The Princess And The Lord

Lory could feel the intensity of the black mana around her gradually decrease by more than a half that indicating that Lazarus' strength had weakened. Lory knows this is her chance!

Lory pointed her staff at Lazarus soon the light from the crystal from her staff cast down upon Lazarus' large body and soon after the iron scales that cover his body begin to crumble down and scattered into black smoke that permeated the air but then from the smoke comes human silhouettes and they all crying and screaming trying to get themselves out of the smokes and desperately reached for the light.

"Stop!" Lazarus screamed like thunder as he realizes the detrimental effect of Lory's action on his fate.

The moment his iron scales disappeared, he inevitably become vulnerable to Zhao Li Xin's attacks so he had no way to protect himself from the flames and lightning that were thrown his way.

"Damn you Lucient, why do you always get in my way?! And you Zhao Li Xin, you are just like him you always choose others over me, I'm your family!" Lazarus spewed his nonsense anger freely.

"Please don't force your trauma on me, I just don't care!" Zhao Li Xin swiftly moved through the air like a graceful crane, he slashed Lazarus' body several times causing his black blood to spurt into the air.

Lazarus screamed in pain, his body contorted sharply caused by the intense pain.

"I'll kill you all - I won't let you win! It's not over yet, do you hear me?!"

Lazarus made a sharp dive to the ground and then flew at high speed not far from the ground and causing all the paths he passed were shattered completely as if exploded by a huge bomb, it don't take a long time before the entire area of Yishan Mountain and Empyrean's Green forest was blown apart.

At that time Jin Hao and the others were also panic-stricken, they hurriedly summoned their Flying Beasts and flew high before the entire plain where they were standing collapsed, but unfortunately, a strong wind blew them away along with sharp rocks, branches, and trees that blown away towards their direction.

As a result, their flying beast lost control. They tried to grip their flying beast' reins so they wouldn't be thrown into the air while trying to control the beast at the same time, but that was not easy because they also had to defend themselves from various objects flying at them.

"Ohh, I'm so not multitaskingggg!" Bei Li Yan gave a complaining scream as she swung her whip smashing the rocks flying toward her while gripping the reins of her flying beast which was now flying wildly.

"Come on, it's nothing!" Jiang Jin Wei who had accidentally lost his weapon now jumped off his flying beast and then used his bare hands to punch the foreign objects flying around with vigor before landing on Jin Hao's and Wu San Bo's flying beast, if one didn't know better they probably thought Jiang Jin Wei was enjoying it too much.

Suddenly a sharp stone scratched Wu San Bo's hand he jerked and accidentally released his hand from the reins of the flying beast as a result he was carried away by the strong wind along with the various flying sharp objects that cut his arms and face, obviously, Wu San Bo was in a pinch then suddenly his wrists were held by something likes ropes which saved him from falling, turn out it was Bei Li Yan whip.

"Wait!" Bei Li Yan shouted towards him.

Wu San Bo realized then using all his strength he pulled himself up then managed to land safely behind Bei Li Yan.

"We have to get out of here!" Jing Jin Wei shouted urgently to the others.

"WHERE?!" Ming Yue Yin saw no signs of this destruction abating, although the good news was that they had finally managed to control their flying beasts still they had no idea where to go since they were right in a center of the destruction.

"Fly higher!" Jin Hao exclaimed, in such a situation it is useless against the wind it is better to follow him.

Jin Hao looked around then looked up then noticed the pressure above didn't seem too severe "Up!" Jin Hao shouted then directed his flying beast to fly up high.

Yuan Shao also realized that the only way was up, and he shouted, "Fly up!" while hugging Ming Yue Yin he jerked his flying beast to fly higher, everyone saw Yuan Shao and followed him.

Seeing the devastation around her Lory was stressed thinking about the safety of all her friends and subordinates but then she caught multiple flying beasts flying high away from the explosion area below, even though they were still in a dangerous area but for a while, they would be fine

But lory didn't have time to feel relieved because he saw Lazarus flying towards the capital Yu Jin and if that happened more innocent people would die, including his friends who were fighting in the capital, he couldn't let it happen!

"Li Xin, we can't let Lazarus go to the capital!" Lory shouted urgently.

"I KNOW!" Zhao Li Xin gathered her Qi then a fiery rope appeared and tied Lazarus' gigantic body like a spider's web catching its prey.

For a moment Lazarus' movement stopped but Lazarus didn't give up easily, he struggled fiercely to escape from the strings that bind him and Zhao Li Xin's fire strings will not be able to hold the snake's humongous body any longer.

Lory also did not remain idle either as she realized that Zhao Li Xin's fire strings would not be strong enough to hold Lazarus, therefore Lory raised her trinity staff to summon a blizzard, then formed a thick wall of ice that blocked Lazarus from advancing to the capital.

[Lory, I don't think that will stop Lazarus!] Girsha reminded her with a worried tone.

[I know, we have to get Lazarus far away from here!] Lory tighten her grip on her staff and then increased her power.

[Farway? where?] Before Girsha could finish his question.

Suddenly a large amount of water gushed out from the gaping chasm one by one then pushed Lazarus' gigantic body like a jet pump, knowing what Lory's intention was, Zhao Li Xin then used all his strength using the firing string to tighten the bonds on Lazarus' body then made a long jump into the sky while pulling Lazarus along with him.

Lory's eyes shone with purple light as she flew while pushing Lazarus with the power of water and wind to drag the demon as far away from people as possible.

Everyone stared in awe, they blinked their eyes a few times to make sure they weren't dreaming, how could a human possibly pull that mountain-sized snake into the sky, even as powerful cultivators who had seen many unbelievable things in their entire lives but never they have seen something as crazy as this.

"Lory!" Ming Yue Yin screamed in fright.

"Sir!" Mong Yi was stunned to see Lory and Zhao Li Xin dragging the giant snake and others also could only watch in dismay.

Unfortunately, they realize there was nothing they could do anymore as they had reached their limit from here on they could only leave the end of the fight to Lory, Zhao Li Xin, and Girsha.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Yang Xi Ying and Li Mo Zhen watched what happened from the backs of their flying beasts with worried looks.

"Lory and Zhao Li Xin will be fine right" Yang Xi Ying's eyes shifted to Li Mo Zhen hoping to be reassured.

Usually, Li Mo Zhen would just say yes to comfort his wife but this time he didn't know how to convince Yang Xi Yin without showing it as a lie. Since being with Lory and Zhao Li Xin he had experienced unimaginable fights but they turned out to be nothing compared to what he was witnessing right now, Li Mo Zhen even still found it difficult that the two people who were facing the giant person were the same people that spend time with him casually.

Guilt and regret crept into his heart, if only he could help Lory and Zhao Li Xin more alas, there was nothing he could do, it seem he was destined to be unable to repay his debt for the rest of his life. Li Mo Zhen gently press Yang Xi Ying's head against his chest then helplessly said: "We can only pray for them Xi Ying…that's all we could do for them."

The crack stopped just a few meters inside the capital leaving a ghastly open chasm in the ground. Shin Jiu, Tian Meng Ji, Jin Hua, and the others stared at the gaping abyss with eyes full of horror, they couldn't imagine what would happen if this rift cut through the entire capital.

Even a great cultivator would find it difficult to avoid this disaster let alone ordinary people especially children and the elderly, there was no way to escape it!

Emperor Changlan swallowed hard as he didn't dare to think about what would happen to the kingdom he loved.

"You see that giant snake?" Jin Hua looked up at the sky with a pale face.

"It's hard not to see it..." Lan Hua's voice filled with dread.

"And that golden fire and ice wall..." Mei Gui's face stiffened.

"My Lord and master are facing that giant demon…" Shin Jiu clenched his fist as dread grasped his lungs he was barely able to breathe.

"Are they....going to be okay?" Guan Men Niang muttered quietly still everyone could hear her clearly but no one spoke.

"Don't worry about them, we still have a lot of evil monsters to deal with!" Tian Meng Ji broke the silence.

Everyone's attention returned to the remaining dark creatures but not before they didn't seem as aggressive as before in fact their bodies seemed to have shrunk from before since the light came.

"They seem to be weakening, this is our chance!" Jin Hua said.

"Let's clean up before the four palace Kings and our Master's return!" Lan Hua added.
