Horton had already sprouted the intention to retreat, without any hesitation, he ran away without looking back. The cat woman hummed a sound, her body transformed into a green lightning bolt, constantly circling around Sheng Xie and turning around him. Although Sheng Xie's speed was not slow, he still couldn't catch up with this fast cat person. The cat woman occasionally circled behind Sheng Xie to attack him one or two times, but she would leave immediately after touching him. Although she couldn't hurt Sheng Xie, it still made him roar continuously, forgetting everything, and desperately chasing the cat woman to attack her. The cat woman was secretly delighted in her heart, what she needed to do now was to entangle this powerful dragon and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
From the alley behind where Ah-Dai was, a black-clad figure suddenly appeared. This person was arguably the most intelligent among Horton's subordinates. He had secretly circled around to the back of the alley, climbed over the wall, and quietly crept towards Ah-Dai. Ah-Dai was focused on the situation on the field while constantly using his internal energy to force out the poison, completely unaware of what was behind him. The Rock Brothers were struggling against Cold Condensation, while the Elf Maiden had been stunned into immobility by the appearance of the two giant dragons. Although Bone Dragon was powerful, it was far inferior to Sacred Evil in terms of vigilance. It resisted the black-clad figures' attack while keeping an eye on its leader chasing after the maiden. The black-clad figure had already reached a position five meters behind Ah-Dai and slowly raised his short blade, making no sound as he swiftly pounced towards Ah-Dai, slashing at the artery in Ah-Dai's neck. Ah-Dai suddenly felt a chill wind approaching, but he was too busy driving out the poison to react. When he turned around, he just saw the cold light flashing before his face. Ah-Dai closed his eyes and thought: It's over. He had initially thought that with the two giant dragons' strength, he would have a chance of survival, but unexpectedly, he still ended up dying here.
At this critical moment, a faint white figure appeared, descending rapidly from the air and accurately colliding with Horton's subordinate. The dagger in his hand pierced the man's throat. When the black-clad man died, the short blade in his hand was less than a foot away from Ah-Dai, who could clearly feel the chill on the blade. Fresh blood splattered out, making Ah-Dai's already red magic robe even more vibrant. Ah-Dai looked at the white figure that had saved his life and exclaimed, "It's you." The newcomer was none other than Bing, whom Ah-Dai had met just a day ago at the Dark Night Casino.
Her icy face remained cold, but a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, as if she had let out a sigh of relief. She reached into her bosom and pulled out three medicinal pills, handing them to Ah-Dai, "Quickly, take one, this is the antidote."
Ah-Dai took the pill and swallowed it resolutely, in his eyes, Bing was now so trustworthy. Under the urging of the vital energy, a warm current rose from the dantian, constantly driving away the cold condensed frost's deadly poison, Ah-Dai's chill gradually disappeared. Ah-Dai looked at Bing sincerely and gratefully said: "Thank you."
A faint smile spread across Bing's face, Ah-Dai's trust in her warmed her heart. "Quickly help your friend detoxify, then hurry and leave this place. Master...Horton won't easily let you off, only by leaving Dark City can you be safe."
A'Duh nodded and stuffed the remaining two pills into the mouths of the Rock Brothers. The elf girl looked at A'Duh with concern, asking: "Y-you're okay, right?"
A'Dai shook his head and said, "Let's leave here first." At this time, his power had recovered a bit. Although the cat woman Mimi's previous attack had severely injured him, he now felt that his body was full of strength. This strength came from Bing, who looked deeply at Bing's beautiful face, A'Dai suddenly rose up and rushed towards the cat woman who was still entangled with Sheng Xie.
The holy evil is depressed in his heart, the cat girl doesn't get in touch with him at all, relying on her quick movements, occasionally sneaking up and attacking him, making him extremely angry, but also helpless.
Mimi's entire body and mind were focused on Sheng Xie, she clearly knew that Ah Dai and the three others were seriously injured and being tormented by severe poison. As long as she persisted until Horton brought reinforcements, none of these people would be able to escape. Just then, she suddenly felt a massive pressure coming towards her, startling her heart, turning her head to look, and was shocked to discover that a huge yellow light net was enveloping her. And the giant dragon was also charging towards her, blocking all escape routes. For the first time in her life, she felt powerless, letting out a loud cry, instantly unleashing her full potential, and suddenly charged towards the light net behind her, with countless green fighting spirit lights appearing from her hands.
The web of heaven and earth transformed by Ah-Dai's life force was not something that the cat woman could easily break through. Compared to ordinary energy, the residual energy of life transformation was so weak. For the first time, Ah-Dai felt that he actually hated someone so much, not just because the cat woman had severely injured him, but also because she had taken advantage of his kindness and deceived him.
In a loud explosion, the cat woman was knocked flying by Ah-Dai's life force energy and was slapped to the ground by Sheng Xie's paw. Sheng Xie's angry slap shattered the cat woman's protective true energy, causing her to spit out blood and fall into the dust, instantly suffering a severe injury. If not for her exceptionally strong body, this blow would have been enough to take her down.
A yellow energy sword materialized in Ah Diao's hand, resting on the cat girl's throat. He gazed at her coldly, and the cat girl's eyes revealed a panicked expression. The immense pressure from the energy sword made her dare not move slightly.
Sheng Xie let out a loud shout, no longer paying attention to the cat girl, and turned around to charge towards his younger brother Gu Long. In the coordination between Sheng Xie and Gu Long that day, the remaining black-clothed men were quickly annihilated.
The stupid guy stared at the cat girl, his eyes revealing a hateful glare, muttering: "Why? Why did you deceive me, why?" His kind heart felt so painful being deceived, his heart now hurt so much. Everything had already settled, the Rock brothers had recovered from the poison and walked over with Hei, their faces pale. Sheng Xie and Gu Long also gathered around them, Yan Shi said hatefully: "Stupid, kill her, this cheap woman almost killed us."
The energy sword in Ah-Dai's hand pressed down a few more points, and the cat girl's eyes showed a terrified expression. "No, don't! I was also forced to, if I didn't help Horton, I would have died miserably too! Spare me, I won't dare again!" The cat girl begged pitifully, tears streaming down her emerald green eyes. Her appearance was already very moving, and this pitiful sight made Ah-Dai's heart soften.
Bing crowded around Ah Dai's side, coldly saying: "She absolutely is not under Horton's orders, I had never seen her before, this woman is too vicious, quickly kill her."
A'Dai gritted his teeth and rushed at the cat girl, saying: "Speak, why are you helping Horton?"
The cat girl meowed pitifully: "I, I said. Actually, I was originally the princess of the Cat People Clan, but later I was caught by a group of evil people, they cruelly abused me and put a seal on me, I had no choice but to be controlled by them! I don't know what the origins of those evil people are, only that their leader is called the Cult Master. Spare me, I won't dare harm anyone again!"
At this moment, a dense footsteps suddenly came from around, and everyone was shocked at the same time. Ice color changed and said: "It's bad, Lord Hutton must have brought reinforcements, let's go quickly."
The earth-shaking, dense footsteps represented how many people! Everyone clearly knew that only a well-trained army could produce such a uniform and synchronized sound. Ah-Dai's attention was fully focused on the troops about to appear, and the energy sword in his hand relaxed slightly. A strange glint flashed in Meow-Meow's eyes, and her body, which had been lying on the ground, suddenly moved a foot away from Ah-Dai without any warning, escaping his control. Her figure burst forth, and one of her paws swiped at Ah-Dai's face with lightning-fast speed that could only be described as electric sparks flying through the air.
A'Doh instinctively leaned back, his energy sword flashing up, but the cat girl's speed under the threat of death had reached its peak, and it was simply too fast. A'Doh himself was slow to react, and just as he raised his sword, the cat's claws had already grabbed his face. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, and the tall, leaping silhouette used their own body to block the cat girl's attack. Blood splattered everywhere, and the cat girl's right claw had already pierced the leaping figure. She hesitated for a moment, then swiftly withdrew her claws, transformed into a green light, and flashed towards the rooftop, dodging Saint Evil's dragon breath attack. After a few leaps, she disappeared from everyone's sight. The cat girl had escaped, and the figure who had blocked the attack slowly fell into A'Doh's arms, with fresh blood continuously gushing out of her body. It was Ice, who had once again saved A'Doh's life at the most critical moment. Her right chest had been completely pierced by the cat's claws. A'Doh tightly hugged Ice's delicate body, and his entire being boiled over with rage. "No!" he shouted, his voice piercing the silent night sky. At this time, a large group of black-armored soldiers from Dark Castle had already surrounded them. The Rock Brothers drew out their own weapons, their eyes fixed on the enemy in front of them with bloodshot gazes. If they hadn't been protected by the Giant Spirit Snake's armor, they would have already died under the cat girl's claws. Their anger had reached its limit.
A'Duo tightly hugged Bing's delicate body, quickly using his pure and true energy to seal off Bing's blood vessels. However, the wound was too large, and although the bleeding slowed down significantly, it still continued to flow incessantly. A'Duo poured his pure and true energy into Bing's body without any reservation, Bing's face was deathly pale, her complexion no longer icy cold, she smiled at A'Duo with a melancholic gaze in her eyes, "Don't waste your effort anymore, take me away from this place, I don't want to die in this filthy place, take me away from Black City."
The dark city soldiers who had surrounded them stopped in their tracks, frightened by the appearance of Holy Evil and Bone Dragon, holding up their weapons and making a pose as if ready to attack at any moment.
Ah-Dai was filled with hatred, hating himself for being so weak. If he had ended the cat woman's life with one sword earlier, Bing wouldn't have been severely injured. If his magical powers were stronger, he could have used the dragon's blood to heal Bing's wounds with light magic. But now, he couldn't do anything and could only watch as Bing's life force slowly slipped away. Taking a deep breath, Ah-Dai picked up Bing's delicate body and gently leaped onto Sheng Xie's back, saying in a low voice: "Good brother, it's all up to you now."
The voice of Sheng Xie sounded in Ah Dai's heart, "Brother, get on my little brother's back, he has a bigger head and more strength than me. I'll open the way in front, let him carry you guys."
A'Dai nodded, turned his head to look at Gu Long, who seemed to have received the instruction from Sheng Xie and had lowered his body. A'Dai shouted loudly, "Big brother, bring the spirits onto Gu Long's body, we're making a break for it!"
Yan Shi took a few steps back, embracing the elf girl's delicate body, and together with Yan Li, they flew onto the Bone Dragon's back. Ah Diao leaped up, landing on the Bone Dragon's neck, he tore off his own magic robe and tightly bound it to Bing's wound, softly saying: "Ah Bing, you must hold on, believe me, I will definitely be able to take you out of here."
Ice still smiled gently, as if her injured body didn't hurt at all. She leaned her head against Ah-Dai's chest and murmured: "In... your... arms... I feel... warm... ah! No matter what happens, I'm already satisfied." Ah-Dai's true energy barely maintained Ice's life, continuously nourishing her injured meridians, but her lungs had suffered severe damage, and her life was slowly fading away.
"Charge!" Ah-Dai shouted. Saint Evil let out a mighty roar, his body soaring high into the air as he unleashed a massive blast of gray dragon breath that swept across the densest cluster of soldiers, instantly erasing hundreds of them from existence. Bone Dragon followed closely behind Saint Evil, its enormous body impervious to the attacks of the ordinary soldiers. Thousands upon thousands of soldiers surrounded them, attacking ceaselessly, but the narrow streets limited the number of soldiers who could reach the two massive dragons. The heavily armored infantry posed a significant threat to Saint Evil, forcing it to continuously breathe out dragon fire to kill off its nearby enemies. Although there were few mages in Black City, they were not nonexistent. Those mages who had been completely bought over launched various magical attacks at the two dragons. The combined assault of over ten mages was terrifying. Ah-Dai used his powers to conjure a defensive net to protect Bone Dragon's back, but his strength was ultimately limited. He had to maintain the ice's life force while protecting everyone else, and cold sweat dripped down his face as the remaining True Qi in his body dwindled. If not for the self-sustaining properties of True Qi, he would have long since exhausted his powers.
The Rock Brothers are of no use now, the Elf Girl barely releases a thin layer of pale green barrier to help Ah-Dai resist, but the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them. The Holy Evil is still a small dragon after all, its dragon breath is limited, it had already consumed a lot of energy earlier, at this moment, it doesn't dare to spray out dragon breath again, it can only rely on its strong body, clawing and sweeping with its tail, constantly charging forward. Ah-Dai suddenly discovers that the Bone Dragon's body seems to be slowly changing, the large number of soldiers around are dying, their souls are being absorbed by the Bone Dragon, its originally green eyes are gradually turning purple, its huge body is emitting a series of soft sounds, its attack power not only hasn't weakened but is instead becoming stronger.
The Holy Evil has gone mad, its gray scales completely dyed red with the fresh blood of human soldiers, transforming into a gigantic blood-red dragon. It continues to slaughter, and already over a thousand soldiers have died at its hands. However, as more people gather around, the Holy Evil's power gradually weakens. In the distance, the magicians continue to release magic, one fireball after another, ice spears constantly striking its body, like a swarm of locusts, arrows raining down incessantly. Although they can't harm the two dragons, it makes it even more difficult for Ah-Dai and his companions to cope.
The Holy Evil suddenly stopped its body, its golden eyes looking at Ah Dumb. Suddenly, the double wings behind it fully unfolded, and its body stood upright, a clear dragon's hum resonating through the nine heavens. Ah Dumb clearly saw that from the forehead to the back of the seven golden horns on the Holy Evil's head began to emit intense golden light. The Holy Evil muttered something incoherently, the strange sound incomprehensible to anyone, yet giving people a feeling of being intimidated. The Bone Dragon carrying Ah Dumb and others retreated several steps, its massive skeleton trembling slightly. Its deep purple eyes seemed to reveal a fearful gaze.
Those soldiers who tried to attack Holy Evil were blown away three meters in front of him, and the dragon's roar continued unabated. The golden light emanating from the Golden Horns had completely covered his body, making it seem as if Holy Evil had turned into gold. He suddenly bent down, his tail slightly raised, and the seven Golden Horns on his back pointed towards the sky. The light from the Golden Horns grew stronger, and suddenly, each horn shot out a golden beam of light. The beams illuminated the night sky, converging at an altitude of about thirty meters above the ground. The massive energy caused Bone Dragon to involuntarily retreat another ten meters. Holy Evil's low roar continued to echo, and the hard scales on his back were unable to withstand the enormous energy that kept bursting out, revealing the flesh and blood beneath. A massive golden energy continuously surged out of Holy Evil's body, filling the sky.
The surrounding flying magic attacks were continuously absorbed by the golden light in the air, and those magicians stared blankly at this strange scene, at a loss for what to do.
The besieging soldiers did not dare to move forward, and they all stood still on the spot. Ah-Dai looked at the blood flowing from Sheng Xie's back and felt a great pain in his heart. Through his spiritual power, he shouted loudly, "Xiao Xie, what are you doing?"
Sheng Xie, for the first time, did not respond to Ah Diao's call. His curled up body slowly stood up straight, and his golden horns no longer emitted a golden glow. In the air, a three-meter-diameter golden light ball condensed, Sheng Xie was using an ability that only adult dragon kings possessed - Dragon Language Curse: Golden Devouring. This was a special attack with a large range of killing power, a characteristic skill that only dragon kings could use. To be able to use this special attack of the dragon king, Sheng Xie had almost exhausted all his potential, and afterwards, he fell into a deep sleep for over two years. However, what he didn't know was that it was precisely the appearance of the Dragon Language Curse that made the Bone Dragon, which had become much stronger after absorbing souls, completely loyal to him with true devotion.
The Holy Evil slowly raised one of its front paws, and its golden dragon eyes scanned the surrounding short human soldiers. A hint of disdain flashed in the depths of its eyes, and it let out a low growl, as if saying something. Suddenly, a burst of golden light exploded from the energy ball in the sky, illuminating the entire night sky with a holy aura. The golden light shone like the sun, covering hundreds of square kilometers around the area, except for a 50-meter radius centered on the Holy Evil. The soldiers of the Dark City were almost instantly annihilated, and the surrounding buildings continued to melt away under the golden energy's illumination. Ah-Dai and his companions were completely stunned, their eyes wide with wonder as they watched their surroundings turn into a sea of gold. The surging energy was so powerful that Ah-Dai wondered if he could survive even at the peak of his powers, using all his might to create a protective layer to shield his body. This attack was like a forbidden curse, and even Ice, who had been hovering between life and death, was stunned into silence.
The Dark City is one of the three major cities of the Sunset Empire, covering an area of over 16,000 square kilometers. On March 23rd, 995th year of the Sacred Calendar, a day that no one in the Dark City will ever forget. In the dead of night, when most civilians were still asleep, the northwest part of the city suddenly lit up, as if God was shining his holy light on his people. A massive golden glow spread rapidly from a central point, illuminating the entire city. But it wasn't a divine sign or sacred light - it was a harbinger of death and destruction. Within one minute, all buildings and life in the northwest part of the city, covering about 1% of the total area, vanished under the golden glow, consumed by nothingness. Everything was so simple yet so real - over 60% of the Dark City's garrison disappeared in this cataclysmic attack.
The golden light lasted for a minute before gradually disappearing, and the surroundings turned desolate, as if those buildings had never existed. The night sky returned to silence, with only the sound of people's heavy breathing clearly audible. As his body went limp, Sheng Xie collapsed to the ground, and in Ah Dai's mind, he heard Sheng Xie's voice, "Brother... brother..., take back... the Dragon's Blood... I want to sleep... for a short while, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you... you be careful with everything..."
A'Dai recited the incantation of the Dragon God's blood, and with a pained expression, he withdrew the Holy Evil into the Dragon God's blood. The Holy Evil's efforts had not been in vain, as there were no longer any soldiers or magicians chasing after them in the surrounding area, and only faint remnants of soldiers could be seen a thousand meters away. A'Dai looked at the ice in his arms, patted the Bone Dragon's neck, and shouted: "Let's go, we're breaking out of the Dark City!"
The Bone Dragon seemed to be stunned by the previous attack released by Sheng Xie, and it took a while to reflect on it. It let out a loud roar, moved its huge dragon feet, and quickly rushed in the direction pointed by Ah Dai. Many of the surviving soldiers were frightened and saw the ferocious appearance of the Bone Dragon, immediately scattering and fleeing in all directions. Ah Dai and his group did not encounter any further obstacles, and under the rapid advance of the Bone Dragon, they soon arrived at the West City Gate. The tall and wide city gate was closed, and the defending soldiers shot arrows at them as they rushed over, with waves of arrow rain pouring out to block their advance.
He commanded the Bone Dragon to stop outside the range of the bow and arrow, his eyes flashing with cold light. He carefully placed the Ice Plate on the Bone Dragon's broad back, summoning the Xuan Iron Bow from the Divine Dragon's Blood. Taking a deep breath, he summoned the remaining energy within his body. A yellow long arrow appeared on the bowstring, glowing with a halo. Ah-Dai let out a loud shout and pulled the Xuan Iron Bow to its fullest extent. "Perish, everything that blocks my way!" The bowstring emitted a humming sound, and the yellow shadow flashed by.
The dragon bone felt a sense of fear again, with this old big guy on its back, the attack it launched was not something it could withstand at all!
The stupid arrow method was not accurate, but the city gate was really too big, and it was hard to miss. Suddenly, the arrow flashed like lightning and hit the left half of the city gate, and with a loud noise, the city gate exploded with a diameter of three meters, and the entire city tower was shaking. Ah-Dai shouted loudly, "Charge!" Gu Long rushed out without hesitation, bringing up a cloud of dust behind him. Ah-Dai's shocking arrow stunned the soldiers on the city tower, and combined with the previous terrifying golden light, they were stunned and forgot to attack. When they wanted to stop them again, Gu Long had already carried everyone to the front of the city gate, and the hole in the city gate was still a bit small for him. The dark purple glow in Gu Long's eyes kept flashing, and suddenly he opened his mouth wide, spewing out a faint purple light that poured into the hole Ah-Dai had blasted open, completely melting the remaining part of the city gate. This was Gu Long's self-generated skill "Depraved Flame" after absorbing thousands of souls and upgrading his abilities. Looking at the result he caused, Gu Long excitedly let out a loud roar, and suddenly rushed out without looking back, his speed increasing by more than double, and the sparse arrow rain behind him could not penetrate Ah-Dai's defense.
The skeletal dragon continued to gallop, absorbing the souls and vital energy of many, not feeling the slightest bit tired. It charged forward until it reached a forest dozens of miles away before Ah-Dai finally stopped it. Using the divine dragon's blood to recall the skeletal dragon, Ah-Dai carefully placed the unconscious Bing on the ground. The meridians in his own body were throbbing with pain, his strength now less than 20% remaining.
The rock sighed and said, "Now I understand, human strength is so small. If it weren't for your two dragons, we would have been buried in the Dark City long ago."
Tears streamed down Ah-Dai's face as he muttered, "If Yuè-Yuè were here, it would be great... Ice, you mustn't die!" His current strength was no longer enough to save Ice, whose body was gradually growing colder, his life force fading away thread by thread.
The elf girl walked up to Ah-Dai's side, looked at Ah-Dai with a glance, and said softly: "Let me try it out. Okay?"
"Ah-Dai was taken aback and said: 'Can you save her? Hurry, hurry, please, I beg of you, save her!'"
The spirit girl nodded and said, "You don't have to ask me, you are the queen's friend and saved me from those evil people, you are my benefactor! Even if we didn't have any relationship, I wouldn't abandon you. However, I'm afraid my abilities aren't enough, so I can only try. You should rest for a while too, your physical strength is being consumed too much, this way, you won't be able to hold on. Rest assured and take a break, before you wake up, at least I won't let her condition get worse than now. The pursuers are almost here, we need to increase our strength to deal with them." In fact, the Dark City had already fallen into chaos, with many civilians and soldiers dead, the whole city was in disarray, who would have time to chase after Ah Dai and the others?
Listening to the gentle words of the spirit girl, Ah-Dai's body gradually relaxed, and he nodded slightly, sat down on the ground, and began to adjust his breath. The Rock Brothers walked to Ah-Dai's side, one on the left and one on the right, holding their own weapons, focusing their attention on the direction of the Dark City, with a resolute expression on their faces.
The fairy girl said: "You guys should rest for a while too, you were all injured just now."
Yan Shi shook his head and said, "No, we must ensure Ah Duan brother's safety first. You quickly treat this girl's injuries. When Ah Duan wakes up, we'll adjust our breath." Yan Shi's regret in his heart was beyond words. Among the three people, he had always thought that he was the most sensitive, but at the critical moment, he was still deceived by Huo Dun, almost trapping the three of them in a desperate situation. If it weren't for Ah Duan and the two dragons he summoned, as well as Bing's timely delivery of the antidote, Cold Condensation Frost, the three of them would not have had any chance to escape.
The elf girl nodded, knelt down beside Ice, and carefully unwrapped the bandages on her body. The shocking wound revealed the bones inside. The elf girl stretched out her index finger, muttered a few spells, and a faint green glow appeared at her fingertips. She carefully pointed to Ice's wound, and the green light flashed and entered the wound. The elf girl closed her eyes and continued to chant, and under the inquiry of natural magic, she was shocked to discover that the shoulder bone and collarbone inside Ice's wound were completely shattered and could not be repaired. Sighing, the elf girl slowly chanted: "Great God of Nature, please lend me the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to nourish the living being in front of me." The green glow enveloped the elf girl's body, and she slowly placed her hand on top of Ice, the light flashing and slowly entering Ice's body, nourishing her.
