Chapter 141: Whoever Gets It Shall Be The Master Of Baiwa City
The giant dragon formed by the red glow in the sky was getting closer and closer to Qingwan.
No one knew what this red dragon was all about or how it had emerged from within Baiwa City.
In the center of the magic array, Qingwan’s feet were tightly bound by red chains, unable to take even a single step.
“What’s going on?” Ming asked Yu Wen Xi and Miao Feng beside him, “Why is she tied up?”
“We… we don’t know either!” Yu Wen Xi looked extremely anxious, muttering to himself, his mind racing nonstop.
This array shouldn’t require any sacrifices!
But judging by the current situation, this array clearly treated Qingwan as a sacrifice.
“Don’t just stand there, get out of here!” Qingwan shouted at Ming.
“You two leave first.” Ming knew he couldn’t blame Yu Wen Xi and Miao Feng.
Looking at their guilty expressions of helplessness, Ming realized that they probably hadn’t anticipated this happening either. He had no reason to blame them.
“Brother Xu, you…”
Before Yu Wen Xi could finish persuading him, Ming had already stepped forward into the magic array.
“Roar!”
At the same time, the giant dragon made of red light lunged toward the array!
Ming assumed a fist stance, with powerful martial artist energy swirling wildly around him. His blood boiled in his veins. Due to using Blood Qi Berserk, the blood qi around Ming had formed a red robe around him.
“Xu Ming! Get out of here! Don’t act recklessly!” Qingwan anxiously shouted.
Although she was glad to see Xu Ming standing in front of her during her most perilous moment,
you’re supposed to be blocking for He Qingqing, not “Qingwan,” right? Is it really after such a short acquaintance that you’d give your life for a woman?!
Also, since Xu Ming didn’t have mind-reading abilities, he was unaware of Qingwan’s thoughts.
Otherwise, at such a critical juncture, if you’re still stuck in “love brain,” Xu Ming would probably spit out a mouthful of old blood.
“Goose!!!”
The Big White Goose flapped its wings and flew toward Xu Ming’s direction.
As a member of the demon race, the goose could feel the danger more acutely.
Its sixth sense told the goose that if Xu Ming faced this red dragon head-on, he would almost certainly face near-certain death.
But the goose felt it couldn’t abandon this big idiot Xu Ming!
As the red dragon drew closer, Yu Wen Xi and Miao Feng hesitated greatly. After exchanging glances, they also flew toward Xu Ming’s side!
Even a drop of water deserves a spring of gratitude.
Not to mention that Xu Ming had previously saved them, which far exceeded just a drop of kindness!
However, when they reached halfway through the air, a sudden burst of red spiritual waves erupted! Throwing both humans and goose crashing to the ground!
The magic array beneath Qingwan’s feet emitted an even brighter light, and the red dragon seemed to gain life, becoming increasingly violent!
“Xu Ming!”
Qingwan tried every possible way to protect Xu Ming’s safety!
But apart from her neck, Qingwan’s entire body was paralyzed, and she couldn’t use the treasures in her storage bag.
Qingwan could only watch helplessly as Xu Ming was about to be swallowed by that red light.
Facing the red dragon made of red light, Xu Ming frowned, realizing he might be in serious trouble.
But Xu Ming didn’t retreat even half a step; instead, he raised his fist stance.
Mountain-Shaking Fist —— Mountain Shaking!
The Mountain-Shaking Fist struck out! Powerful martial artist energy collided with the red-light-turned-dragon!
Xu Ming felt like his body was about to fall apart. Whether it was his physical form or divine soul, both were teetering on the brink of collapse!
“Hooooowwwl!”
At that moment, a flying corpse rushed toward Xu Ming.
When it was about ten paces away from Xu Ming, the flying corpse tore off the necklace around its neck and threw it toward Xu Ming.
That bead broke through the barrier of the magic array and crashed into the red light.
Just as Xu Ming felt he was about to perish completely, something suddenly smashed through!
Instinctively, Xu Ming stretched out his hand to grab it.
But this bead was like a droplet of water, directly merging into Xu Ming’s body.
Inside Toad Temple, human cultivators and outsider demons fought fiercely against the monks of the temple.
Although the monks’ cultivation levels were similar to these outsiders, the combined number of human cultivators and outsider demons far outnumbered the monks of Toad Temple.
What baffled everyone was that whenever someone or a demon died, they would explode like orbs of light, completely disintegrating both physically and spiritually, without leaving even a single drop of blood.
Gradually, under the advantage of numbers, the monks of the temple began to lose.
Half an hour later, as Xia Donghua plunged his sword into the heart of the abbot of Toad Temple, all the monks of Toad Temple perished.
“Amitabha, may all good people take care of yourselves.” The abbot of Toad Temple clasped his hands together and slowly closed his eyes.
The sword was pulled out from his heart, and the abbot fell to the ground, then turned into countless specks of light that dispersed instantly.
“Let’s go!” Xia Donghua called out heavily.
Though many people had died in this attack on Toad Temple, so what? It wasn’t himself who had died.
Xia Donghua worried that after losing much combat strength, it would be quite difficult for their group to kill that toad.
Xia Donghua and Prince She Yu of the White Snake Kingdom each led the humans and demons into the hall.
Inside the hall, numerous candles burned, flickering firelight illuminating the golden statue of the toad in the hall.
Clearly, this toad imitating Buddha should look very incongruous.
But now, under the moonlight and candlelight, it appeared somewhat solemn and dignified.
“Do you understand the law of cause and effect?” The five-meter-tall golden toad opened its eyes and looked at everyone.
“Hand over the rare treasure! Let us pass through to the outside world, and I will spare your lives!”
Xia Donghua pointed his sword at the golden toad.
“You want the treasure?” The golden toad smiled at everyone.
“If so, then I’ll give it to you.”
The golden toad spat upward, and a blood-red demon core flew out of its belly.
A fierce wind blew into the temple.
Every surviving original resident of Baiwa City had a wisp of blood qi fly out of their bodies, circling the demon core continuously. The blood qi formed a crimson dragon that charged out of the temple.
Everyone looked up at the blood qi dragon.
The voice of the golden toad echoed in everyone’s ears.
“This dragon is the treasure you are looking for. Before dawn, whoever gets it shall be the master of Baiwa City.”
