Chapter 5696The third floor remained brightly lit, carrying Cen Biqing’s distinctive, faint fragrance.However, David could immediately tell that Cen Biqing was in poor condition.Her face was pale, her breath weak, and her once vibrant blue dress was now stained with wisps of glaring black energy, which seemed to be alive, constantly eroding her dragon essence and soul.She sat cross-legged on the ground, resisting with all her might. Seeing David arrive, her beautiful eyes first flashed with surprise, then turned to anxiety.“Mr. Chen! Quickly! Inside the tower… the core of the tower’s seal has been triggered; it’s repelling and attacking all dragons!”Cen Biqing cried weakly.“What happened? Where’s Lao Hei?”noveldramaDavid darted forward, his palm imbued with pure golden dragon energy, pressing it against Cen Biqing’s back to help her dispel the black energy.“Old Hei is on the fourth floor; the situation is probably worse.”Cen Biqing, relieved of some pressure after receiving David’s help, said urgently, “Shortly after you left last time, an ancient and angry will resounded within the tower.It accused us of attracting outsiders and disturbing our slumber.Then, the restrictive power on each floor surged and began actively attacking us, the suppressed ones.This black energy is the manifestation of the sealing power; it’s devouring our strength!”“An ancient will?”David’s heart sank. “Is it the spirit of the Demon-Suppressing Tower? Or…something from a higher level?”Just then, at the stairwell leading to the fourth floor, space distorted, and a sinister voice echoed: “Hehe, little Azure Dragon girl is right.Golden Dragon boy, you shouldn’t have come again. But since you’re here, leave your Golden Dragon bloodline behind!”Before the words were finished, a condensed, almost tangible black dragon breath, carrying a terrifying power capable of corroding everything and freezing the soul, suddenly erupted from the stairwell, striking David directly in the back!The attack came suddenly and ruthlessly, its timing impeccable. It struck just as David was focused on healing Cen Biqing, his attention momentarily diverted!“Watch out!”Cen Biqing cried out in alarm.David reacted withlightning speed, shoving Cen Biqing towards a safe corner. Simultaneously, he turned, his Dragon-Slaying Sword held horizontally in front of him, instantly activating the Five Elements Shield!Boom!The black dragon breath slammed into the Five Elements Shield, unleashing a violent explosion! David shuddered violently, the shield flickering, and he was propelled backward several feet by the immense force. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he nearly vomited blood.The dark power contained within the dragon breath was actually trying to erode his meridians through the shield!“Who is it?”David stared coldly towards the stairwell.There, black light converged, condensing into a small but jet-black dragon shadow, its scales shimmering with metallic luster, its eyes bloodshot and filled with savagery.It wasn’t a physical entity, but rather formed from pure demonic energy and a dragon soul!“A demonic dragon?”David’s pupils contracted.This was a mutated branch of the dragon race, fallen into demonic ways, cruel in nature, and taking pleasure in devouring the bloodlines of other dragons.“Tsk tsk, as expected of the Golden Dragon bloodline, truly a great tonic.”The Demon Dragon Soul licked its lips, its greed intensifying. “I’ve been imprisoned in this dark and sunless tower for countless years, and today I can finally have some meat! If I eat you, perhaps I can break through this damned seal!”It turned out that this Demon Dragon Soul was also suppressed in the Demon Suppression Tower. Sensing David’s Golden Dragon aura, it didn’t hesitate to expend its soul source to forcibly break through part of the restrictions and launch a sneak attack!“Want to eat me? I’m afraid you don’t have such good teeth!”David suppressed his surging blood and qi, pointing his Dragon-Slaying Sword at the Demon Dragon Soul, his fighting spirit rising.He realized that this rescue mission was far more dangerous than he had imagined!Inside this Demon Suppression Tower, there were not only imprisoned individuals, but also such a malicious being!The Demon Dragon Soul roared, no longer wasting words, and transformed into a black lightning bolt, rushing towards David! It was extremely fast, its claws tearing through the air with a piercing shriek.
