Long Zhan slowly turned his head and stared at the corpses of his kin, those who were still fighting a bloody battle, refusing to retreat even when they only had a shred of strength left. A trace of unforgettable pain flashed through his eyes, a pain that almost tore his heart apart. But in an instant, this pain was replaced by firm belief.
“Even if you can’t survive, you still have to survive!”
He said in a deep voice, weak and hoarse due to excessive blood loss, but containing an undeniable firmness that shook the heavens and the earth, “The Dragon Emperor is still in the city, he has not yet come out of his seclusion. He is the hope of our Heavenly Dragon Clan, the hope of the Cloud Immortal City.”
As long as he is alive, we cannot retreat. Even if we fight to the last man, even if we shed our last drop of blood, we will defend this place until the Dragon Emperor comes out of his seclusion!
Staring at the clan leader’s determined eyes, the Heavenly Dragon Clan elder felt hot tears well up in his eyes, mixing with dragon blood as they flowed down his cheeks. He nodded firmly, his voice resounding, “Yes! Clan leader, we will survive! Even if we are torn into pieces, we will never retreat!”
After saying that, he turned around, spread his tattered dragon wings, and once again charged into battle without hesitation, fighting with the temple cultivators. He was immediately surrounded by several temple experts, and his figure was swallowed by golden light.
Outside the secret room of the City Lord’s residence in Yunxian City, a similar scene of massacre occurred.
Ming Li gripped the ghost sword tightly. The pitch black divine weapon was already stained with blood. His hands were shaking slightly, not because of fear, but because of the fierce battle that had lasted for an hour. His mind was under extreme pressure, and his physical and spiritual strength were almost at the limit.
Before him lay the corpses of three temple disciples, who were the temple’s vanguard trying to break through the barrier and enter the secret room of the city lord’s residence. They were killed by him, Chen Wanqing, Liu Qianqian, and Yun Yao in a joint effort.
However, this victory was achieved at a heavy price.
On Ming Li’s left arm, there was a deep wound that exposed the bone, stretching from his shoulder to his wrist, the flesh was split outwards, and blood dripped continuously, staining his robe red.
Every time he swung the demon sword, the wound would hurt a lot, but he still gritted his teeth and endured, guarding the door to the secret room.
Liu Qianqian’s face was ashen, blood kept flowing from the corners of her mouth, and her spiritual energy was completely chaotic. He leaned against the cold wall, his body was very weak, even standing was very difficult, but he still held the magic weapon in his hand and looked forward vigilantly.
Yun Yao was already exhausted and collapsed on the cold ground. His legs were weak and his entire body was helpless, but his hands were still tightly gripping the long sword in his hands. His eyes were firm, and even though he could no longer fight, he was unwilling to take a single step back.
Chen Wanqing stood in front of the four people, her pure white dress that was already stained with blood turned into a shocking blood red outfit, red and white mixed together, a terrifying scene.
His swordsmanship was unrivaled. In this defensive battle, he single-handedly blocked most of the attacks and finished off several of the temple’s experts. However, at this time, his aura was also chaotic, his spiritual power was exhausted, he was covered in sweat, his hair was messy sticking to his cheeks, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He had clearly reached his limits.
Just then, several powerful auras quickly approached from the sky, heading straight for the City Lord’s Residence.
Chen Wanqing looked up with difficulty, and when she saw the newcomer’s cultivation level, a glimmer of despair flashed across her eyes.
The newcomers were five peak-level experts from the Divine Palace, each of them possessing extremely powerful auras, far surpassing the auras of the previous vanguard disciples.
Given his current extremely exhausted state, he was only able to hold back two people at most. The remaining three people were more than enough to easily finish off the four and break through the secret room’s barrier.
“It looks like we’re really going to die here today.”
He muttered to himself, his voice soft, yet filled with endless relief and pain, a sad smile crooked on his lips.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed on the tightly closed stone door of the secret room behind him, his eyes filled with anticipation and reluctance.
David, did you know?
We are all waiting for you, the people of the Heavenly Dragon Clan are waiting for you, we are all doing our best to buy you time.
Get out quickly
“finish off!”
Five peak-level Immortal Realm experts from the Divine Palace shouted simultaneously, their bodies filled with golden light. They joined forces to release several powerful spells, their dazzling light carrying destructive power, as they shot towards Chen Wanqing, Ming Li, and the other three, intending to remove the obstacles in one strike and rush into the secret room to capture David alive.
