20: Chapter 20 Siege

The colossal creature leading the monsters in the void distinctly had the silhouette of a Western dragon.

Although it was not an Eastern divine dragon, the dragon race was, after all, a top-tier race, and by no means something newly ascended deities like Su Ming could easily contend with.

Fortunately, upon closer observation, Su Ming discovered that the creature in the void was not actually a dragon, but merely looked like one.

"It should just be a mixed-blood dragon species," he breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. "If it were a pure-blooded dragon, it would start at S-rank at the very least, and it is definitely not something my current self could contend with."

Just as Su Ming was pondering, the deep and icy dragon pupils of the magic dragon in the void had already locked onto him.

A low and arrogant dragon roar shook the Divine Domain, its tone filled with utter contempt: "Ants!"

The humiliation of mere two words instantly enraged the entire field.

Adai's nether fiendish qi suddenly surged around his body, and the charming allure in Wawan's eyes completely receded, leaving only bone-chilling coldness.

Blaspheming the Divine Lord deserves death a thousand times over!

The next second, Adai raised the unregretful saber high. The nether ghostly qi and fiendish qi of the entire army of nether soldiers converged onto the blade, causing the pitch-black blade radiance to soar steadily, while a terrifying aura of death swept across all directions.

"Nether Prison Suppression!"

The furious roar echoed through heaven and earth as a forty-meter-long pitch-black blade radiance tore through the void, carrying the terrifying momentum of suppressing all things as it slashed straight toward the Dark Scale Magic Dragon!

The Dark Scale Magic Dragon's pupils constricted sharply, and a fatal sense of crisis suddenly welled up in its heart.

In the hands of this seemingly minuscule fellow, there was actually hidden a lethal power capable of threatening its life!

Daring not to take it head-on, it violently beat its wings, its massive body suddenly swerving sideways to narrowly dodge this fatal slash.

But while it could evade calmly, that group of monsters below possessed no such speed and reaction time.

The heaven-covering blade radiance crashed down!

Boom—!

Hundreds of monsters were instantly annihilated by the blade radiance, leaving not even the slightest scrap of flesh or bone behind.

The remaining monsters were scared out of their wits, their originally ferocious assaults instantly collapsing as they frantically flapped their wings, attempting to flee the battlefield in all directions.

"Do not run! Tear this group of humble ants to pieces!"

The magic dragon in the void was burning with shame and anger, losing all its majesty.

It had always regarded itself as part of the dragon race, yet now it had almost been slain by an undead; this was an unprecedented humiliation engraved deep into the proud bones of the dragon race!

With a ferocious roar, its massive body dove through the void straight toward Adai. Its crimson dragon pupils were filled with tyrannical killing intent, vowing to tear this ant that dared to offend it to pieces on the spot!

Adai's expression was grave, his whole body tense.

He knew very well that the gap between him and the Transcendence Tier 9 magic dragon was still quite significant, and fighting it head-on would offer zero chance of winning.

Just as the magic dragon's sharp dragon claws were about to grab Adai's body, several crimson silk ribbons suddenly burst out from the void, wrapping around one of the magic dragon's wings like chains and binding it tightly!

The heavy binding force violently jerked the magic dragon's form sideways, causing its massive body to instantly lose balance and plummet uncontrollably toward the ground.

"Roar!!!"

The magic dragon roared furiously, opening its mouth to spew a ball of pitch-black abyssal dragon breath. The scorching and highly corrosive dragon flames swept over, forcefully melting through the red silk ribbons binding its wing.

Wawan flicked her wrist, recalling the damaged red silk ribbons. The resentment lingering around her fingertips dimmed slightly.

Although this strike did not cause substantial damage to the magic dragon, it made it crash into the dust in public, suffering successive humiliations that completely ignited its berserk killing intent.

The moment it landed, the magic dragon completely lost control, charging wildly and crushing everything in its path.

The Undead Retainers and monsters blocking its path were all violently sent flying by it; those who failed to dodge in time were directly crushed into a bloody pulp by its heavy dragon body.

Ordinary retainers simply could not stop the enraged magic dragon; across the entire field, only Adai and Wawan could maneuver against it.

He made a prompt decision, quickly issuing an order: all retainers were to completely withdraw from the magic dragon's path, abandon the suppression, and go all out to encircle and annihilate the other monsters!

At the command, the battlefield was instantly and clearly divided into two sectors.

One sector was where Adai and Wawan joined forces to drag down the enraged magic dragon desperately;

The other sector was where the massive Undead Army, Purple Zombies, nether soldiers, and vengeful women surrounded and cleared the field, slaughtering the surrounding monsters.

Adai excelled in both offense and defense, his saber momentum steady and domineering; Wawan's movement arts were eerie and her restraint and traction were insolvable. With their tacit cooperation and complementary offense and defense, they actually managed to entangle the enraged magic dragon tightly for a time, leaving it with brute strength but nowhere to unleash it.

Seeing the two steadily holding back the magic dragon, Su Ming felt greatly reassured and focused entirely on coordinating the other side of the battlefield.

The individual combat power of the monsters far exceeded ordinary Undead Retainers, but their intelligence was low, they did not understand cooperation, and they only knew how to attack wildly and brashly.

Moreover, as long as a monster died, it would be converted into the undead by Su Ming. As Su Ming's divine power continuously permeated, the surroundings began to be filled with nether aura.

With the appearance of the nether aura, the retainers grew stronger while the monsters grew weaker, and soon they retreated step by step, completely falling into a disadvantage.

After a protracted battle, the last monster collapsed to the ground with a loud crash.

However, in this battle, the losses of Su Ming's retainers were likewise disastrous.

The undead he had previously converted were nearly wiped out entirely, and even the retainers suffered heavy losses; corpses littered the field, and the battlefield was scarred and desolate.

These Undead Retainers would require quite a bit of time to revive.

Just at the moment when the monsters were completely wiped out, an arrogant and tyrannical dragon roar suddenly came from the other side of the battlefield.

Su Ming looked toward the source of the sound, only to see that the magic dragon had somehow broken free from Wawan and Adai's entanglement and was flying toward Su Ming's side. Its massive claws tightly gripped the body of a giant bear Undead Retainer, and accompanied by a harsh tearing sound, the giant bear's body was forcefully torn in half!

Immediately following that, a mouthful of pitch-black dragon breath accurately spewed downward, completely engulfing the giant bear's broken body.

The corner of Su Ming's eye twitched slightly: "Good grief, it didn't even leave me the ashes."

The abyssal dragon breath was extremely domineering, burning away all traces of the giant bear's existence.

This also meant that this giant bear could never revive and be reborn.

"What a pity; it was actually a useful shield tank," Su Ming shook his head slightly, feeling a sense of regret in his heart.

This giant bear was a monster Su Ming had hunted down not long ago, and it possessed Transcendence Tier 6 strength.

Seeing that its strength was decent, Su Ming had sent it over to help Adai and Wawan, not expecting it to end up in such a state in the end.

After dealing with the giant bear, the magic dragon looked down from above, casting a disdainful gaze at Adai and Wawan before it, its dragon pupils filled with arrogance and mockery: "This piece of trash is your end."

Adai and Wawan's expressions grew even more solemn, their battle intent tense to the limit. Just as they were about to join forces again for a fierce attack, they simultaneously withdrew their figures, actively pulling back the distance.

"Want to run now? Too late!" Thinking that the two were cowardly retreating, the magic dragon let out a frantic mockery, flapping its wings to pursue and annihilate them thoroughly.

But the next second, its pupils constricted sharply, and its full arrogance instantly froze.

Countless surviving Undead Retainers had quietly closed in and surrounded it tightly. What enraged it even more was that its own kin had also been infected by the nether ghostly qi and converted into new Undead Retainers, coldly staring at it, their former clan leader.

"Vile undead, how dare you desecrate the dragon race's bloodline!"

Feeling unprecedented humiliation, the magic dragon completely burst forth with its dragon might as boundless abyssal dragon breath swept across all directions.

Wherever the scorching pitch-black dragon flames passed, the undead instantly turned to flying ash, perishing entirely.

Su Ming naturally would not let the magic dragon run amok.

"Do it!"

At the command, sheets of crimson silk ribbons intertwined across the void, and countless nether spears carrying dead silence and fiendish qi slammed frantically into the magic dragon's body like rain!

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

Dense sounds of piercing and cutting rang out one after another. The Dark Scale Magic Dragon roared in pain, its massive body trembling violently: "Damned ants, how dare you offend me!"

Enduring its injuries, it flapped its wings, attempting to fly up and break out of the encirclement to regain the battlefield initiative.

But just as its wings spread open, countless red silk ribbons suddenly coiled and twisted upward, layer upon layer, binding it tightly and locking its wings firmly in place so that they could not stretch out at all.

"Crimson Bridal Binding!"

Wawan let out a soft cry as a blood-colored domain condensed from resentment instantly spread out, enveloping the entire battlefield. The moment the domain touched the magic dragon's body, its fierce and tyrannical movements suddenly stagnated, a trace of momentary confusion surfaced within its deep dragon pupils, and it instantly fell into the shackles of an illusion.

Taking advantage of the fleeting moment when the magic dragon lost its focus, all the retainers went all out with their output, pouring countless assaults frantically onto its body.

The Purple Zombie leaped forward, its hard fingertips carrying a thick corpse poison as it fiercely scratched into the gaps of the magic dragon's scales.

The chilling corpse poison was extremely corrosive and perfectly countered the dragon race's self-healing ability. It continuously eroded the magic dragon's flesh along the wounds, dissolving the origin of its physique.

The bone-piercing pain instantly tore the illusion apart. The Dark Scale Magic Dragon snapped awake, and perceiving the ferocious wounds covering its body and the continuously declining aura of its flesh, genuine fear surfaced for the first time in its arrogant dragon pupils.

It finally recognized reality.

These seemingly humble ants before it were numerous in number, coordinated with Su Ming's command, and possessed corpse poison to counter self-healing and illusions to restrain its form. Having entangled it until now, it was already battered and scarred, with its battle power greatly impaired.

Ants can bite an elephant to death.

But the ultimate pride engraved deep into its bones absolutely refused to allow it to flee in defeat and surrender.

Furthermore, it had already sensed that the surroundings had somehow been surrounded by nether aura; it had simply no way out.

In the blink of an eye, fear was completely replaced by monstrous ferocity.

The magic dragon's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and it went completely mad!

Disregarding its injuries, it wantonly bit and charged into the surrounding retainers; its deathbed counterattack was extremely tyrannical.

Yet Su Ming's retainers came in an endless stream, falling forward as others rushed up, knowing no fear and never retreating.

The struggle of a cornered beast would eventually come to an end.

The magic dragon's struggle grew weaker and weaker, its dragon breath grew increasingly dim, its entire body of scales shattered and peeled off, and its massive physique was tottering on the verge of collapse.
