Chapter 273 These guards also have to fight monsters part-time
"Do it."
Following an order, the surrounding mermaids slapped the water's surface with their tails, and the whole person was like an arrow shot from a bow, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the bone spears and stone halberds in their hands pierced straight into the vital points of the Dragon Shadow Guards.
"Form a formation."
Captain Longying shouted angrily.
The twenty dragon shadows moved instantly, and the long swords in their hands danced into a sword net, forming a circular formation with both offensive and defensive capabilities. The clanging sound of weapons clashing instantly filled the air.
Xiao Yu didn't even raise his eyelids, his eyes were always fixed on the female mermaid.
The mermaid also did not move. On the trident in her hand, the blue water element energy was gathering madly, forming a high-speed rotating water ball.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader.
As long as they get rid of this man with the most terrifying aura in front of them, the rest of the people will be trapped.
"Buzz—"
Without warning, a wave of evil energy swept in from the depths of the island.
Everyone's movements stopped at this moment. They felt like being pressed down by a mountain, with difficulty breathing and blood boiling.
"What's this?"
Chu Xuanyi's expression changed instantly, and he stared at the direction where the energy came from.
"What a filthy, evil smell."
"This feeling... is even more bizarre than the puppet we encountered in Mount Buzhou."
The mermaid's face also turned pale, and the energy water ball in her hand dissipated with a "bang".
"impossible."
"That thing...how could that thing break through the seal?"
"roar--"
A roar came from the depths of the distant mountains.
Immediately afterwards, the earth began to shake violently.
In the distant forest, countless rare birds and beasts let out cries of terror and scrambled to flee towards the seaside.
"Captain Ling, something bad has happened."
A merman rushed out from the forest at a high speed, his face full of panic and even his voice was trembling.
"The Holy Spring... the seal of the Holy Spring has been broken."
"That polluted mirage dragon, it...it escaped and is attacking our village."
"What?"
Captain Ling turned around abruptly, and for the first time, his ice-blue eyes were filled with anxiety and panic.
"Everyone, return to support immediately."
She swung her huge fish tail violently, and her whole body turned into a silver stream of light, rushing back towards the village.
The rest of the mermaids followed closely behind.
"This is trouble."
Chu Xuanyi looked at their departing backs, then looked at the evil black energy rising into the sky, his brows furrowed.
"Your Majesty, it looks like things are not peaceful on this island."
"To make these powerful mermaids so panicked, they must have encountered a huge trouble."
"Follow and see."
Xiao Yu said lightly, and followed slowly.
When they passed through the dense forest and arrived at the outskirts of the mermaid village, the scene before them made everyone gasp.
The so-called village is actually a group of buildings built with huge corals and pearls.
However, at this moment, a giant beast as big as a hill was wreaking havoc in the village.
The beast's body was covered in a sticky, oil-like black substance, with countless twisted runes faintly visible on its black shell. Its eyes were two empty, bloody holes, constantly oozing black pus. Rotting tentacles extended from all parts of its body, frantically lashing at everything around it.
"Is this the polluted ancient beast?" A Dragon Shadow Guard swallowed hard. "This thing crawled out of hell."
The patrol team led by Captain Ling has already engaged in battle with the demonized mirage dragon.
Dozens of mermaids surrounded the giant beast and continued to attack. They controlled the water flow to transform into sharp ice cones, which bombarded the mirage dragon fiercely.
These attacks landed on the black shell of the mirage dragon, only creating ripples and causing no substantial damage.
Instead, the mirage dragon was completely enraged.
It roared suddenly, and a dozen rotten tentacles swept out with the force of thunder.
“Puff, puff, puff.”
Several mermaids who were unable to dodge were hit by the tentacles, their scales shattered instantly, blood spurted from their mouths, and they flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, obviously not going to survive.
"Water God Formation."
Captain Ling shouted sternly.
The surviving mermaids immediately changed their formation, and the vast water elemental energy surged out of their bodies, gathering in mid-air to form a huge goddess phantom made of sea water.
The goddess's shadow raised her hands high, and a thick blue beam of light slammed heavily on the head of the demonized mirage dragon.
"roar."
The mirage dragon let out a roar, and the black substance on its body sizzled and emitted bursts of black smoke.
“It works.”
A young merman shouted in surprise.
However, she didn't finish her words.
The mirage dragon's body shook violently, and a demonic energy even more violent than before burst out from its body.
"boom."
The shadow of the water god in the air was shattered to pieces under the impact of this evil energy, without even a breath of life remaining.
All the mermaids participating in the formation spat out blood and collapsed to the ground.
It's over.
A look of despair appeared in Captain Ling's eyes.
At this moment, the demonized mirage dragon that had broken free from its restraints had already locked its two empty blood holes on her body.
A tentacle as thick as a house came down with a whistling sound, and she was no longer able to dodge.
At this critical moment.
A figure instantly appeared in front of Captain Ling.
"Your Majesty."
Chu Xuanyi exclaimed in surprise.
There was no expression on Xiao Yu's face as he slowly raised the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand.
He swung his sword.
The huge tentacle was split into two the moment it touched the sword, and black blood gushed out like a waterfall.
"Roar." The mirage dragon roared in pain.
This sudden scene shocked all the surviving mermaids.
Captain Ling stared blankly at the figure standing in front of him, and for a moment he forgot how to react.
"What are you standing there for?" Xiao Yu's cold voice came from the front.
"If you want to live, take your men and retreat."
"You..." Captain Ling's lips moved.
"Your Highness, this thing is brimming with demonic energy. Ordinary attacks won't have much effect on it." Chu Xuanyi's voice came from not far away. He had already circled to the other side with the Dragon Shadow Guards without anyone noticing. "I need a moment to set up a purification array to weaken the demonic energy within it. Help me hold it back."
"good."
He tiptoed and turned into a flash of lightning, rushing towards the mad demonic mirage dragon.
The mirage dragon seemed to be enraged. Dozens of tentacles, along with the poisonous mist that could corrode everything, covered Xiao Yu like a flood.
However, the awe-inspiring righteousness attached to the Dragon Roar Sword is the nemesis of these filthy monsters.
For a moment, black blood splattered everywhere, and the huge mirage dragon was actually restrained by him alone.
Chu Xuanyi took out dozens of talisman papers covered with golden runes from his arms, formed seals with his hands, and muttered something.
"The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the law."
"All righteous people, obey my command."
"The divine mantra of Purifying Heaven begins."
He threw the talisman in his hand into the sky.
Those talisman papers spontaneously combusted without fire and turned into golden ancient runes that were imprinted on the ground, forming a huge magic circle emitting brilliant golden light, which just enveloped the entire demonized mirage dragon.
“Zizizizi…”
Illuminated by the golden light of the magic circle, the black evil spirit on the mirage dragon began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its struggle became weaker and weaker.
"Now." Chu Xuanyi shouted.
A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes, and he soared into the sky, pouring all his strength into the Dragon Roar Sword.
"hold head high."
A deafening roar of a true dragon erupted from the sword, and a golden dragon phantom formed by sword energy appeared behind him.
"break."
As he swung his sword, the golden dragon slammed heavily into the head of the demonized mirage dragon.
“Boom.”
After a loud bang, the huge body of the ancient ferocious beast shattered into pieces, and finally turned into ashes in the golden light of the purification magic circle.
The battle is over.
Xiao Yu slowly landed on the ground, put away his sword and stood up, his black clothes still spotless.
Chu Xuanyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, let out a long sigh and dispelled the magic circle.
