Chapter 1040: Chapter 66 Golden Swallowing_3
Sheng Xie’s voice rose within Ah Dai’s heart, "Brother, climb onto my little brother’s back, he’s bigger and stronger than me. I’ll clear the way in the front, and let him carry you."
Ah Dai nodded, then turned to look at the Bone Dragon, which seemed to have received Sheng Xie’s instructions and had already lowered its body. Ah Dai shouted, "Big brother, take the Fairy onto the Bone Dragon, let’s break out."
Yan Shi stepped back a few steps, wrapped his arms around the Fairy’s delicate body, and together with Yan Li, they leapt onto the back of the Bone Dragon. Ah Dai sprang up, landing on the neck of the Bone Dragon. He tore off his Magic Robe and tightly bound it around Ah Bing’s wounds, whispering softly, "Ah Bing, you must hold on, trust me, I will definitely get you out of here."
Despite her gentle smile, as if her wounded body felt no pain, Ah Bing rested her head against Ah Dai’s chest and murmured, "Being... in... your... arms... I feel... so... warm... ah! No... matter... what... happens..., I... am... already... content..." Ah Dai’s True Qi barely sustained Ah Bing’s life, continuously nourishing her damaged meridians, but her lungs had been seriously injured and her life was slowly fading away.
Ah Dai yelled, "Break out!" Sheng Xie roared towards the sky, its body soaring high. It unleashed a burst of gray Dragon Breath towards the most packed cluster of soldiers, instantly vanishing hundreds. The Bone Dragon followed right behind Sheng Xie, its massive body impervious to the common soldiers’ attacks. Thousands of soldiers surrounded them in waves, ceaselessly attacking, but due to the narrow streets, not many could reach the two giant dragons. The heavy armored infantry posed some threat to Sheng Xie, forcing it to continuously spit out Dragon Breath to kill any approaching foes. While Dark City had few mages, there were nonetheless some. These fully bought mages kept launching various magic attacks at the two dragons. The combined attack of more than ten mages was terrifying. Ah Dai painfully created a defensive net to protect the back of the Bone Dragon, splitting his energy between maintaining Ah Bing’s life and protecting everyone. Sweat poured down his face, and the residual True Qi within him dwindled. If not for the regenerating nature of True Qi, he would have been exhausted by now.
The Yan brothers couldn’t help at all. The Fairy barely managed to release a thin layer of pale green Barrier, assisting Ah Dai in defense, but the situation became increasingly unfavorable for them. After all, Sheng Xie was still a young dragon with limited Dragon Breath, which had already consumed much of its energy. By this moment, it dared not use any more Dragon Breath and had to rely solely on its strong body, clawing and sweeping its tail as it pressed forward. Suddenly, Ah Dai noticed the Bone Dragon’s body seemed to be slowly transforming; the souls of the many dead soldiers around it were relentlessly absorbed by it, its originally greenish eyes gradually turning purple. The huge body emitted light sounds, and instead of decreasing, its attacking power seemed to be increasing.
Sheng Xie had become frenzied, its gray scales completely soaked in human soldiers’ blood, turning it into a blood-red Giant Dragon. It kept slaughtering; already a thousand soldiers had died by its hand. Yet, as more and more people gathered around, Sheng Xie’s power gradually diminished. Distant mages continuously released magic, sending fireballs and ice spikes striking its body, while an incessant rain of arrows fell like locusts, which, although unable to harm the dragons, made it even more difficult for Ah Dai and the others to cope.
Suddenly, Sheng Xie halted, its golden eyes turning towards Ah Dai. All at once, it spread its wings completely and stood upright, a clear Dragon Roar resonating through the heavens. Ah Dai clearly saw as from Sheng Xie’s forehead to its back, seven Golden Horns began emitting intense golden light. Sheng Xie murmured something indistinguishable that left a daunting impression on anyone who couldn’t understand the strange sound. The Bone Dragon carrying Ah Dai and the others stepped back a few paces, its enormous skeleton trembling slightly. Deep purple eyes appeared to show a glimpse of fear.
The soldiers trying to attack Sheng Xie were blown back three meters away from its front. Sheng Xie’s Dragon Roar continued without end, the light from the Golden Horns enveloping its body, making Sheng Xie seem like it had turned golden. It then bent down, its tail slightly raised, the seven Golden Horns pointing to the sky. The light from the horns grew brighter, and suddenly, each horn shot out a beam of golden light, illuminating the night sky. About thirty meters above the ground, the seven beams converged, creating an enormous energy that made the Bone Dragon unwittingly retreat another ten meters. Sheng Xie’s muffled roars kept sounding as its tough scales burst open under the immense energy, revealing the flesh beneath. Massive waves of Golden Energy surged from Sheng Xie, filling the sky.
The magic attacks flying from around were continuously absorbed by the golden light in the sky, leaving the mages watching this bizarre scene dumbfounded and at a loss.
