novelThe Most Powerful Dao of Defense
| ← Ch.1172 | Ch.1174 → |
A black-robed man that no one had detected suddenly appeared before everyone.
He spread open his arms as if he really was going to voluntarily experience the Ancient Dragon Empress' power!
That was what he was saying, but he still materialized a semi-transparent black crystal barrier that encapsulated himself as well as An Lin and the others.
However, this barrier was unable to keep the Ancient Dragon Empress' power of the divine dao at bay.
The red power of the divine dao swept toward the semi-transparent crystalline barrier and somehow managed to penetrate through as if there were nothing there.
A hint of arrogance appeared in the Ancient Dragon Empress' grief-stricken eyes upon seeing this.
There was no one here who could keep her power at bay.
Her peculiar power flowed into the man's body, and his blood began to churn.
Xu Xiaolan's expression shifted drastically, and she was just about to activate her Heavenly Star Dark Shell for the final time, but An Lin's hand appeared on her arm to prevent her from doing so.
"So, this is it. I can feel your grief and see the hardships you've experienced as well as your pain and struggles... This power is very unique. It is a manifestation of your power, experience, and soul... even your hatred toward this cursed world and your determination to break free from it. You are a good leader."
The man focused his gaze. A divine dao light erupted from his black crystalline barrier as a structural change began to take place!
Then, right before everyone's astonished eyes, the Ancient Dragon Empress' red power of the divine dao was completely shut out, as if it had crashed into an impregnable fortress!
"He did it!" Xu Xiaolan was a little incredulous.
"That's bad*ss, Little Xiao!" An Lin exclaimed with elation.
A faint smile appeared on the man's face."How could I let someone hurt my master right under my nose?"
That's right, the man who had suddenly arrived was none other than An Lin's disciple Xiao Ze!
An Lin made his way toward Xiao Ze with a pained expression before wiping the blood from Xiao Ze's face with his sleeve."Wipe the blood off your face before you say that."
Xiao Ze: "..."
I finally managed to break through to the Return to Void Final Stage, can't you just let me flex?
"Congratulations on attaining the power of the divine dao, Xiao Ze, you're so awesome!" Xu Xiaolan exclaimed in amazement, and she almost involuntarily caressed Xiao Ze's head.
A shy smile appeared on Xiao Ze's face from her glowing compliment.
"You must be Xiao Ze from the Four Nine Immortal Sect. I've heard about you for a long time. You really are a young hero!" Long Aotian also chimed in with some praise of his own.
"I'm a Primordial Dragon Tribe cultivator who is old enough to be your ancestor. I'm not some young boy to you, " Xiao Ze retorted with a smile.
Long Aotian: "..."
Why was he acting like a shy youth when speaking to An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, but now, he was acting like a cocky ancestor to him?
Long Aotian was quite depressed.
"To think that there is a Return to Void Stage mighty figure that can defend against my power..." The Ancient Dragon Empress was still shedding bloody tears, but a complex expression had appeared on her face."Who would have thought that the person who understood my power the most would be my enemy."
Xiao Ze looked up at the rain of blood falling from the sky."My divine dao pursues the path of the most powerful defense. It should be a flexible defense that can change itself according to the enemy's attacks... Even if the power of time is trying to take something away from me, I'll create a shield that stands for eternity in order to protect everything I care for!"
"Your divine dao... is very impressive." The Ancient Dragon Empress sighed before wiping the bloody tears from her face with a colorful sleeve.
The arrogant empress' eyes were a little bit downcast as a rare expression of vulnerability appeared on her face.
Perhaps she was too tired, or perhaps it was because of all these unexpected twists and turns in the tale.
In any case, she was struck by a sense of helplessness.
"Why are you... all so hard to crack?!"
The Ancient Dragon Empress finally expressed her feelings in words.
The rain of blood stopped.
She withdrew her Pain of Slaughter spell technique.
To those who didn't understand, this spell technique was lethal.
However, it had been analyzed by Xiao Ze, and he had found a way to counteract it. In that case, it could no longer pose a threat to her enemies...
"I still have a question. How did you manage to approach us without anyone noticing?" The Ancient Dragon Empress was perplexed.
Xiao Ze was quite happy to answer her questions. After all, flexing was an extremely satisfying feeling.
"My dao of defense is nowhere near as simple as you think. After all, isn't it a type of defense to not be noticed by your enemies?" Xiao Ze smiled.
That's right, his power of the divine dao had a concealment property as well.
Furthermore, he could manipulate the nature of his power of the divine dao in order to moderate his defense against different attacks from different enemies. In essence, his power of the divine dao was extremely flexible and could be molded to fit a vast array of different scenarios.
These three evil dragons and the Ancient Dragon Empress all had their attention focused on An Lin and the others, so how were they supposed to have detected a living being approaching them under the concealment of the power of the divine dao?
Thus, in that dire situation, Xiao Ze attained his divine dao and made a grand entrance to save the day!
"Little Xiao, what do we do now? Do we fight, or do we run?" An Lin felt like he should consult his disciple's opinion.
"We won't be able to win in a fight. Each and every one of them is a veteran Return to Void Final Stage mighty figure, so just being able to block all of their attacks is already quite a feat..." Xiao Ze's defensive prowess was top-tier, but he wasn't going to contribute a whole lot when it came to offensive output.
"Then let's get out of here. As long as we can get far enough, they won't continue to pursue us, " An Lin said with a calm expression.
He was struck by a strong sense of security now that his disciple was here, so there were more confidence and conviction behind his words.
Xiao Ze nodded with a smile."Master, my black crystal defense is not rooted to the spot. We can run away and still have it activated so that they won't be able to hurt us."
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were ecstatic upon hearing this!
They could get away with no problems then!
Thus, Xiao Ze stood at the forefront of the group, and they flew into the air to flee atop the black brick with the black crystal barrier around them the entire time.
"Holy f*ck, did we just get ignored?" Lun Yu Evil Dragon was astonished.
"How dare they looked down on us?" Mei Gui Evil Dragon's expression darkened.
"I'll show them a true nightmare, " Huan Meng Evil Dragon said in a cold voice.
The three powerful evil dragons began to unleash spell techniques toward Xiao Ze.
Their waves of spell technique bombardment were then kept at bay by Xiao Ze's divine dao barrier, leaving the three evil dragons completely stunned!
"How could it be so hard?!" Lun Yu Evil Dragon was astonished.
"If we can't break the defense, then we'll just have to trap them instead!" Huan Meng Evil Dragon gritted its teeth."It must be tiring to unleash such a powerful defensive spell technique. We'll trap them before unleashing relentless attacks upon them, and we'll break them down eventually!"
Thus, all types of earth-shattering binding and restrictive spell techniques began to appear.
This was quite an effective tactic. No matter how bad*ss Xiao Ze was in the dao of defense, he still couldn't completely evade the restrictive and binding spell techniques unleashed by three Return to Void Final Stage mighty figures at once.
He ran for over two hundred and fifty kilometers before finally being caught by the three evil dragons.
Inky-black chains bound tightly to the black crystalline barrier as divine symbols appeared on the barrier.
Crimson rose petals fell from the sky, unleashing powerful restrictive force.
Huan Meng Evil Dragon manifested over a hundred feelers to press firmly down upon the black crystalline barrier.
"Crap, we've been trapped..." Xiao Ze was very tense, and cold sweat was beginning to appear on his forehead.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan didn't feel a single thing. They were even struck by the urge to take some pills.
They had simply experienced similar scenarios too many times in a short span of time.
As a result, they had been completely desensitized and were calm to the point of being emotionless.
