Deathwing's once majestic wings, which once covered the sky and blocked out the sun, were now gone. Without the support and balance of his wings, his huge body became difficult to control, swaying in the air, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment. It was undoubtedly a distant and unattainable luxury to soar in the sky and fight bravely as he once did.
Meanwhile, Su Yan clutched the mighty Ten Directions Sword, its blade gleaming with cold light, revealing boundless murderous intent. However, he didn't unleash his full strength right away. Instead, he deftly employed his swordsmanship, continuously unleashing a variety of techniques to seal off the spacetime ahead. Each strike carried a sharp, piercing aura, like weaving an impenetrable net, enveloping Deathwing.
At this moment, Deathwing was surrounded by a raging, terrifying gale. These gales were like countless ferocious dragons, swooping down on him with bared fangs and claws. Faced with such a fierce attack, Deathwing was forced to devote all his energy to resisting the gale, leaving him no time to think about anything else.
At this moment, Su Yan keenly sensed an opportunity. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing Deathwing's seemingly indestructible form. He quickly spotted a flaw in Deathwing's chest—a spot where, due to the intense battle, the defense had slackened, exposing a weakness. For a warrior of their level, even the slightest oversight could have fatal consequences, and once a mistake was made, there was often no way to recover.
In a flash, Su Yan's figure flashed, transforming into a barely discernible afterimage. With lightning speed, he charged towards Deathwing, Ten Directions Sword in hand. Instantly, a devastating force surged from his body, reaching a staggering million times its original power! This force converged on the Ten Directions Sword, adding even more power to the already incredibly sharp blade.
Deathwing didn't even have time to react before a dull "puff" thud was heard. The Ten-Direction Sword easily pierced through his defenses, like a hot knife cutting through butter, piercing straight through his chest. Immediately afterwards, crimson blood gushed out of the wound like a flood, staining the sky red.
Deathwing's massive body crashed to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. His eyes, once filled with majesty and power, were now wide open, filled with disbelief. He could never have imagined that a being as powerful as himself could be forced into such a desperate situation by a mere goblin, practically standing on the brink of death.
Su Yan slowly pulled out the Ten Directions Sword that had been stabbed into Deathwing's body. The blade gleamed with a cold light, as if still lingering with the warmth of the intense battle. He glanced at Deathwing expressionlessly and said coldly, "Why are you doing this? Just because I accidentally stepped into your territory, you're going to kill me?"
Deathwing still stared at Su Yan intently. Although his life was slipping away rapidly, his eyes still revealed a hint of unwillingness and resentment. He gnashed his teeth and roared, "Kill me! You will regret it!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan snorted disdainfully, "What I fear least is threats!" He then didn't immediately deliver the final blow to Deathwing, ending his life. While Deathwing's body was incredibly sturdy, making ordinary attacks unlikely to inflict fatal damage, Su Yan knew the beast's heart had long been shattered by his own attack. Now, it was barely surviving, no longer posing any threat to him. Death was only a matter of time.
"Are you sure you want to kill him?" A deep, commanding voice suddenly rang out, as if descending from ancient times, carrying with it an immense mystery and pressure. Su Yan's heart trembled, and he suddenly looked up to see a gigantic, fiery-red dragon suddenly appear in the sky. Its body was sinuous, and its scales shimmered with a dazzling light, like a burning flame.
With a flash of strange light, the giant red dragon suddenly transformed into a humanoid form, landing steadily in front of Su Yan. She was graceful, clad in a gorgeous suit of red armor, and looked majestic. Particularly striking was the pair of crystal-clear dragon horns atop her head, emitting a terrifying aura.
"Who are you?" Su Yan widened his eyes and looked at the dragon girl in front of him with extraordinary temperament in astonishment, his heart full of doubts and curiosity.
Alexstrasza narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Su Yan with a piercing gaze. She slowly spoke, "I am the guardian dragon of this land, responsible for protecting the world's peace and tranquility. However, the one known as Deathwing shamelessly betrayed us, bringing great disaster to the entire world. Unfortunately, the power behind him is too great, leaving us in a very passive position."
Su Yan frowned, staring intently at the Dragon Girl before him, and demanded, "What is the power behind him? Why does it make you so fearful?"
Alexstrasza took a deep breath, her eyes growing more serious. She spoke word by word, "Have you ever heard of the Old Gods? Those evil, ancient beings possess dark power beyond imagination. It is they who secretly support Deathwing, allowing him to wreak havoc on the world with impunity. Facing such a powerful enemy, we must deal with it with caution. A single carelessness could lead to eternal damnation."
In ancient times, the legendary gods were feared and revered by the world, but to the powerful and proud Shalltear, they were nothing more than a group of insignificant insects, unworthy of being called gods. She clutched the gleaming spear in her hand and leaped up from below with a nimble gesture, appearing steadily beside Su Yan.
At that moment, Alexstrasza's sharp gaze immediately shifted to the mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared—Shalltear. She frowned slightly, her tone tinged with suspicion and caution. "It's truly astonishing that a woman like you knows so much about the Old Gods! Moreover, I've never seen you before. Where do you come from?"
Shalltear met Alexstrasza's gaze fearlessly and replied calmly, "The Great Tomb!" Hearing this name, Alexstrasza narrowed her eyes and pondered inwardly.
After a moment, Alexstrasza spoke, "So you're one of Bone King's men! In that case, I wonder if you'd be willing to lend us a hand and jointly defeat this formidable foe. If you're willing to help, I, on behalf of the entire dragon clan, would like to express my sincere gratitude to you." However, Shalltear didn't directly respond to her request. Instead, she turned to Su Yan beside her and said, "That depends on whether you dragons are willing to submit to him. If so, I will naturally help!"
Hearing this, Alexstrasza turned her gaze towards Su Yan. Her eyes remained calm, as if unperturbed. But her words were firm and powerful: "As long as he has enough strength to defeat me, the dragon race will willingly submit to him."
