"Let's go." Rocky yanked Flint back to reality, as he had been frozen in shock. Together, they leapt onto the back of the massive ancient spiritual beast.
Then, the four wings of the ancient spiritual beast began to flap, causing waves of dust to ripple outward several dozen feet high. The entirety of the Wal City was engulfed in the strong winds, with sand and stone whirling everywhere.
The soldiers and spirit manipulators present felt as if they were caught in a strong storm, unable to even stand steadily. Some were even swept away by the violent gusts of wind!
In a matter of moments, the entire city fell into a state of chaos.
Flapping its massive wings, the ancient spiritual beast flew over the Wal City with Rocky and Flint on its back. The citizens below watched with mouths wide open as the huge shadow of the beast danced over the buildings. To Rocky and Flint, however, the people below looked like tiny black ants.
Just then, Ken flew over with Robin. They too landed on the back of the ancient spiritual beast.
"What are you waiting for? Go get them!" the peerless master barked. He knew that if he let them get away, there was no way he'd be able to explain this to the acting emperor.
Then, the peerless master summoned a five-star war dragon of the fifth grade. After mounting it, he chased after the ancient spiritual beast. More war dragons of three or four star level were summoned as the other spirit manipulators joined in pursuit. Soon, more than ten war dragons filled the skies, each one chasing after the ancient spiritual beast in the distance.
Rocky's eyes narrowed as he realized what was happening. "You ride on Ken first," he said to Flint.
Hearing Rocky's words, Flint shot a glance at Rocky. Although he still didn't recognize who this guy was, he obeyed Rocky without the slightest hesitation. In a heartbeat, he leapt and mounted the dragon next to him.
Once Flint was settled, Rocky sent Robin back to the Magic Spiritual Space. Then, he instructed Ken to take Flint away from the ancient spiritual beast. Lastly, he asked the ancient spiritual beast to turn around and face the swarm of dragons that were steadily closing in on them.
"Maybe I could take this as an opportunity to give Alston a gift," Rocky said with a devious smile. "I'm sure he'll be happy to receive it..."
As he spoke, t
cky was wracking his brains trying to figure out a solution, the spirit manipulators had closed the distance and began to encircle them. Dozens of dragon shadows filled the skies.
"Ha-ha, boy, you can't escape. Our reinforcements are nearly here." Seeing the dragon shadows headed towards them, the peerless master laughed triumphantly.
Rocky's expression hardened. Seeing that there was no other way around it, he decided to break out of the encirclement by force.
However, before Rocky could even make a move, a crimson dragon beast rushed over suddenly. Unexpectedly, it opened its mouth and spurted a fierce flame towards the war dragon of the Divine Stage master, forcing the war dragon to dodge sideways quickly.
When the peerless master recovered, his expression froze immediately.
Then, Rocky realized that the crimson dragon beast didn't come alone. Dozens of dragon shadows had flown over with the crimson dragon beast, facing off with the spirit manipulators and their war dragons. Chaos broke out in the skies as spurts of fire were shot out back and forth.
Squinting, Rocky finally recognized the familiar figure riding on the crimson dragon beast.
"Mia?" Rocky cried out in surprise.
"General Marcia asked me to bring people to support you. Hurry up and go. We'll take care of this place." Mia shot a strange glance at Rocky, her expression unreadable.
"Thank you." Rocky didn't say anything more. He waved at Mia and asked Ken to proceed at full speed. Leaving the fierce air battle behind them, they headed straight to the Ximen Clan.
