Yan Liu's colorless lips pressed against his neck, which was burning hot.
She could feel him trembling, and blood was dripping down his skirt. She seemed oblivious to the pain and chuckled, teasing, "Little golden dragon cub, why are you trembling? I was just scratched by those useless little devils, I'm not dead."
Cangying's wide, crimson robe was stained with her blood, making the robe appear even darker. His heart felt as if it were being gripped and torn apart by an invisible hand, causing excruciating pain.
His hand pressed against the back of her head, trembling slightly as he tightened his grip, afraid of hurting her and causing her to bleed more. His voice was trembling and strained: "Yanyan, bite me, drink my blood."
Yanliu was stunned and wanted to look at him, but he pressed down on the back of her head, pinning her down on his neck and pulse, as if he wouldn't let go unless she bit him or drank his blood.
Her lips were pressed tightly against his neck, but she didn't bite him or drink his blood. She asked teasingly, "Little golden dragon cub, call me Yanyan. Have you been drinking again?"
Cangying tightened his grip on her arm and hand: "No, I didn't drink. Yanyan, it's Xinyue..."
Before she could even utter the word "you," Yanliu suddenly broke free from his grasp, ripped him away, and threw him off.
Cangying was thrown off and torn apart. Yanliu used her mental power on him, and he fell straight down like a kite with a broken string.
Yanliu faced upwards, flicking out the willow branch in her hand, which almost caught Cangying's sharp claws as the Starry Sky Beast slammed down...
A single star beast, numbering in the thousands or tens of thousands of tons, suddenly appeared in the sky above the Earth. Each one was like a giant beast, flapping its enormous wings, blotting out the sky and turning the entire sky black.
As the Marshal of Earth's Protection Army, Wei Chi was in the command room directing countless shells to rise from the ground and bombard the Star Beast.
Everyone in the command center looked solemn as they gazed at the 360-degree panoramic view of the hundreds of Star Beasts captured on Earth.
Rows of fighter jets, unmanned fighter jets, and manned fighter jets took off from military bases and landed on aircraft carriers, bombing the Star Beasts in the sky.
The Starry Sky Beast is too big; one of its claws and one of its tails can knock down and overturn a fighter jet.
Sharp alarms blared continuously in the skies above the Earth, on land, and over the sea.
Every person on Earth with an identity and a supercomputer received an alert and a message to hide. Ordinary people without superpowers hid in their homes or in safe rooms.
People with supernatural abilities and zombies emerged one after another, armed with weapons, standing at the gates of their homes. Though afraid, they did not retreat.
The Starry Sky Beasts flew low overhead, their sharp claws and tails carrying immense destructive power. With a single swipe of their claws or tails, they could crush skyscrapers and carve sharp edges out of mountains, ravaging Earth's cities and forests.
Currently, only Yanliu and Cangying on Earth are capable of fighting Star Beasts in the sky.
Companion spirits have wings, and they are too weak for star beasts; coming up to them is just suicide.
Yanliu and his trees guarded the land, major cities, and major ports, protecting ordinary people from the deaths of the Star Beasts.
Quanjian, Fu Huan, guards the ocean. She is a mermaid, a merman, without wings, and cannot be strangled. They can only see the Star Beasts above the ocean luring them into the water, where they strangle them.
The Red Eyebrow Fleet members also lost their wings. Some stayed behind to guard the main city, while others boarded mechs, flew fighter jets, and joined the attack on the Star Beasts.
Si Mubei, this unreliable cat, is actually quite reliable when it comes to doing serious work.
On the connecting platform, he piloted his fighter jet and addressed the Red Eyebrows Fleet: "Brothers, this is a fucking big job. If we take them down, we will go down in Earth's history and shake the Abel system."
Gong Gong replied, "I haven't been to space for over 100 years. Today I'm going to let them know that I'm ranked 15th on the space pirate bounty list for no reason."
Yu Feifei laughed and exposed her weakness: "When a single dog talks, he barks like he doesn't care about money. You're ranked 15th on the Star Pirate Bounty List? You're clearly 25th, and I'm only ranked 15th."
Zhuo Zhi blasted the Starry Sky Beast's eyes, reminding them, "Guys, we're fighting a Starry Sky Beast, be serious! I'm ranked 21st and I haven't made a sound, so why are you ranked 25th yelling!"
The members of the Red Eyebrow Fleet, who were working together, were all connected and could hear each other. When Zhuo Zhi urged them with disdain, they said, "Calm down. I just blasted a Star Beast's tail. Damn, it almost flipped me over."
"I just blasted a claw, damn it, that claw was bigger than my fighter jet, it took me several shots to destroy it."
"I wish I had a pair of invisible wings so I could fly over and fight them hand to hand. What kind of bastards are they? Just because they're big, they're bullying people."
"Dragon, dragon, dragon! Look! A golden dragon..."
"What are you looking at? He's a golden dragon, the king of all beasts, but that doesn't include the king of the Starry Sky Beasts. The Starry Sky Beasts don't recognize him; he's not even as big as a Starry Sky Beast."
"Look, our little Yanliu is really something, she's got the air of a real daughter."
"Call for help! Call for help! Have you called for help yet? Where's that black dragon from Lingxi? Why does it always disappear at the crucial moment?"
“I shook it, I not only shook Lingxi, I also shook Xihe and His Majesty the Hunter, and I also shook the orc Dapeng Jialuo Xuanqing family of three.”
Hu Xian said, "I shook all the orcs flying in the sky, but it will take at least a day and a half for a space jump from the Abel Galaxy to the Milky Way. Hopefully, we can make it in time."
"What do you mean 'not in time'? It has to be in time!" Si Mubei cursed, disdainfully saying, "Fox, aren't you the prophet of the orc race? Don't you always know how to predict the future? Such a huge disaster on Earth, didn't you foresee it?"
Others chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, you fox spirit, you've been eating, drinking, living, and getting free meals on Earth every day, how come you didn't foresee such a huge disaster on Earth?"
"Tell me, are you a fraud? Are you a counterfeit?"
Hu Xian: "!!!!"
He was truly wronged. That bastard Fu Huan told him not to make random calculations, but to go with the flow and experience the wonders and unexpected coincidences of life.
He listened and stopped making wild guesses and revealing secrets every day.
Moreover, compared to his cat, his cat has a stronger calculation ability, but his cat is lazy and doesn't take action easily.
Besides, he's not the only prophet on Earth. Fu Huan and Cangying are charlatans too, they didn't foresee today's disaster.
Why are you calling him a fraud here? You've completely forgotten about the other two bastards. Being with this group of people really makes me furious.
Yan Liu was covered in blood, her beautiful face stained with blood. She cut off one of the Starry Sky Beast's claws and used the willow branches to leap onto the Starry Sky Beast's broad back.
She stood on the massive body of the Starry Sky Beast, and with a backhand, she inserted the willow branch in her hand into the Starry Sky Beast's body. The willow branch inserted into the Starry Sky Beast's body branched out into countless twigs, firmly binding the Starry Sky Beast.
The Starry Sky Beast roared in pain and thrashed its body, trying to throw Yan Liu off.
Yan Liu stood firmly on the body of the Starry Sky Beast, as if nailed to the ground. No matter how the beast swayed or shook its body, it couldn't shake her off.
The blood of the Starry Sky Beast flowed down her branches, replenishing her flesh, which gradually withered and shriveled before the naked eye.
Cangying let out a dragon's roar, its dragon body piercing through the clouds. Using its massive body and sharp claws, it grabbed at the other Starry Sky Beasts that the Starry Sky Beast had summoned from Yanliu's feet.
Compared to the Starry Sky Beasts weighing tens of thousands of tons, Cangying, a dragon weighing just over ten tons, appears exceptionally small and insignificant.
Yan Liu looked up, her blood-stained skirt fluttering in the wind. Above her head, the sharp claws of a giant dragon tore through the flesh of the Starry Sky Beast.
The blood of the Star Beast fell, much like a red rain of blood falling from the sky.
Below, the willow branches fell like rain of blood, and her willow branches shot straight into the sky, piercing the body of the star beast that had been clawed by the golden dragon.
The enormous Star Beast's heart was pierced, and it let out a roar that resounded through the sky, attracting cries from many other Star Beasts. In an instant, Earth was enveloped in the roars and howls of the Star Beasts.
The Starry Sky Beast beneath Yanliu's feet turned into a pile of withered bones, which fell downwards, while the branches caught the injured Starry Sky Beast as it fell.
A golden dragon soared through the sky, fending off the star beasts that were heading her way.
Yan Liu swung a branch at the nearest Star Beast, encircling it and piercing its body. Using its massive size, she leaped into the air and landed on the giant Star Beast. She then flung countless branches at the Star Beasts around her that were being defended by the dragon.
The slender branches, like sharp knives and swords, once they entangled and pierced through the Starry Sky Beast, would not let go, devouring its flesh and blood.
She was killing and replenishing her supplies as she went, but... there were too many Star Beasts, big and large. She ate a few and drank a few of their blood, but the wounds she had inflicted by the Star Beasts had not fully healed.
Even her own mental energy, used to heal herself, couldn't heal the wound. After all, it was a behemoth from the vast universe, its hide as hard as iron, having suffered greatly from the ravages of dark matter in the cosmos. The nutrients within it were less than a single drop of blood from the little golden dragon cub.
Hundreds of Star Beasts are scattered across the skies above various parts of the Earth, flying at low altitudes, destroying buildings, and damaging the Earth's mountains and ecosystems.
Yanliu wiped the blood from her face, stood on the fallen Star Beast, and called out, "Cangying!"
Hearing her call, the golden dragon turned its massive body and came toward her.
Yan Liu used the falling star beast as a running start, leaping up and landing on the dragon. Her blood dripped down her skirt onto the dragon scales, staining the golden scales crimson.
The hurricane in the sky lifted her skirt as she stood on the dragon's body and said to the dragon's head, "Go to the place with the most star beasts."
Upon hearing her words, the dragon swayed its tail and followed her lead, its roar echoing loudly, drowning out the furious cries of the Starry Sky Beast.
The star beasts, flying low in the sky, use their claws, bellies, and tails to sweep across skyscrapers, snatch running people, and swallow them whole.
The dragons roared and swept across their bodies, while Yan Liu seized the opportunity to pierce them with willow branches, crushing their hearts and their internal organs.
A colossal object fell from the sky, crashing into the city with a deafening roar, collapsing countless skyscrapers and causing the earth to tremble.
In order to drive away the Starry Sky Beasts that were approaching the city, Yanliu abandoned the dragon's back and jumped onto the Starry Sky Beast's body.
Standing on the back of the Star Beast, she prepared to begin hunting down the surrounding Star Beasts.
Unexpectedly... the willow branch that darted out was caught in the bite of the Starry Sky Beast.
She immediately broke off a willow branch, and as she dodged the second one, the Starry Sky Beast's long tail lashed out at her. She focused her spiritual power into a blade and slashed at the Starry Sky Beast's tail.
Too close, too close. The blade, made of mental energy, struck the Starry Sky Beast's tail, and the Starry Sky Beast's tail lashed out in response.
A severed tail and endless bloodshed rushed toward her.
Yan Liu was hit on the body by the Starry Sky Beast's tail, and the broken Starry Sky Beast's tail weighed several tons.
Her small body was hit, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. Without any support, her body fell from the sky like a shooting star.
To avenge its severed tail, the Starry Sky Beast roared and lunged at her with its massive body and enormous claws.
The golden dragon was blocked by several other star beasts. The king of all beasts, the overlord of the sky, and the overlord of the ocean—these giant star beasts were unable to find a breakthrough for a while.
Severely injured, Yan Liu's mouth was gushing blood. His mental energy was scattered, and the Yan Liu sticks he flung out were no longer sharp as blades, but became soft and powerless, unable to harm the Starry Sky Beast.
With a thud, Yanliu crashed heavily to the ground from the sky, clutching her chest and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. She felt that many branches had broken off from her trunk.
Damn, this beast is really powerful.
She is far inferior to her master.
Back in the day, when the master hunted down the three of them, they killed two or three hundred Starry Sky Beasts without anyone getting hurt, and the energy they ate almost exploded.
Unexpectedly, after more than 100 years, she, now an adult, is not nearly as powerful as she was when she was still a child and in the hands of her master. She is truly getting worse with age.
No way, I have to get my revenge, otherwise I'll lose too much face.
Yan Liu braced herself on the ground, preparing to get up, but her injuries were too severe, and she couldn't get up.
The Star Beast, its tail cut off, descended from the sky, its enormous claws stomping down on her.
Yan Liu's pupils constricted, and enduring the excruciating pain, she rolled awkwardly on the ground to dodge.
A single Star Beast weighs at least several thousand tons, and sometimes tens of thousands of tons; one of its large claws alone weighs several tons.
The first claw struck, and Yanliu barely dodged it.
The second paw slammed down again, just like swatting a whack-a-mole.
Yanliu felt as if her main body had broken, because in her human form, it felt as if several bones were broken.
As the second claw struck, she couldn't dodge it. She covered her head with her arms, curled up, and met the inescapable claw of the Starry Sky Beast.
There was no sudden pain, no disheveled feeling of being crushed to the ground by the claws of the Starry Sky Beast.
Yan Liu slowly raised her head and opened her eyes, seeing Cangying standing in front of her, using his chest to create space for her and his back to block the Starry Sky Beast's claws from falling.
His handsome, otherworldly face was stained with blood, and his golden eyes stared unblinkingly at Yan Liu. When he saw her looking at him, he slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Yan...Lord Yan Liu, are you alright?"
He was no longer young and could not be with her forever. He realized that he loved her, but he forced himself to restrain and suppress it. He hid his love for her in his heart, year after year, day after day.
I caught her as she fell from the sky, injured, and my heart almost stopped beating. I wanted to tell her that I loved her, but the Star Beast interrupted me, and my love remained unspoken.
Now that his dragon bones are broken, he can't be so selfish. He can't let Yanliu feel guilty because he saved her, and he can't let her be unable to forget him for the rest of her life. He can't let his love for her, which was about to be expressed, come to an abrupt end.
Yanliu shook her head: "I'm fine, how about you?"
Cangying gave a slight smile and said, "I'm fine too."
He's alright, except his dragon bones are completely broken.
With a loud bang, the G48 missile struck the Star Beast and exploded.
Half of the Starry Sky Beast's body was blown apart, its head tilted to the side as it fell to the ground, letting out a mournful cry, and the claws that had been slapping Cangying fell away.
Cangying felt a sudden lightness in his body. He knelt on one knee in front of Yanliu, suppressing the blood in his throat and swallowing it down without spitting it out.
Yan Liu reached out to help him up: "Little golden dragon cub, are you... really alright?"
Cangying dared not touch her hand, so he gripped her hand tightly and pressed her head against his neck again. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth in her blind spot.
He tried his best to keep his voice from being affected by the bleeding and broken dragon bones: "I'm fine, but you are. You said that my dragon blood would be a great tonic for you."
"There are still several hundred Star Beasts. You are the ruler of the land and the guardian of the earth. Now, only you can defeat the Star Beasts, and only I can make your injuries heal quickly."
"You...drink my blood! Tens of millions of people on Earth are waiting for you. We can't let the Star Beast destroy Earth and ruin your centuries of hard work."
Yan Liu's lips pressed against his neck. Despite being covered in blood and grime, she still couldn't resist teasing him: "Little golden dragon cub, you truly deserve to be called the High Priest of the Deep Sea who cares for his people. Even at a time like this, you still advise me to prioritize the greater good."
Blood kept spilling from the corner of Cangying's mouth: "It's not that I care about my people, but that any ruler of a planet should think about their people and their planet."
"Lord Yan...Lord Yanliu, you are an excellent ruler. You must protect your planet, you must protect your people..."
Yan Liu interrupted him: "I know, I know, you're rambling on like a monk. This time I'll bite you and drink your blood, and I might drink a lot, about 5 cups of blood."
Cangying raised the hand with the broken dragon bone and slowly pressed it on the back of her head. "I am very healthy now. You can drink 10 cups of blood."
Yan Liu laughed and said, "You're making me drink 10 cups of blood, are you not planning to make a move?"
Hearing her laughter, Cangying forced a smile through his bleeding lips: "Yes, that's my plan. I'll give you 10 cups of blood, and then I won't do anything."
Yan Liu smiled warmly: "Alright, since you saved me, I'll drink your blood without you having to lift a finger."
Cangying's voice trailed off: "Alright!"
Yan Liu heard him reply "okay" and then bit down on the large vein on his neck.
The purest and most yang dragon blood, carrying boundless energy, entered her body through her mouth.
She is a willow tree, embodying yin, and a dragon's blood, embodying yang.
When the most yang element encounters the most yin element, it merges with her body, nourishing her body like a divine medicine, allowing her broken trunk and branches to be repaired and flourish.
Cangying knelt on one knee, with Yanliu in front of him, between his knees. He had one arm around her waist and the other hand around the back of her head. His hoarse voice was full of seduction, urging her to drink more, to drink more.
Following his words and his persuasion, Yanliu actually drank more. By the time she finished drinking, Cangying had just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and let go of her hand.
Nourished and replenished by the dragon's blood, Yan Liu, though in a sorry state, possessed a visibly powerful and surging spiritual energy, and her aura was even stronger than before.
Cangying's wide robe and sleeves concealed the blood dripping onto the ground. He knelt on one knee, looking at her, urging her: "Your Excellency Yanliu, there is no time to lose. Go and drive away the Starry Sky Beasts."
Yanliu looked at him: "Are you really alright..."
She now suspects that he can't say he's alright because he doesn't want her to see him die.
Cangying blinked slightly: "Something has come up. I might have broken my leg, so I can't go with you to hunt down the Star Beasts."
Yan Liu said, "I'll treat you..."
Cangying grabbed her hand, pulled a golden dragon whip from his spatial storage, and shoved it into her hand. "This is my weapon, forged from my scales. Take it, hunt down the Starry Sky Beasts, drive them away, and then come back to heal me. I'll be waiting for you!"
His dragon parents were very loving and destined for each other. His weapon, the Dragon Whip, was made from the dragon bones of his dragon parents.
They were nearly a thousand years old when they had him, when they gave birth to him.
She gave birth to him, nurtured him, and passed away less than 50 years later.
They felt sorry for him, for not being able to stay with him until he was 100 years old, so they asked the other dragons to use their dragon bones to make him a weapon after they died, to protect him.
When he fought the hunter, his dragon whip was pierced. He repaired it with his own scales and reforged it. So his weapon carries the power of his dragon father and mother, as well as his powerful remaining spiritual energy, and is given to her to protect her.
Yan Liu held the Dragon-Slaying Whip, a hard whip. She stood up, flicked her wrist, and could use it as a sword or spear when it was hard, or as a whip when it was soft. It could also be flung out for hundreds of meters.
Cangying watched her crack the whip, still kneeling on one knee. His dragon bones were broken, yet he embraced her, took the whip for her, and suppressed the surging blood, using all his strength.
He couldn't stand up to show her and tell her that he was okay.
Yanliu tested the whip, then looked down at him and said, "Little Golden Dragon cub, wait for me here. I'll come back to heal you and treat you to a drink."
Cangying raised her head, blinked gently, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled in response: "Okay, I'll wait for you. You'd better hurry up, I don't want to become a crippled dragon."
Yan Liu laughed out loud: "Okay, wait for me, I'm leaving."
Cangying told her, "Yanyan, be careful. Don't forget I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you to come back and treat my leg..."
"Understood!" Yan Liu waved her hand, kicked aside the Starry Sky Beast that wasn't quite dead yet, and ran forward, her willow branches rising up from the ground in front of her.
She suddenly leaped onto a branch, which shot into the air and headed towards the Star Beast.
Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Cangying. She saw him sitting on the ground, leaning against the ruins. He seemed unaware that she had turned to look at him. His lips moved silently, as if he wanted to say something to her, but it didn't seem like he wanted to say anything.
"roar…"
A roar from a Starry Sky Beast exploded above Yanliu, making it impossible for her to discern whether Cangying was speaking to her or not.
Holding a dragon whip in one hand and a branch in the other, she leaped onto the Starry Sky Beast above her head. The sharp dragon whip wrapped around the Starry Sky Beast's neck, and with a forceful slash, she severed its throat. It was exceptionally effective.
With her own branches, Yanliu wielded the whip with ease, cutting down a Starry Sky Beast as easily as slicing a cabbage. She would cut one down and then move on to another. For Starry Sky Beasts that flew low and threatened to destroy cities, she would kill them with a single whip.
After a day and a half of relentless hunting by Yan Liu, hundreds of Starry Sky Beasts arrived on Earth, accompanied by Ling Xi, Jiang Dandan, Liesha, Jiang Yihe, He Yan, and the raptors of the Orc race.
Their arrival meant that all of the remaining 200-plus Star Beasts perished on Earth, hunted down by them.
Yanliu was covered in blood. Without even changing her clothes, she wiped the blood off her face and went to find Cangying to treat her leg.
However, what she saw was not Cangying, but a blood-soaked golden dragon. The golden dragon's head leaned against the ruins, with more than a dozen cups of dragon blood in front of it. The dragon's forepaws had torn flesh, exposing the dragon bones, and the dragon blood had dried up.
Yan Liu walked over step by step, unable to see Quan Jian Fu Huan standing next to the big golden dragon, or another white-haired young man.
Yan Liu walked up to the blood-soaked golden dragon. The blood on his dragon scales had dried, and he no longer looked like a golden dragon, but rather like a red dragon stained with blood.
Yanliu looked at him, her dragon whip planted on the ground. She slowly squatted down and reached out her slightly trembling hand to touch his dragon head. "Little golden dragon cub, you...you only lost one leg, how did you revert to your original form and get yourself into such a sorry state, covered in blood?"
The dragon's head was cold, and there was no breath on its nose.
Yan Liu suddenly burst out laughing: "Little golden dragon brat, you promised to treat me to drinks when I got back. Are you chickening out? Are you scared? Afraid of getting drunk and acting like a spoiled brat, like a little kid!"
Quanjian cried until her eyes were red and her voice choked with sobs: "Beautiful Yanliu, my High Priest is dead. He can no longer drink with you. This dragon blood is what he left for you."
Yan Liu turned her head to look at the spring, then fell back down, looking at the cups filled with blood in front of her. There were more than a dozen cups, as if he had put all his blood into the cups before he died, leaving it for her.
Yanliu's hand fell to her side. She picked up the cup of blood and said with a bitter smile, "I really didn't expect that the little golden dragon cub would leave me with so much blood even though he's dead."
"Besides the dragon blood, what else did he say?"
Standing next to Fu Huan, a young man with white hair and wearing a black, wide-sleeved robe stepped forward. "Lord Yanliu, besides giving you all of Senior Cangying's dragon blood, he also left a will that his dragon corpse be given to you, hoping to be buried under your willow tree!"
