

【and he could transform from a snake to a serpent, from a serpent to a flood dragon, and ultimately to a dragon for ascension.】

【Over the years, Fang Gu Cai worked tirelessly.】

【He finally transformed into a flood dragon a millennium ago.】

【But the rate of evolution had also slowed down considerably.】

【After various tests, he concluded that the higher the cultivation and talent of the swallowed snake, the more beneficial it was to his rate of evolution.】

【As for those ordinary snake demons with mediocre talent, no matter how many he swallowed, they were utterly useless.】

【Thus, several hundred years ago, Fang Gu Cai set his sights on Gan Zhi Zui.】

【The reason was simple; the title of the Poisonous Woman of the Western Frontier was far too renowned.】

【It was hard not to take notice.】

【Fang Gu Cai was also quite patient, waiting for hundreds of years.】

【Only after Gan Zhi Zui successfully ascended to the realm of ascension did he finally show his true colors.】

【So, in his eyes.】

【Gan Zhi Zui was like a long-awaited delicacy; as long as he swallowed her,】

【perhaps he could take a giant leap and transform directly into a dragon.】

【At that point, he could quietly await his ascension without needing to struggle so hard to find prey.】

【After all, there is a significant difference between a flood dragon ascending to the heavenly realm and a true dragon ascending to the heavenly realm!】

【The more he thought about it, the more excited Fang Gu Cai became, unable to contain his excitement.】

【He immediately moved toward Gan Zhi Zui—no, more precisely, toward Gan Duo Duo.】

【He was unaware that the figure before him was Gan Duo Duo,】

【and not the famed Poisonous Woman Gan Zhi Zui.】

【However, even if he knew, it wouldn’t matter.】

【Fang Gu Cai wouldn’t care about who controlled the body.】

【To him, it was all the same.】

【They were all a great supplement!】

【Gan Duo Duo possessed the cultivation of the ascension realm but had pitiful battle experience.】

【She was unable to unleash even seventy percent of her strength.】

【Seeing Fang Gu Cai approach rapidly,】

【her instinctive reaction was one of fear.】

【Just as Fang Gu Cai was less than three meters away from Gan Duo Duo,】

【dozens of formations lit up from the ground.】

【They locked Fang Gu Cai’s limbs in place.】

【Following that, Ye Yu raised his hand.】

【Gan Duo Duo's figure swiftly retreated over a hundred feet!】

【When she stabilized herself.】

【Gan Duo Duo was still somewhat shaken.】

【It was evident that all this was done by Ye Yu!】

【She had intended to grab Ye Yu and escape together.】

【But then she realized.】

【Ye Yu had already engaged in battle with Fang Gu Cai!】
