Chapter 221 The Fallen Red Dragon (asking for monthly tickets)
On the island where the Whale Mouth Tunnel is located, Li Qingping and the five members of the Wang Ting team crushed the generation-level wonders in their hands.
At the same time, six orange light streaks flashed in the air.
The twilight that enveloped the small garden was blown away by the strong wind. The sky of the small garden became as clear as water. The figure of a giant ochre-red dragon rose into the sky in an instant, and the dragon's eyes forged by angry flames shone brightly.
The scales opened and closed like clanging cymbals, hot steam squeezed out from the gaps, and wings that fluttered like embers spread out from behind, casting a shadow that blocked out the island.
With a sound of breaking air, a huge tower suddenly fell from the sky and smashed onto the body of the giant dragon.
Li Qingping stood in the center of the island, with the huge dragon shadow looming over him flapping its wings and its huge claws resting on the Tower of Babel that fell from the sky.
The raging flames that swung out from the dragon's tail swept across the entire world, and together with its claws, it rushed towards the giant tower above. The tower was overturned to the ground, creating a gully with a radius of tens of meters, which was deeply embedded in the ground.
But another four generation-level missiles followed one after another, and the Titanic rose from the ground; the hundreds of ghosts walking at night beat drums and gongs, and swept over in an overwhelming manner. The giant shadow of the Yamata no Orochi roared to the sky behind the ghost group; the Sword in the Stone burst into golden ripples in Ryan's hand; a huge meteorite fell from the sky overhead, and the heat energy in the air increased sharply.
The red dragon roared, opened its huge mouth, spread its wings and crashed into the huge shadow of the oncoming ghost ship.
The dragon's tail swept out from the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and raging flames broke through the dust like a tornado, sweeping over, engulfing the hundreds of ghosts who were beating drums and gongs, and then evaporated the sea water outside the island.
But the next second, a red meteorite fell from the sky and turned into an unprecedented explosion.
The whole world dimmed at that moment, as if returning to the darkness at the beginning of the world.
The Red Dragon rammed the oncoming Titanic and Yamata-no-Orochi, and seized the last second to use its giant wings to shield its head, trying to block the meteorite fragments that were exploding like a rainstorm.
Ryan stomped his feet while holding the Sword in the Stone, and dashed between the giants on the island like a gust of wind and lightning.
He leaped over the collapsed Tower of Babel, stepped on the tower and bounced towards the Titanic, crossed the broken deck, stomped on the crooked mast and shot forward, leaped from the bow, and finally jumped towards the red dragon with its wings covering its head. In the oncoming strong wind, wisps of angry flames danced, and Ryan lifted his white robe to block the flames.
The moment he passed through the flame curtain, he raised his hand high and slashed out with the Sword in the Stone in his hand!
The golden sword light moved forward, and disappeared in a flash. After a brief silence, a neat crack suddenly appeared on the dragon's wing, which was already riddled with holes from the meteorite explosion.
Then, with a "click" sound, the crack suddenly expanded like a collapsing canyon, and the giant wing broke off and collapsed uncontrollably! Like a collapsed high-rise building falling to the ground, the huge dragon wing smashed a huge pit on the island.
The remaining flames on the dragon's wings eroded the vast land, turning it into a charred hellish area.
The red dragon that had lost one of its wings slowly raised its head, and the Sword in the Stone pierced into its right eye, piercing through its pupil. The furious dragon roared through the heavens and the earth.
Ryan stepped on the dragon's ferocious brow ridge, pulled out the sword in the stone, and shot his body backwards.
Amid the overwhelming sound of whistles, all the gears of the Titanic turned, like a high-speed train, crashing into the dragon's claw without reservation, completely crushing its right claw and right limb;
The Yamata-no-Orochi in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons roared to the sky, and deadly venom spurted out from the bloody mouths of its eight heads at the same time, penetrating through the dim flame curtain and splashing onto the dragon's head, seeping into its empty right eye socket.
Then, the venom flowed to every vein and every blood vessel of the dragon. Steam came out of the huge body of the red dragon under the corrosion of the venom, and the scales collapsed layer by layer.
The Titanic knocked the dragon to the ground, and the sound of the whistle and the earthquake-like roar overlapped and resonated.
Ryan stepped off the ground with the Sword in the Stone in his hand and shot out like a cannonball, his long hair flying and his golden eyes shining in the shadows. He roared and descended from the sky, cutting off the red dragon's other wing.
Another broken wing fell to the ground and collapsed beside Li Qingping. He raised his head and looked at the sky above the red dragon with a stern look.
Finally, a meteorite fell again, roaring sharply, and bursting with terrifying heat. Meteorite fragments fell like a torrential rain, ravaging every part of the red dragon's body. In a blink of an eye, the dragon's body was riddled with holes, and it was difficult to find a single intact part.
From the perspective of an outsider, this was a battle without suspense from the very beginning. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a "lingchi"...
Xizel was thrown onto the Christmas sleigh by Li Qingping. The hot wind that swept across the world, carrying a few flames, blew on his back, blowing his white hair high.
He knew that he had to find Yagubaru, and no one else could save Li Qingping's life. So at that moment, in order not to become a burden to Li Qingping, he set off without hesitation and rode the sled towards the sky.
No matter how loud the noise behind him was, Xizel never turned back. He couldn't tell whether he didn't want to turn back, or... he didn't dare to turn back, fearing that he would not be able to control his impulse and implicate Li Qingping.
In just a few seconds, the sound of whistles and waves came from behind, the eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi roared to the sky, the loud bang when the Sword in the Stone cut off the dragon's wings, and the sound of a meteorite exploding that resounded through the sky.
The only thing that has never changed... is the roar and wail of the dragon.
The whole world seemed to be groaning, the atmosphere was roaring, the surging wind kept blowing up his clothes, and a huge piece of meteorite flew past the side of the sled and almost overturned the elk.
Finally, with a burst of rapid cries, the sled tilted steeply and was about to fall. At this moment, César came to his senses and turned his head anxiously.
"Li Qingping——!"
Then his pupils suddenly contracted. He saw a dragon, a headless dragon, with broken wings, a torn tail, and shattered claws.
Blood oozed from Li Qingping's pores. At this moment, he was like a bloody man, with his internal organs shattered under the siege of the generation-level wonders. The red dragon resisted 99% of the impact for him, but the remaining 1% was enough to destroy his organs.
Blood gushed out from his broken pores. The skin on the right side of his face was breaking apart inch by inch, until only a piece of white bone was left exposed in the air.
In a trance, he tilted his head slightly, looked at the receding sled with his only remaining eye, and raised the corners of his lips in relief.
"Good boy..." he murmured hoarsely.
Xizel's roar was drowned out by the dragon's roar. Li Qingping's figure swayed like a tumbler in the wind, and he staggered back two steps.
The broken shoulder blade turned into a white mist and fell down, followed by his entire right arm. Blood flowed out from the broken shoulder like a waterfall, spilling onto the broken arm on the ground, dyeing the dry and gray skin bloody.
"You guys... are too cruel," Li Qingping panted, raised his dim left eye, looked at Ryan who was walking towards him, and smiled hoarsely, "Is it so difficult for me to show off in front of the kids?"
He struggled to stand, the remaining half of his left face was stained red by the blood flowing from his forehead, and his vision began to blur. However, the shattered red dragon shadow burst out with unprecedented light at this moment, like midnight day.
A purgatory-like flame curtain rose into the sky, blocking off the sky and burning a bottomless gully above the sea, a gap without sea water. The sea water on both sides filled in like waterfalls, but turned into curling steam the moment it touched the flame curtain.
"Have you gone to such lengths to protect the third prince?" Ruth murmured.
The five people's vision was blocked by the flames that covered the sky and the sun, and they could not see the sky in the distance. They were also unable to cross the curtain of fire in a short time, so they could only wait quietly.
A moment later, when the flames faded away, Ryan looked up and could no longer see the third prince.
But he knew in his heart that as long as he was in the box garden, the third prince would have no way to escape and would be like a turtle in a jar.
Ruth walked over slowly, her sea-blue earrings swaying.
"Ryan...give him a quick death."
She lowered her head and looked expressionlessly at Li Qingping who was slowly falling to the ground.
The shadow of the red dragon faded away at this moment, and Li Qingping's body was already charred black, with white bones and black blood forming his broken torso. He fell to the ground like a skeleton that could fall apart at any time.
He propped up his heavy eyelids, half-opened his only remaining left eye, and a line of blood flowed down his pale forehead. In a trance, he suddenly remembered that when he was in junior high school, every time there was a fight in school, no matter how many people were on the other side or whether they had weapons, Gu Wenyu would always come to help him first.
I remember vividly one time when the two of them were outnumbered and Gu Wenyu was beaten along with him. Afterwards, they both fell on the playground at dusk, looking at the sky with bruised faces and noses, too tired to breathe and unable to utter a word.
Half a day later, Gu Wenyu stared at the sunset in the sky and suddenly murmured:
"Why didn't I realize before that the sunset... is quite beautiful."
"Are you stupid?"
“Isn’t it pretty?”
"Uh... it's okay."
After a moment of silence, the two men with bruised faces and noses started laughing on the ground in the playground.
When his thoughts reached this point, Li Qingping suddenly opened his broken eyelids and took a look at the never-changing dusk, the never-changing twilight, and the setting sun in the box garden.
The bloodstained lips moved slightly, and he murmured softly:
"Yeah...it's pretty nice."
Ryan raised the Sword in the Stone, and the sword blocked the sunset from Li Qingping's eyes.
The next moment, the sword shrouded in shadows slowly slashed down. Just as Li Qingping was about to close his eyes, a sudden sound of breaking through the air was heard, followed by a hoarse roar:
"The trash Red Dragon hasn't paid today's friendship fee yet, you guys let him go, Shark!"
Ryan was startled, then he suddenly looked up and saw a three-meter-long dark blue shark wrapped in dark air currents, rushing towards him like a rocket!
He frowned and raised the Sword in the Stone across his body, but the impact was so violent that it was like a high-speed train crashing into him.
The moment it hit the shark's head, the Sword in the Stone vibrated violently, and Ryan was knocked more than a hundred meters away, even several of his ribs were broken. His body flew backwards in the sky, and finally Ruth raised her hand to catch him.
The dark blue shark controlled the dark water flow and stopped above the island. It gasped angrily and stared at the five members of the Royal Court team with a ferocious expression.
Knowing that it was outnumbered, it suddenly picked up Li Qingping's body with its teeth, carried the broken body on its back, then turned its head and shot behind it.
The White Crow Brigade is almost here. They are traveling through the Whale Mouth Tunnel and will arrive at the battlefield in a few seconds. Then they won't have to worry about being surrounded by the Royal Court Team.
"Hey, how long can you hold on..." Yagubaru looked sideways while flying, then he was suddenly startled and his voice stopped abruptly.
Only half of Li Qingping's body was reflected in the shark's upright pupils. The other half of his body had been burned to a charred black and was dissipated in the wind like embers.
"You're so slow...what a glutton." Li Qingping spoke hoarsely.
"Damn it... You little bastard Red Dragon, how did you become like this? You are not a shark. A shark can survive with half of its body cut off, but how can you survive with half of your body cut off?"
"Here...you eat it."
Li Qingping spoke softly, and grabbed the dim "Red Dragon Wales" with his only remaining right hand, and handed it to Yagubaru with trembling hands.
Yagubaru was stunned.
"You are ill, aren't you?"
"You are the one who is sick..." Li Qingping suddenly laughed and said hoarsely, "Friends' fee, do you understand?"
"Are you stupid... Why do you need to pay friendship fees to make friends with Shark? Shark never collects friendship fees from true friends. Shark doesn't want friendship fees..."
Yagubaru muttered softly, and tears suddenly squeezed out of his eyes. The next moment, his expression became fierce, and he suddenly grabbed the card handed over by the withered hand that was only left with bones, bit it and swallowed it into his throat.
Then, a series of dark blue and white system panels popped up in front of him.
[Has swallowed 1 "mutated" generation-level oddity fragment, triggering the effect of the exclusive cultivation system "Oddity Taotie", your real body size increases by 40 meters. ]
[Unit 3 has awakened a new ability - "Dragon Tail". ]
[Because a mutant fragment was swallowed, the "new strange news consciousness" has been loaded into the mental space. 】
[Unit 3 - Eternal Shark "Akubaru" changes in size: 161m → 201m. 】
Yagubaru was flying at high speed while shouting, "Red Dragon, you can't just die like this. You haven't paid tomorrow's friendship fee yet!"
"Did you hear that? Big idiot Li Qingping!"
"What are you doing? Why are you ignoring Shark?"
However, no matter how hard he tried to provoke, there was no familiar voice responding to his words as in the past. Instead, Li Qingping's arms, which were suspended in the air, slowly dropped down. The whole person slowly lost his movement.
Then half of his body slid off the shark's back and tumbled toward the sea surface.
The shark stayed where it was, slowly stopped moving forward, and stopped in mid-air wrapped in the water.
It silently watched Li Qingping's body fall into the sea. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet, and the black water wrapped around the body gradually cooled down.
At this moment, a long cry suddenly came, and the Christmas sleigh fell from the sky. Xizel lowered his eyes and caught Li Qingping's body. He put the body, which was so broken that the owner could not be recognized, on the sleigh, and then rode the sleigh towards the island.
The five members of the Royal Court team raised their eyes and looked at the expressionless white-haired boy on the sled. His drooping hair covered his eyes. At this moment, he was holding another orange light-patterned card on his right index finger.
"Generational level?" Ruth saw the card clearly and muttered to herself, "Besides the 'Christmas Sleigh', does the Third Prince have other generational level stories?"
At the same time, a sudden movement behind them caught their attention.
They looked sideways and saw a flock of crows rushing out of the whale's mouth tunnel like a dark cloud. Their pitch-black feathers fluttered down and blocked their vision.
Under the blood-red sky, amidst the hoarse cries, the crows slowly dispersed, and twelve figures with different temperaments appeared on the island. Leading the group was a young man in a black windbreaker. His eyes were deep and he stared directly at the five members of the Royal Court Team.
"Phoenix."
Not far away, the young man on the sled whispered three words, then crushed the fragments of strange news in his hand. A feather of fire flew by, and a sharp cry resounded through the sky.
