Xiao Lan did not resist serving as Yekafuna’s mount. Firstly, it was Chen Xuan’s order, and secondly, Yekafuna could be considered Chen Xuan’s new Dao companion, effectively making her one of their own.
The moment Yekafuna mounted the back of the small blue dragon, the Spirit Abyss Deer attacked again. In its Primordial Thunder Dragon form, Xiao Lan possessed formidable defensive capabilities; though its speed was inferior to the Spirit Abyss Deer, it could withstand the deer's kicks head-on. Even so, the defense of a Primordial Thunder Dragon was still not enough to prevent it from being sent flying by a single kick from the beast. After all, Xiao Lan had only advanced to a fourth-tier divine beast alongside Chen Xuan, placing it one rank below Nu Zong. Since Nu Zong could not yet manifest its dragon form, the two dragons were roughly equal in strength.
Chen Xuan, riding Nu Zong, and Yekafuna, riding Xiao Lan in its dragon form, engaged in a fierce battle, circling and maneuvering against the Spirit Abyss Deer. The spectacle left Todd and Thomas, who were watching from the outside, utterly stunned. They had never imagined that two Sixth-Pathway True Gods could actually contend with the mount of an Abyssal Lord—even if the Spirit Abyss Deer was not at its peak.
