Capítulo 1095: Chapter 1106: Trapped
As Wang Yan charged forward, he kept a sliver of attention focused on the Half-Venerable Dragon.
When Wang Yan saw the Half-Venerable Dragon move, a hint of seriousness appeared on his face.
After all, this Half-Venerable Dragon, being of high realm and great intelligence, is indeed a formidable foe.
Once it takes action, if there’s even the slightest mistake, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, if he could rush to the mouth of the Blazing Flame Cave before the Half-Venerable Dragon arrives, he would have achieved a great victory; otherwise, he feared he’d have to pay a greater price.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan laughed aloud and said, “So it’s this simple, with just one mile left. Brothers, let’s charge ahead and show the dean that we can handle these pests ourselves.”
Upon hearing Wang Yan’s words, Yan Shilin and the others were filled with confidence.
Back when they were trapped at the Prison Suppression Pass, they had considered rushing back into the Blazing Flame Cave.
But upon seeing the area normally reachable with ease covered with densely packed Blazing Flame Flood Dragons within three miles, they discarded the idea.
In their eyes, crossing even a hundred meters seemed impossible.
However, following Wang Yan, they’ve speedily rushed through two miles, and the remaining mile doesn’t seem too daunting.
Buoyed by this confidence, Yan Shilin and the others reignited their fighting spirit and charged forth, scattering the already disarrayed army of Blazing Flame Flood Dragons.
In just moments, the group charged another five hundred meters.
At this point, the cave entrance of the Blazing Flame Cave became clearly visible, just five hundred meters away.
Yet, at that moment, everyone suddenly felt the earth shake, and a cold voice pierced the air behind them: “Do you think you can escape in my presence?”
With this voice, everyone felt a powerful pressure pressing from behind, slowing their movements.
Wang Yan couldn’t help but silently cry out in alarm: This guy got here so quickly.
Upon this thought, Wang Yan turned to look, seeing behind him a Blazing Flame Flood Dragon as massive as a mountain, staring at him with blood-red eyes.
Yan Shilin and the others also turned around, and upon seeing the gigantic dragon behind them, they all paled.
“Half-Venerable Dragon!”
A cry of fear emerged from everyone’s throats.
The mere pressure from the Half-Venerable was enough to slow their movements, let alone talk of escape.
Upon seeing the arrival of the Half-Venerable Dragon, the scattered army of one hundred thousand Blazing Flame Flood Dragons immediately returned, sealing the final five hundred meters tightly.
With the Blazing Flame Flood Dragons ahead and the Half-Venerable Dragon behind, the group found themselves in dire straits instantly.
Standing behind Wang Yan, Yan Shilin whispered, “What do we do now?”
Wang Yan glanced at Yan Shilin and saw a hint of panic in his eyes.
And behind Yan Shilin, every one of the twenty thousand Inner Courtyard disciples appeared pale as well.
The previously high morale had now crumbled.
Wang Yan smiled slightly, nodded towards Yan Shilin, and said, “We’ve already been saved.”
Initially, Yan Shilin thought Wang Yan would encourage everyone to charge out together.
He hadn’t expected Wang Yan to suddenly utter such a statement.
“What do you mean? We’ve been saved?” Yan Shilin asked.
Wang Yan nodded and said, “Correct, this was the dean’s plan—to lure out this Half-Venerable Dragon for him to capture and tame as a Demon Pet.”
Upon hearing these words, Yan Shilin suddenly felt puzzled and hesitated before asking, “You mean the dean used us as bait?”
Wang Yan said, “Yes, and now that you’ve completed your task, just stay here and rest well.”
With that, Wang Yan turned to face the Half-Venerable Dragon.
Though Yan Shilin and the others didn’t quite understand, Wang Yan’s words indicated it was indeed the dean’s arrangement.
Since it was instructed by the all-powerful dean, they had no reason to fear.
As a result, despite being surrounded by tens of thousands of Blazing Flame Flood Dragons, the group stood there relatively relaxed, restoring their energy.
Wang Yan looked back at the Half-Venerable Dragon with a cold smile and said, “You have finally been lured out. My meticulous planning was solely to draw you to the mouth of this Blazing Flame Cave. Haha, now you’ve fallen for it; capturing you alive begins now.”
The Half-Venerable Dragon snorted coldly and said, “Humans love spouting nonsense. Now it is I who will capture you, not the other way around.”
“Is that so?” Wang Yan lifted his eyebrows and immediately walked toward the Half-Venerable Dragon.
The Half-Venerable Dragon felt a jolt of surprise, examining the tiny Wang Yan beneath.
It saw Wang Yan’s lips curled into a cold smile, as if it was all premeditated.
This made the Half-Venerable Dragon’s heart flutter with nervousness: “Could it be I’ve fallen for this human’s trick again?”
In the midst of the Half-Venerable Dragon’s hesitation, Wang Yan suddenly vanished from sight.
While the Half-Venerable Dragon was still puzzled, noticing Wang Yan’s disappearance, it involuntarily stepped back, desperately searching for Wang Yan.
Soon, the Half-Venerable Dragon found Wang Yan, who had run to its right.
The Half-Venerable Dragon roared angrily, “I’ll capture you first, and then we’ll talk.”
With that, the Half-Venerable Dragon lifted its left claw and swiped at Wang Yan.
With a thunderous crash, the massive claw of the Half-Venerable Dragon struck the ground, creating a deep pit.
But it failed to strike Wang Yan, for the Half-Venerable Dragon’s massive head turned, and it saw Wang Yan had escaped to its rear.
Its enormous tail swung up, aiming to smash Wang Yan.
However, Wang Yan had already fled to the Half-Venerable Dragon’s left side.
Wang Yan was seen running circles around the Half-Venerable Dragon while it frantically tried to strike him.
Each time, Wang Yan managed to evade the Half-Venerable Dragon’s attack before it landed.
But the Half-Venerable Dragon’s speed was also incredibly fast, capable of launching attacks all over its body, making it nearly miss Wang Yan several times.
Seeing Wang Yan circle the Half-Venerable Dragon over a dozen times, the Half-Venerable Dragon, now enraged, shouted, “Insignificant human, I’ll crush you like an ant.”
As it spoke, the Half-Venerable Dragon’s body soared into the air, with all but its right front claw descending simultaneously.
The three remaining claws now enveloped Wang Yan, leaving him with no way to escape.
At this time, Wang Yan seemed to finally grasp his predicament, standing on the ground dumbfounded, raising his head to gaze at the three massive draconic claws looming above him, ready to fall.
