Chapter 13, Rescue
"Crack crack crack~~~" came the sound of petrification.
Xiao Yu glanced at the two petrified Black Vatican members at the cave entrance, his heart pounding.
With a trembling left hand, he lowered it, then pulled Jiang Shaoxu up and climbed onto Lao Hei's back.
"You missed?!" Bai Yang was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Yan in disbelief.
Zhao Yan is a high-level mage sent by the higher-ups!
All that effort to build up a high-level spell, and it just went astray?!
Zhao Yan frowned, also feeling puzzled.
The shot was clearly aimed at those two, so why did it miss?
Old Black attacked the rock barrier with all its might. If the cave hadn't been too small, preventing it from unleashing its full power, it would have torn the barrier in its path to shreds long ago!
Meanwhile, various magical lights shone from the hands of some members of the Black Church nearby.
Fireballs, lightning seals, radiance, ice vines, and other destructive magics all attacked Old Black.
Zhao Yan didn't waste any more words and immediately prepared to create the second earth-type constellation.
"A shock to the soul!"
Jiang Shaoxu's emotional impact struck Zhao Yan directly, shattering the constellation he was finally building.
"Damn it! I'll see if your Mind-type Stardust has more magic power, or my Earth-type Star River has more magic power!" Zhao Yan still didn't give up and started building the next constellation.
Although Old Black has a strong immunity to low-level magic, he still struggles against such a large number of low-level spells.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu had the Chaos element at his disposal, which helped Lao Hei avoid most magical attacks.
"What's going on? Why are all the shots missing?!" The members of the Black Church looked at each other in disbelief as Old Black was about to smash through the rock barrier.
"It's actually the Chaos type!" Zhao Yan gritted his teeth, staring fiercely at Xiao Yu.
This guy isn't just a summoner!
This is a mid-level mage, possessing both summoning and chaos magic!
"My mana is almost depleted." Jiang Shaoxu's expression was not good. Interrupting a high-level mage's spellcasting was not an easy task.
"It's alright, we can go out now." Xiao Yu said, and Old Hei had already smashed the rock barrier with a slap.
Just as Lao Hei started to run wildly, he heard a whooshing sound from the side.
"Which way are you going!"
It's Bai Yang!
He didn't know when he had completed the dimensional summoning, and at this moment the Ghost Wolf Beast was rushing towards Xiao Yu, almost within arm's reach!
It was too late for Old Black to retaliate...
The wolf beast's claws, carrying a foul stench, almost grazed Xiao Yu's cheek.
At this critical moment, a burst of light exploded between Xiao Yu and the Ghost Wolf Beast.
The light curtain, like an invisible net, precisely covered the attacking ghost wolf beast.
The ghost wolf beast's body suddenly froze in mid-air, its limbs still in a pouncing posture, but the ferocious light in its eyes was rapidly dimming.
He was immediately blasted away by an invisible force.
The little white creature, its body radiating golden light, landed slowly, its sacred eyes gleaming with silver light.
"What is this?!" Bai Yang stared at Xiao Bai in disbelief, filled with shock and anger.
How is that possible?
This is the second summoned beast!
In haste, Bai Yang forcefully ordered the badly injured Youlang Beast to launch a second attack.
Just then, the silver light in Xiaobai's eyes turned pink, indicating a mental energy.
"Soul Tremor!"
An invisible wave pierced Bai Yang's sea of consciousness. He felt a buzzing in his head, and the star orbit of his summoning system instantly became disordered, and his connection with the Ghost Wolf Beast was also severed for a moment.
"Ah!!!" Bai Yang's head was throbbing with pain. He could clearly feel that the contract between him and the Ghost Wolf Beast was being forcibly torn apart!
The old black saffron eyes suddenly lit up, and its huge head swung violently, its thick tail lashing out with a whooshing sound as it struck the Dark Wolf Beast's belly.
"Bang—"
A dull, deafening roar erupted as the Dark Wolf Beast's body slammed against the cave wall like a kite with a broken string, the crisp sound of its bones shattering clearly audible.
The ghost wolf struggled for a couple of moments, then fell completely silent.
"My Ghost Wolf Beast!" Bai Yang's eyes were bloodshot, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The death of the Ghost Wolf had a severe backlash on him.
"Old Black, kill him!" Xiao Yu shouted.
Old Black roared and turned around, then opened his blood-red maw, unleashing a powerful suction force once again.
The sudden suction terrified Bai Yang, who quickly looked towards Zhao Yan and cried out, "Deacon Zhao, save me!"
What he saw was an even more desperate scene.
Zhao Yan was casting high-level magic on the rock wall, and the spell would automatically stop when the constellation was about to be completed.
He kept repeating, "Let's see if your Stardust has more magic power, or my Constellation's!"
"No--!"
Bai Yang's screams stopped abruptly as he was sucked into Lao Hei's inner world.
Having dealt with Bai Yang and taken the now-shrunken Xiao Bai, Xiao Yu didn't dare linger for a moment, shouting to Lao Hei, "Let's go!"
Zhao Yan had clearly only recently mastered advanced techniques and lacked practical experience; otherwise, given Xiao Bai's current cultivation level, it would have been impossible for him to fall into an illusion.
This illusion won't last much longer.
Old Black understood, and with a burst of power, it carried the two of them and galloped wildly toward the cave entrance.
However, what you fear most is what happens.
Behind him, Zhao Yan's icy voice rang out like a death knell: "A bunch of clowns, daring to mock me! Die, all of you! Rock Demon's Eye!"
Old Black's speed increased a bit, but compared to high-level techniques, his once-proud speed seemed utterly laughable.
"Am I going to die?" Jiang Shaoxu's eyes revealed a hint of despair.
"Wind Wings - Guardian!"
At the critical moment, four clear, glass-like wings of wind unfurled out of thin air, instantly enveloping Xiao Yu, Jiang Shaoxu, and Lao Hei's massive bodies.
A faint blue halo flowed over the wind wings, carrying a sharp aura, and as soon as it took shape, it met Zhao Yan's Rock Demon Eye.
With a few crisp "crack" sounds, the petrifying power surged forth like a tidal wave.
The four-leaf clover, an invisible wing of wind, transformed into a grayish-brown rock at a visible speed, its surface covered with spiderweb-like cracks, before finally crumbling into dust, leaving no trace of its magic.
But that brief moment of obstruction was enough for Old Black to carry the two of them out of the cave's confinement!
"Leave here!" A voice, sharp and authoritative, echoed from the sky beyond the cliff.
Xiao Yu looked up and saw Zhan Kong hovering in mid-air, his military mage uniform fluttering in the wind, surrounded by violent wind power, his sharp eyes sweeping across the cave with a chilling aura.
Behind Zhan Kong followed several eagles with wingspans exceeding ten meters.
Each eagle is accompanied by a military magistrate or judge.
A chilling atmosphere permeated the entire valley.
"It's the Tribunal and the military!" Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed in shock, her tense nerves suddenly relaxing, and she almost slipped off Lao Hei's back.
Xiao Yu felt a sense of relief, then immediately shouted in a low voice, "Old Hei, speed up!"
Old Black roared, its four hooves slamming against the edge of the cliff, and its massive body shot out of the cave like an arrow, finally coming to a steady stop at the edge of the cliff.
Inside the cave on the cliff, Zhao Yan looked at the three who had escaped with a gloomy expression.
"Slash through the void!" He clenched his fist, and brown earth magic energy surged wildly in his palm.
Just as he was about to unleash his magic, he suddenly sensed a chilling killing intent locking onto him.
Zhao Yan turned around abruptly and saw that all the Black Vatican members in the cave had collapsed to the ground.
Deep inside the cave, a person dressed in grey priest's robes slowly emerged.
Zhao Yan inwardly cried out in alarm and opened his mouth to bite off the poison in his mouth.
"Soul-capturing and mind-controlling!" A spiritual aura burst forth from the gray-robed man.
Zhao Yan's eyes immediately went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
