Chapter 66: With Me Around, There’s No Need To Worry

Jiang Lan didn’t think much about Ao Longyu’s question.

The other party was strong.

At least, she was much stronger than his cultivation on the surface.

It was impossible to find a better partner than Ao Longyu.

“Thank you for the trouble, Senior Sister,” Jiang Lan said softly.

Ao Longyu nodded lightly.

Having reached an agreement, Jiang Lan kept his spirit sword and continued walking forward.

He was in charge of breaking the array formations, so he could only walk in front.

After all, the array formation was activated first before the attack appeared.

Of course, it was impossible to fly from above. He had tried before.

It didn’t take long before the next array formation was activated. Jiang Lan ignored everything else and lowered his head to break the restrictions on the formation.

Then, he felt an attack.

He did not dodge immediately. Instead, he waited for Ao Longyu to attack.

As expected, the moment the attack appeared, a sword light flashed.

Before the attack could fully appear, it was destroyed by a single strike.

Jiang Lan wasn’t surprised. He lowered his head and broke the formation array.

Soon, he released the shackles on his feet.

“Indeed, the progress of having two people is much faster than traveling alone.”

Jiang Lan muttered to himself.

This was especially so when his partner was not weak.

Ao Longyu watched as Jiang Lan dismantled the array formation and continued forward. She followed suit.

Her gaze was calm.

As if she didn’t care about anything.

However, she also felt that the two of them traveling together made their progress much smoother and faster.

Although Jiang Lan, who had been moving forward, paid attention to the attacks, he didn’t make any obvious movements.

Ao Longyu would immediately deal with the sudden attacks.

After a while.

Jiang Lan felt that they had walked a fair distance.

Even Ao Longyu could sense that their current progress had already surpassed her previous progress.

This time, Jiang Lan was imprisoned once again. When he wanted to undo the array formation, he discovered that it was much more difficult than before.

With this discovery, he immediately checked the attack.

The attack might have changed too.

He would not underestimate any attack, and he would make sufficient follow-up preparations. However, Ao Longyu was a genius, and she wielded immense power.

She would not be necessarily like him.

“Senior Sister Ao, the array formation has changed.”

Jiang Lan reminded him. Time was of the essence, so he couldn’t say much.

However, the surrounding attacks were still a step faster.

Ao Longyu heard Jiang Lan’s words, but she couldn’t change her attack immediately.

In the next instant, Jiang Lan saw that Ao Longyu’s sword light didn’t directly cut through the mist attack.

He moved his lower body, planning to dodge the attack.

However, just as he moved, a dragon’s roar sounded beside him.

A dragon shadow appeared behind him.

Boom!!!

The fog attack that was about to arrive was shattered by the dragon shadow.

“With me around, there’s no need to worry.”

Ao Longyu’s calm voice sounded from behind Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan agreed and didn’t say anything else.

Then, he continued to undo the array formation.

Ao Longyu was indeed very powerful.

However, Jiang Lan would still not let down his guard.

This was a habit.

However, just as Jiang Lan was about to continue, Ao Longyu’s clear and calm voice sounded again.

“If I face an attack I am unable to handle later on, I will voice it out. Junior Brother, don’t hesitate then.”

Ao Longyu understood her own strength. She could no longer crush the attacks further down the path with her current cultivation base.

Therefore, she needed to let Jiang Lan know.

“Alright.” Jiang Lan nodded, not asking anything else.

Ao Longyu nodded slightly and didn’t say anything else.

And then the two kept moving forward.

The speed at which Jiang Lan dismantled the array formation became much slower, and the surrounding attacks had become much stronger.

Thus, their progress was greatly reduced.

However, neither of them spoke. Neither of them discussed what to do.

One lowered his head to dismantle the array formation while the other defended against the surrounding attacks.

At present, the two of them did not interfere with each other.

…

“The path this time seems to be very difficult.”

A few people stood outside the Jade Pool, and one of them was a beautiful immortal.

She was Immortal Jade Bamboo of the Third Summit.

“The stronger the aura of the Jade Pool, the harder it is to approach.” A middle-aged man spoke.

“Will someone enter the Jade Pool this time?”

“If there is, it would be a good thing for Kunlun.” Another person said.

“What do you think, Junior Sister Yu Zhu?”

If there was, the person would most likely come from the Third Summit.

This was because there were many female disciples who had come from the Third Summit.

Furthermore, some specially chosen disciples from the Third Summit were also here.

Yu Zhu lowered her eyebrows and said calmly.

“Who knows?”

The others didn’t pay much attention to it. They looked at the Jade Pool and realized that some people were approaching it.

“Let’s retreat. Someone is approaching. The fog here is dissipating. Whether or not someone will be able to enter will be up to fate.”

…

It was morning.

Jiang Lan didn’t stop along the way. He had put all of his knowledge on array formations to use.

The array formations behind were getting more and more strenuous for him.

He wasn’t the only one. Ao Longyu’s attacks also began to weaken.

Ao Longyu had transformed into a half-dragon once again.

Her slender and fair fingers had turned into dragon claws.

Dragon scales covered her arms.

The most obvious change was the scar on her side profile that stretched from her face to her neck.

This was the injury from last time.

It seemed that once she transformed into a dragon, or used her full strength, the scar would appear.

They had walked a long distance, but the road ahead was endless.

Jiang Lan didn’t know where he was.

But he knew that he had yet to enter the Jade Pool.

Until now, the system had not given him any notifications that he was on a path of the Great Dao.

“God knows how far this will last.”

Jiang Lan looked ahead and muttered to himself.

He continued to walk forward. It was not time to give up yet.

Ao Longyu was walking behind him, and her strength had become a little unstable.

However, she had no intention of resting.

She wanted to go as far as she could.

The moment Jiang Lan touched the confinement array formation, a clear voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding!]
