Dragon Tamer

Chapter 560: Chapter 562: Airspace Thunder Barrier
 

“`

A team with an average strength composed of Monarch Level warriors should have swept through most perilous and forbidden areas, but in this Absolute Valley, survival would likely be quite difficult.

Zhu Minglang had the Sword Spirit Dragon levitate behind him and recalled both the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon and the Refining Ash Black Dragon back into the Spirit Realm.

Afterward, he summoned the Nuwa Dragon and instructed it to closely follow himself, Nan Yuso, Hao Ye, and Zi Miaozhu among others.

By Nan Yuso’s side was the Chi Dragon. Although she had never encountered Mosquito Dragons before, the look on Zhu Minglang’s face told her that these creatures were extremely terrifying and not to be taken lightly.

“Buzzzzzzz~~~~~~~”

The noise from the Mosquito Dragons grew somewhat more distant; it seemed that they also held some reservations against the fully united group, particularly as amongst the team were some King Level Realm experts.

Engaging in actions like the one that devoured Ye Yangjian First was unwise for the swarm of Mosquito Dragons; even though they gained a King-level cultivation base as food, they also lost nearly a thousand of their own.

“It seems like they’ve gone,” the keen-eared person said.

“They’re probably just a bit farther away. Along the way, they will still be closely watching us, just waiting for our numbers to decrease further,” Zhu Minglang replied.

“Hopefully, we don’t lose anyone else going forward.”

“Stay vigilant.”

“Right, vigilant.”

…

This journey through the Absolute Valley left everyone on edge.

No matter how cautious they were, there were creatures within the Absolute Valley that defied common sense—stealthily killing, poisoning, snatching away, and devouring people…

Their numbers were reduced by approximately twenty or thirty people.

However, as the mist gradually cleared and the route remained correct, through a gap above the Absolute Valley, they could all see the signature Thunderwing Mountain Summit.

“I’m never coming down to this damned place again!” someone exclaimed.

“We haven’t even made it out yet.”

“Ugh, so many people died inexplicably…”

The world is filled with strange dangers, weird and terrifying. Regardless of one’s cultivation realm, one can never be too careful. Whether the World Dragon Gate has influenced the Absolute Ridges and Valleys, or this place is inherently a land filled with malevolent forces, all these masters from various powers feel helplessly out of control; in smaller nations, their Monarch Level cultivation would allow them to run rampant, yet here they might as well be no different from the foot soldiers on a battlefield.

However, combating other races has always been the most dangerous of tasks; after all, those who pose a threat to the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent often possess terrifying abilities.

“Over there are traces left by the Giant Ridge Generals from before. If we follow the road they took, couldn’t we directly reach Absolute Ridge Chengbang?” a Talisman Master said.

“`

“Several of the Giant Ridge Generals managed to escape. People from Absolute Ridge Chengbang must now be aware we planned to circle around through Absolute Valley to their rear. If we rashly follow the path they took, we might walk into an ambush. It’s better to find a new route, and when we reach the enemy’s rear, we should adopt a wait-and-see approach and try to restrain them,” Zhu Minglang shook his head as he spoke.

Although the paths through the cloud-covered Absolute Valley are complex and following the footprints of the Giant Ridge Generals could indeed perfectly lead to the rear of the Chengbang, the people of Absolute Ridge Chengbang are not fools—surely, they would guard against unknown intruders, right?

“Doesn’t that mean our plan to circumvent them has essentially failed?” the black-bearded Talisman Master asked.

“Not necessarily. Our role is to distract, keeping Absolute Ridge Chengbang constantly on alert and expending energy to watch for us. Otherwise, in the frontal battlefield, they could rely on the Silver Ridge City Wall to press down hard on our Supreme Court Continent Army, and we would suffer tremendous losses,” Zhao ChiShun of the Royal Family said.

This Zhao ChiShun, a border commander of the Royal Family, also understood the absolute mountainous advantage Absolute Ridge Chengbang held.

Moreover, having just clashed with the Giant Ridge Generals, he now dared not underestimate Absolute Ridge Chengbang.

“Let’s head to that mountain summit. We can circle around to the rear of Absolute Ridge Chengbang from the waist of Thunderwing Mountain, and the view there is relatively open, allowing us to observe well and choose the right moment to attack,” Wang Beiyu of the Purple Sect Clan, suggested.

After some discussion, the group gave up the path taken by the Giant Ridge Generals and chose a route leading to the top of Thunderwing Mountain.

The mist gradually dissipated, and with someone skilled in finding the way, they discovered a river cave formed by the melting ice and snow. Walking through this cave, they could enter the foot of Thunderwing Mountain.

Free from Absolute Valley, the gloom in their hearts also dissipated by much. Inside Absolute Valley was indeed too astonishing, especially considering the terrifying Mosquito Dragons following close behind them…

Climbing along the mountain ridge towards higher ground, every once in a while, the sound of muffled thunder would resonate overhead. Just as everyone had reached midway up the mountain, the heavens and earth suddenly became dazzlingly bright. The blinding light, like an immense energy spill, painted the contiguous mountain ridges and the boundless sea of clouds an extraordinarily stunning silvery purple!

“This area is probably a thunderstorm zone. Let’s find a safe place to set up camp,” Wang Beiyu of the Purple Sect Clan said.

“Over there seems good. The lightning shouldn’t strike, and from there, we can see the battle situation of Absolute Ridge Chengbang,” said Zhao ChiShun, the martial general of the Royal Family.

They arrived at the mountainside, facing south, where there was an outcropping and tall, dense fir trees grew, offering good cover.

Standing on the edge of the mountain, Zhu Minglang looked towards Absolute Ridge Chengbang. The battle had already started; he could see figures as large as towers standing within the silvery Chengbang, casting giant boulders down towards the base of the State Wall…

In mid-air, many Giant Dragons and Azure Dragons hovered near the Silver Ridge City Wall, but the rolling thunderclouds above stopped these Dragon Beast legions from flying too high.

The rolling thunder in the sea of clouds seemed like a barrier in the sky, blocking all the aerial forces of the Li Chuan Army. They couldn’t pass over the Silver Ridge State Wall and could only provide cover for the ground troops assaulting the wall!

The sounds of roars, battle cries, and collisions rose and fell intermittently, thunder rumbling so loud that it felt like people might lose their hearing.

The army was already storming the city, and the situation was extremely brutal. From afar, they could see the silvery mountain ridges smeared with fresh red.

The number of Giant Ridge Generals inside Absolute Ridge Chengbang was even greater than expected, and in the Chengbang, not only were there Giant Ridge Generals, but also Demon Dragons, whose sizes rivaled that of a castle.

These Giant Ridge Demon Dragons had even more terrifying destructive power. They battled the Dragon Shepherds of Li Chuan mid-air, fighting ten at a time. Zhu Minglang saw the Red Dragon Valley team, which was surrounding a Giant Ridge Demon Dragon. Yet, one by one, their Red Dragons fell.

Zhu Minglang also spotted Li Yunzi’s Flying Dragon Battalion. They were fighting on the city walls of the Chengbang. This elite unit of Li Chuan, with a strength of ten thousand, could be considered the main force of the two hundred thousand-strong army of Li Chuan. The Flying Dragon Battalion was the first to breach the city walls, fighting bitterly on the silver, snow-covered ramparts against the Giant Ridge Generals.
