Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Shenlongjia is Surrounded (3rd Update)
Xiaolongnü held the bronze sword and muttered to herself:
"This sword’s surface is carved with so many weird runes. This intense killing aura must come from these weird runes. But how could humans possess such powerful weapons?"
Xiaolongnü glanced at Yang Xiao lying on the ground in the distance and said:
"I had promised not to kill you and just snatch the sword from your hands, but you had to be clever and fierce, forcing me to use my killing move. You brought this unto yourself; you can’t blame me."
Xiaolongnü looked at the bronze sword in her hand again and said:
"Although this sword is incredibly sharp and surging with killing aura, it’s only suitable for close combat and meaningless to me. Since I broke my promise and killed you, I will leave this sword with you as your burial object."
Xiaolongnü tossed the bronze sword, sticking it into the ground next to Yang Xiao.
Xiaolongnü’s figure flashed, transforming into a giant dragon, she flew into the sky, then dived into the lake.
The valley returned to tranquility.
Yang Xiao didn’t know how much time had passed when he slowly woke up, feeling a severe headache and a chill throughout his body. He opened his eyes and saw the stars in the sky.
"What happened to me?"
Yang Xiao slowly recollected, remembering his duel with Xiaolongnü, attacking her with the Bronze Divine Sword, then Xiaolongnü transformed into a giant dragon and spewed a frost mist at him, after which he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
"Am I dead now?"
Yang Xiao startled, staring at the stars above.
"Should I be dead? Isn’t hell as depicted in legends full of darkness? It’s now night, is this the reappearance of my soul?"
He also knew that surviving the attack of the Frost Giant Dragon was impossible, so he first thought of death.
It’s hard to judge one’s situation when the mind is befuddled.
However, he then heard some insects chirping in the valley and the distant howling of wild beasts.
"This doesn’t seem right, am I in the valleys of Shenlongjia? Could it be that I’m not dead?"
Yang Xiao’s body slowly started feeling more aware, and he hesitatingly lifted his hand and pinched his body.
It felt somewhat painful; this must mean I am alive, right?
Yang Xiao felt cold all over, trembling constantly as the chill left by the Frost Giant Dragon’s attack lingered in his body.
It took Yang Xiao several more minutes to finally determine he was still alive.
"Being alive is good!"
Upon seeing hope, a warm current began to recover in Yang Xiao’s heart.
With difficulty, he took out a small bottle from his backpack, poured out two Small Blood Pills, and placed them into his mouth.
After the Small Blood Pills entered his mouth, a warm flow immediately entered his body, starting to gradually dispel the internal chill.
However, the chill from the Frost Giant Dragon was so severe that the two Small Blood Pills only managed to disperse some of the chill before they lost effect.
Startled, Yang Xiao poured a handful of Small Blood Pills into his mouth.
This time, a powerful warm flow entered his body, tenaciously dispelling the internal chill; wherever the warmth reached, the chill inside his body was cleaned out completely.
After continuously consuming two handfuls of Small Blood Pills, finally the internal chill was completely dispelled. Yang Xiao sat up and sighed deeply.
Damn, that was too severe; I almost died.
What excited him was the faint glow emitted by the Bronze Divine Sword nearby.
This sword was incredibly important to him.
Yang Xiao placed the Bronze Divine Sword into his Space Ring and glanced at the vast lake in the distance.
"Damn, I can’t mess with that dragon, better make a quick escape tonight."
Yang Xiao looked towards the distance, chose a direction, and began to stealthily move through the forest. Only after he covered several hundred meters did he dare to speed up and use Qinggong to run. Several kilometers later, Yang Xiao leaped up, using the Divine Mountain Snow Qinggong to lightly touch the tree branches and fly tens of meters away, continuously moving from point to point under the cover of night, heading towards a distant mountain peak.
After Yang Xiao vanished into the night, there was a light splash on the surface of the lake, as the Giant Dragon peeked half of its head out, watching the direction Yang Xiao ran, then submerged back into the water.
Yang Xiao continued to fly for several dozen minutes until he reached the base of the mountain.
The mountain was high but sloped, so Yang Xiao used his Qinggong to ascend continuously. After dozens of ascends, he finally reached the summit of the mountain.
This was where Yang Xiao had been staying these past few days.
Yang Xiao sighed deeply,
"My goodness, I finally escaped from certain death!"
Sitting on a giant rock at the summit, he took out some food he carried and started eating, wondering why there was a dragon here?
Where did this dragon come from? It couldn’t possibly be a local dragon from Shenlongjia, could it?
Legends say dragons come from the seas, could this Silver Giant Dragon also be from the sea? And, it’s just a young dragon, but where are its parents?
These past days, Yang Xiao had been observing the habits of the Silver Giant Dragon from the mountaintop, seemingly not noticing any other dragons. If there were other dragons in the lake, they surely would have played with the young dragon. And after such a long fight with the Young Lady Dragon, with dragons’ keen senses, if there were any other dragons in the water, they would have emerged by now.
Yang Xiao, looking at the lake from the night sky, thought a lot, and finally concluded:
This dragon must not be provoked for the time being!
Yang Xiao then took a sleeping bag out of the Space Ring and dove into it, falling into a deep sleep.
...
As Monk Ben Yin escaped the valley on a Giant Eagle, he heard Yang Xiao’s scream and turned back to see only Yang Xiao’s figure plummeting.
Neither Monk Ben Yin nor the Giant Eagle were a match for the Giant Dragon, and could only endure the pain and quickly flee the valley; otherwise, Yang Xiao intercepting the Giant Dragon would have been meaningless.
The Giant Eagle, carrying Monk Ben Yin, flew for over an hour and arrived at the Genetic Store outpost at the entrance of the Shenlongjia Scenic Area.
By this time, a few kilometers around the Genetic Store had already been surrounded by the Han Capital City King, Lu Sun, with ten thousand guards.
Since the Giant Eagle flew out from within the mountains of Shenlongjia, if it had flown from the outskirts, it would have encountered interception by Lu Sun’s team from Han Capital City.
Lu Sun, along with Zuo Yun and Cai Yang from Xiangfan City and ten thousand elite troops, came to assault Shenlongjia.
According to Gong Yu’s arrangement, Dai Peng led three thousand elites directly from Fengyang Town via the Transmission Array to Shenlongjia’s base, joining forces with Gong Yu’s three thousand elites to withstand the attack from Lu Sun and others.
Relying on their numerical superiority, Lu Sun and his forces launched several rounds of attacks, but under the fierce resistance of Gong Yu, Lan Xin, Xiao Lan, Ben Guo, and others, Lu Sun’s multiple attacks didn’t achieve much; both sides suffered similar casualties.
At this moment, it was the third day of Lu Sun besieging Gong Yu.
"Hey, everyone look, boss Yang Xiao is back, that’s his Giant Eagle."
Everyone looked up into the sky and cheered immediately.
In everyone’s minds, Yang Xiao’s arrival would surely bring a miracle.
