Chapter 389 - 287 Huge Gap in Strength
Sent couldn’t help but sneer at the sight of Long Yi not allowing Isrile to join the fight. Surely this woman who only knew how to eat must be a dead weight, otherwise why wouldn’t Long Yi let her join the battle?
"The ten of us are enough, you should go find other people." Long Yi turned his head and said to Zhu Na.
"Hmph, even if you only had five people, we would give our all, you guys are doomed!" Zhu Na glanced at the five logistics soldiers who were there just to fill the numbers and said.
Meanwhile, seven people walked out from the group of Dragon Knights in the distance, forming a ten-man squad.
Long Yi could see that of the ten, including Zhu Na, five were mages. It seemed that this would be Zhu Na’s own team. Coupled with five others who were responsible for protection, this was a standard battle arrangement.
On the other hand, Long Yi’s side...
No matter how you looked at it, it just seemed like a rabble.
"Brother Long, what’s our plan?" Wesley asked in a low voice.
"The plan?" Long Yi smiled, "Our plan is for us to ascend and enjoy the show. You three will knock their ten soldiers down. If you fail, we will train even harder. Does that sound good?"
"Not good at all, I feel like my legs are giving out." Wesley complained with a gloomy face.
"Alright, then how about this. Once the battle starts, Little Zi will launch a Mental Impact, then I will take on the five Dragon Knights in front, and Ai Lin will deal with the five mages at the back. We’ll aim to finish this in five minutes, and you guys can enjoy the show. How’s that?"
"This plan is just perfect!" Wesley broke into a grin, then suddenly looked puzzled, "Wait, Brother Long, are you serious?"
"Yes, of course I’m serious." Long Yi nodded.
"I... I thought you were joking."
"Of course not!"
"But, why? To you...these seems to be just small fry, aren’t they?"
"Look, I’m a petty person. Someone insulted my Ai Lin twice, if I don’t react, I really wouldn’t be able to face myself." Long Yi said while patting his own face.
"Your face--"
Everyone immediately focused on Long Yi’s face. As usual, it was the face of an honest man, a very deceptive face that had tricked many people.
On the other side, ten people had already taken to the sky.
"Alright, you three can just wait here."
"Bajie! Xiaoyou! Get out of the popcorn tub! Here comes the show!"
Roar!
A massive figure, eighty meters in length, darkened the sky. In this world, where large dragons average only thirty meters long, the immense size Bajie was overwhelmingly terrifying.
At a distance, Sent’s heart lurched as he saw the spread of Bajie’s huge wings. In the Dragon Clan’s world, strength often equaled body size.
Abyssal Dragon.
A Dragon Clan from another world. A small portion of Abyssal Dragons still inhabit Sulfur Island in the Outer Sea. As they do not acknowledge the command of the Dragon God Temple, naturally there would be no Abyssal Dragon eggs in the temple. Some adventurous souls try sneakily entering Sulfur Island to thieve dragon eggs, only to be caught and inhumed on Sulfur Island.
Now, this colossal dragon was slowly rising higher. Simply the visual pressure from seeing this was enough to cause some cowards to breakdown.
By comparison, the large Shadow Dragon did not seem a sight to behold under the comparison to the Abyssal Dragon.
Two dragons ascended, with Long Yi and Ai Lin standing on Bajie’s head.
Xiaoyou soared higher, overlooking the entire battlefield from above.
Sent was anxious. What did this mean? Where had the three people gone? Were they merely spectators? Were only these two challenging the ten people?
Jokes apart!
They’re underestimating us to this extent!
If that’s the case, today I’ll show you, how our disciplined soldiers, toughened by blood and iron, crush you kids who’ve barely left the academy!
"Line up! Charge!"
The five dragons charged simultaneously, brewing deadly dragon breath in their mouths. Behind them, the mage squad also readied a powerful magic spell. They had only one target in mind, Ai Lin!
"Give it everything you’ve got! Bring down the fake Fairy Dragon!"
The two sides rapidly closed in, Bajie hadn’t even moved yet!
Long Yi smiled, and then started counting down.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Little Zi suddenly appeared in mid-air, and just as everyone thought she was about to unleash a Mental Impact, she clapped her hands together, and glistening snowflakes began to flutter in the air!
"Haha! Watch this!"
Boom! Long Yi’s massive figure slammed into the first dragon like a cannonball, instantly knocking the Dragon Rider unconscious. Meanwhile, Ai Lin had already turned into a black shadow in the sky, hurtling towards the rearline Mage Legion.
The previously prepared magic instantly lost its effect, and the mages had to cast faster spells to protect themselves. However, the spells that bombarded Ai Lin didn’t seem to affect her at all!
This was completely one-sided carnage.
Osborne finally understood just how powerful Long Yi and Ai Lin were, and why he was entitled to sit and enjoy the spectacle. Because the power of both sides was not at the same level at all!
Three minutes, a mere three minutes.
Long Yi held Sente’s head in one hand, lifting him up. Sente didn’t dare to struggle, fearing that his neck might be snapped.
"I respect your courage to challenge me and the determination you showed in front of Uncle Osborne. Unfortunately, your strength simply does not match your confidence."
Long Yi let go, landing a punch that sent Sente flying. Sente’s Mount Dragon hurriedly sped away, catching him in midair.
The victory in this battle came with virtually no technicality, unlike the one fought by the chef and his team. Sides in that match had striked and defended each other, showcasing brilliant tactical coordination.
After all, the power gap between these two sides was too vast.
Zhu Na stood in front of Osborne with her head lowered, her eye socket sporting a large bruise. Sente was doubled over, a few of his ribs broken, and although not fatal, the pain was intense. He was no longer in a state to brag after being defeated in such a way. He could not even muster any defense for his thick-skinned ego.
At this moment, Zhu Na finally experienced Ai Lin’s strength firsthand. As a Magic Fighter skilled in assassinating mages, she saw just how much damage Ai Lin could inflict once in close quarters.
It was apparent that when Ai Lin punched her in the eye, she didn’t use magic. Otherwise, Zhu Na’s eye would surely have been ruined.
Zhu Na, though willful and capricious, was not a fool. She understood completely that she had lost. Her proud five-man mage team couldn’t even muster a decent counterattack against Ai Lin before they were defeated in a lightning-fast assault. Zhu Na had pinned her hopes on Sente because he once said that Long Yi was just a vain fool. Long Yi took credit for the achievements of the Legion and pinned it on himself. If Sente could defeat Long Yi, perhaps they stood a chance.
But it now appeared that they were simply not on par with Long Yi and his team.
This time, there was no conspiracy, no tricks, not even any tactics from the opponent - two individuals had cleanly reminded them of their stupidity
In the past, Zhu Na constantly bragged that her team was invincible. When her father pointed out the flaw in her team, she mocked him for being old-fashioned—resenting him as an old tavern. It was only now she realized how weak her team actually was.
"I lost. According to the agreement, you can make me do anything. Even if it’s death, I will not avoid it!" Zhu Na said.
Osborne’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He naturally wanted to say something, but at this moment, he clearly felt he had no opportunity to interject.
"Anything? I assumed you would try to make excuses." Long Yi said with a laugh.
"I’m a Dragon Rider too! I have my own honour! When did I ever make excuses!" Zhu Na responded fiercely. In her own set of moral values, what others saw as excuse-making was simply natural reasoning in her eyes.
"Well, in that case, you should apologize to us." Long Yi said.
Apologise?! For what?! I did nothing wrong!
Zhu Na instinctively wanted to reject his proposition, but the words she wanted to use to argue got stuck in her throat midway and swallowed down.
"Don’t you know where you went wrong?" Long Yi asked.
"I...I did nothing wrong!"
Zhu Na mutters, but doesn’t dare to say it out loud.
"It seems that she has never developed the habit of considering others," Long Yi mused. "She can easily insult others but can’t endure the slightest injury. When she’s upset, she talks about killing others. Even though she owes her life to other people, she doesn’t feel the least bit grateful. Despite being only the daughter of a deputy legion commander, she acts as though she’s the Queen of the World. Haven’t you ever thought about how many times you’d have been beaten to death for your behavior if you weren’t Osborne’s daughter?"
Long Yi shook his head, showing complete disinterest. "Never mind. It’s not my job to educate other people’s daughters. Your life and death have nothing to do with me, anyway."
Zhu Na was standing still, her mind reeling from Long Yi’s words. All the things she had done before appeared before her eyes one by one. For some reason, upon reflection, the words she had said and the deeds she had done seemed so unpleasant!
What...what is happening?
"Brother Long, I have found something interesting!" Little Zi suddenly interjected.
"Something interesting?"
"Yes, this sister with the bad temper has traces of being affected by a mental spell! Although it’s not very obvious, it can’t hide from my eyes! This kind of mental spell shouldn’t have any side effects in itself, but if used at a specific time, it can greatly exaggerate a person’s current state." Little Zi explained.
None of those present were fools, and upon hearing this, it became clear. Zhu Na’s terrible temperament was being influenced by a spell!
"Actually, I didn’t notice it at first, but a fool, thinking himself clever, just used it again just now!" Little Zi laughed, her eyes squinting into laughter lines.
"Are you saying... someone has been controlling me?" Zhu Na quickly turned around to look at Sente.
"Everyone get away from me!" Sente suddenly shouted. A Mental Impact burst out from him and he rushed out. The Fighting Aura he unleashed forced everyone away. His dragon roared and transformed into its adult form, charging forward. At the same time, it turned around and spat out an unusually long tongue to stick Sente and take him into the air!
"Chameleon!"
Wesley shouted.(To be continued. If you like this work, please vote and support us on qidian.com. Your support is our greatest motivation. Mobile users can also read on m.qidian.com)
