Chapter 978: Promise Us a Favor
The other Sacred Beast clansmen beneath Dragon City couldn't help but reveal pained expressions. Most of them were already past middle-age.
Although it might be unfair for them, people in their prime, to walk this path, given the circumstances, it was indeed their duty.
For the sake of their clans, they could be fearless.
But Xia Keke was different. She was at the age of a flower. There were too many things she'd yet to experience, too many worlds she'd yet to see.
Tears streamed down Xia Hua's face as he hugged her, but Xia Keke simply smiled calmly.
"Grandpa, don't cry anymore, okay?"
She tried her best to use a reassuring smile to comfort the old man in front of her. Soon after, she struggled free from his embrace, a tranquil smile on her exquisite face.
"We don't have much time. Let's begin."
"Wait, our White Tiger Clan has something to say."
The speaker was a middle-aged man with a white tiger tattoo on his arm. He took a step forward, his gaze fixed on Xia Hua of the Dragon Clan.
"Clan Head Dragon, there's no need to feel apologetic on our behalf. When we decided to become the foundation of the Four Beasts Formation, we were already prepared to die. Now that we're faced with this outcome, we're all calm. "
The other Sacred Beast clansmen nodded. They weren't forced to come here; they'd all come of their own free will.
Before they came, the Sacred Beast Clan Head had already told them the consequences. Since they'd decided to come here even after learning of the consequences, it meant they'd long since made up their minds to sacrifice themselves for their clans.
"But before we set up the formation, we White Tigers, or rather, the entire White Tiger Clan, would like to ask Clan Head Xia to agree to one of our requests."
The White Tiger clansman's face was filled with unswerving determination. Xia Hua nodded.
"Please speak."
"To avenge our clan head."
He didn't grit his teeth or show any signs of hysteria. Instead, he was extremely calm when he said those words. However, his blood-red eyes made everyone present feel the obsession in his heart.
He wasn't the only one. The other White Tigers felt the same way.
When they saw the death of their patriarch, their hearts burned with a monstrous rage.
By coming here, they could already be considered abandoned pawns in defeat. However, they still wanted to burn their own souls to secure a hundred years of peace for the Beast Region.
After a hundred years, he found a glimmer of hope to avenge the Clan Leader and let his soul rest in peace.
"I'll try."
Xia Hua's reply lacked much confidence. After witnessing the all-powerful Black Dragon, he really couldn't muster up the arrogance to look down on the entire world.
"Clan Leader Xia, we would like to receive an affirmative answer. Otherwise, even if we die, we won't be able to rest in peace. "
"Yes, Clan Leader Xia, please give us a definite answer."
"Clan Leader Xia …"
"Clan Leader Xia …"
Almost everyone standing there was calling out to Xia Hua. They could feel the unwillingness in the hearts of their clansmen, as well as their deep obsession …
"Alright. In a hundred years, the Beast Region will definitely trample over the demons and blood races. We'll take back the three ….."
Boom.
At this moment, a loud bang caused everyone to involuntarily raise their heads.
"Even if you're a peak Earth Supreme, you're still just an Earth Supreme. Even if I'm only an early-stage sky supreme, I'm still a sky supreme. How can you possibly bridge the gap between heaven and earth? "
Black Dragon, covered in bony spikes, laughed arrogantly. Everyone watched as Yin Shang, his entire body glowing with light, plummeted to the ground like a comet.
"Cough ….."
He crashed to the ground with a bang.
Yin Shang clutched his chest with his right hand. Wisps of purple smoke slowly rose from his chest, corroding the skin on his chest.
His jaw was tightly clenched, and blood dripped from his mouth.
His eyes were filled with unwillingness as he stared fixedly at Black Dragon above him.
He floated down.
Black Dragon, shrouded in purple mist, looked down at Yin Shang with a ferocious glint in his eyes.
"Not a bad look, but I don't like it."
Thud.
Black Dragon stomped viciously on Yin Shang's chest. Bone spikes sprouted from his ankle, all of them stabbing into Yin Shang's chest.
"Hmph ….."
Yin Shang snorted angrily as Black Dragon stepped on him. His pale face was covered in sweat.
Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, and his temples were completely soaked in sweat.
"You should be a member of the god race, right? Otherwise, there's no way you could have reached the level of a supreme."
Black Dragon looked at Yin Shang questioningly, but all he got in return was a disdainful roll of his eyes.
"Oh?"
Black Dragon twisted his foot on Yin Shang's chest, and the sharp bone spikes instantly sliced through his chest. Blood gushed from the wound. His eyes rolled back into the back of his head, and his body twitched uncontrollably.
"You're the only opponent I'm interested in, but that's all you've got."
Black Dragon retracted the bone spikes from his ankle, then narrowed his eyes at Yin Shang, who was twitching uncontrollably on the ground.
"Seeing as you've given me so much fun, I'll give you a quick death."
A bone spike sprouted from his palm. The sharp bone spikes glinted with a frightening cold light as he stabbed towards Yin Shang's head.
Ding.
Ye Zichen blocked the bone spike with his bloody blade, then braced himself against the ground to protect Yin Shang.
"Ye Zichen."
When he saw who it was, Black Dragon's expression shifted. Ye Zichen should be fighting Gu Li right now. Could it be that he'd finished off Gu Li in such a short time?
However, he quickly stopped thinking about it. Who cared if he'd finished off Gu Li or not? Since he'd dared come here, he'd come to die …..
His expression shifted.
Crack.
In an instant, the bone spike shattered Black Dragon's bloody blade, then pierced right through his chest.
"Ugh."
Yin Shang coughed up blood uncontrollably. Then he saw Ye Zichen turn around with a ferocious expression and grab the bone spike with his right hand.
Bang.
He broke it.
"Clang!"
At the same time, the piercing cry of a vermillion bird filled the air.
Black Dragon noticed a flash of fire from the corner of his left eye and took two steps back. Ye Zichen took advantage of this opportunity to carry Yin Shang a full hundred meters away.
Yin Shang was still twitching uncontrollably in Ye Zichen's arms. Blood gushed from his mouth like it was free, along with a few shattered organs.
"Yin Shang, Yin Shang ….."
Ye Zichen still had the bone spike in his chest, but he made no move to deal with it. Instead, he called out Yin Shang's name over and over again.
"Emperor Ye, take advantage of this and hurry back to Dragon City."
Zhuge Hong, now in her true form, landed in front of Ye Zichen. Her fiery feathers radiated scorching energy.
"Little vermillion bird, how dare you act so fiercely in front of me?"
Black Dragon, covered in bone spikes, laughed disdainfully. However, a second later, he felt a wave of heat wash over him, as if it could burn the heavens and the earth.
The flames surrounding the vermillion bird's body changed from fiery red to reddish-gold.
