The tail of the Flying Flood Dragon was like a peerless wild whip. The consequences of being hit by it were unimaginable. Even before the whip tail arrived, a violent wind had already swept over, as fierce as a typhoon. The Patterned Beast had no choice but to release the head of the Flying Flood Dragon and flutter its wings to fly away.

The Flying Flood Dragon's tail swept through empty air, its body making a one hundred and eighty-degree bend, like a coiled dragon, suddenly sweeping and then bouncing back. Having lost its sight, the Flying Flood Dragon was in a state of extreme rage,

but at this moment, not only was it blind, its large mouth was also bloodied and mangled, unable to perform the Flame Magic, and could only twist its enormous body in agony and fury.

Another Flying Flood Dragon saw its kind injured and roared in anger, pouncing towards Wang Xiaoqiang and the Patterned Beast, spewing a torrent of flame even before getting close. The flame appeared substantial and thick. Seeing this, the Patterned Beast also opened its mouth and spat out a flame to counter the Flying Flood Dragon's fire.

Boom!!

The two substantial flames collided with a thunderous sound, exploding like a fire bomb, blasting open with ten or more thick flame waves. The scorching flames made the air emit a strange hissing noise.

Wang Xiaoqiang and the Patterned Beast had already identified the strengths and weaknesses of the Flying Flood Dragon. Its strength lay in its enormous and powerful body and its Flame Magic, which would certainly be disadvantageous in a long-range fight. However, in close combat, it could be taken down in an instant because its massive body made it clumsy, which was its weakness.

Without further hesitation, master and pet synchronized their thoughts and started cooperating seamlessly. Wang Xiaoqiang slapped his Storage Bag, causing three spears to fly out, flipping their heads and aligning them towards the Flying Flood Dragon, charging forward with a boom,

Simultaneously, the Patterned Beast made a swift move, soaring up and also rushing towards the Flying Flood Dragon.

The three spears flew side by side, heading straight for the head of the Flying Flood Dragon. Seeing the three spears coming towards its face, it immediately spewed a thick torrent of flame again towards the spears.

Whoosh!

In a blink, the three spears were engulfed by the thick flames, exploding amidst the melting. The blast wave carried scorching flame waves, bursting outwards.

The Patterned Beast unfolded its Wind-Thunder Wings, flapped its wings to soar over the scorching blast wave, continuing to pounce towards the Flying Flood Dragon, and in a flash, it got close to the Flying Flood Dragon.

As one man and one beast came at it, the Flying Flood Dragon opened its mouth to spew fire again, but unexpectedly, as soon as it opened its mouth wide, a whizzing arrow shot into it,

It was an Immortal Liquid Arrow infused with lightning that Wang Xiaoqiang had shot. As the arrow entered the Flying Flood Dragon's mouth, electric arcs flashed chaotically, crackling explosively. In pain, the Flying Flood Dragon immediately shut its mouth and let out a painful wail. Its enormous body twisted.

Taking the opportunity, Wang Xiaoqiang, riding the Patterned Beast, charged swiftly, the Patterned Beast leaping onto the Flying Flood Dragon's colossal, basket-like head. With a shudder, its eight Demon Arms materialized, swinging down towards the dragon's head,

Instantly...

Continuous sounds of flesh tearing were heard as it was the sound of skin splitting open, and at once, the Flying Flood Dragon's head was a bloodied mess. Its two bowl-sized eyes were gouged out by the Demon Claw, and its mouth was shredded into a pulp by the Demon Claw.

The Flying Flood Dragon let out a painful and furious screech from its mouth, possibly as an instinctive reaction. Just then, its long tail suddenly whipped towards Wang Xiaoqiang and the Patterned Beast, sweeping past with a wild wind.

Wang Xiaoqiang was prepared, and with a thought, the Patterned Beast fluttered its wings to fly away. The dragon's tail swept empty again, its eyes blinded, it flailed its body wildly in confusion, letting out painful, angry, and unwilling roars, with the roars of the two Flying Flood Dragons echoing ever more shrilly between heaven and earth.

Seeing both Flying Flood Dragons turn into blind black bears, losing their fighting power, Wang Xiaoqiang paid them no mind but instead directed the Patterned Beast to dive towards the ground.

Two culprits, turned into charred lumps by the Flood Dragon's flames, were still rolling on the ground, only to have their heads chopped off by Zuo Dao. As Wang Xiaoqiang descended, Zuo Dao tossed the two heads towards him. "Brother Qiang, trophies."

Wang Xiaoqiang pulled out a Dragon Tendon, gave it a flick, and it bent on its own, tying the two thrown heads together. With that, master and pet landed, Wang Xiaoqiang tossed the harvested two culprits' heads along with the Dragon Tendon into the Storage Ring, then asked Zuo Dao, "Brother, are you okay?"

Zuo Dao answered, "Brother Qiang, I'm fine, today you saved my life once again."

"Enough with those words," Wang Xiaoqiang waved it off, contemplated for a moment, and said, "Zuo Dao, for your safety, your competition ends here..."

After arriving at Kunshan, Zuo Dao regretted his decision, weighing in his heart that the Realm Capital elimination contest was entirely out of his league to join, because his cultivation base was too weak, coming here was courting death,

The Realm Capital elimination contest, with a thousand participants, only selecting a hundred in the end— the competition was too fierce. He was only in the position to be eliminated, risking even death,

Perhaps by sticking with Wang Xiaoqiang, he could piggyback off his brother's success, possibly winning this contest, but after all, that was not his true achievement. What was the point of winning that empty recognition?

Winning the contest while feeling guilty would not clear his Daoist Heart, not aiding future cultivation, and it would be more of a loss. Just now, at the brink of life and death, he decided to forgo the contest, which is why he handed the two culprit heads over to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang also considered the capabilities of Zuo Dao; continuing the competition would present life-threatening risks, so he accepted the two heads and advised him to quit the contest.

Zuo Dao understood Wang Xiaoqiang's driven nature, that he not only sought strength for himself but also did not tolerate cowardice among his brothers, so as his brother, he had to be strong as well,

Based on this, he feared Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't agree to him quitting the contest, which made him a bit hesitant, but upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's words, he let out a long sigh of relief and nodded, saying... "Brother Qiang, they say brothers share a single heart; we really had the same thought. I've decided to quit the contest,"

"Mm, just follow me in this Kunshan training grind, when life-threatening danger arises, I will take you into the Ring Space," said Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Alright," Zuo Dao nodded heavily, feeling considerably relieved.

"Let's find a cave and cultivate for a week, then come out to hunt down culprit heads," Wang Xiaoqiang said, then opened the Heavenly Eye to search for a hiding cave.

He decided, as in the Territory City elimination contest, to employ a strategy of resting while others tire themselves out first, letting other contestants desperately hunt down culprit heads, then he would come out to rob them. Of course, he wouldn't murder to steal treasures; it's just that he had enemies in this Kunshan participating in the contest, and by then, if he didn't strike, they would come after him. He considered it self-defense.

Killing them would eliminate future threats, taking the heads of the culprits they defeated, accumulating scores, achieving a win-win situation.

Quickly, Wang Xiaoqiang found a very concealed mountain recess, within which lay a cave. Wang Xiaoqiang led Zuo Dao into the cave, releasing the Patterned Beast, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin to keep watch. Then, the two brothers started cultivating together in the cave. (To be continued.
