Dragon Gate Swordsman

The giant insect's blood is a dark grey rotten fluid, but this bright red mark... is a little hard to believe. She doesn't understand what Chongxiao has done.

Could it be that the power he burst out at this moment was due to his "sacrifice" of himself?

"Listen to me, Chongxiao...you must restrain your power, otherwise you will suffer the consequences..."

Still no response.

Chongxiao was bathed in light, his body wrapped in blazing lightning, and his eyes were constantly emitting spiritual energy like searchlights.

Ling suddenly recalled his explanation of this power... The transformation into thunder and fire is actually not surprising. After all, these two phenomena are the most intuitive forms of energy, and there are many similar situations in telekinesis in Originium techniques.

The only two things that Ling was concerned about were the ability to forge a weapon of the same level as the Xuanyuan Sword out of thin air, and the ability to sense other people's emotions.

Sensing other people’s emotions…

Could it be because of the situation in Yumen City?

Considering that Chongxiao's performance in the previous battle was completely different from his usual self, Ling felt that he might have discovered the most critical problem.

"It's... okay now, Chongxiao."

She continued to walk forward and tentatively extended her hand, "Your...guardian will soon be victorious, and Yumen will be safe."

The moment his fingertips touched the lightning, Ling felt a shock in his heart, as if even the deepest secrets of his soul were completely seen through by some existence. The experience and mentality accumulated over thousands of years were shattered in an instant, just like... Although this description is not pleasant to the ear, even if Ling is familiar with the beautiful poems and verses exchanged between Dayan and Gu Jin, he can't find a more appropriate one.

Fish on the table.

There was no ability to resist, and even no possibility of concealment. Everything about himself was exposed, and he was held in the hands of an incomprehensible and powerful being.

But this is exactly Ling's purpose... If spiritual power can really sense other people's emotions as Chongxiao said, then she, who has completely opened her heart and even her soul at this moment, will definitely be able to make Chongxiao feel that peace and tenderness, so that he will no longer be tortured by the fear and despair that permeates Yumen.

But, have I completely given my heart to you?

Suddenly, Chongxiao moved.

The eyes that were still emitting spiritual energy were slightly raised, as if looking at an order, or as if looking at the fighting that was gradually stopping in the distance.

Faced with the fully-powered Demonic Flame Black Dragon, the giant insect, which had just awakened and had spent a long time fighting with Ling Xi, could no longer hold on and wanted to duck and escape.

But how could the murderous black dragon let it go?

The powerful dragon claws tore the bony wings apart, and the swinging dragon tail crushed the worm's belly into mud. The two pairs of sickle limbs were also burned to ashes by the black magic flame... and now, the black dragon's bloody mouth had bitten the giant worm's neck fiercely, and amid the splash of countless corrupt substances, it tore off its castle-like huge head.

Although the border guards who were still in danger were busy with rescue operations, those who saw this scene still cheered for surviving the disaster.

No one knew what the black dragon would do next, but everyone knew that it killed the terrible bug.

Finally, Ling felt his body lighten, and the light and lightning around him paused for a moment, and then began to slowly dissipate.

Chongxiao also closed his eyes, and when he stopped releasing his spiritual energy, his suspended body fell down without any warning... If Ming hadn't been quick-eyed and quick-handed and rushed forward to catch him, he would have been beaten black and blue and couldn't escape.

The only embarrassing thing is that this guy is not wearing any clothes at this time, which means he is qualified to say "I have seen all kinds of scenes", and he just had a telepathic connection and was unable to react in time.

With a wave of her jade hand, Shi Xiangsuzhen's magical power was immediately activated, and a long gown with a strong ancient style was put on Chongxiao. Then he was hugged by Ling's upper body and fell into the ruins of the city wall.

The height difference made their movements more or less funny, yet somewhat ambiguous... At least when the beam of light dissipated and Xi hurried over, what he saw was a scene with a rather weird atmosphere.

But fortunately, Xi has never been a gossipy person.

"Sister Ling, Chongxiao..."

"It should be fine."

With both hands gently supporting his head resting on his legs, Ling smiled and said, "He will definitely get better."

Your sister... seems a little different?

Xi was very keenly aware that something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was going on.

At this moment, another violent vibration came, which reminded the two of them of the battle in the distance.

The winner has been decided... The giant insect, which was almost torn into pieces, lay on the ground. Apart from the occasional twitching of certain parts, there was no sign of life. The victorious black dragon was stepping on its corpse with its front paws and roaring towards the sky, resounding through the heavens and the earth.

If there was not still some distance, the sound caused by the dragon's roar alone would be enough to cause Yumen to suffer another devastation.

The two Tianxuan-class battleships that had just sailed out of the land port to support Ling and Xi had already returned when the land was destroyed and were carrying out rescue work, so they also escaped the disaster.

Then, the black dragon changed direction and walked towards Yumen...

"Sister Xi, take Chongxiao to the hospital, and by the way, tell General Zuo that this... giant beast is no enemy of Yumen."

"What about you, sister?"

"I need to talk to it."

Xi was silent for a moment, then stepped forward, hugged Chongxiao, and jumped away from the ruins of the city wall.

The other one waved Wen Meng, which had reappeared in his hand, and summoned a staircase made of sand and dust outside the city wall, just like the road to heaven in ancient legends.

Black Dragon obviously saw Ling's intention, and stopped before and after the stairs and squatted down...

I have to say, Ling almost fell off the stairs when he saw this scene, because the Black Dragon's posture was too similar to those of its fellow creatures at a certain intersection of time and space, so that the domineering majesty when killing the giant insect instantly turned into a well-behaved and silly feeling... even a silly and cute feeling.

"The fact that Yumen was able to escape this disaster today is all thanks to Chongxiao and you, sir... the entire Great Yan will never forget this favor."

Not yet, that time.

The Black Dragon's method of communication was very strange, like consciousness echoing directly in the mind, without sound or hallucinations.

"Excuse me... sir, what is the 'time' you are talking about?"

His injuries were too severe to bear, and it would take time to recover his true strength.

“He” refers to Chongxiao?

Since he had just witnessed a strange situation, Ling did not think much about it at this time.

"Indeed, I will write a letter to ask my brother who is good at medicine to come here, please rest assured, sir."

No, don't worry, it's still very dangerous here, you must unite...

Ling was shocked and was about to ask what the danger was that Black Dragon mentioned, but he found that the other party's body had begun to decompose and dissipate, turning into wisps of black flames, which became smaller and smaller until they completely disappeared from his sight.

Isn't it the real body? Or is it not a real life?

Standing at the top of the dusty stairs, looking at the giant insect corpse that had completely lost its breath and was gradually turning into decay, he was speechless for a long time.

Forget it, there are still too many things in Yumen that need me.

She turned around and prepared to return to Yumen to assist the border guards, but accidentally glanced at the position where Chongxiao had just been floating.

The pillar of light that went straight to the sky was still vivid in her mind, and even a young girl like her felt her mind wavering... She knew that this should be the real power that Black Dragon mentioned, the power that Chongxiao could not bear.

Who are you, Chongxiao...

With this thought in mind, Ling couldn't help but look up, intending to see the sky pierced by the beam of light.

As a result, when I took a look, I immediately discovered an extremely strange situation!

At some point, some strange things appeared in the distant sky, like some kind of lines... They were not very obvious, but one could barely make out that they were huge regular hexagons, and they were flashing imperceptibly at a certain frequency.

Ling frowned.

She was quite confident in her eyesight. If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't be able to see what was happening that far away.

The question is, how could there be something so high in the sky?

Wait, when that beam of light appeared just now, it seemed that it penetrated more than just the sand and clouds?

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of an air explosion in the distant sky, followed by the appearance of smoke of extremely obvious color.

That was the signal for the troops to set out on the expedition. My eldest brother and General Li were back.

Ling let out a light breath, and felt relieved... But looking at the smoke-filled and devastated Yumen City, he felt that the depression in his chest could not be dispelled.

In this battle, countless heroes and innocent souls bid farewell to this land.

But... could there be only one such terrifying creature like this giant insect, which has almost completely surpassed the behemoth?

……

Musbem Mountains, where the Casimir and Victoria spheres of influence meet.

In the war-torn Terra continent, the intersection of two major countries like this is generally not a good place...

Although it is located in the central part of the continent, with open terrain, superior environment, and even rich resources and mineral deposits, the Duke Victoria Maurice who is in charge of managing this land is an out-and-out villain. Taking advantage of Casimir's long-term war with Ursus, he often makes some small moves here.

When the changes in Londinium and the collapse of the Victorian royal family completely lost their deterrent power over the dukes, the knights of Casimir dared not take this place lightly anymore.

However, the development of reality is often more bizarre than that of literary works: Duke Maurice had no development awareness of "building high walls, storing up food, and slowly becoming king", but instead impatiently led his troops to Londinium to fight for control, and naturally was easily defeated.

Casimir's knights were not as warlike as Ursus. In order to avoid provoking the other dukes of Victoria, they did not go deep into this area.

For more than ten years, no mobile city has come to the foot of Mount Musbem, so most of the villages and towns have moved to other places.

Therefore, no one noticed that this volcano, which had been dormant for countless years, erupted without any warning.

Adele's parents are both experienced volcano explorers and scientists. If they happened to be here at this time, they would definitely find that the eruption of Musbem volcano was completely unreasonable... Fiery flames and magma gushed out from various parts of the mountain, but there was not much volcanic ash ejected into the sky.

Overall, it looks more like a powerful explosion inside rather than an outflow of material and energy from the bottom of the volcano.

A large amount of magma quickly flooded the ground at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, due to mineral reasons, there was no particularly dense vegetation in a large area nearby, otherwise it would be difficult to predict how much damage this wildfire would cause.

What's even more strange is that this volcanic eruption came without any warning and ended very suddenly... The violently erupting magma seemed to lose its "staying power" in an instant, and could only gradually cool down and stop while flowing slowly.

After a short period of time, they will become the new foot of the mountain.

But even so, the people of this land dare not approach natural disasters... no matter how short they are, so the fact that this volcanic eruption occurred in an uninhabited area is actually something to be thankful for.

However, it was not without witnesses.

When everything gradually calmed down, a figure appeared on the "isolated island" surrounded by hot magma.

A figure that doesn't fit in with the surrounding environment.

Her bright red long hair was casually draped behind her head, slightly messy, giving her a natural beauty. She was not very tall but had a very well-proportioned figure, but she was wearing an old and tattered black light armor, as if she had just returned from the battlefield.

The long black horns on both sides of her head proved the girl's identity as a Sarkaz, but her beautiful and delicate face was more similar to Filin, and so was her fair skin...but for some reason, the girl's lavender eyes were full of confusion.

In addition, the most noticeable thing is the big sword stuck in the rock next to the girl.

This weapon seemed to be made of obsidian and had a strange shape. The structure that should have been the guard was moved to the bottom of the hilt. It looked more like an anchor with straightened sides than a cross, with something like a ruby ​​embedded in it.

"Who is that voice...calling me?"

She whispered to herself.

There was no other person here, and perhaps not even another living thing, but the girl's eyes gradually became clear, as if she had found some target.

Then she grabbed the big sword beside her and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

"I will find you..."

(Volume 3: The bloody battle at Yumen ends)

Chapter 112: One year has passed, and Lady Qiu Bai returns

"Sir, I wonder what you are planning to do in Yumen?"

"To take up my post."

"This... I admire you."

"Admiration? Where do I start?"

"Sir, I'm afraid you don't know that Yumen... just experienced a catastrophe last year. It is said that there were no less than 10,000 deaths and countless injuries. If it weren't for the urgent dispatch of General Huo Ying's Yicong and the Xiliang Fleet of Yinyang City for support, I'm afraid Yumen would no longer exist..."

"...Hasn't Yumen's military affairs always been kept extremely secret?"
