86: Chapter 86 Three Displaced Holy Spirits Surround and Slay the Quasi-Totem! (Part 1)
...
Before the Nether Prison Dragon could even see what kind of thing was flying toward it, the "meteorite" struck it heavily. Its scale-covered abdomen instantly caved in, and its massive body retreated several steps, only stabilizing after carving several deep gouges into the earth...
"Roar—"
It let out an angry roar, seemingly very dissatisfied with this sudden sneak attack!
Its massive head slowly rose, and its dragon pupils, like ghostly fires, suddenly blazed with intensity.
A wisp of dark purple lightning leaked from between its teeth, and the purple electricity on its dragon horns erupted violently, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long lightning dragon. Carrying Nether Thunder and dragon prestige, it crashed toward the direction where Chu Ran was!
“Boom!”
The power of the thunder struck Chu Ran squarely!
But the scene it imagined did not occur...
After the power of the thunder dissipated, Chu Ran was still standing straight in his original spot.
The Nether Prison Dragon felt somewhat surprised...
It saw that the "meteorite" that had just struck it suddenly came to life...
Turtle poked its head out and tilted it to glance at the Nether Prison Dragon. The moment their eyes met, the Nether Prison Dragon's body seemed to suffer a heavy blow, and it flew backward, smashing heavily onto the ground as dust and smoke filled the air...
Chu Ran discovered that a crack had actually appeared on one of the plates of Turtle's Black Tortoise Shell, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked...
Just now, Chu Ran had used Symbiosis to transfer all the damage from the Nether Prison Dragon's strike to the tortoise shell, and it had actually broken through Turtle's first layer of defense!
The previous Peak Saint Spirit Grade Demonic Beasts couldn't break Turtle's defense no matter what they did!
The power of this Quasi-Totem was actually so terrifying!
However, looking at the Nether Prison Dragon's current pathetic state, it was clear...
Although it had reached the Quasi-Totem realm and its attacks were incredibly overbearing, its defensive attributes certainly couldn't compare to Turtle's...
Moreover, that strike just now only dealt half damage to Turtle, but after reflecting it back, it was double damage!
The Nether Prison Dragon stood up shakily and let out a roar toward the sky!
“Roar—!”
The momentum of this roar was so powerful it almost pierced the heavens!
On the Starry Sky Plank Road, several Ninth-Turn Experts who were struggling to resist the beast tide felt a daze after hearing this roar...
Xiao Yuhe was the first Ninth Revolution to arrive at the Starry Sky Plank Road for support besides the nine experts on rotation. Hearing that roar, a faint sense of unease welled up in his heart.
That aura was much stronger than the Saint Spirit Grade Demonic Beasts he was currently facing!
Could it be that a powerful demonic beast had already sneaked into Tianxuan?
Xiao Yuhe's expression froze to a freezing point. With a surging tide of millions of beasts in front of him and other high-level demonic beasts below, Tianxuan was currently in a state of being attacked from both front and back!
Even though seven more experts from the Dragon Country, Nanxiu Country, and Storm Country had successively arrived on the Starry Sky Plank Road to provide support...
But only seventeen Ninth-Turn Experts were far from enough; against these endless demonic beasts, it was simply like a mantis trying to stop a carriage...
Furthermore, their spiritual energy was currently drying up at a visible rate...
If this continued, there would only be one outcome!
Just before despair could flood his heart, he suddenly noticed a dozen figures racing toward the Starry Sky Plank Road from the direction of the roar, and each person's body was flowing with the aura of a Ninth Revolution or something close to it!
“Old man Xiao, long time no see,” Meng Feier spoke first.
Shock appeared in Xiao Yuhe's eyes. He really hadn't expected the International Alliance to be able to rush over...
“Aren't you focused on investigating the Four Great Death Lands and have no time to manage the affairs of the starry sky?” Xiao Yuhe asked in confusion.
In the past two years, the International Alliance had been running back and forth between the Four Great Death Lands and various countries to investigate. It was said they had discovered some secrets about the lands beyond the continent. They managed the Starry Sky Plank Road very little, and since the various countries were not on good terms with the International Alliance, their relationship was also very awkward...
“If I knew you were here, I wouldn't have come,” Meng Feier joked. Seeing this old friend he hadn't seen in a long time, it was clear he was in a good mood. “Your Dragon Country has truly produced a one-in-a-million divine talent... He solo-cleared three of the Four Great Death Lands by himself, and now he's clearing the fourth...”
Xiao Yuhe instantly sucked in a cold breath. Only yesterday had he learned from Chu Tianba about Chu Ran's feat of killing the Heaven Swallowing Crocodile Emperor alone in Sakura Sun...
This morning, he heard from several youngsters back from the Genius Battle that Chu Ran had slaughtered his way through Nanxiu Country...
Solo-clearing three Death Lands?!
Does this mean Chu Ran went to the Extreme Cold Land not long ago?!
And what does 'clearing the fourth' mean...?!
Could it be that the roar just now was...
From Meng Feier's expression, Xiao Yuhe understood the meaning he wanted to convey...
This Chu Ran is truly... the pride of Dragon Country!
Wherever he goes, he has to severely whip and spur the experts of other countries!
But now was not the time to celebrate for him. Xiao Yuhe suddenly remembered their current situation, and a hint of distress appeared on his face...
“Actually, you don't need to worry too much with us here,” Meng Feier said to Xiao Yuhe.
Xiao Yuhe squeezed out a smile. Although nine of these newly arrived experts were Ninth Revolutions, compared to the continuous beast tide, it was still far from enough...
At most, they could only delay for some time...
“What do you mean by that expression? Looking down on us?” Meng Feier's expression was somewhat dissatisfied. “If we didn't have some skills, would we dare call ourselves the International Alliance?”
His eyes held a hint of arrogance. “Although we are no match for that Beast Taming Master, our methods for dealing with this kind of beast tide are a bit stronger than yours...”
Xiao Yuhe looked suspiciously at the old man in front of him.
The expression on his face made it seem like he really had a way to deal with this million-strong beast tide...
Meng Feier looked back toward the direction they had just flown from, where a point of light was rapidly rushing toward them...
Soon, Lu Xiu appeared before Xiao Yuhe.
Looking at this Peak Eighth Turn young man, a hint of disappointment showed in Xiao Yuhe's eyes.
Meng Feier, however, said indifferently, “Let this group of self-important Ninth-Turn Experts see what the power of unity is.”
“Little Lu Xiu!”
“Present!”
“International Alliance, hear my command! Form the Heavenly Light Radiant Sun Array!”
