Now, it was too late to retreat. Besides, they did not know where to go. There was no safe place in the forests of Shadowed Scar.
"Back to the plains?" asked the old Buddhist Beads Master.
"Retreat!" said Wei Huan.
The group began to retreat towards the peaceful plains. However, the dark ancient dragons had no intention of letting them go. A group of ancient dragons with red fangs had already circled behind them!
A battle was unavoidable!
"Slash!"
Finally, with a sharp cry, the dark ancient dragons lunged at them like a pack of hungry black wolves!
The battle broke out instantly. All the disciples of Alioth released their flying swords that were on alert. The flying swords filled the sky like shooting stars, producing beautiful sword flames as they brushed against the air. It was brilliant, but at the same time, filled with a murderous aura.
The Golden Exalts and Xuan Ge's Royal Divine Army used their abilities together. The Golden Exalts chanted where they stood, and as they chanted, pagodas of golden light rose up from the ground one after another. The pagodas formed a forest of pagodas, making them impregnable. They could keep the swift dark dragons at bay.
Xuan Ge's Royal Divine Army summoned mechs that floated in the air. These mechs were like the heroic spirits of the ancient gods. They lined up into a wall around the Royal Divine Army, protecting Xuan Ge and his faction's gods inside.
Alioth, Xuan Ge's Celestial Temple, and Tian Shu's Celestial Temple all had their own formations. The members they chose were also people who knew these powerful ancient formations. Even in a chaotic battle, they could ensure the safety of their gods.
After entering the banyan forest, Xuan Ge had told Zhu Minglang not to summon dragons above the Celestial level. Otherwise, the ancient dragons on the banyan peaks would be alerted.
Therefore, Zhu Minglang could not be of much use in this battle.
Zhu Minglang noticed that many of Alioth's female disciples and fairies were still standing around him. "Why are you all circling around me? Go to the Sword Formation of Bells!"
"If Honorable Zhu can't summon a dragon, we should naturally protect you. This is what Honorable Tang instructed us to do," Kong Qiao said with a serious expression.
The other Heavenly Ladies, including Lou Qian and Bai Qinan, nodded their heads. They looked as though the opportunity had finally arrived for them to display their heroism as female swordmasters. They would definitely make Zhu Minglang look at them in a different light!
Zhu Minglang felt a headache coming on.
Even if he couldn't summon a dragon, he didn't need their protection.
Don't you see that these Ancient Dragons don't even look at me?
It was a fact that Ancient Dragons were ferocious and brutal, but they were not brainless.
Even without a dragon by his side, Zhu Minglang still exuded the scent of a dragon. Those ancient dragons naturally knew that Zhu Minglang was not to be trifled with.
"It's fine, it's fine. Just protect yourselves. As long as you don't summon a Master God-level dragon, you won't attract the attention of the real Dragon Lords," Zhu Minglang said.
He summoned the Little Golden Dragon, the Blue Phoenix Dragon, and the Smelting Black Dragon. These three dragons had yet to reach the Master God-level, but their combat strength was on par with the dark Ancient Dragons.
Especially the Smelting Black Dragon. Once it saw that it was also an ancient dragon species, and was also a predator, it immediately exuded the aura of a predator. This aura was like a sandstorm, making the Smelting Black Dragon's originally burly body look even more domineering. Without waiting for Zhu Minglang's orders, the Smelting Black Dragon had already started tearing at the three dark ancient dragons!
These dark Ancient Dragons were also very strong. They were already difficult to deal with on their own, but they were also dragons that lived in groups.
There were not many species of dragons in the Dragon Race, but all the species that lived in groups were very terrifying. Zhu Minglang still remembered the Hui Dragons he encountered in the North Desolate Mountain Range. There were hundreds and thousands of them, and they were small in size and could kill without leaving a trace!
These dark Ancient Dragons were obviously more terrifying than the Hui Dragons. Their individual cultivations were very high, not inferior to any of the people who had stepped onto Shadowed Scar. They were as fast and fierce as a pack of wolves, and they had the ability to surround and hunt. Most importantly, they were unstoppable and fearless!
The overall strength of these gods was naturally superior to most of the races on Shadowed Scar, but the number of races on Shadowed Scar was unimaginable. They grew without any restrictions, and coupled with the cruel and dangerous environment, each of them was extremely good at killing. This kind of ruthlessness and savagery was rarely seen in the wilderness of Shenjiang. It was usually only seen in human forbidden zones like White Marsh. Every inch of land on Shadowed Scar was no less dangerous than the forbidden zones of Shenjiang. The species here were even more ancient and powerful, and could not be understood with common sense!
"They aren't fast, but why do my swords always miss?" Lou Qian said with some annoyance.
Zhu Minglang looked at her and found that Lou Qian was dealing with a pair of dark Ancient Dragon brothers. These two Ancient Dragons looked exactly the same, and sometimes their movements were even perfectly coordinated. There were even a few moments when they looked like they were one person.
Just as Lou Qian said, the dark Ancient Dragons were not fast enough to dazzle the eyes, but they were always able to avoid the Sword Qi of the Holy Maidens.
Every heavenly maiden was controlling over a hundred flying swords, and each flying sword was accompanied by powerful sword qi. Some of these sword qi were like wings, some were like crescent moons sweeping across, and some were like dragons circling around. The dazzling sword qi was so dense that it flew in this area from different directions and angles, but the dark ancient dragons were able to dodge most of them!
They shuttled, leapt, flashed, and retreated. The blades, Sword Qi, and Sword Qi flew past them. Ordinary creatures would have been cut into countless pieces by now, but the dark Ancient Dragons were always able to find an opportunity to attack. Again and again, they closed in on the Swordsman women, causing them to panic and be at a loss as to what to do.
"Is this attack foresight? Do these Ancient Dragons have attack foresight?" Zhu Minglang himself felt a little incredulous.
Attack foresight was a rare ability, so if the Ancient Dragons of Shadowed Scar Star had such a racial talent, wouldn't they be the most terrifying Dragon Race in the world?
Zhu Minglang was not in a hurry to defeat these Ancient Dragons. His years of survival experience in the wild had taught him that every species had their own powerful mysteries. It was impossible to simply rely on cultivation to crush them. Some species had special abilities that allowed them to prey on creatures with higher cultivation than them!
From the multicolored fish in Li Chuan Academy's lake that used the tentacles of their companions to sense the location of their enemies, to the Black Dragons that killed without leaving a trace, to the Red Tattooed Death Dragons that knew how to cooperate with other species to create strange offerings … This had nothing to do with their strength or weakness. This was the law of their species. If one wanted to deal with them, one had to find their patterns and unearth the mysteries of their predation and survival!
