Gate of God

It was extraordinarily fast.

The dragon claw extended by Candle Dragon reached Chi Guyan in an instant, as if it was able to twist space.

Boom!

The dragon claw collided with the Traceless Sword.

Without any mishaps, Chi Guyan’s body flew back like a meteor and her face turned pale immediately.

“Why didn’t she dodge?” Qian Yu was extremely shocked when she saw this.

That was because based on her impression of Chi Guyan, she was definitely not someone who behaved so carelessly. Although the Candle Dragon’s strike was very fast, if Ping Yang was Chi Guyan, she would still have the chance to dodge.

Yet, Chi Guyan did not dodge.

Instead of dodging, she went straight up to the claw.

Spat! Chi Guyan spat out a mouthful of bloody mist and she looked extremely pale. Her body dropped down as though she had fainted.

“Hmph, you can’t even survive one strike!” The Candle Dragon snorted coldly.

Qian Yu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. As the Tower Master of the Ling Yun Tower, she could not bear to watch the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower sacrifice their lives for her. Moreover, she could tolerate how Chi Guyan was injured by the Candle Dragon in order to let her leave first.

She could not do that.

Even if someone was to die, she would rather be the first person to die.

“Chi Guyan, since you call me “Auntie”, then Auntie would definitely not leave you in the lurch!” Qian Yu began to move and a silver radiance rose on the top of her head.

She held on tightly to the two silver swords and the eight moons shone extremely brightly on her head.

“You are merely an ant.” The Candle Dragon looked at the eight moons on Qian Yu’s head. Unlike Chi Guyan, he did not even intend to look at it for a while longer.

He did not even bother attacking Qian Yu again.

He merely allows the thick black clouds to press down on his opponents.

It was a type of arrogance that was inborn in her. Or rather, an arrogance that made him look down on others as, after all, to him, Qian Yu was not capable enough for him to use his claw.

However, at this moment, there was a turn of event.

Chi Guyan who had fainted on the ground suddenly opened her eyes when she landed on the ground. Then, she made a dramatic turn.

Crack! Her feet stomped on the ground.

The powerful stress broke the tiny stones on the ground.

Meanwhile, Chi Guyan made use of this stomp to make contact with the ground with her body and hugged Qian Yu before she charged forward to court death.

“Let’s go!” Chi Guyan used her foot to push off the ground as she hugged Qian Yu and immediately reached an ultimate speed.

Qian Yu’s expression changed.

Although Chi Guyan only said two words, she had figured out everything. Chi Guyan did not faint because of the Candle Dragon’s attack.

That could only mean that…

Chi Guyan did everything on purpose.

She purposely fought with the Candle Dragon, paid the price with her injury so as to flee with Qian Yu when the Candle Dragon was distracted.

“What a smart tactic!” Qian Yu was astonished.

In reality, Chi Guyan’s sacrificial move was not very impressive and could be said to be very risky.

That was because if the Candle Dragon did not believe that Chi Guyan had fainted, then whatever Chi Guyan had done would put her in an extremely dangerous position.

After all, with her injury, she would definitely die if the Candle Dragon gave her another strike.

However, as what was described earlier on, Qian Yu knew that Chi Guyan would not act abruptly. Therefore, the only explanation would be that Chi Guyan was fully confident when she made that decision.

the Candle Dragon’s arrogance immediately?

Then, she made use of his arrogance to deduce that he would definitely not make a second strike?

What a terrifying state of mind.

Moreover, she was facing a powerful monster like the Candle Dragon. With such pressure, she could still remain calm and composed.

Qian Yu was really astonished.

That was because she knew very well that facing such great pressure, she had already lost control and her composure and was almost ready to die.

Calm.

She had to remain calm.

If Chi Guyan could do it, me too!

Qian Yu did not realize that apart from an extremely accurate judgment, another important point was to allow her to regain “consciousness”.

“Retreat!” Qian Yu’s made her judgment.

The disciples of the Ling Yun Tower who were in the process of attacking were stunned for a moment. When they saw Chi Guyan save Qian Yu, they stopped in their footsteps.

Without hesitation, they retreated to all directions.

“Trying to flee?! Block them!” Monster Emperor Baizhi did not like the Candle Dragon but no matter what, he was still the ancient beast of the Monster Race.

Moreover, the Candle Dragon was powerful, very powerful.

If the Candle Dragon did not appear at the correct moment, the Gate of God of the Monster Realm would probably have been forcefully closed by Chi Guyan. That would greatly destroy her initial plan.

Therefore, regardless of whether she was willing to or not, she needed to cooperate with the Candle Dragon and hold back Chi Guyan, Qian Yu and the rest.

“Attack!”

“Don’t let them flee!”

“Kill them!”

The Monster troop roared when they heard Monster Emperor Baizhi’s commands and charged towards the disciple of the Ling Yun Tower.

However, a figure was much faster than them.

Candle Dragon!

His gigantic frame accompanied by the swirling thick black clouds reached Chi Guyan and Qian Yu immediately and his gigantic body covered the entire sky.

“Roar!” A furious roar echoed through the forest.

The Candle Dragon was frustrated. He was arrogant and “calmness” never ever matched his character. Not only did it not match his character, but he was never ever calm before.

He was an ancient beast.

He was a real God.

The Candle Dragon’s status was extremely superior and precious and could be said to be the ultimate of all ancient beasts.

However, the two words ‘Candle Dragon’ represented hell, death and bloody massacres. The reason for that was none other than his personality, violence, and cruelty.

Crack! The four dragon claws of the Candle Dragon stepped on the ground and cracks expanded beneath his feet. Broken stones flew in the sky.

As a superior God, how could he tolerate mocking by a human?

“You dare to play around with me, the God?! Brat, I will tear you apart and swallow you in bites!” The Candle Dragon opened his mouth and his fangs glowed in blue.

“You can be called a God? Aren’t you just a son of a bitch who loves to massacre?” Chi Guyan stopped moving but frowned very hard.

The Candle Dragon was too powerful.

Moreover, his speed was extraordinary.

Even though she had made her accurate judgment about the Candle Dragon’s personality and found the opportunity to escape, the difference in their skill level was too huge.

“Did you call me a son of a bitch?!” The Candle Dragon growled and the closed eye on his forehead suddenly opened. It was a black hole with swirls.

It was pitch dark and had no light.

It felt as if it was an abyss in hell.

At that moment, the brightness of the world seemed to be swallowed completely and the entire world turned dark as though the day had become the night.

Candle Dragon, the legendary God of the Mountain Zhong.

He could change the time of the day.

“Chi Guyan, leave quickly, I will deal with this monster. Please, I am begging you!” Qian Yu escaped from Chi Guyan’s arms and stood in front of her immediately.

She had already realized that the Candle Dragon was not a Godly State Expert.

He was a real God.

“Auntie, do you believe me?” Chi Guyan did not answer Qian Yu. Instead, she took a step forward slowly as he took a glance at the opened eye of the Candle Dragon.

“What?” Qian Yu did not understand.

“If you trust me, please leave. If I stayed, the Ling Yun Tower and yourself can live, but if you stay… everyone has to die,” Chi Guyan said calmly.

“If I stay… everyone has to die…” Qian Yu’s expression changed and repeated what Chi Guyan said.

That’s right!

Even if she refused to admit it, Chi Guyan was saying the truth.

Her skill level was not sufficient to hold the Candle Dragon back. In fact, it would drag the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower down.

Only Chi Guyan can fight with this monster, thereby giving time for Qian Yu and the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower to escape.

“Auntie, please leave,” said Chi Guyan calmly.

“I… got it!” Qian Yu bit her lips so hard that it started bleeding. She knew that to humans, Chi Guyan’s value was much higher than hers.

If possible, she really wanted to sacrifice herself to save Chi Guyan and the hope of humankind. However, she did not have the ability to protect Chi Guyan.

She had no choice.

That was because the death of one was definitely more worth it than the death of all.

“None of you can leave, die, all of you!” The Candle Dragon began to move. The thick black clouds spread out and were much more aggressive than earlier on.

Qian Yu, on the other hand, made a shocking discovery.

The Candle Dragon’s pitch dark eye that looked like a swirl was no longer black. Instead, there was a silvery-white crescent moon.

He could change the sun and the moon?!

No, he was basically swallowing them.

Qian Yu also had the radiance of the moon and therefore understood how it worked. However, she knew that the Eight moons on her head were completely different from the crescent moon in the Candle Dragon’s eye.

“Guyan, you have to stay alive!” Without hesitation, Qian Yu turned and fled because the Candle Dragon had already begun to attack and the black clouds were about to cover the entire mountain.

She was also aware that once the thick black clouds covered the entire peak of the Heaven Zen Mountain, it would be impossible for her to escape and she would definitely die.

“Son of a bitch, your opponent is me!” Chi Guyan smiled as she saw Qian Yu turn and flew. Then, she turned her gaze towards the Candle Dragon.

Five-colored radiance shone in the sky.

A gigantic shadow appeared behind her and covered her entire body instantly. A long tail covered in scales and radiance swayed on the ground.

Then, Chi Guyan dashed forward.

She did not give any greetings as she did not bother about those when she was fighting against enemies.

A purple radiance shone.

Her long black snake tail fell from the waist of her human body. Even in the dark, Chi Guyan’s arrogance and superiority lit up the environment.

“Erm?!” The Candle Dragon’s expression changed as the aura that Chi Guyan emitted gave him a familiar feel.

This familiarity did not stop him as he was extremely furious. His extended his dragon claw once again in the thick black clouds.

He used one strike to tear open space.

He appeared right in front of Chi Guyan.

However, this time, the claw did not hit Chi Guyan. It brushed past her shoulder and left a mark of torn space behind her.

Meanwhile, Chi Guyan’s sword struck.

It was a sword that struck vertically from the top.

Countless purple radiance turned into sword radiance, landing from the sky and accumulating on the Candle Dragon’s head.

It was as though the countless small purple swords accumulated to form a gigantic crystal-clear sword that landed from the sky into the Candle Dragon’s eye on his forehead.

Roar! The Candle Dragon roared.

The crescent moon in his opened eye emitted light. The thick clouds accumulated above his head, giving an illusion as though there was a bright moon shining in a gloomy sky.

The gigantic sword struck.

It struck the thick clouds directly.

Then…

It disappeared.

After that, the crescent moon emitted a silvery-white radiance that penetrated the thick black clouds. It shot up towards the sky vertically from the ground.

Boom! A thunderous boom was heard.

In the dark night sky, a figure appeared amongst the purple sword radiance. Meanwhile, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

However, the figure merely appeared for a split second.

It soon disappeared into the sky and turned into a “silver river” that flashed across the sky. The spots of radiance twinkled in the sky like stars.

Stars flowed in the sky.

Then, they fell gradually unlike the sword radiance earlier on.

These stars were extremely slow, even slower than the stream of water in the lake.

“Changing form? I shall see how you can do that!” The thick black clouds surrounded the Candle Dragon’s four claws and he leaped into the sky, heading for the silver river.

He no longer cared about Qian Yu and the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower as the power that Chi Guyan had shown sparked his interest.

The air was silent.

Chi Guyan obviously would not answer the Candle Dragon.

However, the silver river was continuously changing forms in the sky. It flowed and turned like the stream of a lake and flowed into the thick black clouds.

It gradually flowed towards the Candle Dragon’s body.

Gradually.

Although the silver river was flowing extremely slowly, there were too many star-like sparks that gave one the illusion that it was about to cover the entire black cloud.
