Chapter 103

“Why was I so smart back then?”

However, Lu Li didn’t pinch for too long; he stopped after satisfying his craving.

“Bastard!” Rubbing her slightly reddened cheeks, Shangguan Wan’er ground her teeth. If the location and environment weren’t so inappropriate, she would have really liked to take a hard bite out of Lu Li.

Just a pity, seeing Lu Li’s hand raised intentionally or otherwise, Shangguan Wan’er wisely retracted her little fangs.

As long as there are green hills, there’s no need to worry about firewood! I don’t believe I’ll be bullied by you forever!

These two best friends really don’t learn their lesson! Seeing this, Lu Li laughed uncharitably, but then he threw a Stripping Technique at the corpses of the Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts.

As mutated beasts, perhaps he could obtain some special materials from them.

During their interaction, the Dark Magician Girl, Angewomon, and the River Styx Flower had already finished off all the emerging Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts.

As for the Eternal Crystal Orchid, she acted as a defensive screen, blocking attacks from any stragglers while incidentally eating a mouthful of dog food.

【Stripping successful, obtained Chaos Aura *1!】

【Chaos Aura: A special material produced only by Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts that have lived in the Dark Purgatory for a long Finish Finish Time, having absorbed dragon-kin aura, fierce beast aura, and the power of dimensional turbulence. Excessive absorption will lead to signs of chaos.】

“Chaos Aura?” Looking at the wisp of strange Chaos Aura in his hand, Lu Li couldn’t help but stroke his chin: “Seems interesting. Perhaps it can be used to craft Chaos Ritual Magic Cards.”

Although he could obtain suitable materials through his ability to rewrite and reorganize, since there were ready-made ones here, it saved him a lot of trouble.

“Hey, this material seems very special.” Shangguan Wan’er was also attracted by the Chaos Aura and leaned over to Lu Li’s side to look, a hint of curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.

“It is quite special.” Releasing a few more Stripping Techniques, the amount of Chaos Aura in Lu Li’s hand increased significantly: “However, it seems we can only get Chaos Aura from these Dragon-Grudge Fierce Beasts; the materials are a bit monotonous.”

Putting the Chaos Aura back into the Magic Card Editor, Lu Li teased: “What, not angry anymore?”

“Hmph! I’m a very magnanimous person; I’ll forgive you this Finish Finish Time.” Shangguan Wan’er ground her teeth, ultimately deciding to choose the path of least resistance, though she silently thought to herself that one day, she would ride on top of him and get her revenge.

“Is that so?” Seeing this, Lu Li once again pinched her chubby cheeks under Shangguan Wan’er’s hopeless gaze, only retracting his hand after a moment, feeling satisfied.

“Alright, it’s Finish Finish Time for us to move.” Ignoring Shangguan Wan’er’s eye-roll, Lu Li gave her a head-pat, then hugged her and had the Thunder Dragon Beast move out, with the other Magic Card spirits following closely behind.

“Don’t treat me like a child!” A slightly coquettish response from Shangguan Wan’er came from the distance where the Thunder Dragon Beast had disappeared.

Although Bo Bo Yunfei was just standing there, the aura emanating from him made her feel a wave of discomfort. This was a suppression of realm and strength, meaning the other party was very likely a Monarch-level Magic Card Master who surpassed her!

Besides that, there was another point: the Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts hovering around Bo Bo Yunfei, which was also a reason for Zi Yao's wariness.

"Never to return?" Hearing Zi Yao's words, the aura on Bo Bo Yunfei became even more arrogant, and he laughed loudly: "You'd better worry about your own safety first."

Beside Bo Bo Yunfei, a large number of Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts gathered together, far exceeding those Lu Li and the others had encountered, as if all the Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts in the Dark Purgatory were gathered here.

But the Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts, which should have attacked all living things, surprisingly did not attack Bo Bo Yunfei, but instead crawled behind him.

At the very front of these Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts, a strangely shaped Dragon-type Magic Card spirit also crawled on the ground. If one sensed carefully, one could see that this Magic Card spirit was entangled by countless tiny threads almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and the other ends of the threads were wrapped around each of the Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts.

[Magic Machine Puppet Dragon]

Race: Dragon Clan Modification

Quality: Perfect

Level: Seven-Star

Skills: Negation, Control, Destruction Magic Cannon, Pain Neglect

Clearly, these numerous Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts were controlled by this strangely appearing Magic Machine Puppet Dragon, which is why they did not launch an attack on Bo Bo Yunfei.

"But it doesn't matter. We will take back all the humiliation you gave our predecessors, and we'll start with you!" Speaking of this, the smile on Bo Bo Yunfei's face became even more arrogant, and the Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts behind him seemed to be infected by him, also letting out roars: "After dealing with you, it will be the others' turn!"

As his voice fell, these Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts, under Bo Bo Yunfei's command, roared and launched an attack on Zi Yao.

Facing the incoming Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts, Zi Yao threw out two more Magic Cards: the six-star perfect Flower Dragon and the six-star perfect Thorn Dragon. The appearance of two six-star perfect-level dragon species, plus the seven-star collection-level Earth Ring Dragon, meant Zi Yao barely blocked the momentum brought by this wave of numerous Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts, but a look of caution still flashed across her face; this battle was going to be troublesome.

"Flower Dragon, Sleep!"

"Thorn Dragon, Root Entanglement!"

"Earth Ring Dragon, Earth Purgatory!"

Roar!

Under Zi Yao's command, the three dragon-type Magic Card spirits erupted with aura once again, each using their skills to coordinate and launch a counterattack.

The first to act was the Flower Dragon. Amidst a roar, the flower buds on the Flower Dragon bloomed one after another, gorgeous and incomparable. But hidden beneath this appearance was a special hypnotic pollen capable of making irrational fierce beasts fall into a deep sleep.

The Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts charging at the front, after being contaminated by this special hypnotic pollen, suddenly fell into a deep sleep. The sudden stillness meant the following Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts couldn't brake or go around in Finish Finish Time, and they all crashed to the ground.

Immediately after, countless thorns broke through the ground, covering these fallen Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts with lightning speed, trapping them firmly on the earth. The Thorn Dragon cooperated with the Flower Dragon, and the two instantly completed the suppression of this wave of Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beast charges.

The final blow was the Earth Ring Dragon's Earth Purgatory. This move had triggered a "first-sight kill" even on the seven-star Magic Abyss Underworld Tiger back then. The Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts before them, which were weaker and completely controlled, were naturally wiped out in one wave.

Seeing this scene, Zi Yao's originally tense face couldn't help but relax a little. The coordination of that wave just now seemed easy, but that was only because Bo Bo Yunfei didn't know her Magic Card coordination. If she were to do it again, she might not be able to replicate it.

Clap, clap, clap!

Clapping sounds rang out. Even though this wave of Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts was wiped out, Bo Bo Yunfei didn't have any reaction or anger; instead, he clapped and praised: "As expected of one of the most outstanding Dragon-Taming Envoys of this generation in Dragon Valley. But the more outstanding you perform, the less likely I am to let you go."

"In my hands, there is more than just these cannon-fodder-level Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts that you killed."

As his voice fell, a sonic boom suddenly came from the sky. Several figures suddenly launched an attack from a very close distance, killing towards the Earth Ring Dragon and the other three dragon species from the shadows before Zi Yao could issue an order.

"Awoo!"

Facing these sudden attackers, even though they reached the six-star perfect level, the Flower Dragon and the Thorn Dragon couldn't even withstand a single move. They only had Finish Finish Time to let out a warning dragon roar before being killed in one hit by the sneak attackers, turning into Magic Cards and returning to Zi Yao's body.

As for the Earth Ring Dragon, its reaction was faster. Before the attack reached it, it had already released an Earth Shield to protect itself and Zi Yao, and it was not successfully sneak-attacked by the other party.

However, no matter how high the defense of the Earth Shield was, it was only a defensive skill temporarily activated by the Earth Ring Dragon. Under the crazy siege of several sneak attackers, the Earth Shield was quickly broken. Subsequently, the Earth Ring Dragon only had Finish Finish Time to release a buffer shield for Zi Yao before being severely injured and knocked to the ground by the sneak attackers, wailing.

"Damn it!" Although she was thrown away, Zi Yao was not injured because she had the protection of the shield released by the Earth Ring Dragon at the last moment. However, the original ease on the young girl's face had disappeared, replaced by self-blame and anger.

Compared to her sister Zi Yan, she was still a bit green. Not only did she fail to discover the hidden attackers, but she was also successfully sneak-attacked by them, causing the Flower Dragon and the Thorn Dragon to be killed in one hit. And now, the strongest combat power she held, the Earth Ring Dragon, was also severely injured.

Where Zi Yao's eyes could see, a huge claw wound had been torn on the Earth Ring Dragon's back, deep enough to see the bone, which was enough to show that the strength of the sneak attackers was by no means ordinary.

If it weren't for the Earth Ring Dragon's own extremely high defense, which could transfer part of the damage to the earth it stepped on, I'm afraid this blow would have almost pierced the entire Earth Ring Dragon from top to bottom.

However, even so, the Earth Ring Dragon, having suffered such a serious injury, had its aura and combat power reduced to a minimum. The claw wound contained a special corrosive force that constantly gnawed at the Earth Ring Dragon's physical strength, making this Magic Card spirit unable to even stand up again.

201. On How to Become a Qualified Villain

Roar!

A sound that was neither dragon nor beast rang out. Three sneak attackers also revealed their figures at this Finish Finish Time. Their appearance was very similar to the Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts, but their size was larger, and their aura was also a point stronger, completely not inferior to the Earth Ring Dragon.

The sneak attackers made a sound like victors. Their huge vertical pupils reflected the figures of Zi Yao and the Earth Ring Dragon, and a hint of greed and bloody desire flashed in their eyes. On these sneak attackers, there were also threads connected to the Magic Machine Puppet Dragon.

Clearly, even these stronger sneak attackers were unable to resist the control of the Magic Machine Puppet Dragon.

"Seven-star Dragon-Resentment Beast Hunter!" Looking at these sneak attackers, Zi Yao bit her lip, her face full of unwillingness.

It was because of her momentary relaxation and negligence that these Dragon-Resentment Beast Hunters successfully sneak-attacked. Otherwise, even if the other party launched a sneak attack, as long as the Earth Ring Dragon was given enough Finish Finish Time to defend, then even if they were also seven-star level, these Dragon-Resentment Beast Hunters wouldn't be able to succeed so easily.

Ga-ga! Roar!

Sensing Zi Yao's unwillingness, the Dragon-Resentment Beast Hunters seemed to have human nature, showing an expression like a mockery, combined with that weird, strange face, just like facing an alien, disgusting and incomparable.

However, immediately after, the three Dragon-Resentment Beast Hunters roared at the sky again. In Zi Yao's unbelievable gaze, a large number of Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts emerged again, surrounding her and the Earth Ring Dragon tightly.

What Zi Yao found most unacceptable was that among these emerging Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beasts, there were two more seven-star Dragon-Resentment Beast Hunters hidden among them!

In other words, even without the numerous six-star Dragon-Resentment Fierce Beast cannon fodder, she had to face the siege of five seven-star Dragon-Resentment Beast Hunters. At this moment, a feeling of despair filled Zi Yao's mind.

Even if she were in her peak state, it would be difficult to deal with so many seven-star enemies at the same Finish Finish Time, not to mention that her main Magic Card spirits were either dead or crippled.

If her sister Zi Yan were also here, there would be a chance to escape from this mortal situation. After all, with the speed of the Sky-Wing Dragon, even the Dragon-Resentment Beast Hunters might not be able to catch up.

She didn't expect that just an entrance trial for the Heavenly Mansion would turn into a journey to death, and the culprit of all this was still the mortal enemy of Dragon Valley, Long Ni.

"See that? This is the purgatory I prepared for you!" The despair on Zi Yao's face made Bo Bo Yunfei's expression become very pleasant, even faintly distorted: "Do you know how long I endured to see the desperate expressions of you hypocrites?"

"After dealing with you, the next one will be your sister!" Speaking of this, a hint of doubt and regret flashed across Bo Bo Yunfei's face: "It's a pity that you are the only one whose aura of Dragon Valley clansmen I sensed in the Dark Purgatory. In other words, your sister was eliminated in the assessment of the Trial Road. It seems that the freshmen recruited by the Heavenly Mansion this year are indeed a bit unusual."

"But it doesn't matter. No matter who eliminated your sister, as long as they come to the Dark Purgatory, there will be no chance to leave. Anyone who dares to disrupt my plan must die!" He was a Monarch-level Magic Card Master, and also one of the most potential Magic Card Masters in Long Ni, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent to perform this mission, even if his real age was two rounds older than Zi Yao's.

Long Ni was once a clansman of Dragon Valley. Losing the baptism of the Dragon Transformation Pool naturally brought a lot of influence to the talent of these Long Ni.

Thinking of this, Bo Bo Yunfei's face was full of anger. If he had received the baptism of the Dragon Transformation Pool, he should have been promoted to the King realm by now. How could he still be just a Monarch!

"The strength of the Heavenly Mansion is far from as simple as you think. Don't think about being able to touch my sister!" The originally desperate Zi Yao, hearing that Zi Yan had not been teleported to the Dark Purgatory, although surprised, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Hehe, you wouldn't think you'd be safe in the Heavenly Mansion, would you? Didn't you think about why I dared to make a move on the Trial Road?" Seeming to see through Zi Yao's thoughts, Bo Bo Yunfei mocked: "Even in the Heavenly Mansion, there are our people."

These Long Ni indeed had no way to enter the Heavenly Mansion, but it didn't say they couldn't cultivate pawns! Renshan, who teleported several people to the Dark Purgatory at the beginning, was one of the pawns brainwashed and cultivated by Long Ni!

Of course, Long Ni didn't have the ability to brainwash people from the Heavenly Mansion, but they could choose to cooperate. As long as they were human, they would have desires, and Long Ni valued exactly this point.

Just in case, even if they couldn't catch the two sisters Zi Yan and Zi Yao in one net this Finish Finish Time, Long Ni could still let the mole in the Heavenly Mansion make a move on Zi Yan!

Even if these moles were cleaned up by the Heavenly Mansion afterwards, Long Ni's goal had been achieved, and these moles would naturally lose their original value.

"Alright, I've said enough to you. It's Finish Finish Time to send you on your way." After venting well, Bo Bo Yunfei didn't intend to waste any more Finish Finish Time on Zi Yao. After dealing with her, he should leave here.

As for those Heavenly Mansion freshmen who were affected, the Dark Purgatory would make them understand the horror here! And they would absolutely never be able to leave here alive.

Roar!
