Chapter 200: Chapter 45 - Five-second Defense_1
"Boom—" The Wrath of the Gods heavily struck the Guardian of Light that surrounded Ah Dai’s body. Due to both magics being of the light attribute, there wasn’t any issue of attribute counters. Ah Dai’s body violently shook, involuntarily taking a few steps back. His Guardian of Light instantly began to weaken, and in less than a second, it already started to break apart. Under the pressure of the magic attack, fresh blood uncontrollably spurted out from Ah Dai. His Life Aura also significantly weakened. His spiritual power had reached the brink of collapse.
Xuan Ye was also in shock. He didn’t expect the defense magic released by Ah Dai to withstand the first strike and hurriedly pushed his magic power to continue the attack. At this point, two seconds had passed since Xuan Ye’s attack. Meanwhile, the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang who was hidden away was surprised, he had been prepared to help, but when he saw Ah Dai unleashing the defense magic, he could not help but reconsider. He decided to wait and see what other magical treasures his little disciple had in store, planning to intervene when Ah Dai could no longer hold on.
To withstand the impact of the Wrath of the Gods, Ah Dai’s body moved back, ending up ten meters away. He painfully tried to maintain the Guardian of Light, but it was only a level 6 defense magic. Although boosted by the power of the Dragon’s Blood, it was definitely not a match for Xuan Ye’s Wrath of the Gods. Finally, during the third second, the Guardian of Light shield casted by Ah Dai turned into specks of light and disappeared. The golden Wrath of the Gods heavily struck his own Life Aura. Ah Dai’s left hand became incredibly hot as his Guardian Ring crazily absorbed the attacking energy from the Wrath of the Gods. However, the energy was too massive for the ring to absorb in time. Ah Dai’s body shook again and more blood came out. It looked like he could collapse at any moment.
Xuan Ye’s heart leaped in surprise. Fearing for Ah Dai’s life, he was just about to stop when suddenly, a brilliant blue light emanated from Ah Dai’s chest. A surge of blue energy rushed out and quickly shielded in front of him, the energy converging into the shape of a dragon, completely engulfing the Wrath of the Gods. At this point, Ah Dai had already passed out because of the overwhelming energy, oblivious to the fact that the Dragon’s Blood flowed within him, and under the influence of the dragon egg, it was now swallowing Xuan Ye’s divine power.
Xuan Ye was greatly shocked. To his horror, he found that his Wrath of the Gods was being steadily consumed by the blue energy dragon like a mud cow entering the sea. His magic power was rapidly depleting. He could not comprehend what was happening. To prevent a substantial reduction in his strength due to over-consumption of his magic power, he was forced to dissipate his attack. The golden glow weakened, and the Wrath of the Gods returned to a faint golden light. Simultaneously, the blue energy dragon in front of Ah Dai’s chest also disappeared. The Dragon’s Blood did not inherently possess absorbing power. However, it had absorbed a significant amount of Evil Power to protect Ah Dai from the evil aura of the Sword of Hades. One of the characteristics of the Sword of Hades’ Evil Power was to devour the soul. Under the fusion of the Dragon’s Blood and the Hades’ Divine Power, it erupted at the most crucial moment when Ah Dai was in danger, displaying its one-time absorption ability to save him. The absorbed Evil Power and the divine power of the Wrath of the Gods were completely absorbed by the awakening dragon egg.
Xuan Ye’s body swayed a little as he watched Ah Dai collapse, muttering to himself in disbelief, "The Dragon’s Blood... Impossible... How can he possess the Dragon’s Blood?" While Xuan Ye wasn’t entirely clear about the power of the Dragon’s Blood, he recognized the form of the blue energy. According to the scriptures of the Church, the blue dragon-shaped energy was the symbol of the Dragon’s Blood.
Xi Wen floated down beside Ah Dai, carrying him up and said slightly angrily, "Your Excellency, the time elapsed has surely been more than five seconds." As he spoke, he directed his True Qi into Ah Dai’s body, helping him recover his breath.
When Ah Dai fell, Xuan Yue felt dizzy, all energy had been drained from her. She frantically ran to Ah Dai, sobbing, "Ah Dai, Ah Dai, you mustn’t let anything happen to you!"
Xi Wen found that, although Ah Dai’s body was weak and his internal energy channels had suffered a certain degree of shock, his injuries were not heavy. He reassured Xuan Yue, "Don’t worry, he’ll be fine."
Xuan Ye sighed. With Ah Dai’s own strength, it was simply impossible for him to fight Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye didn’t know where Ah Dai had obtained the protective relic of the first Pope — the Dragon’s Blood. He thought that it seemed to be the will of the Gods and it couldn’t be forced. He floated next to Xuan Yue, speaking faintly, "Since Ah Dai persisted for five seconds, let him keep the Sword of Hades for the time being. However, if he does anything wrong in the future relying on the evil power of the Sword of Hades, the Church will not forgive him. Yue Yue, let’s go." After finishing his sentence, he sealed Xuan Yue’s movements with his magic power, took her along and was about to leave.
"Do you think you can simply come and go as you please in Tian Gang Mountain? Thinking you can show off your power and then just leave? I’m afraid it’s not that simple." A breeze blew gently, and suddenly a man appeared in front of Xuan Ye. It was the Sword Saint of Tian Gang.
"Greetings, Master." Upon seeing the Sword Saint of Tian Gang, Xi Wen and his brother felt a sigh of relief and quickly performed the salutation. As a matter of fact, as soon as Xuan Ye suggested that Ah Dai withstand the defense for five seconds, Xi Wen sent his younger brother to the back of the mountain to inform the Sword Saint of Tian Gang. He knew that the Church was not to be trifled with, and it would be better for his Master to handle such an important matter.
Xuan Ye stared intently at the man standing in front of him, wondering if this was the famed Sword Saint of Tian Gang. From the outside, there was nothing unusual. He nodded slightly, "What do you mean by this?"
