However, the science center, which was defended by the White Tiger, and the eagle peak, which was defended by the Azure Dragon, were both secondary battlefields.
The battlefield in the north where the Black Tortoise stood was the one that would decide whether or not the Transcendent heroes of Dragon City could return in time!
“Second Brother!”
In the seawater, Ruan Xiaoqi seemed devastated.
In his heart, Ruan Xiaoer, who had a huge b.l.o.o.d.y hole in his chest, had stopped breathing.
Dozens of meters away, Ruan Xiaowu was protecting the beautiful mermaid whose b.r.e.a.s.t.s were covered by black sh.e.l.ls.
A tremendous number of sea monsters swam past them and swarmed towards Ruan Xiaoqi.
“You all deserve to die!”
Ruan Xiaoqi, enraged, threw out his broken weapon first, which instantly killed a gigantic Commander-level sea monster.
Then, he picked up the Hundred-Scaled Saber that slipped from Ruan Xiaoer's hands.
Then, a layer of flames that resembled liquid metal was ablaze on the saber that was made of a hundred dark red pieces.
The Bloodthirsty Golden Fire was a fire that contained Transcendent power. Ruan Xiaoer got it on a Battlefield of Providence back in the City of Humans. After Ruan Xiaoqi arrived, Ruan Xiaoer gave the weapon to him because he was short of a piece of Transcendent equipment.
As a Transcendent fire, the Bloodthirsty Golden Fire could burn with blood in the water!
Clang!
In his exasperation, Ruan Xiaoqi brandished the saber.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Immediately, hundreds of Golden Fire Blade Fish dispersed crazily in the seawater and dashed into the sea beasts in the area like daggers, causing wounds and igniting their flowing blood.
Clang, clang, clang…
Standing next to the Commander-level mermaid, Ruan Xiaowu waved the claw on his remaining arm crazily and blocked the attack of the blade fish.
However, while he could fend off the fish, he was unable to resist the golden fire that they carried, especially when the sea monsters were dying and flames were popping up everywhere in the water!
Pop! Crackle!
There was the noise of something being broken.
As it turned out, the colorful threads that the Commander-level mermaid sent out to the bodies of the soldiers and monsters were burnt by the golden fire in the water and broken.
Pew!
In the next moment, the black sh.e.l.ls that covered the mermaid's b.r.e.a.s.t.s were suddenly broken, and a sharp pointy yellow claw extended out of her chest from her back, with a beating red heart in the middle of it.
It was exactly like how Ruan Xiaoer died earlier.
Ruan Xiaowu did it!
“You killed my brother…”
Ruan Xiaowu, who had regained his freedom after the threads were burnt, had eyes that were almost popping out and shedding b.l.o.o.d.y tears in the seawater.
After all, being manipulated by the enemy to kill his own brother was even more brutal than being minced into thousands of pieces.
“%&%!” the mermaid screamed miserably.
They had different body structures from human beings. Some threads were connected to their bodies from their hearts.
Therefore, she did not die just yet even though her heart had been gouged out.
Instead, she shrieked and unleashed soundwaves that contained extraordinary power towards Ruan Xiaowu's head.
In addition, a lot of new colorful threads appeared around her quickly and surged towards Ruan Xiaowu, slithering into his veins and trying to possess him again!
“Die!”
However, even though Ruan Xiaoer's eyes, ears, and nostrils were all spurting blood because of the blast of the soundwaves, he had already squished the heart in his hand before the threads reentered his arm.
“Ah!”
The mermaid, who looked quite s.e.xy from a human's perspective, cried in excruciating pain.
However, the cry only lasted half a second.
Boom!
It was because her blood had already flowed into the seawater, and a fish that carried the Bloodthirsty Golden Fire crashed into it.
Immediately, a huge explosion took place with the mermaid at the center.
A tide several meters tall was raised, and the seawater within a hundred meters was turned into bright gold with roiling flames swallowing all those sea monsters.
“Well, someone did choose 'Ignite' as their summoner spell. But how did this explosion happen?”
Inside the City Master's office, some players were surprised, and their eyes were wide open.
“According to ancient myths, the mermaids' oil has a very low ignition temperature, and every drop of it can burn for days. It's said that the lamps in some mausoleums can burn for a thousand years with mermaids' oil as fuel!” Elder Meng remarked.
Similar to the yakshas, the mermaids were mythical creatures from ancient times.
However, the mermaids in the Land of Inheritance weren't just those from ancient myths.
They also boasted the abilities of the mermaids and sirens from ancient tales. They could be a combination of the three species.
However, since they had the advantages of all three species, they likely carried their weaknesses of fire too.
Of course, technically speaking, it wasn't really a weakness. After all, the mermaids lived in the water and were unlikely to get in touch with fire.
However, in the Land of Inheritance, there were all sorts of Extraordinary and even Transcendent fires.
This Bloodthirsty Golden Fire, which burnt with blood as the fuel, was definitely one of the banes to the mermaids.
However, this one saber that could “ignite” the mermaids wasn't nearly enough to deal with the army of more than a hundred thousand mermaids.
In the intense explosion, the Commander-level mermaid and a hundred sea monsters were killed together with Ruan Xiaowu.
But very soon, new sea monsters filled in their places. In addition, because of the noises of the explosion, the two Transcendent sea monsters that Ruan Xiaoqi had gotten rid of came back again.
Splas.h.!.+
A blue jellyfish that was entirely transparent suddenly unleashed an attraction force towards Ruan Xiaoqi.
It quickly expanded as if the air were sucked into it. It became ten meters in diameter… and then a hundred meters. The seawater within the range was instantly compressed.
In the front, Ruan Xiaoqi, who was moving towards the Black Tortoise with Ruan Xiaoer's body on his back, was instantly slowed down.
“Hiss!”
Next to the jellyfish was a black-and-white snake that looked like the coral snake on the continent but was much longer. Its body flashed, and the bands on the body turned into a hundred translucent black and white rings.
The rings moved quickly in the water and then tied up Ruan Xiaoqi, making him swim even more slowly. He even started to move backward!
Pew!
After he was caught by a dozen black and white rings, Ruan Xiaoqi vomited a mouthful of blood after both the jellyfish and the sea snake released a Transcendent vibe.
Although they were only Transcendent Rank-1, they were strong enemies to Ruan Xiaoqi who was exhausted from the consecutive battles.
Clang!
However, when more and more rings covered Ruan Xiaoqi as the snake regathered its body, ready to swallow him, a saber roared loudly on the back of the Black Tortoise on the surface of the sea.
An astonis.h.i.+ng purple-and-black aura was launched into the seawater from the top!
Clang, clang, clang…
The hundred black and white rings were all cut apart by the sword aura.
Then, the Transcendent snake resumed its real form in the seawater, and its body, which was more than a hundred meters long, was cut into halves from head to toe.
The one attack had slain a Transcendent sea monster!
“Chief Ruan, don't panic. We're here for you!”
Wu Song stood on the Black Tortoise's black like a G.o.d. He confronted the tens of thousands of sea monsters with glowing eyes.
Next to him, a ferocious tiger, which had bloodshot eyes and a pair of purple-and-black fiery wings, was squatting.

[Description: An accident happened when the Dragon City's Master fused the Ghost Tiger Saber with the b.l.o.o.d.y Tiger Battle Tally, and this unusual treasure that's half a weapon and half a living creature was formed.]
“Roar!”
The h.e.l.lish Blood Tiger opened its mouth towards the sea, and a lot of purple flames gushed out.
Immediately, the soul of the black snake, whose body had just been cut apart by Wu Song, was burned into nothingness.
The h.e.l.lish fire continued to burn with the soul as the fuel. Naturally, it wasn't affected by seawater too!
“Humph. You're just puppets under control. What do you think you're capable of?”
While the h.e.l.lish Blood Tiger burned the sea snake, a yellow qilin that was about thirty meters tall appeared in the sky and rushed in the raging wind, so fast that normal players couldn't see it clearly at all.
It went straight at the Transcendent Conqueror Jellyfish and crashed into it without using any trick.
Boom!
The seawater rose to the sky as if a small nuclear explosion had taken place.
The Conqueror Jellyfish, which had absorbed a tremendous amount of water and became a hundred meters long, sank a dozen meters after the collision. A huge hole appeared on its body, and a lot of seawater leaked out. It was incapable of fighting for now!
“Those who invade Dragon City will all die!”
The yellow qilin shrunk in size after the collision.
In the end, it turned into a suit of armor that was made of the parts of a qilin, and it covered a man who was tall and looked as magnificent as a deity.
He was none other than Lu Junyi.
