107: Lord of the City of Light, Seghart
Hearing Xiao Hongyuan's scream, the three people who were strangling the ordinary Dragonians quickly turned their heads, only to see Xiao Hongyuan's fallen corpse.
"That green Dragonian is so fierce? Senior Sister was killed just like that?" Jian Wuxie exclaimed.
With a 'rumble', Xiao Hongyuan was resurrected, and the shockwave overturned the green Dragonian.
"Senior Sister! What happened? I'll come help you!" Jian Wuxie finished speaking and was about to leave the battle to support Xiao Hongyuan.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hongyuan shouted, "Don't come over, I just wasn't paying attention for a moment and got controlled by it!"
Seeing that Xiao Hongyuan didn't look like she was just acting tough, Jian Wuxie felt relieved and continued to fight the ordinary Dragonians with A Fei.
Xiao Hongyuan had learned her lesson this time. While leading the green Dragonian in circles, she carefully watched the ceiling.
Sure enough, before long, the Dragonian repeated its old trick. With a wave of its staff, a cage instantly appeared on the ceiling and fell toward the spot in front of Xiao Hongyuan.
Xiao Hongyuan stopped her forward charge instantly and used Backstep, dodging the range of the iron cage.
At the same time, she turned and unleashed a Wave Split Slash, once again interrupting the green Dragonian's attempt to approach.
Soon, the three including Jian Wuxie had killed all the ordinary Dragonians. Freeing themselves up, they surrounded the green Dragonian.
Jian Wuxie was the fastest, smashing a Mountain Collapse Strike onto the green Dragonian's back. Then, with Blood Frenzy activated, he followed up with a Cross Slash against the fallen Dragonian.
The blood-red Sword Qi scraped across the Dragonian on the ground, putting it into a bleeding state.
Quan Wudi also took the opportunity to approach, scratching the Dragonian on the ground several times with his claws, inflicting a poisoned state.
Xiao Hongyuan reacted quickly, immediately turning back with an Uppercut, launching the Dragonian into the air.
At this moment, the Dragonian was both bleeding and poisoned. Faced with the onslaught of the four, it had no power to fight back.
Just as A Fei was prepared to use Spirit Devouring Ghost Slash to finish it off, he was surprised to find that although the Ghost Slash clearly passed through the Dragonian, its body flickered into an ethereal state and it took no damage at all.
That ethereal appearance was just like his own Ghost Shadow Flash, capable of evading all attacks.
After the green Dragonian dodged the strike, it immediately raised the long staff in its hand and began to charge power.
"Watch out, this strike deals high damage, retreat quickly!" Xiao Hongyuan recognized the Dragonian's skill at a glance and quickly gave a warning.
A Fei's Spirit Devouring Ghost Slash had just finished. He quickly used Backstep to cancel the post-skill animation, wanting to escape the Dragonian's attack range.
But even after the Backstep, A Fei was still within the Dragonian's attack range.
Just as he was prepared to take the hit head-on, Quan Wudi suddenly appeared beside the Dragonian.
Quan Wudi cursed loudly and suddenly pulled out a thick brick, slamming it toward the Dragonian's head.
"Stay right there for me!"
With a 'crack', the brick shattered upon contact with the Dragonian's head. The Dragonian groaned, lowered its long staff, and actually began to sway in place.
"Haha, I stunned it!" Quan Wudi laughed, looking at the Dragonian's state.
"Good job!" Jian Wuxie roared, and his Soul Devouring Hand directly gripped the neck of the still-stunned Dragonian.
With a 'bang', blood energy erupted, and the Dragonian turned into white light and disappeared.
Seeing that there were no more monsters in the room, the four let out a breath and took out supplies to recover their status.
"Are we lost? We've cleared so many rooms and still haven't found the Boss Room," Quan Wudi asked while taking a sip of rum.
"It should be nearby. Several rooms just now had no monsters, so they must be places we've already been. I left markers," A Fei replied.
"This palace Dungeon Instance is indeed quite large, but there shouldn't be many rooms left unvisited," Jian Wuxie agreed.
Outside the Secret Realm, the Second Prince, who had just woken up, listened as Elder Shen recounted the two conditions Lin Chuan had mentioned.
He pondered for a while and said, "Elder Shen, I'll still choose the first option. Since no one else can use that Demon Sword now, I'm in no hurry!"
Elder Shen frowned and said, "But waiting until you Cultivate to Nascent Soul Peak... who knows how many years that will take."
"It's fine. When I first arrived, I had only just reached Core Formation. In just a few days, I've already broken through to the Golden Core Realm. As long as I level up more in the Secret Realm, Soul Transformation won't be that far off."
Elder Shen nodded after hearing this. "Indeed, the Spiritual Qi feedback received after leveling up in this Secret Realm is extremely pure. Not just for you, Second Prince, but even for myself, my Realm has improved significantly."
"But speaking of which," the Second Prince suddenly asked seriously, "Elder Shen, did you see who beat me into this state? It's too hateful, even my nose bone is broken. If I get the chance, I'll definitely have Father Emperor get revenge for me!"
Hearing the Second Prince ask this, Elder Shen gave an embarrassed light cough and quickly advised, "Second Prince, you're wrong to think that way. They did it to save you from the Demon Sword's control. If you still want revenge and word gets out, wouldn't people criticize the Imperial Family for being petty?"
Although the Second Prince was unwilling, hearing Elder Shen say this, he could only sigh and say, "Then forget it. I'm indeed not a petty person."
Elder Shen breathed a slight sigh of relief and asked, "Then what do we do now?"
"Do you even need to ask? Let's go, let's go back to the Secret Realm!"
"But, Second Prince, your injuries?" Elder Shen asked hesitantly.
"Oh, it's fine, aren't they mostly better now? Let's hurry to the Secret Realm and see how many Abyss Demon Invitations Captain Yang has collected for me," the Second Prince said, grinning as he climbed out of bed.
Jian Wuxie and the others wandered around the palace a few more times and finally found the Boss Room. Looking at the decorations at the entrance, which were clearly different from other rooms, the four felt speechless.
For no other reason than that if they had just gone straight from the first room they entered, they would have reached the Boss Room directly. To their chagrin, the four had thought they were being clever, assuming it wouldn't be that simple, and only found it after killing every monster in the entire palace.
The four fully restored their status and officially entered the Boss Room.
They saw a tall figure clad in iron armor, with white light flashing through the gaps in the armor, standing in the room. As soon as the four entered, it sensed them and turned around.
"It has been a thousand years since anyone came here. I swear by the name of my master, Bakkar, that your lives will be extinguished here by the light, leaving behind only your pitiful courage," a mechanical voice spoke.
"Heh, just a little toy someone else made, and you've got quite a big mouth, don't you?" Quan Wudi laughed.
Before the three could reply, Segart suddenly raised his arm toward the four. The next moment, a brilliant light flashed.
The four were blinded by the intense light. In the next instant, they felt a surge of pain throughout their bodies and screamed as they were all struck by something and sent flying backward.
The four crashed heavily onto the ground and were horrified to find that their health points had dropped by a third.
