99: You and I are both descendants of the Eastern Dragon!
Just as Chu Jing was utterly shocked,
Qin Yang had already descended from the sky,
landing in front of the master and disciple.
"That was so cool just now! Qin Da... mm..."
"Did you come with my dad?"
Before Chu Jing could speak, Chu Mengxuan stood up.
At this moment, her pretty face was blackened by the fire, but her bright eyes still sparkled with clear foolishness.
She seemed to have completely forgotten about the Twin Star Amulet, thinking that Qin Yang had come as reinforcements, and her eyes were filled with admiration.
As one of the Prodigies whom Qin Yang had defeated nine-on-one,
Chu Mengxuan had personally experienced his strength.
She was not at all surprised by Qin Yang's support for Jingming City.
Although Qin Yang's Rank was low, it wasn't difficult for him to be among the top hundred Kings in Hongwu City.
"Eh? Where's my dad? Didn't he come with you?"
Chu Mengxuan looked around, searching for Chu Mengchen's figure.
"Didn't I come, Dad?" Qin Yang replied, then looked at Chu Jing and asked, "Senior Chu, what's the situation in Jingming City now?"
Hearing Qin Yang call her, Chu Jing was startled awake from her shock.
She composed herself and said,
"The situation is not optimistic. These Dragonkin Soldiers were air-dropped by the Dragons, and their numbers aren't that high yet."
"Outside the East Gate and North Gate, there are still a large number of Dragonkin Soldiers. Once the city gates are breached, even if Jingming City is defended, it will be an empty city."
Qin Yang nodded in agreement.
Jingming City's area was even larger than Hongwu City's, with 1.2 million citizens.
Unless ten thousand Imperial Guards were summoned, it would be difficult to protect everyone.
"Summoning ten thousand Imperial Guards consumes a lot of Imperial Power."
"The best way is to use large-scale skills to clear out the monsters outside the city."
"Coincidentally, the monsters are all outside the city, so I can unleash 'Pluck the Stars from the Sky' without any reservations."
After understanding the situation, Qin Yang flew directly into the air, overlooking the entire scene.
"The Dragonkin Soldiers are not to be feared; the key is to deal with those Dragons."
One thousand Imperial Guards could quickly clear out the Dragonkin Soldiers within the city.
But the Dragons in the sky would require different methods.
These Dragons flew very fast. The fact that he could instantly kill three of them with the Divine Weapon of the World was because he caught them off guard.
Now that they were on guard, hitting them wouldn't be so easy.
Unless, a dense barrage of attacks was arranged.
But in that case, it would inevitably consume too much Imperial Power.
Currently, the Ancient Dragon had not yet appeared, and Qin Yang had to be cautious.
"Let's leave it to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon."
Qin Yang thought, activating his True Dragon Blood.
A powerful energy circulated around his body, which was enveloped in a golden light.
As his breathing deepened, this energy grew stronger and more dazzling.
Suddenly, Qin Yang's eyes snapped open.
Accompanied by a long Dragon roar, a golden Qi was gently exhaled from his mouth.
This golden Qi was like a flowing ribbon, circling, tumbling, and expanding in the air, gradually transforming into a colossal creature... Boom boom boom!
Jingming City, northern city wall.
Dragon's Breath descended like heavenly fire.
The blue barrier, supported by many auxiliary Professionals, rippled like waves.
Crack crack crack!
Cracks spread across the barrier, and the auxiliary Professionals coughed up blood, falling one after another.
"It's about to collapse!"
On the city wall, an old man holding a wooden sword had a grave expression.
This person was Zheng Yun, the Lieutenant General of Jingming City's garrison, a Rank 65 Daoist.
Zheng Yun's gaze sharpened.
This barrier was Jingming City's last line of defense.
Once it was shattered, the city wall would also be vulnerable.
And outside the city wall, there were tens of thousands of Dragonkin Soldiers.
If they were allowed to enter the city, at least seventy percent of Jingming City's population would die.
As if hearing Zheng Yun's thoughts,
the circling Dragons swooped down, launching a frenzied attack on the city wall barrier.
Under the thunderous Dragon roars, the barrier cracked inch by inch, collapsing and shattering.
At this moment, almost all the auxiliary Professionals on the city wall fell.
Jingming City's last line of defense was declared to have collapsed.
Next, it would be a close-quarters battle.
Zheng Yun glanced outside the city.
Those Dragonkin Soldiers had already launched a charge towards the city wall.
If they were allowed to rush into the city,
there would be no need to wait for any reinforcements.
Zheng Yun took a deep breath and shouted to all combat Professionals: "Melee Professionals above Rank 55, follow me down the wall to meet the enemy!"
"Yes!"
The Professionals shouted in unison, each with the resolve to die for their cause.
Having enjoyed high status and high income in normal times, they had to demonstrate their value at this moment.
If they didn't, the values of this world would collapse.
Just as the Professionals were about to leap off the city wall to fight desperately with the Dragonkin Soldiers, a scorching laser, shimmering with golden lightning, swept down from the sky.
That laser was like a divine sword, cutting the diving Dragons in half.
The huge Dragon corpses, emitting white flames, fell into the Ranks of the Dragonkin Soldiers, causing immense damage like falling meteorites.
"This is... reinforcements?"
Just as Zheng Yun was surprised, a high-pitched Dragon roar echoed through the heavens and earth.
Everyone turned to look behind them, met by a surging wave of Qi.
The intimidating pressure carried by the Qi wave spread like ripples throughout the entire city.
The raging fires in the city were all extinguished by this Qi.
Jingming City, in its chaos, seemed to have been muted.
Combat Professionals and ordinary people fleeing in panic all looked up at the sky.
Above the sky, a golden Eastern Dragon was coiling.
Its entire body was covered in shimmering scales, as if cast from gold.
Its long and powerful body was full of strength and elegance.
A pair of piercing eyes looked down upon all living beings.
Its Dragon head was held high, spewing golden flames from its mouth.
Amidst the rolling smoke, it illuminated the entire city.
"That... that looks like an Eastern Dragon!"
Many people were seeing an Eastern Dragon for the first time.
But some knowledgeable scholars were not unfamiliar with it.
Legend has it that before the great catastrophe,
the Eastern Dragon was the totem of the Jiuzhou region.
However, in the era of universal job changes, various monsters appeared.
Even Western Dragons appeared, but Eastern Dragons were never seen.
Only the epic Professional Dragon Fist Master could conjure a Dragon Soul, proving the existence of Eastern Dragons.
But that was only a phantom Dragon Soul.
A physical Eastern Dragon had never appeared in the history of the Jiuzhou Federation.
But today, history was rewritten!
"An Eastern Dragon! It's Jiuzhou's Eastern Dragon!"
Zheng Yun's voice trembled as he shouted.
Thanks to the versatility of the Daoist profession, he was one of the few Geniuses in Jiuzhou history to become a city commander with an outstanding-grade profession.
At the same time, he was also a scholar.
He had a deep understanding of the Jiuzhou Federation's fragmented culture, and an understanding of Eastern Dragons no less than Xu Nantian's.
When he heard that distant and high-pitched long roar, he thought Xu Nantian had come to support them.
But when he looked up,
he actually saw the mythical creature he had sought for half his life!
"It's a physical Eastern Dragon! It really exists!"
Zheng Yun's voice trembled, and old tears streamed down his face.
But the Lieutenant General beside him was on the verge of crying from fear.
He looked at the colossal creature in the sky, his eyes full of terror, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"Don't be afraid!"
Zheng Yun patted the Lieutenant General's shoulder and said, "The Eastern Dragon is our Jiuzhou's totem. You and I are both descendants of the Dragon. Its arrival here will surely protect us!"
With that, he looked at the circling Dragons in the sky and shouted somewhat crazily, "You lizards who call yourselves Dragons, open your eyes and see what a Dragon truly is!"
