Chapter 1250 Victory
Of course, what she said was false. The reason why the thunder tribulation could accurately lock onto the Bone Demon was that she had borrowed the power of the laws of heaven and quietly drawn a trace of the power of the thunder tribulation.
Xiao Liu raised his head and roared like a dragon during the thunderstorm, and his nine claws slammed towards the sky.
He actually created a gap in the originally surging thunderclouds, and then, a golden divine thunder as thick as a bucket fell straight down, but it did not strike at him, but blasted towards Yan Ye's magic dragon phantom!
"roar!"
The shadow of the evil dragon was struck by the divine thunder, and it let out a shrill wail, and its huge body instantly faded by half.
Yan Ye felt a sweetness in his throat, and another mouthful of black blood surged up. He stared at Xiao Liu, his eyes full of disbelief.
This nine-clawed dragon could actually control the lightning tribulation while undergoing it?!
"Xiao Liu, stop playing around." Luo Li said, "Quick battle, quick decision."
"Got it!" Xiaoliu shook the huge dragon head and responded.
The next second, brilliant golden light suddenly burst out from his body, and nine dragon claws grabbed towards the thundercloud at the same time.
The originally violent thunder tribulation seemed to have found an outlet. Countless golden thunder and purple lightning flowed into his body along his dragon claws. Xiao Liu's dragon scales turned from dark gold to purple gold at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his dragon horns turned into pure gold.
"That's a sign of a successful tribulation!" Elder Su's hand stroking his beard suddenly stopped, his eyes blazing with joy. "The Nine-clawed Sky Dragon has officially entered its mature stage!"
Seeing this, the Bone Demon's red light in the blood-colored crystal went completely crazy: "We can't let him successfully survive the thunder tribulation!"
He suddenly inserted the bone staff into the ground, and the earth shook violently. Countless white bones suddenly emerged from the cracks and instantly pieced together into a bone dragon that was a hundred feet tall.
The bone dragon had no flesh and blood, with ghostly green fire burning in its eye sockets. It opened its huge mouth and spewed out a black wind with a corpse stench, heading straight for Xiaoliu.
"Looking for death." Luo Li's eyes turned cold, and the power of chaos turned into a long sword, slashing towards the bone dragon's neck through the air.
“Swish!”
The seemingly indestructible bone dragon's neck broke with a sound, and its huge skull fell to the ground, and the ghostly green fire was instantly extinguished.
But the broken bones were actually wriggling, as if trying to be pieced together again.
"Can't you even cut off the power of chaos?" Lan Xiaoxiao swung his whip to shatter a piece of broken bone near the city wall, frowning, "There's something strange about this bone."
"It's bonded together with living souls," Luo Li said calmly, condensing a richer source of chaos from her fingertips. "It can only be broken, but the foundation cannot be destroyed."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoliu in the air suddenly let out a dragon roar that shook the sky.
The huge body of the mature Nine-clawed Sky Dragon was completely formed. With a wave of his nine claws, the remaining thunder tribulation was absorbed into his body.
Then he swooped down, spraying dragon breath at the wriggling bones.
The golden dragon breath carried the residual power of the thunder tribulation. The moment it touched the bones, it ignited a raging flame, burning the souls inside to ashes.
The bone demon let out a shrill scream, and the blood-colored crystal on the bone staff completely shattered.
The gray mist dissipated, revealing a wrinkled, withered face. The eye sockets were sunken, leaving only two balls of dancing green fire. "My bone dragon!"
"Now it's your turn," Luo Li approached, the power of chaos condensing into a ball in her palm. "You were lucky that you weren't completely sealed away ten thousand years ago. Today, I will completely annihilate you."
Yan Ye watched the Bone Demon retreating step by step, then glanced at Xiao Liu, who had successfully passed the tribulation and whose dragon power was terrifying everyone. He knew that staying would only bring humiliation to himself.
He gritted his teeth, suddenly grabbed the back of the bone demon's collar, turned around and rushed towards the northern rift: "Let's go!"
The Bone Demon struggled and roared, "Let me go! I'm going to kill her!"
"Keep your life!" Yan Ye roared, and with a burst of demonic energy, the figures of the two instantly disappeared in the black fog at the crack.
As they left, the demons seemed to have lost their backbone and fell into chaos in an instant.
Xiaoliu swooped down and swept his dragon claws, turning the demons into meat paste.
The spiritualists on the city wall took the opportunity to fight back, firing their crossbows and waving their whips, and soon they wiped out the remaining demons.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the thunderclouds over the City of Gods slowly dispersed. Xiao Liu circled around and rubbed Luo Li's head affectionately.
His huge body gradually shrank and finally turned into a palm-sized golden dragon. It curled up in Luo Li's palm and yawned.
"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Li stroked his scales with her fingertips, a hint of warmth in her eyes.
Deafening cheers erupted from the city wall, and countless people hugged each other with tears in their eyes.
Wen Xingyan looked at Luo Li's back, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said loudly to everyone: "Reinforce the city defenses and treat the wounded! Tonight, we have defended the City of the Gods!"
Luo Li looked up in the direction of the northern rift. The black fog there was still surging, but it was less oppressive than before.
She whispered, "Yan Ye, Bone Demon... this is just the beginning."
The setting sun penetrated the clouds and shone on the walls of the City of Gods, while in the depths of the Demonic Abyss in the distance, there seemed to be an even darker darkness quietly awakening.
Night fell, but was mostly dispelled by the lights that lit up one after another on the walls of the gods.
The air was filled with the burnt smell of gunpowder and demonic energy, mixed with the bitter taste of spiritual plants and a faint hint of alcohol.
The cleanup of the main battlefield is still going on. The corpses of low-level demons are gathered together and burned by spiritual masters who are responsible for purification. The golden flames lick the remnants of darkness, and wisps of green smoke rise.
The skeletons of high-level demon species are much harder and need to be removed using special means to prevent the remaining demonic energy from polluting the land.
The only thing left is the magic core in their bodies.
On the city wall, the strings that had been tense for days finally relaxed. The spiritualists slumped on the ground, and some leaned against the city wall and took a nap. The occasional snoring sounded, but it carried a sense of peace and tranquility.
Wen Xingyan directed his confidants to reinforce the loose formation pattern in the northwest section, while Lan Xiaoxiao, carrying elixirs, and several teenagers shuttled between the camps where the wounded were accommodated.
The long whip had long been put away, replaced by gentle movements.
Elder Su stroked his half-white beard and looked at the young men busy at the formation, his eyes full of relief and fear.
"Lord Luo Li." A timid voice sounded.
Luo Li turned around and saw that it was the young man who had been trying hard to repair the eye of the formation.
The wound on his arm had been bandaged, and his face was still a little pale, but the light in his eyes could not be concealed.
He held a bowl in his hand, which contained steaming meat porridge.
"You haven't eaten yet, right?" The young man handed the bowl forward, his hands trembling slightly.
Luo Li took it, her fingertips touching the warmth of the bowl, and her heart moved slightly. "Thank you."
"No, you're welcome!" The young man blushed, as if remembering something, and took out a crystal clear fruit from his arms, "This is the Refreshing Fruit from my hometown. You, you should be able to use it."
Luo Li looked at his red nose tip from the cold, smiled, and took the fruit: "Thank you."
The boy scratched his head, chuckled, turned around and ran back to his companions, immediately attracting a lot of envious glances.
Xiao Liu rolled over in her palm, turned into a golden light and went into the Tower of Gods to rest. After surviving the thunder tribulation and fighting another battle, even the Nine-clawed Sky Dragon felt a little exhausted.
"Have a drink?" Wen Xingyan walked over with two wine bags in his hands and handed one to Luo Li.
Luo Li took it, uncorked and took a sip. The spicy liquid slid down her throat, dispelling some of her fatigue.
"Although Yan Ye has retreated, the rift in the north has not closed. The Bone Demon and the Demon God Temple behind him will never give up."
"Today's victory is a great morale booster," Wen Xingyan said with relief as he looked at the city walls gradually returning to order below. "We've defended the City of the Gods. This first victory deserves a celebratory drink."
He tilted his head back, drank the entire bottle, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile, "Come to think of it, you made Xiaoliu endure two days of thunder tribulation. That was a risky move. If there's even the slightest mistake, it'll be a disaster for you."
"Only in danger can there be hope." Luo Li looked towards the northern rift. The black fog was still swirling, but it no longer had the oppressive feeling it once had. "Yan Ye is conceited. He's convinced I wouldn't dare use the thunder tribulation as bait. He's convinced he can't touch us, and we can't touch him. The more certain he is, the more likely he is to miscalculate."
As he was speaking, Lan Xiaoxiao came over with a few alchemists. She looked tired, but her eyes were bright.
"Ari, the inventory is complete. No spiritualists died, but some were injured. Fortunately, none of them were seriously injured."
Luo Li nodded and said, "This is just Yan Ye taking his anger out on us after breaking through the seal. The Demon God Palace and the Nine Heavens are nothing to fear now. We still need to fully prepare for battle. The real battle will begin when the Demon God appears and the Demon Abyss is broken."
Lan Xiaoxiao nodded, "I understand, but Yan Ye used to be arrogant, but today he ran away in disgrace! Cool!"
She snatched the other wine bag from Wen Xingyan's hand, tilted her head back and took a big gulp, saying happily, "I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight! There's still some spiritual wine left in the warehouse from last year. I'll have someone bring it up!"
"The wounded still need to be taken care of, so don't drink too much." Elder Su also arrived at some point.
Before Luo Li could speak, he smiled and said, "However, we still need to celebrate. Wen, have someone prepare some meat and distribute it to the brothers defending the city. Let's all have fun tonight!"
"Okay!" Wen Xingyan immediately gave the order.
Soon, a simple celebration banquet was set up on the city wall. There were no exquisite dishes, only slightly rough food and strong liquor, but no one cared about it.
They weren't hungry in the first place, and now they just care about the atmosphere.
The soldiers supported each other, shared food, and talked about the thrilling moments in the battle just now.
"Did you see that? Lord Luo Li's sword flashed with golden light, and that devil Yan Ye spurted blood!"
"And Master Xiaoliu! The Nine-clawed Sky Dragon! If I could see it alive in this lifetime, it would be worth dying for!"
"What's the point of living or dying? We won the fight! We'll have plenty of chances to see each other again in the future!"
The laughter and joy gradually overshadowed the pain and fatigue. The light of the meeting hall reflected on everyone's face, which was covered with sweat, blood, but also with the gratitude for surviving the disaster and hope for the future.
Luo Li leaned against the city wall not far away, listening to the noise over there, stroking the awakening fruit with her fingertips.
The fresh fragrance of the fruit dispelled the smell of alcohol and calmed her chaotic thoughts.
