After regaining his mobility, Kenta quickly flashed to Dan Heng's side and supported his shoulder.
"Are you alright... No, you must be..."
At this moment, the Shard Sword had already pierced through the opponent's chest, while Dan Heng lowered his head, silent. Yanqing, seeing that he was a step too late, angrily pointed his sword at Blade.
"You!"
But to everyone's surprise, Blade, having lost his weapon, showed no fear; instead, he spread his arms and took two steps forward.
"Kid, let me introduce..." He spoke as he walked, forcing Yanqing to retreat two steps. "The one behind you is a great sinner... who betrayed the Xianzhou and caused great chaos... The sinner eternally exiled, the Vidyadhara Dragon Elder—Imbibitor Lunae!"
As Blade's final words fell, a surging power erupted from Dan Heng's body. A gentle current of water pushed away Kenta, who was supporting him, followed by a torrent of terrifying waves that enveloped Dan Heng's entire body, slowly lifting him into the air.
When the water exploded, a completely new Dan Heng appeared before everyone, with azure dragon horns on his head and long hair reaching his waist.
Kenta: "..."
Why are all of you like this? Stelle got stabbed once and awakened the Preservation Path, you get stabbed once and directly become the Dragon Elder? Should I also find someone to stab me to unlock new powers or something?
While Kenta complained, he was relieved to see that Dan Heng was fine. But at this moment, Yanqing was utterly bewildered. He looked at Blade, then at Kafka, and then at the transformed Dan Heng.
"If that's the case, then I can only apprehend all of you together! And let the General decide!" Yanqing shouted, summoning his six flying swords.
Yanqing charged forward, attacking both Blade and Dan Heng simultaneously. Seeing this, the two could only temporarily join forces to resist him. Interestingly, they spent half the battle arguing with each other, clearly not taking the young boy seriously.
Yanqing, constantly being pushed back, suddenly remembered that his grand-uncle was still nearby. He cast a hopeful gaze at Kenta.
Kenta: "..."
He remained indifferent. Kenta was in a very difficult position. The Stellaron Hunters were enemies, but his companion had just transformed into a top wanted criminal. Helping Yanqing was impossible—he wouldn't betray Dan Heng. But attacking Yanqing, his "grand-disciple," felt heartless.
"Grand-uncle Kenta! Why are you just watching! Have you betrayed the Xianzhou?!" Yanqing shouted incredulously.
Kenta: OMO
"...I can't drag this out any longer..." Dan Heng thought, his eyes narrowing. "Azure Dragon Cleanses the World!"
A giant dragon made of water roared towards Yanqing. The young man, exhausted, collapsed to the ground. Dan Heng, realizing the danger, hurriedly diverted the water dragon's direction toward the nearby sea.
"Hah! How impressive!" Kenta exclaimed, watching the dragon surge away—only to realize it was heading straight for a small boat on the water.
"???!!!"
Kenta didn't even think; his subconscious reaction was to teleport. "Burn!"
With a flash of black flames, Kenta appeared on the boat. He saw a white-haired woman with her eyes covered by a black veil standing at the bow.
"Miss! Pardon me!"
He lunged forward, sweeping the woman into his arms, and teleported back to the shore just as the boat exploded into splinters behind them.
"Hoo—" Kenta let out a long breath and put the woman down. "That was close... Oh, right! Miss, are you alright?"
Kenta finally realized he was still carrying someone. He turned his gaze to her. He didn't notice that the entire battlefield—Dan Heng, Blade, and Yanqing—had fallen into a deathly silence the moment he reappeared with her.
The woman gently shook her head, indicating she was fine. Kenta breathed a sigh of relief and bowed. "My name is Kenta. May I ask for your name, miss?"
The woman spoke, her voice clear and bright. "My name is—Jingliu."
"Oh~ So your name is Jingliu, what a pleasant... No, that's not right."
Kenta instinctively began to exchange pleasantries, but halfway through, his brain finally caught up. He remembered what Jing Yuan had told him not long ago: "If you see her—run!"
Kenta: "..." "!!!"
At this moment, Yanqing's voice rang out, cracked with fear: "Grand-uncle Kenta, hurry and go! This woman is after you; she's trouble!"
But it was too late. Kenta hadn't even taken a step before Jingliu grabbed his wrist with a grip of ice.
"...Kenta... Kenta... Kenta... Kenta Kenta Kenta Kenta Kenta Kenta!"
"I found you! Kenta!"
The black veil on her face disintegrated with frost, revealing crimson eyes filled with a terrifying, thousand-year obsession.
