"Trying to escape little snake" said the dragon king. "Did you really think I would let you go that easily"
Tightening his hand on the robe beside heart little snake narrowed his eyes at the dragon.
"You..." He spoke through pain. "What have you d...
With the little snake's strike, Ying Lei fell to the ground unconscious. Then the snake turned his attention to the dragon king, who was fighting Shīzhī.
'It's true I'm not strong enough to kill you and free myself' he thought. 'But I can still use others to do it. I can't dedicate my life to you'
He extended his hand, releasing a soul binding rope toward the dragon king. The rope wrapped around him, sealing his powers. Surprised, the dragon king looked in the direction where the rope had come from and his eyes met with the little snake's.

"Mo Yichen, are you crazy?" Little Snake heard Pei Sijing's voice faintly. As he looked into the Dragon King's eyes, his mind filled with memories of their time together, 'Little one.' 'Don't worry.' 'You're mine now.' 'Little Snake.' 'You have me.'
"Very well" said Shīzhī, gathering dark power in his hand, ready to strike the Dragon King. The Dragon King turned his gaze from Little Snake to Shīzhī, struggling to break free from the soul binding rope. Shīzhī unleashed his attack on the Dragon King.
"Zhu Yan" screamed Wen Xiao. Pei Sijing quickly grabbed her bow and aimed an arrow at Shīzhī, but it was too late. Shīzhī's dark strike was already flying toward the Dragon King.
The black energy reflected in the Dragon King's wide eyes. 'Does he hate staying with me so much that he would go to such lengths to get rid of me?' Dragon King thought.
But just before the strike hit, the Dragon King was yanked aside. The attack crashed into the wall with a loud explosion. Little Snake had pulled the rope at the last second, sending both of them tumbling to the ground. The Dragon King landed on top of Little Snake, who stared at him with wide eyes, processing what he just did.
Pei Sijing's arrow pierced Shīzhī's right hand. He yanked it out as she fired another arrow. Shīzhī dodged it, tossing the first arrow to the ground. When Pei Sijing tried to kick him, he dodged again, grabbing her face with his hand and draining her energy. Suddenly, another hand struck Shīzhī, freeing Pei Sijing.
"Oh" Shīzhī said, eyeing the boy standing between him and Pei Sijing. "My old dog is here. Very well. You can pay for betraying me last time."
Wen Xiao's flute filled the cave with sound, golden stripes wrapping around Shīzhī.
Meanwhile, the Dragon King twisted Little Snake's wrist, forcing him to release the soul binding rope. Once free, the Dragon King stood, turning his focus to the fight with Shīzhī.
"You're really looking for death" the Dragon King said, glaring at Shīzhī as he struggled to escape Bai Zhi's restraints. Creating dragon fire in his hand, the Dragon King slowly stepped toward him. The little snake got up, watching the tense scene.
Shīzhī broke free from Bai Zhi's restraints again, sending Wen Xiao falling backward, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. The Dragon King flew toward Shīzhī, hurling fire at him. Grabbing him by the neck, he slammed him hard into the ground.
