Chapter 99: Chapter 99: That Phantom Between Heaven and Earth! (Request for monthly tickets)

"Chen Yuan! Chen Yuan!"

The roar of the enraged dragon reverberated mightily, startling the sky.

It caused the dome of heaven to thunder loudly, the sound rolling out in all directions.

At the Northern City Gate of White Emperor City, horses were spooked, their frightened whinnies causing chaos.

People and horses from all directions were shouting, their faces shocked as they looked up in surprise.

Then, atop the city walls, a piercing alarm whistle sounded long and continuous.

"Something’s happening!"

"Arm yourselves and man the walls!"

The Pass Military Officer’s face changed instantly, and with a fierce stamp of his foot, he leapt like a tiger, landing on top of the city wall.

His eyes, sharp as a leopard’s, suddenly lit up with an intimidating brilliance, aimed at the distant horizon.

The next second, his pupils constricted to slits, his face turned stern, and he let out a loud shout.

"Enemy attack!"

"Sound the drums!"

The urgent drumbeats echoed swiftly over the city walls, like a stormy onslaught, spreading far and wide.

"Boom boom boom"

They shattered the tranquil night.

And fell heavily onto the hearts of many.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

In an instant, figures soared up, slicing through the air, rushing to high places.

Upon seeing the scene in the distance, their expressions transformed one after another.

They saw a giant token, over thirty to forty zhang high, like an ox-horn smashing into mountains, blasting open the hills along its path.

Behind it, there were rolling thunderclouds and dragon roars, and within them, a colossal creature, with huge, fierce claws, suddenly struck out from the clouds like lightning, aiming at the black token.

On the wilderness below, a horse galloped, using the token to pave the way, splitting mountains and cleaving through the scattered rocks and dust, speeding towards White Emperor City.

And behind it, a large crowd of people and horses were shouting and barking, stirring up a rolling dust storm over the wilderness.

Instantly, exclamations arose from the city walls.

"That’s... the Azure Dragon of the Demon Cult!"

"Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan, with the Azure Dragon so furious, just who is this person?"

"That token... by its looks, could it be the Banshan Tiger Talisman from the Sky Patrol Department?"

"How is this possible, the Banshan Tiger Talisman is held by the Mountain Patrol Military Officer, it clearly has something to do with the Fourth Heavenly Barrier."

"......"

At that moment, within the thunderclouds above the wilderness, the eyes of the Demon Sect Azure Dragon shone with shock and anger at the Banshan Tiger Talisman in front of it.

The familiar aura emanating from it made him grind his teeth in fury.

To think that the Banshan Tiger Talisman of the Mountain Patrol Military Officer would show up here.

Indeed, enemies often cross each other’s paths!

Upon returning to the Main Altar of the Demon Cult, he did not even tend to the wound on his arm and immediately ordered the lockdown of the passages both inside and outside the border, unwilling to easily let go of the grudge for his severed arm.

Then, he heard someone forcefully breaking through their blockade.

The familiar aura instantly alerted the Azure Dragon, and he rushed after it with a howl.

"Thinking of calling for reinforcements? No way!"

He guessed Chen Yuan’s intent, and the Evil Dragon Claw transformed into a hand reaching down from the sky, striking fiercely at the Banshan Tiger Talisman.

"Clang"

The collision sounded like a great bell resonating in the heavens.

He must seize this token, which contained the True Intent of the Tao Seed, and soothe the rage in his heart.

Thinking this, the colossal body of the Demon Sect Azure Dragon, like a small mountain, pummeled and clawed with thunderous speed, while his mouth spat out silvery bolts of Thunder, bombarding the mountainous Banshan Tiger Talisman incessantly...

In a continuous clash, "clang clang clang" sounds reverberated.

The black light on the Banshan Tiger Talisman trembled and wailed, and the creatures represented on it shrank smaller and smaller, their True Intent gradually erased.

Yet, the Banshan Tiger Talisman was filled with fighting spirit, and the mountains, vegetation, and creatures on it seemed to come to life, joining the talisman in battle.

Mountains shook, Rivers surged, tigers roared, insects sang; all of nature moved as one, battling against the Demon Sect Azure Dragon.

Constantly blasted away, he roared and charged up once more.

The Azure Dragon was firmly dragged down.

Below, Military Officer Qin Hu glanced back only briefly, fire in his eyes, then with a loud cry, without ever looking back, he urged his horse into a frenzied gallop towards White Emperor City.

Twenty li.

Fifteen li.

Ten li.

Five li.

...

Finally, White Emperor City could be seen in the distance.

At this moment, the Pass Military Officer on the city wall could finally make out the figure wildly rushing on horseback, shock flashing across his face.

"It’s Military Officer Qin Hu!"

However, immediately after, his expression changed drastically as he saw the billowing dust that followed closely behind, pressing in. He couldn’t help but look up at the sky, to the Banshan Tiger Talisman that was locked in fierce battle with the Azure Dragon, blasting it to the size of several zhang.

He recognized clearly—that was the Tiger Talisman belonging to their own Mountain Patrol Military Officer!

Just at this moment,

Dark light plummeted from the sky, and the ground let out a thunderous roar.

The Banshan Tiger Talisman was hammered down by the Demon Sect’s Azure Dragon, crashing into the wilderness!

On the ground, a big crater was formed, stirring up billowing dust.

"Ha ha"

The Demon Sect’s Azure Dragon let out a thundering laugh.

Then those fierce and huge azure eyes, peering through the thunderclouds, looked down at the wilderness, at Qin Hu who seemed like a tiny ant, still frantically riding his horse. It let out a malicious smirk and, rolling the thunderclouds, prepared to chase after and kill him on the spot.

Seeing this, the Pass Military Officer on the walls paled rapidly and yelled commands.

"Mystic Armor Army, heed my command!"

"Follow me out of the pass to rescue!"

With that said, he was the first to drop down, turning into a projectile, leaping into the air, flying out toward the area beyond the pass.

Following closely, the city gate thundered open with a heavy rumble, and the booming of horse hooves resounded as they sped out of the city, over a hundred black-clad heavy cavalry accompanied by the fierce neighing of horses, roaring out of the pass.

Body after body in black Mystic Armor clashing against each other, producing an exhilarating echo of metal on metal.

Even facing a Demon Sect Venerable, their blades pointed straight ahead!

Upon the city walls, people from various forces, seeing this group daring to charge forward in the face of the Demon Sect’s Azure Dragon, had mixed expressions.

Isn’t this simply courting death?

Suddenly, a wild roar violently shook the sky.

Then, from the recently made crater, a beam of golden light soared to the heavens...

A vague and ethereal golden figure proudly stood between the two forces.

The next second, that golden shadow, facing the oncoming billowing dust and the surging Demon Cult cavalry, flung its hands wildly.

"Rumble rumble"

At once, the earth and sky trembled.

Mountains burst forth from the ground, lying across the path of the pursuing Demon Cult army.

Instantly, the horses and riders screamed, many died upon crashing into the mountains, some directly slain by the manifest True Intent of mountain shapes.

The Azure Dragon, enraged, stopped its advance, summoned a fierce wind, and tried to save its Human Demon subordinates.

And during this brief delay,

Qin Hu had already successfully met up with the incoming Mystic Armor Army to rendezvous and, then, dashing madly, rode back to the city!

Looking back, he saw the golden shadow in the sky and sighed emotionally. What a great, great brother, truly worth a decade of work.

He hadn’t actually expected the Banshan Tiger Talisman given to him by Chen Yuan to possess this level of significance, protecting him.

Without this Talisman, he would probably have been caught in the Demon Cult’s encirclement.

And at this moment, the Demon Sect’s Azure Dragon, seeing that it had ultimately failed to stop them, stared across the mountain at that golden figure. Those large azure eyes nearly exploded with rage.

"Chen Yuan!"

"Ah"

And the golden figure finally dissipated as its energy was exhausted.
