"Oh no, the Lord of Darkness is trying to escape!" Su Bai exclaimed.

Mr. Guo waved his hand, indicating that it was alright.

Then the second phase of [Gathering Dragon Breath] was activated.

Within the Dark Lord's pitch-black body, the area around his chest turned fiery red.

The dragon's breath, reaching temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, directly ignited inside the Dark Lord's body.

A piercing scream echoed throughout the Cursed Islands.

With the tide turning against him and knowing he had nowhere to escape, the Lord of Darkness, after the screams subsided, let out a series of chilling laughs.

“Foolish humans, you have destroyed the energy core, and the seal on the Cursed Isles has been weakened.”

"Darkness will sweep across the entire continent, Su Bai. Your human destiny is destined for destruction!"

"And you, Su Bai—"

"It is the source of all disaster!"

Hahahaha!

After bursts of maniacal laughter, the body of the Lord of Darkness gradually turned into black fluff, just like those dark creatures.

Su Bai frowned slightly as he watched the Lord of Darkness's body begin to dissipate.

"Do you understand what it means for the seal to loosen, Mr. Guo?"

Old Guo pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head.

"Although the old man did some research, his understanding of the Cursed Islands is not very comprehensive."

“We can talk about these things later. Right now, the most important thing is to save Zhenguo.”

All eyes turned to the Dark Lord, who had vanished into thin air.

Where it disappeared, a black obsidian appeared in the sky.

Heart of Darkness

[Quality: Legendary]

[Description: The dark essence condensed from the purest dark energy in the world]

[Effect: Can dissolve and attract all dark energy]

Su Bai retrieved the Heart of Darkness and held it in his hand, his worries about Colonel Wang vanishing completely.

"Great! With the Heart of Darkness, Colonel Wang is saved!"

With the Heart of Darkness in hand, the dark creatures of the Cursed Isles have vanished into the shadows, and the dense black mist has disappeared.

This trip to the Cursed Islands was definitely worthwhile.

Just as everyone was taking a short rest and preparing to return to their territory.

The outer islands of the Cursed Islands shone brightly, and several powerful auras descended upon the Cursed Islands out of thin air.

"Hahahaha, I never expected this! I never expected that you, Su Bai, would actually survive the Lord of Darkness!"

"That's fine. Now that you're in my hands, I'll make sure you suffer a fate worse than death, washing away the humiliation of our U.S. Far East Military District!"

That familiar, disdainful laughter belonged to William, the commander of the U.S. Far East Command, who had suffered a humiliating defeat in the desolate wilderness yesterday.

He stood on the island, staring coldly at Su Bai.

Seeing the nearly full-strength giant legion behind William, Su Bai's heart sank.

"Old man William, although I didn't bring enough troops today, if I want to leave, do you think you can stop me with your bunch of nobodies?"

Old Guo squinted and glanced indifferently at William's giant legion.

He brought the elite of the Dragon Legion today; even if their numbers are insufficient, breaking through will not be difficult.

William laughed even more wildly.

He clapped his hands together.

Another legion appeared in the sky.

The Gryphon Legion.

He was a lord of the Japanese kingdom.

Su Bai glanced at it and saw that the level had reached level 88.

The reason the Gryphon Legion wasn't discovered is because high-level Gryphons have the talent for stealth, allowing them to completely conceal their presence in the sky.

It can be said that it perfectly matches the treacherous and petty characteristics of the Japanese.

"Su Bai, today, even without Commander William's intervention, my Gryphon Legion can cut off your head!"

The moment this Japanese lord appeared, he immediately put on a show of fatherly affection, making a strong impression on William.

"You Japanese are really shameless, acting like dogs for others and doing it so openly," Su Bai sneered.

"William, you're really shameless, even bringing your own dog along when you resort to dirty tricks."

"Baka yarou!"

"Xi Ba, Su Bai, how dare you insult General William! My Great Hanming Kingdom hereby declares war on you!"

A kimchi-scented sound rose from the sea, accompanied by an army of three-headed hydra-lizards.

There's no need to guess; this legion belongs to South Korea.

The one in command was a level 89 lord.

Similarly, the three-headed hydra also has the talent to dive underwater, which can help it avoid detection.

It can be said that the United States went to great lengths for this ambush.

The total number of the three legions has reached one million.

They encircled the dragon legion of over 100,000.

Complete annihilation by sheer military force.

"Su Bai, and of course Guo Jing, thank you so much."

"If it weren't for you dispelling the black mist and killing the Lord of Darkness, we probably wouldn't have been able to enter the Cursed Islands."

"As a token of our gratitude, let the Cursed Isles become your burial ground!"

Old Guo's face turned completely black.

"William, how dare you!"

"Do you know that your ambush of our Dragon Kingdom Legion has violated international regulations?"

"Aren't you afraid of triggering a large-scale national war?!"

William clapped, seemingly unconcerned.

"Fine, fine, then I'll let you die knowing why."

"This is the Cursed Isles, where there are no lords from other countries. Your entire army has been wiped out today, and who has any evidence to prove that we were responsible?"

"On the contrary, we will produce evidence that you were surrounded and killed by the Lord of Darkness and dark creatures in the Cursed Isles."

"Then we Americans acted bravely and righteously. Although we couldn't save you, we killed the Lord of Darkness and avenged you."

"At that time, I'm afraid your Dragon Country won't just refrain from seeking revenge against the United States, but will instead be grateful, right?"

William, his face flushed with excitement, seemed to see himself becoming an American hero.

The sycophantic lords of the Korean and Japanese kingdoms exchanged wicked smiles, emboldened by their power.

"Okay, we'll ask the Dragon Kingdom for some resources later as a reward for our hard work."

"Hahaha, with the commander of the Imperial Capital Military Region gone, do we still need to fear the Eastern Army of the Dragon Kingdom? General William will definitely lead the heavenly troops of the Far East Military Region to wipe out the Dragon Kingdom!"

In their eyes, Su Bai and Guo Jing were already trapped with no way out, as the entire army, navy, and air force were now composed of elite troops.

Moreover, Guo Jing and the Dragon Legion have already expended a great deal of energy fighting against the Lord of Darkness and the dark creatures.

Hearing their laughter, Zhao Ganwu gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Damn it, I've never seen such despicable and shameless scoundrels in my life!"

"It's utterly shameless. They launch a sneak attack with great fanfare, and then pretend to be a righteous army afterward."

"Your country of Dragons has an old saying: 'The victor is king, the loser is villain.' This is the price of the weak!"

At William's command, the Giant Legion, the Three-Headed Hydra Legion, and the Gryphon Legion appeared.

They all lined up, and the encirclement tightened instantly, becoming truly impenetrable.

This time, the situation had completely turned into a dead end.
