Countless demonic SemiDragons surrounded Xia Fan and Nicai. It turned out that this was a path of certain death. Whether Xia Fan chose to retreat or not, he would have to face thousands of enemies. From the beginning, the mastermind had never intended to let Xia Fan leave alive.
Roar!
A demonic dragon roared. It dragged its rotten body and jumped toward Xia Fan and Nicai.
Xia Fan leaped high into the air and punched the Flood Dragon's neck. A bloody hole appeared on the dragon's neck, and its black head fell to the ground, smashing into the rocks.
Without a doubt, with Xia Fan's power, he could fight any dragon. He was a man who had killed the Demon Dragon's Flame Soul. These monsters, whose levels were lower than dragons, were not a match for him.
But the difference in individual power could be made up for with numbers. Around Xia Fan, above his head, and even beneath his feet, there were black shadows. They formed a wall that blocked Xia Fan's way. Even if his bones were crushed, they would not allow him to escape.
Xia Fan ran like crazy. He used the Sky Wing family's famous slanting speed to try and break through the line of defense of the dragons. He drew a sharp arc in the narrow space. He was like a crescent moon scimitar.
But the sky dragons seemed to be able to predict Xia Fan's movements. Xia Fan's angle of attack was always the countless sky dragons. They kept attacking like crazy. They spat out Annihilation class dragon breaths. Even if they could not see Xia Fan's body, they would still use their dragon breaths to attack.
The dragon breaths created a barrage that forced Xia Fan back again and again. He had to retreat to a relatively safe corner. There was a group of dragons there, but Xia Fan had killed them. There was now an empty space.
As long as Xia Fan stayed in the circle of the dragons, the scary creatures did not rush to attack. It was as if they were being controlled by some mysterious power. They kept compressing the circle. The iron wall that surrounded Xia Fan and Nicai was getting tighter and tighter until there was no space left.
"They might have their eyes on your blood," Xia Fan said to Nicai while breathing heavily. Xia Fan panted and said to Nicai, "Your shoulder is injured and it's bleeding. Although they can't see me clearly when I move, they can sense your distance and position."
Nicai put her hand on her shoulder. Sticky blood was flowing. It was a cut. She did not know how the wound was caused until Xia Fan reminded her. She felt the burning pain.
"You are a member of the Demon Slayer Clan, and the Demon Slayer Clan has been fighting the demons on the frontlines for many years. The scent of the Demon Slayer Clan's blood has probably been engraved into the genes of demon creatures. Once an enemy encounters you, they will immediately go berserk. It's easy to prove this hypothesis. All I need to do is borrow some of your blood," said Xia Fan.
He used a short dagger to dip it in Ni Cai's blood. Then, his arm expanded, and with a sudden burst of strength, he threw the dagger.
Crack ~
In the blink of an eye, the blood-stained dagger stabbed into the chest of one of the wyverns. The other demonized wyverns immediately pounced forward and attacked their companion.
They used their sharp teeth to tear at the muscles and bones of their companions, completely ignoring the screams of their companions. In a few seconds, the dragon that was stained with Ni Cai's blood was gnawed into a skeleton.
The demonized wyverns licked their tongues greedily, their eyes glowing green. This little bit of blood from the Demon Slayer Clan was obviously not enough to satisfy them. They felt even hungrier and wanted more of Ni Cai's flesh.
Her speculation was confirmed. Ni Cai's face turned pale.
She looked at the skinny man who had his back against her. He did not speak much, but he never made a mistake. When they were trapped in the Demon Palace, Xia Fan had helped her escape. He had even moved the distance between them to the centimeter.
It was as if Xia Fan had a pair of magical eyes that could always see through the truth of everything. This kind of ability would help him go further on the path of fighting against the demons. But now, he was being dragged down by her, step by step, falling into darkness.
Suddenly ~
Ni Cai hugged Xia Fan from behind gently, like a lover who had fallen in love for the first time. She hugged her boyfriend shyly and nervously. Even though her movements were not practiced, Ni Cai's body involuntarily wrapped around him like a water snake.
Xia Fan felt his muscles stiffen. As a single dog, he was not used to being too intimate with the opposite sex. Moreover, this was clearly not the time for a hug.
"Goddess, are you giving me a pitiful hug because you think we're going to die soon?" Xia Fan teased.
One needed confidence to survive. Xia Fan was actually very good at motivating others. He would use his humor and words to ease the tension of his teammates. He didn't do this before because his partner was Fo You. Fo You didn't care about anything in his life. He didn't care about life and death, so he didn't need any encouragement. The more dangerous the situation was, the more excited Fo You became.
Ni Cai was a woman without a backbone. At home, she obeyed her elders. In the army, she obeyed her superiors. After living in the mezzanine area with Xia Fan, Ni Cai listened to everything Xia Fan said.
The so-called goddess was actually a well-behaved child. She never voiced her own opinions. Even when it came to choosing a boyfriend, Ni Cai maintained a high degree of caution. Her starting point was whether the elders in her family were satisfied, not whether she really liked him.
All her life, Ni Cai lived for others. Her behavior was dignified because she was afraid of losing face for her family. She studied and cultivated diligently because she believed that she could not let down the care of her teacher.
Every day, she had to dress up like a lady. Just tidying up her hair and putting on makeup took a full hour and thirty minutes. Just thinking about it was really annoying. Even if she was just taking a walk on the street, she had to sit in front of the dressing table and be surrounded by a group of maids. She was like a pet doll that was dressed up in a way that she didn't like.
If she had a choice, Ni Cai would prefer to be like the ordinary girls in Hidden Demon City. She would wear shorts and a pair of flip-flops, go to a dirty stall on the street to buy an ice cream, and then laugh with her female companions, talking about the sexiest man in Hidden Demon City. She did not care about the eyes of passersby.
Nicai had never been to a bar, nor had she been to a nightclub. She imagined herself in a sexy outfit, holding a cocktail, flirting with the men surrounding her in a nightclub. She was alone in the middle of the dance floor, dancing to the intense rhythm.
However, all of this was just her imagination. She cared too much about the opinions of her family and others. In manga terms, she was bound by her own character. Even though she had a pair of magical wings, those wings did not bring her the thing called freedom.
Xia Fan sped up a few more times, trying his best to bring Ni Cai out of the demonic wyvern's encirclement. However, the monsters that smelled Ni Cai's blood were already excited. In order to taste a mouthful of her delicious blood, they did not fear death and dared to use their bodies to block Xia Fan's path.
Xia Fan tried to use the Beast King Era to control the wyvern's mind. Unfortunately, they were wyverns, second only to the dragons. They had extremely high resistance, and they had been demonized. The Beast King Era could only give them a temporary mental shock. It was not enough to turn the tide of the battle.
Ni Cai lay on Xia Fan's back. She knew that his heart was beating more and more violently, and his breathing was getting heavier. Xia Fan kept using the precious Level Nine Energy Crystals to replenish his body that was on the verge of collapse.
Xia Fan did not complain at all. Between the gaps of the battle, Xia Fan continued to use his humorous words to cheer Nicai on. He had worked so hard, but he could not see any hope of survival. If it were not for him, Xia Fan would have already killed his way out with his speed.
"Don't be silly. My family never abandons their teammates." When Xia Fan heard Ni Cai asking him to put him down, he immediately shook his head and said resolutely, "Don't worry. The boat will cross the bridge when it comes to it. There will always be a way."
"But at times like this, I really miss Fo You a little. With him as my human shield, these guys are no match for me."
The more indifferent Xia Fan looked, the more upset Ni Cai felt. She cherished the time she spent with Xia Fan. It was the happiest time of her life.
She listened to Xia Fan's jokes and drank Fo You's tea. Whenever Xia Fan and Fo You bickered, these two mischievous fellows would always make Ni Cai convulse with laughter.
In front of Xia Fan and Fo You, Ni Cai did not have to worry about her ladylike image. Two men and a woman in swimsuits soaked in the pool, and the two guys did not feel anything wrong. It was as if in their eyes, life should be like this. Even the swimming pool could not be divided by gender, right?
It would be great if they could stay in the mezzanine area and not return to Hidden Demon City.
But now, Xia Fan and she were about to die. No matter how hard they tried, they could not get rid of the flood dragon's pursuit. Although Xia Fan would never admit it, Ni Cai knew very well that it was all her fault. The Demon Slayer bloodline made the flood dragon crazy. Those monsters only wanted her. If not for her, Xia Fan would have been able to escape.
He was so fast, so graceful, so accurate, and his words so humorous …
"Hold me tight …"
Ni Cai suddenly hugged Xia Fan from behind desperately. Without saying a word, she pressed her slightly pale red lips against Xia Fan's dry lips and kissed him deeply.
She was about to die, and Ni Cai did not want to die without even having her first kiss.
