Chapter 1543: Chapter 1543

The battle began much faster than Du You had imagined. In just a brief moment, the dragon army suffered significant losses, finding themselves with no chance to retreat. Although these were catalyzed reinforcements, they were still of great use to the plan.

If all of them were wiped out in a short time, then the enemy would undoubtedly retreat.

Thus, the hidden seventh-tier giant dragon could no longer remain concealed. Indeed, in such a large-scale army, it was entirely normal for a seventh-tier dragon to be lurking in the background. They were fishing for opponents, but Du You was fishing too.

A breath of icy blue suddenly erupted, its power seemingly capable of freezing the void itself. Everything within the void instantly stagnated as blue dragon breath surged and instantly turned one Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf into an ice block.

Immediately after, a massive blue dragon emerged, radiating endless ferocity as it charged toward another Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.

Such actions were entirely reasonable; it was merely a matter of misjudgment. If their enemy truly was a summoning-type foe, then killing their summoned beasts before they could react would indeed weaken their strength.

Unfortunately, this time their opponent was not a summoning-type Professional. So, the dragon’s combat approach was correct, but its judgment was flawed. And this flawed judgment marked the beginning of its downfall.

"Less than ten minutes, it wasn’t teleported here. This blue dragon must have been hiding in the rear with the army, and it was hidden very well."

Du You immediately said, "We don’t have time for commentary. Attack that creature now; make sure it doesn’t escape."

Lin Yucha nodded, then fired an arrow, quickly followed by several more consecutive arrows. Lin Yushi also acted almost simultaneously, and the fastest arrow struck the blue dragon just as it killed the second Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.

A layer of icy armor instantly appeared on the blue dragon, but it was still unable to fully block the attack. The arrows effortlessly pierced through the icy armor’s surface, forming a massive opening, and the weakened attack penetrated the dragon itself. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

The blue dragon let out a pained scream, a massive wound carved into its body, with blood gushing forth.

"Truly formidable, no wonder it’s specifically designed as an anti-dragon weapon," Lin Yucha praised.

The weapon itself was at the seventh-tier, coupled with her Bow of the Law skill, its sheer power was already formidable. Now being specifically targeted toward dragons, the blue dragon before them was utterly no match. With this assault, it could barely defend itself. The relentless storm of arrows—it was clear to the blue dragon that it faced certain defeat.

With a terrifying roar, the blue dragon suddenly launched its attack. Icicles formed mid-air, descending like a torrential storm. It was compensating for a lack of quality by overwhelming with quantity.

Through massive expenditures of divine power, the attack was directed toward its enemies. Only dragons, with their abundant divine power reserves, could pull off such tactics. But similarly, this time, its opponent’s divine power far surpassed its own.

Du You didn’t even need to act; he merely observed as the sisters performed. Without showing themselves, arrows continuously fired.

The ice shards shattered into powdery fragments, and within less than ten minutes of combat, the blue dragon was covered with countless wounds. At this rate, the blue dragon was doomed to escape failure.

Its powerful close-combat methods were rendered useless because any attempt to approach would only result in greater strikes against the blue dragon.

From a distance, the blue dragon could slightly intercept some of the arrows targeting it. The inability to close the gap only deepened the blue dragon’s disadvantage. Even at the seventh tier, under such battles, it would gradually lose its fighting capacity.

The conflicting forces of Law coursing through its body meant that after this battle, it would likely require an extended recovery period.

"The timing is under control. Kill it, then we leave," Du You said decisively.

However, at that moment, Du You suddenly noticed one of the scales on the blue dragon’s body burst apart. A phantom-like gleam emanated, instantly enveloping the entire dragon.

Then, the blue dragon vanished without a trace. There was no sign left behind.

"It’s not invisibility, nor is there spatial fluctuation. But it has undoubtedly teleported away. It’s unclear whether this was spatial teleportation or some other method. If it’s spatial teleportation, it confirms that the Dragon Clan has a powerful spatial-type dragon among them."

Du You’s expression grew grim, as spatial-type opponents were always among the most troublesome. Even if he could win against a spatial dragon, it would be virtually impossible to stop its escape.

Moreover, there was no telling what other tricks they might have. There was a real risk of being caught in an ambush.

"Let’s leave too. It’s not safe to stay here for long," Lin Yucha suddenly said.

Du You nodded. This area had already been exposed, and remaining here was too dangerous. As for the dragon army, Du You couldn’t care less about them; let them fend for themselves.

Without the oversight of a seventh-tier dragon, the dragon army was momentarily bewildered after their departure. However, soon under the drive of instinct, the catalyzed dragons began regrouping and continued advancing forward.

What followed was another scenario of dragon invasion. A massive influx of dragons directly launched an attack on a life-bearing planet, creating a scene of devastation that was unbearable to witness. Of course, none of this had anything to do with Du You anymore.

Upon returning, Du You reported the results of this mission and resumed searching for his next target.

Indeed, this was considered an accomplishment—Du You inflicted serious injuries on a blue dragon, rendering it unable to partake in the upcoming battles. It effectively eliminated one opponent. Yet, Du You had always sought to completely destroy his enemies, and this kind of achievement left him unimpressed. He didn’t even truly acknowledge it.

His next target would have to be completely obliterated, no exceptions.

Like Du You, other seventh-tier experts similarly adopted comparable strategies. Both sides were engaged in a fishing game, waiting to see whether the Dragon Clan would emerge first, or the Professionals would expose themselves instead.

The frontline combat had reached an intense fever pitch. It was hard to determine how many reinforcements the dragons had summoned, yet the human Professional side was also augmenting their reinforcements.

Once such a battle begins, it cannot be halted; after all, the lines have already been crossed. If this world was ceded to the dragons, their potential growth would skyrocket, inevitably becoming a threat to Earth in the future.

At their level of existence, relations between worlds were fundamentally hostile. Weakening their opponents by any means was necessary. With a world this crucial, Earth’s conscious will would never let it go. Now it was a matter of whose strategies were superior.
