Once the Dragon Tree Monster disappeared, the net in the sky would disappear too. At this time, the protective barrier was gone. Without the net, the Black Bats and Soaring Centipedes would come down in full force.
As the City Lord, he was really going all out. Personally going to extinguish the fire was equivalent to fighting against Number Nine. Compared to the Fire Dragon City Lord, he hadn't done anything at all. Not only did he not do anything, but he slipped away as soon as the sky brightened. He didn't even bring the Deputy City Lord.
At the moment of his death, everyone in the City Lord's Manor probably hated him, including the Deputy City Lord and the Commander.
But what was the point of hating him? In the end, he was the only one who survived. Everyone else died. Personal hatred was worthless. Because in Coiling Dragon World, there was no such thing as hell. He didn't need to be afraid of ghosts looking for him.
Ghosts were just weak spiritual bodies. One slap could shatter them. Moreover, people eaten by the Sky Demons wouldn't have a soul left.
Wood Dragon City's battle was quite fierce. In the end, the city was still broken. All the Dragon Gate Cannons on the City Lord's Manor's roof were broken. They weren't destroyed, but because they were fired continuously, they overheated and exploded. There were just too many black bats and the flying centipedes were really hard to deal with.
The Dragons members in the 12 buildings around the City Lord's Manor all died. The City Lord's Manor was also smashed. In the end, the City Lord himself flew into the sky to fight Number Nine alone. With his hard work, he finally managed to hold out until the sky brightened.
Theoretically, the Sky Demons should have retreated after the sky brightened.
After the sky brightened, Number Nine's strength would drop and he wouldn't bother the City Lord anymore. If he did, he would be at a disadvantage.
But the City Lord wasn't in a good state either. One of his arms was broken and there was a big hole on the side of his body. During the battle with Number Nine, a flying centipede had bitten off a piece of his body.
"Old thing, it's already daybreak and you still aren't running. I think you are looking to die."
Number Nine had thought that the City Lord would retreat immediately. Then, he would bring his subordinates to destroy the City Lord's Manor and kill everyone else. At least, he would be able to answer to the leader. At least, he wouldn't be worse than Number Ten.
As a result, the City Lord of Wood Dragon City risked his life to protect his subordinates, not letting Number Nine get close. He wanted to hold on for a little longer. When the sun completely rose, there would be many people living in the City Lord's Mansion. At that time, everyone would retreat together, and they would only need to hold on for another ten minutes or so.
Unfortunately, he had the wrong idea and guessed the wrong person's heart. Just as he was struggling to hold on, the teleportation array in the City Lord Mansion opened.
According to the rules, it had to be opened during the day. When the Teleportation Array opened, the two Deputy City Lords hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed to leave. On the other hand, the commander immediately teleported away. Before he left, he said, "Hurry up and leave. Don't waste the good intentions of the City Lord."
After saying this, he immediately went in and disappeared without a trace in a flash of strong light.
When the two Deputy City Lords saw that this was indeed the case, they simply lowered their heads and entered the teleportation array.
Everyone saw that the Deputy City Lord and Commander had left. What were they waiting for? Hurry up and go in. Therefore, the remaining people also hurried into the teleportation formation. To be honest, they did manage to sneak through a part of it.
But soon, the teleportation formation was closed. Because the black bats flew down and approached the teleportation formation, as long as there was an abnormal situation, the passage would immediately be closed. Therefore, the remaining people had no way to teleport away.
"Damn it, why did it close so quickly?"
"Yeah, we haven't gone over yet."
They cursed loudly, saying that the people who went over before were heartless and didn't wait for them. But no one thought about why the teleportation formation was closed.
Because they were all in a hurry to escape, no one stopped the black bats from invading, which caused the teleportation formation to close automatically.
Not only did these people not care about the black bats, but they also didn't care about the City Lord's life. They made the City Lord lose half of his body and fight hard in the sky.
It was daytime. If everyone had not fled but fought back, they might have had a chance of winning. Now that the people with High Cultivation Level had run away, the remaining people didn't have the courage to fight to the death.
The City Lord looked down and knew that most of them had fled. Anyway, he couldn't leave, so he simply hugged Deputy Number Nine.
"Old man, you're crazy. Let go of me."
Deputy Number Nine immediately reacted. He knew what the City Lord of Wood Dragon City was trying to do. He instinctively wanted to break free. But it was too late. The moment the City Lord protected him, he immediately detonated his inner core.
"Boom!"
A mushroom cloud bloomed in the sky, bigger and brighter than the previous one.
Deputy Number Nine's body was made of iron, but he was instantly vaporized. The temperature at the center of the explosion was too high, and the impact was unbelievably strong.
The black bats and flying centipedes that were about to pounce were smashed into powder by the shockwave. The number of dead was equivalent to half the number of extraterrestrial demons killed last night.
After all, he was a City Lord who had been stuck at the peak of the Nine Changes Level Nine Divine Emperor for millions of years. All he needed was to break through to the Saint level. The power of the self-detonation was extraordinary, and it almost wiped out all the extraterrestrial demons in the sky.
Those who hadn't managed to escape in time were also affected. But fortunately, some of the ruined walls of the City Lord's Mansion shielded them, and they were far away, so they were not killed by the shockwave.
"Run!"
"Run!"
The members of the Dragon Clan who survived the calamity did not care so much anymore. They scampered away.
Having lost Deputy Number Nine, the black bats and flying centipedes did not chase after them. It was already daytime. Out of instinct, they hid in their lair. Just like that, a group of people really managed to escape.
They fled in the direction of the Holy Dragon City, of course. Because the Holy Dragon City had promised to take in all those who survived.
"Brother Mu, it's not worth it for you to die for these bastards."
The City Lord of Sword Dragon City saw everything from the water planet, especially when he saw the self-detonation. He could not help but weep.
The City Lord of Fire Dragon City was so carefree, running away by himself. The higher-ups would not blame him anyway. It was good enough that he could survive under such terrible circumstances. As long as he could hold on until dawn, he would have completed his mission. He would even have made a great contribution. Why do you have to throw your life away just to let others run away?
Of course, the City Lord of Sword Dragon City was not feeling good either. He had a feeling that the extraterrestrial demons' next target was this place, and the next wave of attacks would be even more ferocious.
The other party had just lost Deputy Number Nine. They would definitely seek revenge in a frenzy.
