My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 209 Unblocking
"Rumble--"

The wind in my ears sounded like the roar of an angry beast.

Between lightning and thunder, the day passed in a flash.

The light of lightning illuminated the surrounding environment, Xia Li saw the falling rocks, the river water beating like waves, and the strange shapes of broken branches, like withered hands.

Being able to use supernatural powers to interfere with the natural environment on Earth like this shows that the magic power controlled by the other party is absolutely astonishing.

More importantly, Xia Li could feel a terrifying power inside the black sphere in front of him.

Unlike the magic in the Aize continent, the magic emitted by this time traveler made Xia Li feel unfamiliar.

Seems to be more irritable?
I don’t know if it is possible to use the Demon-Exorcising Sword to transform the magic power into a compatible type that Xia Li can use, just like Wuqi’s superpower.

In this way, wouldn't it be possible to snatch the magic power of this time traveler brother and give it to Lucia?

Such a thought flashed through Xia Li's mind.

The most urgent task now is to resolve the immediate danger.

The good news is that after the power outage, the monitoring equipment on various roads was also shut down.

The bad news is that this time traveler made too much noise, and there is a chance that a satellite could capture the current scene...

Xia Li was reluctant to let Lucia take action because he had considered this possibility.

In order to hide his dragon wife, he can do anything.

"Chong-"

Xia Li reached his hand behind his head, grabbed the hilt of the sword on his back, and pulled it out with a little force.

The sealing magic on the Demon-Exorcist Sword was automatically lifted, and as the sword was unsheathed, the sharp blade emitted a faint blue light, as if it could easily cut off the darkness before its eyes.

Before coming here, Xia Li had hesitated countless times.

But all these hesitations were broken by Lucia.

Now that he has decided to move forward, he will no longer hesitate.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Li held the sword and stepped into the darkness that could not be covered by light.

The moment you enter the spherical black hole, the whistling wind and rain in your ears disappear in vain.

There is no sound, no light, and time seems to have been paused inside.

Xia Li held the Demon-Repelling Sword and moved forward step by step. He saw traces of rainwater flowing on the road beneath his feet. Mud mixed with pebbles was washed away by the water and finally flowed into the rivers.

There was no bloody time travel happening, Xia Li was still on that low bridge.

Slightly relieved, he walked forward a few steps until he saw a man in a thin sweatshirt sitting dejectedly on the ground.

It was not until Xia Li approached and the sound of footsteps broke the silence that the man reacted and raised his head slightly.

"..."

The other person looked young, about the same age as Xia Li, but his black eyes were quite cloudy, with a sense of vicissitudes that only came after experiencing countless despairs.

Xia Li's gaze slowly moved downwards, and with the help of the light of the Demon-Exorcising Sword, he saw in the center of the man's torn clothes, the black stone embedded in the surface of his chest, which was emitting a strange power with the rhythm of his heartbeat.

I can vaguely feel that the magic comes from here.

"author?"

The man raised his gaze, and looked at Xia Li with eyes filled with endless despair.

Unable to focus, eyes are dilated.

Such a look reminded Xia Li of the desperate criminals he had seen on the continent of Aize who had lost their hometowns, wives and children.

Only a person like that could have such a terrifying gaze.

The other party's thinking and reaction abilities were not weak, and he guessed Xia Li's identity in an instant.

——After all, under such circumstances, the only person who could appear here was Xia Li, the 'author'.

"The cute silver dragon head portrait...is not a soft girl."

His tone was calm, but he seemed very disappointed.

Finally, he set his eyes on the Demon-Repelling Sword in Xia Li's hand.

The sword has been unsheathed.

The blue sword light was particularly dazzling in the darkness, and the magical fluctuations emanating from it were somewhat special, at least not the type he had seen before.

The only thing that can be seen is...

The other party is not an easy person to deal with.

"Nice sword." He grinned.

Xia Li weighed the Demon-Exorcising Sword in his hand without any hesitation and said "hmm" softly.

"I'm here to stop you."

Xia Li is not stupid. Knowing that the other party is in a very dangerous situation, or even in a runaway state... if he comes in empty-handed, what's the difference between him and a reckless man who is seeking his death?
Although, holding a sword in the negotiation does not seem to be sincere.

“How enviable…”

The man smiled again, but the smile on his face was a little stiff, and under the dim blue light, it even looked a little creepy.

As he spoke, he stood up, supporting himself with his hands on his knees, and his movements were as slow as an old man walking unsteadily.

"Not everyone is like you, and not everyone can have a happy ending after traveling back in time."

"You know, the fate of my ability. I can see your bright future, a perfect closed-loop fate, a child of destiny... If a story were to happen between you and me, you would definitely be the protagonist, and I would be the villain who violated my own justice."

"..."

Xia Li was somewhat surprised that the other party could still remain rational and say so much.

He stood up shakily, and Xia Li stared into the other's eyes. There was something creepy about those smiling eyes. The pitch-black pupils spread around like ink, almost completely swallowing up the whites of his eyes.

Xia Li tightened his grip on the sword, his intuition telling him that something dangerous was about to happen.

"So, I think... you are lucky. And I am the epitome of your unfortunate possibility."

The man had a hunched back. Although he was almost the same age and height as Xia Li, he looked very old when he hunched over, as if every step he took was very difficult for him.

He took a slow step back.

Seeing this, Xia Li followed his footsteps and took a step forward.

For a swordsman, maintaining a sufficient distance can give him a greater advantage.

"If you are the epitome of my 'misfortune'," Xia Li paused and continued, "I would hope that someone would extend a hand to me at this moment."

The man looked at Xia Li, smiled but said nothing, as if waiting for Xia Li to continue speaking.

Xia Li could feel a dangerous aura spreading.

I could faintly hear the sound of metal rubbing against the ground, above my head, behind me, to my left and right...

It seems to be surrounded by something.

Xia Li stood where she was, her gaze still fixed on the man with a smile in his eyes.

As a fellow hero, Xia Li could fully sympathize with his situation.

After going through untold hardships to save the world, and finding the only happy ending among countless possibilities, I was unable to give myself a decent ending.

Just like what the other party said before.

He saved many people, but he couldn't save himself.

Xia Li took a deep breath. The sharp sound coming from behind his head completely sounded the alert in his heart. He remained unmoved and stared at the man in front of him who was of the same age as him.

"I don't know what happened to you, but I can stop what's going to happen to you..."

"I don't have the ability to change the past like you do. Nor do I have the ability to change the future like the superpowered stray cat at home."

“The only thing I can change is the present moment.”

"boom--!!"

As Xia Li finished speaking, a huge iron chain emerged from the ground. Xia Li turned sideways abruptly.

The chain hit nothing, then quickly changed direction in mid-air and hit him on the head.

Xia Li swept the Demon-Exorcising Sword out, and the blue sword light and the dark black chain collided with each other, producing a sharp and piercing metallic sound.

"Qiang!!"

In just a moment, the chain was like a giant python with life consciousness. Seeing that its power was no match for Xia Li, it used its length to wrap around the Demon-Repelling Sword in Xia Li's hand.

The tip of the sword, the blade, the back of the hand, the arm...

Xia Li's right hand was instantly swallowed up by the chain and locked tightly to the Demon-Repelling Sword.

"..."

Xia Li frowned. When he got close to it, he realized that this thing was not just a product of magic...

It is a real chain, its body is made of metal iron, but it is controlled by magic.

As for what kind of chain it is...

Xia Li suddenly remembered that he was on a low bridge.

There are usually fences on both sides of a low bridge to prevent pedestrians from accidentally falling off.

Some fences are carved from stone pillars, while others are made of two stakes connected in the middle by three thick iron chains...

The chain that attacked Xia Li was obviously the fence on the bridge!
This person is using local materials!

"Haha, what a beautiful word..."

The man stood there with a very happy expression on his face.

He looked at Xia Li. Even though they were looking at each other at eye level, he felt as if he was looking up at Xia Li from above. The words that came out of his mouth sounded more like a declaration of victory.

There are also differences between heroes.

This 'author' is obviously much weaker than him...

With just this ability, he can become a hero on the continent of Aze. This shows how weak the enemies in the other world are.

What a lucky guy.

Even the world I traveled through was so lucky.

Unlike the Zela continent he traveled through, the world he landed in was ruled by demons. Every road was a dead end, and he experienced death tens of thousands of times!

"You've never died, right? What a pity. I think only death can ..."

"One solution."

Just as he was about to say something more, Qin Chuan realized that in order to make people feel real pain, it cannot be just physical.

Physical pain is not pain. In comparison, only the blow to the soul is real pain.

He wanted to let the 'author' feel this kind of pain as well.

Say at least a few more words to make the other person waver, and then break those ridiculous, tough eyes.

However, this 'author' seems to have even less patience than he does.

In just a moment, Qin Chuan felt that he had lost contact with the chain wrapped around the "author".

The magic is broken, and I don't know why.

Just from the feeling, it felt like the magic link had been severed by some mysterious force.

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously took two steps back.

He controlled the chains again, this time there were five chains, wrapping around Xia Li from all directions.

Xia Li felt the subtle friction sound between the metals.

Normally his senses were not so sharp. When he was a hero on the continent of Aize, his biggest shortcoming was his body's lack of sense of danger reaction due to living in the greenhouse of the earth for a long time.

But in this black fog, thanks to the silence here, Xia Li's reaction to sounds became quite sharp.

He took a step forward and half-crouched.

Front, back, left, right... five iron chains were stabbing at him.

If we rely solely on the cutting power of the Demon-Repelling Sword to fight against these chains, it would probably be difficult.

After all, Xia Li now has almost no magic power, and he can't make the blade sharp enough to cut through the metal.

But...the things to be cut don't necessarily have to be metal.

Rather, magic.

"Second solution!"

As communication with the Demon-Exorcist Sword was established, the sword understood its master's wishes and the seal was lifted once again.

The second seal was released and the power was released again.

The light of the Demon-Repelling Sword became brighter, and the light tone of the sword was now infinitely close to white light.

"boom!"

The five chains lost power instantly and fell straight to the ground.

The man standing in front of Xia Li with an attitude of watching a show finally wavered.

"…What is your ability?"

At least, Qin Chuan had never seen this special ability before.

He can go back in time after death, change the past, and realize any one of the countless possibilities...

This is his ability.

In Qin Chuan's opinion, his abilities are already special enough.

But the 'author' in front of him seemed to have even stranger abilities.

"Change the present? What kind of ability is it to change the present?"

Qin Chuan recalled what he had just said.

This sentence was like an lingering question, echoing in Qin Chuan's mind and forming countless guesses.

Finally, those confused emotions were once again replaced by the grief and indignation in the chest.

Qin Chuan's eyes focused, and dozens of chains twisting like pythons stabbed towards Xia Li.

Xia Li leaped up suddenly, and the two chains that were attacking him from the ground lost their target and collided and entangled with each other.

Xia Li held the hilt of the sword and gathered strength, and the seal was lifted again.

"Three solutions... Four solutions..."

There is no need to touch the chains with the Demon-Exorcist Sword; this time it can even cut off the magic power from several meters away.

The sword energy flew out, and the faded white light had turned into a faint golden light. The moment the sword energy touched the chain, the chain lost its buoyancy and fell to the ground.

"Wait, how many solutions do you have in total?"

Qin Chuan took half a step back.

It was much more difficult than he had imagined.

His abilities were weakened a lot on Earth. Being able to shatter the Heart of Stone and bring about this kind of space collapse was already his limit.

In his view, the 'author' who came into his space was a lamb to be slaughtered.

Under the premise that the other party's abilities are also restricted by the Earth, it is impossible for the other party to be as strong as oneself.

However, Qin Chuan guessed wrong in one aspect...

The ability of this 'author' is extremely abnormal!
"you guess?"

Xia Li looked up, and a relaxed smile finally appeared on his face, which had been solemn for a long time.
