Chapter 181: Guild War!

Tianyu Guild Headquarters.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the top-floor office, Sun Tian stood with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the drizzle outside the window, he knitted his brows tightly, and the feeling of unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Li Qiu had been gone for so long; logically speaking, he should have returned long ago.

Even if he had encountered trouble, there should have been some news sent back.

But now, there was complete silence.

This was not normal.

"Someone come."

He spoke in a deep voice.

A subordinate wearing the guild uniform quickly pushed open the door and lowered his head respectfully.

"Guild Leader, what are your orders?"

"Send someone to check where Li Qiu is right now."

"Yes!"

The subordinate acknowledged the order and quickly withdrew.

In less than ten minutes, that subordinate returned once more, his expression somewhat peculiar.

"Guild Leader, I've found out."

"Someone saw Lord Li Qiu riding a Silver Dragon and heading towards the direction outside the city."

"Out of the city?"

Sun Tian suddenly turned around, the confusion in his eyes deepening.

"In the middle of the night, what is he going out of the city for?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Luo Ming's cry for help, Li Qiu's loss of contact—all of this exuded an eerie vibe.

"Hei Ming, Peng Cang!"

Sun Tian shouted toward outside the door.

Two figures walked in quickly, one on the left and one on the right.

The person on the left had a robust build and a rugged face; he was precisely Peng Cang, the bald, stout man who had been instantly killed by Yasuo outside the Shadow Swamp Demon Cave earlier.

The person on the right was slender and had a gloomy expression, resembling a venomous snake lurking in the darkness—he was Hei Ming, another core high-ranking member of the guild.

"Pass the word down, gather our men."

Sun Tian's voice allowed no room for questioning.

"We're going out of the city to take a look!"

"Yes!"

…

Half an hour later.

Outside the city gates of Donghai City, a team of more than fifty people assembled in the rainy night.

Sun Tian, who was at the lead, straddled a ferocious Terrestrial Dragon Beast, his expression as gloomy as water.

A scout responsible for reconnaissance hurried over to report.

"Guild Leader! Lord Li Qiu's location has been locked onto!"

"Right in the Old City District!"

"The Old City District?"

Sun Tian nodded and waved his big hand.

"Everyone, follow me!"

The mighty procession marched toward that long-abandoned urban district.

Before they even got close, everyone could already hear the bursts of dragon roars coming from afar, along with that familiar, violent energy fluctuation.

"This energy…"

Peng Cang's face showed a trace of astonishment and suspicion.

"It's Li Qiu's Dragon Breath! He seems… to be fighting fiercely with someone!"

Sun Tian's expression changed, and he immediately gave the order.

"Peng Cang, take a team inside first and check out the situation!"

"Yes!"

Peng Cang nodded in agreement, immediately picked a dozen elites, and prepared to charge into the territory of the Old City District.

Just at this moment.

Several figures, like ghosts, slowly walked out from the shadows on both sides of the road, blocking their path.

These people were all wearing uniform black martial attires. On their chests, a silver crescent moon emblem emitted a chilling light in the dim rainy night.

Seeing this, Peng Cang knitted his brows and came to a halt.

He sized up these steady-Aura fellows in front of him, his tone unkind.

"What kind of people are you?"

"Daring to block the path of our Tianyu Guild, do you want to die?"

The leader of them was expressionless, his voice as cold as a block of ice.

"This road is impassable."

"The Old City District has been blockaded by our Eternal Night Guild, and no one is allowed to enter."

"Eternal Night Guild?"

Hearing this, Peng Cang acted as if he had heard some cosmic joke.

"A small guild that was just established a few days ago, what a big mouth you have!"

He slammed the giant axe he was carrying on his shoulder down onto the ground, emitting a muffled thud.

"I'll count to three, get lost for me immediately!"

"Otherwise, don't blame the axe in my hand for not recognizing people!"

However, those Eternal Night Guild members still stood in place, unmoved, without the slightest bit of fear on their faces.

"Our Guild Leader has an order."

The leader spoke again, his tone still icy.

"Anyone is forbidden to enter."

"I don't care what Tianyu or Diyu you are, absolutely not!"

"You fucking…"

Peng Cang was furious, the energy within his body instantly running wild, and he raised his battle axe to strike.

Just at this moment, Sun Tian also rushed over with the main force.

He glanced at the two opposing sides and asked with a frown, "What's going on?"

Peng Cang pointed at those people opposite and said fiercely, "Guild Leader! These lunatics from the Eternal Night Guild blocked the road and won't let us pass!"

Sun Tian's gaze swept across those Eternal Night Guild members, finally landing on the silver moon emblems on their chests.

He flipped down from his dragon and took a few steps forward, his voice resonant.

"There are people from our Tianyu Guild inside the Old City District."

"We must go in."

"If you Eternal Night Guild insist on stopping us, then don't blame us for being impolite!"

With that said, the more than fifty Tianyu Guild members behind him simultaneously pressed forward by a step.

A powerful Aura instantly shrouded this area.

Facing this pressure, those Eternal Night Guild members still kept their expressions unchanged, their figures standing straight like pine trees.

Seeing that a conflict was on the verge of breaking out.

"Hold on!"

A crisp female voice suddenly rang out from the darkness not far away.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

They saw a slender young girl, also wearing the uniform of the Eternal Night Guild, leading a few subordinates as she slowly walked over.

It was precisely Moli.

She walked straight up to Sun Tian, slightly bowed, neither servile nor overbearing.

"Greetings, Chairman Sun."

"Let me introduce myself, I am the Guild Leader of the Eternal Night Guild, Moli."

Sun Tian looked at the young girl in front of him, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

"You are the Guild Leader of the Eternal Night Guild?"

"I didn't expect you to be so young."

His words changed abruptly, and his tone turned sharp.

"Since the Guild Leader has arrived in person, then let's not beat around the bush."

"What on earth do you Eternal Night Guild mean?"

"Do you intend to formally declare war against our Tianyu Guild?"

Facing the questioning from the Guild Leader of the number one guild in Donghai City, Moli still wore a polite smile on her face.

"Chairman Sun exaggerates."

"Our Eternal Night Guild has no intention of making an enemy out of the Tianyu Guild."

She paused for a moment and continued speaking.

"It's just that our Vice Guild Leader and Mr. Li Qiu from your esteemed guild have some personal grievances that need to be resolved."

"They do not wish for outsiders to disturb the battle between them."

"I hope Chairman Sun can understand."

"I cannot understand!"

Without even thinking, Sun Tian directly shook his head.

"I don't care what grievances you have; Li Qiu and Luo Ming are both my people."

"I must ensure their safety!"

Hearing this, the smile on Moli's face gradually converged.

"Since that's the case…"

"Then our Eternal Night Guild has no choice but to offend you."

"I'd like to see what skills you have!"

Peng Cang could no longer hold himself back. With a loud roar, wielding his giant axe, he rushed forward first.

"Do it!"

Sun Tian also issued the command.

The troops of both sides instantly clashed into a chaotic battle!

…

Meanwhile, inside the Old City District.

"Roar——!"

The huge Silver Dragon let out an angry roar, continuously spitting out devastating Dragon Breath from its mouth, chasing after that flash of thunderous light weaving through the ruins.

Large swathes of buildings were turned into powder under the Dragon Breath, and the blazing flames illuminated the rainy night brightly.

Controlling the Silver Dragon, Li Qiu spat out Dragon Breath faster and faster, and even began to anticipate Yasuo's teleportation landing points to carry out blockade-style strikes.

Seeing this, Zhou Huai no longer hesitated.

A thought flickered in his mind.

"[Wind Wings]!"

Two huge wings formed purely from wind elements suddenly unfolded from behind Yasuo!

With a gentle flap of the wings, his body shot straight into the sky like an arrow leaving a bowstring, instantly pulling a distance of hundreds of meters away from the Silver Dragon.

"You can actually fly too?!"

From the mouth of the Silver Dragon came Li Qiu's astonished voice.

"Let's see how long you can hide!"

With a roar, his huge dragon wings flapped violently, carrying a heaven-destroying and earth-shattering Aura as he pursued Yasuo high up in the sky.

One dragon and one person unfolded a thrilling aerial chase amidst the torrential rain and howling wind.

Yasuo's speed was astonishingly fast; every time he flapped his wings, he could leave behind trails of afterimages in the air.

Every time the Silver Dragon spat out Dragon Breath, it narrowly brushed past his body, yet it could never manage to hit him.

The more Li Qiu chased, the more alarmed he became.

This guy's flight speed was actually a fraction faster than his own!

He could only watch helplessly as the opponent continuously circled around him in the skies above the Old City District.

"Bastard! What kind of skill is it to just keep running?!"

Li Qiu roared irritably.

"If you have the guts, fight me head-on!"

High up in the sky, Zhou Huai controlled Yasuo, and upon hearing these words, a cold smile hooked the corners of his mouth.

Fight you head-on?

Fight a monster whose HP was in the unknown tens of thousands head-on?

My brain hasn't been kicked by a donkey.

Zhou Huai was very clear that this Body Integration state between Li Qiu and the Silver Dragon could definitely not last long.

The more powerful a skill was, the greater its restrictions and consumption would be.

What he needed to do was stall.

Stall until the opponent's Body Integration time ended.

By that time, it would be the moment for his counterattack.

Indeed, just as Zhou Huai had expected.

Seeing that he still couldn't hit Yasuo, Li Qiu became increasingly impatient.

The Dragon Breath began to be spat out indiscriminately, with no method or reason to speak of.

Soon, that huge Silver Dragon began to breathe heavily, and its flight speed also slowed down by half a beat obviously.

"Damn it! All you know is running!"

Li Qiu cursed, seemingly realizing that chasing any further was just futile.

"I'm not playing with you anymore!"

Having said that, he actually turned the dragon's head around, flapping its wings, and flew toward the outside of the Old City District.

Seeing this, a meaningful smile appeared on Zhou Huai's face.

Want to run?

Isn't it a bit too late to want to run now?

The Silver Dragon's massive body quickly flew to the edge of the Old City District.

However, the exact moment it was about to rush out of this area.

"Boom——!"

Its huge dragon head seemed to crash into an invisible wall, emitting a deafening, massive sound.

A semi-transparent light curtain covered with profound runes emerged at the point of impact, rippling violently.

The Silver Dragon was hit dizzy by this huge rebound force, and its massive body uncontrollably flew backward.

It steadied its figure, and within those huge dragon eyes was filled with an expression of sheer disbelief.

"Th-this… how can there be a trapping formation here?!"
