X-Dragon Era

Facing Yi Luo Xiang's full-fledged Soul Control, the Death Sand Dragon Leader let out a long neigh to the sky and once again exploded into a sky full of sand. With a slight whirl, it transformed into a grey-black tornado and rolled towards the two.

"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, Xin Yun couldn't help but curse. Over the past three days, Xin Yun had thought this Sand Dragon Leader was just of the Nine Ranks, at most a Leader Dragon of Ten Ranks, but looking at the scene before him, Xin Yun knew he was mistaken.

To become a Leader Dragon, one is generally a Full Star Dragon, at the very least a Nine Star, which is eight or nine stars below Xin Yun. But it's important to know that even a typical Sand Dragon Leader, upon reaching Ten Stars, might not be able to execute this move—Sandstorm Blast!

The so-called Sandstorm Blast is when a Sand Dragon, in sand form, spins the surrounding sand into a sandstorm that continuously attacks the enemy, with a rather astonishing destructive power, a battle skill that can be mastered by a Sand Dragon of the silver rank.

Of course, the Leader Dragon currently executing it is still somewhat strained and is not a true sandstorm. Still, even so, it's enough to prove that this guy's strength is between that of a Bronze Ten Stars and Silver One Star! Only a step away from the true silver rank.

"Run!" As the huge storm rolled in, Xin Yun didn't hesitate and turned around to shout to Yi Luo Xiang, while at the same time, riding on Yinglong and continuing to flee with a howl.

When a Sand Dragon is in its sandy flow form, it does not receive any attacks. Therefore, once the sandstorm is activated, it cannot be stopped unless the energy that it is whipping up is completely exhausted.

Naturally, if there is an attack of sufficient energy, then one can also use an attack against an attack to exhaust the spinning energy within the storm. Although it is still not possible to harm the Sand Dragon, it can stop the sandstorm.

Unfortunately, the distance between them was too close now. Even if Xin Yun wanted to counter the sandstorm with an offense, there simply wasn't enough time. By the time he exhausted it, the sandstorm would have already hit him.

"Huh?" As he turned the Dragon's head, preparing to flee with all his might, Xin Yun glanced sideways to see Yi Luo Xiang gently flapping the wings of her Flash Butterfly, still hovering there, only now her body was starting to become translucent.

"Not good!" Seeing this, Xin Yun immediately understood. Three days of fleeing had caused Yi Luo Xiang's mental power to be greatly depleted, and she had obviously exhausted all her potential just a moment ago. Now in a semi-comatose state, the Flash Butterfly could dissipate at any moment.

Looking forward, the grey-black Sandstorm Blast howled towards them, and Yi Luo Xiang was right between Xin Yun and the approaching storm. To go back to rescue her would inevitably mean being unable to escape the assault of the sandstorm.

Grinding his teeth fiercely, Xin Yun grabbed onto the Dragon's horns, and Yinglong sharply circled back, darting toward Yi Luo Xiang. At the same time, the oncoming sandstorm also charged toward Yi Luo Xiang furiously.

Although the distance from both sides to Yi Luo Xiang was about the same, once the wings were used, Yinglong was indeed a bit faster than the Sand Dragon. Therefore, Xin Yun managed to reach Yi Luo Xiang before the sandstorm.

Just as Xin Yun arrived, the Flash Butterfly finally completely dispersed into a sky filled with purple light, vanishing into the air. With his arms wide open, Xin Yun managed to catch Yi Luo Xiang's body falling from midair just in time.

Holding Yi Luo Xiang tightly, Xin Yun couldn't help but feel the terror of what might have happened had he been a moment later. From the current height, being thousands of meters above the ground, even a piece of iron could be smashed out of shape if it fell, let alone a person. Unless one had reached the diamond rank, death would be certain.

"Woo..." While Xin Yun was silently thankful, amidst the shrill wail, the sandstorm furiously rolled in less than fifty meters away. Seeing this, Xin Yun couldn't help but sigh. There was no time to run now; he could only defend! Explore more stories with empire

As sparks erupted in his eyes, Xin Yun let out a bellow—Dragon Coil!

Following Xin Yun's voice, Yinglong's slender dragon form swiftly coiled itself in midair, creating a sealed space around Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang.

"Whoosh whoosh..." Almost at the moment Yinglong completed the Dragon Coil, countless pebble-sized sand grains whistled as they battered Yinglong's body surface, producing a dense noise.

Feeling the impact of the millions of sand grains, Xin Yun held Yi Luo Xiang tightly, veins bulging on his forehead from the intense pain, as if waves were crashing against his nerves, sweat beads the size of beans kept popping out from under his skin, merging into streams flowing down, quickly soaking his clothes.

In the dimly lit space, a tender and delicate white hand gently raised, tenderly wiping the sweat streaming down Xin Yun's face, and at the same time, the voice of Yi Luo Xiang softly spoke up, "Silly, why did you come back? How much do you want me to owe you before you're satisfied?"

Looking at the haggard Yi Luo Xiang in his arms, Xin Yun clenched his teeth, shaking all over, he said, "You are mine, even Death itself won't take you away in my presence. If anyone wants to harm you, they'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Hearing Xin Yun's domineering words, Yi Luo Xiang quietly closed her eyes, her eyes quickly moistened, and although Xin Yun's words were domineering, she liked it. Yes... she belonged to Xin Yun, but at the same time, Xin Yun also belonged to her. This had nothing to do with fairness; she wanted to be domineering too.

Finally, the sandstorm outside ceased. Sensing the outside view, the gray sand grains in the sky rapidly gathered together, forming the figure of the Death Sand Dragon Leader from feet to head.

"Tch..." Seeing this scene, Xin Yun couldn't help but grit his teeth. The reason for their desperate situation was not that they couldn't fight back, but because he wanted Yi Luo Xiang to control this Sand Dragon. Otherwise, even though they couldn't kill the Leader Dragon, there was still a chance to drive him off.

Within the Dragon Coil, Xin Yun slowly extended his right hand, his fingers gradually closing. Since this guy had caused him so much pain, it was time to let him taste being beaten.

"Huff..." With a fierce punch, in an instant... right in front of the just-formed Death Sand Dragon Leader, a clenched Dragon's Claw roared as it hammered down.

"Boom!" With a dull sound, the sand body of the just-materialized Sand Dragon Leader exploded into a cloud of gray sand, and with an artful twist, it fled into the distance.

Seeing this, Xin Yun couldn't help but laugh. Although the Sand Dragon couldn't be killed, it still relied on energy to form its body, and if it sustained enough damage, the Death Sand Dragon would disperse into mere sand grains as well.

The Death Sand Dragon wasn't invincible; it just couldn't be completely killed. Coupled with the fact that there were hundreds to thousands of them at once, this made them unstoppable. Those that could threaten the Nine Great Experts were Diamond Rank or higher Death Sand Dragons.

A Death Sand Dragon Leader like the one in front of them could be wiped out by the Nine Great Experts effortlessly, no different from an ant.

For the Nine Great Experts, it wasn't just this insignificant Bronze Rank Death Sand Dragon that they could destroy; even if they had to obliterate a city with millions of people, they wouldn't need a second strike; their attacks were far more fierce than atomic bombs.

Slowly unfolding his coiled dragon form, at this moment, Xin Yun was truly enraged. The recent sandstorm had caused him immense suffering, not an overstatement to be described as a thousand cuts, and he couldn't swallow his pride without teaching this guy a lesson.

Off in the distance, the sand dust once again began to converge, and with the twist of the wind, the Death Sand Dragon Leader began to reform its body. Seeing this, Xin Yun's right hand reached out again, his fingers clenching fiercely. As the Sand Dragon Leader completed its reformation, a gigantic, unyielding Dragon's Claw tightly gripped the Death Sand Dragon's neck in its grasp.
