Chapter 568 - 462: The Fairy Dragon’s Specialty: The Dragon Tomb

In the war between humans and the foreign races, the Strongest would never take action before the final, decisive battle.

This was a fundamental rule for both sides.

But now, a human Strongest, the Fairy Dragon, had suddenly descended upon Ice City.

She descended straight onto the city walls in a streak of white light.

And before her stood the City Lord of Ice City, the White-faced King.

A scene like this, in truth, already made the purpose of the Fairy Dragon’s visit clear.

But that wasn’t the most crucial part...

The most crucial part was...

The Fairy Dragon, Bai Feixue, was no ordinary Strongest. She had another identity known only to a select few: she was the only human to have ever entered the ’Dragon Tomb’.

"This is bad. Something terrible is about to happen!" Sword Elder looked sharply at Li Tiannan, his eyes turning red. "Shouldn’t we call Elder Qin over right now? He’s the only one who can stop the Fairy Dragon!"

"I’m afraid... it’s too late!" Li Tiannan’s brow was also knitted tightly.

Meanwhile, gasps of shock erupted throughout Ice City.

Then, to everyone’s astonishment, the unthinkable happened.

After landing, the Fairy Dragon, Bai Feixue, gave the White-faced King a brief glance before striking without a hint of mercy.

BOOM!

A deafening roar.

With the Fairy Dragon at its epicenter, the city walls trembled and cracked as if a terrifying bomb had gone off.

"A Strongest?!" The White-faced King stood his ground.

His eyes went wide.

The spectacle of the Fairy Dragon’s descent was definitely beyond the power of a Tier Nine.

So, after seeing the Fairy Dragon attack him directly, he was momentarily stunned. Then, like a true warrior, he charged straight into the exploding shockwave.

Not only did he not dodge, but he even seemed somewhat excited.

’A Strongest is actually trying to kill me?’

’This is more than I could have ever hoped for!’

BANG!

The White-faced King was sent flying.

It wasn’t just him.

More than a dozen of the guards standing on the city walls were instantly obliterated by the blast.

It was a brutal scene.

But as the White-faced King tumbled through the air in freefall, a peculiar glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Because he hadn’t been killed instantly.

Not only was he not dead, he didn’t even feel like he was seriously injured.

At most...

it was just a flesh wound.

...

’My name is Blue Eyes.’

’I am the military advisor to the Lord City Lord, the White-faced King, and I’m at the Tier Eight Mid Stage. I entered this battle fully prepared to die to prove my resolve.’

’But what I didn’t expect was for an expert who seemed to be a Strongest to show up. And this Gao Neng even attacked me.’

’How lucky!’

’I get to die at the hands of a Strongest!’

’This way, it seems Ice City, which was doomed to fall... has been saved? Would you believe it? Lord White-faced King, can you believe it?’

’But why am I not dead?’

’When I charged forward, I deliberately didn’t defend myself. A Strongest should have been able to kill me with a single blow. So why am I still alive? And quite well, at that.’

’How strange.’

’Could it be... a fake?!’

Blue Eyes’ train of thought paused.

Because he had just hit the ground with a THUD.

"Not dead... Alive... And just a minor injury... Can you believe it?" Blue Eyes, completely dumbfounded, looked again toward the Fairy Dragon in the distance.

The white light was still blinding.

This was definitely the grand entrance of a Strongest.

The only problem was...

’This Strongest... doesn’t seem all that strong?’

’And strangest of all, her ’illusion’ looked a bit silly. She actually turned herself into a dragon. Doesn’t she know that dragons don’t even exist in this world?’

CRACK!

The Fairy Dragon’s gaze swept over her surroundings.

The rubble on the city wall crunched under her feet.

"Get out!" The furious roar shook the heavens.

In terms of sheer presence, the Fairy Dragon certainly seemed like a top-tier Strongest.

Not only had she sent a ’Tier Nine City Lord’ flying with a single strike, but she had also killed more than ten guards with the shockwave alone. Her entrance was nothing short of stunning.

But in reality...

Far away, the Eagle-eyed Man was in utter turmoil.

’What the hell is this White-faced King doing?! He sees a Strongest and doesn’t even run? He just fucking charges forward like a reckless idiot? Is he stupid?!’ The Eagle-eyed Man was truly dumbfounded.

This was completely unheard of!

He knew perfectly well that a blast of that magnitude could, at most, kill a few guards. It shouldn’t have caused any real harm to a Tier Nine expert.

’What do I do?!’

’Even an idiot like the White-faced King must be getting suspicious, right?’

’So, is the plan going to fail?’

’All because I ran into a reckless City Lord?’

The Eagle-eyed Man was extremely anxious.

Nevertheless, he subconsciously made the Fairy Dragon let out another furious roar.

"Get out!"

The roar was deafening.

He didn’t think it would do any good, though.

However, just as the Eagle-eyed Man thought it was useless, the sudden turn of events made Li Tiannan and Sword Elder’s blood run cold.

"She attacked!"

"The Fairy Dragon really attacked!"

"She forced back a Tier Nine foreign race City Lord in a single move!"

"And in front of an army of a hundred thousand, no less! This gives the foreign races the perfect excuse..."

From Li Tiannan and Sword Elder’s perspective, the Fairy Dragon had struck out, and the White-faced King had gone flying. As for how serious his injuries were, they were too far away to see clearly.

After all, their attention was focused mostly on the Fairy Dragon herself.

"Call Elder Qin!"

"We’re dead. That Fairy Dragon is really going to be the death of us this time!"

WHOOSH!

In the end, Li Tiannan sent the signal.

...

Meanwhile, below the walls of Ice City.

Blue Eyes, disguised as the White-faced King, kept his gaze fixed on the Fairy Dragon looking down from the wall.

’Telling me to get out?’ Blue Eyes’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t know if he should obey, but he felt that to really sell the story of a human Strongest attacking, he needed to be more seriously injured.

So, after a moment’s thought...

He surreptitiously struck himself in the chest.

SPLURT!

He violently coughed up a mouthful of blood.

In an instant, a blossom of red bloomed on the ground.

"Lord City Lord!"

"Lord City Lord!!!"

"It’s a Strongest! A Strongest is here!!"

Seeing the ’White-faced King’ spit blood, the foreign race guards were instantly enraged.

Their Lord City Lord had been seriously injured with a single blow.

If that wasn’t the work of a Strongest, what was?!

"Send the signal! The humans have... have broken the treaty!" After shouting, Blue Eyes forced himself to spit out another mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground, unmoving.

"..." The surrounding foreign race guards froze for a moment.

Then, they erupted.

"The Ice and Snow Race will fight to the death!"

WHOOSH!

The signal was fired.

In mid-air, icy mist condensed, forming several large words.

Human Strongest Heavily Injures White-faced King!

This was the signal.

It was simple, but the value of a signal lay in its ability to convey information.

The guards of Ice City firmly believed that as long as they held their ground to the death, their own Strongest would surely come to their aid.

Because this was no longer just their war.

...

Far away, the Eagle-eyed Man stared at the signal rising above Ice City.

’I succeeded?!’ The Eagle-eyed Man’s eyes widened. Just a few seconds ago, he had been ready to give up.

But now?

He had never expected that he would actually trick the foreign races into believing a Strongest had attacked.

This sudden success was overwhelming.

He wanted to take a drink to calm his nerves.

Of course, the most urgent task now was to have the ’Fairy Dragon’ fly away.

After all, if the foreign races’ Strongest really showed up, his little trick would be exposed.

But just as he was about to make the ’Fairy Dragon’ fly away, a figure suddenly shot out from the attacking army, flying toward the city like a streak of light.

The Eagle-eyed Man couldn’t help but notice this figure.

Because it was too fast!

Definitely above Tier Eight, possibly even reaching the strength of a Tier Nine.

But in reality, on the entire human front line, there was only one Tier Nine expert: Qin Jianfei. Of the other four, two were on the left and right flanks, and two were at the rear gate.

’Where did a sixth Tier Nine come from?’

The Eagle-eyed Man strained his eyes.

Soon, he got a clear look at the figure within the streak of light.

It was a young woman with silver-white hair, dressed in a black military uniform. Even so, he recognized her at a glance.

Because the young woman had a pair of deep blue eyes.

"The Cat King?!"

(There’s another Chapter coming later! Probably around two o’clock!)
