Chapter 542: Chapter 544 The Rear Guardian Chess Strategy
“Trivial Trick!” Master Chang Er disdainfully spat out those four words.
The Mountain King Dragon’s dragon horn was exceedingly unique, resembling a colossal ancient bell atop its head.
As the Mountain King Dragon shook its Ancient Bell Dragon Horn, the chimes carried a tremendous destructive force that dispersed, shattering the surrounding mineral mountains into dust.
The falling void space was also affected by the sound of the dragon horn bell, and gradually it lost its originally powerful binding force.
The Mountain King Dragon shook its head more rapidly, and the destructive power of the ancient bell dragon horn became even more terrifying. It felt as though numerous age-old sound beasts were rampaging recklessly in this area.
Unfortunately, no matter how the reckless trampling of the ancient bell sound waves collided, they could not break free from the dark domain arranged by the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.
Although it was still broad daylight, this range of mines was invisibly enshrouded in a layer of immense darkness, looking from the outside like a frightening black curtain or a terrifying void abyss ready to swallow everything here.
Even the Dragon Horn of the Ancient Bell could not escape the binding force of this power.
The majestic sound of the Dragon Horn of the Ancient Bell only bounced back and forth within a limited area, and before long, its power slowly dissipated.
Master Chang Er’s gaze was fixed firmly on Zhu Minglang, noticing that Zhu Minglang, too, was enveloped in a layer of mysterious mist, making it somewhat difficult to see his true face.
Until now, this Sect Master had still not seen clearly what the dragon behind Zhu Minglang really was, and naturally could not discern the true strength of his opponent.
In Chang Huan’s view, someone of this age could, at most, have a Cultivation Base of the Peak Monarch Level.
“Hehehe~~~~~~~~~”
Like laughter, the strange sound came from beside Chang Huan, who looked around but saw nothing in his vicinity.
“Dadada~~~”
At that moment, black substances like mud dripped down from above. Chang Huan suddenly realized something, and as he looked up, he saw a Killing Dragon hanging upside down like a bat from the dim air, its mouth agape, showing its bloodsucking Dragon Teeth. The black sticky substance was indeed its dragon saliva intentionally poured over the top of his head!
The Second Sect Master of the Rock Concealing Sect, Chang Huan, was startled.
But he remained composed, diving immediately into the Ancient Bell Dragon Horn.
The Mountain King Dragon also sensed this eerie visitor. It arched its body violently and rammed mercilessly towards the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon hanging upside down!
This collision shook the earth and mountains. Though it struck only towards the air above, it seemed as though it could punch a hole straight through the sky.
Yet, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon hanging upside down let out a mocking laugh, its body vanishing into thin air like a wisp of smoke.
“Crush it!!” Second Sect Master Chang Huan roared in rage.
The Mountain King Dragon could sense that the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon was hiding within the gloom. Since it couldn’t be found, it simply decided to crush everything here to bits!!
The Mountain King Dragon possessed immense strength; a casual swipe of its paw could bury an entire mineral vein, and a full-force stomp could grind mountains within a few miles into dust!
After a round of wild destruction, nearly every dark area had been struck by the Mountain King Dragon, but it still could not see the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon.
The Mountain King Dragon became furious, starting to roll on the ground. This rolling was like an avalanche of boulders, fiercely pouring into this narrow space, filling up all the dark areas, leaving the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon with nowhere to hide…
“Chang Huan, what are you and your dragon doing??” The Yanzang Master’s wife glared with wide eyes, her face filled with confusion and incomprehension.
It was like bullfighting, where the wild bull only sees a piece of red cloth and is provoked to smash it into pieces, not knowing that there’s nothing behind that red cloth.
The Mountain King Dragon was doing the same, chasing after someone else’s shadow, nothing but a black shadow, and even then, within a dark cage set up by someone else, splashing around at will without actually affecting the surroundings.
The Yanzang Master’s wife naturally did not know that the Mountain King Dragon and Chang Huan had fallen into the domain of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon. From the perspective of an outsider, the Mountain King Dragon was indistinguishable from a gigantic monkey king rolling around in place, looking very comical, especially since it was such a mighty and domineering mountain monarch!
“Hmph, I’ll kill these obstructive pieces of trash first.” The Yanzang Master’s wife’s gaze swept towards the Army Guards within this vein.
If all were to be slain, not one should be spared. The Yanzang Master’s wife despised dueling with someone playing with paltry tricks; her eyes turned to a brown color.
In this mineral-rich land, the rock quality was abundant, allowing the Yanzang Master to exert even stronger power.
Her gaze turned towards the higher mountain rocks, which suddenly began to shake, and alarming cracks appeared at the midsection of that mountain peak!
“Ga!!!!”
The mountain peak suddenly burst open at the waist, and countless rocks started tumbling down along the steep mountain slope.
Many Army Guards were smashed by these rocks into a bloody mess; of course, the most terrifying was the half of the mountain peak—if it were to come crashing down, it wouldn’t just be a heavy loss for the Army Guards, but those innocent miners would also be killed.
“How utterly vicious!” Zheng Yu said coldly.
This woman must know that her husband has fallen into a dark prison and cannot struggle free for the time being, so she intends to divert Zhu Minglang’s attention by slaughtering others!
These two individuals from the Rock Hiding Sect truly did not regard the civilians and army here as human beings!
“Brother Zhu, don’t worry, I have a method to cope with this,” Zheng Yu said to Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang glanced at Zheng Yu and saw his resolute gaze.
He had intended to have the Sword Spirit Dragon shatter the slowly tilting mountain peak, but if this poisonous woman was not dealt with, she would continue her massacre.
“Kill her the next time she casts a spell,” Zhu Minglang said to the Sword Spirit Dragon hidden in the shadows.
The Sword Spirit Dragon silently concealed itself on the other side of the Yanzang Master’s wife. Since the opponent also had a formidable cultivation base, a one-hit kill would require catching her off guard; the Sword Spirit Dragon quietly awaited the next opportunity.
“Chess Tactic—The Rear Guardian!” Zheng Yu’s eyes suddenly deepened, as if there was a wonderfully intricate chessboard in his eyes, arranged in the fashion of the stars!
Around the four thousand Army Guards, a gigantic phantom star chessboard immediately appeared!
Bright trails of stars connected all four thousand people together, like living pieces on the chessboard, being drawn to a position at the rear of the board, forming an impregnable chess formation defense at the rear flank!!
The phantom chessboard was vast; when shields were raised, they were as large as a dam. As the mountain peak came crashing down, it could be seen that the four thousand Army Guards stood firmly in place, not moving a hair, while the half of the mountain peak shattered upon this impact!!
Standing on the phantom chessboard, the soldiers were still panicked as the mountain fell, but the chess formation seemed to bestow courage upon them and drew them to their specified positions on the board, unleashing the astounding strength of the entire formation!
It was just an ordinary act of raising shields, yet it formed a dam-like stance, as if an army of thousands charging at them wouldn’t dream of crossing over!
