Chapter 270 - The Sound of Gunshots (1/2)

Pure whiteness turned into golden light, causing the sky to explode and the atmosphere to fulminate. Various colored energy balls were merging with each other in the air, causing such raucous and rumbling that even the deaf could hear the sounds. The sky was dark on one end and shining with light on the other. If the golden light was somewhat forced to retreat, the five-colored light would move forward marginally. They were locked in a tussle and neither was giving way to the other. One side of the sky was pouring buckets, while light from the other side passed through the thick clouds and illuminated the clan members’ emaciated bodies.

The dragon chants began weakening and the members were finally able to regain some of their cognizances. They stared at the two great forces doing battle in the air.

“Cough cough, why don’t I have any strength?” A warrior dragon held up his bony claws and asked in confusion.

“Simply standing underneath the two mighty dragons doing battle is enough to consume all our energy! That is the true existence of a king!” The dragon knight’s leader lamented.

“No, don’t you feel like your strength is draining from your body?” Another knight was staring at the glistening ray of light that was emanating from the energy stone embedded in its chest. All of its energy was concentrated there, and suddenly, it disappeared!

“… This is the vitality stone that Leader has implanted in us when we were being modified.” Another black warrior dragon fluttered his wings and howled.

“…”

Bang!

A clash between the Golden Wildblade and the black lightning resulted in a loud spark. Black dust and golden snowflakes fell onto the ground along with dark red blood.

“Bwahaha, I never thought that your skills would increase just by going through Mother Nest’s baptism. Do you really think you can escape in one piece?” In the midst of darkness, blood was flowing out of Qiao Yi’s mouth.

“… I don’t expect to come out unscathed.” Scarlet-red blood covered the whole of Bai Wu’s golden body. Blood was oozing from each scale, but he still fought Qiao Yi with all of his might.

Hearing those words, Qiao Yi paused. He laughed even more maniacally than before, coughing up blood as he cackled.

“HAHA! YOU WANT TO TAKE ME DOWN WITH YOURSELF? Don’t you want that lowly human anymore?” he sneered. At the same time, the power of a lightning-quick thunderbolt came greeting Bai Wu’s body.

“Ptoo!” In a momentary lapse of concentration, his left golden wing suffered yet another attack. It left a hole in the wing, the smell of burnt proteins was dissipating in the air.

Bai Wu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. He reacted immediately by throwing himself in Qiao Yi’s direction and facing the latter head-on. It was only natural that Bai Wu abhorred parting with Xu Lan, but he could not let the entire dragon clan die just like that. The effects of disrupting dimensional order were clear to see, and Bai Ling’s sacrifice must not be in vain!
