<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5696</h2>


    The third floor remained brightly lit, carrying Cen Biqing’s distinctive, faint fragrance.


    However, David could immediately tell that Cen Biqing was in poor condition.


    Her face was pale, her breath weak, and her once vibrant blue dress was now stained with wisps of ring ck energy, which seemed to be alive, constantly eroding her dragon essence and soul.


    She sat cross-legged on the ground, resisting with all her might. Seeing David arrive, her beautiful eyes first shed with surprise, then turned to anxiety.


    “Mr. Chen! Quickly! Inside the tower… the core of the tower’s seal has been triggered; it’s repelling and attacking all dragons!”


    Cen Biqing cried weakly.


    “What happened? Where’s Lao Hei?”


    David darted forward, his palm imbued with pure golden dragon energy, pressing it against Cen Biqing’s back to help her dispel the ck energy.


    “Old Hei is on the fourth floor; the situation is probably worse.”


    Cen Biqing, relieved of some pressure after receiving David’s help, said urgently, “Shortly after you leftst time, an ancient and angry will resounded within the tower.


    It used us of attracting outsiders and disturbing our slumber.


    Then, the restrictive power on each floor surged and began actively attacking us, the suppressed ones.


    This ck energy is the manifestation of the sealing power; it’s devouring our strength!”


    “An ancient will?”


    David’s heart sank. “Is it the spirit of the Demon-Suppressing Tower? Or…something from a higher level?”


    Just then, at the stairwell leading to the fourth floor, space distorted, and a sinister voice echoed: “Hehe, little Azure Dragon girl is right.


    Golden Dragon boy, you shouldn’t havee again. But since you’re here, leave your Golden Dragon bloodline behind!”


    Before the words were finished, a condensed, almost tangible ck dragon breath, carrying a terrifying power capable of corroding everything and freezing the soul, suddenly erupted from the stairwell, striking David directly in the back!


    The attack came suddenly and ruthlessly, its timing impable. It struck just as David was focused on healing Cen Biqing, his attention momentarily diverted!


    “Watch out!”


    Cen Biqing cried out in rm.David reacted with


    lightning speed, shoving Cen Biqing towards a safe corner. Simultaneously, he turned, his Dragon-ying Sword held horizontally in front of him, instantly activating the Five Elements Shield!


    Boom!


    The ck dragon breath mmed into the Five Elements Shield, unleashing a violent explosion! David shuddered violently, the shield flickering, and he was propelled backward several feet by the immense force. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he nearly vomited blood.


    The dark power contained within the dragon breath was actually trying to erode his meridians through the shield!


    “Who is it?”


    David stared coldly towards the stairwell.


    There, ck light converged, condensing into a small but jet-ck dragon shadow, its scales shimmering with metallic luster, its eyes bloodshot and filled with savagery.


    It wasn’t a physical entity, but rather formed from pure demonic energy and a dragon soul!


    “A demonic dragon?”


    David’s pupils contracted.


    This was a mutated branch of the dragon race, fallen into demonic ways, cruel in nature, and taking pleasure in devouring the bloodlines of other dragons.


    “Tsk tsk, as expected of the Golden Dragon bloodline, truly a great tonic.”


    The Demon Dragon Soul licked its lips, its greed intensifying. “I’ve been imprisoned in this dark and sunless tower for countless years, and today I can finally have some meat! If I eat you, perhaps I can break through this damned seal!”


    It turned out that this Demon Dragon Soul was also suppressed in the Demon Suppression Tower. Sensing David’s Golden Dragon aura, it didn’t hesitate to expend its soul source to forcibly break through part of the restrictions andunch a sneak attack!


    “Want to eat me? I’m afraid you don’t have such good teeth!”


    David suppressed his surging blood and qi, pointing his Dragon-ying Sword at the Demon Dragon Soul, his fighting spirit rising.


    He realized that this rescue mission was far more dangerous than he had imagined!


    Inside this Demon Suppression Tower, there were not only imprisoned individuals, but also such a malicious being!


    The Demon Dragon Soul roared, no longer wasting words, and transformed into a ck lightning bolt


    , rushing towards David! It was extremely fast, its ws tearing through the air with a piercing shriek.
