Seeing that the Jiao Dragon was much larger than he had anticipated, the elder exclaimed, "Retreat quickly!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders and disciples nearly without any hesitation, took several steps backward...
With a "plop" sound, the Jiao Dragon, dozens of meters in size, burst forth from the swirling sea, its massive body causing a small sudden downpour of rain, continuously dripping down from above...
Those crimson eyes stared down intensely at the small figures of the elder and the others below, and within a few breaths, the fierce wind whistled around them...
Meanwhile, the clear eyes of everyone finally made out its appearance...
They saw the Jiao Dragon had thick legs and its body was covered in sturdy, dark black scales, especially the enormous head that bizarrely resembled a horse's, while its tail was like that of a scale serpent, long and imposing!
Looking up at the terrifying colossus in the sky, the throats of the disciples below swallowed hard, their legs began to tremble uncontrollably...
One of the disciples exclaimed in shock, "Is... Is this the Jiao Dragon? Such... Such a terrifying aura, it's hard even to breathe!"
Another disciple said with a face full of fear, "Are we really going to slay this creature? Could it not swallow all of us with a single bite??"
"This isn't just a Jiao Dragon; it's already taken on the form of a true dragon!"
"We can't possibly defeat it! Let's retreat!!"
"I don't want to end up as food in its mouth!!"
Hearing these disciples lose their will to fight, the elder's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "All disciples of Gui Xuan Sect, do not panic, quickly mount your swords and fly!!"
Only in the air could they find an opportunity to counterattack!
After his words fell, the disciples and elders immediately stepped onto their personal swords,
The Jiao Dragon seemed to be enraged by them, letting out a roar from its mouth...
"ROAR!!!"
Immediately after, it fiercely opened its massive Abyssal Behemoth mouth and lunged forward, snapping at the closest Gui Xuan Sect disciples...
The disciples who reacted in time escaped using their personal swords, but those who didn't were swallowed in an instant, the Jiao Dragon's massive jaws brutally chewed a few times, its terrifying fangs leaking streams of blood...
Clearly, the disciples who were swallowed had become its meal...
Seeing the disciples being devoured, the elder shouted angrily, "Damn it! Attack! Lower-Grade Profound Martial Skill, Lightning Strike!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "thunderous" noise in the sky, followed by a terrifying thunderbolt with an arc of light bursting forth and striking toward the Jiao Dragon...
When the trembling thunderbolt hit the Jiao Dragon's body, it made a painful howl...
However, the attacked area merely shed a few scales and sustained no serious damage...
The other elders, seeing this, widened their eyes in disbelief, saying, "What?? The Grand Elder's attack only made the Jiao Dragon lose a few scales!!"
"It... It can't be real! Such terrifying defense! How can we fight this!"
The elder on the far left coldly shouted, "Stop the nonsense! Take advantage now and focus your attacks on the area where the scales have fallen off!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders' eyes suddenly lit up, and they unhesitatingly unleashed their martial techniques!!
"Yellow Grade Top Quality, Waterfall Sword Art!!"
"Yellow Grade Top Quality, Greedy Grasp!"
"Profound Grade Lower Quality, Gui Xuan Grand Slash!"
Several terrifying attacks, filled with a bitter force, bombed the area of the Jiao Dragon that was not covered by scales...
"Boom"
Under the joint attack of these elders, the flesh at the impacted area was forcibly torn apart, and dark golden blood oozed out...
The elder's eyes narrowed, suddenly emitting a few sharp gleams, "Did it work? If so… all disciples of Gui Xuan Sect, focus on attacking the Jiao Dragon's eyes!"
Even if its scales are incredibly tough, could they possibly protect its eyes?
This remark awakened the frantic disciples of Gui Xuan Sect, who exclaimed, "Right! If we attack the Jiao Dragon's eyes and blind it, it will be only a matter of time before we can slay it!"
"That's right! Worthy of the Grand Elder, to observe with such meticulous detail!"
"Everyone together, attack the Jiao Dragon's eyes. Today we must avenge our fallen disciples."
In an instant, their focus converged on the Jiao Dragon's eyes, continuously unleashing martial techniques and bombarding them…
But the Jiao Dragon, having developed a measure of intelligence, evaded the attacks aimed at its eyes as much as possible…
Xu Sheng, who was standing to the side with arms folded and watching everything, had a look of surprise flickering in his eyes…
Musing inwardly, "This Jiao Dragon is as large as the Flame Serpents in the Lower Realm…"
If only the Flame Serpent could be as large, then it might be able to contend with this Jiao Dragon!
But that was just wishful thinking…
Compared to Xu Sheng's composure, the civilians behind became panicky…
"We should run! The Jiao Dragon is too terrifying; we can't possibly defeat it!"
"I'm afraid the Elder and disciples of Gui Xuan Sect are more dead than alive. We don't need to waste our lives here. Everybody, run!"
"Run! Run! I don't want to die!"
"Even the Grand Elder of Gui Xuan Sect can only destroy a few of its scales with his attacks, killing it is virtually impossible!"
In just a few seconds, the civilians all chose to flee the site, without the slightest intention to stay!
Only Xu Sheng remained, his expression unchanged…
The elder attacking the Jiao Dragon suddenly noticed Xu Sheng's presence and frowned, "Why is there still someone there?"
At the same time, it wasn't only him who discovered Xu Sheng, but the Jiao Dragon as well!!
After all, the latter was the only one still on the ground, naturally drawing its attention…
Its crimson eyes immediately locked onto Xu Sheng, decisively stretching its elongated body and opening its Abyssal Behemoth of a mouth to bite him…
This scene, clearly seen by the elders of Gui Xuan Sect, made them grimace, "Damn it! The Jiao Dragon's targeting him!"
"Damn! Is this kid seeking death??"
"It's too late! That kid is doomed!"
The bloodthirsty Jiao Dragon bit down, and then instinctively started to chew…
But the next moment, it realized there was nothing in its mouth! The expected taste of fresh blood didn't come…
And at that moment, Xu Sheng was already standing atop its massive body…
Seeing this, the elders of Gui Xuan Sect rubbed their eyes, disbelieving, "What the fuck?? When did that kid dodge??"
"How could he possibly escape under those circumstances, could it have been his clone??"
"No! Not a clone. His speed is simply too fast, even our eyes couldn't lock onto his position!"
"Who on earth is this kid??!!"
