Chapter 24 Fierce Battle! Fierce Battle!
This is the greatest improvement Shen Wanqing has gained since practicing the Azure Dragon Technique.
Previously, she could only release one auxiliary soul skill at a time, but now she can release three at the same time.
Liu Yunlan rushed out from behind, her five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—lit up.
She unleashed her fifth soul skill, Emerald Poison Domain, which created a layer of pale green poisonous mist within a radius of thirty feet centered on her.
The poisonous mist does not harm teammates, but it will cause continuous poisoning effects on enemies—paralysis, corrosion, and loss of soul power.
The old woman simultaneously unleashed her second soul skill, a vibrant green venomous snake flying out from her sleeve, silently slithering through the grass, searching for a weak point in the Wind Wood Dragon's defenses.
Qing Zhengyue charged forward from the front, and his six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—lit up.
The sixth spirit ring is black and is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
The sixth soul skill, Azure Serpent Slash, was unleashed. A layer of black light enveloped the longsword, and the air around the blade distorted.
This is his strongest single-target attack soul skill, and also his trump card.
He used all his strength in that strike.
-
High in the sky, Qing Mufeng hovered a hundred feet above the ground, looking down at the battlefield below.
His dragon might was unleashed without reservation at this moment.
It wasn't a deliberate release, but rather the natural suppression of lower-level dragons by the Azure Dragon bloodline.
That kind of suppression doesn't rely on soul power or spirit, but on instinct etched deep in the bloodline.
When lower-level dragons face higher-level dragons, they feel a tremor that surges from the depths of their bones.
Feng Mulong's body stiffened abruptly.
The oppressive force pressing down from above slowed its movements by half a beat.
That half-beat determined the course of the battle.
Qing Hongyuan's green snake strangled and bit its neck.
The snake's shadow coiled around the Windwood Dragon's neck, tightening its grip, while the wood-attribute soul power continuously eroded its scales and muscles.
Qing Zhengyue's longsword struck its right foreleg, the black blade slicing through the scales and leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound in the muscle.
Blood gushed out, staining the grass beneath him red.
Liu Yunlan's poisonous mist enveloped its entire body, and the emerald green toxin seeped into its wounds. Feng Mulong's movements became noticeably slower, and the rate at which its soul power was being drained accelerated.
The Windwood Dragon let out an angry roar.
It is a 30,000-year-old soul beast, not so easily subdued.
That dragon's might did indeed suppress it.
Its speed has slowed down, its reaction time has become sluggish, and its attack power has decreased.
But it is, after all, a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and even though it is suppressed, its strength should not be underestimated.
It suddenly swung its tail, striking Qing Hongyuan on the left wing.
The snake's tail, carrying immense force, slammed heavily into Qing Hongyuan.
The light shield of the jade pendant blocked most of the power, but the remaining impact still sent Qing Hongyuan flying, crashing into a large tree, and a trickle of blood spilled from his mouth.
"Hongyuan!" Shen Wanqing exclaimed in surprise.
"I won't die!" Qing Hongyuan got up from the ground, blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth, but he was still agile.
His injuries healed rapidly under the light of spring returning to the earth, and the Jade Spring also continued to restore his physical strength and soul power.
Spring returns to the earth.
This is Qing Mufeng's second soul skill that he has always maintained.
From the moment that 30,000-year-old wind-wood dragon appeared, Qing Mufeng released the spring returning to the earth high in the sky.
Green light poured down from the sky, enveloping the entire battlefield, its range nearly doubled compared to when it was released on the ground.
Within this area, everyone's injuries are healing rapidly, and their soul power is being continuously replenished.
This is the value of spring returning to the earth.
It is not a one-time treatment, but a continuous and uninterrupted recovery.
As long as Qing Mufeng's soul power is not exhausted, no one on this battlefield will fall.
-
The battle continues.
Although the Windwood Dragon was suppressed by the Dragon's Might, its counterattack was still fierce.
Its claws, fangs, tail, and wind blades each carry a destructive force equivalent to tens of thousands of years.
Qing Zhengyue took three of its wind blades head-on, each one leaving a deep mark on his longsword.
Liu Yunlan was hit by its tail once, and the old lady's left arm swelled up badly, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound, continuing to release the poisonous mist.
Qing Hongyuan was knocked flying three times, and the blood at the corner of his mouth was wiped away and flowed again and again.
But he always managed to get back up and rejoin the fight.
Shen Wanqing was the only one who did not directly engage in combat, but her exhaustion was no less than anyone else's.
Maintaining three auxiliary soul skills simultaneously is a huge test of her soul power and mental strength.
Fine beads of sweat had formed on her forehead, and her face was somewhat pale, but her hands remained steady, and her assistance never ceased.
The dragon's might remained undiminished amidst the azure winds high in the sky.
His soul power was being rapidly depleted by maintaining the Azure Dragon Armor, releasing Spring Returns to Earth, and suppressing the Dragon's Might.
Operating on three fronts was a huge test of his soul power and mental strength.
However, with all four paths of his Azure Dragon Technique fully open, his soul power recovery speed was several times faster than that of an ordinary person, barely keeping up with the rate of consumption.
He maintained his dragon aura while looking for an opportunity to strike.
The moment Feng Mulong was forced back by Qing Zhengyue's sword and his body slightly lost its balance, he moved.
Azure Dragon extends its claws!
His right arm transformed into a dragon, with blue scales covering the entire arm and his fingers turning into sharp claws.
He swooped down from the sky, his dragon-transformed right claw, amplified by the impact, slammed into the Windwood Dragon's head.
Five deep blue claw-like beams struck the Windwood Dragon's skull, the corrosive power of the wood element seeping into the bones through the scales.
Feng Mulong let out a painful howl, and with a sudden jerk of its head, it flung Qing Mufeng away.
Qing Mufeng did two somersaults in the air, and Qinglong Yufeng stabilized himself and rose back into the sky, unharmed.
The Azure Dragon Armor's defensive capabilities, combined with the continuous recovery from Spring Returns to Earth, gave him a certain margin for error.
Not all attacks can be withstood, but at least one hit won't render you incapable of fighting.
-
The battle lasted for nearly half an hour.
Feng Mulong's body was covered in wounds.
Most of its scales were shattered, and blood stained the grass beneath it. Its left foreleg was almost broken by Qing Zhengyue's repeated attacks. The snake shadows coiling around its neck made it increasingly difficult to breathe, and the toxins in its body caused its soul power to continuously drain away.
It is still resisting, but the resistance is getting weaker and weaker.
It tried to escape.
It spreads the scales on its back.
That was the posture of the Windwood Dragon when it was flying.
I want to fly.
But Qing Mufeng's azure dragon pressure pressed down on it like a mountain, preventing it from taking off.
It also tried to run deeper into the valley, but Qing Zhengyue blocked its retreat route.
The old man stood like an insurmountable mountain, blocking the way between it and the ancient tree.
In the end, Qingzhengyue's single strike ended the battle.
The longsword, enhanced by a black spirit ring, pierced through the neck of the Windwood Dragon and emerged from the other side.
Feng Mulong's body stiffened abruptly.
The light in the golden vertical pupils gradually faded.
It let out a final, low whimper, and its massive body collapsed with a crash, shaking the ground slightly.
