Chapter 585: Chapter 571: Escape from Death

"Ah!"

The City Lord of Tianyuan City screamed miserably, heavily injured by Xiao Ye’s peak strike, and he found it extremely difficult to move. He could only watch in horror as he was sent flying towards the Heavenly Dragon Beast.

"Roar!"

The Heavenly Dragon Beast opened its huge blood basin and created a strong suction force, flying towards the Tianyuan City Lord and swallowed him whole without any suspense.

"Phew—"

Seeing this, Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief; the Tianyuan City Lord had sent his men to assassinate him, and now this vendetta was finally avenged.

Immediately after, Xiao Ye’s heart trembled, feeling the hairs on his body stand on end. He turned his head and saw the lantern-like eyes of the Heavenly Dragon Beast glaring fiercely at him, obviously still unsatisfied with its hunger even after swallowing so many Martial Artists.

"Damn!" Xiao Ye cursed in his heart and spurred on his movement technique, turning his head to run.

No joke, this giant creature, even if he used all his means, there was no chance of victory, and he could only do his best to escape.

"Roar!"

Seeing Xiao Ye daring to run away, the Heavenly Dragon Beast let out an angry roar. Its massive body blocked out the sun, crushing the void as it chased after Xiao Ye.

In just a moment, Xiao Ye felt a sudden strong wind from behind, accompanied by the smell of blood and deafening roar of the beast, scaring him pale.

This Heavenly Dragon Beast, incredibly, had given up on chasing the Martial Artists who were fleeing on the ground and targeted him instead. The distance between them continually closed, and no matter how he spurred his movement technique, he couldn’t shake it off.

"This beast has finally stopped chasing us; that young man not only killed that detestable fat man but also saved us!"

"Yeah, let’s take this opportunity to escape!"

...

The remaining two hundred or so Martial Artists on the ground looked up in shock as the Heavenly Dragon Beast flew over their heads, feeling surprised and enormously grateful towards Xiao Ye.

They had no affection for the City Lord of Tianyuan City, and Xiao Ye had drawn away the Heavenly Dragon Beast, so of course, they were thankful.

In the next moment, these Martial Artists, like fleas, leaped into the forest and swiftly vanished from sight.

If Xiao Ye knew their thoughts, he would definitely feel like crying but have no tears.

It wasn’t that he wanted to attract the Heavenly Dragon Beast; this beast had targeted him.

"Damn it, Little White, it’s all up to you now!" Xiao Ye yelled as he saw the beast was within arm’s reach and could even clearly see its ferocious face.

"Whimper!"

Little White understood Xiao Ye’s words, flew out of his arms into mid-air, and its body rapidly grew into a majestic wolf-like Ferocious Beast, nearly twice the height of a man, glaring fiercely at the Heavenly Dragon Beast and making a sound Xiao Ye had never heard before.

"Roar!"

The Heavenly Dragon Beast, seeing Little White’s massive body, a faint reverence actually rose in the depths of its lantern-like eyes, and it was immediately gone, as it roared angrily at Little White, halting its massive body.

"Did it work?" Xiao Ye swiftly hid behind a Heavenly Tree, looked up towards this side.

He saw Little White and the Heavenly Dragon Beast confronting each other above the Heaven, with low growls occasionally coming from their mouths, seemingly communicating, creating a very tense atmosphere.

Although Xiao Ye had some confidence in Little White’s talent, at this moment he couldn’t help but feel nervous.

He took out the Ye Blade, his body surging with King Martial Power, ready to strike at any moment and launch an attack on the Heavenly Dragon Beast.

As time passed, the negotiation between Little White and the Heavenly Dragon Beast seemed to break down, the beast’s aura completely overwhelmed Little White, its massive body flying toward Little White, its immense beastly might sweeping across all directions, causing the dense forest below to shiver.

"Little White!"

Xiao Ye’s face changed dramatically, his heart hardened, and he gripped the Ye Blade and charged out.

Having faced so many difficulties together, Xiao Ye had long regarded Little White as a friend; naturally, he would not abandon Little White and escape alone.

But at this moment, Little White’s fur bristled, emitting a white glow as if a ferocious beast had been provoked. A purple, peculiar aura emanated from Little White, enveloping the Heavenly Dragon Beast.

The Heavenly Dragon Beast, shrouded in this purple aura, actually trembled, as if it had seen something terrifying.

"Roar!"

Purple light burst from Little White’s eyes, reflecting off the purple aura, and he let out a low growl, as if giving orders.

Upon hearing Little White’s beast roar, any emotion in the Heavenly Dragon Beast’s lantern-like eyes disappeared, and then it dully turned its head and flew in another direction.

"This..." Xiao Ye stopped in his tracks, his face full of disbelief at the aura released by Little White, which he had never seen before.

"Woo woo!"

After doing all this, Little White’s body rapidly shrank, returning to a petite form, seemingly drained of all strength, its eyes dimmed, then it fell from mid-air.

"Little White!" Xiao Ye was startled, hurriedly flew over, grabbed Little White, and immediately turned and ran.

He remembered Little White once said that he could control the Heavenly Dragon Beast for the duration of ten breaths, which must have been the skill he just deployed.

Ten breaths was a very short time, Xiao Ye certainly wasn’t about to waste it.

He put Little White back into his embrace, pushed his movement technique to the extreme, and quickly disappeared into the sky horizon.

After ten breaths, Little White’s influence on the Heavenly Dragon Beast wore off; it came to its senses, suddenly issuing a sky-shaking roar filled with endless rage, soaring into the sky, searching everywhere for Xiao Ye and Little White.

Unfortunately, ten breaths was too long for a King Martial Realm Expert; it looked around but saw no trace of Xiao Ye and Little White.

That day, the Three Alliances Domain faced a catastrophe.

The Heavenly Dragon Beast, finding no trace of Xiao Ye and Little White, vented all its anger on the martial artists of the Three Alliances Domain, instantly dozens of cities were subject to a deadly purge, countless martial artists died, and the Three Alliances sustained heavy casualties.

In the end, it was the Three Alliances who dispatched an Emperor Martial Realm Expert, who single-handedly slew the Heavenly Dragon Beast, thus resolving the disaster.

After this event, the Emperor Martial Realm Expert did not leave but came to Tianyuan City.

For he was the Law Enforcement Elder of the Sky Sword Sect within the Three Alliances.

His visit here was not only to deal with the Heavenly Dragon Beast but also to seek the whereabouts of the young man surnamed Leng, who was the child of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master.

Soon, he discovered that not only had the Tianyuan City Lord disappeared, but even the child of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master was missing.

He became furious, launched an investigation using drastic measures, and through faint clues, half a month later, he focused his target on Xiao Ye.
