Dragon Gate Swordsman

"I don't think it's a behemoth, at least not the behemoth you know."

Chongxiao's sudden seriousness made Ling's pupils shrink, and she opened her mouth but couldn't speak for a moment, until she was half-supported and half-carried back to the ground.

The violent vibrations were coming in a relatively regular pattern, which were obviously the impact caused by the terrifying monster moving forward on the ground. However, in his current state, it was probably impossible to catch up with it.

"Chongxiao, why do you say that?"

"It's complicated. If I have to say... that's probably my intuition."

Psionically based intuition.

Nian, Ling, Qing, Xi, Chongyue, Chongxiao already knows five people of different ages, and they are not just people he has met once.

The feeling that the giant monster just now gave him was completely different from that of the descendants... He even had a vague sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen a similar creature somewhere a long time ago.

Of course he knew that he couldn't say such things, but at least he could confirm that the thing was different from the "giant beast" that was circulating on this land.

"We...have to go back as soon as possible."

He clenched his hands tightly around Wen Meng, trying to force himself to stay standing.

The consumption of the head-on confrontation with the giant monster just now was secondary. The main thing was that his own magical powers were defeated head-on in the most direct way. This backlash was no trivial matter.

But that being said, even if the vehicles or dune buggies brought by the scouts were still there, it would take more than an hour to get back...

Ling knew very well that Xi and the border guards alone could not hold out for such a long time.

However, at this moment, a flash of inspiration came into Chongxiao's mind!

If you can't catch up from the ground, why not try...

The familiar feeling surged up from the bottom of his heart again, and Chongxiao took a step forward and put his hand on Ling's shoulder.

"I... have an idea, but I'm not sure."

He looked into Ling's eyes seriously, "Do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe it. Besides... there is no other way."

"OK then."

Chongxiao took a deep breath and then began to mobilize the remaining spiritual energy in his body.

Although she had seen it many times, this was her first time to come into close contact with psychic energy... Watching the flame and lightning-like power gradually enveloping her, she was surprised to find that she not only did not feel any discomfort, but on the contrary, this power seemed to alleviate her consumption and backlash, and even made her body more...

Could it be that Chongxiao can use this power to strengthen other people?

The moment this thought came to his mind, a loud dragon roar suddenly sounded in his ears.

Immediately afterwards, Chongxiao's figure gradually disappeared, and her body was wrapped in some kind of warm energy and rose into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Ling, who was in the middle of it, didn't know that at this moment, she was like being carried by a flying dragon made of energy, flying towards Yumen...

The fourth of the Nine Taixu Styles is Transformation into a Dragon.

Chapter 109: Life and Death, Blood-stained Sand

When the sentry on the city wall tower saw the rolling giant sandstorm through the telescope, he thought it was the most common natural disaster in the desert that had occurred again.

Yumen has stood here for decades and is already familiar with how to deal with this kind of natural disaster. All they need to do is activate the linked guide plates on the city wall and let the heavenly masters who are responsible for guiding the formation "take office" to keep Yumen City safe.

Therefore, the sentries did not immediately issue the highest martial law alert.

Until they discovered that this sandstorm seemed unusual... Its shape was a little strange, and it was not driven by strong winds or the flow of abnormal Originium energy. A terrifying huge figure was faintly revealed in it.

When the giant insect's body emerged from the yellow sand and "stood up" several kilometers away, almost all the sentinels were completely stunned.

The huge body, which is more than twice as tall as the Yumen city wall, can give off a despairing sense of oppression even if it just stands there motionless... not to mention the bony wings extending from its back and its hideous and terrifying appearance, like a nightmare monster.

No one would believe that this was a harmless creature just passing by.

Even Zuo Xuanliao, who arrived at the city wall for the first time, felt his hands and feet getting cold and he could hardly suppress the trembling that arose spontaneously.

Is this... a giant beast?

But why does it look more dangerous than the legendary beast?

At this moment, Zuo Xuanliao's vigilance and rejection of Chongyue, Ling and others were all shattered.

In front of such a horrifying creature, do humans’ thoughts...really matter?

"General! General, we..."

"Prepare to initiate the emergency navigation procedure immediately. Have the people in the government office organize the evacuation as soon as possible. All soldiers on standby should assemble now. Also... go and ask Huazhong..."

"No need, I'm already here."

A wave of inky ripples suddenly appeared in the air, and then Xi walked out quickly, holding his usual Shanshui sword upside down in his hand, and a fierce fighting spirit emanated from his body.

Although she still had a calm expression, the suspicion in her eyes was obvious... In Xi's eyes, the giant creature that was eyeing Yumen City was not much different from its complete form.

In other words, there is no chance of winning by yourself, at best you can just delay for a while.

But in such a short time, can my elder brother and your elder sister arrive in time?

Xi didn’t know... She only knew that since she was called by her sister to help defend Yumen, she should keep her promise, fulfill her duties and protect the city.

"You can't fight this thing with your strength. I'll try to attract its attention, and you guys have to help me contain its actions... Remember, don't get too close to it, or I'll be powerless."

"Then I'll leave it to the fairy in the painting!"

In the critical moment, Zuo Xuanliao's performance was worthy of the commander of Yumen.

Xi turned the Shanshui Sword around and took a rare deep breath.

She had never fought against giant insects before and had no idea of ​​the enemy's strengths. One could imagine the burden she had to bear as the main force of defense. However, the lives of more than 200,000 people in Yumen City were now in her hands.

"The other world... go out!"

The landscape sword pointed toward the sky, releasing all the power that Jiang Xi had accumulated in the world of painting, transforming it into giant pillars of ink.

At the same time, the mountains, rivers, rocks, green bamboos, snow plums, black goblins and other objects in the painting world began to be projected outside Yumen City... Looking from the city wall, it was as if another world was merging with the desert.

This is the result of Xi pushing her magical powers to the extreme, and it is also the state in which she gives her all.

The fairyland of painting world.

The sky seemed to have changed color. The sun, which was emitting dazzling but not warm light, was blocked by endless ink clouds. The creatures that descended from the world in the painting seemed to have life and began to attack the giant insect that was slowly approaching.

The first were two mountains over a hundred feet high. They appeared above the giant insect and fell directly down with the force of a mountain, hitting the target's head and one of its bone wings hard.

However, this force that even the moving city could not bear only forced the giant insect to "bend its waist", and then it roared and swung its huge sickle limbs, completely chopping the mountains into pieces in a few strokes.

During this period, Yumen City's long-range firepower also began to show its power. The crossbows aimed at the giant insect's eyes and body patterns. The heavenly masters in the spell tower also activated their Originium skills and began to bombard... The Feiyu Battalion and the Armored Battalion were also transferring their strongest weapons to this side of the city wall.

Zuo Xuanliao was asking the armorer who had arrived urgently to prepare to activate Yumen’s core weapon, which it would not easily use.

After dealing with the mountain that fell from the sky, the giant insect aimed at Yumen and opened its mouthparts, ready to release its breath of decay, but the Painting World Fairyland did not give it this opportunity at all.

The gurgling stream that could be depicted with just a few strokes turned into a majestic wave when it descended into reality. It submerged the giant insect's lower body with countless limbs while it was dealing with the mountains, and then released a pressure channel comparable to that of the deep sea, instantly crushing many limbs.

The giant insect roared and smashed down its sickle limbs. There were a few loud "bangs" and powerful shock waves quickly spread out, "shattering" the flow of the waves.

Yumen also trembled, and countless people fell to the ground...

"it turns out……"

Xi, who was standing in the air, gritted his teeth and commanded the creatures in the painting world to rush towards the giant insect.

The mountain of astonishing size went straight forward and backward, and its attack method was basically the same as the Fantian Seal; the water flow, which could not gain any advantage in a head-on fight, "switched" into a swamp-like form, trapping the giant insect in place; countless pines, bamboos, snow plums, and various plants grew rapidly, trying to control the joints of the giant insect's sickle limbs.

In addition to these "still lifes", a large number of dragon-shaped beasts "Zizai" also appeared in the fairyland, and their target was the long lower body of the giant insect.

Xi knew that he couldn't fight this monster alone, so he chose to use the painting world to perform entanglement tactics to hold out until Chongyue or one of them came back.

Just like He Jinyin interrupted Master Shuiliu...

But compared to the power of the giant insect, the "free" ones are really insignificant.

Soon, the large swamp with it as the center dried up in an instant and turned into dry and rotten gray matter... Countless rotten beasts that looked like a cross between a mantis and a scorpion stood up from it and raised their claws and tail stingers towards the "Free" army.

"Qi Yun!"

"The general is here!"

"The armored battalion will move out immediately and keep a distance to destroy those monsters."

"Yes!"

Zuo Xuanliao on the city wall opened his eyes wide and once again refused his adjutant's request to leave.

A general does not necessarily have to lead the troops, but if he can only sit in the rear, no matter how sophisticated his strategies are, he will not be able to inspire the soldiers to fight with the strongest will.

This was taught to him by Li Wuan after he came to Yumen.

On the battlefield a few kilometers away from the city wall, the most brutal battle has begun: the "Freedom" summoned by Xi is fighting with the army of rotten beasts created by the giant insects, and the scene is full of blood and flesh flying and broken limbs everywhere.

The rot beast itself does not seem to have the ability to cause matter to decay and corrupt, but its body of nearly ten meters brings extremely terrifying power, which firmly suppresses the "freedom" whose number is far less than that of the beast.

But "freedom" also has an obvious advantage, which is the assistance of the painting world and fairyland.

Countless long green branches broke out of the ground, growing and spreading rapidly, curbing the movements of the rot beasts. The clouds in the sky also began to drop clear icy rain. The coldness seemed to contain some kind of purifying effect, causing the rot beasts to collapse and melt one after another on the spot.

Just like that, relying on the magical power of the Fairyland of the Painting World, Xi single-handedly stopped the giant insect in place.

At the same time, the Yumen Border Guards began to dispatch troops at the fastest speed. The armored battalion and several land ships anchored inside it all entered the emergency startup procedure... They only needed a few minutes.

The question is, can Xi really hold on for so long?

The answer is obvious…

The giant insect, which had been smashed continuously by the mountains of the painting world, fell into a state of anger. After sweeping across and smashing two ink-and-wash peaks that fell from the sky, it suddenly opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a tremendous amount of corrupt energy towards Xi who was standing in the air.

It is not difficult to dodge, especially for Xi, who only needs to temporarily return to the world in the painting. After all, this terrible giant insect does not have the ability to invade an independent world.

But don’t forget, behind Xi is Yumen City.

Therefore, she could only not dodge or evade, and condensed the power of the painting world fairyland in front of her to form a colorful barrier.

The first direct confrontation since the battle began finally occurred.

Amidst a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the corrupt energy overwhelmed Xi's defenses... The colorful protective barrier collapsed after just a few seconds, forcing her to hold up the Shanshui Sword and use her body to block this wave of attacks.

In an instant, Xi felt the horror of this power.

The long, smooth black hair began to turn dry gray, the skin on the hands that were clenching the Shanshui Sword slowly began to crack, and even the sash fluttering behind her and the violently fluttering skirt hem showed signs of dissolving.

The creatures in the Painting World Fairyland were all overflowing with inky blue water... That was their "blood", and also the proof that their vitality was rapidly fading.

It is obvious that if this continues, Xi will most likely die on the spot soon.

Fortunately, at this moment, a dragon roar that resounded through the heavens and earth suddenly erupted from the ink-colored clouds that blocked the sun. Immediately afterwards, a figure surrounded by thunder and fire fell from the sky like a meteor!

It was Chongxiao who gathered the spiritual energy on the rebellious greatsword!

With a loud "bang", the violent spiritual energy poured into the back of the giant insect's head along with the rebellious impact, and then blasted off large chunks of its shell.

On the other side, a shadow suddenly flashed in front of Xi... It was a mountain range that was far more majestic and massive than the mountains in the Painting World Fairyland, which firmly blocked the giant insect's corrupt power.

White clouds, lonely city and ten thousand feet mountain.

"Little sister!"

Ling's anxious voice rang in Xi's ears, causing her to finally relax and she almost dropped the Shanshui Sword.

"Sister Ling, I..."

"Don't talk yet, concentrate your mind, and don't let this force take advantage of you."

Ling, who was falling from a high altitude, held the staggering Xi with one hand and waved his other hand quickly to ask Meng.

The whisk grows green, the snow reveals the tender catkins... Suddenly, green plant buds emerge from the lifeless sand, and grow into towering trees in a very short time, providing a perfect place for the two to stay.

Looking at Xi, whose eyes were somewhat dazed, whose clothes were half-dressed and whose hair was torn, Ling felt his anger grow even stronger.

But she knew very well that the current opponent could not be defeated by anger. If her eldest brother could not return in time...

At this moment, an almost insane shout was heard.

Chongxiao! ?

She looked up and saw that Chongxiao, who had fallen on the back of the giant insect's neck, had almost become a lightning rod nailed on it. The lightning that occasionally struck from the sky was all concentrated on that spot, blasting the shell and the internal tissues it covered into pieces.
