A frown creased Yuan Huan’s brow as his assistant’s words sunk in. “Are you absolutely certain? You heard her say that herself?”

“Without a doubt,” the assistant confirmed earnestly. “It came straight from her lips.”

Curiosity piqued within Yuan Huan. “Where’d she unearth this newfound confidence? Does she have some hidden trump card up her sleeve?”

He mused over this, a contemplative silence settling over him. But even after much deliberation, no answer surfaced.

With a frustrated sigh, he rose to his feet. “No, I can’t sit here idly by. I need to confront her directly and get some answers!”

“Unfortunately, City Lord Yuan,” the assistant interjected, “Mayor Zhao is currently unavailable. I’m unaware of her whereabouts at this moment.”

“Unbelievable!” Yuan Huan sputtered, his exasperation mounting. “Where has this woman gone? This is pure madness!”

Flinging himself back down onto the chair, he fumed silently. A fiery rage simmered within him.

“Let her have her little moment of defiance,” he muttered through gritted teeth.

But she’d better remember her promise—to bear the full brunt of the consequences. If Skyplume City falls, she’d better be prepared to replace it with another!”

The assistant watched helplessly, her attempts to soothe him proving futile. “City Lord Yuan, please try to remain calm. Lady Zhao Qingya is a woman of considerable competence. Taking such a bold risk during a critical battle wouldn’t be something she’d do without a plan. After all, she did promise to shoulder the blame.”

“And even in the worst-case scenario,” she continued, “we can still rely on assistance from the United Division. There’s no need to fret excessively.

Everything will work out in the end.”

Yuan Huan simply waved her off, his impatience evident.

Meanwhile, back at the villa, Lu Yu lounged comfortably on the sofa, lost in the pages of a newspaper.

Suddenly, Jiang Xun burst through the door, a joyous glint in his eyes.

“Big Brother Lu, guess what? The Frost Dragon and I are practically best friends now! It even gave me a little kiss on the cheek just a moment ago!”

A smile played on Lu Yu’s lips. “That’s fantastic news. Keep up the good work, and focus on taming it as quickly as possible.”

Unease gnawed at Zhao Qingya. Witnessing Lu Yu’s nonchalant demeanor only amplified her anxiety.

“Why are you so relaxed?” she blurted out. “It’s as if nothing’s wrong!”

Lu Yu offered a reassuring shake of his head.

Don’t fret or worry. The real battle hasn’t even begun.”

Just then, a figure materialized behind Zhao Qingya, his voice laced with urgency.

“Mayor Zhao, the enemy is rapidly approaching! They’re only two thousand meters from the city walls!”

Panic flickered across his face. “They’ll be upon us any minute, ready to attack. The Venom Dragons have readied their poison bombs! If they unleash them within the city, the devastation will be unthinkable!”

Zhao Qingya pivoted towards Lu Yu, her voice tight with urgency. “Did you hear that? The enemy is at our doorstep. Time is running out!”

Lu Yu stretched languidly, a yawn escaping his lips. “Alright then, let’s get going. We don’t need to waste any more time. Let’s deal with them before moving on to other matters.”

With newfound purpose, he rose to his feet and strode towards the door, pushing it open with a flourish. Zhao Qingya followed closely behind.

“Should I arrange transportation for you?” she inquired.

“Traveling by horse out of the city will significantly slow you down.” Just then, Hu Zhan materialized beside them.

“There’s no need for a horse; Lu Yu can reach the battlefield much faster.’

Zhao Qingya’s brow furrowed in confusion. “Fly out? Is he planning to summon a wyvern?”

Hu Zhan chuckled, shaking his head in amusement.

Not at all. He can fly by himself.”

Zhao Qingya stared at Lu Yu, dumbfounded.

“Fly by himself? How is that possible? Grow wings? Does he have some kind of transformation ability?”

Her question was answered abruptly. Two shadowy dragon wings erupted from Lu Yu’s back, their scales shimmering with an inky mist. With a powerful beat, he launched himself into the air, hovering effortlessly.

Zhao Qingya’s eyes stretched wide in disbelief. “Real wings? But those are dragon wings! How did that happen?”

Lu Yu flapped his wings once more, the wind whipping past his face. “Just stay here and wait for good news. Don’t worry about anything else; I’ll handle it.”

With a curt nod, still reeling from the shock, Zhao Qingya watched as Lu Yu soared towards the city walls.

His speed was breathtaking. In a mere blink, he had crossed the wall and was met with the sight of the approaching Demon Lord Abyss army.

The enemy force consisted of a few tens of thousands of ground troops, dwarfed by the three colossal Poison Dragons soaring through the air. Their immense size and menacing aura sent shivers down their spines. Accompanying them were several ordinary wyverns, likely serving as mere cannon fodder.

Effortlessly, Lu Yu shot forward, his speed blurring him into an almost invisible streak. Before the Poison Dragons could react, he was upon them.

One of the dragons spotted him and lunged, initiating the confrontation. This was exactly what Lu Yu had hoped for—a direct fight. During their previous encounter, he had chosen to avoid combat, but the situation was different now.

Perhaps emboldened by their overwhelming numbers, the dragons displayed no fear. Gone was their previous flight instinct.

A hulking, purple-skinned figure perched atop the central Poison Dragon brandished a staff and bellowed at Lu Yu, his voice dripping with venom. “Foolish human! You dare stand alone against our might? You show us immense disrespect! Prepare to face the consequences!”

“Today, you will witness the true power of the Demon Lord Abyss! Your death is imminent! ”

The figure roared and unleashed a torrent of magical energy.

Unfazed, Lu Yu countered by drawing his Void Evil Blade. With a swift movement, he sliced open a rift in the very fabric of space. From the tear, a monstrous purple piranha materialized, its razor-sharp teeth glinting ominously.

The piranha propelled itself through the air in a blur of purple and zeroed in on the nearest Poison Dragon. This was just the beginning. More and more void fish swarmed out of the rift, a seemingly endless school swirling around the dragons like a swarm drawn to a light.

The scene became a chaotic ballet of gnashing teeth and thrashing bodies. The void fish, immune to the poisonous fog released by the dragons, relentlessly tore into their flesh, drawing agonizing roars from the once mighty beasts.

“Boss, what is this thing? Why can these strange fish fly?”

“My dragon’s faltering! What do we do?”

The leader, a hulking brute with a crimson eye patch, roared back, “Release the poison! Spray the poisonous fog!”

A noxious green mist erupted from canisters strapped to the Poison Dragons’ backs, engulfing the area in a choking cloud. But to their horror, the void fish were completely unaffected.

With relentless ferocity, the void fish continued their assault, their razor-sharp teeth tearing into the dragons’ flesh. The immense creatures thrashed and writhed in agony, their monstrous roars echoing across the battlefield..
