Prada looked at Dio and said in a deep voice, "I can't promise you that I can lead everyone out of here, but I can guarantee that if someone dies in the second place, it will be me."
Dio raised his right hand, and Prada also extended his right hand to shake his. Dio forcefully pulled his hand down. Prada was slightly stunned, and he lowered his head. His body blocked the others' view, and they could clearly see Dio's lips moving as if he was saying something to him. However, there was no sound, only the shape of his mouth. He was saying, 'Take care of Nelle for me.'
At this moment, a series of low roars suddenly sounded. The members of Dio's team raised their heads. When they saw the situation around them, everyone, including Dio and Prada, showed a look of despair.
At least 20 earth dragons were slowly surrounding them, and they were slowly approaching them.
The biggest mistake of Dior's team was that they had underestimated the number of Earth Dragons in the Sanhe Mountain Range. The Earth Dragons here all lived in groups, and they were extremely dense. Even though this was only the periphery of the Sanhe Mountain Range, the number of dragons between the fourth and the sixth rank was rather large. They had fought with the Earth Dragons twice, and the roars of the Earth Dragons and the smell of blood had attracted other Earth Dragons. At this moment, they finally understood what despair was.
Dio murmured, "Are we really going to die here? It's me, I've let everyone down. I shouldn't have brought you here."
Prada said angrily, "Why are you still blaming yourself at a time like this? Everyone agreed on this, so how can you be the only one to be blamed? If we die, then die. At most, we'll be brothers again in our next lives. Even if I die, I'll drag a few of you down with me. Earth dragons, you bastards, come."
Just as Prada roared, a calm voice rang in their ears. "You're just a brute. Compared to Dio, you're indeed lacking. If the Ground Dragon is a bastard, then what are we humans who entered the Ground Dragon's territory? We're the ones who disturbed their peaceful lives. "
Prada froze for a moment and turned to look with his other companions. They saw eleven people led by the white-haired young man named Ji Dong, who they had just met not long ago, had come to their side.
Whether it was Dio or his companions, they all hated the Heavenly Stem Saints. From the beginning to the end, Ji Dong and the others hadn't made a move against the Ground Dragon. In their opinion, if Ji Dong and the others had lent a helping hand when dealing with the Ground Dragon, they might have already broken through the encirclement.
Prada Hyōhime said angrily, "You're a bastard too. All of you are. Dior must be blind to have invited you guys along. What else can you do other than make sarcastic remarks? Alright, this time we'll all die here together. How can you still make sarcastic remarks when I see hell? "
Ji Dong smiled and said, "Although you're a little reckless, you're still a true man. Du Ming, Tianyi, Xin 'er, I'll leave these Ground Dragons to you guys. Remember, don't kill any of them. Leave one Ground Dragon of each attribute alive."
Du Ming and Du Xin 'er were Ji Dong's disciples, at least in name. Lang Tianyi was also from the Prince Equivalent's faction, so there was nothing wrong with Ji Dong using such an authoritative tone with them. As for the others, Ji Dong would naturally use other methods to communicate.
"Yes, Teacher."
"Yes, Young Master."
The three of them answered at the same time. Just as the restless Ground Dragons were about to pounce on them, the three of them moved at the same time.
They pounced in different directions, and the three of them released their magical powers at the same time.
Extreme Ninth Water, which was like a heavenly river, Extreme Seventh Metal, which was resplendent and bright, and Extreme Fifth Earth, which was as heavy as gold, burst forth in an instant.
The attribute suppression from the Extreme Magic instantly spread to every corner within a radius of 100 meters. The expressions of Dio and his companions changed drastically, and they were all stunned. Although they didn't know what kind of magical power Du Ming and his companions were displaying, the effect of the Extreme Magic was simply too terrifying. They couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resisting. Looking at the three resplendent colors, Dio's mentality also changed.
Ji Dong didn't even look at the actions of Du Ming and his companions. Instead, he walked up to Dio and squatted down. He took out a bottle of Life Essence from his Vermillion Bird Bracelet and said with a smile, "Although you were a little impulsive when you brought your companions to the Three Unity Mountain Range, you were able to remain calm in the face of danger. You tried your best to mobilize the strength of your companions, and even sacrificed yourself in exchange for your companions' safety. You are an outstanding leader. Pressure is also a source of motivation. This time, you didn't collapse under the pressure. You are the victor. I hope that after this lesson, you will be more cautious and mature in everything you do in the future."
On the surface, Dio seemed to be older than Ji Dong. However, Ji Dong had lived two lives, and his real age was already over 50 years old. Therefore, it was only natural for him to teach Dio a lesson like this.
Opening the bottle, a drop of dark green liquid fell into Dio's mouth. Immediately, a dense life energy burst forth from Dio's body.
The Life Essence was a priceless treasure for a Wood Element Demon Master. Moreover, Dio had just ignited his Life Essence. At this moment, his body was immediately replenished by a large amount of Life Essence. Not only could his body recover, but after this narrow escape from death, his cultivation would also advance.
Sensing that Dio's life energy was rapidly recovering, the young girl called Nair actually fell to her knees. Hyōhime also fell to her knees, choking with sobs.
Chen Sixuan stepped forward to help Nair up. She smiled at her and said, "Cherish this feeling. Being able to find a lover who is willing to sacrifice his life for you is the greatest fortune of your life." Although she was speaking to Nair, her gaze was still on Ji Dong.
On the other side, Du Ming and his companions had already made their move.
The elemental suppression immediately frightened the restless Earth Dragons. However, just because the Earth Dragons didn't move, it didn't mean that Du Ming and his companions wouldn't move. Three people, three different elemental attributes, and three different battle styles, all of which were displayed at almost the same time.
Dense cold Qi burst forth from the Ultimate Ninth Water Magical Energy. Du Ming would absolutely carry out Ji Dong's orders to the end. As a result, the magical energy he emitted directly spread out in a ring. With his current cultivation of the Ultimate Ninth Water Magical Energy, unless he encountered a Class 9 Magical Beast, all magical beasts below Class 9 would be affected by his elemental suppression. This was only the outskirts of the Three Harmonies Mountain Range. The majority of the magical beasts that surrounded them were Class 4 and Class 5. There were even a few Class 6 magical beasts. How could they possibly be a match for him? The reason why Ji Dong had sent the three of them out was to quickly end the battle in front of them.
The extremely cold Ultimate Ninth Water Magical Energy was emitted from the ground. In almost an instant, the legs of the seven or eight Earth Dragons had already been frozen solid. They struggled in fear, but how could they abandon their lower limbs? Du Ming's performance conformed to the rules of the game, and then he broke through them one by one.
Du Xin 'er's fighting style was completely different. It was unknown if she had been infected by Ah Jin, but when she attacked, she actually took the path of violence.
Dazzling golden light constantly flashed in the air, like bolts of lightning stabbing out. Her magical energy consumption was obviously greater than Du Ming's, but in just a few breaths' time, the thighs of all the Earth Dragons in her direction had been pierced by the Ultimate Seventh Metal Magical Energy. In the midst of their screams, they fell to the ground one by one, losing the ability to move. Her attack style was somewhat similar to the icicles used by Prada and his companions. However, her attack method and strength were far from what Prada and the others could compare to.
Lang Tianyi's attack was the most unique. He did not use a wide range of attacks, but directly approached. Under the watchful eyes of Dio's companions, Lang Tianyi's first target was a grade six Armored Dragon King.
He punched out, hitting the hardest part of the Armored Dragon King's head. The Armored Dragon King let out a sad cry, and its body was actually knocked a meter into the ground. Immediately after, Lang Tianyi's body had already flipped in the air and arrived behind the Armored Dragon King. He grabbed the scales on the back of the Armored Dragon King and threw it behind him. The huge body of the Armored Dragon King immediately flew into the air and fell heavily to a place not far from Ji Dong and the others.
After becoming a Heavenly Dry Earth Holy Disciple, Lang Tianyi's mana had also broken through to the seventh crown. In addition to the purification of the Ultimate Earth Element mana, as well as the actual combat techniques inherited from the Diamond Corps, his strength was more than a level higher than Du Ming and his sister. As his body flipped in the air, the Earth Dragons could not resist at all. All the grade six Earth Dragons were directly thrown in front of everyone, and those that were below grade six were thrown far away. It did not take much mana for Lang Tianyi to end the battle.
The twenty or so Earth Dragons that surrounded them were all taken care of in a few breaths. A total of four grade six Earth Dragons were also thrown in front of everyone, and they had all lost the ability to resist.
Prada and the others' jaws dropped. As Dio's life force recovered, he also saw the latter half of the process. He and his companions were already dumbfounded. From the looks of it, everyone's age was about the same, and the average age of Ji Dong's side was only slightly older than them. However, these Earth Dragons were like paper in the hands of Lang Tianyi.
At this moment, Dio finally understood that the reason why Lang Tianyi did not make a move earlier was not because he was unwilling to help them, but because he felt that it was beneath him to make a move against these Earth Dragons.
One was a seven-crown, two were a five-crown, and they were using inconceivable mana attributes. Who exactly were Ji Dong's people? Moreover, these three people were obviously following Ji Dong's orders. In that case, what kind of strength did this white-haired youth named Ji Dong have?!
Under the inconceivable gazes of Dio and the others, Du Ming's group of three had already turned around. They returned to Ji Dong's side as if they had done the simplest thing possible. These rank four to rank six magic beasts were indeed unable to pose any threat to them. No matter how many of them there were, it was useless.
Ji Dong extended his hand to Dio and pulled him up from the ground. He said, "Your body will gradually recover. After leaving this place, find a place to cultivate as soon as possible. You should still be able to grow. This time, entering the Three Harmony Mountain Range will be a lesson for you. These four rank six Earth Dragons are for you. I believe that since you dared to come here, you naturally have the ability to tame them. Four rank six Earth Dragons is not a wasted trip. I originally wanted to help you gather ten of them, but our time is limited, so we can't accompany you any longer. Take the Earth Dragons and leave."
As he said that, both of Ji Dong's eyes suddenly lit up. To Dio's astonishment, Ji Dong's eyes actually flickered with a golden and black radiance. Immediately afterwards, he waved his hands. Two balls of light, one gold and one black, simultaneously lit up and fell on the ground on both sides of his body. As if facing the wind, the two balls of light collided at the same time. In a short time, they actually condensed into human figures. Each of them was three meters tall, and there seemed to be a faint crown on their heads. Pressing Dual Fire Auras soared, causing Dio and the others to subconsciously take a few steps back.
These two figures, one black and one gold, were condensed from mana. They were the demonic skills Ji Dong had inherited from the two Sovereigns — Holy Fire Elemental Body and Devil Flame Elemental Body. The ultimate meaning of these two skills was to summon a monarch level elemental body. Of course, Ji Dong was still quite a distance away from that level. However, the Flame Commander and Devil Flame Commander that he summoned were already quite powerful. Before their mana was exhausted, they would at least have a cultivation equivalent to two Seven Crown Demon Masters. It was impossible for Ji Dong to personally escort Dio and the others. However, with these two great elemental bodies, it was not a problem. Relying on his powerful soul power, it was naturally easy for him to control these two elemental bodies.
"The Flame Commander and Devil Flame Commander will escort you out of the Three Harmony Mountain Range. After you leave this place, if you are willing, you can go to the Central Plains City's Demon Master Headquarters to learn the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Circulation Formation. Goodbye." As he spoke, Ji Dong waved his hand at Dio and the others with a smile on his face. The Heavenly Stem Saints and Bright Divination Saint leaped up at the same time and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Dio and his companions stared blankly in the direction that Ji Dong and the others had left in. If it was not for the existence of the two great elemental bodies, they would have really suspected that they were dreaming.
Right at this moment, a strand of white hair floated down from the sky and landed in Dio's hand. The ends of that strand of white hair were respectively golden and black. Dio knew that this was the keepsake that Ji Dong had left for him.
"Thank you, Ji Dong. Although I do not know who you are, it is our greatest fortune to have met you. I just want to say that the feeling of being alive is really good. If there is a chance in the future, Dio will definitely repay this kindness today. Let's go." Then, he led his companions and bowed in the direction that the Heavenly Stem Saints had left.
