Truly, Gensokyo is worthy of its title as our sacred land. Full HP and MP in just two days, an unending flow—I'm bursting to write about Gensokyo right now, to see my beloved PAD, the shameless NEET Princess, and perhaps drop by and NTR Kurohime’s harem... Alright, speed and plot go full throttle from this moment on, straight aiming for Gensokyo...
The arrival of the Dragon Clan was nothing short of earth-shattering; Li Chen and Tang Jing were instantly struck dumb.
What could it possibly be like when over a thousand giant dragons unleash their draconic might simultaneously? Ordinary people couldn't even begin to imagine, especially when hundreds of them were Rule-level entities. The overwhelming pressure of their combined aura swept over them, nearly suffocating the two men.
At equal power levels and under identical conditions, without considering other external factors, humans could never win a head-on battle against dragons. Whether in physical might or spiritual fortitude, dragons inherently held a significant advantage over humanity—an undeniable fact of the biological hierarchy.
"Damn it, what is going on with these dragons? That person never mentioned this! It wasn't supposed to be like this at all!" Li Chen was utterly horrified. Although only a handful among that massive swarm could truly threaten him one-on-one, a thousand-plus dragons meant a quantitative change leading to a qualitative one. Even facing this sheer number, both he and Tang Jing knew they could only flee.
"Temporary retreat. We absolutely cannot win against this level of combat power." Tang Jing was already showing signs of fear. Dealing with Lin Luo alone was difficult enough; adding this legion of dragons meant certain death for them.
"It's too late to run now; you are already fish in my net." Lin Luo certainly wouldn't allow them to succeed. He had deliberately stalled until this precise moment—the setup for his ultimate move.
He pointed a finger toward the sky, and the Floating Cities moved again. Seven cities spread out in all directions, positioning themselves at eight distinct cardinal and intercardinal points relative to the main city behind him. Then, the eight cities began to rotate rapidly, separated by massive Wind Walls, causing the entire space to feel like a sealed, independent world.
"He’s trying to trap us! Break through!" Tang Jing's expression drastically changed. Those rapidly spinning Wind Walls were capable of tearing apart most cultivators below the Spirit Rank. Once trapped, they would face a combined assault from Lin Luo and over a thousand dragons; the consequences were unthinkable.
"Everyone, attack with full force! Do not give them any chance to breathe!" Lin Luo roared toward the Dragon Clan, and simultaneously, to prevent the duo from breaching the Wind Walls, he rushed to the front of them at maximum speed. In his left hand was the Rule of Life, and in his right, the Reverse Rule—a completely desperate fighting style. At this moment, he held nothing back.
Lin Luo dared to fight desperately, but Tang Jing and Li Chen did not. If they sustained serious injuries, escaping the siege of thousands of dragons would be impossible.
"Hahahaha, I love a good fight! Let me take the lead!" Onyxia, the Dark Dragon, sounded exhilarated. She charged forward, taking the lead, and violently drew a deep breath, opening her maw wide.
Hsssss
It was as if a miniature black hole had opened in her mouth, sucking in countless streams of air. When the critical point was reached, a terrible—
Blazing scarlet flames erupted from her mouth, seemingly intent on incinerating the entire world. The scorching heat had almost reached the absolute limit of fire.
"Deep Breath Black Dragon MM Onyxia?" Seeing this, Lin Luo finally remembered. This loli who adored older men was the Black Dragon MM from WoW who got 'handled' every five days? This is ridiculous! Why is Black Dragon MM now a Guardian of the Dragon Clan?
Besides, there were no Five-Clawed Golden Dragons in the WoW world. Wait, Long Wanxuan said they weren't from the same world; they gathered after their respective worlds were destroyed... Does that mean the WoW world is already annihilated? Damn it, what about the three Windrunner sisters? The three Windrunner lolis? The three Windrunner matrons? The three Windrunner—
Lin Luo's mind was filled with questions, but now was not the time to dwell on them, because... perhaps finally no longer being the one getting pushed around, Black Dragon MM was a little too excited. Her 'Deep Breath' wasn't just targeting Tang Jing and Li Chen; it encompassed Lin Luo too—a full-blown indiscriminate attack.
Seriously, I told you all to attack with full force, but I never said indiscriminate attacks were allowed!
Lin Luo was extremely frustrated. He dared not casually accept Rule-level flames, especially since he was concentrating all his power on dealing with the two enemies, leaving no surplus strength to defend against Black Dragon MM’s fire... Even Rule-level power has its limits.
Shwaa
Just then, a beam of golden light streamed down, completely incinerating all the flames directed at Lin Luo. Simultaneously, more golden light, like a flowing river of stars, surged towards Tang Jing and Li Chen. Under the dual siege of the golden light and the flames, the two were instantly thrown into disarray.
The one who acted was the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
"The others, maintain pressure from outside with your draconic might to intimidate the enemy. The five of us will engage these two head-on," Long Wanxuan stated grimly. These two enemies gave her no room for complacency. Although their side held an overwhelming advantage, the opponents were still powerful beings of the same rank as her. If the enemies fought to the death, their side would suffer heavy casualties. The Dragon Clan was small in number; minimizing losses in battle was essential.
"And Little Sister, control your attacks carefully. Don't hit your own people." As she spoke, she issued a warning to Black Dragon MM.
"Got it," Black Dragon MM grumbled slightly, clearly dissatisfied.
She had already accidentally hit someone earlier... Lin Luo grumbled internally. But speaking of which, when did Black Dragon MM become Rule-level? Was it growth achieved after the world's destruction?
Onyxia's strength was comparable to Evangeline's—a hundred percent Rule-level power. Except she lacked immortality, her pure offensive output was slightly stronger than Evangeline's because her magic required no incantation; just one Deep Breath, and Rule-level flames roared forth.
After Long Wanxuan’s stern admonishment, her control indeed improved significantly, and the indiscriminate attacks ceased... This made Lin Luo strongly suspect her first attempt might have been deliberate.
The Four-Clawed White Dragon was slightly stronger than Black Dragon MM. Unlike Onyxia, the White Dragon immediately transformed into human form upon entering combat. She shifted from a hundred-meter dragon into a heroic beauty clad in silver armor, wielding a bright silver spear. Her gaze was sharp, and every thrust of her spear carried an invisible Rule force, named... Infallible Strike.
This absolute certainty of hitting its mark caused Tang Jing and Li Chen immense headaches, as the White Dragon's attacks were utterly impossible to defend against; they could only counter with stronger power, rendering all defenses useless.
The White Dragon's human transformation caught Lin Luo's eye. The last time she took human form, she wasn't wearing this armor. Aside from being beautiful, it hadn't seemed particularly noteworthy, but now, observing her, she possessed the very presence of a commanding general.
Lin Luo's gaze drifted unintentionally to her silver spear, engraved with the characters "Dragon Gallantry" (Long Dan)... Well, a dragon girl version of Zhao Yun from Changshan.
Similar to the Four-Clawed White Dragon, the Void Shadow Dragon also took human form upon entering the fight. However, contrary to the White Dragon, her battle attire in human form was a suit of assassin wear, black as ink. Her eyes were cold, she wielded sharp claws, and a long scarf fluttered from her neck.
Her attacks were not as forthright or imposing as the White Dragon’s. She flitted through space like a shadow, her speed nearly surpassing Lin Luo's instant movement, truly living up to the saying: a divine dragon shows its head but never its tail.
Instant strike, instant retreat, one hit to kill, one hit to withdraw—perfect, the dragon girl version of the cold-night assassin Jiuyin Chidie.
Such unpredictable and utterly bizarre attacks were essentially the bane of Tang Jing and Li Chen. If it were a one-on-one fight, perhaps it wouldn't matter much, but this wasn't a duel. Their attacks constantly failed to connect, while the enemies' strikes forced them into a frantic scramble.
Lin Luo, the Four-Clawed White Dragon, and the Void Shadow Dragon alone had already suppressed the pair. Beside them, Black Dragon MM’s Deep Breath never ceased, suppressing the bulk of their offensive output and timing her cover perfectly.
What truly drove Tang Jing and Li Chen to despair were the weight-class heavy hitters above: the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and the three Golden Dragons. The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was undoubtedly at the peak of the Spirit Rank, and the three Golden Dragons were barely a hair's breadth behind. These three dragons remained in their true forms, and the sheer pressure of their unmatched draconic might was a massive spiritual burden.
One unleashed a sky full of golden light, like a waterfall pouring from the galaxy; the other unleashed Draconic Magic, like the end of the world.
Three dragons attacking from range, three attacking up close. Powerful flames combined with bewildering and unpredictable strikes—forget resistance, they didn't even have a chance to flee.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it..." Tang Jing cursed inwardly. This intensity of coordinated assault had completely surpassed their capabilities. They couldn't even use the Heart Codex to escape this world, because the moment they paused to summon the Starlight Avenue, the enemy's attacks would tear them to shreds.
Naturally, it was precisely to stop them from using the Starlight Avenue that Lin Luo had gone to such elaborate lengths.
Summoning the Starlight Avenue required two essential conditions. First, the summoner must be unencumbered; if the user’s hands were held, or if they were actively engaged in combat, the Starlight Avenue could not be summoned. Second, the seven-character true incantation for materialization had to be recited; without materializing the Heart Codex, the Starlight Avenue could not be summoned either.
Currently, Tang Jing and Li Chen were trapped in an awkward state where they wanted to summon the power but lacked the means to do so.
No matter how fast the materialization process was, it still required time—perhaps one second, perhaps half a second. But half a second was more than enough time for the combatants here to kill them several times over.
"Now! Focus fire!" Lin Luo suddenly roared, channeling both Rules with his life force for the most ferocious assault.
Having already been severely weakened by the "abuse" in the Main Hall and the strikes from the Floating Cities, Tang Jing and Li Chen’s strength had been largely depleted by Lin Luo. Now, after holding out against the siege of five dragons and one person for so long, they were practically at their limit. This was the best opportunity to annihilate them, and Lin Luo would never allow them a chance to exceed that limit.
The sky filled with golden dragons and Draconic Magic threatened their lives, forcing the pair to resist with all their might. When roaring pillars of flame shot in from the side and were blocked again, the two instantly felt as if their bodies were filled with lead, moving with agonizing slowness.
Almost simultaneously, a silver-white spear pierced Li Chen’s heart, and a scarlet claw raked across Tang Jing’s throat, spraying blood everywhere.
Finally, the Devouring Black Flame began its merciless burn.
