Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

At that very moment, the dragon opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Li Ping'an.

The dragon caught up, and Li Ping'an's hammer also swung.

There was a muffled thud.

The next second, something happened that shocked everyone present!

The black hammer struck the dragon's head with a dull thud.

Then the dragon's massive body was actually knocked off balance by the force of the impact.

The enormous dragon head also trembled.

How powerful would this attack be?

Everyone present was stunned.

The scene was like an ant punching a giant snake and sending it flying.

This viewpoint is absolutely breathtaking.

"No, this is way too hard!"

Li Pingan shook his slightly numb arm.

One has to admire it; it truly lives up to its reputation as a demon king-level beast in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

He swung the hammer with all his might, but only managed to knock it off course a few meters.

Its hardness was simply unparalleled, leaving Li Ping'an speechless.

However, this hammer blow left the dragon dazed and confused, and it wouldn't chase after them for the time being. Their objective had been achieved, and they continued to pull Lu Shuang away as they fled.

The dragon clearly hadn't expected the hammer in the old human's hand to be so powerful.

The dragon stood frozen in place for several breaths before it finally came to its senses.

He was clearly stunned by the impact.

At this moment, Li Ping'an is about to escape the control range of the mud.

Once they enter the dense forest, the dragon should be unable to do anything to them.

Faster!

Li Ping'an was overjoyed.

The Xuan Tian Snow Lotus stumbled and fell back into his hands.

Overjoyed, Li Ping'an didn't forget to pull Lu Shuang along as they fled.

For some reason, whenever he saw Lu Shuang again, he felt that Lu Shuang looked a lot like an old friend of his.

But I can't remember the specifics.

Moreover, Lu Shuang did not intend to harm me when she first entered this trial ground, so she probably wasn't someone Zhang Lu bribed.

It's okay to help out if it's just a passing fancy.

Li Ping'an kept running through the mud as he was being dragged along the road.

In the blink of an eye, they were about to rush into the woods.

Tang Jiannan, who was standing to the side, saw this scene and couldn't help but grit his teeth in hatred.

"Damn it! This old bastard actually dared to hold Lu Shuang's hand! He's really asking for trouble!"

Based on this one action alone, Tang Jiannan would be determined to tear Li Ping'an apart.

To vent the anger in his heart.

However, he dared not rush forward now.

Because he clearly saw that the dragon behind Li Ping'an was chasing after him.

Meanwhile, Li Ping'an was overjoyed to see the woods right in front of him.

It seems we've really managed to escape this time.

I swear!

If I, Li Ping'an, can escape this dangerous situation this time, I will never take any risks again!

I will do everything in my power to stay within the sect and cultivate quietly! I will absolutely not go into any dangerous situations again!

Li Ping'an made a solemn vow in his heart and silently prayed to God.

However, fate did not seem to be on their side.

Li Ping'an took a step forward, but his feet slipped into the air.

But suddenly a deep hole appeared beneath his feet.

In an instant, he and Lu Shuang plummeted downwards.

He didn't have time to react.

Suddenly, the head of a giant dragon appeared in the deep pit.

It opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Li Ping'an and Lu Shuang.

"don't want!"

Li Ping'an was so terrified when he saw the gaping maw that he was scared out of his wits.

However, he had no flying artifact in the air and could not control his body.

He could only watch helplessly as he fell into the dragon's mouth.

This scene left everyone present stunned.

The dragon actually swallowed those two people whole!

He appears to be a prodigy disciple of the Tongtian Sword Sect, whose strength is no less than that of Tang Jiannan.

Tang Jiannan was stunned when he saw this scene.

What?! Lu Shuang was actually eaten!

Lu Shuang, whom he had always regarded as his dream lover, was actually swallowed whole by that dragon.

More importantly, Li Ping'an also possesses the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus.

Everything is gone.

Everything's gone!

Tang Jiannan gripped his long sword tightly, and for a moment he had the urge to rush up and rescue them.

But looking at that enormous dragon, radiating terrifying spiritual power...

He then dismissed the idea.

He immediately gritted his teeth and said...

"Disciples of the Tongtian Sword Sect, retreat immediately!"

The other three major sects shared the same idea as Li Ping'an.

Now that the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus is gone, there's no point in staying here.

No one dared to mess with this dragon; it was only a death sentence for them.

In an instant, all the people from the four major sects fled in panic.

After the dragon swallowed Li Ping'an and Lu Shuang...

His violent tendencies have also subsided considerably.

It only symbolically chased after the group before retreating back into the pool.

At the same time, Li Ping'an felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit.

It was bottomless, and it kept falling, falling.

It was pitch black all around me; I couldn't see anything.

I could only feel the air around me thinning, and there was a faint smell of decay.

"Am I inside a dragon's belly now?"

Li Ping'an felt the smooth, soft walls around him and suddenly realized what was happening.

I never expected that I would be eaten by a dragon.

Fortunately, this dragon ate in a hurry and didn't chew slowly.

Otherwise, Li Ping'an probably wouldn't have been able to appreciate the scenery inside the dragon's stomach.

He didn't know how long he had been landing when Li Ping'an landed on his backside, feeling completely disoriented.

A dull thud also came from the side.

boom!

Lu Shuang also fell down and landed next to him.

It seems they've found inside the dragon's stomach.

Li Ping'an used the faint light to survey his surroundings.

This place is quite spacious, about a few square meters wide.

All around were bloody flesh and blood.

And there was a pool of green liquid not far away.

Could that be dragon's stomach acid?

Li Ping'an was astonished by the intense corrosiveness of the liquid.

So dragons also have stomach acid.

After surveying his surroundings, Li Ping'an turned to look at Lu Shuang and was taken aback.

Lu Shuang was writhing on the ground in agony.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Ping'an hurried over to check.

But Lu Shuang's clothes were already being corroded.

A section of soft, snow-white skin was revealed.

Not only that, her skin was also gradually turning red, revealing blood vessels.

It is being corroded by the poisonous gas inside the dragon's belly.

broken!

Li Ping'an frowned.

The dragon that lives in this central pool is itself a highly poisonous creature.

Now that I've swallowed him, his stomach will definitely be full of deadly poison.

He didn't care, after all, he had the Heaven-Forging Hammer, a divine artifact.

He is immune to all poisons; no toxin can harm him.

It could even become his nourishment.

But Lu Shuang is different.

Lu Shuang is just an ordinary person, how could she withstand the corrosive effects of such poisonous gas?

I'm afraid that in no time at all, Lu Shuang will be reduced to a pile of bones and die there.

Li Ping'an was not a particularly compassionate person.

But seeing a living person die right before his eyes, he felt a pang of reluctance.
