"Cough cough cough ——!"

After landing, Bexia felt the pain and groaned from every part of his body. His hands were covered in bloodstains, and he even felt that his arm bones had broken.

However, Bexia couldn't care about his own condition right now. What he cared more about was Christine's situation. Just now, when they resisted the attack of the Black Dragon's Shadow, although he also participated, it was actually Christine who truly resisted the Black Dragon's Shadow. Especially in the end, Christine stood in front of Bexia, taking most of the impact for him.

"Christine, are you okay?!" Bexia looked at Christine, who had fallen beside him, and, enduring the pain, picked her up from the ground. However, before he could finish speaking, Christine had already turned into a light spot and returned to the mark on Bexia's hand. But she sent a thought lastly, indicating that she was fine.

Bexia felt a little relieved, but the pain in his body caused him to cough violently. The Black Dragon's Shadow, which had been successfully blocked once in the sky, did not give them any rest. It came charging at them once again without hesitation. Its immense magical power seemed to approach like a great mountain.

"Insolence!"

"Radiant Skyfall!"

Just when everyone felt despair, a voice rang out from the darkness. Instantly, the magical power surged, and a huge flame fell from the sky, like a curtain, blocking the Black Dragon's attack.

"Black Flame, dormant in the Ground Furnace, respond to my call and awaken from the earth!"

"Hell's Hand!"

The flame elements rapidly condensed in the air, forming a small elemental storm. Visible ripples spread through the air, and the earth suddenly shook as if something huge was about to burst out from beneath?

With a burst of flames rushing into the sky, a gigantic black-purple flame hand suddenly reached out from underground. It looked like a ghostly claw reaching out from hell, burning flames yet exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

Under the Hell's Hand, the Black Dragon's Shadow was like a small kitten, helplessly being held in the palm of the hand. Even though it struggled fiercely, its thick magical shield, several meters thick, could not resist the power of the Hell's Hand.

"Boom!" The several meters thick magical shield only held on for a few breaths before turning into pieces. Along with the shield breaking, the Black Dragon's Shadow was firmly caught by the Hell's Hand and couldn't even last a single breath before it was crushed by the Hell's Hand.

This sudden scene shocked many people. The strength of the Black Dragon's Shadow was there for everyone to see. Those who could fight against it were at least on the level of kings. To defeat it with just one move, that person would at least need to be a king, and a very powerful one at that.

Listening to the voice behind him, Bexia already knew that the person who had arrived was Bor. He just didn't expect this usually unreliable guy to be so powerful. He had never seen Bor take action before, but this time he truly saw his strength.

"Kid, couldn't die, huh?!" Although Bor's words seemed unconcerned, his actions were not slow at all. He threw several restorative potions over. These were valuable items. One was enough to restore him. Naturally, Bor meant for the others to have some as well. Currently, apart from the incapacitated Long Momo, Bexia was the only one still conscious. After all, the Black Dragon's Shadow was too strong. Even a trace of its aftermath could not be resisted by them.

"Why didn't you make a move earlier, Old Master?! Do I have to be beaten to death before you act? Then you'll have no disciple left!" Bexia drank the potion, and his injuries visibly began to heal at a rapid speed, even the broken bones.

"You may be thinking well, but have you ever considered why I had to wait until now to make a move?!" Bor shook his head. This matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. If it wasn't for Bexia becoming the target of the Black Dragon's Shadow, he wouldn't want to get involved in this mess.

"This is an internal affair of their church. If I interfere, things won't be the same!" Another person spoke ambiguously in a low voice to Bexia.

How could he not know about the Dragon God Church of Anzu Kingdom's internal affairs? This kind of matter was not something he was willing to get involved in. Moreover, he had just sensed a powerful aura, one of the three giants of the Dragon God Church. They were the top powerhouses on the continent, existing like ancient monsters. It was said that each of them had lived for thousands of years, living alongside his ancestor Tutankhamun-Asman. However, he didn't know why they had a lifespan that surpassed that of kings and lived for so long.Their strength can be said to be able to suppress the existence of the mainland, but after reaching that level, they no longer care about such things. Therefore, these people have already transcended beyond the church. However, for some reason, this old monster actually appeared this time, which is thought-provoking.

"The Dragon God Church is deep. I suggest you not get involved in this mess and come back with me to study magic!" Bor said.

"You go back and study by yourself! I don't like staying in the research room all day... And I have already promised to accompany Sis Dragon back. I trust her!" Bexia decisively rejected Bor's proposal. This old guy is always thinking about these things, and she doesn't like dealing with them.

"Alright then! But be careful and if anything happens, mention my name. They will still give some face!" Bor warned. "After you go to Anzu, be careful not to cause any trouble. Don't come crying back to me then!"

Bor waved his hand towards the sky and the giant flame hand instantly dissipated. A black light flew towards him following his gesture, which was the reverted Black Dragon Jade.

"Zooom—!"

"It's better for BorDean to keep the Black Dragon Jade. After all, it belongs to our Dragon God Church!" Long Momo's weak voice came from behind. She stood up, looking directly at Bor without fear of his status as a king.

"We can return it to you, but the Dragon God Church needs to give an explanation to the kingdom and me. After all, the matter has caused a great uproar and the kingdom has suffered losses. Furthermore, it almost cost the life of my disciple..."

"You can rest assured about this, Dean. The church will make compensation that satisfies you. Please leave the Black Dragon Jade behind!" Long Momo's tone became firm. The matter regarding the Black Dragon Jade was of great importance, so she had to be this way.

"Teacher..." Bexia glanced at Long Momo, then at Bor. She chose to stand with Long Momo, who was in a disadvantaged position.

"You, standing on that side, are you so shameless when you have a woman by your side?!" Bor angrily threw the Black Dragon Jade to Bexia. He wasn't really angry, just secretly resenting that this disciple didn't cooperate. Otherwise, he would have taken the opportunity to extort a sum from the Dragon God Church. After all, the valuable items in the hands of this ancient church were really tempting!

However, no one expected that the Black Dragon Jade, casually thrown to Bexia by Bor, suddenly had a problem. A small shadow of a black dragon suddenly appeared when it touched Bexia's palm and rushed into his body. As for Bexia himself, his vision darkened and he lost consciousness.
