Chapter 324: The Light in a Hopeless Situation

Shi Xiaobai’s instakill of the black-robed youth created an extremely strong deterrent. It made a vast majority of the rookies to vanquish the idea of surrounding the ‘dragon’. However, the black-robed youth’s self-destruction before death had caused him to pay a tragic price.

If not for ‘Unleaking Turtle Aura’ allowing him to persist on, he might not even be able to stand up straight. However, Shi Xiaobai presented an image that he was as stable as a bedrock, an illusion that he was uninjured when he instakilled the black-robed youth, making the rookies believe that this dragon was not something they could mess with.

It was within Shi Xiaobai’s expectations that a vast majority would retreat a few steps.

Mu Yuesheng and company’s advancement was also within his expectations.

Shi Xiaobai sighed softly as he felt embroiled in mixed emotions. He obviously would not blame the rookies who were trying to kill him. After all, he was a dragon in their eyes that had eaten Ka Xiaozi. However, for him to fight his partners in a life and death battle would be somewhat depressing regardless of the reason.

“Sorry, This King needs to calm all of you down.”

Shi Xiaobai shifted the black sword into his right hand and said to the few people standing in front of the crowd. He could only settle the situation of him being pursued before he could untangle the curiosities of the situation. For this, he had to make Mu Yuesheng and company lose their ability to fight without harming their lives.

However, in the rookies’ ears, what Shi Xiaobai said was just a dragon’s roar.

Shi Xiaobai gave a self-deprecating smile and did not speak further. He waited silently for the few people to attack him.

Without waiting for long, the attacks came as though they were scheduled.

The first to reach him was still Mu Yuesheng’s electric bolt. Shi Xiaobai did not dodge, but clashed at it with a slash of his sword.

“Boom!”

The sword beam and electric bolt clashed in mid-air before exploding.

Amid the explosive rumbles, a sonic blast surged at him. It was An Mo’s flute music!

“Indeed, the tune sucks.”

Shi Xiaobai cursed in a way no one could understand. He ignored the flute’s tune. The flute tune which was intolerable to others had no effect on him.

As the flute tunes permeated the air, a gigantic boulder came flying over.

Shi Xiaobai’s eyes lit up and he slashed at the boulder. As the stone fragments crumbled after the boulder shattered, he sensed the surging power in it.

Shi Xiaobai raised his sword to block as he took a tiny step back.

“Haha, nice one.”

This was the first time Shi Xiaobai saw Kevin’s boulder throwing move. Immediately he found it very fresh and innovative. It had synergized with Kevin’s superpower, allowing him to pave a brand new road for himself. Shi Xiaobai could not help but be happy for him.

At this moment, an inferno trail swept at him!

“It has improved!”

Shi Xiaobai gave an exclamatory praise. He felt that Mozzie’s Grilling Hammer had made considerable progress, having not wasted his teachings.

Shi Xiaobai grinned and slashed out again. Sword beams transformed into shimmering water waves that engulfed the inferno. With sizzling sounds, the flames turned into billowing steam.

This strike was the Kun Peng’s Sword of Water he had stolen from Heartless!

Steam billowed and turned into white mist. In the lingering mist, dozens of golden charms fell from the sky, surrounding Shi Xiaobai. The charms glowed with a golden luminosity, as though they were gathering strength.

Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath and endured the pain in his knees. Like a top, he spun around causing sword beams to swirl into a tornado that swept the Daoist charms.

Using Bladestorm, the dozens of charms were torn apart, dropping to the ground as paper shreds.

At this moment, an armored youth charged forward. He held one gigantic shield in each of his hands. He was crying out loudly and had quite an imposing stance, but it was rather humorous as well.

“Not bad.”

Shi Xiaobai’s eyes lit up. His judgment said that the two gigantic shields had to be extremely hard.

Shi Xiaobai raised his sword as golden points of light began emerging out of the ground, gathering towards the black sword, enveloping it with a faint golden luster.

Shi Xiaobai had activated the power of his Sword Truth, slashing out twice!

A golden ‘X’-shaped flame surged at Feng Yuanlin’s shields.

The flames collided with the shield as sword beams effervesced in the flames, cracking every inch of the shield’s rough surface. Feng Yuanlin’s expression changed drastically as he released the shields and retreated. He swore, “The flames the darn dragon spews are toxic.”

The rookies standing back looked at each other. They could read the lingering fears they had in each other. They obviously could not hear Shi Xiaobai’s laughter and praises. All they heard was the ‘dragon’ roaring disdainfully while demolishing the powerful rookies’ attacks. The ‘dragon’ indeed had formidable strength.

The people standing in the forefront focused more. The dragon was truly too powerful, it was no wonder it could instantly kill the black-robed youth. However, they could not retreat because of this.

Icy-blue bolts of lightning flashed around Mu Yuesheng. With a step forward, electric bolts shot towards Shi Xiaobai like snakes that meandered across the ground.

“This shall be the end of defense.”

Shi Xiaobai gripped his sword tightly. He did not have the time to carry on defending.

Shi Xiaobai took a step forward and was ready to attack!

At this moment, Shi Xiaobai felt his heart jump. He sensed an extremely hidden danger as he turned sideways and slashed.

This strike clearly was struck in empty air, but a scream resounded immediately.

However, the tingling sense of danger did not disappear. Instead, it became even more intense. Shi Xiaobai hurriedly used Bladestorm, causing sword beams to twirl around in mid-air in a 360° style without any blind spots. Collision sounds constantly resounded as incessant tragic cries were heard. Blood constantly dripped from mid-air, as though it was raining blood.

Shi Xiaobai smiled wryly in his heart. This scene was very familiar. Shi Xiaobai immediately worked out that for some reason, the invisible monsters in the mountain valley had appeared here. Furthermore, it was not one or two, but in large swarms.

Were these invisible monsters here to kill him?

At this moment, dozens of electric bolts that came biting at him like snakes had arrived beneath Shi Xiaobai’s feet.

Shi Xiaobai clenched his teeth and leaped to dodge the electric bolts. He thrust his sword towards the ground, blasting the electric bolts with an intense sword beam.

At this moment, the invisible monsters launched another attack.

Shi Xiaobai could only sense these invisible monsters only at the last instant when they were about to attack him. He had leaped into mid-air, and with his sword used to parry the electric bolts, he could not put up a perfect defense.

Shi Xiaobai could only use his right arm that had metamorphosed into a “Qilin arm” to block the monster’s jaw that was about to bite his head off. With full strength, he charged forward.

The defense level of his left arm and two legs were not considered high. The moment he was bitten by a few invisible monsters, he bled.

Shi Xiaobai winced in pain. Even Unleaking Turtle Aura was unable to inhibit the pain of his flesh being eaten.

“Die!”

Shi Xiaobai attacked angrily and slashed madly at the invisible monster that was chasing him from behind.

Shi Xiaobai could not precisely judge the location of the invisible monster, so he could only activate the power of his Sword Truth and slash around wildly. Sharp and indomitable sword beams sliced through the air as screams reverberated through the world, while blood poured like a torrential storm.

Shi Xiaobai slashed at the swarm of invisible monsters in an incensed manner. The rookies watched flabbergasted because in their eyes, it appeared as though there were invisible monsters attacking the dragon in swarms. A few clumps of meat had been bitten off from the dragon. It was covered in blood as it killed the invisible monsters like it had gone mad. The state of madness it was in was chilling.

There were some rookies who began cheering for the invisible monsters. From their point of view, these invisible monsters were here to help them kill the dragon.

The dragon was absurdly powerful. They could only hear the incessant cries as blood continuously rained down. The invisible monsters were being massacred by the maniacal dragon.

Shi Xiaobai was immersed on a killing spree as his mind began to lose its clarity. Having been seriously injured by the black-robed youth’s blood worms, he was now embroiled in an intense slaughter with the invisible monsters. His body was on the brink of collapse.

Of course, he could not rest. He did not even have a second for a breather because the moment he stopped, he would die.

Shi Xiaobai’s eyes turned red as an inexplicable foulness arose in his heart.

As the cries of the invisible monsters dwindled, Shi Xiaobai sensed an extremely horrifying danger about to befall him, one worse than ever before.

Shi Xiaobai could only raise his sword above his head based on his intuition!

“Clang!”

The sounds of heavy metal clashing resounded, as though the sword had been lodged by something suddenly. It was bending and nearly broke.

Drops of viscous fluids dripped down on Shi Xiaobai’s head, drenching his body. There was a stench that exuded from the viscous fluid.

Shi Xiaobai frowned deeply. If he had not guessed wrongly, this was the dragon.

The invisible dragon that he had sent running had appeared above him during the chaos. It had tried to devour him. If not for him raising his sword to jam the dragon’s jaws, he would probably have been swallowed by the dragon.

The dragon’s bite was impressively powerful. Furthermore, it did not seem like it would give up unless it devoured Shi Xiaobai. Shi Xiaobai began to feel the pressure. He could only raise his sword to forcibly resist, but his body could no longer move.

At this moment, the rookies were sharp to notice that the ‘dragon’ had been restrained. They immediately wanted to add insult to injury by launching a flurry of attacks.

“Kill the dragon!”

“Save Ka Xiaozi!”

“Avenge Ka Xiaozi!”

“…”

The rookies clamored. With the opportunity in front of them, they could not miss it!

A long-distance attacks were immediately aimed at Shi Xiaobai, who was unable to move due to the deadlock with the dragon!

“Is this the end?”

A wry smile suffused across Shi Xiaobai’s lips. He was not one who easily gave up. But at this moment in time, there was no other way.

This was a truly hopeless situation, with real death befalling him.

Being killed by people he had gone to great effort to save seemed rather ironic.

Shi Xiaobai sighed. He did not close his eyes, but only waited calmly for his impending death.

As the attacks that filled the sky descended upon him, the invisible dragon seemed oblivious about the attacks the rookies had launched at it. It was as though it was of the mind to die together with Shi Xiaobai in an internecine struggle. It was gripping Shi Xiaobai with the jaws tightly as it tried its best to snap its jaws shut.

Shi Xiaobai no longer had any means of escaping.

At this moment in time, a beam of light descended. In mid-air, a figure walked out of the light.

Instantly, all the attacks vanished.

Invisible monsters that filled the sky wailed tragically and in the next moment ugly gray drakes fell from the sky.

The dragon that was biting on Shi Xiaobai let out a tragic cry before collapsing backwards, revealing its original form. Its body was burnt to a crisp and looked extremely miserable. There was no way to recognize it.

Instantly, the situation reversed.

Everyone looked up at the figure that walked out of the light which had saved the ‘dragon’.

The person was a beautiful young girl wearing a purple dress.

“Ka Xiaozi?”

Someone exclaimed in wonder.

Shi Xiaobai looked up as well as his pupils violently contracted as his heart skipped a beat.

“You…”
