The Medallion

Chapter 1119 Rescuing The Emperor

"Different forms?" As though something crossed his mind, Rocky's eyes narrowed at the enchanted barrier that had appeared when the spiritual shadow collided it. Then, he gently pressed his palm against its center.

All of a sudden, with Rocky's palm at its center, spiritual power rippled outward like waves. Gradually, the ripples spread across the threads of the spider web that was formed by the spiritual shadow.

Under the impact of the rippling spiritual power, the enchanted barrier began to tremble violently. Moments later, the vibrations intensified, til hairline cracks began to appear.

"Ah!" Rocky exclaimed, popping open his eyes. Suddenly, a strong spiritual power surged out from his palm and onto the enchanted barrier. With a loud bang, the whole enchanted barrier shattered into countless pieces, like broken glass. In the blink of an eye, the barrier had vanished without a trace.

Once the enchanted barrier was broken, Rocky immediately brandished the Frozen Wind Dagger, slashing at the wooden fence. Then, he rushed to his father, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

As he got closer, Rocky could see the state the emperor was left in. Long wisps of silver hair framed his hollowed cheeks. His eyes were sunken, as though he barely slept. His torn-up robe revealed emaciated hands and feet.

"Father..." Rocky couldn't help but tremble with mixed emotions at the sight of his mistreated father. Yet, he was not supposed to have such emotions.

"Don't worry, my child. It's lucky enough that I am still alive. What matters now is that I lived to see you again," the emperor said calmly. His old wrinkled face revealed a thankful smile, his eyes brimming with tears of gratitude.

"Let's go." Rocky abruptly turned around to let the emperor mount his back. Together, they left the cave as fast as they could, flying straight down.

On the other side, Bryant and Marcia were fighting side by side against the ordinary spiritual beings of the Dragon Master Clan.

"General Marcia, what on earth do you want?" Bryant suddenly asked, his eyes seething with bitterness.

"What on earth do you mean, Chief Bryant?" Marcia shot him a confused glance as she finished off an ordinary spiritual being.

"Prince Basil proposed taking this huge risk to rescue His Majesty just because he missed his father so much. But as a general of the Holy Dragon Empire, you should've tried your best to stop him! But you didn't. This is not your style," Bryant growled in a low voice.

"You didn't stop him either, did you?" Marcia retorted.

"Although I didn't stop him, I have secretly gathered the elite forces of the Ximen Clan to follow us. They can support us after Rocky rescues His Majesty. I believe you might have already noticed it. That's why you took us to the heavily guarded Dead Valley. In fact, you knew where His Majesty was imprisoned from the very beginning, didn't you?" Bryant looked at Marcia accusingly, as though he had figured it all out.

"You deserve to be the chief of the Ximen Clan." Marcia shot back coldly, making no attempt to refute his claims.

Marcia was scheming and shrewd. She knew it was dangerous to rescue the emperor from the Dragon Master Clan. She also knew very well that even if she led an entire army here, chances of winning were slim.

Even so, Marcia still supported Rocky's suicide rescue operation. All this seemed completely unreasonable!

"Why did you let this happen? If you plan to manipulate His Majesty and Prince Basil, I won't let you." Bryant continued to interrogate the general. Although he had noticed her unusual behavior prior, he was a bit dubious and was curious to see how it would play out. Only when they came to the Dead Valley did he realize that Marcia had something up her sleeve.

"Since I am responsible for bringing you here, I guarantee that you will make it out of here safe and sound. All I need is... Basil," Marcia said through gritted teeth.

"Do you want to..." Bryant's eyes sparkled, as though he realized something in that moment.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Rocky sent out the signal. This meant he had successfully rescued the emperor!

When Bryant and Marcia saw the signal, they exchanged a brief, cold glance then quickly retreated in Rocky's direction.

There, Robin and Ken were waiting. Rocky then immediately gathered his spiritual power, opening his Magic Spiritual Space. He first sent Robin back to his Magic Spiritual Space, and then mounted Ken with the emperor on his back. Then, Ken launched itself into the sky and flew out of the valley.

After flying out of the valley, Rocky saw that Sheridan and the three women were surrounded by a group of ordinary spiritual beings on the east side of the valley. Even the power of an ordinary spiritual slave was equal to that of a master at the Supernal Stage. As such, Sabina and the others were struggling to fight back.

Rocky didn't waste any time. Immediately, he guided Ken to the east.

As he approached, he gathered his spiritual power and immediately summoned Robin.

"Assimilate!" Rocky cried out determinedly. Instantly, his right arm was frozen, and the Frozen Wind Dagger turned into an ice saber full of cold air.

"Freeze the world!" Rocky roared, leaping off Ken and plummeting to the ground. As the Frozen Wind Dagger in his hand sliced through the air, everything within a-dozen-meter radius froze, shaking away all the spiritual slaves that were attacking Sheridan and the three women.

Upon landing among the foursome, Rocky barked orders quickly.

"Leave it to me. You go protect my father. Chief Bryant and General Marcia are coming," Rocky said to the foursome.

"You guys go first. Basil and I will stay here," Sabina said resolutely.

"I'll stay, too," Lucilla chimed in immediately.

"Rocky, what did you do to make these two girls so willing to follow you? I envy you so much!" Sheridan teased playfully, while Sabina rolled her eyes.

Seeing how Sabina and Lucilla were willing to go through fire and water for Rocky, Shirley felt restless.

"You all should go. If you stay here, I won't be able to fight against the spiritual slaves freely," Rocky said gravely.

Upon hearing this, the foursome exchanged wary glances. Finally, they obeyed, taking their spirit- manipulated beasts to meet Ken. There they found the emperor resting on its back.

At the sight of their escaped prisoner, the spiritual slaves immediately regrouped and rushed to Rocky and the others. Instantly, the sky and earth were swarming with beasts.

Since the emperor had been saved and was now under their protection, Rocky didn't have to hold back any longer. His left arm was transformed into a pillar of flame, a direct complement to his right arm of ice. He then began to ruthlessly attack with all his strength, slaying all the beasts and spiritual slaves around him.
