Chapter 422: Chapter 90: Reunion with Xuan Yue_3
Ah Dai used his precious Instant Teleportation for the second time, finally snagging a slight advantage. The Xuan Yue bow in his hand, paired with the powerful attack power generated by the Energy Arrow, was his most potent weapon outside of the Sword of Hades. He clearly knew that at such a close distance, he had an opportunity to fire only one arrow, and then he would have to face the enemy’s powerful strike. He hadn’t practised archery in an year and accuracy was not a concern. He originally intended to intimidate the enemy, but the opponent’s strategy of forming a Defence Shield made him rejoice inside. If I can’t shoot a person, can I not shoot an energy field? Facing such a formidable defence, Ah Dai couldn’t help but test the destructive power of Energy Arrow. He bellowed, and the yellow-green Energy Arrow erupted, combining his own strength and the amplification of the Xuan Yue bow to launch a peerless attack. Like a phantom, it crossed the sky in an instant, accurately hitting the Defence Shield formed by the eight Assassins. With a deafening rumble, the vibrating sound of the bowstring sounded simultaneously, and the eight Assassins sprayed blood and retreated. The impact force generated by the Xuan Yue bow in conjunction with the Energy Arrow was so great that even their combined strength could not avoid being injured. Yet, the eight members were indeed the top assassins of the Assassin’s Guild. They did not allow Ah Dai a chance to draw his bow; once they retreated, they surged forward as eight black shadows moved like lightning towards Ah Dai.
Ah Dai had consecutively used Nether Slash, Tian Luo Net, and Energy Arrow, combined with the sustained injuries at the beginning, most of his internal strength had been depleted by now. When the Energy Arrow had burst into the opponent’s barrier, he had a chance to escape, but, he had already made up his mind for a do-or-die battle and was gathering energy in place. Seeing all eight enemies attacking simultaneously, he was somewhat hesitant. Should he use Instant Teleportation for the last time? Just then, Ah Dai trapped in the crisis suddenly felt his chest heat up - a familiar message entered his mind: "Big Brother, let me out quickly, let Sheng Xie help you." Ah Dai rejoiced. After slumbering for over two years, Sheng Xie had finally awakened. As long as he had Sheng Xie’s help, he will at least have some fighting strength. With that in mind, Ah Dai quickly retreated, summoning all his power to fire solid Energy Spheres into the air towards the assailants.
Boom - the violent shock made Ah Dai fly up. He was severely injured from the impact and blood spurted out. His body spun in the air several rounds before he finally crashed to the ground. The strength of the eight assassins combined was truly terrifying. What Ah Dai didn’t know was that the combined strength of these eight assassins was enough to contend with a Sword Saint. If it weren’t for his consecutive unique skills and the power of the Goris’ Wish, he would have already been defeated. Despite the severe injuries, Ah Dai was overjoyed - he had managed to buy himself ample time. He quickly chanted, "Trigger the gate of time and space with Divine Dragon’s Blood.", blue light illuminated, a furious Dragon Roars sounded, and the tremendous roar echoed through the Illusive Forest, causing the surrounding plants to quake. Animals within a radius of several thousand meters dropped to the ground, overwhelmed by the mighty dragon might.
Although the eight assassins had resolved the powerful Energy Sphere, they couldn’t avoid certain injuries due to the energy arrow fired from the Xuan Yue bow earlier. This caused their bodies to falter involuntarily. The continuous failures had flared their anger to the extreme and they were about to slay Ah Dai with all their might, when they saw a terrifying scene. A giant figure about seven meters long appeared in front of Ah Dai, who had fallen to the ground. The roar reverberated through the heavens and the earth. The angry golden eyes glared at them. The highly defensive scales over its body glowed under the sunlight, and the seven golden horns on its head and back flashed with cold light, making it look invincible.
One of the assassins remembered from the data collected in the Assassin’s Guild. There was a record that Ah Dai had summoned a silver dragon in the City of Darkness and destroyed everything within a certain range. Could the terrifying creature now be that silver dragon?
Yes, Sheng Xie woke up. After exceeding its energy boundaries to emit the golden Devouring spell before, it fell into sleep due to excessive exhaustion, and after more than two years of recuperation, its body gradually recovered, but since all the energy it drew from the Divine Dragon’s Blood was used to replenish its own body, Sheng Xie hadn’t evolved during two years, still in its growth period. Today, in the face of the mortal threat Ah Dai faced, the tightly-bound thoughts with Ah Dai finally awakened Sheng Xie. It didn’t care who the opponent was, anyone who tried to harm Ah Dai was its enemy. Without any hesitation, after roaring, it unleashed a large stream of grey Dragon’s Breath, aiming at eight assassins.
The large-scale attack left the assassins with no chance to dodge, forcing them to form a Defence Aura Shield once again. They believed that no matter how powerful this dragon was, it would not be able to penetrate their combined defence. However, they were wrong. Sheng Xie’s current strength indeed could not surpass them, but the dragon breath endowed with terrible corrosive power could corrode everything. The grey Dragon’s Breath covered the Defence Shield formed by the assassins without causing any impact, to their horror, they found that the Defence Shield laden with enormous energy was gradually melting under the grey gas. The dissolution speed was slow, but the threat of death was looming upon them.
