Chapter 344: Chapter 247: Is Your Array Useful?
At this moment, Long Yi was like a human cannonball, hurtling through the air towards a Red Dragon Knight with a deafening roar. The Red Dragon Knight hadn’t expected Long Yi to abandon his Mount Dragon and charge over by himself. In his panic, he bombarded Long Yi with more fighting aura attacks. However, Long Yi, soaring in mid-air, had no way to dodge, nor did he care to. The fighting aura blasts hit him square-on but were easily tanked.
The Red Dragon Knight was left with three options at this point. First, stay where he was and try to topple Long Yi with fighting aura attacks. However, it was clear already that this wasn’t getting him anywhere. The second option was to change his position and let Long Yi fly past. But wouldn’t that mean Long Yi could break out of this joint offensive array? The third choice was to do nothing and allow Long Yi to crash into him. There was a high chance that Long Yi would get knocked unconscious as he smashed into the dragon, but there was also an equally likely possibility that the dragon-slaying sword in Long Yi’s hand could gravely wound the Mount Dragon.
The crowd had witnessed Long Yi’s strength. If they let him crash into them like this, no one was confident they could definitely handle him!
Dodge!
They must dodge! Not only dodge, the entire formation needs to react, keeping Long Yi constantly locked within the array!
However, they had neglected Xiaoyou on the other side.
As soon as Xiaoyou had used all her strength to fling Long Yi, she almost simultaneously charged in the opposite direction of Long Yi, heading straight for the Dragon Knights on the other side. Usually, a dragon without a Dragon Knight would see its combat power decrease, but not Xiaoyou. As a Shadow Dragon, which most Dragon Knights sneer at, she was even more nimble without a Dragon Knight on her back!
The Red Dragon was provoked, seeing the Shadow Dragon dodge an array of fighting aura attacks and dragon breaths, rushing straight towards it. The Red Dragon let out an irritated roar and was ready to counter the attack. However, Xiaoyou suddenly performed a series of flips, passing under the Red Dragon, while her sharp wings slashed the dragon’s belly thrice!
"Roar!" The Red Dragon could only feel intense pain in its abdomen. Although the injury was minor, it couldn’t track Xiaoyou’s movements, and before it knew it, she was already out of its reach.
At this moment, the entire formation was shifting to follow Long Yi’s movements while Xiaoyou had distracted one of their own, breaking the formation immediately!
"The formation is broken," said Lin Qi.
"It really is," Cain was stunned, but then he began to laugh, "But what difference does it make? In an aerial battle, a Dragon Knight will never separate from their Mount Dragon. All our tactics are premised on this fact. Now that Long Yi has been separated from his contract dragon, they managed to disrupt our formation, albeit temporarily. But even without an array, if Long Yi is bombarded by the surrounding Dragon Knights with fighting aura attacks, his fighting aura will burn out in a minute, regardless of him having four dragon marks. By then, he’ll fall to his death even if we don’t attack!"
"Really?" Lin Qi chuckled, his single eye gleaming, "From what I see, he doesn’t look like he’s going to burn out anytime soon."
The Red Dragon’s formation had been broken, and Long Yi instantly felt a sense of relief. However, the Dragon Knights of the Red Dragon Empire did not let up. The Dragon Knights who had been repelled earlier returned to their positions. In the blink of an eye, the entire formation was about to reform!
Damn it, these bastards are still not done? They gang up on one person, and now they’re playing attrition warfare with me? Is this some kind of sick joke?
"Bajie!"
With a loud roar from Long Yi, Bajie emerged, the opponent’s formation reappeared, and Bajie’s molten iron was already spraying in his face.
"Damn it! Spread out!"
The Red Dragon Knights scramble to avoid the molten iron, and the newly formed formation once again collapses.
"Look, this time they didn’t even need any tricks. Just a single blast is enough to break your formation." Lin Qi said lazily. Cain was speechless.
This formation was specifically trained to handle the Black Dragon Empire. The Black Dragons of the Black Dragon Empire had a short range of breath and could be purified by flames, hence, the Black Dragon Knights within this formation; even the top-ranking Guardian Dragon Knights would be at a severe disadvantage.
However, this time, the formation faced an anomaly like Long Yi. Previously, the Shadow Dragon was still fine, its only advantage of speed couldn’t be utilized within the intensive fighting aura bombardment. They managed to disrupt the formation in the end through separating the man-dragon pair. But now, with the emergence of the Demon Abyss Dragon, it left the Red Dragon Knights in a predicament.
The Demon Abyss Dragon’s dragon breath was purely molten iron. Thanks to its gigantic body, the molten iron could be propelled a great distance. The most terrifying part was, this molten iron could not be neutralized by the Red Dragon’s dragon breath. After all, it was already highly heated molten iron. Apart from making the iron even hotter, their dragon breath was practically useless.
Without the utility of the formation, both dragon breath and fighting aura attacks had limited effects on Long Yi.
Despite Bajie’s considerable size, its agility significantly outstripped that of the Red Dragons, and it definitely couldn’t be outrun.
But don’t forget, there’s still Xiaoyou!
With Long Yi not on her back, Xiaoyou felt incredibly relaxed. She made a wide circle in the air at a high speed and then suddenly launched an attack. The Red Dragon Knights, who had previously been focusing on attacking Bajie, only then realized they weren’t only dealing with Long Yi; they were dealing with another dragon!
Along with Xiaoyou’s attack came Long Yi’s fighting aura attack.
The fighting aura, with annihilation effect, had a huge destructive power whether it hit the human body or a dragon. Several people were wounded in an instant.
Suddenly, there was a change in the atmosphere on the battlefield.
At first, everyone from the Red Dragon Empire was acting carefree. However, when they realized how formidable Long Yi was, they started to take it seriously. Now, seeing their brothers injured one after another, and under circumstances when a group was ganging upon a single man, their pride started to waver.
Honestly, none of the sides had used their full strength nor were they keen on fighting to the death since the opponent was a troop and an ally. All it took was one side surrendering.
However, up till now, Long Yi obviously hadn’t lost. Were they, the ones with greater numbers, had to admit defeat? They had greater numbers yet still ended up losing. Wouldn’t this be an embarrassing joke when they returned?
The tension escalated, and so their attacks were delivered with greater force.
Bajie and Long Yi had taken more damage, but, Long Yi was gradually getting excited.
Yes, ever since Long Yi entered the Four Dragon Marks, there was no pressure in his ordinary training. No pressure meant no motivation! And now, the pressure was on!
This is exactly what I want!
Although Bajie’s body was huge, being big has its perks!
I’m a heavy bomber!
Every time his giant wings flapped, they would cause air turbulence, using the air currents to interfere with the enemy. This high-level dogfighting technique used on a Dragon Knight was indeed a godly skill.
Shrouded in a rain of molten metal and scattered Fighting Aura, Long Yi was struggling amidst the aerial melee.
"Tsk, tsk, a group of people fighting one and they mean to fight for real. Cain, you and your soldiers are becoming more and more shameless." Lin Qi suddenly said.
"Hmph, what use is a face on the battlefield!" Although Cain replied this way, his face was still blushing.
"In that case..." Lin Qi suddenly turned to Long Yi and shouted, "Long Yi! You have three minutes to end the battle! If you can’t do it! Then return to the Dragon Knight Academy!"
After Lin Qi roared, Cain looked at Lin Qi like he was looking at a monster, "Bro, I think you want your precious Long Yi to rest, right? Three minutes? From what I can see, let alone three minutes, even three hours, or three days, will not be enough to win."
But Lin Qi just laughed: "Then just wait and see."
Of course, Long Yi heard Lin Qi’s words. As for the one-eyed vice captain, Long Yi really couldn’t figure out what the other party was thinking. But since the order was given, if he didn’t execute it, he couldn’t possibly keep following the Red Dragon Empire, right? Originally, he wanted to continue training with these passionate youngsters, but it seemed he should finish this quickly.
So, Long Yi grinned.
"You’re chosen, Maid Little Zi!"
The female demon, Little Zi, appeared on the battlefield with a soft laugh.
"Oh my God! It’s a female demon!"
A Red Dragon Rider suddenly shouted.
"Your mum is a female demon? You kid realized so quickly that someone is your mum?"
"It’s a female demon!! Female demon!!!" The person being teased shouted hoarsely. Then, the other absent-minded Dragon Rider finally saw Little Zi rushing towards him.
"Dragon Breath!"
Roar!
The surrounding Red Dragons instantly spewed crossfire of Dragon Breath in an attempt to block Little Zi. Dragon’s Breath contained a great amount of Dragon Power, which naturally threatened the energy-body female demon, but Little Zi wasn’t stupid enough to rush over directly, she easily dodged in the air and waved her hands repeatedly. Giant icicles condensed in the air, turning into dozens of ice spears, attacking the Dragon Riders in front.
The ice spears were nearly ten meters long, almost the size of a dragon spear, and they contained a strong Mana. If taken lightly, they could seriously injure either human or dragon.
Damn it!
The two Dragon Riders Little Zi was fighting dodged frantically. Though there were many ice spears, they were still predictable. Both men were career soldiers who had gone through life and death training. Although they responded less calmly, they managed to dodge in the nick of time. The next moment, a shadow rushed past, and a Dragon Rider was yanked straight off his dragon.
That was Xiaoyou!
The Dragon Rider only felt a burning pain in his ankle, probably caused by the failure to unbuckle his boots when he was grabbed. Fortunately, he hadn’t strapped his boots tightly today, otherwise, it might not have ended with a dislocated ankle.
Xiaoyou grabbed the man and threw him far away. His mount flew over to catch him. The Dragon Rider immediately lowered his head and descended to the ground in despair. If this were a real battle, Xiaoyou could’ve torn him to pieces. Letting him go was already a great mercy.
Witnessing their comrade’s ’fall’, all the Red Dragon Riders understood that Long Yi’s counterattack had begun. They stood no chance against the elusive female demon, Little Zi.
Moreover, the little demoness hadn’t used her famous mind control yet!
Just as they were talking, suddenly a wave of unprecedented Mental Impact came. The Dragon Riders suddenly felt a wave of inexplicable dizziness, even their dragon mounts felt unsteady!
Not only them, even Cain, who was watching from afar, could feel the aftershocks of the Mental Impact.
Then, Long Yi began his performance! (To be continued. If you like this novel, please come to qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
