17: Three Holy Dragons
"Don't let them get away!"
Seeing Fang Changyi about to escape with Li Yao, Scarface, who had already been demonized, roared at his subordinates.
Immediately after, one of them, riding his demonized beast, attacked the Red Shadow Bird's position.
It was a demonized Blue-Eyed Red Eagle!
In terms of sheer size, it was no less than the Red Shadow Bird!
Furthermore, due to its demonization, its strength had already reached the General-level.
"Hold on tight."
Fang Changyi gripped Li Yao with one hand and casually told his Red Shadow Bird, "Red Shadow Bird, shake off these guys."
Seeing this, Li Yao hurriedly recalled his Golden Armor Fire Ape.
After all, the Golden Armor Fire Ape was quite large, and if it also came up, their speed would be significantly slower.
The Red Shadow Bird spread its wings and began to fly quickly.
Behind them, the Blue-Eyed Red Eagle was in hot pursuit.
It had no intention of letting Li Yao and the others go.
Clearly, they had been pushed to a dead end; going back meant death, and failing to catch them also meant death.
For their own lives, they were desperate.
"Blue-Eyed Red Eagle! Use Blood Feather Stab!"
A faint red glow began to appear on the demonized Blue-Eyed Red Eagle's body.
The next second, dozens of blood feathers shot from the Blue-Eyed Red Eagle towards the Red Shadow Bird.
The Red Shadow Bird sensed danger from behind, flapped its wings, and sharply ascended to a higher position.
The blood feathers passed directly beneath the Red Shadow Bird.
"These guys are really annoying, Garrison Commander, should we deal with them?"
"After all, this guy is a bit isolated now."
Because of the flight, the few people behind had fallen far behind.
It would take a few more minutes for them to catch up.
In these few minutes, something could be done.
Fang Changyi listened and felt that Li Yao's words were not without reason.
After all, these guys were so arrogant, and as a Garrison Commander, he felt quite frustrated.
His strength clearly surpassed theirs, yet because he had to bring Li Yao, he was forced to flee from their 'pursuit'.
Now, hearing Li Yao's suggestion, he immediately had the thought of taking action.
"Red Shadow Bird, use Shadow Blade."
Chirp!!!
Hearing his master's command, the Red Shadow Bird immediately became excited.
This guy, whose strength was clearly weaker than its own, had been chasing and attacking it from behind.
Did he really think the Red Shadow Bird had a good temper?
Upon receiving the command to counterattack, it immediately stabilized its body.
Its wings emitted a dark black glow.
Before the Blue-Eyed Red Eagle could react, its wings slashed across the Blue-Eyed Red Eagle's body.
Even the person standing on the Blue-Eyed Red Eagle was cut down along with it.
Blood instantly rained down from the sky.
It had to be said, this Red Shadow Bird was truly decisive and ruthless in its attack.
With just one move, it struck a vital point, killing with a single blow.
The Blue-Eyed Red Eagle's body, split in two, plummeted directly from the sky, falling to the outskirts of Zhaoyao Mountain's territory.
Presumably, it wouldn't be long before it was devoured by the exotic beasts living there.
Li Yao, who witnessed the entire process, felt a slight discomfort in his heart, but he didn't, like in novels, throw up immediately upon seeing someone killed.
Presumably, this was due to his physical constitution.
"Let's go, the rest will be handled by others."
After all, his goal was to safely bring Li Yao out of the Nanshan Secret Realm.
It wasn't to take action and kill these guys.
Besides, Fang Changyi had already contacted the Garrison Guardian stationed in this Secret Realm.
With the Garrison Guardian taking action, it would probably not take long to deal with these guys.
At this moment, Scarface and the others who were in pursuit looked utterly grim.
Because Blackface, who had been sent to chase Li Yao, had been killed!
This meant they couldn't catch up at all!
Not being able to catch up meant they couldn't capture Li Yao, and couldn't complete the mission!
Retreat meant death, and advancing also meant death!
They were facing certain death!
Thinking of this, Scarface's expression hardened, and he directly took out a special communication device.
"Is the mission complete?"
On the other end of the communication device, a devil-like voice was heard.
No!
The other end of the communication device was indeed a Devil.
Moreover, it was one of the Seven Demon Lords, the Devil King of Arrogance.
The demonic potion that could turn people into Devils was also granted by him.
"My Lord, the mission has run into a snag..."
"It seems you few useless pieces of trash couldn't even complete such a simple mission."
"My Lord, I beg you to take action!"
"That human is still in the Secret Realm; if you take action, you will surely succeed!"
After a few seconds of silence from Arrogance's side, a disdainful voice rang out: "Ant-like wretches, unable to complete such a simple mission, yet you dare to ask this King to take action!"
"However, this opportunity must not be missed. At most, it's just a fight with that guy."
As he finished speaking, the entire Secret Realm began to tremble.
The entire sky turned blood-red.
A giant, bloodshot eye appeared in the sky, seemingly searching for something.
Upon discovering Li Yao's figure, the eyeball immediately locked onto Li Yao.
At the same time, the Secret Realm was shaking.
It seemed to be trembling, on the verge of collapse, unable to withstand this terrifying power.
And that large eyeball also seemed to sense the backlash from the Secret Realm's power, not daring to linger.
A bloody giant hand reached down towards Li Yao's location.
Because they were locked on, Li Yao, Fang Changyi, and the Red Shadow Bird were completely unable to move, only able to watch helplessly as the bloody giant hand slowly descended.
Li Yao was also speechless; it was his first time entering a Secret Realm, yet he was targeted by so many people.
And that was not even the worst of it.
Now, such a terrifying guy had appeared to capture him.
Who had he offended!
If he could survive, Li Yao swore he would take revenge for today's humiliation!
"Damn worm! How dare you!"
Just as the bloody giant hand was about to cover Li Yao and the others, an angry roar erupted.
The roar seemed to carry a deterrent force; the bloody giant hand was actually shaken, paused for a few seconds, then continued to move, reaching for Li Yao.
And at this moment, a creature with a body a thousand meters tall, like a mountain, descended from the sky.
It had a head like a Dragon, three heads, golden Dragon scales covering its entire body, and when its four wings spread, they could be described as covering the sky and obscuring the sun.
Seeing this Three-Headed Holy Dragon, Fang Changyi was shocked.
This was the Guardian of the Nation's beast!
It was also his original companion beast, a Mythic-grade beast, the Three-Headed Holy Dragon!
