"Xinran, is that you?"
I spun around and clawed at the rock stratum with all my might. A few seconds later, a Caged Dragon appeared in front of me, and Xinran had pulled out her Dragonbone Spear to lend me a hand. Her arm was covered in blood, and the edge of the Caged Dragon was covered in needles.
My heart ached as I asked in a trembling voice, "Xinran, are you … in pain?"
"Mn …"
Xinran let out a soft gasp before looking at Ye Sha behind me with a frown. "Big bro, Ye Sha seems to have weakened. Was his power sealed?
Is it … the legendary God Slaying Dagger? "
I nodded. "Mn!"
"This is great! Big bro, take this opportunity to kill Ye Sha while I distract him!"
Xinran abruptly thrust her spear forward, and the Dragonbone Spear pierced through Ye Sha's head and nailed him to the wall. Then, Xinran's fingers danced in the air, and blood-colored wind blades whistled through the air and bombarded Ye Sha's body, immobilizing him.
Kacha!
I happily pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword and executed Burning Blade Slash and Universe Break. I finally found Xinran, I finally found Xinran...
… …
Ye Sha didn't stand a chance against me and Xinran's combined attacks. Every time he tried to swing his sword, Xinran's Wind Blade would interrupt his attack. His body trembled violently as the Dragonbone Spear pierced through his head. It looked like he had lost consciousness, but it was only a reflex counterattack. After the God Slaying Dagger and the Dragonbone Spear struck him, he was destined to die.
The Xuan-Yuan Sword's 7x damage also appeared more frequently. After nearly 10 times of 7x damage, Ye Sha's last 20% of his HP completely disappeared. With a miserable howl, he dropped a large pile of equipment. His body hung from the stone wall as he died. The entire Fire Dragon's Lair trembled, and cracks appeared on the walls. The Fire Dragon's Lair was built because of Ye Sha's power. With Ye Sha's death, it lost the support of his power and was on the verge of collapse.
Aodan's voice came from behind him. "Hurry up, the fire dragon lair is about to collapse. We have to save the Wind Singer before it collapses, or else it'll be too late!"
I hurriedly raised the Xuanyuan Sword and flew in front of Xinran. "Xinran, step back. I'll let you out!"
"Hmm …"
Xinran's legs were covered in blood, and she couldn't walk anymore. She could only use her divine power to fly in the air.
…
Clang!
Sparks flew as the Xuan-Yuan Sword struck the cage with all its might, but it only left a mark on it.
“MD！”
I gritted my teeth and continued. The second and third sword shook the cage. However, who knew what material this cage was made of. It was actually so tough that it could withstand the continuous attacks of Xuanyuan Sword!
I panicked and slashed more than ten times. Finally, with a "keng", the blade of the Xuanyuan Sword shattered. Its durability dropped to zero and I couldn't use it anymore!
I quickly took out a Recovery Oil. Once my Durability was full, I continued hacking!
"Clang clang clang …"
Xinran stared at me with tears streaming down her cheeks. "Big brother, big brother …"
… …
Finally, after the Xuanyuan Sword's durability was depleted by 74%, one side of the cage finally shattered. Xinran stared at me blankly as tears rolled down her blood-stained cheeks. "Big bro …"
I sheathed my sword and hugged her tightly. "Xinran, I miss you so much …"
Xinran also hugged me tightly. "Big brother, Xinran misses you too. I can't sleep every night. I … I can't stop thinking about you. I'm … I'm worried that you'll come to save me because Lin Na will kill you. I … I'm hoping that you'll come because … because I'm afraid that you'll abandon me …"
My heart ached for her. I hugged her and whispered, "He won't. I'll never abandon Xinran."
Behind us, giant rocks started falling from the ceiling. Anxiously, Aodan said, "You … you guys can stop talking here. Get out of here, or we're going to be buried alive!"
I nodded, and with a "pa", a whirlwind appeared under my feet as I charged toward Ye Sha's corpse. I pulled out the Dragonbone Spear and kicked Ye Sha away. Then, I flew downward and picked up the equipment that Ye Sha had dropped. I didn't even have time to look at it, so I raised the Xuanyuan Sword and charged toward the sky. My sword shone brightly and I shouted, "Xuanyuan Slash"!
Boom!
It wasn't hard to imagine the power of an SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill. In the blink of an eye, the Winged Silver Dragon had broken through the ceiling of the cavern and rushed out with Xinran and Aodan in tow. Below them, the Winged Silver Dragon was clumsily twisting its body as it chased after Xinran and Aodan. It cried out loudly, "Oh, my beautiful master, please forgive the Winged Silver Dragon for being late to save you!
The loyal Winged Silver Dragon will never betray its master. It will always be by your side. Please don't worry! "
Xinran hugged my neck tightly and stared at me. She didn't care about the Winged Silver Dragon at all.
… …
Swhoosh!
I rushed out of the cave in a flash of golden light. When I looked down, I saw that the entire fire dragon lair had been reduced to dust. Princess Kanarina charged out of the rubble with her battle axe and looked at the sky. She laughed loudly and said, "Oh, my dear warrior, I can't believe you killed Ye Sha and saved the future king of the Exiled Lands!"
I was stunned when I heard that. "The future king?"
I looked at Xinran and asked with a smile, "Xinran, what were you doing in the Exiled Lands before I came here? Why were you imprisoned by Ye Sha?"
Xinran's face turned red in embarrassment. "Big brother, Lin Na wanted to execute me in the Immortal Realm, but he was severely injured by me before the execution. That's why I was exiled to this place. I met that bastard Ye Sha, and he forced me to become his concubine … I may have injured him, but I was still imprisoned in that Profound Gold cage …"
"I see …"
I looked at the ruins of the fire dragon lair and said, "Pooh, he wants Xinran to be his concubine? He should look at himself in the mirror, what a shameless old man …"
Xinran and Aodan both laughed.
"Eh?"
Xinran stretched her neck and looked behind me. "Is … is this the Twilight Wanderer?
Why … why are you here? "
I hurriedly explained, "I saved Aodan from the plane of purgatory, and it's all thanks to her help that I'm able to meet you here. If it wasn't for her, I would've died countless times already …"
"Oh, thank you, Twilight Wanderer …"
Xinran reached out and shook Aodan's hand. I sucked in a deep breath and said, "Should we leave this place as soon as possible?"
"Yes!"
Xinran nodded strongly. "But big brother, we're in the Exiled Lands, and this is a sealed plane. No one has ever been able to leave the Exiled Lands. I'm afraid … I'm afraid you'll have to stay here with Xinran forever …"
I smiled. "Don't worry, I'll get you out of here. But …"
I glanced at Xinran's blood-covered legs and said, "But let's clean your wounds first, shall we?
You're too badly injured … "
"Mn …"
Xinran curled up in my arms like a beautiful kitten, and the way she looked at me was enough to melt a man's heart.
… …
Swhoosh!
It wasn't long before we reached the sky above the Blood Sea. I slowly landed on the surface of the sea and practically knelt on my knees. I soaked my Cloud Soaring Boots in the water and held Xinran in my arms. Then, I scooped up some clean seawater and started washing Xinran's scarred feet. I poured a Rank 14 Health Potion on them generously while I was washing them. Xinran let out a moan and hugged me even tighter. I didn't know if it was because of pain or because it was comfortable.
The Winged Silver Dragon was coiled not too far away from me. When it saw me heal Xinran, it suddenly sighed and said, "I finally understand why master would risk her life to fight for this person …"
Xinran immediately glared at the Winged Silver Dragon. "Shut up!"
"Yes, dignified master!" The Winged Silver Dragon dove into the water and stopped talking.
… …
It didn't take long for Xinran's wounds to heal, but the healing speed wasn't fast. It would take at least a day or two for her to walk on her own. Of course, the most important thing was that Xinran had used up a lot of her divine power, and she couldn't eat anything inside the Profound Gold Cage. Even a god wouldn't be able to last long.
I rose to my feet and said, "Now, it's time for us to reach the Immortality Realm and force our way to the sixth level of the Purgatory of Purgatory. Right now, I can only hope that Ice Orchid is waiting for us at the Saint Helmet Ruins and can reopen a plane crack and save us …"
Xinran rubbed my chin and giggled. "Don't worry, big bro. I don't have much power left, but I can still open a plane crack."
"Mn, that's even better!"
"But how are you going to leave the Land of Exile?"
"Hehe, don't worry. I have a plan!"
… …
I took out a dark blue gem and raised it to summon a teleportation formation!
Swhoosh!
A hexagram appeared in the air in front of me. A teleportation formation appeared!
Xinran's mouth fell open. "Wow, this stone … is it a teleportation divine stone?
I've only heard of it before. Where did it come from? "
"I found it on Emperor Sea …"
"Oh … big bro killed Emperor Sea? You're so strong …"
I said, "No, Aodan killed him. I was just taking advantage of the situation … Alright, let's go!"
Aodan smiled. "No wonder you were stepping on the ground at the Hundred Beasts Old Man's place. You were trying to leave a teleportation mark. You really are smart!"
I smiled, stepped into the air, and charged out with the two girls in tow!
… …
Swhoosh!
My body was torn apart by the teleportation formation, and I quickly turned into scattered light. My vision brightened, and I appeared in the courtyard of the Immortality Realm Hundred Beasts Old Man.
"Hiss hiss …"
The crimson python was so frightened that it immediately hid in the old man's arms. The old man's face was also pale with fright. "Heavens, she actually came out of the Banished Land. Is … is that the Wind Singer?
It's an honor to meet you. The next time you descend and wipe out the Immortality Realm, remember to leave me a place to live! "
Xinran smiled but didn't say anything. I said, "Goodbye, old man!"
"Bang!"
A whirlwind of energy surged, and I flew into the sky. At the same time, Aodan looked in the direction of the bloody hall and said, "Not good, Lin Na sensed our power and is coming after us!"
