Chapter 1074 Rescue in the Nick of Time

Lu Yu relentlessly pursued the Venomous Dragon, who circled below with no intention of fleeing. Perhaps it sought a final confrontation, or perhaps it guarded its nest with unwavering determination.

Lu Yu’s earlier intrusion into the cave had undoubtedly alerted the creature, prompting its hasty return. The eggs within were clearly its own.

A question lingered in Lu Yu’s mind. Why choose this specific location for laying eggs? Was it on the verge of an attack, its reproductive cycle coinciding with the planned assault on SkyplCity? If true, it would have been a terrifying coincidence, nearly leading to a surprise attack.

Lu Yu closed the gap between him and the Venomous Dragon, unleashing another Star Piercing Spike attack with his Star Piercing Demonic Sword.

However, this agile opponent proved elusive. Even with Lu Yu’s dragon wings, catching him remained a challenge.

Even deploying all his dragons wouldn’t guarantee success. His tamed dragons, renowned for their size and combat prowess, were burdened by their slower speeds.

The Nightmare Dragon, the fastest among them due to its smaller size, still fell short when compared to the Venomous Dragon.

Suddenly, the Venomous Dragon executed a sharp turn, spewing forth a dense cloud of poisonous fog that engulfed Lu Yu.

Reacting swiftly, Lu Yu materialized a spatial rift with his Star Piercing Demonic Sword. A beam of violet light, potent as a laser, erupted from the rift, targeting the Venomous Dragon.

Swoosh!

The Venomous Dragon instinctively flapped its wings, attempting to dodge Lu Yu’s attack. Even before the rift fully opened, an instinctive sense of danger overwhelmed it. The boundless energy surging from the rift triggered its immediate evasion.

This last-ditch effort allowed it to dodge the beam itself, but not entirely unscathed. The graze of the violet light tore a bloody hole in the corner of one of its wings.

A deafening roar echoed as the Venomous Dragon, realizing its predicament, beat a hasty retreat.

Lu Yu wasn’t about to let it escape. Though eliminating the creature wasn’t his primary objective, capture held great appeal. Adding a poison-elemental dragon to his team would be a valuable asset.

The Venomous Dragon, clearly recognizing its disadvantage, fled with desperate urgency. Despite the wounded wing, its speed remained impressive. Lu Yu pursued relentlessly, unable to gain significant ground.

Back on the ground, Hu Zhan witnessed the aerial chase, a sigh escaping his lips. “That thing is unbelievably fast! Afterimages appear with every flap of its wings!”

He marveled at both the Venomous Dragon’s and Lu Yu’s incredible speed.

Just as Lu Yu was about to close the distance and launch another attack, the unexpected happened.

The Venomous Dragon before him transformed into a streak of light, plunging downward into the dense forest below.

Swoosh!

With a blink, the Venomous Dragon’s form vanished into thin air, leaving Lu Yu alone in the sky.

Momentarily stunned, he sheathed his Star Piercing Demonic Sword, the encounter leaving him with a sense of bewilderment.

His heart sank when he looked down, realizing something was amiss.

The Venomous Dragon was gone. Someone had kept it away!

This wasn’t just any wild beast—it was a battle pet, a valuable asset unlikely to have been released by someone from the Demon Lord’s Abyss.

It had been under someone’s control, meticulously following a pre-determined attack plan.

Lu Yu’s murderous intent surged.

Since that was the case, he wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate the culprit.

Forcibly wresting control of the poison-elemental dragon was an option, but ultimately an unnecessary hassle. This particular creature wasn’t worth the trouble.

The problem now was the enemy’s elusiveness. They were hidden within the dense forest; their location was a complete mystery. Locating them on his own was practically impossible.

Unless…

Lu Yu’s gaze fell on the sprawling forest, and a glint sparked in his eyes. He wouldn’t be able to find them by conventional means, but a more unorthodox approach might yield results. He gripped the Star Piercing Demonic Sword tightly.

“Nightmare Dragon,” he called out mentally, “any signs of strong spiritual power nearby?”

“Master, negative on strong signatures,” the Nightmare Dragon responded. “There were faint traces earlier, but they vanished abruptly. The enemy seems to have fled.

Lu Yu took a deep breath, frustration tinging his voice. “Escaped… What method did they use? A teleport scroll wouldn’t explain such speed. My sword aura should’ve been enough to disrupt the teleportation.”

“It appears they employed sother means of concealment. Their escape route remains unknown.”

Lu Yu was left empty-handed. With a flap of his wings, he began the descent. The source of thɪs content is NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt

Landing on a treetop, he saw Hu Zhan peeking nervously from behind a nearby tree. Lu Yu descended slowly and emerged from his cover.

“Lu Yu, what happened? What caused that loud rumbling? Was it an earthquake?” Hu Zhan stammered, his voice laced with worry.

“Relax,” Lu Yu reassured him. “Nothing serious. Unfortunately, though I managed to injure the Venomous Dragon, it slipped away. Its master retrieved it just in time.”

“What?! So what’s the next step? They must’ve invested heavily in this attack.

However, now that we’ve alerted them, they likely won’t make a move anytsoon. What do we do?”

“Don’t fret,” Lu Yu consoled him. “At the very least, the attackers have been thwarted. SkyplCity is safe, and that’s a positive outcome.”

“True, we did achieve our objective in an unconventional way. Tto return, then.” Hu Zhan conceded with a shrug. Read Web s Online Free - Fire Fire -

Lu Yu retracted his dragon wings and sheathed the Star Piercing Demonic

Sword. “Let’s go. It’s getting late. We may not have captured the Venomous Dragon today, but another opportunity will surely arise.”

Lu Yu declared this confidently..
