"How … how could this be …"
Seeing his most powerful fire-type spell being so easily disintegrated, the old man's haughty expression sank. When he looked at Chu Bei again, his eyes were filled with dread.
At this point, if he still didn't know that he had kicked a hard board, then he really would be an idiot.
What shocked him even more was that he couldn't determine whether the opponent was a warrior or a magus!
The old man didn't think for too long. After all, regardless of whether the opponent was a warrior or a magus, they were both of the ninth rank. He was no match for them!
Rumble!
The earth rumbled. The old man immediately ordered the Velocidragon beneath his feet to flee in the direction they had come from.
"You've already made your move, and you still think you can leave safely?"
However, the Velocidragon hadn't even run a hundred meters when Chu Bei's disdainful, mocking voice drifted through the air.
In the next moment, Chu Bei appeared above the Velocidragon's head in a single step, blocking the old man's path.
Boom!
Chu Bei pointed a finger. Not to mention a magus of the eighth rank, even a warrior of the eighth rank wouldn't be able to withstand Chu Bei's attack.
Amidst the sound of an explosion, the old man's body exploded into a cloud of flesh and blood.
After witnessing the old man's death, the Velocidragon of the seventh rank began to tremble. Then, as if it had gone mad, it charged madly towards the Forest of Magical Beasts.
But before it could run far, its body suddenly stiffened, as if it had been bound by an invisible force. Then, as if a terrifying energy had been injected into its limbs, it exploded into a pile of flesh and blood.
"Dead! That magus of the eighth rank and the Velocidragon of the seventh rank are both dead! "
"Haha, we're fine, we're safe!"
"A warrior of the ninth rank, he must be a warrior of the ninth rank!"
"No, he must be a magus of the ninth rank!"
…..
Hogg, Hillman, and the others stared blankly at the blood-stained ground in the distance. When they came back to their senses, they all revealed excited expressions.
Then, they all cupped their fists and thanked Chu Bei, their faces filled with respect.
A warrior of the ninth rank, no matter if he was a warrior or a magus, no matter where he was, would receive the respect of the world.
"So strong!"
Little Linley stared at Chu Bei with a face full of adoration.
"Linley, did this lord really say that he would accept you as his disciple?"
Hogg seemed to have thought of something. He immediately lowered his head to look at Linley, his voice filled with excitement.
"Yes, Lord Father." Linley nodded heavily.
"Haha, our Baruch clan has a chance to rise to prominence!"
Upon receiving Linley's confirmation, Hogg began to laugh heartily, as though his entire body had suddenly relaxed.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the distant eastern sky.
"Look!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed. Everyone couldn't help but look towards the eastern sky.
In his line of sight, high up in the sky, he saw a hundred-meter-long black dragon flying over. Its eyes were like huge wheels, and the black dragon scales on its huge body shone with a chilling light.
Every time it flapped its huge wings, which had a wingspan of over a hundred meters, it would scatter the surrounding white clouds.
"That's a Black Dragon!"
As a member of the Baruch clan, Hogg naturally knew all types of dragons.
Black Dragons were one of the most powerful magical beasts. Generally speaking, they were magical beasts of the ninth rank. The experts in their clan might even be at the Saint-level.
But of course, regardless of whether it was a magical beast of the ninth rank or a Saint-level, they were vastly superior to the Velocidragon from earlier.
"First a Velocidragon of the seventh rank, then a magus of the eighth rank, and now a Black Dragon of the ninth rank, and even a Saint-level magical beast! Good heavens, what is going on with our little Wushan township today?! "
"I'm afraid you've forgotten about our savior! He's also a combatant of the ninth rank! "
The townsfolk stared at the hundred-meter-long Black Dragon in the eastern sky, their hearts filled with shock.
"There's someone atop the Black Dragon's head!" Hillman cried out in shock.
Looking over, they saw a gray-robed man standing proudly atop the Black Dragon's head.
The wind howled, and the gray-robed man's robes fluttered in the wind. But the gray-robed man stood as straight as a spear, as steady as a boulder in the wind.
Swish!
A piercing sound could be heard.
In front of the gray-robed man and the Black Dragon, a green-robed middle-aged man came to a halt in mid-air, facing the gray-robed man from afar. On his back, he carried a longsword.
"His weapon is a sword! He's a warrior, a warrior who can stand in mid-air! "
"This is the mark of a Saint-level combatant!"
Staring at the green-robed man in mid-air, Hogg, Hillman, and the others all had looks of deep astonishment on their faces.
Earlier, in the battle with the magus of the eighth rank, although Chu Bei had also flown in mid-air, he hadn't flown too far or too high. Thus, in the eyes of the others, Chu Bei had merely used the wind-style Soaring Technique, and could only hover in mid-air for a short period of time.
But this green-robed man was different. He was actually standing in mid-air, hundreds of meters in the air!
"So that means that gray-robed man standing atop the Black Dragon's head is also a Saint-level combatant!"
"Good heavens! Two Saint-level combatants! How many Saint-level combatants can there be in the entire Kingdom of Fenlai? "
Everyone's gazes shifted back and forth between the gray-robed man and the green-robed man, so much so that they completely ignored their savior, Chu Bei.
"Dillon, hand it over!"
The gray-robed man stood atop the Black Dragon's head, glaring angrily at the green-robed man. His cold voice reverberated through the skies, clearly reaching the ears of every single resident of Wushan township.
"Ludi, aren't you going too far?! You actually want to steal from me! "The green-robed man stared coldly at the gray-robed man, his face dark.
"What? They are the Stellar Sword Saint Dillon and the Saint-level Arch Magus Ludi! "
Upon hearing the names of the green-robed man and the gray-robed man, Hillman and Hogg's faces instantly changed, filled with astonishment.
They were puzzled. What were these two famous figures fighting over?!
"Dillon, do you think you are a match for me?"
As Ludi's cold voice rang out, the enormous Black Dragon beneath his feet suddenly let out a loud roar. Its enormous wings flapped, and a terrifying aura of power emanated outwards.
"So this is the aura of a dragon?"
Despite being so far away, Hogg, Hillman, and the other residents could all sense this terrifying aura. All of them began to pant, and their legs began to grow weak.
Rumble!
Just as everyone was about to faint from the pressure, an enormous barrier of light suddenly appeared around them. With the isolation of this layer of light shield, everyone instantly recovered.
"It was that lord who protected us!" The residents seemed to realize something, and they once again bowed towards Chu Bei in gratitude.
"Ludi, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Dillon roared, unsheathing the longsword on his back. A thunderous sword hum reverberated through the skies.
"Since you refuse to come to your senses, then don't blame me for what happens next!"
Ludi narrowed his eyes. As his cold voice rang out, the Black Dragon beneath his feet suddenly opened its enormous maw, spitting out a stream of black flames towards Dillon.
The black flames moved extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they covered Dillon's entire body like smoke.
"Fight!"
Dillon's body began to shine with a dazzling jade-green light, blocking the black flames. At the same time, he slashed out with his sword.
With a ripping sound, a gigantic sword ray that was dozens of meters long cut through the air, viciously chopping towards Ludi.
* Rumble! *
High up in the sky, the two Saint-level combatants were engaged in a fierce battle. All sorts of brilliant lights flashed.
The battle continued for an unknown period of time.
Finally …
"Pfff!"
The Stellar Sword Saint Dillon was injured. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
"Dillon, you'd better hand it over. You can't defeat the World Protector that I've summoned."
Ludi continued to stand atop the Black Dragon's head, and behind him floated an enormous earthen giant.
Hearing Ludi's words, Dillon's expression became extremely unsightly. Not long after, as if he had made a difficult decision, he harshly said, "Ludi, if I can't have it, then neither can you!"
Hearing this, not only did Ludi's expression change, but even Chu Bei's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, Chu Bei seemed to have suddenly remembered something. The playful expression on his face disappeared, and with a single step, he appeared in the middle of Dillon and Ludi's battle.
"Quick, look! His Lordship … he's entered the battle as well. "
"What is he doing?"
Chu Bei's appearance in the battle instantly became the focus of everyone in Wushan township.
"Did you see that? Our benefactor is standing in the air as well!"
"Could it be that our benefactor isn't of the ninth rank, but rather a Saint-level combatant like those two?"
"But then again, what is our benefactor's goal in entering the battle at this time?"
"Could it be that he is also fighting over the treasures those two are fighting over?"
…..
All of the townsfolk began to speculate amongst themselves.
"Who might you be, sir? Can you tell us your name? "
Chu Bei's appearance caused both Ludi and Dillon to reveal a hint of wariness on their faces.
For him to be able to stand in the air meant that he was also a Saint-level combatant.
For a Saint-level combatant to appear at a time like this, they couldn't help but suspect his motives.
"You will know who I am in the future." Chu Bei swept Ludi and Dillon with his gaze, then said calmly, his words filled with confidence.
"Since you won't say, sir, then I won't ask any further. What is your goal, sir? "Ludi frowned, then opened his mouth to ask.
Chu Bei didn't answer Ludi's question. Instead, he turned to look at Dillon. "Is that a Shadoweater Rat of the ninth rank in your hands?"
"How did you know?"
A hint of surprise flashed through Dillon's eyes, and then he let out a cold snort. "So you came for it as well!"
"Haha, if I can't have it, then neither can you!"
Dillon suddenly began to laugh loudly, and then his tightly clenched left hand suddenly began to glow with a jade-green light.
"Stop!"
Seeing the jade-green light in Dillon's left hand grow brighter and brighter, Ludi's face changed dramatically.
In the next instant, he began to chant an incantation, controlling the earthen giant behind him to fly towards Dillon.
"You won't be able to stop me!"
Dillon's eyes were filled with a bloody light, and he seemed to have gone mad. The green light in his left hand grew even more dazzling, and one could vaguely see a black object swelling up in his left hand.
Screech!
A miserable cry sounded out from Dillon's tightly clenched hand.
