X-Dragon Era

After learning what Ming Xuan's berserk button was, these three jerks were like flies smelling blood. On days when they were in a foul mood, they would drag Ming Xuan over and curse him out. If they still weren't satisfied, they would switch to talking about Ming Xuan's mother. As a result, Ming Xuan would predictably lose it and challenge them to a fight, only to be viciously beaten up again. Through beating Ming Xuan, these bullies finally gained a twisted form of release, but who could Ming Xuan turn to for relief from his pain?

At this moment, the three of them were flying towards this area. Seeing them, Ming Xuan was struck with terror and, not daring to let Mother Lan continue to tidy up, steered the Peacock Dragon sharply downward in a dive. He skimmed close to the ground, rushing towards Mother Lan, and snatched her up into the air, settling her onto the Peacock Dragon. Then they sped off in the direction of Mountain Sea City.

"Humph! Think you can run away..." Just as they appeared above the forest, a cold snort followed, and three dark figures swooped over to intercept Ming Xuan, looking ominously at him.

Ming Xuan took a deep breath and, without a word to them, made a sharp turn with the Peacock Dragon, attempting to bypass them. Unfortunately, the adversaries were clearly prepared; they swiftly moved again and blocked Ming Xuan's path with ease.

"Heh heh..." With a sinister smile, the ringleader said disgustingly, "Kid, why the rush to flee upon seeing us? After all, weren't we classmates and companions? Don't you even greet us? Do you fucking look down on us?" Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire

Just as he said this, the leader suddenly froze, his eyes widening and his mouth gaping open stupidly as he looked at Mother Lan cradled in Ming Xuan's arms and said, "God! No wonder you started running when you saw us. Turns out... you've got a beauty to keep you company!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guy on the left chuckled sinisterly, "Ming Xuan, that's really low of you, hiding such a pretty lady and not sharing the fun with us. I'm really angry, and there will be serious consequences!"

"Yeah, yeah..." The bully on the right nodded vigorously and shouted, "That's right, we're really angry. But, considering you were once our classmate, just hand over the girl to us now, and we'll let you off this time."

"Heh heh..." Hearing this, the leader sneered lewdly and stroked his chin, "What a beautiful scenery here, with lush green grass and flowers blooming everywhere. Haha... We three brothers are so lucky. Today, we're in for a treat. What do you say... How about a wild party here, lasting a whole day and night?"

"Sweat..." Upon hearing the boss's words, the guy on the left wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Boss, if we really go wild for a whole day and night, will this chick still be alive? We might just drill through her!"

"Ah hahaha..." At this, the three disgustingly evil jerks burst into raucous laughter.

Looking at the three scumbags opposite him, Ming Xuan was beyond furious, but now was not the time to lose his cool. With Mother Lan by his side, he had to leave this place as quickly as possible. What happened to him didn't matter, but if Mother Lan fell into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginably more tragic than death itself—a thousand times worse!

Begging for mercy was futile. Ming Xuan knew that the more he begged, the more excited these jerks would get, and the more sadistic they would become. Now, escaping as soon as possible was the only way out.

In a flash of thought, Ming Xuan clenched his teeth tightly without responding, and drove the Peacock Dragon to dive into the forest below. Seeing this, the three bullies shouted angrily, "He even thinks he can escape! Guys... take him down! I'm going to make him watch as I ravage the chick!"

"Roger that!" With an excited response, the three dragons scattered instantly in three directions, surrounding Ming Xuan, and a barrage of attacks whistled downwards upon him.

Steering the Peacock Dragon, Ming Xuan's expression was deadly serious. Despite the grave danger, he couldn't afford to panic. No matter what, he couldn't screw up this time, or he would never be able to forgive himself.

Controlling the Peacock Dragon, Ming Xuan flew close to the treetops. Only by doing so could he possibly avoid a concerted attack. After all, not everyone had such exquisite dragon-riding skills. A momentary lapse could lead to a collision with a giant tree, and with the speed and weight of a dragon, the damage from such a collision would definitely be no small matter.

Ming Xuan's skills were indeed up to par, but the three adversaries were synchronized and had considerable strength. Their coordinated attack was not seamless, but it was as quick and fluid as mercury.

A volley of intensive attacks rained down on Ming Xuan like a storm. Despite his best efforts to dodge, at such close range and under the density of the attacks, it was impossible to avoid them all. In an instant, Ming Xuan was hit by a succession of blows.

Under normal circumstances, such attacks wouldn't mean much; they'd cause injury but wouldn't be fatal. However, now, as Ming Xuan was very close to the treetops, a direct hit threw him off balance. He crashed into a large tree below.

"Crack... crack... boom!" Clutching Mother Lan tightly, the Peacock Dragon broke through two giant trees before it finally slammed into a third one and rebounded to the ground. The massive Peacock Dragon shook violently, teetering on the brink of collapse.

"Hahaha..." The next moment, the three pieces of scum caught up. After circling in the air above the Peacock Dragon for a few rounds, they stopped overhead and looked down at Ming Xuan and Mother Lan on the dragon's back. The leader, with a wave of his hand, exclaimed excitedly, "Brothers, what are you waiting for? Quickly grab that chick for me!"
