Dragon Tamer

Chapter 680: The Gap of Protection

Just such a sentence could bring about such a terrifying curse backlash??

Shang Hanxu’s death was a slow process. His face had turned bloody red, showing no trace of normal skin, and he was frantically scratching at his own chest, as if he wanted to gouge out his heart. His current state was as if he was already enduring torture in hell, looking terrifying to the extreme!

He was clearly unaware of another, even more dreadful Curse of the God Servants on his body; he even looked at Zhu Minglang with begging eyes, imploring him to end his life, unable to bear the pain any longer!

Zhu Minglang gave the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon a look, and it wrapped its tail around the agonized and contorted Shang Hanxu’s neck, then gave a heavy twist, cleanly ending his life.

This Sparrow Wolf God is too cruel, to inflict such a slow and torturous Curse of the God Servants on their own people…

Although Zhu Minglang did not plan to let Shang Hanxu off the hook for the massacre of escaping people outside the city, he did not expect that it would be the Curse of the God Servants of the Sparrow Wolf God that would ultimately kill Shang Hanxu!

...

This means that Shang Zhuang probably also bears such a Curse of the God Servants; it will be difficult to extract information about the Sparrow Wolf God from him!

Once Shang Hanxu was dead, those three protectors of the Sparrow Wolf God lost their will to fight.

The Temple of the Sparrow Wolf God was indeed suffering from intense internal strife. Once someone like Shang Hanxu, capable of meeting the actual Sparrow Wolf God, died, they lost their pillar of strength. Furthermore, the power of the cultivators from the Supreme Court was not weak, putting great pressure on them…

“Retreat!”

The conflict continued for a while, and when it became clear they were not gaining much advantage, the Temple Protector in a black beast robe gave the command.

After all, this city was already sinking into the Hundred Miles Quicksand; they could just wait a few more days, and the Dragon City-State would be buried; there was no need to devastate each other here!

As soon as the order to retreat was given, Zhu Minglang immediately issued a command to pursue and kill; the more experts of the Temple of the Sparrow Wolf God they took down, the better. They could not be allowed to remain a threat to the Dragon City-State.

The battle continued until dusk. They had hoped to eradicate a large part of the people from the Temple of the Sparrow Wolf God, but alas, darkness was about to envelop the entire Li Chuan Plain. Zhu Minglang, as the Divine Chosen, could walk in the dark, but the others could not.

If they did not return to the Dragon City-State soon, it was likely that over half of them would not make it back alive. The Dragon City-State was peaceful, but the surrounding area was teeming with Nightwalkers!

The Temple of the Sparrow Wolf God had collapsed, and the scattered forces scattered like birds and beasts. Dusk was undoubtedly a warning from the God of Death; if they failed to find shelter from the dark before the sky turned completely dark, not many of them would live to see the sun the next day.

The offensive surged like a fierce tide and retreated just as quickly as the tide. Outside the Dragon City-State was in disarray, the ground riddled with countless holes, but at least tranquility returned before nightfall…

“Boom!!!!!”

Suddenly, the thick quicksand toppled and pressed against a city wall, which then collapsed with a roar in the massive quicksand, sand pouring into the city like a slow-moving flood, rapidly swallowing nearby streets, residences, shops, markets…

The quicksand that had soaked the entire city seemed to have found an outlet, and the sandflow became tumultuous, rapidly converging toward the collapsed city wall, pouring the sand wantonly into the city-state!

Zhu Minglang and the others, who had just returned to the city-state after a sortie, witnessed this section of the wall being destroyed by the quicksand. At first, Zhu Minglang didn’t pay it much mind, since the enemies had all been repelled; the collapse of the wall didn’t seem to matter much.

But Zhu Minglang soon discovered that it wasn’t just the quicksand crazily rushing toward the breach as if finding an outlet, but also all the nocturnal creatures that roamed the Li Chuan Plain!!

What kept the Ancestral Dragon City-State tranquil even in the night was the special city walls made from the bones of the Ancestral Dragon. Once a breach appeared, darkness could invade at will, turning the Ancestral Dragon City-State into a living hell overnight!

Standing at the ruined wall, Zhu Minglang looked out over the dim plain and couldn’t help but gasp for breath.

They had just finished fighting during the day, and he thought they could finally catch their breath, only to realize the true horror awaited them in the battle of night!

Across the plains, there were wails and howls. When the walls were still intact, the plain in the darkness was silent, but as soon as the breach opened, it was like the gates of the Underworld had been flung wide, the cacophony of sounds—roars, laments, cries, howls of rage, weeping, shrill laughter…

This mixture of sounds entered the city, causing those who heard these voices of the Underworld to faint, almost as if their very souls had been whisked away!

The entire plain was teeming with shadowy beings beyond count, and Zhu Minglang already felt a chill as the creeping cold of death washed over him, more terrifying than a million brave troops by hundreds, even thousands of times, sending shivers down his spine.

It seemed that not only those people wanted the Ancestral Dragon City-State; the denizens of the Underworld longed for it even more, and the reason they wandered in groups nearby at night was precisely to seek an opportunity!

Now that the walls had collapsed and their protection had a breach, their opportunity had come!!

“Brother Zhu, even knowing that there is a Divine Chosen within the city, they still rush in madly. There must be some Night Emperor in these dark plains who doesn’t fear the Divine Chosen!” Mi Rong said somewhat frantically.

Such a situation was uncommon. With a Divine Chosen seated, you could protect a territory even without special walls, not to mention the city was home to many God’s Descendants, many of whom had intricate relations with the gods.

“We can only fight them,” said Zhu Minglang with a sense of resignation.

The Hundred Miles Quicksand was ultimately the most destructive force. If more walls were to succumb to the weight of the quicksand, they wouldn’t need to wait three days; after just two nights, the Ancestral Dragon City-State would barely have any survivors left.

“I can restore this wall, but I need some time,” said a woman’s voice from behind at that moment.

Zhu Minglang turned around, expecting to see Nan Lingsha, but instead, he noticed she was cradling a plump rabbit in her arms, a rabbit with two long drooping ears, and a pair of bright, lively eyes.

It wasn’t the painter, it was Nan Yuso.

It suddenly occurred to Zhu Minglang that Nan Yuso’s dragons were either Ancestral Dragons or possessed the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline…

This city-state was called the Ancestral Dragon City-State, and the painter’s auntie had more than once depicted the city wall as a supremely powerful Azure Dragon in her paintings. It seemed likely that either Nan Lingsha or Nan Yuso knew the secret of the Ancestor Dragon’s bones’ protection!
