Chapter 391 Three Against One?

In such a place, Su Ming did not believe that the sudden encounter with two powerful figures, the sorcerer Saxon and the Icefield Nightmare Leoni, was merely a coincidence.

He recalled that before the Battle of the Holy Mountain, Catherine had mentioned to him that Leonie was looking for him and Violet, as if she had something to say.

"Mr. Leonie, is there something you need from us?" Su Ming asked.

“Yes.” Leonie’s lips curled up strangely as he turned his gaze to the sorcerer Saxon on the other side. “Why don’t we deal with him first, and then we can talk in detail?”

"Sure, we also have something we wanted to ask you about," Su Ming replied readily.

"Wait!" Saxon's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Concealment and disguise are his greatest trump cards and reliance. Against Su Ming and Zi Jin, he could still use this cunning to maneuver like a cat playing with a mouse. However, against Leonie, the forest ranger known for his tracking skills, the situation would instantly reverse.

He became the mouse that couldn't escape, while the other side was the cat in control!
Saxon immediately raised his hands and shouted urgently, "I'm not fighting anymore! I'm surrendering!"

Violet raised her staff, unleashing a powerful binding spell that descended upon the sorcerer. But Saxon reacted with lightning speed, dodging the attack and simultaneously unleashing his own domain—'Shadow Chaos'!
The surrounding senses suddenly became chaotic and distorted, as if falling into a kaleidoscope. This is precisely the simple and brutal nature of the Trickster's domain: pure and powerful interference!
"Your surrender is utterly devoid of any sincerity!" Zi Jin sneered, her words laced with sarcasm.

Without hesitation, she raised her staff, and a simplified version of 'Hexagram Meteor Shower' immediately began to charge. A blazing aura of magical energy gathered and compressed at the tip of the staff, radiating a chilling wave. Compared to the world-destroying 'Hexagram Divine Decree,' this spell, while significantly weaker in power and range, boasted superior speed and responsiveness!
Saxon was completely panicked. In a pure magical duel, even if he had ten lives, there was absolutely no way he could defeat Violet!
“Lioni!” he almost roared, “What good will it do you to help them?!—No matter how much they offer, I’ll double it! No, five times it!”

“I’m sorry.” Leonie’s tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority. He calmly drew his bow and nocked an arrow. “I don’t actually have much longer to live. My whole family, especially my incredibly stupid brother, will need someone to take care of them after I’m gone.”

“I can also take care of your territory and family!” Saxon shouted hastily.

"Based on your infamous reputation that resounds throughout the world?" Leoni asked coldly. "Do you even believe that yourself?" Before he finished speaking, he released his grip, and the arrow flew from the bow.

At first glance, the arrow seemed slow, even somewhat weak and lacking in power. However, the moment it was released, the last shred of hope in Saxony's heart vanished.

"A deadly arrow!"

Saxon stomped his feet on the ground and retreated with lightning speed. More afterimages appeared and flickered around him, while his hands flew up and down, scattering countless small balls in all directions.

Bang bang bang!
The small balls exploded one after another, sending up thick, sticky plumes of smoke that not only obscured vision but also severely interfered with the perception of magic.

However, all of this was in vain. Leonie's arrow ignored all obstacles, accurately bypassing all deceptive illusions and interference, firmly locking onto Saxon's true form, following him like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing him.

In the air, Violet's fully charged "Hexagonal Meteor Shower" followed the trajectory of the arrow and suddenly transformed into a devastating meteor shower, shooting towards Saxony!

All the evasive skills the sorcerer relied on were based on illusions, misdirection, and other unpredictable techniques. Now, locked firmly in the Ranger's "Deadly Arrow," all his tricks were rendered useless. Even worse, the "Natural Rhythm" domain, which had silently enveloped the battlefield, sealed away most spells that relied on distorted laws and opportunistic tactics.

Saxon had no choice but to muster all his magical power to create the strongest shield and use the most primitive method to withstand the violet's attack.

boom--!
The violent magical turbulence collided and surged, instantly unleashing a raging energy shockwave. The surrounding houses crumbled and disintegrated like paper, with shattered metal components, bricks, tiles, and filth scattered and flying everywhere as the violent shockwave swept them up.

As the magical smoke dissipated, Saxon's short figure reappeared, glaring at Leonie with intense resentment.

****
Although they were unclear about the specific changes that had occurred, Su Ming and Zi Jin decided not to delay any longer and that they had to resolve the matter quickly.

Leoni nocked another arrow, the bowstring fully drawn, aimed at Saxony, and another deadly "death arrow" was ready to be fired.

"Fuck you!" Saxon cursed furiously, no longer caring about his image, and frantically fled backward. Violet followed closely, her staff glowing again as she began to charge up another "Hexagonal Meteor Explosion," the deadly threat relentlessly pressing in.

Seeing the battle suddenly escalate, the goblins who had been watching the spectacle were terrified and fled like ants whose nest had been disturbed! During a break in the pursuit, Violet cast 'Shadow Shock' through double casting.

The shockwave, like an invisible whip, drove the goblins far away, completely extinguishing Saxony's attempt to use the crowd as human shields.

However, something strange happened suddenly!

The "deadly arrow" that had been relentlessly pursuing Saxony vanished in mid-air without warning, its lock suddenly released!

Violet seemed to have anticipated this. Her senses seamlessly connected the moment the arrow dissipated, firmly locking onto the fleeing figure ahead—at such close range, even a sorcerer would find it difficult to escape her sensory lock!

But the next moment, Violet's expression changed drastically! In her perception, the figure fleeing in a disheveled state was no longer the sorcerer Saxon.

That was clearly another master-level goblin expert!
"not good!"

Alarm bells rang in Zi Jin's mind. Without hesitation, she abandoned her target, her staff's light dimmed, and her body was thrown back as if struck by a heavy blow.

****
The moment the 'Death-Chasing Arrow' dissipated, Su Ming, who had been on high alert, already had his gun in hand and stood firmly in front of the ranger Leonie!
“Excuse me,” Su Ming’s voice was icy, “I also have a little knowledge of archery. Would you like to have a contest with this ‘bow’ in my hand?”

He had remained motionless, waiting for this very moment. Leonie's appearance could be interpreted as him seeking something, or it could also be seen as him being in cahoots with the sorcerer Saxon! Everything the sorcerer had orchestrated today was to lure him and Violet here!
Therefore, he was not at all surprised to see Leonie suddenly appear and to see the ranger suddenly turn against him.

Su Ming just didn't understand why this sudden counterattack seemed... to be of little significance?
However, Leonie suddenly grinned, revealing a smile that looked eerie to humans. His form instantly shrank and distorted—in the blink of an eye, the cunning and ferocious face of the green goblin replaced the ranger's!

"Very good!" Su Ming's eyes narrowed dangerously, a cold glint flashing within them.

It turns out that the one who lured Violet away was another goblin expert! Because they were under the strong interference of the Trickster's "Shadow Chaos" domain, they failed to see through this clumsy but effective disguise!

That chaotic "Death-Chasing Arrow" performance, the sorcerer's self-inflicted injury... it was all meticulously planned! And the core purpose of all this was to create the current situation—to leave Su Ming alone to face a Saint-level expert!
For the first time, Su Ming experienced being outmaneuvered by the enemy on a tactical level!
The sorcerer Saxon, revealing his true form, grinned maliciously as he drew a poisoned dagger and pounced on Su Ming like a venomous snake! If he succeeded in killing Su Ming, the Chestnut Owl, which was closely connected to him through the bone mark, would surely suffer a fatal blow!

With the double kill against the two opponents within reach, Saxon could almost see the mountain of hefty rewards and a bright, promising future beckoning him.

****
But the next moment, the sky collapsed.

The sky literally collapsed. Not only the roof of the dilapidated tea stall above his head, but also the surrounding ruins of buildings that were already teetering on the brink of collapse in the previous magical shockwave, were all trampled and crushed by an overwhelming force in the same instant!
Twenty-four feet covered in silver scales descended from the sky like a mountain collapsing, followed by a violent gale whipped up by the flapping of huge dragon wings, sweeping everything away!
Su Ming immediately retreated a distance, coldly observing as those majestic silver behemoths—the "fathers" with twenty-four legs—completely surrounded the pitiful, now incredibly insignificant goblin sorcerer in the very center.

The Silver Dragon Guard has indeed left—but their departure doesn't mean they can't be called back immediately!

As soon as he confirmed that he had encountered a powerful enemy, the Trickster, Su Ming sent Qi Luo to chase after the Silver Dragon Guard at top speed. The reason was simple: he wanted to treat them to braised pork rice for lunch.

Having a dragon and not using it? That would be foolish!

The trickster Saxon was completely dumbfounded. He had calculated his opponent's reaction and psychology, and used Leonie's "exposure" to lure Su Ming, but he had not anticipated this completely unreasonable and extremely tyrannical outcome.

Even a Saint-level expert would never entertain the absurd notion of fighting against twelve adult silver dragons.

Saxon's "Shadow Chaos" domain not only powerfully interfered with the enemy's perception, but also severely hampered his own perception abilities!

So much so that he was completely unaware of the arrival of this enormous group of creatures!
"Su Ming, are you really treating us to braised pork rice?" One of the silver dragons lowered its head, its huge golden vertical pupils looking at Su Ming curiously, its rumbling voice making the air buzz.

“That’s right!” Su Ming responded loudly, pointing to the small black dot surrounded in the middle, “Once I catch this goblin, I’ll make arrangements as soon as I get back!”

Only then did the silver dragons notice that there was indeed a tiny "little guy" scurrying around in terror beneath their feet. Their curiosity was immediately replaced by another interest—one of the silver dragons happily lifted its large, oil-bucket-like jade foot and stepped down without hesitation.

Saxon gritted his teeth, spotted a relatively weak spot, and unleashed his most powerful, trump card-like dash. His figure instantly transformed into an elusive, blurry line, leaving only a faint afterimage before vanishing completely.

He made a series of ghostly zigzag changes of direction, squeezing through the gaps between those dragon legs that resembled giant pillars, and was about to break out of this terrifying encirclement.

Snapped!
A huge dragon wing, covered in hard silver scales, slapped him across like a fly, sending him flying back like a pebble.

Thanks to the powerful defense of his shield, Saxon was almost unharmed. But physical momentum doesn't care about that; no matter how strong his defense was, he couldn't withstand the impact of those terrifying wings and could only tumble and crash back to his original spot in a sorry state.

Beside him, another enormous silver foot rose and stomped down heavily!
Saxon's face changed drastically this time, and he was terrified. He gritted his teeth, changed direction, and charged forward again, almost breaking out of the "forest of thighs".

However, the silver dragon waiting on the other side elegantly flicked its tail, and the dragon tail, like a giant steel whip, swept across with a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, once again lashing him back into the center of the encirclement.

Even in the national football team's matches, it would be quite difficult to lose a goal if twelve defenders were to block one ball, let alone the silver dragons who can freely use their wings and tails.

The sorcerer Saxon, a Saint-level powerhouse renowned for his cunning and escape abilities, was instantly plunged into an abyss of utter despair!
****
Zijin rushed back at full speed, her heart pounding with anxiety. When she saw Su Ming standing safely on the outside, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease.

"We...we were a bit too careless this time." She walked to Su Ming's side, whispering with lingering fear, her fingers unconsciously tightening their grip on her staff. "Just thinking about that scene is terrifying. I can't even imagine the consequences..."

Su Ming shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of deep reflection, "It's my fault. Even though I knew the other party was a cunning sorcerer, I still let my guard down."

Meanwhile, the silver dragons were getting increasingly excited and having a great time. They had been itching to participate in the football matches at the Pansy Sports Meet, which they had watched earlier. Now, they finally had the chance to join in themselves.

Moreover, this "ball" is exceptionally sturdy and durable; it won't break even after being stepped on several times!

So the dragons stomped even harder, their huge feet rising and falling like a tap dance that shook the earth.

At first, the "ball" struggled fiercely, trying to break free from the gaps in the dragon's legs. But soon, under the relentless and immense force of the blows, the shield's light flickered and dimmed, eventually shattering completely.

Without the protection of its shield, the "ball" was finally trampled under the foot of a silver dragon. Accompanied by the clearly audible sound of bones cracking and a shrill scream, a mouthful of blood gushed from Saxon's mouth.

"Hey! Don't step on it! It's a red card!" Silver Dragon next to him quickly reminded him.
