I quickly changed my appearance and changed my armor to pure black. Then, I took off my helmet, creating a shadow that covered my face. I also changed the Xuan-Yuan Sword's glow from gold to black. This way, I was wearing the same attire as the Death Dragon Knights.
Thud!
I climbed onto the Winged Silver Dragon's back and whispered, "Let's go. We're going to disguise ourselves as Undead Dragon Knights and fly into the depths of the Bloody Temple. We're going to enter the Land of Exile!"
The Winged Silver Dragon was trembling all over. "Oh, my brave master's big brother, can you find another dragon to replace me? I'm worried that I won't be strong enough to hide your majestic body!"
I hit its head with my sword and said, "If I don't ride you, am I supposed to ride a dog?
Xinran must be in great danger alone in the Land of Exile. Aren't you worried about her at all? "
"I … I … Fine, I'll be the hero's mount for once!"
… …
The Winged Silver Dragon abruptly stomped the ground and took Aodan and me into the sky. Slowly, we joined the ranks of the Undead Dragon Knights and flew in the air for a full 20 minutes. In fact, we even became familiar with a couple of the Undead Dragon Knights. Just as we were about to eat hotpot with them, we abruptly descended toward the center of the Bloody Temple.
"Watch out! Don't get too close to those archers!"
I growled. There were tens of thousands of miniboss dark archers standing on the buildings below us. If we got too close, they would see through our disguises and we would be doomed.
The Winged Silver Dragon wasn't very big. In fact, it was even smaller than Lin Yixin's Red Crystal Dragon. I flew over a group of Dark Archers like a gust of wind, but it didn't matter that I was a player. The archers looked up and exclaimed, "Dammit, I smell a living person! That dragon knight isn't a member of Scarlet Temple! Shoot him down!"
Thud thud thud!
Bowstrings twanged, and a series of bloody arrows flew toward me and hit the Winged Silver Dragon's abdomen. At the same time, my HP dropped by a huge chunk. It wasn't that the archers had high Attack, but that their attacks were too concentrated.
“172376！”
“197263！”
“184377！”
…
I lost almost 5 million HP in the blink of an eye. Both I and my dragon were able to fly up and barely escape death. Fuck, this is like the guards of the Scarlet Palace trying to intimidate me. Thank goodness I was prepared for this, or I might've died on the lower levels!
"Damn it! My stomach is about to be torn apart! These filthy bugs!"
The Winged Silver Dragon roared angrily. After all, it wasn't my true mount, so it took most of the damage on its own. Its wings were full of arrows, and it couldn't maintain its balance at all. It trembled as it fell towards one of the tall palaces in the city!
"F * ck …"
I let out a muffled groan and tried my best to maintain my direction. My dragon and I smashed through a crystal window in the hall with a loud bang. Pieces of my body rolled across the room as I used Tenacity of the Dead + Bloodline Boil to recover my health. At the same time, I pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword and looked around warily. We had already entered the depths of the blood-colored hall, and I could even feel an unusually strong power in front of me. If I wasn't mistaken, it should be Lin Na.
I stood up and looked outside the room. There was a long, dark hallway, and a group of 15 blade-wielding Stalkers were walking toward me. They were the scouts of the castle.
… …
They were NPCs after all, so they didn't have high AI. I didn't cause too much of a commotion when I entered the castle. As long as I didn't attract any aggro, they wouldn't attack me. Otherwise, I would be drowned by thousands of Stalkers the moment the alarm went off.
He raised his hand and with a 'shua', an Ancient Rune landed in the middle of a group of Hunters. All of them were hit by the Ancient Rune, and a group of high-level monsters immediately raised their weapons and charged over.
After I entered the room, I summoned the Phantom Wolf King and shouted, "Winged Silver Dragon, help me kill these Stalkers as quickly as possible!"
Puchi!
Just as I finished speaking, the Winged Silver Dragon had already latched onto the head of a Stalker. Its head swayed a few times, and with a "Pa", it forcefully bit off the head of the Demi BOSS. I was dumbstruck. Damn!
Even if they were Xinran's lackeys, these low-level bosses in charge of guarding the castle couldn't compare to them.
I killed all 15 Stalkers in one fell swoop. After I looted the spoils of war, I poked my head out of the window and looked outside. There was no one around.
Aodan whispered, "Lin Na's residence is on the fifth floor of the Scarlet Palace. We're currently on the first floor, so we need to think of a way to get down and not attract any attention!"
"Mn!
I know … "
I tugged at my cloak and pulled the hood over my head. This way, I looked like a black-robed warrior. Then, I took out a thick iron chain from the corner of the room and wrapped one end around the Winged Silver Dragon's neck. Then, I hunched my body so that Aodan looked like a hunchback. Holding the Winged Silver Dragon by its leash, he smiled and asked, "What do you think? Do I look like a dark tamer?"
Aodan smiled back. "You do …"
The Winged Silver Dragon grumbled, "I'm a Holy Giant Dragon, and a progenitor of all Holy Giant Dragons no less! How can someone of my noble status be led around like a dog?"
I tightened my grip on the iron chain and said angrily, "Cut the crap! You should've thought of this when you abandoned Xinran! I'm here to atone for your sins, or Xinran will cut you into pieces the next time you see her!"
The Winged Silver Dragon's last shred of resistance immediately vanished at the mention of Xinran. It lowered its head and said, "I'm willing to die for my beautiful master!"
… …
I leisurely walked out of the room with the Winged Silver Dragon by its leash. As I walked along the corridor, I quickly analyzed the structure of the castle and found the entrance to the next floor. My luck wasn't bad. There weren't any guards around, so I easily snuck into the second floor.
The ground of the second floor was covered in layers of frost. Behind me, Aodan whispered, "This floor is the dwelling of great mages."
I nodded and leaped into the air. Dragging the Winged Silver Dragon with me, I landed on the fifth floor with a thud. Who said we had to go down floor by floor? Wouldn't it be easier this way?
I opened the detailed map and saw that the fifth floor was called the Scarlet Hall. Right in front of me was Lin Na's dwelling. However, I had to go around a row of blood-colored rooms before I could reach it.
Going around the hall would take even longer, so I didn't want to wait any longer. I flew forward and kicked open the door to a room.
"Bang!"
I was stunned when I saw what I saw inside.
Inside the room, the candlelight was soft and gentle. Three beautiful girls were lying on a bed made of tiger skin, and they were completely naked. They were panting and panting, and their fair skin was covered in a black luster. It was the color of death. Moreover, every girl was wearing a metal chain around their necks, and the chains were chained to the ground. It looked like they were imprisoned here.
"Gulp!"
I gulped. "What are these?"
Behind me, Aodan whispered, "These are Lin Na's slaves. Most of these girls were chosen directly from the human world. On one hand, they are for Lin Na's pleasure, and on the other …"
Before Aodan could finish, I had already walked up to the girls, pulled out my sword, and cut off the chains around their necks.
The girls' eyes were filled with gratitude the moment the chains were removed. One of them even walked up to me and hooked her legs around me, breathing softly on my face.
I was just about to tell them to behave themselves when an overwhelming sense of danger suddenly engulfed me. Not good!
I twisted my sword and parried the dagger of one of the girls. The three girls' expressions became extremely sinister as they swung their daggers and charged at me. Damn, they're all Ancient Immortal Rank bosses, and they're all True Rank bosses too. I've messed with them!
Aodan was speechless. "I was just about to say that these are evil assassins of the darkness, and you saved them …"
Outside the door, a group of black silhouettes rushed over. They were all young girls who were completely naked, and each of them held a dagger in their hands. Almost 20 ancient immortal rank assassins were chasing after them. Damn, what a grand show!
… …
I swung the Xuan-Yuan Sword and slashed at the wall behind me. I shouted, "Mountain Crush!"
My luck wasn't bad. Mountain Crush appeared, and it split open a huge hole in the wall. I flew past it, and the Winged Silver Dragon also flapped its wings and chased after me. It said, "Oh, damn, these women's bodies are amazing, but they're all Lin Na's women. Damn, what a pity … Master's big brother, why didn't you subdue one of them and take them back to the human world? You can f * ck them every day if you take them back …"
"F * ck your sister!" I glared and shouted. I was about to die, and f * ck them all!
In front of me, a group of guards wielding golden swords charged over and shouted, "There's an assassin, kill him!"
Dark Blood Guards, Level 334 Immortal Rank bosses. They were Lin Na's personal guards, and there were at least a hundred of them.
Thud!
I suddenly stomped on the ground and flew up. My body landed straight in front of me. There was a gigantic throne. On the throne, Lin Na was holding the Star Light Sword in one hand and hugging a naked woman in the other. He was laughing at her.
Behind the throne was a bloody abyss. Yes, that was the entrance to the Exiled Lands!
Speed up!
Charge! I'll charge in in one go!
… …
Lin Na abruptly looked up, his bloody eyes filled with killing intent. "It's you again, you brat! How dare you cause trouble in the Purgatory! I'm going to skin you alive and make you taste all the pain in the world!"
Starlight shone brightly, and it was only then that I noticed that Lin Na's right arm was an energy manifestation. Xinran had cut off his physical body.
But even if it was just an energy manifestation, he could still one-shot me. This was Lin Na!
Profound Armor!
Milky Way Transformation!
Xuan-Yuan Slash!
I used my full power to block Lin Na's attack. All I needed was a chance to enter the Exiled Lands!
… …
"Bang!"
The energy blast exploded, and my arm went numb. Lin Na kicked me in the stomach and lost over 4 million HP in one go. This bastard's Attack was too high, and that starlight was coming again!
I reached out, grabbed the Winged Silver Dragon, and threw it!
Boom!
The moment the Winged Silver Dragon smashed into Lin Na's chest, I lightly stepped through the air. With a "Pa!" sound, I disappeared into the teleportation array in the Land of Exile. The Winged Silver Dragon's voice sounded from behind me, "Oh? I have to use my life to atone for my sins?
Master's despicable brother, take me with you to the Exiled Lands. I don't want to be trampled by Lin Na … "
PS: I recommend an online novel called "Peasant Workers Play Online Games". It's well written, and the author has great writing skills.
