BXBX NOVEL Chapter 383 The Gold Dragon, Jinlong
The Barrier of Gold Dragon, Jinlong
Rank: 9 (peak)
Description: It is a self-healing barrier created by the guardian beast of the Wuji sect. The barrier is like a defensive shield that will block the attacks from outside but will let the attacks from within the barrier pass through it.
**
As Mark was inspecting the barrier, the griffin stopped beside him and Xie Mei said, "I heard that there is a grand mage surnamed Wang in the enemy's forces. Only he could conjure such a marveling barrier."
"No, this was created by a gold dragon, not a human," replied Mark before adding, "The Kunlun sect elders mentioned that the Wuji sect has a guardian beast too but didn't say that it was a dragon."
"A gold dragon? Impossible." Xie Mei was shocked by Mark's words. She further said, "I thought they have gone extinct. If it is really true, then, it is highly possible that we might not be able to win this battle."
Mark then turned his head to look at the teenager, "what do you know about the gold dragons, Miss Xie?"
Xie Mei answered, "The gold dragons are the wisest kind after the white dragons. Thousands of years ago, when the dragons were ruling the earth…"
"Not the history, the abilities," Mark interrupted her, forcing her to stop showing off her knowledge about the history and admitted that there's little about their abilities recorded in history. But, what she was confident about is the fact that the gold dragon is more of a mage type, able to conjure various spells, and theoretically, they also should have the ability to learn as many spells as they can, just like the human mages. They were also super intelligent to predict the moves of the enemies and this make them quite lethal.
"Alright then, we will do something unpredicted," Mark nodded and suddenly turned in a different direction from Mt. Wu, resuming his flight.
Lan Ju didn't know what Mark was planning but he followed him in silence. Xie Mei also followed the suit.
Meanwhile, on the top of Mt. Wu, the two grand elders also with the Patriarch who were staying awake and alerted since the last evening couldn't help but wonder why the enemy has changed direction.
Obviously, with their high sensing range, they spotted Mark and the other two long ago and were prepared to fight. Even they know that the barrier wouldn't be able to stop someone who managed to resist the effect of their ancient formation.
However, it will take some time to destroy the barrier, and in that time, they hoped to counterattack with their own techniques. But, Mark started to go away instead.
Was he leaving? Or is there another plan? Everyone had this same thought, including Xie Mei who stubbornly tagged along with Mark to prove her worth.
Mark flew for another 20 minutes before landing on top of a high-altitude mountain, located about 26 kilometers far away from the foot of Mt. Wu. On the way, he even saw familiar faces who were still trying to get into their positions.
Mark ignored them and kept his eye on Mt. Wu or more like the shining grand barrier as he stood on the peak. As the other two also landed beside him, he asked them to give him some space.
They moved away and Mark took out his Missile Defense system from the storage ring and mounted it on a flat surface.
"What is this thing?" Xie Mei couldn't help but wonder. The missile defense system with three launchers appeared damn weird to her. But then again, it is not like it was her first time seeing a strange weapon. Now, the only question left in her mind is "what would this weapon do?"
Aiming at the golden barrier, Mark started taking out a bunch of X-2 and X-3 missiles, loading them one after another.
By the time he loaded all forty of them in their respective launchers, it was already morning and the vision became quite clear for the naked eye.
He locked onto the target.
"First, let's remove the barrier…" Mark wanted to use a skill of the defense system but then he changed his plan at the last second and turned toward Lan Ju.
"Can you hit that thing from here?" He asked.
Lan Ju shook his head, "only a demigod has the power to destroy it from this far." The meaning behind his words is clear. He would have to transform into the zheng to strike the target from more than 25 kilometers away.
Both of them glanced at Xie Mei. She has yet to gain the trust of Mark. So, whether it is okay to reveal the secret to her is something that Mark had to decide for.
Mark thought for a bit and said, "Then, go closer and strike it from a lower angle."
Lan Ju meaningfully nodded and disappeared. Xie Mei wondered what Mark meant by lower angle and its significance. But, she promised to not ask questions to satisfy her curiosity if she wants to tag along to participate in this conquest.
Hence, she silently stared at Mark and became a witness to what was about to happen to the enemy force.
Stopping roughly about ten kilometers away from Mt. Wu, Lan Ju transformed into a five-tailed scarlet leopard and went into action with a big move.
A giant energy sphere filled with five different elements (fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning) made its way toward the golden barrier.
The entire Kunlun mountain range started shaking like there was an earthquake but of low magnitude.
The elders of the Kunlun sect, Wuji sect, and even Shaolin sect felt their breathing became harder as they sensed the power of a super powerful demigod.
As the strongest beings in the vicinity, Patriarch Lai Peng and the sleeping gold dragon were forced to get out in the open.
Both of them saw the incoming energy sphere. As it neared, the gold dragon spoke in a bit of anger, aiming at the middle-aged fellow beside it. "Lai Peng, you doomed all of us with your foolishness."
