Parting Shui Bing'er's Ice-Blue Robes
"Yu Xiaogang, the grand gift you painstakingly prepared, I'm returning it to you now!"
At the entrance of the South Valley, five deep, ink-black rings rose up beneath Su Chen's feet, with the fifth ring, featuring a black, red, and dark gold dragon pattern, shining brightly!
He leaped ten feet into the sky with the force of his legs, and the 50,000-year- External Soul Bone [Ice-Fire Dark-Gold Dragon Emperor Wings], which was six feet wide, on his back suddenly opened up. The Pure Yang Dragon Fire, which was extremely strong Zhiyang, swirled around his right wing and suddenly flapped forward in the south wind!
Call!!
A ten-zhang-wide golden-red pure yang fire wave rushed into the valley with the wind, instantly touching the sky full of raging oil!
The deafening explosion instantly engulfed the entire North Wind Canyon!
Three hundred barrels of fierce oil met the domineering and unparalleled Pure Yang Ancestral Dragon True Fire, and in an instant, they were transformed into a towering sea of fire more than ten feet high!
At the very center of the inferno, the heavy iron armor of the more than two thousand cavalrymen was burning red-hot. Their armored warhorses, enraged and in a frenzy, dragged their Lie Yan- covered bodies and charged around wildly, trampling the infantrymen who fell along the way into a bloody pulp!
Thick smoke billowed, and the stench of burning filled the air! Yu Xiaogang's supposedly flawless ambush formation had instantly become a fiery inferno that buried his three thousand elite troops!
A golden light silently flashed through Su Chen's mind, prompting him:
[Ding! Publicly shattered Yu Xiaogang's brilliant military strategy, burned three thousand of the false dynasty's iron cavalry, and severely damaged the fortunes of Yu Xiaogang and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Triggered Heavenly Fate Critical Hit reward: One piece of Divine Dragon Essence (already integrated into the dantian), and permanently increased the entire team's Soul Power recovery speed by 30%!]
"Take advantage of the chaos and break in to support Skywater Academy!" Su Chen shouted sharply from mid-air.
"The Nine Treasures Have Names: First: Strength; Second: Speed; Third: Attack!"
Ning Rongrong stood on the boulder at the valley entrance, unleashing her level 40 Quasi-Soul Ancestor Soul Power to activate the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Three dazzling divine lights precisely entered Su Chen and the women's bodies.
"Jade Phosphorous Bone-Eroding Nether Mist!"
Dugu Yan lit up the pitch-black Fourth Soul Ring beneath her feet, and thick, purplish-black poisonous mist rolled out along the ground, completely sealing off the hundreds of remaining riders on the north side who were trying to break through the sea of fire to regroup!
"The Begonia Bathes in the Spring Breeze, their Crimson Gold Indestructibility!"
Ye Lingling followed closely behind, raising the Red-Gold Dragon-Pattern Begonia. A shower of pink and gold blossoms flew over the wall of fire and into the cracked ice dome.
The deep, bone-revealing wounds on Shui Bing'er and the other seven girls stopped bleeding and healed instantly!
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing transformed into two afterimages, one on the left and one on the right, and cut into the flanks. The Netherworld Hundred Claws and the Soft Bone Lock targeted the fleeing officers, and in the blink of an eye, they cleared out the scattered enemy troops outside the ice shield.
Meanwhile, Su Chen, carrying Qian Renxue with her six wings spread out in mid-air, hurtled straight towards the armored command vehicle of the central army at the bottom of the valley like two deadly lightning bolts!
"Su Chen!! I'll fight you to the death!!"
As the inferno reached the front of the vehicle, Yu Tianheng's eyes turned bloodshot like a beast's, and the four Soul Ring beneath his feet—two yellow and two purple—exploded wildly. "Third Soul Skill, Thunderous Fury! Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Rush!"
He endured the excruciating pain of his right arm splint rupturing, and with a desperate ferocity, his Dragon Transformation right claw, wrapped in purple electric snakes, lunged at Su Chen, who was swooping down, attempting to shield Yu Xiaogang in his wheelchair from the attack!
"You defeated foe, how dare you bark at me?"
The Ice-Fire Dark-Gold Dragon Emperor Wings swept across the sky with immense force!
Click!!
A piercing sound of shattering metal and cracking bone rang out simultaneously!
The moment Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw touched the 50,000-year-old Dark Gold Dragon Wing, the Entanglement purple lightning instantly dissipated!
The edge of the broad dragon wing shattered his half-inch-thick bronze shoulder armor on his right shoulder with overwhelming force!
"Ah!!"
Yu Tianheng let out a shrill scream, and his whole body flew more than 20 zhang like a kite with a broken string, and fell headfirst into the scalding hot oil mud pool by the roadside!
The fierce dragon-wing gale, with its remaining force, crashed and overturned the armored command vehicle behind it!
"Help! Erlong, Flender, please help me!!"
Yu Xiaogang tumbled to the ground with the overturned carriage, his face scraping a bloody mess on the black oil-splattered gravel.
He scrambled backward, completely losing the commanding presence he had displayed just moments before!
"Xiaogang!!"
Liu Erlong's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing the murderous intent of the 50,000-year-old dragon wings behind Su Chen locked onto Yu Xiaogang on the ground, and knowing that Yu Xiaogang was too terrified to unleash the full Golden Sacred Dragon, Liu Erlong and Flender could only grit their teeth and simultaneously burn their level 78 Soul Saint essence.
"Flender, stop him! Two-Horned Soul Fusion, Crimson Dragon Rends the Heavens!!"
The Fire Dragon Avatar and the true form of the Four-Eyed Cat Owl forcibly intertwined and merged, transforming into a crimson fire dragon phantom that was twenty feet long and had tattered wings. It crashed into Su Chen in mid-air with a blazing wave of fire!
"Two mere level 78 Soul Saint dare to try and stop a chariot?"
Before Su Chen could flap his wings a second time, a hundred-foot-long dark green snake shadow, accompanied by a foul wind, crashed down from the top of the cliff. It was none other than Dugu Bo, the level 92 Poison Douluo who had rushed down the cliff. He slammed his Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Tail Sweep hard onto the back of the Crimson Dragon Phantom!
At the same instant, Qian Renxue six-winged crimson-gold dragon pattern beside Su Chen surged, and the level 73 divine Soul Power transformed into a ten-foot-long dazzling Angel Holy Sword that slashed down. The tip of Su Chen's left-wing extreme cold ice spear also pierced the core of the crimson dragon phantom's chest like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave!
Boom!!
Three terrifying forces exploded simultaneously, and the forcibly condensed phantom of the red dragon crumbled and disintegrated inch by inch in mid-air!
Under the backlash of his Martial Soul, Flender's wings were charred black, and two of his ribs were broken. He crashed to the edge of the fire in a sorry state. Qian Renxue's Angel Holy Sword grazed Liu Erlong's left arm as she was blocking, and the holy flames instantly tore open the flesh of her left shoulder, leaving a deep, charred blood groove that revealed the bone, and blood gushed out!
"Get out of here! If we don't leave now, we'll all die here!!"
Liu Erlong, in excruciating pain, fully regained consciousness and knew that she had absolutely no chance of winning against Su Chen, who possessed a 50,000-year-old soul bone, and Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo.
Ignoring the blood gushing from her left shoulder, she swooped down and used her intact right arm to grab Yu Xiaogang, who was howling in the mud.
Flender, enduring excruciating pain in his ribs, swooped low over the edge, his eagle claws grabbing the half-dead Yu Tianheng by the collar in the mud. Under the cover of the billowing black smoke and hundreds of fleeing soldiers, the two of them fled like stray dogs toward the north entrance of the canyon!
Su Chen hovered in mid-air, watching the three disheveled figures disappear into the thick smoke, but did not order a pursuit.
There are still 40,000 elite cavalry from the capital region twenty miles to the north. It's not worth disrupting our retreat plan for three stray dogs that could be crushed at any moment.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the remaining cavalry of the pseudo-dynasty at the bottom of the valley were either engulfed in flames or turned into skeletons by the deadly poisonous mist of Dugu Bo and his daughter. All three thousand elite troops were wiped out!
In the center of the scorching hot earth, the icy protective shield quietly dissipated.
Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu hurriedly supported the swaying Shui Bing'er and rushed forward to meet her.
Looking at the young man before her, who had single-handedly annihilated three thousand iron cavalry like a god descending to earth, Shui Yue'er's large eyes were filled with shock and gratitude. "Thank you so much, Captain Su Chen, for saving us! If it weren't for you, my sister, my sisters, and I would have truly died at the hands of that despicable Yu Xiaogang today!"
Shui Bing'er mustered her strength to stand up straight, a hint of gratitude appearing on her pale, beautiful face. She bowed slightly and said, "Shui Bing'er from the Skywater Academy thanks Captain Su Chen for saving my life. I..."
Before the words were even finished, a sudden change occurred!
As soon as Shui Bing'er relaxed her tense mind, the Extreme Ice Phoenix essence that she had forcibly overdrawn to resist the three thousand iron cavalry suddenly went out of control and backfired!
With a soft crack, a terrifying layer of dark blue frost instantly spread from her heart to her eyelashes, completely freezing her life force. Her eyes closed, and her slender, cold body fell straight into Su Chen!
"Sister!!" Shui Yue'er cried out in fright.
With lightning speed, Su Chen stepped forward and reached out to embrace Shui Bing'er's slender waist, which was as frozen as ancient ice.
Just then, a clear and urgent Seven Kill Sword suddenly rang out from the sky five miles to the north, which was the highest retreat warning agreed upon by Sword Douluo Chen Xin!
Dugu Bo landed back on the ground and reported urgently in a deep voice, "Young Master, Sword Douluo's sword cry has arrived! The main force of 40,000 heavy cavalry from the capital camp has seen through the feint at the side road, and the vanguard has already approached within 20 miles. We absolutely cannot stay here any longer!"
Su Chen glanced down at Shui Bing'er, whose breath was weak and whose body was covered in blue frost, in his arms. With a sudden burst of strength, he scooped her up horizontally and turned around, shouting sharply:
"Yue'er, take your sisters from the Skywater Academy and stay close to me! The entire army must immediately leave South Valley to rendezvous with the convoy and retreat at full speed to Glazed Tile Fortress City!"
The group quickly rushed out of the south entrance of North Wind Canyon and joined the heavy chariot team of Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo, who were waiting to meet them. More than a hundred riders escorted the armored chariots and sped along the wide road leading to the southern border.
Dusk is approaching, and the setting sun is like blood.
After running for more than thirty miles, the outline of a majestic pass, thirty feet high and built entirely of black iron rocks, finally appeared on the horizon, with Nine Treasure Glazed Tile flags fluttering in the wind on the city wall!
Inside the speeding lead chariot, Su Chen looked at Shui Bing'er in his arms, whose breathing was almost stopped and whose chest was covered with a thick layer of dark blue Shui Bing'er. Without hesitation, he gathered pure and scalding Pure Yang Ancestral Dragon True Fire in his right palm, parted the frost-covered ice-blue collar of her clothes, and placed his fingertips directly on her Ice Seal and lifeless heart meridian!
