Chapter 102: Killing The Ink Dragon
"Su Zhan, are you alright?" Su Zhaoyue was momentarily stunned, but then she became extremely delighted. Although she didn't think Su Zhan would die so easily, seeing him being slapped into the mountain wall by the Ink Dragon's claw made her think that he had been seriously injured.
"I'm fine." Su Zhan calmly uttered two words as he swung his sword towards the charging Ink Dragon.
"Boom!"
In their second clash, the ground cracked beneath Su Zhan's feet, causing him to retreat several meters. Meanwhile, the massive body of the Ink Dragon was sent flying, shattering the top of a mountain peak.
Feeling the terrifying power transmitted through his sword, Su Zhan's expression became grave. The second transformation of the fish-dragon realm, Pure Elemental Jade Bones. At this stage, human martial artists experience a substantial increase in physical strength, and beasts, although they do not have the concept of six transformations like the fish-dragon realm, also manifest their bloodline power and strengthen their physique during this period.
The six transformations of the fish-dragon realm may seem like only six small realm differences, but in reality, they are much greater than the differences in the early and middle stages of the Origin elixir realm and the martial master realm. Each transformation represents a step towards the Saint realm for the martial artist or beast, and it signifies a transformation for the martial artist!
"Divine Body! If I devour you, my bloodline will surely rise again!"
The Ink Dragon's eyes gleamed, showing no hint of fear, and it continued to approach Su Zhan. In its view, although the Divine Body was formidable, Su Zhan's realm was there. There was a gap that even a Divine Body couldn't make up for.
The Limitless Stellar Body technique activated, Su Zhan's body suddenly brightened, and he also charged towards the Ink Dragon. There was no intention to dodge at all; instead, he was directly confronting it head-on!
The Great Sun Star Sword clashed with the Ink Dragon's claw once again. The Ink Dragon's claw was dripping with blood, and Su Zhan's Limitless Stellar Body flickered intensely, as if it was about to shatter.
"Dare to injure me! You seek death!"
The Ink Dragon became furious, and its body radiated a dark aura. It opened its mouth and expelled a black poisonous mist.
Su Zhan activated the Spirit Qi Pendant, creating a semi-transparent shield. The majority of the poisonous mist was blocked by the shield, and the remaining amount was rendered useless by his Poison Immunity Halo.
"You can actually resist my poisonous mist?"
The Ink Dragon was astonished. Just as it found it unbelievable, a green sun appeared behind Su Zhan. In the next moment, in the eyes of the Ink Dragon, the green sun released countless green flames, instantly blasting onto its body.
Agony!
Tremendous agony surged!
"It's manifestation, a spiritual technique!"
Having reached the fish-dragon realm and possessing such a high-grade bloodline like that of a Jiao Dragon, the Ink Dragon naturally had a high level of intelligence. It immediately recognized Su Zhan's technique.
However, recognition was futile.
Even if you knew that it was an illusion and didn't care, your mental consciousness would still suffer heavy damage! While the Ink Dragon was suffering from the excruciating pain of the Qingyang Devil fire, madly charging towards Su Zhan, Su Zhan's body flashed, evading the Ink Dragon's attack. Then, with a single sword strike, he directly severed the back of the Ink Dragon's neck… The incredibly sharp Great Sun Star Sword tore through the Ink Dragon's dark aura, slicing through its flesh!
At the same time, Su Zhan withdrew the manifestation of his spiritual technique.
Although the Illusion of manifestation of the green sun was powerful, it required intense concentration from the user. Moreover, the Ink Dragon's mental state had already been disturbed by the Devil fire, greatly reducing its reaction speed. Coupled with the successful strike of Su Zhan's sword, he felt that it was enough.
True qi surged as Su Zhan sat on the falling body of the Ink Dragon, plunging his Great Sun Star Sword into its body.
Although the Great Sun Star Sword was minuscule compared to the enormous body of the Ink Dragon, when the power of the sun and stars contained within it, as well as the radiant sword energy, exploded inside the Ink Dragon's body, the previously mighty Ink Dragon let out a miserable howl.
Its body plummeted to the ground!
Its four claws firmly gripped the ground, and with a flick of its body, it flung Su Zhan away. Then, in a frenzy, it lunged towards Su Zhan, aiming to bite him.
Su Zhan swung his sword, and a star river appeared in front of him.
However, this star river was shattered by the enraged Ink Dragon, its head covered in bloody wounds from the sword energy. It charged towards Su Zhan!
"Boom!"
Su Zhan blocked with his sword horizontally, and his body was sent flying. He activated the Limitless Stellar Body technique once again, stabilizing the nearly crumbling starlight and returning it to completion. He then advanced towards the Ink Dragon.
"Boom! Boom!"
The two clashed in the valley.
Half an hour passed.
The valley had been completely flattened!
On the ruins, Su Zhan withdrew his Great Sun Star Sword from the head of the Ink Dragon, confirming that it was truly dead. He ended his Divine Body state and retrieved the sword.
His face pale, he took out several healing pills and swallowed them. It had to be said that the Ink Dragon was indeed very strong, even surpassing most human martial artists in their second transformation of the fish-dragon realm when it came to direct confrontations.
If it weren't for the inherent weak mental power of beasts and their greater vulnerability to the green sun Devil fire, this battle might not have ended yet. Even so, Su Zhan was lightly injured. Even his dragon scale armor and the golden talisman had been rendered useless…
Su Zhaoyue had long retreated to a distance of ten miles, watching the battle between the two from afar, feeling incredibly shocked.
At that level of combat, unless she burned her life essence, she wouldn't even be able to intervene! Because the residual power of even a casual strike from either the Ink Dragon or Su Zhan could reduce her to dust and bones!
"Su Zhan, he has become powerful to such an extent, and his Divine Body…" Su Zhaoyue murmured to herself as she watched Su Zhan, who had just ended his Divine Body state. "His Divine Body has become even stronger! He has even condensed a divine lifesource weapon of his own, as well as such terrifying sword technique…"
"And his sword intent has reached the pinnacle," Lin Fei Yu's voice sounded.
Su Zhaoyue was taken aback, then let out a bitter smile. "For Su Zhan, it's nothing. Senior Lin, didn't you say last time that our distance from Su Zhan would greatly diminish the next time we meet? Why do I feel like it's getting farther and farther away…"
"Sigh!"
Lin Fei Yu let out a sigh. "In just two months, you have advanced from the Meridian Opening realm to the later stage of the Martial Master realm. Even if you look at the entire world, you are undoubtedly outstanding among the outstanding!"
"But Su Zhan… his talent has already surpassed the highest level that should appear in this world. It's like throwing a true dragon into a snake pit. Perhaps there are some exceptionally gifted snakes in the pit, awakening various bloodlines, but the two are fundamentally different. How can they be compared?"
"But don't be too disheartened. True dragons also need time to grow, and your physique gives you the potential to become as outrageous as Su Zhan! As you integrate more diverse and powerful Fire Essences and your cultivation advances, your talent will also grow. Perhaps, after refining the Dragon Breath Flame, the gap in talent between you and Su Zhan will greatly diminish!"
"Dragon Flame…"
At the thought of Fire Essence, Su Zhaoyue's eyes brightened, and she walked towards Su Zhan, whose injuries had recovered by more than half in an instant.
"Su Zhan, you're really insane. You actually killed an Ink Dragon equivalent to the second transformation of the fish-dragon realm!"
"That Ink Dragon wasn't as strong as you think," Su Zhan shook his head.
