Healing!
At the moment of the shockwave's impact, Luo Li released her skill with the last shred of her consciousness.
Instantly, holy light flowed through her body, and the areas injured by the vibrations and the blast wave quickly returned to normal.
If she did not treat herself now, she would be shaken to death by these two idiots before even hitting the ground!
However, the two clearly had no intention of letting her go.
At this moment, all three of them, along with the carriage, were falling.
Although the altitude was two kilometers, the speed of their descent was incredibly fast.
Luo Li could not even struggle; she could only watch helplessly as she was dragged down by her collar by the Demon Emperor.
"Black!!"
Suddenly, the Dragon King let out a sharp shout, accompanied by a dragon's roar right beneath the carriage.
A massive black figure swept past, flapping its wings!
Boom!
The Saint's Carriage slammed onto the black dragon's back, but for a dragon of that size, the weight was like a mere tickle.
The Dragon King and the Demon Emperor were even less affected; for two level seventy-five powerhouses, this height was like walking on level ground.
But this impact was miserable for Luo Li.
The falling process seemed slow but was actually fast; in just over ten seconds, they had fallen nearly a thousand meters.
The moment Black caught the carriage, Luo Li's legs slammed hard onto the floorboards.
Suddenly, the powerful downward force caused her legs to let out a sharp, brittle crack as they buckled under the weight.
Snap!
In that instant, Luo Li did not feel much pain.
However, she could clearly feel that her ankles had been completely deformed.
Damn it... if this continues, I'm really going to die here.
Healing!
I'm going to give you everything I've got!!
No longer caring about anything else, Luo Li's hand instantly climbed up the Demon Emperor's arm and pulled forward with all her might.
Her body lunged a step forward.
Using every ounce of strength she possessed, she fiercely raised a leg!
Anti-harassment move number one: the groin kick!
Luo Li could clearly feel her healed calf sweeping past the Demon Emperor's front hem.
Then... on her shinbone, she distinctly felt it strike something soft.
Ding~
Although there was no actual sound from the kick, it seemed as if an unspeakable sound effect echoed in the ears of all three.
In an instant, the entire scene fell into a dead silence.
The Dragon King halted his punching motion and stared at the scene before him, stunned.
The Demon Emperor's entire body trembled, and he seemed to fall into an abyss of extreme agony.
His feminine face turned a deep, stifled red, and his eyes bulged as he stared at Luo Li.
However, Luo Li did not pause for a second.
Anti-harassment moves two and three: the toe stomp and the eye poke!
At some point, Luo Li's left hand had already gripped the Sword of Fidelity, while her right hand jabbed directly at the Demon Emperor's eyes.
In that split second, even though intense pain racked his body and made him go stiff, he still instinctively raised his hand to block the fingers coming for his face!
However, due to the sheer agony, his attention was focused entirely on Luo Li's fingers.
He did not see the Sword of Fidelity at all as it plunged straight toward his boot!
With a squelch, the Demon Emperor blocked Luo Li's right hand but failed to dodge the Sword of Fidelity stabbing into his right foot.
"Ugh!"
This time, Asacreus could no longer hold it in, and a cry of pain squeezed out of his throat.
But the only response he got was the girl's exquisite face and one more thing!
A wide, swinging slap.
Slap!!
This slap landed squarely and solidly on Asacreus's face.
Luo Li's delicate palm instantly turned a bright red.
Asacreus stared with wide eyes, his head snapping to the side from the force of the blow.
He raised his hand in disbelief, lightly touching his cheek.
The burning pain told him that none of this was an illusion.
Luo Li let out a long breath, finally venting the frustration from being punched in the liver earlier.
Then, she turned without hesitation and walked quickly behind the Dragon King.
She patted the stunned Dragon King Asfield and spoke sincerely.
"I'm satisfied now. I'll leave the rest to you."
Asfield stared blankly at the Demon Emperor, who had been kicked, stabbed, and slapped.
The entire dragon was a bit dazed.
He never expected that a dignified Demon Emperor would be stunned by a level ten-something newbie.
And these three moves... he had to admit they were underhanded tactics that he could never bring himself to use.
As a dragon, his prideful nature made him despise using such dirty methods.
At this moment, he suddenly began to wonder... was the girl behind him really a Saintess?
She was more like a witch, wasn't she?
Only a witch could use such insidious moves, right?
Seeing the Demon Emperor clutching his unmentionables in pain with a face full of confusion, Asfield felt a chill in his own lower regions and instinctively squeezed his legs together.
Too cruel!!
Too brutal!!
What kind of female acts like this?
Striking that spot so ruthlessly.
Are you even human?
Have some mercy!
"What are you standing there for? Hit him! Kill him while he's down!"
Luo Li patted her chest, feeling much better now.
The Demon Emperor's two punches earlier had made her eyes roll back and nearly killed her from the pain.
This kick, stab, and slap served as payback for those two punches.
However, she couldn't keep fighting.
Those three moves worked because they were unexpected, and the sequence was so fast the Demon Emperor didn't have time to react.
But if she continued, the moment the Demon Emperor regained his senses, it would be over.
He wouldn't need much.
He could tank her slap and return a single punch that would explode her head.
So, quitting while she was ahead was the best policy.
She had her revenge, and she was satisfied.
As for the rest... whatever happens, happens.
The Demon Emperor's stunned expression gradually shifted to a dark gloom.
His mouth slowly curled open, his eyes widened in fury, and veins popped on his temples!
His entire face was distorted into a hideous mask.
A voice filled with pain and resentment roared from his mouth!
"Luo Li!"
Part of the pain had faded, and this allowed him to fully snap back to his senses.
"You hit me, and I hit you. We're even. Don't use that tone with me. It's not like they're crushed; you can still use them after some rest."
The Dragon King's legs trembled at her words.
The Demon Emperor's entire body went stiff.
Meanwhile, the culprit behind it all walked obediently to a spot out of the way.
"Gentlemen, please continue."
In the next second, the Dragon King's golden pupils contracted sharply as the Demon Emperor's figure instantly transformed into a streak of black aura.
He went straight for Luo Li.
Asfield would not kick a man while he was down, but he would absolutely not let the Demon Emperor harm his ally right in front of him!
"Demon Emperor! Do not forget that I am still here!"
The Dragon King's figure instantly blocked the path in front of Luo Li, and the Demon Emperor emerged from the black mist.
With a hideous face and a roar that sounded almost insane, the Demon Emperor raised his greatsword and swung it down!
Seeing this, the Dragon King did not hesitate to draw his own golden greatsword and raise it to parry!
Boom!
Unlike the previous exchange where both sides were suppressing their power, the Demon Emperor was truly enraged this time!
"Get out of my way!!"
"Not a chance."
The Dragon King's brow furrowed tightly as he shoved his arm upward, knocking away the Demon Emperor's greatsword before throwing a kick.
The Demon Emperor was not to be outdone and kicked back at the same time.
Thud!!
At this moment, the furious Demon Emperor and the Dragon King, who felt a slight sense of pity, clashed once again.
Luo Li stood quietly on Black's back, watching the two fight.
Black continued to fly toward the coastline.
Once they reached the sea, it would be impossible for the Demon Emperor to pursue them even if he wanted to.
The Demon Emperor's aerial strength was far inferior to that of the dragon race.
Although the feathered serpents were powerful individually, their lack of numbers meant they could only watch as the dragons left.
By then, if the Demon Emperor still refused to give up, he would only be swarmed and killed by dozens of dragons.
However, the Demon Emperor did not want to give up.
The Dragon King and the Demon Emperor were locked in a stalemate, trading blows.
After this fierce struggle, both of their breaths became hurried.
Beads of sweat had even begun to appear on the Dragon King's forehead.
"Demon Emperor, give up. Look at the situation; we are already over the sea."
During their intense fight, Black had silently reached the coastline.
Not far away were the massive ice floes and the seven frost dragons soaring in the sky.
All around them were skysoar dragons; the Demon Emperor had almost no way to escape.
The situation had reversed in an instant!
"Heh... Luo Li, it seems you have successfully played me once again."
The Demon Emperor scanned his surroundings, his feminine face as dark as still water.
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, there is no need to be so polite. Come back again next time."
Luo Li smiled.
At this point, even if the Demon Emperor had more tricks up his sleeve, they would likely be in vain.
However... just as Luo Li thought this.
The Demon Emperor suddenly raised his hand, and a black aura erupted from his palm.
His mouth slowly curled into a cruel smile.
"I'm afraid... there won't be a next time."
What?
What was he going to do?
Luo Li's mind raced, and in the next second, it happened.
In the distant sky, the four feathered serpents opened their mouths almost simultaneously.
They completely ignored the attacks of the other dragons and aimed their serpent breath toward the Demon Emperor's position.
This is bad!!
When she saw the movements of those four feathered serpents, these words immediately jumped into Luo Li's mind.
She instinctively turned her head to shout a warning.
But it was too late.
Four massive black pillars of light traveled from the distance, appearing slow but moving incredibly fast... slamming violently onto Black's back!
Boom!
A golden figure suddenly appeared behind her.
That black radiance instantly swallowed the golden figure.
Everything in her vision was occupied by the black pillars of light in an instant.
The only thing left in her ears was a violent, deafening roar.
Her body seemed to lose all weight, becoming light and airy.
Her mind was a bit dazed, but she more or less understood... she had been blown away.
She didn't even have time to check her condition before she cast a healing art on herself.
Given the height at which Black was flying, even if she wasn't killed by the serpent breath, falling would be no different from suicide.
However, none of that mattered now.
Everything had happened too suddenly.
She could only hope that her Saintess's robe would hold up!
Splash!!
She didn't know how long she had been falling before a heavy sound of entering water reached her ears.
In that instant, her entire body felt as if it had been struck by a truck.
She could even clearly hear the brittle snaps of several ribs breaking.
Healing!!
Another use of the skill caused her ribs to return to normal instantly.
But the most critical point was... she seemed to have fallen into the sea!
She desperately tried to recall the swimming postures she had seen on television.
That was right; she was a non-swimmer.
In her past life, he couldn't swim.
In this life, she still couldn't swim.
She tried to remember those swimming motions, but under the massive waves of the typhoon, even an experienced diver would be instantly swallowed by the tide.
Let alone a newbie like her who didn't even know how to swim.
Gurgle~
Her legs kicked incessantly, but there seemed to be a massive undercurrent in the seawater that instantly sucked her in.
She was powerless to resist; the force of the undercurrent pushed her toward an unknown distance.
Looking at the slightly murky and dark seawater around her, Luo Li's feet struggled desperately, but it was useless.
Along with the unbearable struggle to hold her breath, the intense burning sensation in her lungs made her unable to stop herself from opening her mouth.
Gurgle!!
Bubbles instantly flew out of her mouth, and what followed was not the air her lungs needed.
Instead, it was bitter and freezing seawater.
Am I... going to die here?
Who would have thought.
She had imagined countless ways to die.
Maybe at the hands of the demon army.
Maybe by Dominica's sword.
Maybe by falling from the sky and turning into Saintess jam.
She had thought of every possibility, except for drowning... she hadn't considered it at all.
Her consciousness gradually began to blur, and everything before her eyes grew dark, becoming impossible to see clearly.
She knew this was visual darkness brought on by a lack of oxygen.
But she had no way out.
She couldn't swim, so she could only let the cold undercurrent carry her toward an unknown direction.
That was fine too.
Though it was quite painful.
At least this was better than dying at the hands of the demon army.
Gurgle...
Her limbs began to feel heavy, her consciousness grew fuzzy, and the burning in her lungs made her chest tremble incessantly.
Wrapped in the cold seawater, she slowly sank.
Her consciousness was already fading, and the entire world seemed to fall into darkness.
But just then, a glimmer of light seemed to appear before her eyes.
A strange, fishy stench suddenly entered her nasal cavity.
Wait, she could breathe?
The moment her mind registered this, her lungs suddenly convulsed.
Bitter seawater was forcibly pressed out of her windpipe.
With a spray of water, she spat it out and her vision suddenly returned.
Healing!
The skill was released once again, and a warm current flowed through her body.
Luo Li... finally opened her eyes and saw the ugly face in front of her.
Demons!?
About a dozen demons seemed to be staring at her in astonishment.
The demon closest to her suddenly had a smile on his face that felt both incredibly familiar and yet strange.
She vaguely remembered that when 'Luo Li Saint Sariel' fell, the demons seemed to have that exact expression.
Wait, is their target... me?
Rate on N.U.
