Whoosh… Whoosh…
After successfully accomplishing his goals, Yang Ling turned to leave, darting through the field like a bullet leaving a barrel. In order to avoid inciting the suspicions of the Horned Dragons, Yang Ling intentionally led them around the lake a few times. As he brought them into the radius of the ambush, he slowed down from time to time, sometimes even turning around to slash at the Horned Dragons. The Horned Dragons became even more infuriated, charging toward him manically without care.
The Horned Dragon King and Fairy Dragon were highly experienced and had been cautious at the start, afraid that Yang Ling was plotting something. However, after following Yang Ling around the lake a few times, they slowly let their guard down and instructed the many Horned Dragons to spread out in an attempt to surround Yang Ling. The rest of the Horned Dragons in the area joined the twenty Divine-level Horned Dragons, baring their fangs as they roared loudly.
Several hundred Horned Dragons acted in unison, spreading aggressively around the lake. Yang Ling flitted from side to side, avoiding them like a light boat on the water. The Magical Beasts by the side of the lake quickly fell into a panic as the Horned Dragons thundered toward them. Some of them were paralyzed with fear and crushed alive, while others fled aimlessly and were still torn to shreds by the impatient dragons…
It was a huge mess!
In order to avoid the carnage, many of the Magical Beasts left quickly. Even the powerful Twin-headed Chimeras soon fled. They extended their wings and took to the skies, quickly disappearing into the horizon. Yang Ling had provoked the Horned Dragons into a complete frenzy, and even the powerful Divine-level Magical Beasts were unwilling to stay in the area!
“I can’t even pick up some eggs in peace these days. What a failure!” Seeing that the time was about right, Yang Ling shook his head, then flew straight toward the valley where his group was lying in ambush in. The thoroughly enraged Horned Dragon King followed in hot pursuit!
Despite throwing all their forces after him, the Horned Dragons hadn’t managed to reclaim their Dragon Eggs. Instead, they had allowed Yang Ling to injure several of them amidst the chaos! Humiliation washed through the tribe of Horned Dragons. Their shame could only be cleansed by Yang Ling’s blood!
Whoosh…
Even though he was holding back, Yang Ling was still immensely fast, and he brought the Horned Dragons rapidly toward the valley. The Fairy Dragon cast the Magic Trapping Space and Earth Gravity techniques multiple times in an attempt to slow Yang Ling down and surround him; unfortunately for the dragons, Yang Ling managed to teleport out using Earth Evasion every time.
“Detestable human, turn and face us if you dare!” roared the Horned Dragon King.
The Horned Dragon King, who was leading the pack, snarled and accelerated once again, pouncing toward Yang Ling at lightning speed. His teeth were bared in rage, and his sharp dragon claws gleamed with cold light. He wanted so desperately to tear Yang Ling to shreds that he was completely oblivious to the fact that the many Horned Dragons had set one foot in their graves!
“Chief Commander, let’s take action!”
“Dig out their divinities and tear off their scales one by one!”
…
Seeing the swarm of enraged Horned Dragons approaching them, the Giant Ape King and Burning Fire Elf King watched with excitement. Their groups were nervous, but also ready to fight.
“Our goal is to severely injure them, then capture them alive. Understand that I will be quite upset if one of you directly digs their divinities out!” The Corpse Wizard King gripped the Death Horn tightly in his hands, forcing himself to be calm as he gave the order, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
The Giant Ape King, Burning Fire Elf King, and the rest of the group were violent and bloodthirsty, but the Corpse Wizard King, as the Chief Commander of the Magical Beast Army, hadn’t forgotten the true goal of this mission. He was looking forward to the addition of these powerful Horned Dragons into the Magical Beast Army!
Yang Ling leaped into the top of a tree, then turned and boomed in a deep voice, “Rodriguez, take action!”
He coldly surveyed the Horned Dragons that were rampaging obliviously after him, then formed a Wizard Seal and cast the Space Bind Wizard Technique. Following that, he quickly activated the restrictions he had set up in advance.
The weather changed in an instant. The entire valley became foggy, covered in a lingering haze. The large-scale Gravity Restriction increased the force of gravity by over a hundred times, and coupled with the terrifying Space Bind, instantly made it difficult for the Horned Dragons to move. The obscure Imprisonment Restriction instantly severed their connection to the outside world, and the layers of Illusory Formations made them unsure of what to do, sending them into chaos!
After advancing to become a mid-level Soul Wizard and receiving a great boost to his Wizard Power and Mental Energy, Yang Ling’s restrictions had become many times stronger! In an instant, the Horned Dragons had stepped into a dire situation!
“Not good, an Ancient Magical Spell Formation!” Looking at the eerie, boundless desert stretching into the distance, the Fairy Dragon Shania turned pale. She realized that they had carelessly stepped into an ambush. As she sensed the obscure ripples of energy in the air, her heart sank further and further.
The rumored large-scale Magical Spell Formations passed down by the ancient Divine Demons had immense power. If someone wasn’t familiar enough with the technique to dispel it, they would be trapped until they died, no matter how powerful they were!
“What should we do?” the Fairy Dragon wondered.
The Horned Dragon King met the Fairy Dragon’s gaze with a grave expression, his heart also sinking. Not only was the detestable egg thief Yang Ling a terrifying Divine-level Summoner, but he was also capable of setting up such a scary Ancient Magical Spell Formation!
The Ancient Magical Spell Formation caught the Horned Dragons off guard. However, the disaster was only beginning for them. They heard a wave of strange hisses, then high-level Horned Bee Beasts started to emerge from within the bushes, high-level spiders tunneled out of the ground, Flying Dragons appeared in the air, baring their fangs… Countless Magical Beasts rose around them, unleashing a torrent of attacks from the protection of the restrictions!
The attacks of the Horned Bee Beasts and spiders didn’t pose much of a threat to the twenty Divine-level Horned Dragons, but the weaker Horned Dragons were vulnerable to the attacks. They became heavily injured and covered in blood in the blink of an eye!
“Charge! Choose a direction and charge out of this place!” The Horned Dragon King clenched his teeth, preparing to lead the Divine-level Horned Dragons in an effort to force their way out. However, he had only taken two steps when something brought him to an abrupt halt!
“Death Ripple!”
Following a violent shout, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air, contorting the space around it as it spread. The ripple shuddered in the air, leaving behind jarring Space Cracks as it quickly enveloped the many Divine-level Horned Dragons.
The Horned Dragons that were snared by the ripple let out loud, pathetic cries, some of them even rolling on the ground and clutching their heads. Their speed and power had already been drastically reduced by the Binding Space, layers of Illusory Formations, and Gravity Restriction, leaving them no time to react. The terrifying Death Ripples of the Corpse Wizard King entered their bodies and directly attacked their souls.
The Horned Dragon King was a High-level Deity, so it was able to shrug off most of the attack. The Fairy Dragon and a few other Horned Dragons were also in a better state, only feeling an intense pain in their heads. The Horned Dragons that were Low or Mid-level Deities were wracked by a pain worse than death, as though their heads were about to explode. They felt as though their skulls had been struck by a heavy hammer, or a sharp butcher’s knife had been plunged into their brains!
“Moon Blade!”
As the formation of the Horned Dragons fell into disarray under the Corpse Wizard King’s assault, Ophilia charged forward, swinging her giant blade to severely injure a Mid-level Deity Horned Dragon. Following that, the Giant Ape King let out a furious roar, smashing his club down on a High-level Deity Horned Dragon that was attempting to retaliate. The Burning Fire Elf King waved his hands and shot out walls of raging flames, instantly separating twenty Horned Dragons so they could be dealt with one by one!
“Hahaha, little bugs, your Chief Commander is here!” The Corpse Wizard King cackled loudly, lifting his Death Horn as he let out bolts of immensely powerful Death Ripples to attack the souls of the many Horned Dragons, each attack more intense than the last!
Death Ripple, Moon Blade, raging flames…
Staying protected by the Binding Space and restrictions, the Corpse Wizard King, Ophilia, and the rest of the group assembled into the Demon God Battle Formation, taking turns to layer on each other’s strength, exploding with alarming battle capabilities. They dealt grievous injuries to the stunned and immobile Divine-level Horned Dragons. The Horned Dragon King tried to protect the Fairy Dragon since she wasn’t adept at close combat, but even he became covered in wounds and blood!
At the same time, under the command of the Evil Eye Tyrant, the Demoness, Flying Dragon King Seylius, and the rest of the group, the Magical Beast Army dominated the Horned Dragons that were below the Divine level. Using the restrictions and their alarming numbers, Yang Ling’s faction had an absolute advantage!
It was a torrential attack, a fierce, one-sided attack!
The Horned Dragons had no way of retaliating! The ancient restrictions had received a huge boost in power, and coupled with the expansive Binding Space, they made the Magical Beast Army much more powerful! If not for the Corpse Wizard King’s timely order, forbidding the army from massacring the Horned Dragons, the valley would have soon been littered with corpses and rivers of blood! In the blink of an eye, the Horned Dragons lost their advantage and found themselves on the brink of extermination!
“Shania, let’s go! I’ll carry you out of here on my back, quick!”
As he looked at the vast illusion, the mass of Magical Beasts, and the Horned Dragons falling around him, the blood-covered Horned Dragon King knew that they had lost. While the Corpse Wizard King, Ophilia, and the rest of the group were busy with the High-level Deity Horned Dragons, the Horned Dragon King took the opportunity to swoop down on Shania and prepare to flee with her!
“Barty, I’m to blame! I was too careless, and I wasn’t able to detect the ambush in time!” Seeing the nearly exterminated Horned Dragons, the Fairy Dragon Shania wept, regretting that she hadn’t killed Yang Ling when she had the chance. Now that they had lost their advantage, there was no longer any meaning in casting the Magic Trapping Space!
“Shania, leave quickly! It’ll be too late if you don’t run now!” shouted the Horned Dragon King. However, just as the Fairy Dragon was about to get on the back of the Horned Dragon King so they could escape, a young man with a head full of black hair suddenly appeared in the air.
“It was easy for you to come in here, but it’ll be hard for you to leave. You two should stay. The game is about to end!” Yang Ling let out a cold smile, extending his hand to draw the Battle Soul Blade on his back.
Buzz…
A clear ringing sound spread through the clouds, accompanied by a blanketing killing intent. A three-inch-wide black blade aura flashed through the air, fast as lightning!
