"That's right, and their movements are becoming more and more regular!"

Lu Lingxiyao stared intently at the dragon scale patterns that were moving through the mud. She noticed that these patterns seemed to be moving along a specific trajectory, gradually forming a huge encirclement that trapped them inside.

"Master, I sense that these dragon scale patterns contain a very powerful energy, and this energy... seems to be integrated with this swamp!" The phantom's voice rang in Lu Lingxi Yao's mind, his tone full of vigilance.

"To blend into the swamp?"

Lu Lingxi Yao felt a chill in her heart. She suddenly remembered that the phantom had said that there was a hollow nest three hundred feet below this swamp. Could it be that these dragon scale patterns are related to that nest?

"Phantom, can you investigate the specifics of that nest?" Lu Lingxi asked in her mind.

"Master, I'm trying, but the interference from these dragon scale patterns is too strong, and my vines are having a hard time penetrating them..." Phantom's voice sounded strained.

"let me help you!"

As Lu Lingxi spoke, a burst of nine-colored spiritual power erupted from her fingertips. She injected this power into the vines of the phantom, and instantly, the vines of the phantom shimmered with dazzling nine-colored light, rapidly spreading into the depths of the swamp.

"Master, I sense it! That nest... that nest seems to be a huge seal!" The phantom's voice suddenly became excited. "These dragon scale patterns are part of the seal!"

"A seal?" Lu Lingxi was startled. She suddenly realized something. "Could it be that something is sealed beneath this swamp?"

Just then, the entire swamp suddenly began to boil violently, the black mud churning and bubbling, and a strong, nauseating stench wafted over.

"Oh no! Something's about to come out!"

Suzaku's expression changed. She sensed a powerful aura rising from the depths of the swamp. This aura was filled with evil and violence, making her feel a chill run down her spine.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the mud in the center of the swamp suddenly exploded, and a huge black shadow soared into the sky, bringing with it a cloud of mud and miasma.

To everyone's astonishment, a dark green dragon, hundreds of meters long, appeared before them. The dragon was covered in thick scales, and it had two huge horns on its head, like two sharp scimitars.

Even more shockingly, this dragon had three eyes on its forehead. Two of them, like those of an ordinary dragon, gleamed with a fierce light, while the third eye, located in the center of its forehead, was tightly closed and inlaid with a broken Buddhist artifact. This artifact was dark gold in color and covered with cracks, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment. Even so, it still emitted a faint Buddhist light, forming a stark contrast with the evil aura emanating from the dragon.

"This...this is..." Huan Yue's voice trembled. He had never seen such a huge dragon before, not to mention that this dragon was emanating an aura that filled him with fear.

“This is a venomous dragon, and… it seems to have been sealed for a long time!” Lu Lingxi said in a deep voice, her gaze fixed on the broken Buddhist artifact on the dragon’s forehead, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

"Roar!"

The venomous dragon roared to the sky with a deafening roar, its voice filled with anger and resentment. Its blood-red eyes stared intently at Lu Lingxi and the others, as if it wanted to devour them alive.

"Everyone be careful, this venomous dragon is extremely powerful!" Lu Lingxi Yao warned.

"Phantom Moon, transform!"

At Lu Lingxi Yao's command, Huan Yue immediately transformed into a giant Gale Wolf. He was agile, his fur stood up like steel needles, and his wolf eyes flashed with a blue light. He roared to the sky, and wind blades condensed around him.

"Fire Tornado!"

With a loud shout, Huan Yue merged his wind and fire elemental powers together, forming a massive wind and fire tornado that swept towards the poisonous dragon.

A hint of contempt flashed in the eyes of the venomous dragon. It opened its blood-red maw and spat out a stream of black venom, which transformed into venomous snakes in the air and coiled around the fire tornado.

"Zizzizi..."

When the venomous snake came into contact with the fire tornado, it emitted a piercing corrosive sound. The power of the fire tornado was rapidly weakened by the venom and eventually dissipated.

"What powerful venom!" Huan Yue was shocked. He hadn't expected his attack to be neutralized so easily.

"Phantom, wrap your vines around its horns!" Lu Lingxi Yao continued to command.

Upon hearing this, Phantom swayed, and several dark green vines, like serpents, coiled around the horns of the venomous dragon.

The venomous dragon snorted coldly, and its scales suddenly stood up, like several sharp blades, cutting the phantom's vines to pieces.

"Hiss hiss hiss..." The phantom's vines were severed, and black smoke billowed from the cut, caused by the poisonous blood of the venomous dragon corroding the vines.

"Damn it, the scales of this venomous dragon are so hard!" Phantom said through gritted teeth. Although his vines were tough, they seemed so fragile in front of the scales of this venomous dragon.

"Vermilion Bird, unleash your Divine Beast Domain!" Lu Lingxi Yao said to Vermilion Bird.

Zhuque nodded, spread her wings, and a powerful divine beast aura erupted from her body, forming a crimson domain that enveloped the venomous dragon.

However, to Suzaku's shock, her Divine Beast Domain was unable to suppress the Poisonous Dragon at all; instead, it was distorted by a certain power emanating from the Poisonous Dragon.

"How is this possible? My Divine Beast Domain has failed?"

Zhuque exclaimed in surprise. She had never encountered such a situation before. The Divine Beast Domain was an innate ability of divine beasts, which could exert a powerful suppressive effect on demonic beasts and spirit beasts. But now, her Divine Beast Domain had no effect on this poisonous dragon.

Lu Lingxi carefully observed the venomous dragon and discovered that vortexes of spiritual energy were appearing on the scales of the dragon, rotating in reverse. These vortexes seemed to be able to absorb and transform energy, silently dissolving the divine beast pressure of the Vermilion Bird.

"This venomous dragon... is no ordinary creature!" Lu Lingxi thought to herself. They were in big trouble this time.

"Since that's the case, I'll give it a try too!" Lu Lingxi took a deep breath, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and appeared above the poisonous dragon's head like a ghost. She used the Seven Star Step, a secret footwork of the Flying Snow Palace that could instantly increase speed and agility.

"Flying Snow Sword, draw your sheath!"

With a delicate shout, Lu Lingxi Yao drew her sword instantly. A sharp sword light flashed as she infused the sword with nine types of spiritual power. Immediately, the sword burst forth with dazzling nine-colored light.

"Ice Lightning Sword Rainbow!"

Lu Lingxi Yao brandished the Flying Snow Sword, and a sword rainbow of ice and lightning slashed towards the poisonous dragon. This sword rainbow contained the dual power of ice-type spiritual power and lightning-type spiritual power, and its power was astonishing.

"Roar!"

The venomous dragon roared, opening its blood-red maw and spewing out a black poisonous mist. This mist transformed into a shield in the air, blocking the sword rainbow.

"Boom!" The sword rainbow collided with the poisonous mist shield, producing a loud noise. The power of ice and lightning and the power of poisonous mist corroded each other and eventually dissipated.

"Such strong defense!" Lu Lingxi's heart sank. She hadn't expected that her full-force attack would be blocked so easily by the poisonous dragon.

Just then, the venomous dragon suddenly launched an attack. It opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and bit at Huan Yue.

"Huan Yue, watch out!" Lu Lingxi Yao cried out in alarm. She wanted to help, but it was too late.

Just as the venomous dragon's fangs were about to bite Huan Yue's throat, at this critical moment, a sharp sword light flashed, and the Flying Snow Sword pierced into the venomous dragon's jaw with lightning speed.

"Pfft!" The Flying Snow Sword pierced through the venomous dragon's jaw, drawing out a stream of black blood. This blood was extremely foul-smelling and emitted a strong poisonous odor.

"Roar!" The venomous dragon let out a painful roar, violently shaking its head and flinging the Flying Snow Sword away.

Lu Lingxi quickly caught the Flying Snow Sword. She discovered that the sword was stained with a trace of black venom, which was corroding the blade.

"What a potent venom! It can even corrode the Flying Snow Sword!" Lu Lingxi was secretly shocked. She quickly used her spiritual power to clean the venom off the Flying Snow Sword.

Lu Lingxi carefully examined the wound on the venomous dragon's jaw. She discovered that the wound was not a new one, but an old one. The scales around the wound had fallen off, revealing the flesh underneath. Moreover, there was a trace of familiar sword intent remaining in the wound.

“This is… the sword intent from three hundred years ago?” Lu Lingxi’s heart stirred. She suddenly remembered that three hundred years ago, a powerful sword cultivator had entered the Black Mist Swamp. Could it be that this wound was left by that sword cultivator?

"Roar!"

The venomous dragon roared again, seemingly enraged by Lu Lingxi. Its three blood-red eyes stared intently at Lu Lingxi, filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.
