Chapter 447
The earth trembled, and inside the cave, stalactites that had stood for millions of years were falling.
As soon as Xuan Jing turned around, he saw a thick, earthen-yellow object suddenly shoot out from the side of the road behind Chen Dahai in the distance, completely blocking the road that had already collapsed halfway.
'That's its tail, it's a trap!' The thought flashed through his mind, and his fighting instincts told him that he had to launch an attack immediately.
To lure them closer, the earth dragon coiled its body into a ring, a posture unsuitable for an immediate attack. It had no choice but to seize this opportunity for a desperate fight.
"Give me a hand!"
Zhong Ming moved swiftly, summoning the Mother and Child Swords. A streak of light pierced the air, rapidly weaving through countless falling stone pillars, heading straight ahead.
Seeing this, the earth dragon assumed that the mother and child swords were about to attack it, so it quickly gathered its demonic power in its mouth and spewed out a breath of dragon fire, which was as hot and fiery as a waterfall of lava, carrying dark red rocks towards the flying sword, while its dragon claws swept out and slapped at Xuan Jing.
With a flick of his wrist, Zhong Ming sent his flying sword tracing a graceful arc through the air. The sword then swung horizontally and struck Xuan Jing's back with a ferocious force.
Even his precious armor emitted a dull thud.
His short, stout body accelerated suddenly with the momentum of the longsword, just managing to dodge the dragon's claws. He slipped through the gap, crashed to the ground like a ball, and then sprang up, leaping towards the dragon's head.
"Die!"
The stacks of red explosive talismans he had hidden on his back were spontaneously combusting without fire, and the imprisoned spiritual runes were on the verge of exploding.
He called this tactic "giving red envelopes".
The money you're receiving is from the Heaven and Earth Bank; take your money and go find the King of Hell!
He threw the "red envelope" away violently, kicked his right ankle with his left foot, knocking off the lightness talisman stuck to his foot, and his body sank, falling downwards.
Seeing a deadly attack hurtling towards its face, the earth dragon didn't even entertain the idea of dodging it unharmed. It shook its head, and its whiskers lashed out like steel whips, striking the pile of talismans with pinpoint accuracy. Instantly, a deafening explosion spread outwards.
The powerful shockwave blinded Zhong Ming, and he charged forward with his hook-and-sickle spear in almost complete blindness.
Chen Dahai, who was in the distance, could see it clearly. He pulled the crossbow strings with both hands, and a volley of arrows that had been prepared beforehand shot out with a "whoosh". Each arrow was surrounded by various creatures formed from flames, all of which were ancient ferocious beasts.
Leading the charge were five divine arrows, transformed into the forms of a Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin, with countless beasts galloping behind them, like a raging tide of fiery monsters. When facing the shockwave of the explosion, the arrows in front slowed down slightly, which allowed the arrows behind to catch up. Although they moved at different speeds, they would all arrive at the dragon's head at the same time.
The earth dragon's head swung back to its original position, and the gust of wind generated by the flicking of its whiskers tore through the smoke of the explosion. Its dragon eyes, like dim lights in a dark room, swept across the battlefield, discerning the current situation. The dragon's claws, which had missed their target, actually hooked up and struck Xuan Jing's lower back as he was falling.
He was thrown into the air uncontrollably, and a foul-smelling, blood-red maw awaited him.
"not good!"
Zhong Ming realized the danger at that moment, but the mother and child swords had already flown several meters away, and it was too late. He could only steer the flying swords straight into the dragon's eye, trying to force the earth dragon to turn its head.
The onslaught of fiery arrows and twin swords did not faze the earth dragon. It confidently looked ahead, and the dragon breath it had just spewed became extremely slow, like lava about to cool and solidify slowly falling to the ground, but also like light refracting on a mirror, without any loss of momentum, and perfectly bounced off the rocks. The torrent of dragon breath collided head-on with the "fire beast horde" crossbow bolts.
Brilliant flames bloomed in the sky, like a towering wall of fiery rock erected to isolate everything. This moment was like an eternity, but it shattered like rain in the next breath. Broken crossbow bolts and extremely hot rocks fell towards Zhong Ming with a force more powerful than a meteor shower.
"Go protect the captain!"
"No, my mission is to protect you."
"He wasn't wearing armor!"
Yue Kaishan then realized the seriousness of the problem and took out two shields from his storage bag.
The Shield Guard's training focuses on two points: how to quickly reach their position and how to hold their ground.
Yue Kaishan then demonstrated the first point.
He placed a shield on the ground as a skateboard. When spiritual energy was injected into the shield, a faint glow supported the heavy shell. Yue Kaishan's strong body stepped on it, and the two floated on the rocks. It looked like a siege chariot charging at full speed, but it was as light as a breeze blowing across the sand dunes without stirring up a single grain of sand.
At this moment, Zhong Ming was unleashing the "Spring Cold" technique, a single strike of extreme cold shattering the massive "lava" in front of him into fragments that were completely frozen. Then, he used "Grain Rain" to strike, the force of his spear surpassing that of a waterfall, turning everything that came his way into dust.
Two clear sounds rang out at the same time.
The dragon's head turned slightly, and the sound of the mother and child swords striking the dragon scales on its forehead was the sound of Xuan Jing's iron armor colliding head-on with the dragon's teeth.
Zhong Ming unleashed a move called "Great Heat," scattering all the dragon's breath and demonic power that had been dissipating around him. When he turned around, he saw the earth dragon making a swallowing motion, looking at him with a cold yet intense gaze.
A cold gaze is fixed on a dead body, while a fiery gaze is fixed on a delicious meal.
"Brother Cuihong!"
"I'm going to charge through!"
Zhong Ming didn't turn around at all. He had no idea that Yue Kaishan had come on a "skateboard." He was saying this to Chen Dahai, instructing him to fire crossbow bolts for cover.
However, Yue Kaishan thought it was directed at him, and grabbed Zhong Ming onto the "skateboard," which interrupted his final move of the Four Seasons Cycle, "Autumn Equinox."
"What the hell are you doing... watch out!"
Before he finished speaking, a dragon claw slammed down, and Yue Kaishan gave Zhong Ming a serious look, his eyes conveying only one meaning.
'Believe me.'
Double shields closed, defend!
The dragon's claw slammed into the ground, creating a gust of wind that shook the surrounding earth even more violently. Chen Dahai had to move his wheelchair himself to avoid the falling stalactites.
Of course, he wasn't worried about Zhong Ming and Yue Kaishan, because at the last moment when the dragon claw fell, he saw a "river clam".
Two slightly curved shields, like clams, protected them inside.
When fighting across borders, it's common for a second-rank cultivator to unleash power approaching that of a third-rank cultivator. It's also common for me, a peak-level Qi cultivator, to block an attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
that is....
Zhong Ming's face was deformed by Yue Kaishan's thick, hard pectoral muscles, and the two grown men were sandwiched together in an uncomfortable position.
