Chapter 513: Destruction of Dragon City?

Chapter 513: Destruction of Dragon City?

Whoosh!

A black Flood Dragon landed on Dragon Peak.

A metallic-looking scrawny claw reached out and caught the falling golden seal.

“Commander Li...”

The black Flood Dragon looked surprised when it sensed the attribute of the seal.

Ji Ye didn’t tell anyone before about the green Flood Dragon making Dragon City its target.

However, Li Chunfeng, who had been guarding the Frigid Water, had known it all along.

After all, as a dragon-blood creature, the green Flood Dragon was bound to be interested in the True Dragon’s Heritage.

Moreover, the Feng Shui formation centered around Dragon Peak was also set up and guarded by Li Chunfeng himself.

After hearing about the green Flood Dragon, Li Chunfeng made the suggestion about building the Golden Compass and using the Celestial Seismograph to change the Feng Shui of Dragon Peak, as well as using the True Dragon’s Heritage as bait.

Ji Ye agreed because it was a great plan that could enhance Dragon City.

However, Li Chunfeng never mentioned the part about changing destiny, nor did he say anything about activating his talent skill by sacrificing himself. This golden seal was completely unexpected.

But Ji Ye could guess why Li Chunfeng chose to do this.

However, on certain things, ancient and modern people indeed had different mentalities.

...

Schwing!

When Ji Ye caught the golden seal, the green Flood Dragon was once more repelled by the beating of the heart.

This time, it was pushed back for several kilometers.

Boom!

In fighting back the Flood Dragon, the True Dragon Terrain swept its tail across Dragon Peak to create some momentum.

As a result, the dragon’s tail cut off a quarter of the top of Dragon Peak, which no longer had the protection of the Golden Compass.

The green Flood Dragon was severely injured as well.

Its hundred-meter-long body twisted, and many of its bones were broken. A section of its body was almost completely severed, and it had lost three of the four claws. Everywhere it went, blue dragon blood showered down, and basin-sized scales scattered everywhere.

Many players inside Dragon City picked up the scales in surprise.

Because they were all valuable Transcendent-level materials.

“Oh no!”

However, when Elder Meng saw through SkyNet that the green Flood Dragon was severely injured and smashed away, the look on his face changed.

Because, unfortunately, the Flood Dragon was thrown to the north of Dragon City.

It quickly flew backward and smashed into the Black Tortoise that was already trying to hold off the sea that had risen 200m into the air.

Boom!

The loud sound seemed to shake the entire Dragon City area.

The Black Tortoise shook violently before it collapsed.

The Feng Shui formation was breached!

However, it was almost inevitable.

Because the core of the formation was the Feng Shui Dragon Terrain in Dragon Peak.

After Li Chunfeng pulled the True Dragon Terrain out, the formation lost its power source. Although the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise could each form their own formation, the tortoise had been under the pressure of holding off the seawater that had risen to 200m when the green Flood Dragon knocked into it.

Even with its great defensive ability, the Black Tortoise couldn’t withstand the pressure anymore.

Boom!

With the collapse of the Black Tortoise, nothing stood between the sea and the city anymore. The water crushed down like a falling mountain, carrying tens of thousands of sea monsters with it.

Hundreds of the soldiers that had been standing on the Black Tortoise were killed when the green Flood Dragon fell on them.

The rest of them fell to the ground, and some of them were killed by the fall.

Although there were survivors, facing the water that was crushing down from 200m above, they had nowhere to escape.

The amount and the height of the water gave it more than enough momentum to crush a person to death. Although many of the Extraordinary soldiers could withstand the force, the monsters in the sea could still tear them to pieces.

Because many of them weren’t from the navy and didn’t know how to swim.

“Roar!”

At that critical moment, there was a flash of light.

Ji Ye appeared above the panicking Dragon City soldiers in his Flood Dragon form.

He breathed out a mouthful of Dragon Aura, which melted into the sea. The falling water suddenly halted and stopped moving.

“It’s the City Master!”

“Master Ji is back!”

“Master Ji has a Flood Dragon form and can control the seawater. We’re safe!”

Many Dragon City soldiers that had been filled with despair rejoiced.

“Retreat! Fall back to Dragon City and guard the city wall!”

Ji Ye shouted; the Flood Dragon’s voice was as loud as rumbling thunder.

After taking the Flood Dragon form, he could use the True Dragon Bloodline to manipulate seawater, but it was still very difficult to stop so much all at once.

After all, the rising sea was controlled by several thousand mermen.

Members of the music division that had been playing the “King Qin Breaking up the Enemy’s Front” were still in Dragon City and weren’t affected. Although the ordinary combative members had been rendered powerless, the 3,000 soldiers led by “Li Shiming” were still fighting hard to stop the sea monsters.

Had it not been for them, even in the Flood Dragon form, Ji Ye wouldn’t be able to stop thousands of mermen and tens of thousands of sea monsters.

Moreover, he could only work on the north side.

The seawater was rushing toward Dragon City in the other three directions.

Luckily, the city wall was 50m high and was still higher than the sea level.

But it was only a matter of time before the city was flooded.

After all, there was only one black Flood Dragon.

As an intelligent race, the mermen were equally good at fighting.

They could change their formation and have some of their soldiers attack from one of the other three sides.

“Wait...”

However, while Ji Ye was pondering over that possibility, he saw that the mermen did something quite unexpected.

Instead of dividing their forces to attack the city, they fell back and started moving to the north. Some of the Transcendent mermen even gave up attacking the Dragon City soldiers that had fallen into the water.

The mermen quickly moved toward the green Flood Dragon that had been severely wounded by the True Dragon Terrain. After they were close enough, colorful strings soon came out of all the mermen.

The strings entered the green Flood Dragon’s body as if they were living creatures.

While destroying the Feng Shui formation, the green Flood Dragon was gravely injured as well. Nearly all its bones were broken, and it was motionless in the water and unable to evade the strings with manipulative power.

“Are the mermen trying to take advantage of the Flood Dragon’s injury and have it under their control?”

The idea suddenly struck Ji Ye.

The green Flood Dragon was a Transcendent Rank-4 creature.

If the mermen really took control of it, the threat it would have on Dragon City would be dozens of times more than that of the Transcendent Rank-2 Giant Dragon Fish!

The green Flood Dragon could fight in the sea, on land, and in the air. The result would be disastrous for Dragon City if the mermen managed to control the Flood Dragon.

“It won’t be that easy to control, will it?”

Ji Ye looked up at the sky.

Although the Flood Dragon in the sea was severely injured, it wasn’t alone.

Boom!

A figure wrapped in purple flames fell from the sky onto Dragon Peak, further damaging the mountain.

After the Feng Shui formation disintegrated, the yellow dragon lost its source of power and disappeared. The Purple Flame Demon controlled by Li Yuanba couldn’t fly and had fallen down.

“Roar!”

But as Li Yuanba’s opponent, the “green Flood Dragon” didn’t go after him.

It roared and flew toward its real body that was lying in the sea.

Seeing this, thousands of mermen stirred.

However, the Transcendent merman who rode a seahorse and activated the Sea Giant earlier said something.

The mermen calmed down and sped up, quickly wrapping their colorful strings around the Flood Dragon.

They looked like they were making a mummy.

“Are they having an internal strife?”

“That’s great. Kill the Flood Dragon, and let the Flood Dragon kill some mermen, too!”

“Let’s retrieve the rewards. We can’t lose all those men for nothing!”

Some of the players on the city wall had picked up their weapons and were ready to fight to the last breath. Seeing this change, they grew more hopeful again.

Dragon City had lost several thousand men in this battle, which had exceeded the number of the battle against the Great Four Villains during the advancement test to the Transcendent level. The navy was almost wiped out.

Killing the green Flood Dragon would begin to compensate for their loss.

“I don’t think so. The Flood Dragon and the mermen are attacking Dragon City together and working as a team. They’re obviously connected somehow. I think they’re cooperating with each other.”

Some players shook their heads.

“Will they turn against each other?”

Ji Ye was controlling the seawater on the north with all his power so that the men of Dragon City could get away. He kept his eyes on the Flood Dragon.

Judging by the interaction between the Flood Dragon and the mermen, it was highly likely that the two sides were a team.

But it didn’t mean that they wouldn’t turn against each other.

After all, here in the Land of Inheritance, one could only trust their own race.

When profit was involved, even brothers could turn against each other, let alone two races of different civilizations.

“Roar!”

But things didn’t go as the men of Dragon City expected.

After the Flood Dragon’s “clone” flew back to the original one, it didn’t attack the mermen.

Nor did the mermen attack the Flood Dragon.

They released more colorful strings more quickly, and the strings “stitched” the Flood Dragon’s broken body back together, from nerves and bones to muscles and scales.

Apparently, they were treating the Flood Dragon’s wounds.

As they stitched, the Flood Dragon gradually recovered and was soon back to normal.

However, the mermen didn’t stop their work. They started “singing” again, and the soundwaves raised the seawater, which fused into the colorful strings. A dragon’s body was then built around the strings. Soon, a colorful “water dragon” hundreds of meters long began to take shape.

Meanwhile, the energy the green Flood Dragon gave off kept growing until it surpassed what it had before.

“The mermen are using the strings to give their energy to the Flood Dragon!”

The black Flood Dragon’s eye shone brightly with golden light.

With his True Dragon’s Eyes, Ji Ye noticed something.

The mermen had fused their power into the strings before transferring it to the Flood Dragon to enhance its power.

And the extent of the enhancement was astonishing.

After all, there were thousands of mermen, and they were Extraordinary-level at least. Several of them were even Transcendent beings. They might even be able to transfer the power of the sea monsters they controlled to the Flood Dragon as well.

The green Flood Dragon was a Transcendent Rank-4 creature, and even dividing into two, they were still both rather capable Transcendent Rank-4 creatures.

Now that it had the help of all the mermen, would it rise to Transcendent Rank-5?

“No, I have to interrupt them!”

Ji Ye’s stomach sank a little, and his eyes flickered for the first time.

The power gap between each level was huge in the Transcendent level.

The higher the ranks were, the bigger the difference.

Dragon City might be able to cope with a Transcendent Rank-4 Flood Dragon, but once the Flood Dragon had the Transcendent Rank-5 combat capability, they wouldn’t stand a chance even if they pulled the troops back from Guobei County.

Dragon City might actually be destroyed!

Therefore, the mermen had to be stopped!

The question was, how?

Dragon City had lost all its navy, and even Ruan Xiaoqi, a Transcendent hero, had died in the battle.

The remaining Transcendent heroes couldn’t fight underwater and had exhausted their talent skills in the battle.

To hold off the seawater so that the others could retreat, Ji Ye had given all he could and didn’t have any more energy to stop the mermen either.

Truth be told, even if he didn’t need to stop the seawater, he probably couldn’t stop the green Flood Dragon from making the advancement either.

The Flood Dragon was surrounded by thousands of mermen and tens of thousands of sea monsters, but Ji Ye had only just risen to Transcendent Rank-3. He wasn’t strong enough to break into a settlement alone like what the green Flood Dragon did.

More importantly, a Transcendent Rank-3 clone of the green Flood Dragon was hovering above the “colorful” Flood Dragon.

Apparently, the clone had rushed back to guard the other one while it made the advancement.

A Transcendent Rank-3 clone was strong enough to stop all the attacks from Dragon City. Even if Li Guang still had enough power of providence to use his talent skill, launching a nuclear bomb wouldn’t do anything.

The only thing that might work now was probably...

The True Dragon Terrain!

“Roar!”

After smacking the Flood Dragon away, the True Dragon Terrain stayed in the air and didn’t keep chasing the opponent.

Instead, it turned around and stared at the black Flood Dragon with a confused look in its eyes.

When it turned around, it saw that golden seal the Flood Dragon was holding. Immediately after, it jolted and pounced at Ji Ye!
