Chapter 462: Chapter 461: I’m Downstairs

Boom!

On the cement street, a fireball exploded, and the ground cracked and collapsed amidst the trembling.

From every crack, fierce flames burst forth, while parked cars danced up and down in the tremors, emitting ear-piercing alarm sounds.

The traffic lights at the intersection persisted for a while before falling heavily to the ground, sparks continuously shooting out amidst the rising dust.

Onlookers at a distance gazed at the deep pit ablaze with flames, their faces etched with terror, yet they dared not make a sound.

They had no idea about the identities of the two dragons fighting, nor the reason for their battle.

But in such a situation, staying further away was definitely the right choice.

Snap!

Out of the flames, a rugged Dragon Claw emerged, gripping the edge of the deep pit.

The civilians’ hearts tightened once more, and they retreated a few more steps.

Within the pit, flames churned wildly as a pair of molten lava skeletal wings unfurled, followed by golden-red eyes flickering with fire.

Shao Zifeng hung behind Qiuqiu, his head throbbing, when a surge of anger jolted him awake.

This stifling fight had ignited a fire in Qiuqiu’s heart that could no longer be suppressed.

Whoosh!

The wild turbulence stirred the flames on the ground.

The Poison Fire Flying Dragon flapped its wings overhead, the dark red glow of flames reflecting on its body.

Qiuqiu gazed at the Poison Fire Flying Dragon, its claws gripping the ground tightening, breathing growing heavier.

The lady looked down at Shao Zifeng from above, her full lips curling up, “I’ll give you one more chance, come with me.”

“Roar!”

Concrete in its claws crumbled to dust as Qiuqiu’s head, adorned with dozens of sharp scale-bones, flared open, unleashing a roar of Dragon Might and anger.

The Poison Fire Flying Dragon’s pupils contracted, its wingbeats momentarily faltering under the Dragon’s might.

From within the pit, the flames bursting from the cracked ground wildly converged upon Qiuqiu’s claws.

Boom!

The violent turbulence raged as Qiuqiu’s crossed claws charged towards the Poison Fire Flying Dragon.

After all, the Poison Fire Flying Dragon was a seventh-tier dragon, and the Dragon’s might had only affected it for a moment.

Seeing Qiuqiu’s ferocious approach, it hastily raised its claws to defend.

A ghostly green energy Entangled its sharp claws.

Poisonous Claw!

Boom!

The two distinct Dragon Claws collided, the twisted Elemental Energy mutually neutralizing and Devouring, finally exploding in a massive burst.

The blast wave from the explosion swept across everything.

Cars on the street flipped, and the shop windows nearby shattered one after another.

Propelled by the force of the explosion, the Poison Fire Flying Dragon was sent flying back, its eyes filled with shock and doubt as it looked at the Corrosion marks on its claws.

Swish!

Before it could react, two twisted flames in the shape of Dragon Claws tore through the smoke, followed by golden-red eyes burning with rage.

“Whimper–!!”

This time, the Dragon Claws struck true, and the fire element contained within them detonated in a series of explosions, making the Poison Fire Flying Dragon let out a pained cry.

The multiple close-range explosions were more than the lady could withstand. She lifted her head groggily, and crimson blood trickled from her nostrils.

At that moment, the lady’s pupils shrank, “How is this possible!”

In her line of sight, the fire Dragon Claws again tore through the explosion’s smoke, the golden-red eyes behind them coldly fixed on her.

The lady felt a chill run through her body, knowing the battle couldn’t go on like this.

“Little Poison, create some distance!”

“Roar!”

The Poison Fire Flying Dragon beat its wings in an awkward retreat towards the commercial trade building.

Seeing this, Qiuqiu flapped its wings and quickly gave chase.

The young lady’s nosebleed reached her lips, which she scraped off with her slender fingers.

Looking at the bright red blood on her fair fingers, her expression became somewhat bizarre, her gaze turning fervent.

Turning her head to look at Qiuqiu who was relentlessly pursuing, she shouted something to the Poison Fire Flying Dragon.

“Roar!”

The Poison Fire Flying Dragon suddenly drew close to a nearby building, and just before smashing into it, it sharply banked to the side, its dragon wings slashing through the glass wall like blades, cutting a long crack. The shattered glass mingled with sparks flickered, and the entire glittering building went dark in an instant.

Crash!

A massive billboard, ten meters tall, lost its last support from the dragon’s flaying wings and slapped down towards Qiuqiu behind it.

Qiuqiu narrowly evaded the billboard by veering to the side and once again chased after the Poison Fire Flying Dragon ahead.

Before Shao Zifeng could breathe a sigh of relief, the woman turned her head and gave him a meaningful smile. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head.

The billboard plummeted at a blistering pace while the crowd below scattered in all directions. However, a girl seemed to be frozen in shock, standing still as the billboard fell towards her!

Despicable!

Shao Zifeng cursed inwardly.

“Qiuqiu!”

“Roar!”

Glaring at the Poison Fire Flying Dragon, Qiuqiu tucked in its wings and dove headfirst toward the falling billboard.

One hundred meters.

Fifty meters.

Twenty meters.

The billboard’s shadow completely enveloped the girl; a middle-aged woman cried out in the distance, held tightly in a man’s embrace.

Just as the billboard was about to crush the girl, Qiuqiu, ablaze with flames, finally arrived, spreading its wings above the girl to shield her.

Boom!

The enormous impact caused chunks of the lava wings to shatter, and Qiuqiu’s body shook under the pressure.

Shao Zifeng looked up at the billboard above his head, his pupils turning amber, and grey-white Elemental Energy spread across his right arm.

Bang!

The stone that encased his arm shattered on contact with the billboard, along with the sleeve of his robe.

Shao Zifeng’s muscular arm bulged with veins, and capillaries burst under his skin.

Fortunately, Qiuqiu’s molten dragon wings had buffered the fall, and Shao Zifeng, strengthened by multiple Bonding Reactions, barely held up against the billboard.

Yet the sheer weight bent Shao Zifeng’s neck sideways, his face pressed against the metal billboard, his neck seeming to thicken.

“Lingling!”

A faint Space Rift slowly opened above the billboard, emitting countless specks of starlight.

Onlookers in the distance, captivated by this splendid scene, stared blankly at the figure that emerged within the starlight.

Perhaps aware of the large audience today, Lingling made a more magnificent entrance; a myriad of starlight converged into a crystal crown, with the lower half of her long hair fading like a galaxy, floating in the night sky.

The elaborate gown she wore was adorned with complex patterns, with a starburst at the very center.

The Starlight Scepter floated in front of Lingling’s chest, countless imaginary vines spread all over the street buildings, blooming with illusory flowers. The petals, suspended in mid-air, flowed towards Lingling.

At last, they coalesced into an elegant throne that landed heavily on the billboard.

Someone grunted.

Taking the scepter in her right hand, Lingling settled back onto the throne and opened her eyes that seemed to contain the cosmos.

Her gaze swept over the crowd watching from afar, as if inspecting her subjects.

“Duke, I shall for you…”

Lingling stopped in the midst of her speech, blinked her big eyes, and looked around in search.

“Duke, where are you… don’t scare Lingling, quack~”

Shao Zifeng struggled under the weight of the billboard, his eyes bloodshot, squeezing words through gritted teeth.

“I’m, right, below!”
