X-Dragon Era

"Hoooo..." A gray wind, skimming the back corner of a building, whistled by, and after making a turn near the corner of the city, it flowed quietly towards the city gate, sticking close to the angle between the ground and the city wall.

At the same time, inside an abandoned warehouse, Yi Luo Xiang stood proudly atop the Shimmering Butterfly, and calmly said, "Now you go to the alley entrance and make preparations. Once the sandstorm starts, rush out immediately. Don't worry about being hurt by the sandstorm, I'll have it under control."

Upon hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun nodded with a smile, and then the group moved to the alley entrance, silently waiting for Yi Luo Xiang's command.

"Action!" After a brief silence, finally... accompanied by Yi Luo Xiang's sharp command, Xin Yun waved his hand vigorously, and in an instant... Ming Xuan and Yan Qingying, each supporting Ming Xuan's mother, quickly dashed out of the alley, with Xin Yun closely following behind them, heading straight for the city gate about a hundred and fifty meters away.

At that moment... the city gate area was silent, with hundreds of men dressed in the attire of the Fierce Dragon Gang gathered there, yet not many were talking. In their view, since they were already guarding the spot, those kids wouldn't dare to show up, so they didn't pay much attention...

As midnight approached, the gray sand shaped by the Sand Dragon quietly swirled around the city gate, under the cover of night, with only the sound of a light breeze, waiting for the moment the battle would begin.

Finally... a series of crisp footsteps alerted all the men at the city gate. They stood up vigilantly and roared toward the direction inside the city, "The Fierce Dragon Gang is handling matters here, please identify yourself!"

Upon hearing this voice, Xin Yun's heart stirred, and he cleared his throat, roughly saying, "The Fierce Dragon Gang? What are you doing here so late at night!"

Faced with Xin Yun's inquiry, the man had to respond, after all... although the Fierce Dragon Gang was powerful, they couldn't cover the sky with one hand. Many were beyond their ability to provoke. Although he couldn't see the other party's faces or know their identity, the mere mention of the Fierce Dragon Gang usually sent most people scurrying away.

Nobody would be so brazen unless they had significant backing and were not to be offended lightly.

During his reflections, the man replied respectfully, "Tonight, a few blind fools killed several of our Fierce Dragon Gang brothers, so we're here to intercept them. Since you have matters to attend to, please feel free to..."

Before the man could finish his sentence, the light at the city gate already illuminated the figures of the other party. Looking over, he saw three kids, one young woman... weren't these precisely the people they were waiting for?

Pulling out their weapons at once, the man shouted, "Brothers, our targets have arrived, grab your arms!"

Hearing the man's shout, the surrounding hundred or so men all grabbed their weapons, especially the more than fifty among them who drew their bows, ready to shoot Xin Yun and his party dead in front of the city gate.

Seeing this, Yan Qingying and Ming Xuan both stopped in their tracks, a look of panic showing in their eyes. Right now... they were in the middle of the street, with no cover at all, facing more than fifty strong bows, leaving no chance for luck.

Looking at the two's wary faces, Xin Yun yelled, "Don't worry, they won't get the chance to shoot their arrows. Rush with me, we can't delay, or something might change!"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, although Yan Qingying and Ming Xuan didn't know what Xin Yun was counting on, at this point, it was do or die. Since that was the case, it was better to trust Xin Yun.

Watching the four people desperately rushing towards the city gate, the man at the gate raised his right hand. After a grim smile, he decisively said... What are you waiting for, shoot them for me! "

"Whoooo..." Along with the man's voice, a mournful wail rose, and under the illumination of the light, a raging whirlwind swept over before the city gate.

Indeed, this was the sandstorm created by the incarnation of the Death Sand Dragon! Even a silver-tier Giant Dragon could be injured in such a powerful sandstorm, let alone these guys who hadn't even summoned their dragons.

Almost at the moment the storm surged, the hundreds of men at the city gate were instantly torn to shreds without any resistance. Not only that, the power of the sandstorm was immense. With the storm sweeping through, the towering city gate was instantly ground into rubble and, as the storm continued to swirl, the area near the gate became a vast empty space.

Watching the sandstorm appear out of nowhere, Xin Yun shouted loudly, "Don't be afraid, just rush through the storm. Trust me... Yi Luo will have it under control, it won't harm anyone."

With Xin Yun's roar, from the direction of the city, countless streaks of light shot up into the sky, and the roars of Giant Dragons were heard one after another. Clearly... after sensing the drastic change at the city gate, the city's guards had realized what was happening and would soon rush over. Time was running out for Xin Yun and the others.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Faced with all this, Xin Yun did not dare to delay. He was the first to rush into the raging sandstorm, and right behind him, Ming Xuan and Yan Qingying also held onto Ming Xuan's mother, rushing in without looking back.

It was quite miraculous. Although the sandstorm was visibly surrounding their bodies, the ferocious storm, which could grind bricks and stones to powder, did not harm them at all. They passed through unscathed and soon left the range of the storm.

Without time to be amazed, as soon as they left the city, Xin Yun swiftly waved his hand, summoning Yinglong. In an instant... countless dreamlike bubbles rose from the ground, gurgling with sound, and the next moment... the Giant Azure Dragon, shining with azure light, appeared beneath Xin Yun's feet…

Seeing this scene, without waiting for Xin Yun's command, Yan Qingying and Ming Xuan each grabbed an arm of Ming Xuan's mother and, with the help of the Dragon's tail, made their way between Yinglong's horns. At the same time, Yinglong's light dimmed, and while skirting the city walls, it headed to the meeting point previously arranged with Yi Luo Xiang. Discover exclusive content at empire

No sooner had they reached the appointed place than a flash of light appeared, and the Glint Butterfly emerged outside the city wall. At the same time, Yi Luo Xiang said anxiously, "Don't stop, ascend immediately. Many people are coming over, and I must control the Death Sand Dragon to intercept them, otherwise, we might not be able to leave!"

Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun did not hesitate for an instant and rode the Azure Dragon skyward. The Dragon's body quivered upright, shooting up into the sky like an arrow, with Yi Luo's Glint Butterfly flickering in and out of sight, keeping close pace.

At this time, on the ground, the front of the South City Gate was already filled with hundreds of experts, the most powerful of whom had even reached the Purple Crystal tier!

Facing the sandstorm still twirling around the city gate, the leader snorted coldly and waved his hand. A stream of multicolored light burst forth from the Dragon beneath him, roaring onto the storm formed by the Death Sand Dragon.

Although the Death Sand Dragon was invulnerable in its sandstorm form, any attack could negate the spinning force of the storm. Once its spin was completely nullified, the sandstorm would cease.

As powerful as it was, the Death Sand Dragon, with its lower tier, was unable to withstand even a single strike, and the sandstorm it created was completely shattered, no longer able to maintain itself.

As the grey sandy whirlwind spun with the wind, granules of sand quickly gathered toward the center, and in the blink of an eye... a sleek, grey-black Death Sand Dragon appeared in everyone's sight.

"What is this thing? A Wild Dragon!" Looking at the creature before them, obviously... none of those present recognized what kind of dragon it was, though its lack of a rider clearly marked it as a Wild Dragon.

Seeing this, the leader let out a small sigh of relief. The next moment, a dazzling light, howling from the mouth of his Dragon, shot out, instantly piercing the body of the Death Sand Dragon!

Where the light passed, the Death Sand Dragon's body jolted violently, then, as if rigged with a bomb, it exploded into a cloud of sand. The strike of a Purple Crystal tier expert was not something ordinary people could imagine, powerful enough to annihilate a Bronze tier Death Sand Dragon on the spot!
