Chapter 361 Back to the Past
"Did it work?"
Seeing the black dragon rolling on the ground, spitting out blood and mud, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but show a look of joy.
"But Natsumi is still inside it..." Shiina Mahiru said with concern.
"With Black Dragon like this, Natsuo will definitely be alright," Yukino Yukinoshita comforted him.
"Trust Natsuo, he's that good," Yui Yuigahama added.
"Yeah, that's true." Shiina Mahiru thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
"But I really didn't expect Xia Sheng to run into the black dragon's belly. He's too bold." Ritsu Tainaka said with lingering fear.
She was terrified when she saw Xia Sheng suddenly dive into the black dragon's mouth.
He didn't tell them.
If it weren't for the calm expressions on Yukinoshita and the others' faces, she really wouldn't know what to do.
"He always goes all out, but that's all he can do to deal with the Black Dragon." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled gently, a hint of pride in her smile.
Xia Sheng works so hard, all for them.
"Now that the black dragon is dealt with, we can go back to our normal lives."
77
"Yeah, I wish this black dragon was the final boss."
I really hope so...
'
"By the way, why hasn't Xia Sheng come out yet?"
Yukino and the others couldn't answer Shiina Mahiru's question, since they didn't know the situation inside either.
Xia Sheng did not initiate any spiritual communication with them at all.
But for some reason, they felt a little uneasy.
Xia Sheng had also figured it out: after destroying the black dragon's stomach, it could no longer move normally, so all that was left was to slowly grind it down to death.
But he came out.
Black Dragon writhed on the ground in agony, his body churning violently. He rolled around with him, not even knowing where he was.
It rolled around like that for a while, and then a red light flashed by.
Xia Sheng adjusted his posture as much as possible, looked at the flashing red light with relief, and then he saw a crystal that looked like a ruby.
It is like a cone, thin at both ends and thick and round in the middle, with a mirror-like surface and many irregular planes.
Magic Core?
The moment he saw it, Xia Sheng suddenly thought of this.
After all, it's a dragon, and a monster at that, so it's normal for it to have a beast core or a demon core, right?
Like a human heart... no, it should be the core of a cultivator's soul.
If we destroy it, the black dragon should be able to be eliminated directly, right?
Xia Sheng roused himself, rolling and crawling as he approached the demon core.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the magic contained within, as if the energy, compressed to its limit, was about to explode at any moment.
He wasn't sure if it would explode, but if it was destroyed, the Black Dragon would definitely die, and he could return to his daily life with Yukino and the others.
The world will temporarily emerge from the crisis.
Xia Sheng slowly climbed to the edge of the magic core. He raised his left hand, still wrapped in pink flames, and adjusted to the rolling rhythm before throwing a punch with all his might.
boom!
Like the sound of hard objects colliding, his punch did not shatter the magic core directly.
Xia Sheng felt as if he were touching the scales of a black dragon.
But the magic core is not a scale; it is inside the black dragon's body, which illustrates its importance and fragility.
Cracks began to appear on the magic core, spreading and expanding little by little until they covered the entire surface.
*Snap!*
With a sound like shattering glass, the magic core finally exploded!
boom!
Immediately afterwards, energy surged.
Xia Sheng found himself being absorbed, and a black dot appeared where the magic core had originally been.
It kept expanding until it exceeded Xia Sheng's size, like a black hole!
Xia Sheng was completely unable to resist, and was sucked in alive.
The black hole was still absorbing, as if it wanted to absorb everything. Inside the black dragon's body, its internal organs, flesh, bones, and muscles were all being twisted and sucked in.
Outside, in the eyes of Yukino and the others, the black dragon's enormous body was shrinking and withering.
The enormous creature quickly grew to be about the same size as them, its body still rotating and contracting.
"What happened?"
"Xia Sheng is still inside!"
"Natsuo——!"
This scene terrified Shiina Mahiru and the others, leaving them pale with fright.
Xia Sheng has always been inside the Black Dragon's body. Given its current state, what must be happening to Xia Sheng inside?
Outside the barrier, Yuki Suoh and the others were stunned, a chill running through them, filled with dread.
But their fear was useless; the black dragon's body simply vanished, and the black hole disappeared along with it.
Where the black dragon had originally stood, there was nothing left but the blood and mud it had spat out, a mixture of gold and red.
"Natsuo——!"
Xia Sheng felt a sudden dizziness and was unable to control himself.
However, he is still conscious, so at least he is still alive.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but Xia Sheng finally sensed that the environment had changed, and he stopped spinning.
boom!
He felt himself fall to the ground, but it didn't hurt.
He opened his eyes and saw green grass and soil in front of him. He smelled the earth in his nose. He had fallen onto a grassy field.
Did they fall from the warp?
Xia Sheng got up and looked around. The view was open and the air was fresh. There were tall buildings in the distance and a river nearby.
It's good that it's not in a dungeon.
He was on a riverbank, with no passersby around, and neither Yukinoshita nor the others were there.
It seems he must have fallen first.
He should be able to bring them back safely, right?
Not entirely at ease, Xia Sheng took out his phone and called and texted Shiina Mahiru.
However, the call could not be connected, and the system notification indicated that he was out of service area.
What happened?
Looking at the circle in the upper right corner of his phone, Xia Sheng frowned, unable to believe it.
No signal?
Why is there no signal?
Is this what real life is like?
Xia Sheng looked around carefully, and suddenly felt a little uncertain. This place was unfamiliar to him; he had never been here before.
Where am I?
Let's ask someone first.
Xia Sheng sensed his surroundings and detected an aura not far from here, but no magic.
They are people, not invaders.
He went over immediately and, incidentally, deactivated his dragon form.
Fortunately, the flesh and dragon blood on his body were gone; otherwise, his appearance would have been terrifying, and no one would have dared to approach him.
Along the shore, Xia Sheng walked towards the group of people he sensed. There were five people there, probably some small team.
The scent had a strange, familiar quality to it.
Have I seen this somewhere before?
As he got closer, Xia Sheng's eyesight allowed him to see them clearly from afar, but when he saw the five figures, he was dumbfounded.
I can hardly believe it.
Those five people were five little girls, but they looked exactly alike!
The five little girls were dressed identically in simple white dresses, and they all had the same pink hair that flowed down their backs.
They are exactly the same, whether it's hair color, hairstyle, body shape, or face.
They are quintuplets!
Xia Sheng was also very familiar with their appearance.
They are the Nakano quintuplets.
How did they end up looking like they were when they were little?
Could it be... that this is when he met them as a child?
Did he go back in time?
The black hole was caused by the explosion of the black dragon's magic core?
He remembered the quintuplets saying that they had encountered a black mist person, who at that time was only possessed by a black dragon.
It's not dead yet!
Ok?
As soon as his thoughts reached this point, Xia Sheng noticed something was wrong; there was a magical aura emanating from it.
The next second, the black mist figure appeared and walked towards the quintuplets.
Xia Sheng immediately drew his katana and charged forward.
"Yotsuba, is the money really lost here?"
"I...I don't know..."
'
"What should we do? If we lose the money, does that mean we can't buy Mom the gift?"
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been careless..."
""
"Yotsuba, don't cry yet. Maybe we'll find it soon?"
"Um.
'
"Huh? Look, what's that? It's scary!"
"What?"
Following the sisters' directions, the four discovered a figure shrouded in black mist, eerie and terrifying.
They couldn't help but feel scared and hugged each other.
"What is that?"
"How scary..."
""
"It's coming towards us..."
'
"Run! Run!"
The five men turned and ran.
But the black mist creature locked onto them, and it was even faster, leaping in front of them in a single bound.
"Huh—!"
"It's a monster!"
"Help, help me..."
'
The five people were so frightened that they fell to the ground, their legs went weak, and they were unable to get up and run away.
The black-clad figures, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, approached them little by little, their scarlet eyes eerie and terrifying.
No, don't...
""
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Just then, a gentle voice reached the ears of the five people, and immediately afterward, a diagonal line appeared on the body of the black-mist man.
Click—
With a slashing sound, a tall figure landed in the middle, blocking the black mist figure.
"roar"
The black-clad man's crimson eyes stared at the person before him, filled with boundless rage.
But that was all it could do. The next second, the black mist exploded, and the person inside collapsed unconscious.
"Are you all alright?" Xia Sheng turned around and asked the five people with a gentle smile.
