Chapter 617: Chapter 616 Qiuqiu

Hiss—

The piercing whistles grew closer and closer, and Shao Zifeng could even see the spiral air currents outside the metallic spear; Lingling was far from being quick enough to dodge it.

Lingling struggled to break free from Shao Zifeng’s embrace, but its recent burst of energy left it somewhat weak, almost blown away by the night wind before Shao Zifeng held it tightly in his arms again.

The small deer widened its eyes and turned to ram into the metallic spear.

Shao Zifeng’s face, however, showed no emotion; he calmly watched the approaching metallic spear, golden-red glimmers twinkling deep within his pupils, ethereal scales faintly visible at the corners of his eyes, the surging fire element around him becoming intensely active.

Tens of millions of people watched this scene via livestream, silently praying for Shao Zifeng.

Thud!

The deer’s slender limbs halted; its hooves rippled the void beneath them with water-like ripples, tilting its head to look at Shao Zifeng, a hint of joy flickering in its gaze.

The next moment, a set of claw marks suddenly appeared in the void behind them, out of which poured frantic fire elements.

Numerous metallic spears reflected a dim glint within the firelight, piercing through the flames erupting from the claw marks, their spiraling air currents dyed blood-red.

Just as the metallic spear was about to pass through the flames, another massive set of claw marks appeared in the void, two rugged claws tearing through the void directly, and within the flames appeared a pair of golden-red vertical pupils, angrily staring at the metallic spear and the distant Iron-eating Demon Beast.

"Roar!!"

A roar from the rift carried tremendous force, mixing with the sweeping flames to send the metallic spear hurtling away.

Swish!

The Space Rift widened, dark red dragon wings suddenly spreading out amidst the fire, wing bones adorned with dark red gemstones, tough membranes hinting at veins.

With a flap of its wings, the flames scattered like a meteor shower, a majestic dragon appeared above the skies of the imperial city.

After evolving, Qiuqiu was roughly over ten meters long, one size larger than a Poison Fire Flying Dragon of the same stage, now more closely resembling the dragons of legend, with menacing spikes trailing behind its head, two dark red horns emerging from between the spikes, its robust body filled with explosive power, and its wide wings representing swift grace.

Whoosh—

The fierce airstream tousled Shao Zifeng’s hair; he felt himself being embraced by powerful, giant claws, his cheek pressed against a warm, soft belly, familiar yet strong heartbeats thundering by his ear. He lifted his head and saw Qiuqiu looking down at him...

In his arms was Lingling.

Qiuqiu kept a stern face, displeasure apparent in its golden-red eyes.

Lingling looked at it, extending a tiny hand to greet it when suddenly Qiuqiu lifted one claw to catch its collar and tossed it toward the deer as if throwing out trash.

"Ahhh!"

The physically weak Lingling drifted with the wind, the deer swiftly... twining its tendrils around Lingling’s waist.

Lingling glared at Qiuqiu, which was hugging Shao Zifeng, "Ugly lizard, always trying to snatch Duke from me. Draw your sword, today either you die or I live! Ahhhh!"

Qiuqiu exhaled hot streams through its nostrils, giving Lingling a disdainful glance. It provocatively clasped Shao Zifeng with its claws, rubbing its rough face against him, eyes nearly squinting in contentment.

This infuriated Lingling, who yelled aloud, furiously kicking its little short legs.

The deer glanced at it, stretching the tendrils holding Lingling further away to avoid being kicked.

"Alright, alright." Shao Zifeng, tormented by Qiuqiu’s rubbing, pushed at its massive face with his hands, but his tiny frame couldn’t possibly stop Qiuqiu by force, finally he had to verbally intervene.

Qiuqiu suddenly halted, its massive head sharply turning towards the Iron-eating Demon Beast as countless metallic spears covered the sky, shooting their way.

"Ooh~"

After tossing Shao Zifeng onto his back, Qiuqiu cocked his head and nodded at him, his eyes ablaze with a fierce desire for battle.

Influenced by this emotion, Shao Zifeng recalled images of fighting together, and he shouted to the deer, "Deer, take them and leave first, leave this place to us."

After he spoke, he lay on Qiuqiu’s back, "Ah Qiu, go!"

"Roar!"

Qiuqiu responded excitedly, his wings covered in searing flames, suddenly flapped down.

Boom!

A circular air wave appeared behind him, and his body shot forth like an arrow released from a bow. During the flight, the scales on his body opened up, with gaps appearing as if magma flowed through them, rapidly gathering and compressing energy balls at his front.

Just as he was about to rush into the sky filled with metallic spears, his wings flapped down hard again, pulling upward and leaving behind only the highly compressed Purgatory Explosion.

Boom!

The blinding light once again dominated the live stream’s screen. Ding Gaozhuo, who had just caught his breath, nearly died on the spot, groaning in pain. But this time, no one cared about his condition; everyone watching the live stream was shocked by the scene they had just witnessed.

"Just now... what was that."

"It seemed like a giant dragon, and a fire dragon at that."

"Goodness, since when did we have such a powerful being in Great Xia?"

"Guys... do you remember the incident that happened in Binhai City a few months ago, the one that all the major media called ’the guardian’ poster?"

"Of course I remember, it’s my screensaver... wait, you mean..."

"Suddenly excited!!! The Red Dragon Duke is not a fictional character aaaaah!"

"What Red Dragon Duke, call him Lord Duke!"

"Lord Duke is awesome!! (voice breaks)"

Unaware of the online discussion, Shao Zifeng lay on Qiuqiu’s back, feeling the wind whip past him, filled with an indescribable sense of security.

Behind them, a huge red mushroom cloud blossomed, and molten metal spears rained down from it, creating a surreal beauty over the city ruins.

The Iron-eating Demon Beast, looking up at the flowing lights in the night sky, grew even more furious. Its armored giant claw stomped the ground, and it began to run with heavy steps, shattering the already cracked ground beneath its massive claws.

From a distance, Shao Zifeng watched the Iron-eating Demon Beast. Although he could not see its information clearly, if he remembered correctly, it was a mutant creature that greatly lacked range and leaned towards being a meat-shield warrior. If only Qiuqiu could maintain their distance...

Suddenly, his pupils shrank as he saw the Iron-eating Demon Beast run a distance and then suddenly rise up, letting out a roar.

Behind it, metal crazily converged, and a pair of metallic wings shimmering with a metallic luster materialized out of thin air.

The creature’s body slightly bent, and the steel wings behind it flapped; then, with a push of its legs, the ground beneath its giant claws collapsed, and a circular air wave swept in all directions.

It then shot into the sky like a cannonball with the help of its wings.

Upon seeing this, Shao Zifeng’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but curse loudly.

"Fuck!"
