The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System-Chapter 75 - The Invasion

The bandit from the Red Claw gang tried to fight against Qingyi’s grip, but the moment he felt the young man’s power, he gave up.

Filling his gaze with determination, he opened his mouth, biting a small capsule between his teeth.

The substance spread through his body, his skin turned purple and a disgusting black blood leaked from his mouth.

"Ugh!" Qingyi quickly withdrew his hand, watching the corpse melt as it fell to the ground.

That was truly cruel poison, not even leaving bones behind.

Turning his face, his eyes met those of Yueli. She was trembling.

If there was already an escort from the Red Claw gang there, didn’t that mean that the main force was already getting close to the temple?

The mere thought of this possibility made her heart sink.

"We have to get back to the temple, now!" she exclaimed, running towards Bluey, but Qingyi stopped her at the last moment.

"What are you-" Her words were interrupted by a high-pitched squeal as Qingyi picked her up.

Without hesitation, he activated the Lightning Steps.

Bluey was a majestic and fast animal, but she was nowhere near the speed of a Foundation Realm cultivator with a movement technique.

Yueli clung to Qingyi’s cloak, his touch not even registering in her agitated mind.

All she could think about was the danger her sisters were in.

Looking over his shoulder, she saw Bluey already galloping towards her.

She didn’t worry too much about the mare, she was an intelligent animal who knew the way home.

"Hold on tight!" Qingyi warned as his body surged over the treetops, his speed increasing even more.

Elize hummed softly as she removed the lid from a steaming pot.

She took a spoon and tasted the reddish broth that was boiling.

"Perfect!" She curled her lips as she went to put the lid back on, but stopped at the last moment, feeling the ground beneath her feet shake.

She ran to the other side of the kitchen, grabbed her sword and shot into the temple courtyard.

Her eyes fixed on the sky above the walls.

The temple’s defensive formations were active, a barrier of thunderous energy forming a dome around them.

That immediately made her heart sink.

The temple’s formations would only activate if there was a powerful enemy trying to invade the sect, and in its current state, it was too weakened.

They had no spirit crystals to power the formation, and the little energy that remained was only what the formation could gather from the environment.

"Big sister Elize! What’s going on?" The other priestesses approached, worried.

Their eyes soon focused on the sect’s large double gates when a crash echoed, the wood shuddering slightly.

"Go to the throne room and lock everything up. Yueli and Qingyi should be here soon," Elize ordered, putting all the strength she could muster into her voice as she drew her sword.

"But-"

"Now!" Elize interrupted the girls, forcing her aura out of her body and pushing them towards the throne room.

Although she was not yet at the Foundation Realm, she was the strongest of the priestesses who had stayed at the temple.

It was her responsibility to look after all the others.

The women obviously tried to stay and fight alongside her, but the purple-haired beauty wouldn’t give in. freewebnσvel.cѳm

They weren’t ready to fight without Yueli, Elize knew that well. It would be a bloodbath if she allowed them to take part.

With all her determination, she closed the large double doors of the throne room, locking them inside.

Unlike the formations surrounding the temple, the formations in the throne room were much more powerful and could hold Foundation Realm cultivators for many minutes.

If she herself could stop the enemies for a few more moments, it would certainly be enough time for Yueli and Qingyi to return.

"Ah..." she sighed, calming her breathing. She was terrified, but she didn’t let it show.

Her Lightning Qi took over the air around her and, with a powerful explosion, the double gates flew open, revealing rough-looking men with bald heads and red jackets.

’Red Claw...’ She gritted her teeth.

She’d expected them to come back at some point... but why now?

"Look what we’ve got here!" One of the bandits stepped forward, his eyes focusing on Elize’s body like a pig in heat.

Right behind him, she could see at least another hundred, but she relaxed the moment she realized that there were no Foundation Realm cultivators among them.

That made everything so much easier.

"The leader wouldn’t mind us having a bit of fun with her first, would he?" Another thug asked, causing Elize’s face to distort in anger.

Her shoulders shook as she stomped hard on the ground, catapulting herself towards him.

"Oh... she’s brave!" The bandit smiled disdainfully as he raised his sword, but the next moment, he regretted it.

Elize’s sword didn’t meet his.

On the contrary, it snaked around the blade like a bolt of lightning, finding his neck and hurling his head into the air.

Elize was not a fragile, delicate woman, at least not in front of any man other than Qingyi.

She had been trained by a sword master since she was six years old, and when she no longer had that master, she still had the temple library, with thousands of books on fencing and combat.

The bandits, on the other hand, had never faced anything but weak, unarmed peasants, the biggest battles of their lives being fought in brothels.

They were not on the same level.

"What the fuck?" The first bandit shouted, his eyes wide as Elize advanced towards him.

Her sword easily deflected his. Two bloody fists fell to the ground before her blade found his chest.

"Come!" She roared, her blood burning as her sword danced around her body.

She would hold them back until her knees failed and her shoulders slumped. As long as her sisters were in danger, she would endure.
