The ground where Spencer fell cratered violently under Chen Feng's impact. The flailing Pterodactyl, battered by the successive bombardments, was on the brink of death.
Discarding the dying Pterodactyl, Chen Feng stepped into the pit, staring at Spencer, whose body was impaled in the earth and gasping for breath. He grabbed the man's head and hauled him out!
"You... you're not human! You're... a devil!" Spencer managed to croak out.
Anyone witnessing a man wield a twenty-foot-long Pterodactyl like a weapon, swinging it back and forth, would have their psychological defenses shatter.
"I am the devil!" Chen Feng retorted. "You wanted to kill me? But I won't give you the chance!"
Holding nothing back, he drove his left fist forward with renewed force, punching straight through the man's skull. Blood mixed with brain matter streamed onto the ground. Spencer was dead, utterly and irrevocably, without even a gasp escaping his lips.
"Vice Commander..." the Pterodactyl Knights cried out in unison, leaping toward the scene!
They had stood by earlier because their Vice Commander had agreed to a duel, respecting the spirit of knighthood by not intervening while he suffered. Now, seeing him mortally wounded and Chen Feng showing no mercy in delivering the killing blow, their fury erupted!
Moreover, to watch their leader executed while nineteen Pterodactyl Knights observed, any further tolerance would render the Pterodactyl Knights a joke!
As these Dragon Riders moved, the Pterodactyls in the valley on one side also lifted their heads, spread their wings, and soared toward the conflict.
"This is bad!" Austin exclaimed as soon as he saw Chen Feng kill Spencer.
Spencer was their leader. Now that he was butchered, only the enemy's full-blown rage awaited them!
Even without the Ice Rock Battle Wolves attacking, nineteen Pterodactyl Knights stood no chance against Chen Feng's current power. And now...
"Retreat quickly!" Austin commanded decisively!
The enemy's first target would undoubtedly be that brat. If their group could just pull back toward the valley exit and escape into the forest, they might survive!
His order was swift, and the others reacted quickly. However, before they could reach the valley mouth, shadows were already pouring in frantically from outside. In an instant, the entire valley was swarming with Ice Rock Dire Wolves!
Seeing the Ice Rock Battle Wolves flood in, Austin and his companions pressed themselves against the valley walls, too terrified to move.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng moved like a phantom, weaving between the Dragon Riders. Anyone he touched immediately burst into flames, collapsing with agonizing screams!
The fallen Dragon Riders were instantly swarmed by the surging Ice Rock Battle Wolves and torn to shreds!
"Ah..." "Ah..."
Several screams pierced the air. In less than a minute, ten Dragon Riders lay dead, their blood splattering the scene!
A valley that had known nothing but peace instantly became a living hell.
Austin watched the carnage, his calves trembling uncontrollably. Even with his steadfast will and strategic mind, the sight of such atrocity forced him to retch.
It was a one-sided massacre!
The Pterodactyls in the air, seeing their masters slain, raged. Magic rained down from the sky as if it were free. Chen Feng darted and weaved through the gaps in the magical onslaught, narrowly dodging spell after spell. If the immense shock Chen Feng had inflicted upon the Pterodactyls earlier hadn't instilled a deep-seated dread, how could he possibly evade the combined magical barrage of nineteen Pterodactyls!
The Ice Rock Battle Wolves, however, were not so fortunate. Under the constant magic attacks, more than a dozen were quickly cut down.
Pterodactyls and Ice Rock Battle Wolves both belonged to the third tier. Logically, it shouldn't be easy for the Pterodactyls to kill the wolves. But the enraged descendants of the dragons utilized their immense aerial advantage, bombarding them relentlessly with powerful magic! Sometimes, the spells from four or five Pterodactyls would strike a single wolf simultaneously—how could that wolf survive!
"Awooo!"
The White Wolf King let out a piercing howl, stirring the Ice Rock Battle Wolf pack into a frenzy! Dozens of wolves leaped up, lunging toward the aerial Pterodactyls, only to be batted down by incoming magic before they could get close!
In an instant, another dozen wolves perished.
Chen Feng watched the corpses of the Ice Rock Battle Wolves fall from the sky, his heart tightening with urgency. He suddenly shifted his feet, flashing to the perimeter where the remaining Dragon Riders were encircled. The Pterodactyls hesitated in their attacks, offering a brief respite. At that precise moment, Chen Feng roared, and his slender body, propelled by a vortex of air, shot violently into the sky, unleashing the unique Dragon Might inherent in his Blazing Dragon Bloodline without restraint!
This maneuver was incredibly fast, timed perfectly to the momentary pause in the Pterodactyls' spell-casting. Thus, Chen Feng, airborne, evaded every spell and materialized abruptly beside one Pterodactyl!
What followed was an unbelievable sight for those below.
Chen Feng moved in the air like lightning, using the Pterodactyls' bodies as springboards, transforming into a blur of motion. Wherever his foot tapped a Pterodactyl, the massive airborne creature would plummet straight to the ground, trembling and unable to rise again.
"Bang, bang, bang... faster updates k.cn..." In less than a minute, every flying Pterodactyl had crashed to the earth!
The fallen creatures landed haphazardly. One even crushed its own master—an eighth-tier Dragon Rider—beneath it! This unfortunate rider, preoccupied with defending against the wolf pack, was struck without warning, collapsing with blood streaming from all seven orifices—clearly beyond saving.
The remaining Dragon Riders looked upon the scene with utter despair. The opponent's power far exceeded their imagination! What had happened to the Pterodactyls they had fought alongside for years?
"Boss!" Xiao Hu leaped into the air, catching Chen Feng as he kicked away the last Pterodactyl, landing softly on the ground!
"What about these Pterodactyls?" Xiao Hu asked, gesturing toward the prone, trembling group of winged beasts.
Chen Feng was about to order them all executed when a thought struck him. Since the Pterodactyls feared the Dragon Might within him, why not compel them to submit and increase his own forces?
Thus, he declared, "Kill all the Dragon Riders. Keep the Pterodactyls for now!"
The wolves had been waiting for these words. The few Dragon Riders who had already lost the will to fight were no match for the pack. In under three minutes, the battle concluded, leaving behind a gruesome tableau of mangled limbs, blood, and brains smeared together.
Austin and the others turned deathly pale, nearly fainting.
As an imperial prince and his guards, they considered themselves seasoned, yet this level of brutal slaughter instilled in them a debilitating fear!
Especially Chen Feng's cold indifference to life; this seemingly frail youth was the direct architect of this horrific scene.
The youth observed the carnage, watched the Ice Rock Battle Wolves devour the torn remains of the Dragon Riders, yet his brow did not even furrow!
Though the weather wasn't cold, an internal chill caused them to shiver. Would this youth, if provoked further, slaughter them all? Their gazes toward Chen Feng were now filled with terror and awe!
Of course, Chen Feng was oblivious to their internal terror. His only concern was how to subjugate this flock of Pterodactyls!
He retrieved the shovel he had dropped earlier and slung it onto his back. Riding Xiao Hu, he approached the Pterodactyl cluster and released the Dragon Might of his Blazing Dragon Bloodline without reservation!
A powerful pressure spread out, sweeping over everything. The nineteen Pterodactyls lay still, too terrified to move (Spencer's mount had already been shredded by the frenzied Ice Rock Battle Wolves during the melee).
If Chen Feng hadn't intentionally shielded Xiao Hu while releasing his power, even the wolf might have collapsed under the strain.
Suddenly, one Pterodactyl wobbled and stood up among the group. Chen Feng glanced at it, recognizing it as the one belonging to 'The Maniac'—the very first creature subjected to his Dragon Might.
The Pterodactyl let out a low growl, murmuring indistinctly from its massive head. In moments, a purplish-red mist, three or four meters wide and long, formed above its head, radiating a palpable sense of immense power.
"What is this..."
Chen Feng was momentarily astonished. What was happening? Had these Pterodactyls already adapted to the Blazing Dragon Might flowing within him, losing their fear, and now seeking vengeance for their fallen comrades?
