I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 39
"Cough! Cough!"

The pillar of fire from Tianhuo subsided, and Li Yuan coughed violently.

He didn't suffer any harm because of the sky fire, he was not afraid of fire, and the state of the holy dragon of light was extremely resistant to the sky fire, he was choked by his own blood.

Lucio's sword still injured him severely. The wound extended from the corner of the mouth to the middle of the neck, touching the throat deeply, and the blood continuously overflowed from the wound and dripped down.

Now he is not even breathing so smoothly, not to mention breathing out dragon's breath.

Fortunately, Lucio must have been hurt more than him... No, that guy must be dead!
"Captain!!"

The remaining crossbow arrow knight shouted in panic, and chased with the other wyvern to the direction where Lucio was blasted out.

Li Yuan also looked over there, and the fire pillar of the Judgment Angel Ring ignited several trees around the landing point.

To be cautious, he still called the [Watcher] and tried to search for Lucio.

The projection of the watchman showed the burning forest. Surrounded by the flames, the knight king of the empire slowly climbed up with his long sword.

How can it be?Is this a cockroach?
Li Yuan was really shocked.

Even if the fireproof equipment resisted the fire and didn't burn him to death on the spot, even if he was blasted to the ground from such a high place, there might not be a few intact bones left on his body.

But soon, Li Yuan noticed that the hooks on both of Lucio's gauntlets were ejected, and the two hooks extended to two trees in the distance that had been broken in the middle.

In the nick of time, he fired the hook wire towards the woods, and the two hook wires were respectively wrapped around two trees. The pull of the hook wire and the tree provided him with a buffer, coupled with the blessing of the giant's strength, he was left with a sigh of relief.

more importantly……

[Watcher] recognized the ability used by Lucio again, and new information flowed into Li Yuan's mind:

"'Jedi Counterattack' can only be launched when the life is dying. It stabilizes the physical condition in a very short period of time, stimulates the remaining potential, and greatly improves the physical ability until the end of the ability duration or death."

There was still a dangerous black aura around Lucio's body, even stronger than when he first saw it.

Just like Li Yuan kept his hole card of the tower defense system, the legendary warrior Lucio also kept his own hole card.

There are still blood locks and residual blood rage, this guy is really a protagonist template...

At this moment, Li Yuan calmed down.

He has already realized that if he continues to fight, no matter what, he will probably die.

The same is true for Lucio. With such a serious injury, it is rare to be able to hold his breath. Timely treatment can still hang his life. If he continues to use the "jedi counterattack" to squeeze the strength from that remnant body, I am afraid that he will inevitably perish with him.

"We..." He struggled to force out an indistinct voice from his torn throat, "We will probably die..."

Zhen Na, who was pinched in his paw, was taken aback for a moment before she realized that the words were addressed to her.

Zhenna's expression quickly returned to calm, and then she replied loudly:
"The big deal is to die together!"

Facing legendary fighters who are almost impossible to win, they have tried their best.

Since death is inevitable, face it calmly.

At least when they went to die, they were alone with each other!

Hearing Zhenna's response, Li Yuan felt the urge to laugh out loud.

He ignored the severe pain in his throat and forcefully opened his mouth, letting out a hoarse dragon roar in the air!

This completely out-of-shape dragon roar, to Lucio's ears, is more powerful than the roar of the ancient black dragon he once faced.

To him, this dragon roar is tantamount to a death knell, and he knows very well that continuing to choose to fight the red dragon in the distance means choosing to die on this battlefield.

"Captain!"

The flying dragon circled down, and the ballista knight riding on the flying dragon's back saw that he was still alive, and couldn't help turning his worries into joy.

Almost at the same time, another knight also ran over on a fast horse and shouted at Lucio: "Captain!"

"Are you also defeated..."

When Lucio saw that only one knight had returned from the ground troops, he immediately understood what was going on.

The task that I thought could be done easily turned over unexpectedly.

The flying dragon landed, and the ballista knight asked Lucio for instructions with a trembling voice: "Commander, please order!"

With such an unexpectedly tragic situation, if the effect of the "Fearless Battle Cry" hadn't remained, his fighting spirit would have collapsed long ago.

Lucio's hesitation only lasted for a moment, and the figure of Princess Frede suddenly appeared in his mind.

He is not afraid of death, but after he dies, who can be the sword in that Highness's hand?

And that tower... If they die here, no one will convey the important information here.

"Retreat." He ordered.

The two surviving knights looked at each other.

"Retreat, I'll come back." Lucio said as he climbed onto the back of the remaining wyvern.

"Yes!" The knights finally responded.

Li Yuan watched Lucio's wyvern rising again, and immediately got ready to face the battle.

But then he saw the other side turn around and retreat away from the tower. Lucio rode a wyvern to guard the back.

retreat?
Li Yuan stared at them cautiously until they left the range of the [Watcher], until they disappeared from sight.

Letting go to Western Europe is undoubtedly a hidden danger. He has formed such a relationship with the empire. Perhaps one day, this brave dragon slayer will appear in front of him again with a long sword.

But he didn't have the ability to hunt down and kill Lucio who still had the strength to fight. It would be better to fight again in the future than to die together now.

After the battle ended, the late exhaustion came over, Li Yuan quickly landed on the ground, and then lay down on his stomach.

"Gannon!!" Zhenna crawled out of his claws, and ran towards his wound with an anxious expression on her face, "You will quickly transform into a human form, shrink the wound, and I will heal you! Don't die! If you die..."

I'm the only one left—Zhenna thought to herself.

Coincidentally, this is where she escaped from the Infinity Tower and fell.

Zhenna immediately recalled the memory of lying here, thinking that she was going to die alone and miserable.

She no longer wants to experience that kind of lonely and desperate death.

When the red dragon said that they might die here together, she wasn't afraid at all.

Li Yuan was dizzy from her noise, and after transforming into a human form with Transfiguration, he sat up and glared at Zhenna.

"Don't cry, it's not convenient for me to speak..."

He clutched the side of his cut neck and muffled his voice.

"Are you okay?" Zhenna looked at him wide.

"It's something! I can't die, get treatment quickly!!" Li Yuan gave orders briefly.

The vitality of the real dragon is extremely tenacious, and the form of the holy dragon of light further strengthened his defense and self-healing ability.

As the blood gradually stopped, he had to bear the serious injury that almost cut his throat.

Zhen Na quickly used the holy light technique on Li Yuan's wound.

There was a sound of footsteps approaching, and the stone riding on Lu Xinglong's back found it.

"Congratulations, my lord, on your triumphant return." Shitou congratulated Li Yuan, "Do you need me to dance a victory dance for you?"

"So, it counts as a win?" Li Yuan smiled wryly, but he could only twitch the corner of his mouth that was not injured.

"If you survived, you won." Shito replied in a calm tone.

Li Yuan opened his eyes slightly, and then relaxed.

Indeed, for him now, being able to survive is the greatest victory.

He stretched out his hand and signaled Shitou to help him, Shishi immediately stepped down and helped Li Yuan support one arm.

"Miss Zhenna, I will trouble you on the other side." Stone immediately shouted at Zhenna.

"Okay, okay." Zhen Na was a little caught off guard, but she acted immediately, holding Li Yuan's other arm.

"Why don't you..." Li Yuan glanced at Zhenna hesitantly, and wanted to say "forget it".

With this height difference, Zhen Na couldn't give much support at all, it felt like she was just holding his arm, it would be better to let him hang on Lu Xinglong's back.

"It's not convenient to talk, so don't talk too much!" Zhenna blushed slightly, and patted his arm.

Li Yuan pulled up the corner of his uninjured mouth and smiled helplessly. With the support of Shitou and Zhenna, he walked slowly towards his tower.
