"Yes."
Tang Xin continued, "Nearby, there is a portal connecting two dimensions. These Dragon-men came through that portal. However, not all Dragon-men can pass through, as the portal has a limit to what it can withstand.
If a Dragon-man who is too powerful enters, the passage between the dimensions will become unstable. What will happen then, no one can predict. That’s why, despite the years, the Dragon-men’s power has not been too formidable."
"Sister Xin, what about the summoning ritual you mentioned earlier?"
"That is the second way, apart from the portal," Tang Xin explained. "Using a special ritual and offerings, you can forcibly open the passage between dimensions. Think of it as a temporary portal.
This temporary portal can withstand stronger Dragon-men, allowing more powerful ones from another dimension to come through. Those Dragon-men we see now must be performing this ritual."
Hearing this, the other women were stunned.
"Sister Xin, how strong will the Dragon-men they summon this time be?"
"I’m not sure, but they shouldn’t be any weaker than those three Dragon-men."
Tang Xin glanced at the distance, where three Dragon-men stood over five meters tall.
These three Dragon-men are likely Tier Six, comparable to A-level Awakened humans or Beast Kings among Fierce Beasts.
As a B-level Awakened, she couldn’t even scratch them with her attacks.
This time, the Dragon-men created so much commotion, slaughtering over thirty thousand Fierce Beasts.
With so many sacrifices, the one they summon is at least a High-level Beast King, perhaps even a Top-level Beast King.
It could even be a Tier Seven Dragon-man!
"Whatever they summon, we cannot stop it," one woman sighed.
The cuffs on their hands made even slight movements exhausting, and they couldn’t use their Spiritual Power, as helpless as lambs to the slaughter.
"Yes, we ourselves are like clay Buddhas crossing the river, barely able to protect ourselves."
"By the way, Sister Xin, why haven’t these guys killed us yet?"
"Well..." Tang Xin hesitated.
The Dragon-man Race is different from the Fierce Beasts.
To the Fierce Beasts, it doesn’t matter if humans are male or female.
But to the Dragon-man Race, human women hold value.
Many human settlements attacked by Dragon-men had all the males killed while young adult women were taken away as slaves to serve the Dragon-men, who would eat them if they were hungry.
These Dragon-men might be keeping them alive to sacrifice to the one they summon.
"I’m glad I came."
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
If these Dragon-men succeed in their summoning, Anshan City would face even greater danger.
These Dragon-men cannot be allowed to live!
Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he took an arrow, aiming for the head of the nearest Dragon-man in red armor.
The Dragon-man sensed something and turned towards Chen Fan.
But it was too late.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the arrow hit its head, shattering its armor and chest.
"!!!"
The sudden change stunned all the Dragon-men present.
Even Tang Xin and the others were filled with confusion, not knowing what had happened.
Having succeeded, Chen Fan immediately aimed a second arrow at the head of the Blue Armored Dragon-man.
Though he felt regret and a bit of relief.
Regret, because the Hundredfold Sun-Shooting Arrow could fire only one shot at a time.
Otherwise, he could have taken out the remaining two Dragon-men as well.
Relief, because he aimed at its head.
The power of that arrow wasn’t limited to a hundredfold due to the passive trait of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, Blessing Power.
Level 5 of the Blessing Power could increase attack power by fifty percent, making that arrow’s power equivalent to one hundred fifty times.
Yet it only managed to destroy less than half of the opponent’s armor.
If he had aimed at the body, whether it could kill was uncertain.
"Boom!"
Another explosive sound, the second Sun-Shooting Arrow shot towards the Blue Armored Dragon-man’s head.
"Tat tat!"
The Blue Armored Dragon-man, eyes filled with rage and hidden fear, leapt dozens of meters high, like a meteor falling towards Chen Fan’s position.
The air exploded with deafening sound as it descended.
"Boom!"
A loud crash.
The spot where Chen Fan stood turned to dust, cracks spreading like a web, walls of the entire floor shattering, dust filling the air.
"Karah?"
The Blue Armored Dragon-man looked around.
"Karah."
It gritted its teeth with frustration.
That kick had missed the despicable human.
Hundreds of meters away, Chen Fan exhaled.
The Dragon-man’s speed was incredible, dodging his attack.
"The Sun-Shooting Arrow technique is powerful, but a bit slow. I should consider exchanging for the Supreme Martial Arts Arrow Technique Secret Manual."
Chen Fan thought.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, he sensed danger.
"Boom!"
The next second, the building he was in exploded, turning to powder.
"That was close!"
Chen Fan looked at where he had been.
Thanks to his abnormal Spiritual Power, he sensed the danger beforehand, or without activating Vajra Indestructible Body, he might’ve been injured.
"Wala!"
"Wala wala!"
In the distance, the White-robed Dragon-men noticed Chen Fan’s escape, eyes blazing with anger, raised their claws towards him.
"Again,"
The sense of unease returned, and Chen Fan sprang away.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the building turned to dust again.
But then, a loud noise came from the sky.
Another Sun-Shooting Arrow was fired!
This time, it wasn’t aimed at the Blue Armored Dragon-man but at the White-robed Dragon-men.
"Ula!"
The Blue Armored Dragon-man was shocked, exclaiming.
The dozen White-robed Dragon-men hadn’t expected this sudden change of target.
A purple figure quickly intervened, punching the oncoming arrow from the side.
"Boom!"
The purple figure was sent flying, destroying walls along the way.
The Wrist Guard on its right arm shattered, blood flowing from its massive claw.
The arrow broke in two, deflecting off course and reducing power.
Even so, the collision winds sent the White-robed Dragon-men staggering.
The Blue Armored Dragon-man looked relieved.
But it didn’t expect the familiar explosion to resound again.
Another Sun-Shooting Arrow targeted the White-robed Dragon-men.
"Alalala!"
Its eyes widened in anger and fear.
The arrow’s speed wasn’t fast for it but it couldn’t intercept due to distance.
Its comrades had only just gotten up!
Too late!
"Ah!"
Several screams.
A White-robed Dragon-man’s head was pierced by the arrow, which exploded, taking several others around him.
The surrounding Dragon-men were utterly stunned.
They stood dumbfounded.
Chen Fan smirked.
Initially, he hadn’t intended to attack the White-robed Dragon-men, targeting the armored ones instead.
But since they messed with him, he’d be ruthless.
Besides, they seemed more threatening.
He shot another arrow.
More White-robed Dragon-men were blown apart.
In the blink of an eye, less than three were left alive.
"Alala!"
Now, both the Blue and Purple Armored Dragon-men lost their minds.
The White-robed Dragon-men were crucial for the summoning ritual!
Without them, the passage couldn’t open even with enough sacrifices.
If one or two died, they could manage, but now only three were left!
They shot Chen Fan a look and charged.
To them, the archer deserved to die a thousand times.
Chen Fan retreated quickly.
The two armored Dragon-men pursued relentlessly.
The distance between them shrank.
"These two are faster than me."
Chen Fan was surprised.
The two Dragon-men exchanged grim looks.
This human!
After killing him, they’d slaughter every human settlement around!
Suddenly, they saw the gap widen as Chen Fan sped up.
"?"
They looked surprised.
Was he holding back?
"Boom!"
An arrow shot again!
Aiming again at the Blue Armored Dragon-man’s head.
Its face changed, dodging quickly.
It looked at Chen Fan with mockery as if to say, shoot as many arrows as you want, it’s useless.
But it didn’t expect the arrow to turn mid-air and come back!
