It is difficult to describe Ye Zhongming's feelings at this moment, but one thing is certain: he no longer needed to make a choice.
He had to take down this dragon behind him!
Ye Zhongming needed to clarify what kind of roulette this was; he needed time. Without defeating this dragon, he wouldn't have that time. Furthermore, even if they planned to return later, they must eliminate this dragon now if they wanted to escape. Given that their aircraft couldn't land directly in this area, there was no way for them to leave the battlefield while the dragon still existed.
Since they were going to deal with this dragon, its level didn't matter anymore.
Ye Zhongming turned around and transformed into the Black Mist Giant, roaring at the fire elemental dragon that had approached nearby.
A massive mental shockwave swept across the sky, causing the charging fire elemental dragon to suddenly halt for a moment.
Ye Zhongming's mental power was so abundant that perhaps even he himself didn't know where it stood among the beings of the All Races of the Universe, but it was undeniably strong, very strong!
Combined with the boost from his transformation, the fire elemental dragon was clearly affected greatly. It had previously been ready to unleash its breath attack, but now the flames that had been bubbling in its mouth were swallowed back. Following that, the pain in its head and the violent coughing made the fire elemental dragon sway in the air.
The lai lai bird darted past the back of the fire elemental dragon, taking a chunk of flesh with it.
At the same time, a cold blade of light erupted from beneath the giant dragon, striking its abdomen. Although the sound of metal clashing rang out, blood also sprayed forth.
Triggered by Ye Zhongming's mental shock, the lai lai bird and Commander Cheng Liujin immediately followed up with attacks.
The fire elemental dragon's brief pause caused it to lose the advantage, and with its body already swaying, it suffered two successive hits, compounded by the pain of holding back its dragon breath, leading it to instinctively roar.
The mental power of the Dragon Race was formidable, and while it couldn't be compared to Ye Zhongming's fusion skills, it did grant this dragon a high resistance to mental shocks. It quickly recovered, and with its roar, three rings of flames appeared around its body, constantly shifting to prevent the next imminent attack.
And indeed, the attacks kept coming.
Following Commander Cheng Liujin's blade of light, the other members of the clan leader's guard launched their ranged attacks.
At the height the fire elemental dragon was currently at, there were only a little over thirty warriors capable of such attacking range, making up a bit more than half, but these warriors were the elite of the guard, and their strength was not to be underestimated. The combined assault struck the fire elemental dragon, sending the massive rebel dragon flying far into the sky.
Those flame rings played a certain role, yet the dragon still suffered numerous injuries from the barrage. Ye Zhongming, the lai lai bird, and Commander Cheng Liujin were ready for a secondary attack but suddenly noticed the spreading red energy.
The flame rings exploded, rushing outward, forcing Ye Zhongming and the others back.
After paying a significant price, the fire elemental dragon gained a brief moment to catch its breath.
Ye Zhongming felt a touch of regret.
If it had been another lifeform, one with ordinary mental power, perhaps the blank period caused by the mental shock would have allowed them to surround and kill it.
Clearly, this dragon did not fall within that range; despite its injuries, it didn't seem very serious, and instead, its malice became incredibly intense.
No peak realm!
At this moment, Ye Zhongming confirmed one thing: this dragon had not surpassed the level of a peak expert, which was incredibly good news.
If it had been a peak giant dragon...
Then they might all die here.
The gap was too vast, unbridgeable by any means.
At this moment, the lai lai bird circled high in the sky, Ye Zhongming stood on the ground with fifty warriors from the clan leader's guard behind him, and Commander Cheng Liujin hovered in mid-air, maintaining the same altitude as the fire elemental dragon.
