Chapter 233 - Fang Lan, The Black Dragon.
After Ling Lei flew out the sixth floor of the Sky Martial Treasure Pavillon building, the others quickly followed him as well. Except for Ling Bing, Ling Shen, Ling Rui, Hu'er, and the young beautiful attendant, everyone else left.
While Fang Lan was going to fight to the death with Demon King Ning and his subordinates, Ling Shen and the other girls chose to stay to continue their shopping.
One might think that they didn't care about Fang Lan for not leaving with the others to support him. However, it was the complete opposite.
They had absolute trust and confidence in him which was why they didn't even bother to follow him and stayed instead.
As Ling Lei and the others flew out of the Sky Martial Treasure Pavillon building and were headed outside the city wall, they suddenly attracted the attention of the spectators that were already rushing towards the Sky Martial Treasure Pavillon to watch the show.
"What the hell! Isn't that the fourth prince and the young miss of the Gu family?" Blurted out a young man as he was looking at the bloody fourth prince and the young miss of the Gu family that was being carried away by Ling Zheng's gravitational power with a shocking expression on his face.
Upon hearing the young man's words, everyone shifted their gaze towards the direction where he was pointing with his finger. In the next second, they all had their mouth wide open from shock.
"Holy shit! It's them. What the heck happened to them?" Asked another person with a shocking expression on his face. Almost everyone was in disbelief while watching such a scene
"Who the hell are these red-haired people?"
After taking a good look at Ling Lei and the other little devils, someone who had witnessed the shocking battle that took place above the sky of Black Iron City instantly recognized them and said in a quivering voice: "Isn't that… the Red Devils?"
How could he forget the faces of those devils? To this day, he still has nightmares from this event. These people were simply a group of devils.
Many people became astonished and gasped upon hearing this. Some of them were even frozen on the spot and forgot that they were currently in the middle of a busy street with carriages going up and down.
Who in the Sun Demi-God Domain didn't know about the Red Devils and their deeds? This was a name that resounded like thunder throughout the whole Sun Demi-God Domain and the rest of the Heaven Suppression Region.
Though many of them didn't personally witness the battle in Black Iron City, they were still aware of how terrifying and frightening those red devils were. As for the ones that had witnessed the battle, just recalling it gave them a chill inside.
When did they get here?
What the hell are they doing here?
Did the fourth Prince and the young miss of the Gu family offend them?"
At this moment, many questions were buzzing out like mosquitoes within the minds of everyone present. However, none of them were able to come up with good and reliable answers. Meanwhile, uneasiness spread among them.
Seeing this, they then quickly followed them to figure out what's going on.
Meanwhile, the Sun Demi-God stood atop of the highest floor of the Fire Phoenix Palace while looking at the scene from afar with an ugly expression on her face.
At the same time, she didn't dare to make move. She could feel Ling Chen's cold and murderous gaze lock onto her like an ancient beast.
If she were to interfere in this matter, she's afraid that Ling Chen would not sit still and their relationship might further worsen which was something she didn't want to see.
Though she wasn't there when everything happened, she already knew everything as her disciple had already explained everything to her via voice transmission.
Just thinking about what happened, the Sun Demi-God couldn't help but curse the arrogant nephew of hers as well as her stupid overprotective brother.
...
In the sky outside Fire Phoenix City, Fang Lan stood straight like a javelin with Ling Lei, Ling Wei, and Ling Zheng behind him.
As for the fourth prince and the young miss of the Gu family, they were imprisoned by Ling Zheng's gravitational power and were unable to move a finger while hovering next to Ling Zheng.
Opposite them were Demon King Ning along with his dozens of golden armored guards. The manager of the Sky Martial Treasure Pavillon including the middle-aged man from the Gu family was there as well.
They were all looking at the group of people ahead of them with a hint of fear in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Demon King Ning's line of sight was fixated on Fang Lan, studying him carefully from head to toe.
While looking, his eyes flashed a hint of suspicion.
Before, he had full confidence that he could easily defeat Fang Lan who was a 4th Tribulation Martial Saint with his peak 9th Tribulation Martial Saint. However, after remembering that he had participated in the battle of Iron City along with the Red Devils, he became very suspicious.
For a moment, a lot of doubts and ideas flashed across the mind of Demon King Ning.
"We don't have all day, are you ready?" Nonchalantly asked Fang Lan who was looking at Demon King Ning who was studying him.
Demon King Ning felt Fang Lan's cold and indifferent tone of voice, and indescribable anger gushed up inside him. He couldn't believe he was being looked down upon by a puny 4th Tribulation Martial Saint.
Nonetheless, he didn't dare to act blindly. He could feel that Fang Lan was hiding something dangerous within his body, but he couldn't tell what exactly.
Feeling uncertain, he held back the thought of personally fighting. They already said that he could use all of his subordinates, might as well make use of them. It's better to be safe than sorry.
"Golden Sun imperial guards, heed my order and show him what you made of." Demon King Ning coldly smiled as he ordered his dozens of golden armored guards to attack Fang Lan.
"It seems that you are looking down upon me." Coldly uttered Fang Lan upon seeing Demon King Ning ordered his subordinates who were mostly low-level Martial Saints to attack him instead of doing it himself.
Swoosh!
As Fang Lan's voice faded away, a thick dark true qi energy gushed out from his body like a tidal wave and enveloped his entire body.
Upon seeing this, Ling Lei and the others quickly fell back with a demonic smile on their faces as they uttered." It seems like brother Fang is about to go all out."
In the blink of an eye, the black true qi energy turned into a black demonic cloud and had blotted out half of the sky.
The black demonic energy completely shrouded the skies as it continued to spread out while nearly covering the entire sky. The sky darkened greatly, nearly turning into the night.
It was unknown just how many kilometers it covered, one could not see the end of it. It was as if this world had entered into the apocalypse. People felt as if a black blanket was thrown over them.
Whether it was Demon King Ning and the people watching the event from the city, none of them were able to see Fang Lan's figure as he was surrounded by an endless black cloud.
"What the heck is that black cloud? It gives me the chills. Where is the young man?
While Demon King Ning including the people watching in the city was trying to figure what happened.
"Roar~~~"
Suddenly, a terrifying dragon roar resounded from within the black cloud that covered the sky
At the same time, the endless demonic energy that covered the sky was receding at an amazing speed like a tidal wave. It was as though it was being swallowed by something.
In a blink of an eye, all the demonic energy that covered the sky suddenly disappeared, and what took its place was a giant beast.
The giant beast was so big that it looked as though a huge mountain range was hovering in the sky.
The beast was completely black and its scales seemed to be made from black metal, reflecting the sunlight.
It had four sturdy legs and Its five claws were extremely sharp with a flashing glint, capable of cutting through everything.
It had a pair of pitch-black bat wings and a pair of horns that radiated sharpness.
Its three eyes emitted a dark and profound light as if it came from the depths of hell. Anyone would be frightened by its glare, including the most powerful Martial Saint.
Its terrifying gaze seemed as though it could send a peak Martial Venerable's soul straight to the heavens.
The giant beast emitted a terrible and savage aura just like a typhoon that could instantly destroy someone with its palpable presence.
Even a peak Martial Saint would tremble in the presence of such being.
"A Black Dragon!" One of the spectators was frightened and screamed in horror upon seeing the appearance of the giant beast.
The weaker spectators were frozen on the spot.
Even the big shots became pale as they were looking at the giant black beast in the sky.
Not to mention Demon King Ning, even the Sun Demi-God was also astonished when she saw the giant black dragon in the sky.
