"Silly woman, your abilities are useless here. Watch me instead," Liu Qing taunted Feather Princess as he retrieved eight black spiral darts from his body and threw them. The darts rapidly rotated in the air and flew towards Qin Yan and the others.
"Be careful, everyone!" Li Ruobing lightly shouted, wielding her whip towards the darts. The eight darts immediately dispersed and evaded the whip's attacks with exceptional agility. They kept swirling around Qin Yan and the others in the air. Li Ruobing and Lin Shiqi continuously used wind spells and the whip to try to drive away the darts, but their high speed made them difficult to hit. Even if they were hit, the darts could return, much like flies that were hard to shoo away.
"No, we must deal with this Liu Qing," Li Ruobing realized the significant threat posed by Liu Qing and leaped off the Feathered Serpent to fly in the air. She wielded her whip and launched an attack towards Liu Qing.
Having been harshly struck by Li Ruobing earlier, Liu Qing was in pain and frightened. Seeing Li Ruobing's attack, he was startled and quickly jumped off the Feathered Serpent to fly away in the air. The two engaged in a chase, flying and gliding in the sky, gradually moving away from the Feathered Serpent.
"One down, three to go. With my abilities, I should be able to handle them," Yi Tianchou paid no attention to the fleeing Li Ruobing and Liu Qing. His gaze was fixed on Qin Yan and the others. A strong whirlwind generated around Yi Tianchou, followed by a swooshing sound as he flew swiftly towards Qin Yan's position within the whirlwind.
"Take this!" Lin Shiqi, seeing Yi Tianchou approaching, immediately summoned a lightning ball with her wand to strike him. However, Yi Tianchou was enveloped in the powerful whirlwind, which deflected the lightning ball before it could reach him. Qin Yan leaped towards Yi Tianchou, swinging his trident spear at him. But Yi Tianchou agilely dodged Qin Yan's attack, maneuvering to Qin Yan's rear in mid-air before swiftly flying towards Dream Butterfly at the head of the Feathered Serpent.
"Oh no!" Qin Yan realized he had been tricked. Although Dream Butterfly could control the Feathered Serpent with her psychic powers, she had no physical or magical abilities to defend herself. She was defenseless against Yi Tianchou's attack. In a moment of urgency, Qin Yan kicked off the Feathered Serpent and leaped towards Dream Butterfly. Just as Yi Tianchou's attack was about to hit Dream Butterfly, Qin Yan grabbed her.
With a muffled bang, Yi Tianchou viciously kicked Qin Yan in the back, sending both Qin Yan and Dream Butterfly flying. The two collided with Lin Shiqi, and all three fell from the Feathered Serpent, plummeting downwards from the high altitude.
A massive ice island flew up from below, catching Qin Yan, Dream Butterfly, and Lin Shiqi in their descent. It turned out that Emperor Jiang had used his magical abilities to control the ice island to follow and catch them.
"Your divine beast is quite powerful, but it seems like it's not enough," a mocking voice sounded from above. Qin Yan, who had just stabilized himself on the ice island, quickly looked up to see Yi Tianchou and Feather Princess standing on the head of the Feathered Serpent, looking down at their direction.
"Damn, this guy is really tough to deal with," Qin Yan said angrily. With Yi Tianchou and Feather Princess now on the Feathered Serpent, it was no longer feasible for them to return and control the Feathered Serpent using psychic powers.

"You better hand over 'Emperor Jiang' to us quickly, or you should know better than us what the consequences will be!" Yi Tianchou said coldly, emitting a strange sharp sound from his mouth. Upon hearing this sound, the Feathered Serpent twisted its body in the sky and flew towards the direction of the ice island.
"Oh no, the giant snake is coming back again. What do we do now?!" Lin Shiqi exclaimed in panic.
Realizing that the only creature that could confront the Feathered Serpent was Emperor Jiang, Qin Yan turned to Dream Butterfly and asked, "How is it? Can we win?"
"There's a chance, but it's not guaranteed," Dream Butterfly replied.
"Then let's give it a try," Qin Yan said determinedly.
"I understand." Frowning, with a determined expression, Dream Butterfly placed her hands on Emperor Jiang's head to issue commands. The ice island rose rapidly and flew towards the sky. In no time, they reached below the dark clouds, with the Feathered Serpent in pursuit, also approaching the dark clouds.
"Be careful, cover your ears," Dream Butterfly urged hastily. A deafening roar echoed from the dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the black clouds towards the Feathered Serpent chasing the ice island, narrowly missing it.
"Oh no!" Startled by the lightning, Yi Tianchou realized Dream Butterfly's intentions and shouted, "Feathered Serpent God, get rid of them quickly!"
Whether understanding Yi Tianchou's words or acting on its own accord, the Feathered Serpent flapped its massive wings, generating a powerful tornado out of thin air that swept over the ice island. The violent tornado lifted Qin Yan, Dream Butterfly, and Lin Shiqi off the ice island and threw them down.
"Haha, daring to challenge my Feathered Serpent God, you really don't know life from death. I'll send you on your way now!" Yi Tianchou said fanatically as the Feathered Serpent twisted its body, flying rapidly in the air. It opened its huge mouth and lunged towards Qin Yan, Dream Butterfly, and Lin Shiqi who were in the high altitude.
"We're done for this time, we're going to become this monster snake's food," Lin Shiqi was terrified and at a loss. Although she could also fly with wind manipulation, her speed was no match for this gigantic Feathered Serpent. Seeing the Feathered Serpent about to bite her body and swallow her whole, she was petrified.
A massive ice island surged out and slammed heavily into the neck of the Feathered Serpent, producing a deafening roar. The tremendous impact caused the head of the Feathered Serpent to tilt, and Yi Tianchou and Feather Princess, who were standing on the Feathered Serpent, were thrown out by the powerful force.
The Feathered Serpent made a rustling sound in its mouth, its eyes fixed firmly on Emperor Jiang on the ice island. It seemed to be somewhat provoked by Emperor Jiang's recent actions, while Emperor Jiang was also inspired with fighting spirit. Its four wings spread wide open, facing the direction of the Feathered Serpent. A chilling and eerie laughter echoed in the sky, sounding extremely frightening and bizarre.
Then, whether it was Emperor Jiang's doing, the Feathered Serpent's doing, or a joint effort, the sky suddenly roared with strong winds, lightning, and thunder. Lightning bolts shot out like cannons from the dark clouds, tearing through the sky, deafening and illuminating the dark sky as bright as day in an instant.
"What will happen to us? Are we really going to die here?" Lin Shiqi looked up at the lightning and thunder in the sky, terrified to the core, almost on the verge of tears. If any lightning struck her, she would be in mortal danger, turning into charcoal.
Although Qin Yan was also afraid, he remained relatively calm compared to Lin Shiqi. After falling from the ice island, he had been holding onto Dream Butterfly's body to prevent her from falling to her death from the high altitude. He controlled the direction of gravity against the raging winds, flying towards Lin Shiqi in the sky. After finally reaching Lin Shiqi's side and about to grab her hand...
With a deafening roar, a massive lightning bolt struck about thirty meters away from Lin Shiqi. The powerful lightning seemed to tear through space, generating a large black crack out of nowhere. The howling wind accompanied the black crack as it began to absorb everything around it, exerting a strong force that sucked in Qin Yan, Dream Butterfly, and Lin Shiqi's bodies. Ten seconds later, the black crack gradually shrank and closed, ultimately disappearing without a trace. Qin Yan, Dream Butterfly, and Lin Shiqi's bodies had vanished into thin air, leaving no sign behind.
