It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Lid was about to thank Lord Lingwu, but Lord Lingwu said hurriedly:

"Get up and get ready to go."

Lid didn't react for a moment:

"The evening is over? So fast?"

The Lingwu Lord pointed behind him and replied:

"See for yourself."

Lid turned over and sat up, looking in the direction pointed by the Lingwu Lord, only to find that the eyewall had begun to move towards this side at some point, and the storm was advancing towards this side at a speed visible to the naked eye. This meant that the sandstorm had begun to move, and the position of the eye of the storm was constantly changing. If he could not set off immediately, he would be swallowed up by the storm belt at the eyewall in a short time.

To be precise, this is not a journey, but an escape.

The eye of the storm was not moving very fast, but with such a danger constantly approaching, it was hard to rest at ease. Lid felt very awake after a good sleep, and the Lingwu Lord also looked in good spirits. When Lid got up, she had already opened the fire barrier around the two of them again, and walked forward with Lid, and soon left the eye of the storm.

Lid added a layer of his own on the outside of the Lingwu Lord's flame as usual. Although the woman did not appreciate it, she still kept the fire burning vigorously. After stepping out of the quiet eye of the storm, the crackling sandstorm came up again. Lid exhaled and asked casually:

"Have you rested yet?"

Lingwu Lord replied coldly:

"Not yet, let's leave here first."

Reed stroked his chin and sighed softly.

He felt that he began to understand the Lingwu Lord a little bit. This woman put all the burdens on him, in large part because she didn't trust anyone. Lid could even imagine that the top leaders of Lingwu were basically guys with strong execution ability. Whether it was internal affairs, economy or military supervision, it was probably the Lingwu Lord who laid out the plan and they were responsible for the specific implementation.

In situations like the one just now, the two of them should have taken turns keeping watch, but Lingwu Lord couldn't accept that there was a man beside her who was awake when she lost consciousness, so she chose to stay awake the whole time. Now thinking about the few nights when Lid helped her heal her injuries, she probably went through it this way.

Being a queen is not easy.

After passing through the eye wall where the storm was at its worst, Lid put away the flames of the Black Flame Armor and began to fan himself with his hands wearing the Black Flame Armor. He was once again choking from the heat. Looking at the Lingwu Lord, his black hair stuck to his face, his chest heaving, and he was also trying to breathe steadily.

The intensity of the sandstorm dropped again, but Reed did not dare to relax at all.

He estimated that he and the Lingwu Lord would be out of the sandstorm in the morning. But this did not mean that they had entered a safe zone, but that they had reached a deeper darkness and would face more unpredictable dangers.

20. Dragons are born in the North Sea

The two of them spent a long night in a quiet atmosphere.

When they were close to the edge of the sandstorm, the environment outside became much brighter. It was dark before, but now there was a little light. But the light was red, which looked abnormal. Lingwu Lord and Lid did not dare to slack off and focused on sensing the surrounding situation.

"Five hundred meters to the edge of the sandstorm."

Lord Lingwu said this suddenly, and his pace slowed down slightly.

Lid nodded and asked:

"Can you sense any danger ahead?"

Lingwu Lord pondered for a moment, and a circle of soft flames spread out from the flame barrier, passing through the sandstorm and drifting farther away. After a moment, Lingwu Lord said:

"I can't feel it. It's like a dark quagmire."

Lid exhaled lightly and silently clenched the black flame armor. Before asking this question, he had already explored it himself, and the conclusion he got was similar to that of the Lingwu Lord. The energy used for exploration was released but could not be taken back, like a drop in the ocean. I am afraid that only by passing through this sandstorm can I use my own eyes to confirm what is ahead.

As they approached the edge of the sandstorm, Lord Lingwu calmly reported the final distance.

"Two hundred meters."

"One hundred meters."

"Fifty meters."

"Ten meters...there we are!"

The sandstorm disappeared at that moment.

Instead, a bloody mouth appeared in front of the two. The distance between the upper and lower jaws was more than 30 meters. The slightly yellowed sharp teeth in the mouth could be seen, and the throat was as dark as a tunnel. The moment Lid and Lingwu stepped out of the sandstorm, a ball of fire lit up in the huge mouth in front of them, and it was obvious that energy beyond scale was accumulating there.

That adds up to less than half a second of reaction time.

The Lingwu Lord's first reaction was to raise his hand and turn the flames into a shield to block in front of him.

Reed's first reaction was to fly out and press the Lingwu Lord directly under him.

They had just met each other, without giving the two people any time to think or communicate, when a red flame cannon shot out and almost immediately burned a big hole in the fire shield hastily made by the Lingwu Lord as soon as it came into contact. The thick flame flew past Reed's hair, and the heat directly burned a charred patch on his back.

When the flames dissipated, Lid and Lord Lingwu looked back and saw that the sandstorm they had just passed by was blasted with a gap several kilometers long by the flames, and the black gravel was directly burned into black water on the ground.

Cold sweat dripped down Lid's face, and he realized that he was holding the most beautiful woman in the world, but he had no time to enjoy the feeling of being in his arms. Lid got up in a hurry and pulled up the Lingwu Lord who had just reacted.

Looking further ahead, the huge mouth slowly closed, revealing the monster's true appearance.

Lid's expression was between surprise and vigilance, and his hands wearing the black flame armor clenched involuntarily:

"Hey, hey...are you kidding me? Are there still dragons in this place?"

To be precise, the dragon that appeared here was not the flying dragon that Lid had seen in the capital, but was closer to the dragon he knew. Its long body was entrenched in this vast space, and the walls and the ground in the distance were burning with strange red flames, which illuminated the place and made the entire space look like an abyss of hell.

However, like the living organ, this dragon was already dead, its body had already begun to decay, and in some places, you could even see the dragon bones. Perhaps because this dragon was more powerful when it was alive, the degree of decay was far less than that of the previous living organ, and places such as the dragon's whiskers and claws were even smoother and looked like new.

"【South Sea Flood Dragon】...To be precise, it should belong to the fish-man tribe."

Lord Lingwu stared at the huge monster in front of him with cold eyes.

When she said that, Lid also remembered that he seemed to have seen records about this kind of dragon in some books that recorded local customs and practices. They lived on the bottom of the South China Sea, which was the sea area south of the Yunhai Territory. The books classified it as a member of the fish-men who also lived in the South China Sea. But it seemed that among the fish-men, the dragon was also a rare and noble existence like a holy spirit. It was rare in number but extremely powerful.

"What the hell is this southern dragon doing in the northern seabed? A southern dragon transferred to the north?"

Lide complained, but the scene before him didn't allow him to think too much. The dragon in front of him turned its body and swept its tail across. Lide and the Lingwu Lord each dodged in different directions, only feeling the strong wind on their faces. Being whipped by such a monster would either kill them or cripple them.

After landing, Lid shouted to the Lingwu Lord:

"Zhao Zhao! Can you handle this thing?"

There were several golden flames floating around the Lingwu Lord, but Lid could clearly see that she was a little afraid to use them. When facing living organs before, the Lingwu Lord could quickly evacuate after igniting the living organs, because the range of activity and destructive power of the living organs were limited, and there was no other way to go except to be burned to death. This experience of pretending to be cool and then running away was very exciting.

But now it was no longer possible. The sandstorm behind the two of them had not recovered for a long time after being blown up by the flames just now, and there was an empty area in all directions. If the dragon was ignited, it would be blasted into ashes by the enraged dragon before it could run a few steps. Considering this, the Lingwu Lord did not use her almost omnipotent golden flame at the first time, but calmly observed and analyzed the situation in front of her.

"Find the magic crystal, destroy it, and it will be quiet."

Lord Lingwu simply replied.

This sentence is correct nonsense in Lid's opinion. Everyone knows that breaking the magic crystal can solve the problem, but the question is how to do it?

It would be more reliable to sneak past when the dragon is not paying attention.

The dragon smashed the ground with one claw, and flames flew in the air.

Lid dodged the dragon's attack while thinking about a solution. This process lasted for about two minutes. The dragon gradually became manic and released two more breaths, each of which was destructive. The ground was already broken and although Lid and the Lingwu Lord were not injured, it was not a solution to keep playing hide-and-seek.

The Lingwu Lord landed lightly on the ground, narrowed his eyes, and said to Lid as if he had made up his mind:

"Cooperate with me."

That woman...is it so hard to say the word "help"?

Lid jumped to avoid the dragon's dive, and after rolling a few times, he arrived beside the Lingwu Lord. He stood up with a somersault and asked:

"What? Just make it clear in advance, I'm not trying to be bait."

Lingwu Lord said lightly:

"Buy me some time."

She looked at the dragon in front of her, and sword energy suddenly appeared around her body. She said in a cold voice:

"Since there's no way around it, just kill it."

21. Use fire as a sword to kill a dragon

"Buying time... Even if I say that, aren't I still going to be the bait?"

Reed complained that there was no difference between the two expressions of Lingwu Lord in the current situation.

Maybe the Lingwu Lord has some way to defeat this thing, but the prerequisite is that Lid must first attract firepower. This is a very dangerous move for Lid. While attracting hatred, he must also pay attention to his own safety. It is definitely not as easy as saying it.

Lingwu Lord said coldly:

"After that, you can choose any material from the dragon."

Lid immediately hit his chest with his fist and said:

"I understand. Let's go and sacrifice our hearts to fight against the alien race!"

Although Lingwu Lord didn't understand what Lid was saying, she was relieved when she saw him rushing forward resolutely. She began to focus on what she was going to do. She raised her hand and held it in the air. A line of fire extended from her hand to the sky. She had used this move before when she killed the Weeping Night Sandworm, but this time it was much more powerful than the last time, so much so that Lid, who had jumped forward, turned his head back and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The golden flames were boiling on the ground, and the flames within a radius of hundreds of meters were rising upwards like tiny fireflies. The essence behind this was that the sword energy of the Lingwu Lord had somehow surged several levels, so when she used the sword to control the fire, the posture of the flame was naturally very different from before.

The dragon was obviously aware of this problem. Even though its brain was not working well, it at least retained a basic sense of danger.

So it immediately opened its mouth wide and accumulated a strong breath towards where the Lingwu Lord was.

But before the breath could be released this time, Lid's heavy fist had already hit its face. The dragon's breath naturally lost its accuracy and exploded on the stone wall in the distance, burning the air to boiling heat. A faint black flame appeared on the black flame armor, burning a dark scorch mark on the dragon's face, but it was difficult to cause further damage.

This punch successfully diverted the dragon's attention away from the Lingwu Lord, and it instead slapped Reed's head with one claw.

Although he had enough time to dodge, considering that he was helping the Spiritual Martial Lord to attract firepower, Lid had to ensure that he was always in the dragon's field of vision, or could always cause effective damage to it. So he ignited the flames of the black flame armor, mobilized the strength around him, and punched out, confronting the dragon head-on.

This punch directly burned the dragon's rotten flesh, leaving only the claws and dragon bones, and the wind from the punch made the dragon's bones crackle. The two sides were deadlocked for about three seconds, and finally Lid was hit back. The dragon immediately swung out its tail and hit Lid hard.

Home run.

Although he had anticipated the danger, he had no time to respond. Lid raised his arms to block the dragon's tail swing, and his whole body was immediately blown away. His arms could not withstand such a huge force and lost consciousness in an instant, and his skin, flesh and nerves were probably severely damaged.

Even though he knew he was seriously injured, Reed still calculated his landing point, adjusted his posture before hitting the stone wall, stepped on the stone wall with both feet, rushed back, and kicked the dragon's horn.

The dragon was just about to release its second breath towards Lord Lingwu when it was suddenly kicked on the top of its head, causing its head to sink. This time, the breath exploded directly on the ground less than fifty meters away from Lord Lingwu. The scorching flames burned a deep pit in the earth, and the hot wind blew up Lord Lingwu's clothes and hair.

She stood still, not knowing whether it was because of her trust in Lid or because she was completely focused on mobilizing the complex sword energy.

Lid spat a mouthful of blood on the dragon's head, and his arms gradually regained consciousness, but with great pain. He raised his hand, and when the dragon was about to sacrifice itself and crash into the Lingwu Lord, he broke off half of the dragon's horn with a single force.

The dragon immediately began to struggle violently.

Lid's entire arm was bleeding, but he had a smile on his face, as if he was coaxing a baby who would never grow up, and said to the dragon:

"Yes, let's make a noise like this. The more noise the better."

Lid raised his fist high and punched the dragon on the head.

The flames from the black flame armor were like a black sun, shining above the dragon's head. Lide held the dragon's horn with one hand and kept hitting its head with the other. This was the dragon's blind spot, and Lide was not polite. After dozens of punches, he could hear the sound of bones breaking in his ears. He didn't know whether it was Lide's own finger bones or the dragon's skull, or both.

The dragon's roar became more and more intense, filled with countless anger and unwillingness.

If the Lingwu Lord hadn't stopped him, Lid felt that he would have continued hammering until the dead dragon's head was smashed into pieces. However, Lid's reason told him that this kind of living mechanism would still be alive and kicking even without a head, and it might even release breath from its neck, which would be a very strange scene.

Less than half a minute had passed since Lingwu Lord asked Lid to help pull the dragon away, but Lid felt that this time seemed extremely long. Finally, he waited for Lingwu Lord to shout:

"Get out of the way!"

Reed kicked the remaining horn of the dragon and jumped down from a high place like a diver.

Before he landed on the ground, there was already a flash of explosion behind him, and the ensuing heat wave blew him away!

Lid turned his head and was almost instantly cut by the frenzied sword energy in the air. He raised his eyebrows and immediately realized the source of this sword energy. When Qingyun died, he gave half of his sword energy to Alaiya. The great swordsman Garberd must have done the same to the Lingwu Lord. And the Lingwu Lord was able to make the most of this unexpected fortune than Alaiya. This extremely sharp sword energy cut down on the head in the form of flames. The sword energy and flames crisscrossed the dead body of the dragon, breaking its scales, burning its rotten flesh, cutting into its lungs, and finally cutting a magic crystal the size of a human head buried in its body into two pieces.

The dragon's roar echoed here for a long time, but its body could not escape the fate of falling.

When Lid landed, he looked at the Lingwu Lord who was surrounded by sword energy, and there was an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

He was trying to figure out if he could kill the Lingwu Lord at the most critical moment. After all, the woman in front of him was no different from the tenth-level warrior except that she had not suffered the heavenly tribulation. It was clear that the sword energy was taught by Garberd himself, and the one who was once recognized as the best in the world might be even more difficult to deal with than Qingyun back then.

22. It’s my exclusive moment

The tension in Lid's eyes naturally could not be hidden from the Lingwu Lord, and she was also silently looking at Lid.

Reed's plan was to act together with Lord Lingwu in the early stages, and then turn against her at the last minute to prevent Lord Lingwu from getting what she wanted most, and to prevent her power from over-expanding and affecting the future direction of the situation.

Lord Lingwu knew this very well from the very beginning.

Perhaps 99% of the upper class people in the world looked down on this upstart who started in Yuxi City, secretly cursing him for being a fool hiding behind a woman and eating gigolo meals, but the Lingwu Lord would not. She had the ambition to look down on the world, but she would not despise any new force, so she prepared in advance and sent Xiluo to suppress Yuxi City. So when she was heading north, she mobilized the elite of the Anbu to cooperate with the commander-in-chief of the Hidden Guard to assassinate Lid, just because she was afraid that he would be beyond her control, but now the situation is still very different from what she had planned.

So now, Lord Lingwu still remains highly vigilant against Lid.

Lord Lingwu would think over and over in his mind what he wanted to do and when he wanted to do it.

Even if he hid his true purpose behind his lecherous eyes and clean and bright smile, even if he tried to distract her with some physical contact and verbal flirting that she had never experienced before, the Spiritual Martial Lord would not slack off. When Lid looked at her with the eyes of a prey, the Spiritual Martial Lord was more certain of his judgment.
