Chapter 790: Chapter 791: Taking Turns to Strike_1

"So, you want to start a fight?"

Dou Yanlan said coldly, while the middle-aged man revealed a strange smile and said,

"The little girl’s tongue is sharp indeed, but unfortunately, this world isn’t a place where just talking big will do."

"Great Lake Eagle, a Rare Level Spirit Beast, holds a stronger position among those of the same rank, and with the advantage of flight, it’s practically as powerful in actual combat as those Rare Level Spirit Beasts with formidable combat abilities."

Dou Yanlan said with a calm expression, cricking her neck as the middle-aged man glared menacingly and said,

"You have memorized the Spirit Beast data well. Given that, why aren’t you running away?"

"You wouldn’t dare attack in front of such a large crowd, and..."

Glancing at the students behind her who wanted to engage, Dou Yanlan continued calmly,

"A Rare Level Spirit Beast can’t take on a hundred lower-level Spirit Beasts like a Legendary Level can."

"We’ll see about that—attack!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s command, the deep brown eagle Spirit Beast spread its wings and soared high, with Xiao Ji following close behind. Soaring into the sky without waiting for Feng Yuan to say anything, Xiao Ji’s body ignited with black flames. A huge rift tore across the sky, and giant black fireballs plummeted towards the ground below.

"Xiao Ji is getting more and more proficient..."

Holding his forehead, Feng Yuan said speechlessly. As Xiao Ji gradually adapted to the power of Crimson Judgment, it was beginning to neutralize the side effects. As long as it wasn’t overused, Xiao Ji would only be temporarily weakened after casting.

"Did that thing named Xiao Ji do this?"

Feeling the rift in the sky that had broken through space, Gitalien murmured to himself, while Xiao Hui looked up at the sky and said fearfully,

"What is that..."

"Fireworks show, we’re quite lucky to see it."

"Fireworks show? It’s so beautiful~"

"What is she doing!"

The middle-aged man cursed in dissatisfaction, as in front of him, the screen showed the area of Dao Lake City turning red, with a string of blood-red numbers increasing rapidly. The personnel operating the computers below said a bit nervously,

"The values have exceeded the safe margin; the power is projected to surpass the limits the City Defense System can withstand, and it’s still increasing!"

"Calculate it, if we use the new City Defense System, can it be defended against?"

"No use! The numbers are still increasing; it’s gone beyond the limits of Legendary Level!"

"Could it be the power of a Divine Beast?"

"How could that be! Where would a Death-series Divine Beast come from?!"

"Then how do you explain these numbers now?"

"Ancient Ruins?"

"No abnormal value changes have been detected, the threat is unrelated to the Ancient Ruins."

"Quickly calculate whether it will trigger the defense mechanism of the Ancient Ruins."

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s command, the personnel below hesitated before replying weakly,

"We don’t have detailed data on that Ancient Ruin; we can’t make the calculation."

"This is really troublesome."

Agunas helplessly took out the Golden Book; he didn’t dare to directly receive Xiao Ji’s Crimson Judgment. It wasn’t a matter of whether he could withstand it or not. Although Xiao Ji was still weak, the power of the Crimson Judgment was entirely supported by its unique attributes. But if he interfered, what would happen to Dao Lake City and Lake Bai Dao below was an open question.

The power of such mortal enemies, a mere seepage, could cause a huge disaster; Feng Yuan looked at Agunas helplessly and said,

"This has nothing to do with me. It’s acting on its own, plus, he was the one who made the first move."

In the sky, under the influence of the Crimson Judgment, the Great Lake Eagle couldn’t fly and awkwardly fell back beside the middle-aged man. Wary of the black eagle above, the middle-aged man glared at Feng Yuan and said,

"You’re making an enemy of Great Xia!"

"Hey, hey! Don’t pin this baseless accusation on me, okay? It was you who attacked first and scared it, how can you blame me?"

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said loudly in dissatisfaction. At this moment, the entire defense corps and special forces of Lake Bai Dao were on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy. The huge rift in the sky was releasing an extremely terrifying pressure, and although the falling dark fireballs disappeared for unknown reasons, the terror they had brought when they first descended upon their heads made it clear to everyone.

If a single fireball had successfully hit the ground, that area would have become a dead zone.

"Keep at it, or you might really not be able to stop that thing."

Feng Yuan threw the Dark Ancient Book to Agunas and spoke helplessly; he could sense that Agunas was using the Power of Time to forcibly erase the Netherfire that kept falling. However, doing so was quite taxing for Agunas. As a Divine Beast Technique that did not differentiate between friend and foe, Crimson Judgement’s power had been greatly enhanced, and if Xiao Ji really put its heart into it, reaching the power level of a Divine Beast was not out of the question.

Agunas quickly took over the Dark Ancient Book, flipped it open with a small paw and swept across, and a dark barrier enveloped the entire Lake Bai Dao. The fireballs that bombarded the barrier failed to cause even the slightest ripple.

"Come back!"

Feng Yuan shouted toward the sky, uncertain whether Xiao Ji could hear him. Sensing the power of the barrier below that it could not break through and feeling the familiar presence above, Xiao Ji flew down discontentedly and landed in front of Feng Yuan, looking quite unhappy.

Feng Yuan rubbed Xiao Ji’s head with a bit of a chuckle and said,

"You might be happy wreaking havoc, but I’m afraid we’ll have to run to a different region with you."

Scratching Xiao Ji’s neck, Feng Yuan spoke to Agunas,

"Later, would you mind teaching it about the laws? Not that it has to obey, but it would be better if it could avoid breaking them, right?"

Agunas nodded. Honestly, it did not take human laws seriously, generally avoiding chaos out of a desire not to create turmoil rather than any respect for those laws. In its view, Xiao Ji’s reckless use of its indiscriminate, injurious Divine Beast Technique was indeed problematic.

Looking somewhat puzzled at Agunas, Xiao Ji seemed not to understand what they were talking about. Feng Yuan looked up at the Great Lake Eagle returning to the sky and said,

"I’m leaving it in your care. Although it’s only of Rare Level, it’s not something they can handle, and moreover..."

Feng Yuan still found the other party’s attitude odd. If it were just directed at a few individuals, that’d be one thing, but the person seemed to be deliberately causing trouble for everyone present.

"Something hidden behind all this... Could it be that something has happened here?"

Feng Yuan felt an inexplicable urge to return home, sensing that staying here would inevitably lead to some baffling incidents. Agunas tossed the Dark Ancient Book back to Feng Yuan and floated into the air, waving a paw to summon translucent chains that locked onto the Great Lake Eagle. With a pulling gesture from its paw, the eagle, still in flying stance, was yanked down from the air by Agunas.

"It’s you!"

The man seemed to recognize Agunas and spoke warily, looking at the middle-aged man. Agunas said indifferently,

"I don’t care what you’re thinking, and I’m not interested in knowing. All I know is you want to mess with my friend."

As Agunas flicked its paw, a Rune Circle composed of six golden Runes appeared out of nowhere behind it, and the phantom shadows of books materialized in the air around it.

"Divine Beast-level power! Attribute of strength, Time!"

"Lorraine Tower has taken action? Who’s causing trouble!"

The man responsible for monitoring unusual events in Great Xia yelled angrily. In the past, if there had been no dealings with Lorraine Tower, it would have been one thing, but now, someone in Dao Lake City had provoked Lorraine Tower into acting?

"We’re trying to contact the special forces team over there."

After detecting the Divine Beast-level power of the Time Series, everyone was on edge. They all understood the gravity of the largest crisis facing them, and no one was willing to tolerate those who deliberately angered Lorraine Tower at such a time.

"Could it be related to the Ancient Ruins? After all..."

Someone cautiously spoke up. After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man said,

"Investigate!"

"Agunas’s power? What are they up to now?"

Old Wei looked toward Dao Lake City with some surprise, feeling that power from far away in Shenhua City. The other party must have been serious, but if he remembered correctly, Agunas was supposed to be with Feng Yuan. With that guy around, how could anyone infuriate Agunas?

"You’re doing this..."

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas with some speechlessness. He could guess how much of an uproar Agunas’s move would cause. Apart from the department responsible for monitoring Great Xia’s anomalies, just the incidents in Dao Lake City alone – two large-scale anomalies happening in succession – would be surprising if the special forces and the defense corps didn’t show up.
