The king’s voice was casual and indifferent as well as his expression was bearish. However, Xie Feng and the others who had survived the battle against the Abyssal Dragon knew very well that this was actually all an act on his part and he was most likely striving to maintain his kingly aura and imperial bearing in front of his subordinates.
Only the few who survived the disastrous war against the Saint grade boss knew that in reality, the king had been fighting against his tears when the soldiers fell. Only they knew that in reality, this man who had bravely advanced to the battlefield actually appeared to have grown much older than he actually was when he saw his men lifeless on the ground.
"Man, just smile if you want to smile and cry if you want to cry. What’s all the fuss about?" Xie Feng shook his head as he spoke softly.
If you don’t even have the freedom to cry orugh, then what’s the point of living to begin with?
"Big brother Xie Feng, don’t say that." Xie Yao gently pped him on the arm as she said, "As a king and ruler, his life and the lives of others are fated to be different."
"Is that so?" Xie Feng didn’t seem to be too sure and looked at her doubtfully.
In the end, he shrugged his shoulders and looked at Long Bai.
"Now let’s see how this all ends...."
...
As the human soldiers and several hundred thousand lucky yers slowly stood up after receiving the blessing of Xie Yao’s skill, Long Bai was silent as he looked at the giant dragon that had its eyes closed.
Even after several seconds, the dragon continued to keep its eyes closed and not moving. However, Long Bai did not move from his ce and continued to stare at it.
"Brat, how much longer are you going to leave this old dragon waiting? Do you want my bones to waste away?" Finally, after a minute in silence, Long Bai barked angrily.
One second... Two seconds... Three seconds...
Five secondster, the two closed and motionless eyes of the Abyssal Dragon slowly opened and stared at the old dragon. The dragon snorted and the air from its nose blew Long Bai’s beard all over.
"Now that’s better." Long Bai was not angry and instead nodded in satisfaction.
"The dragon... The dragon didn’t die!"
"That damn monster still didn’t fall even after so much effort?!"
"How can that be possible?!"
...
The battlefield became chaotic and both yers and NPCs felt desperate when they saw the two giant golden eyes of the creature that had practically be a nightmare for them opening,
The Human Emperor Xuan Liuxian, who was flying in approaching from Eternal Wind City, also stopped in the sky and looked at the scene with wide eyes in shock.
"How can this be possible... How can this be possible... Hadn’t that beast died?" Xuan Liuxian could not believe his eyes... No, rather than not being able to believe what he was seeing, it was more urate to say that he didn’t want to believe it.
King Hu Yi, who was next to Xie Feng, was also shocked beyond words. However, he looked at Xie Yao and Xie Feng and shouted, "You two! What have you done?!"
How could the king not know that the culprits were right next to him? After all, he had listened to Xie Feng and Xie Yao’s exnation earlier. He knew perfectly well that as long as Xie Yao did not consider an existence her enemy, then she could literally revive anything.
However, the Abyssal Dragon was clearly an enemy they all had inmon! Why did she revive it then?! The king’s mind was in total chaos.
If the Abyssal Dragon went berserk here, then the massacre this time would be a million times worse than thest since there was no way to take the beast by surprise! In fact, it wouldn’t even be considered a battle to begin with; just one-sided ughter!
Xie Feng and Xie Yao did not respond to the king’s shout. They both looked straight ahead, waiting for what would happen next. In any case, neither of them had the power to change anything; even Xie Feng was at his weakest condition at this point, his HP had been cut in half as punishment for using a forbidden skill, his strongest attack skills were on cooldown, and Mu Wuying’s blessings had already run out... Literally, at this point, he was just a stronger yer who couldn’t even threaten a high level Immortal grade boss, let alone a Saint grade boss.
Under everyone’s gaze, the Abyssal Dragon slowly stood up. The ground beneath its feet shook fiercely, forcing everyone to retreat as the feet of every nearby soldier or yer wavered about to fall.
Long Bai also observed the scene closely. But unlike the fear and apprehension in the expressions of 99% of the people present, his face remained calm, peaceful as ake away from the mundane world; seemingly knowing what would happen next.
The Abyssal Dragon looked at everyone with its tworge golden eyes before its gazended on Xie Yao, who was a short distance away.
Xie Feng took a step forward with a frown, but his worries soon proved to be unnecessary.
ROAR!!!!!!!!
After staring at her for several seconds, the Abyssal Dragon raised its head to the sky and roared... It roared so, so loud that its throat seemed to break for a moment. However, the young dragon ignored that pain and continued to roar.
"That’s it, kid. Let it all out." Long Bai sighed softly.
One, two, three... The dragon roared and roared.
However, unlike its previous roars, these roars did not hurt anyone. The young dragon’s roars seemed to be full of anger, frustration, shame, thirst for vengeance... But mostly sadness and a lot, a lot of pain. Such a great pain that for a moment everyone was dumbfounded, trying to understand what was going on.
Silently, a tear slipped from the eyes of the young dragon and fell to the ground.
Even the strongest existences had their own stories to tell.
