A day and night passed, and it was evident that this place was much quieter than within Dragon City.
Jiang Xue still maintained her cold and indifferent demeanor, while Wang Long felt somewhat restless and couldn't help but mutter, "Waiting here for this mysterious figure is less appealing than heading to the front lines to confront those Serpent Demons. At least there, we can see and touch something, rather than being so anxious."
Zhang Mingyi chuckled, "Oh, is that what you think? I actually find this place quite nice. You must understand, although I am considered a master with profound cultivation... Don't look at me like that; it's true. However, once on the battlefield, no matter how outstanding your personal abilities are, they cannot withstand the endless impact of the Army. Death can happen in the next moment, and what's more terrifying is... you don't know which moment it will be."
"So... our esteemed Elder Mingyi is afraid of death?" Wang Long laughed lightly.
Zhang Mingyi shrugged, "Who isn't afraid? For all I know, that mysterious person might never show up at all. In that case, the three of us would have avoided a calamity."
Wang Long smiled; he knew that despite Zhang Mingyi's words, his loyalty was unwavering. If the Grand Elder had sent him to guard another city gate, he wouldn't have frowned even once.
"Isn't your Zhang Family supposed to have the so-called No Leak Heavenly Heart that can predict and sense the future, especially the signs of impending danger?"
Zhang Mingyi sighed with a wry smile, "Indeed. Every time I feel it in Heavenly Capital, there's been a voice in my heart telling me: buddy, you might die at any moment in the days to come... which is essentially the same as saying nothing."
Wang Long suddenly felt a stirring in his heart, realizing the terrifying aspect of this so-called Divine Ability. Just think about it—having the feeling that you could die at any moment is not a comforting thought.
Suddenly, he felt a bit of sympathy and understanding for Zhang Mingyi. The teasing tone in his words might just be a way for him to vent his own inner gloom.
Wang Long glanced at Jiang Xue again. He knew that this mysterious girl from the Zhang Family had talents surpassing those of Zhang Mingyi. Although she had not yet reached the level of opening the seventh Dragon Vein, she possessed an innate ability to perceive things beyond ordinary comprehension.
So... was she also enduring this kind of torment every day? Yet she never spoke about it and would never vent like Zhang Mingyi did; everything was bottled up inside her. How painful could that be?
Wang Long looked at Jiang Xue's increasingly pale face and sighed deeply.
Suddenly, Zhang Mingyi stood up and gazed down at the entire Dragon City with an incredibly heavy tone as he said, "The battle has begun..."
Wang Long felt a stir in his heart as if he could sense that fighting spirit. In the east, west, and north directions were three Serpent Demon Armies, each with no less than ten thousand troops. Their imposing presence filled the air with shouts and cries for battle.
He seemed to see those fierce-looking soldiers from the Serpent Demon Clan; some had already taken on human forms and were roaring loudly while cursing incessantly. Others still resembled Serpent Clan members, coiling their bodies as they hissed lowly, their snake-like eyes radiating a vicious yellow light.
Moreover, some were half-human half-snake creatures; their lower bodies were serpentine and coiling forward while their upper bodies retained human forms with faces that looked particularly grotesque and terrifying.
The Dragon Tooth Guardian, tasked with defending the three Dragon Gates, stood ready, with the Coiling Dragon Bow and Misty Cloud Arrow raised on the city walls, their arrowheads aimed fiercely at the densely packed Serpent Demon Army below. At a single command, they would unleash their arrows against the enemy.
Over a thousand Dragon Tooth vanguard soldiers lined up neatly behind the tightly closed gates of Dragon City, holding cold, gleaming spears that glinted sharply in the light, pointing straight towards the sky.
Their faces were as cold as ice, and their eyes radiated a resolute and generous spirit, fiercely staring at the gates of Dragon City as if they wanted to shoot their anger through the gates at the approaching enemies.
The leader of Dragon Tooth, Li Family Head, along with several elders, stood solemnly atop the city gates, gazing intently at the increasingly close demon army without uttering a word.
The great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Meanwhile, on a desolate mountain to the south of Dragon City, Wang Long, Jiang Xue, and Zhang Mingyi could only look up and sense faint traces of murderous intent and battle spirit, yet they were unaware of what situation lay ahead.
Suddenly, Wang Long seemed to hear a Dragon Roar echoing from within the Valley of Dragon Mound.
Immediately after, it felt as if something was calling out; one dragon roar after another resounded in succession, as if hundreds of Dragon Souls were awakening simultaneously within Dragon City.
"What is happening?!" Wang Long exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Mingyi smiled: "The dragon head has opened the Guardian Barrier of Dragon City. Now, anyone entering the protective range of the city's defense formation will trigger an alarm from the barrier and initiate an offensive."
Indeed, in the next moment, it was as if heaven and earth had suddenly opened up. From all directions came loud roars and cries of battle, accompanied by the fierce clashing sounds of swords and spears. The entire barrier emitted hissing sounds from being struck.
The attack from the Serpent Demon Clan had begun.
Wang Long and his companions found themselves within this enormous barrier, feeling as though they were trapped inside a war drum being relentlessly hammered by countless war hammers. The booming sounds echoed continuously, deafening them.
The entire Dragon City erupted into chaos. Although the citizens had already taken refuge in safe areas, many could still be heard screaming in terror and children crying in fear.
Suddenly, Wang Long and his companions simultaneously felt an extreme sense of danger and instinctively stepped back.
In the next moment, a figure appeared where they had been standing. It was ethereal and somewhat unclear; however, it felt as if he had always been there, causing no sense of abruptness at all.
What was even more terrifying was that the barrier guarding Dragon City clearly did not hinder his intrusion; in fact... there wasn't even an alarm sound.
The person was dressed entirely in black clothing.
"It’s you! You really came!" Zhang Mingyi asked in a deep voice.
The Azure Robed Man chuckled lightly, "That's right, it’s me... I initially thought about killing you all. However, if I did that, Dragon City would not be prepared to welcome my Serpent Demon Army, and winning such a war wouldn’t be much fun."
"Fun? Are you serious?" Wang Long said coldly, his brow furrowed.
The Azure Robed Man glanced at him and laughed lightly, "Oh, if you had my age and experience, there wouldn’t be much else in the world to attract you. Yes, I’m talking about fun... For me, this battle is merely a game of power. Moreover, a game that is certain to win is not really a fun game."
"Overestimating yourself!" Jiang Xue suddenly said coldly from the side.
"Oh, is that so? You two youngsters have quite a bit of pride. Well, since you let me out, I won’t hold it against you little kids."
Wang Long shouted angrily, "So you are the missing Corpse from the Serpent Demon Clan's forbidden area?!"
"That's right... Well then, since I have plenty of time, let me tell you a story as a reward for letting me out."
