Crack! Everyone else, watch as normal!
I felt a burning pain on my shoulder as the Strella's claws swept past me again. The Strella's frenzied attacks tore through the earth and me, dealing another 110,000 damage in the blink of an eye. I had died a dozen or so times by now. I was almost a thousand meters underground, and I couldn't see any light at all. I could only rely on Coldness of the Nine States to illuminate my surroundings, and the Strella's vicious head was right in front of me.
I continued to use Milky Way Transformation and Astral Wind to defend myself. Burning Blade Slash and War Crush appeared in the darkness, and the Strella's HP visibly decreased under the barrage of attacks. However, it wasn't very likely that I could kill it with my current attack power. At the very least, I would return to Level 0 before I could take out all of Strella's HP. At that time, no matter how high my attack power was, a Level 300 Divine Rank boss at Level 0 would miss 100% of the time.
… …
Swhoosh!
Suddenly, my Milky Way Realm domain sensed a powerful force flying toward me from above. I grabbed the Strella's ferocious dragon tooth and kicked it with my war boots. At the same time, I shouted at the top of my lungs, "Xinran!!"
"What?!"
The Strella seemed to have sensed something as well, and its movements paused for a moment. In the next moment, its body shuddered violently, and frost appeared on its scales. Puchi! Its dragon wings were torn apart, and the earth cracked. Xinran, covered in dragon blood and wielding the Dragonbone Spear, rushed to my side.
"Big brother!"
Xinran grabbed my arm and looked at my terrible appearance. Her eyes turned red, and she almost cried. "Big brother, what happened to you …"
I continued to attack the Strella while saying, "Xinran, the Dragon God is too strong …"
"I know!"
Xinran turned around and threw a punch at the Strella's ferocious dragon head. Her small fist contained a tremendous amount of energy, and it knocked the dragon's head back with a loud bang. At the same time, she thrust her Dragonbone Spear forward and fired an energy blast at the dragon's lower jaw. Blood splattered everywhere.
The Strella's eyes grew even more sinister as it was attacked. He laughed. "Keke, Wind Singer Xinran, I know you. You used to be one of the strongest experts of the purgatory. However, you dare to help the humans, traitor? Lord Lin Na will not forgive you. Come, let me take your head to the purgatory to claim credit!"
The Dragon God's claws danced in the air as it unleashed a barrage of attacks. Xinran, who was leaning against my chest, raised her arm and blocked the attacks for me, but a few bloody cuts immediately appeared on her arm. Xinran's defensive barrier wasn't strong enough to withstand the Dragon God's attacks, so she was injured the moment she came into contact with the Dragon God.
Xinran opened her palm and let out a soft cry, "Winged Silver Dragon, Blood Blade, kill!"
In the air, the silhouette of the Winged Silver Dragon appeared and bit the back of the Dragon God Strella. However, his body was too small, so it was like a gadfly biting the back of a cow. Strella only felt pain, but was not injured. He completely ignored the Winged Silver Dragon's attack. On the other hand, the Headless Horseman Blood Blade suddenly raised his longsword and bombarded the dragon's back three times. Sparks flew everywhere, and the dragon's scales were torn open. The Strella's HP rapidly dropped by nearly 4%.
"You worms, are you courting death?"
Furious, the Strella abruptly stopped his attack. His body trembled slightly, and his abdomen turned bright red. He was accumulating fire energy as he roared, "Die!"
Roar!
Strella was the king of controlling flames. The flames in his body suddenly howled as they burst out of his body. Immediately, the Winged Silver Dragon on his back howled as it burned. Its body was charred black, and its four limbs were almost burned to the point of weathering. Flapping its wings, it jumped into a spatial crack with a "hua hua hua" sound. It had already left this plane.
"Kakaka..."
Blood Blade's cloak was completely charred, and the armor on his body was slowly melting away. However, he was still able to stab his sword into the dragon's back. Then, he punched Strella again and again. The power of his soul condensed in his head, and he roared in a voice that made people's hearts tremble, "Lady Xinran, kill him! Kill this ruthless Dragon God! He has already become a demon, and is no longer fit to be the master of the Dragon Domain!
Xinran's Dragonbone Spear glowed brightly, and she abruptly shook her arm. The spear transformed into thousands of spear lights and pierced through the Dragon God's abdomen. Flames erupted from the spear, and the Strela was also roaring in pain. For now, the battle between two Divine Rank experts was a draw. Book buffs loved to read:
"Roar roar..."
The Dragon God opened its mouth and tried to swallow Xinran whole. Xinran opened her palm and gathered her Stellar Energy, but it was shattered by the dragon's head. Strella's guillotine teeth bit down and left a deep wound on Xinran's arm. Blood gushed out like a fountain. I hurriedly raised my arm and used God Binding Art.
I hurriedly raised my arms and activated God Binding Art, but all I got was a big MISS. Hugging Xinran with my left arm, I activated Coldness of the Nine States with my right arm and shouted, "Ice of the Nine States … Honestly, I shouldn't have hoped that the stun effect would work. Strella was just too much stronger than me, but I couldn't give up just yet. Coldness of the Nine States grew even brighter as I continued to use Burning Blade Slash and Universe Break. At the same time, I pressed my palm against the rock beside me and infused it with the power of Awakening. Soaring Dragon Suppression surged out of nowhere and slammed into Strella's body. Although the Dragon God's HP was over 200 billion, Soaring Dragon Suppression's HP was still dropping rapidly.
… …
Strella let out a series of screams as his HP slowly neared 50%. Suddenly, he raised his head and roared angrily at the sky, "Lin Na, you despicable bastard! Do you still remember our contract?!
Right now, the traitor of purgatory, the Wind Singer, wants to kill me! You must grant me power, or the Dragon Domain will no longer belong to the Night Creatures! "
Bzzz!
A bloody light fell from the sky, and the Dragon God Strella's body turned transparent. His black scales were dyed red, and I could see his bones through them. His blood was flowing through his veins, and the flames inside his body were surging. His dragon head looked even more sinister than before. Staring at me and Xinran, Strella roared angrily, "Come, taste the power of hell! Book fans love to read more!"
"Claw of Death!"
The dragon claw abruptly broke through Xinran's Defense and left a deep gash on her chest. At the same time, Xinran spat out a mouthful of blood and screamed in pain. She leaned against my chest and kept crying, "Big brother, big brother, it hurts …"
I hugged Xinran tightly, raised the Azure Dragon Shield, and activated Myriad Sword Absolute Path and Call of the Wind and Summon the Rain at the same time. Energy blasts wreaked havoc around the Dragon God.
"You're courting death!"
Strella laughed savagely and swung his claws repeatedly. Bloody gashes appeared on Xinran's shoulders and arms.
"Uuuu …"
Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Xinran suddenly opened her palm and formed a giant indigo energy umbrella. She growled, "Illusionary Spirit Umbrella!
I … I won't allow you to hurt big brother … "
The draconic claws continued to attack, shaking the Illusionary Spirit Umbrella with loud bangs. Every attack caused Xinran to shudder, and it pained me to see her like this. The only thing I could do was increase my damage output. Cold of the Nine States fired long-range sword energy at the draconic armor again and again, but it was far too weak.
… …
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the indigo Illusionary Spirit Umbrella was torn to shreds by the dragon's claw. The green umbrella's branches and ribs turned into indigo energy fragments that floated in the wind. Xinran spat out another mouthful of blood, but the determination in her eyes only grew stronger. She raised a trembling hand and spread her fingers. She continued to chant in a low voice, "Gods slumbering in the realm of death, hear my call and return justice to the earth. I, the Wind Singer, beg of you — Forbidden?
Sacrifice of the Gods! "
The earth shook, and the dark underground turned red under Xinran's summons. Then, bloody light started to seep out of the soil behind us and take the form of Ancient Gods. Then, the Ancient Gods raised their weapons and pierced through Strella's body, dealing a shocking amount of damage. It really was a forbidden spell … Strella's HP dropped to around 20% in an instant. Xinran's forbidden spell was so powerful that even Strella couldn't block it at all. The rest of the readers looked at it with a normal expression.
However, the forbidden spell's effect was weakness. Xinran's body was boiling hot, and her body was covered in wounds. She breathed weakly and said, "Big brother, I'm sorry. I couldn't kill Strella, I …"
I said solemnly, "Xinran, don't blame yourself. You can kill him, you definitely can!"
As I said that, I raised Coldness of the Nine States and unleashed every skill I could think of. Even though my apparition and Phantom Wolf King would be one-shot the moment they were summoned, I didn't hesitate to summon them anyway. I was willing to trade them for even a fraction of Xinran's safety.
Strella wasn't faring much better, but he still glared at Xinran and snarled, "Wind Singer, so what if it's Lin Na's power?"
Xinran abruptly raised her head and threw the Dragonbone Spear at lightning speed!
Puchi!
The spear pierced Strella's right eye. Xinran smiled and said, "I'm going to blind your dog eyes …" Strella roared angrily and opened his mouth with everything he had. A scorching dragon breath engulfed both Xinran and me. At the same time, Strella's giant head abruptly closed in on us and bit us cruelly. There was a crack, and Xinran screamed in pain under the attack of flames and dragon teeth. I also resurrected myself at the same time.
Strella's dragon breath pushed Xinran and I down another hundred meters. When I opened my eyes and saw Xinran in my arms, I shuddered and felt as if a knife was twisting in my heart. Xinran's legs were gone, charred and bloody. Her legs had been bitten off at the knee, and her battle robes were riddled with burn holes. She was covered in blood and trembling slightly. She lay in my arms with tears at the corner of her eyes.
"Big brother, it hurts … Q!
