The Demon-Slaying Sword moved with the speed of the wind, carrying an indomitable spirit, and fiercely stabbed towards Sophia.
Several figures behind Xu Fan suddenly bared their fangs and claws, lunging towards Sophia.
But when the sword was thrust forward, it seemed as if an invisible barrier existed around Sophia, blocking Xu Fan's sword from a distance.
"Ding-dong."
A piercing sonic boom reached his ears. The instant the barrier touched the sword's edge, Xu Fan felt as if a powerful force had come from the sword's edge, causing him to stagger backward.
After dissipating the force, Xu Fan's sword traced a semi-circular arc and swiftly thrust towards Sophia.
A faint white light flashed across the sword, which was Xu Fan's most proud move, White Rainbow Piercing the Sun!
Even when he concentrated all his strength into a single point and thrust it at Sophia, the tip of his sword couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.
The rain was pouring down, and Xu Fan was soaked to the bone, but the sword in his hand seemed to be locked onto Sophia. He kept thrusting his longsword at Sophia, only to have it bounce off her repeatedly.
The feeling of powerlessness in Xu Fan's heart grew heavier and heavier. Even if he used all his strength, was he still unable to achieve his goal?
However, Xu Fan had a compelling reason to win this battle.
Most dragons are arrogant. If Sophia cannot be stopped, once she leads the resurrected ancient dragons out of the Dragonbone Tomb, the entire human society will become food for the dragons.
For humanity, such an ending is simply unacceptable.
Xu Fan rose from the rain again and again, the sword light in his hand gathering and dispersing, dispersing and gathering again. Even with Xu Fan's temperament, after hundreds of sword strikes, he still had no strength left to wield the sword.
Even so, Xu Fan climbed out of the rain again and again, his right hand trembling slightly as he gripped the demon-slaying sword.
After a moment of silence, Xu Fan straightened his sword with all his might, and suddenly it felt as if a hurricane had swept across the sky.
"All living beings have perished!"
As Xu Fan finished speaking, three enormous, blurred, and even cracked phantoms slowly emerged from behind him.
However, this was not the end. After the first three figures appeared, a fourth, even more blurry and transparent figure slowly appeared behind Xu Fan.
As the fourth figure appeared, the Demon-Slaying Sword in Xu Fan's hand seemed to cheer and burst into flames in an instant.
This is the strongest sword strike Xu Fan has been able to deliver so far!
The Demon-Slaying Sword, accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder, whistled as it pierced towards Sophia.
"bass!"
The sound of sword energy entering the body slowly came from in front of Xu Fan.
Even Xu Fan was surprised that his sword strike had such an effect, and he looked up in astonishment.
Sofia's face was tense from the pain, but she still had a smile on her face.
Her lips moved slightly, as if she were saying something.
But in that instant, Xu Fan felt as if he had lost his hearing, and could not hear what Sophia was saying at all.
He slowly looked at the demon-slaying sword that had pierced Sophia's body, but the words Sophia had spoken involuntarily echoed in his mind.
"elder brother."
Sofia's figure slowly fell into the rain, splashing up a large amount of water from the ground.
The purple Dragon Emperor Flame remained in the distance, while the crimson flames continued to retreat.
Everyone was focused on the battle between Shelby, who had inherited the Dragon Emperor's Flame, and the ancient dragon Pete.
This is a battle that will determine the future of the dragon race.
No one would have guessed that a battle, though not too intense, had also broken out in the Dragon Emperor's Palace.
No one pays any attention to the dragon girl named Sophia.

The "Dragon Bone Tomb" mission has been completed, and the system reward has been issued. Please check your account.
Looking at the blood-stained sword in his hand, Xu Fan silently knelt down in front of Sophia.
Suddenly, he recalled what Sophia had said when Shelby received the Dragon Emperor's Flame inheritance:
"Brother, if you're bored, go take a look at the murals nearby."
If Sophia hadn't pointed it out, Xu Fan probably wouldn't have noticed that her identity was questionable.
Once these details came to mind, they flooded into Xu Fan's mind like countless fragments, impossible to shake off or dispel.
For a moment, Xu Fan knelt silently in the heavy rain, like an older brother who had lost his younger sister.
However, as the rain fell on Sofia, an ancient, decaying aura emanated from her.
Her body gradually turned into mottled specks of light, rising little by little from the ground before disappearing.
Panicked, Xu Fan suddenly reached out, but even though he summoned the four giant figures behind him, it was all in vain.
After all the light and shadow disappeared, Xu Fan suddenly looked up and seemed to see Sophia's shadow in the air.
Her smile was shy and innocent, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, as she softly called out:
"elder brother."
Tears welled up in Xu Fan's eyes without him realizing it. He rubbed his cheeks hard and tried to smile at Sophia.
As Sophia's figure disappeared, Xu Fan stood up from the ground, picked up his sword, and walked towards the outside of the Holy City, towards the area outside the Dragon Emperor's Tomb.
After leaving the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, Xu Fan was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he quietly found a secluded spot to wait.
As night fell, several figures emerged furtively from the Dragon Bone Tomb.
The person in the lead was Ye Ling.
"Hmph, those despicable dragons, they actually used us!"
Shortly after Sofia disappeared, Pete and Parker, who were not seriously injured, seemed to see something.
Then their figures gradually blurred and disappeared.
It was at that moment that Ye Ling suddenly realized...
These ancient dragons were not awakened by them at all.
Or rather, these dragons never truly died, so how can there be any talk of awakening and reviving them?
The whole thing was nothing more than a conspiracy by the dragons.
For a moment, he couldn't understand why the dragons were making such a huge sacrifice.
This involved the sacrifice of a dragon king, several dragon elders, and two ancient dragons who had existed for countless years.
When Shelby had finally sent William and the others to the gallows, Ye Ling knew that no matter what the dragons wanted to do, their most important task right now was to escape from this place as quickly as possible.
If they fall into Shelby's hands, given what they've done recently, they'll definitely not have a good ending.
