Zhuo Shi also endured the injury on his right wing, and Fifth Soul Skill·Burning Heaven Flame Domain spread out to cover the injured Titled Douluo on the outside to isolate them from shadow erosion.
But those Soul Master who didn't have time to be covered were in misery.
Dark thorns in the sky penetrated the crowd.
On the spot, two Spirit Pagoda accompanying Soul Master and one Shrek butler fell on the beach.
The power of shadow corruption spread along the wound, and even the miserable howl could only be heard halfway.
"Ah--!!"
Zhuo Shi completely exploded.
He didn't care, Ninth Soul Skill·Red Dragon Burns the World smashed out.
The giant Red Dragon phantom condensed, wrapped in a sea of fire, and swooped towards Prison King Dragon. With this blow, he did not leave any way for himself to retreat, and pressed all of them.
Prison King Dragon However, at this moment, he made an action that no one expected.
He did not dodge or avoid, but instead gathered his bone wings and resisted forcefully.
Boom--!
The sea of fire exploded on the dragon's body, and the bones were burned red.
Prison King Dragon's entire body was hit and sank, and the cracks in the dragon's spine expanded a bit.
But at that moment Zhuo Shi's old strength was exhausted, new strength had not yet been born, and the dragon's body was still in the air.
The bone tail of Prison King Dragon is like a black poisonous snake, passing through the embers of the sea of fire and drawing straight towards the dragon's neck of Zhuo Shi.
"Zhuo Shi--!!"
Yue Zhengen The canthus of the eyes is about to split.
Ninth Soul Skill·Heavenly Holy Purification Judgment condensed in his palm, and the golden light rose into the sky, hitting Prison King Dragon's bone tail, trying to intercept the blow.
Boom--!
Golden Judgment and Black Bone Tail collided in mid-air.
Violent shock waves exploded in all directions.
Zhuo Shi was blown away by the aftermath and crashed heavily into the sea, raising water columns dozens of feet high.
Prison King Dragon was also hit by the power of judgment. The light feathers and scorch marks on the upper body of the dragon bone overlapped, and the blood of shadow dripped down.
Xu Shengqun held his seriously injured right arm and knelt on the beach with one knee, his face pale.
The three of them joined forces and failed to capture the tower-guarding bone dragon. Instead, people were killed on the ground.
On the sea, Zhuo Shi rushed out of the water, covered in burnt black and intertwined with dragon blood. Crimson Dragon True Body could no longer hold on and returned to his human form.
He stared at Prison King Dragon, his eyes were red, and a deep roar was suppressed in his throat.
Yue Zhengen has four wings spread out, Holy Radiance Celestial Battle Armor is covered with cracks, and Angel Holy Sword's shadow flickers in and out of its hand.
Xu Shengqun gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand upright. Heavenly Spirit Radiance Battle Armor's breastplate had a large crack. The power of shadow corruption on his right arm had not been completely dissipated. The entire arm was gray and black, and the pain caused cold sweat to break out from his forehead.
But he just straightened his back and stood on the beach without saying a word.
The wind blew in from the sea, carrying the smell of blood and the smoke of charred dragon fire. Several corpses lay scattered on the beach, and black smoke was still rising from the wounds of shadow corruption. The full moon was in the sky, but the silver glow could not warm this battlefield of black water and golden light.
Prison King Dragon stood slowly, his huge skeleton casting a ferocious shadow in the moonlight. He opened his huge mouth and let out a dragon roar that shook the entire South Sea.
"Ho--!!!"
The sound wave enveloped Shadow Power and exploded against the sea surface, setting off a circle of white waves. The trees on the island fell down, and the sails on the sea were blown loudly.
Those Soul Master who were still on the outside were shocked and turned pale on the spot. Several of them sat down on the ground, their ears buzzing.
The dragon roared down.
Prison King Dragon lowered his huge skull, and the two dots of dark ghost fire in the eye sockets had burned to scarlet at some point.
The blood-colored firelight directly covered the three people Yue Zhengen, Zhuo Shi, and Xu Shengqun. Each word was as cold as being squeezed out of a crevice in the ice.
"Now."
"Rules, or death."
Eight words, one by one, hit the ears of everyone present.
rules.
Still.
death.
Yue Zhengen stood on the beach, his four wings trembling slightly, and fine gold shavings were still falling from the cracks of Holy Radiance Celestial Battle Armor. His mouth was numb, his chest was heaving violently, and a dark scorch mark on his forehead was burning. He stared at Prison King Dragon's pair of scarlet will-o'-the-wisps, his throat moved, and he wanted to say something harsh, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the blood in his chest surged upwards.
He suppressed it.
The composure honed by decades of military service made him swallow the words "I'll fight you" hard.
He lowered his head and glanced at the fallen robes on the beach.
There are Southern Legion, there are Shrek, and there are Spirit Pagoda.
All of them are Titled Douluo level masters. Normally, they would be the same person wherever they go.
But in just a few short breaths, they all fell under the shadow of the tower-guarding bone dragon, and not even the whole body could be saved.
Sunk costs have already been incurred.
So many lives, so many years of hard work, and the combined reputations of the Southern Legion, Shrek, and Spirit Pagoda are all staked on this Star Dragon Tower.
If we turn around and leave now, then this battle and all the corpses here will be in vain.
But if the fight continues...Yue Zhengen raised his eyes and glanced at the hideous wounds on Prison King Dragon's body. The skull dragon was indeed injured, with the marrow deeply visible from the cracks on its back, and the blood of shadow was still dripping down.
But Yue Zhengen knew that the skull dragon's injuries were far less serious than the three of them.
Zhuo Shi Even Crimson Dragon True Body couldn't hold on anymore. The scorch mark at the base of his right wing was still oozing blood.
Xu Shengqun's right arm was almost useless, and Heavenly Spirit Radiance Battle Armor had a corner broken into pieces. He himself was at the end of his strength, Holy Radiance Celestial Battle Armor was cracked all over, and Soul Power had a large section taken away by that Demon Array.
Keep fighting.
It could be three of them who died.
Yue Zhengen's fists clenched loudly, and her nails dug into her palms, but she never took that step.
"General."
A voice sounded in the dead silence.
Yue Zhengen head tilted.
At some point, Xu Shengqun had forced himself to take two steps and stood between him and Prison King Dragon. This Spirit Pagoda's fourth Spirit Envoy was now disheveled, his right arm was gray, his breastplate was broken, and he was in an unbelievable state of embarrassment. But his eyes were clearer than ever before.
Xu Shengqun didn't look at Yue Zhengen, nor at Zhuo Shi. He slowly bent down and saluted Prison King Dragon.
"Senior was joking."
"Rules, of course, are rules."
"The offense we just received was the fault of the juniors. I hope the seniors will forgive me."
His voice was not high, but his words were clear, with a smooth energy that could be bent and stretched. His attitude changed quickly and naturally, as if the bloody battle just now had never happened from beginning to end.
Yue Zhengen's eyelids twitched.
Of course he knows what Xu Shengqun is doing.
What this old fox is best at is sizing up the situation. If he can beat him, he will beat him to death; if he can't beat him, he will immediately bow his head and admit defeat, and he won't even ask for more face.
What Spirit Pagoda's majesty and what Spirit Envoy's integrity are worthless in the face of survival.
But, Yue Zhengen still couldn't say no.
Because even he himself knew that Xu Shengqun lowered his head at the right time.
If we don't lower our heads, all three of them will have to answer here today.
Yue Zhengen took a deep breath and suppressed the fire that surged into his throat. He did not speak, but silently retracted his four wings, and the holy light around him also dimmed, which was considered as a preset of Xu Shengqun's words.
