Chapter 21: Goodbye, my princess
Thousands of black rays appeared, dense like rain, mercilessly attacking the Gothic Praetorian Guard.
The Gothic Praetorian Guards were not in a hurry, changing their formation quickly and orderly, and the wall shields in the back row changed to the front row, and a steel wall was built in the blink of an eye.
Easily shredding the black mangs of those mercenaries just now, after hitting this steel city wall, there was a strong explosion and vibration, but this wall still stood still. Only occasionally a few black rays happened to hit the same spot in succession, stabbing a small hole in the wall.
Sindra's face sank, the equipment possessed by the enemy in front of her had been enchanted by the masters, and it was impossible for her to clean them up like she had just cut the grass. The situation in the Black Dragon Valley was critical, and she wanted to retain her strength to save her people, but now it seemed that she had to change her strategy.
Because of the actions just now, the black qi on the obsidian saber in Sindra's hand was already very dim. The Gothic Praetorian Guard is slowly approaching, like a moving glacier, slow but unstoppable. She looked at the mortals, smiled coldly, and began to sing. Even though he was far away and knew nothing about magic, Li Xiang could feel an inexplicable fear from Sindra's chanting.
As Sindra's chanting ended, dozens of dark and deep black balls appeared above the Praetorian Guard's head, and the surrounding light was dimmed by these orbs, each of which could almost completely fit Li Xiang in.
"Raise your shield!"
The commander of the Praetorian Guard noticed the abnormality above his head and hurriedly gave the order, but in vain. Dozens of huge black balls fell suddenly, and the wall shield of the Praetorian Guard directly dissolved into the black ball without a sound, and the team of Praetorian Guards under the shield was swallowed up without even screaming. The people who were alive just now are now only stumps and broken limbs, and the aura of darkness attached to those limbs is constantly corroding and melting these limbs.
After the regiment had wiped out an entire group of Gothic Praetorian Guards, Sindra could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. After she fought against the sour rot python, her vitality has not recovered, and now she has been poisoned by humans and lost the support of the dragon's physique, and she has almost reached the limit by forcibly casting such a powerful spell.
Li Xiang settled Catherine, hurriedly ran up to inspect Sindra's situation, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Sindra's face was pale, and her wheezing was a little heavy, she shook her head to indicate that she was fine, and Li Xiang was relieved. Although Sindra is a dangerous person to him, now that Sindra is an important force to protect Catherine, Li Xiang does not want Sindra to have any accidents before Catherine is safe.
"I didn't expect a half-breed to have such a lot of lethality. A woman said quietly.
Li Xiang looked around vigilantly, and before he could find anything, Sindra pushed him away and said, "Go back and protect my princess!"
The air rippled with visible twists, and a woman wearing a bronze cloak and holding a staff appeared in front of Sindra. Although half of her face was covered by a hood, Li Xiang was sure that this woman was definitely beautiful from her delicate chin alone.
"You!who?" Sindra scrambled to her feet, staring warily at the mysterious woman in front of her.
"I heard that they were going to come to Black Dragon Valley to slay dragons, so I came by the way to join in the fun. The woman said lightly, with a bit of majesty and disdain in her voice.
"That's the enemy!" Sindra waved the obsidian sword in her hand, and a black light slashed at the woman.
The woman didn't avoid it, and said unhappily: "A mixed race, dare to do something to me!" Hei Mang obviously hit the woman, but he pierced directly like a remnant.
Li Xiang's eardrums were shaken by a sudden roar. The black light passed through the woman and flew towards a giant man behind her. The giant man did not avoid it, but let out a fierce battle roar, which directly shook the black mang. Li Xiang looked up and saw that this giant man was the person he had seen at the mouth of the Black Dragon Valley. He vaguely remembered that Lexa had said that the giant man's name was Hercules, and that he would go wherever there was a fight.
Li Xiang looked at Sindra worriedly, the strength of the mysterious woman who appeared just now was obviously not to be underestimated, and now there was another hard stubble, and the situation was not optimistic.
"Hercules, I haven't seen you for many days, and you've improved again. Maybe you'll be the first person in the Qiyao Continent to advance to the fifth level of Qingyan. A man with ginger hair walked over slowly.
Li Xiang remembered this person, "Black Crow" Odyssey, the most cunning mercenary in Lexa's mouth. Now it's okay, Sindra is already weak, and it's three to one, and Li Xiang must find a way to escape. He quietly picked up a normal longsword and tried to remember the time when he was on the ship and enchanted it. He remembered hoping he had enough strength to break through the cabin and allow the mother and daughter to escape. Strength, power...... Li Xiang clenched the long sword with both hands, and the golden light began to cover the sword body from the hilt, and it was done!
If Sindra fails, this sword will be Li Xiang's last reliance.
Everyone present saw Li Xiang's vision, and they all said "huh". The three mercenaries looked at Li Xiang with interest, there was no doubt that this was a Sino man. Odyssey asked, "Which side are you on?"
Li Xiangquan relied on the strength of his blood and replied, "I am on the side of the people I need to protect. As he spoke, he raised his sword toward the Odyssey, blocking the way to Catherine's side.
"I'm coming!" Hercules picked up two of the Janissaries' remaining battle axes, he was extremely large, and carried them as if he were holding two hand axes. Originally, he used a pair of fists to fight all over the world, but the weapon in Li Xiang's hand was obviously not ordinary, so he naturally didn't dare to hold it up.
Hercules slashed with a ferocious slash, the unique enchantment of the Praetorian Guard's weapon that made him covered in golden light, and the slash carried a suffocating wind that would cut Li Xiang in half.
Li Xiang can be said to have no combat skills and experience, seeing Hercules so fierce, his knees were weak and he almost fell to the ground, but he wanted to protect his woman, so he mustered all his courage and slashed diagonally upwards against Hercules's axe. When that sword was cut out, Li Xiang was ready to die.
Pure incandenation, Hercules only saw pure incandenation, and then the two battle axes in his hand were cut off by Qi Brush! Hercules looked at the axe head in his hand that was cut in half in amazement, and secretly glad that he did not face this Shino man with his bare hands.
Li Xiang trembled, not because he was afraid, but because he was extremely excited. It seemed that this sword had given Li Xiang supreme courage, and at this moment he felt that he could overcome anything, and asked with a pant: "Who else?!"
Odyssey smiled and said, "Interesting, I'll try it." As he spoke, he took out his weapon, which he used was an ordinary sword and shield.
Li Xiang didn't say a word, charged with his sword, and killed the Odyssey.
Whew! With a sword in the head, the momentum of Huashan is slashed.
The Odyssey was ready to meet the indestructible blade in Li Xiang's hand, but when he heard a loud noise, he saw that the long sword in Li Xiang's hand was shattered into powder, and the incandescent light also dissipated. Odyssey shook his head in disappointment, and threw a shield blow at Li Xiang's face, slapping him out.
Li Xiang fell heavily to the ground, rolled a dozen bones in a row, and just stopped beside Catherine. He tried to get up, and found that not only was his neck as if it was broken, but his whole body was also like a broken one, and he couldn't move.
Catherine looked worried, struggled to get up but found it in vain, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Li Xiang struggled to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying and said, "Yes, still alive." ”
After cleaning up Li Xiang, Odyssey turned to look at Sindra and said, "Three against one seems a little unfair. Ladies first, Medea, this dragonman is yours. ”
"What the crow will let out, I won't touch. The woman in the cloak said with a smile.
Odyssey shook his head, laughed it off, and said, "I'm afraid the person who can make you suffer is not born yet." In that case, I have something to say. Our target is the Black Dragon Clan, and if you choose to surrender, we can spare your life. ”
Sindra looked at the three mercenaries with disdain and said, "This is the territory of the Black Dragon, my home, the place I want to protect with my life. Also, no one in this world can make me surrender!"
As she spoke, Sindra swung her obsidian sword and threw a black glow at the trio. Medea still did not dodge, allowing the black light to pass through her body unharmed. Odyssey defused to twist his body, shifted his position, and dodged the attack. Hercules let out a war cry, and the fierce swing of the tomahawk simply shattered the black mang.
Sindra took advantage of the gap between the three of them to deal with her attack, and hurriedly backed away and dragged the distance, these three were not as stupid as the Praetorian Guard just now, they would stand and wait for her to cast a spell. She quickly formed a gesture and began to chant rapidly, and a raging black curtain appeared between her and the three of them.
Medea directly ignored what Sindra did, and made it clear that she wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits. Odyssey and Hercules were obscured from seeing each other, and they couldn't help but pause in action.
When Odyssey and Hercules carefully spared the dark curtain, they found that Sindra had broken thoughts in his mouth, and one black ball after another appeared in the air after the black curtain, but the orbs were not as big as when they had just cleaned up the Praetorian Guard.
"Not good!" Odyssey exclaimed, and the hundreds of black balls floating in the air blasted towards him and Hercules like cannonballs, and there was no way to dodge them.
Odyssey directly threw away his sword, raised the round shield with both hands, blocked in front of Hercules, and said, "Big man, hold on!" The latter nodded vigorously, and with a short body, he pressed against Odyssey with both palms.
The first black ball blasted over, not directly on the Odyssey's shield, but on a shield of light visible to the naked eye. Even with Hercules as his backing, the Odyssey was pushed back half a step.
Knock! knock...... Odyssey blocked left and right, embarrassed, and the two kept backing away. Occasionally, there were a few black balls that he couldn't block, and passing by them would burn them violently.
The Odyssey's solid shield finally shattered after hundreds of impacts, but there were still many black balls in the follow-up, and the two could only resign themselves to fate.
Suddenly, a bronze figure flashed in front of them, only a very short incantation was heard, Medea's arms were slightly open, the gem on the staff in her hand shimmered with a thick and ancient light like bronze sand, and hundreds of black balls passed directly through her body, unhindered at all, and continued to blast towards Odyssey and Hercules. Something magical happened, and the black ball passed through the two of them as well, but they were unharmed.
After everything calmed down, Medea said: "I have to admit that as a half-blood, you surprised me, but that's all!"
Sindra staggered, barely standing, let alone dodging. She looked at the oncoming deadly black ball, smiled indifferently, her hair flew wantonly, her pupils disappeared suddenly, and her eyes turned blood-red.
Those black balls hit Sindra without making a sound at all, and what was even more strange was that although Sindra was constantly repelled by the black balls, every time the black balls hit her, a layer of black gas would be added to Sindra's body. As more and more black balls hit Sindra, the black qi on her body became thicker and thicker.
Finally, the last black ball also hit Sindra. The bewitching and ghostly half-blood dragonman stopped, turned his head and looked at Catherine and Li Xiang with his pupilless eyes, his face with a gentleness and kindness that he had never felt before. She threw Li Xiang a scroll and said, "You know how to use it, take care of my princess!" and then smiled brightly at Catherine. "Goodbye, my princess. ”
Syndra brought up a strong wake and dragged a black gas, and instantly arrived in front of Medea, grabbed Medea's arms with both hands, and said proudly: "You can't hide now!"
"Run!" Odyssey exclaimed, beckoning Hercules to flee for his life.
A deep, eerie dark light burst out of Sindra's body, a darkness that even the light would swallow, seemingly slow, but rapidly expanding outward. Everywhere the shadows went, everything turned to powder and disappeared without a trace.
"Sindra!" Catherine cried out in grief.
Li Xiang didn't have time to think about it, and directly broke the scroll given by Sindra, and the familiar black shield opened again. Li Xiang gathered all the elements around him at the fastest speed in his life, and no matter what elements repelled him, he strengthened all of them to this shield.
Then, there was a violent impact and vibration......
