C97 Fight with All Your Might
C97 Fight with All Your Might
The Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon that had broken through to the Seventh Grade possessed intelligence that was in no way inferior to that of a human.
With the power of a Seventh Grade Strange Beast, it possessed about the same strength as Yan Jinghong. Naturally, the battle between the two of them would result in utter chaos and destruction in the surroundings. Thus, to ensure the safety of the Cyan Heart Lotus, they had to change the location of the battle.
However, the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon was worried that the other strange beasts would seize the opportunity to snatch the Cyan Heart Lotus after it left, especially the Earth Shifting Dragon and Cuckoo Beast. So, just in case, it made sure to clean every one of such potential threats before leaving the lake.
As the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon shot out over a thousand powerful beams of energy, all the Tenth and Ninth Grade Strange Beasts surrounding the lake were in deep trouble.
Although the energy of the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon was dispersed, each of its beams was not something the weaker strange beasts could ever hope to deal with. In the blink of an eye, every single one of the Tenth and Ninth Grade Strange Beasts instantly evaporated in the face of the overwhelming energy.
As for the Earth Shifting Dragon and Cuckoo Beast that were stronger, the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon made sure to focus more of his energy on dealing with them. Half of the energy shot out was aimed towards them.
While the Earth Shifting Dragon was pierced through by the energy beam and collpased dead onto the ground, the Cuckoo Beast barely managed to dodge the long-range attack midair in time. Despite it dodging most of the fatal attack, the energy beam still brushed past its feathers slightly. Severely injured, it used all its remaining strength to escape.
Having destroyed most of the strange beasts around the lake, it did not leave the vicinity immediately. While paying close attention to resisting Yan Jinghong's attack, it once again shot out dozens of energy beams towards the remaining Tenth Grade Strange Beasts.
Looking at the energy beam flying towards him like an missile, Chu Zhongtian increased his speed once again.
In fact, when the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon intitally surfaced from the depths of the lake and resisted Yan Jinghong's attack, Chu Zhongtian had anticipated that its goal was definitely to wipe out all the bystanders around the lake. Thus, he had already activated his movement technique and escaped with all his might.
Feeling the aura of the energy beam approaching closer and closer from behind, he realized that it would catch up to him with his current speed. Even with the protection of the Semi-Spirit Armor, he would still be inflicted with a serious injury if he were to get struck by the attack.
In his current environment, not to mention being seriously injured, even minor injuries would be extremely dangerous for him. Without any other choice, Chu Zhongtian chose to fight with all his might!
Squeezing every single drop of spiritual qi from his dantian into his legs, he unleashed the full strength of his low-rank movement technique and increased his speed once again.
However, Chu Zhongtian had greatly underestimated the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon's perception. As a Seventh Grade Strange Beast, it would naturally calculate and prepare its attacks meticulously. Therefore, no matter how fast Chu Zhongtian tried to escape, he still would not be able to shake off the energy beam targeted towards him from behind.
"Am I going to die here today?" Chu Zhongtian said in a disheartened voice as he felt the destructive energy gradually closing its distance to him. He fully knew that his Spirit Armor could not block the attack either.
"No!"
"I can't die at such a place! I still have to reach the peak of martial arts and find a way to return to Earth to see my parents again."
Converting the fear lingering in his heart into pure motivation, Chu Zhongtian forced his low-rank movement technique, which had just entered the Major Realm, to break through to the Peak Realm in this desparate situation. In an instant, his speed multiplied by three times.
With his increase in speed, Chu Zhongtian just barely avoided the energy beam shot towards him by a hair's breadth. As the energy beam shot by him and pierced through a giant tree that was three meters in diameter, he licked his dried lips and gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
"Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon, how dare you!" Upon witnessing the Flood Dragon wipe out the thousands of strange beasts around the lake in an instant, Yan Jinghong, whose mind had been filled with hatred, did not realize its intentions whatsoever. But when it launched its second attack, targeted towards the human cultivators, Yan Jinghong finally woke up.
After she saw the dozen or so energy beams aimed towards Dongfang Yun'er and the others, Yan Jinghong let out a furious roar. No longer bothering to continue attacking the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon, Dongfang Yun'er switched her attention to blocking its attacks shooting towards her comrades.
With its great intelligence, however, the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon figured that there was someone among the human cultivators whom Yan Jinghong cares about. Just as she was about to withdraw to help her comrades, it purposely obstructed her path with its giant body to make her fall down into a spiral of madness.
Seeing that Dongfang Yun'er took on the direct hit of the energy beam, Yan Jinghong's eyes turned bloodshot as her originally black hair turned white in an instant.
"Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon, I will definitely kill you today!" Yan Jinghong, originally fuming in rage, spoke with an eeriely calm voice that froze up the entire surroundings.
"I blundered!" Upon seeing Yan Jinghong's eyes turn red, the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon's expression turned serious while its already ugly face twisted in a disgusting manner.
Originally, it intended to make Yan Jinghong lose control of herself by killing the human cultivators. However, it never expected her cultivation to go on a complete rampage after killing the humans.
In her current condition, not only could she unleash her full strength, but her combat strength had increased by three times. Initially, the difference in strength between the two of them was not much, so much so that the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon could barely defeat her even with its strong body. But at this moment, all the confidence it had in its heart turned into shreds
As the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon raised its head and roared into the sky, it immediately took the initiative to attack while purposely guiding Yan Jinghong deeper into the Endless Forest.
At this moment, the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon did not have much confidence in defeating her. Thus, in order to protect itself and take the Cyan Heart Lotus for itself, it could only shift the location of battle elsewhere.
Confident in its strength, it believed that its beam attack had completely wiped out the twenty or so human cultivators in the vicinity. That was the reaosn why it could leave behind the Cyan Heart Lotus that it had been guarding for nearly 20 years.
Chu Zhongtian, who had dodged the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon's attack, was afraid that he would attract its attention. Thus, he let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, pretending to be killed.
When Chu Zhongtian collapsed to the ground, he just so happened to notice an expert from the Wang Family doing his best to resist the energy beam shot out by the Flood Dragon.
However, upon seeing the expert of the Wang Family, his eyes turned serious as a trace of fear flashed past his mind. While he was forced to dodge the attack, the expert of the Wang Family who had been hiding behind him all this time was actually doing his best to defend himself from the Flood Dragon's attack.
Moreover, the fact that the expert could temporarily resist the energy beam of the Flood Dragon with his own strength indicated that he was at the very least someone who had broken through the Body Refining Realm.
Thinking how the Body Refining Cultivator was lying in wait to ambush him from behind, Chu Zhongtian could feel a lingering fear caressing the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he had also learned a valuable lesson. When going into hiding in the future, he needed to pay attentino to both his front and back.
A hint of disdain flashed across his eyes as Chu Zhongtian stared at the expert of the Wang Family doing his utmost to resist the energy beam.
After all, the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon was a Seventh Grade Strange Beast. If its attack could be blocked with such ease, it surely couldn't be called a Seventh Grade Strange Beast anymore.
