Chapter 339 - 339 Futile
Then, the Black Dragon awoke and stuck its head out. Its eyes were scarlet and filled with ruthlessness as it stared at Li Ruoying and the others. It seemed that they had to defeat the Black Dragon before they could think of a way to retrieve the lightning rod.
Suddenly, the Black Dragon went berserk, and its huge tail swept out with a strong wind. Its power was astonishing; wherever the tail passed, the air would distort. Rubble soon fell onto the floor as though the sky was falling.
Li Ruoying’s brows were tightly knitted, and her eyes revealed a serious look. She raised her hand, and a beautiful crystal blue light pattern bloomed from her fingertips.
“Congealing Star Technique!”
With a deep voice, blue-colored true essence swept out from her fingertips. Under the pull of the blue essence, a blue spear appeared out of thin air. The spear looked like it was carved out of blue crystal.
Under Li Ruoying’s control, the blue spear shot out like lightning with the intent to destroy the sweeping dragon tail. The force of moment built up behind the spear’s swing as it continued to shoot forward.
…But it was futile.
“Three-clawed Golden Dragon, prepare for battle!” Shen Fei’s eyes flashed and he summoned the Three-clawed Golden Dragon. He had been waiting to do this for quite some time.
When the Three-clawed Golden Dragon appeared, its eyes suddenly opened and two jets of flames burst out from them, shooting at the Black Dragon like lasers. The flames swept out and wrapped around the Black Dragon like snakes.
“Three-clawed Golden Dragon, Ancient Prestige!” Shen Fei hurriedly ordered. He wanted to borrow its strength to suppress the Black Dragon.
“Roar!” The Three-clawed Golden Dragon let out a dragon’s roar, and its eyes flashed brilliantly.
Then, it raised its claws and ruthlessly swiped in front.
A ripple appeared in the void, and a vortex formed by fire appeared. It carried a great fiery fluctuation that the air became searing hot. This was a powerful martial technique that could annihilate everything, the Flaming Dragon Palm!
“Roar!”
Seeing this, the Black Dragon let out an angry roar. Dark clouds rolled around its body and turned into a defensive barrier surrounded by black light to protect it.
Boom!
The dragon fire and the black light crashed into each other and set off an incredible force wave.
The impact had dislodged some of the scales on the Black Dragon’s body, and dragon blood sprayed out, making the Black Dragon look quite miserable.
“This Three-clawed Golden Dragon is really powerful!”
When they witnessed the sudden change, Aloy and Li Ruoying’s eyes widened.
However, the Black Dragon’s combat strength had far exceeded their expectations.
“Leave the Black Dragon to me. You guys go get the lightning rod,” Shen Fei said to Aloy and Li Ruoying.
“Alright!” Li Ruoying nodded. After that, she and Aloy set off toward the ancient tomb.
The ancient tomb was huge and there was an array inside. In the depths of the tomb, there was a stone platform. The lightning rod was floating above this stone platform.
Aloy and Li Ruoying were extremely excited. Li Ruoying took the lead. She held a jade bow and nocked an arrow. This was a treasured weapon that she had spent a lot of effort to create, and it contained a powerful lightning force.
She aimed directly at the lightning rod above the stone platform and let the arrow fly.
The arrow quivered, leaving behind a dazzling rainbow-like shadow as it fell on the lightning rod on the stone platform. Then, the lightning rod trembled, and the lightning arcs on it jumped. A powerful force was being injected into the arrow.
“Did I succeed?” Li Ruoying was extremely excited.
Just as her eyes were filled with joy, a ripple appeared in the air in front of her. A tail swept over and knocked the longbow out of her hand.
“Crap!” Li Ruoying’s pretty face suddenly changed, and she quickly retreated.
“What the hell!” Li Ruoying steadied her body and looked at the creature in front of her. She could not help but look surprised. “A Black Dragon again!”
Aloy also looked surprised. “Could it be that there’s more than one Black Dragon here?”
“That’s not good. Hurry up and summon your spirit beast.”
After that, Aloy quickly summoned her ice spirit. “Ice Spirit, Bone-piercing Chill!” Aloy shouted.
In the next second, the Ice Spirit appeared. Ice crystals condensed around it and turned into a huge floating sword. The moment the ice crystal sword was formed, the entire area turned cold.
“Go!” After that, Aloy’s eyes flashed and she waved a flute in her hand. The ice crystal sword immediately turned into a cold ray light that slashed at the Black Dragon.
With a roar, the Black Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a dragon pearl. The pearl gave off a dazzling light and turned into another Black Dragon. This dragon was five meters long, and its body was covered with a special mystical pattern. This was its mystical power, Black Dragon Shield!
The Black Dragon Shield was formed and met the huge ice sword.
Li Ruoying did not relent. She quickly summoned her high-grade Count-rank ice-attribute spirit beast. “Crystalline Peacock, make everything subzero!”
It was a pure white peacock with seven-colored feathers. Its entire body exuded a massive cold Qi.
The next moment, the Crystalline Peacock flapped its wings and released cold air. Immediately, the cold air turned into a cloud of cold mist in front of it. The cold mist swept out like snowflakes and blew forward.
During this time, Li Ruoying had retrieved her jade bow and had nocked an arrow.
“Ice Seal!”
Instantly, a sharp arrow shot through the air. The arrow flickered sharply, and instantly landed on the Black Dragon.
“Roar!” A miserable scream rang out as the arrow shot through the back of the Black Dragon.
“Is that it?”
“I hope it’ll work this time!”
Both Aloy and Li Ruoying muttered to themselves.
However, the Black Dragon let out a roar and rose into the air. It broke free from the ice and dove at Li Ruoying. Its body was too hard. Even the ice seal could only stop its movements.
“Oh crap!”
Li Ruoying’s face changed. She quickly pulled Aloy aside and retreated.
The Black Dragon roared and pounced again.
At this moment, the Crystalline Peacock conjured up a cold mist that transformed into thousands of ice blades, and it sent the blades at the Black Dragon from all directions. The ice blades slashed down, enveloping the Black Dragon.
...
Seeing this, Aloy yelled, “Ice Spirit, Ice Seal!”
The Ice Spirit released a cold aura which enveloped the Black Dragon. This ice-cold air could form frost out of thin air. Wherever the cold reached, the air would freeze.
The Black Dragon’s huge claw reached out and easily tore through the ice sealing power. Then, its eyes flickered and locked onto Li Ruoying and Aloy.
“This is not good…” Seeing this, Li Ruoying’s brows furrowed.
However, just as the Black Dragon was about to attack them, a red beam of light came from afar.
