542: Combat strength: Dragon level

Time was slowly passing, and everyone in Whale Fall City could now feel that the surrounding temperature had risen to an unbearable degree.

Everyone started sweating, and large beads of sweat fell onto their clothes or the ground, only to quickly evaporate.

Finally, after a scorching red light suddenly emanated from the magic circle on the ground, a terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped everyone's hearts.

At the same time, a sound that did not resemble any living creature rang out, making everyone who heard it feel weak in the knees.

"Is this a Dragon Roar? It's really not quite what I imagined..."

Piao Jun took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the inexplicable urge to retreat that welled up in his heart.

Yes, the moment he heard that so-called Dragon Roar, he felt an urge to submit.

This feeling was very strange, as if the owner of that voice was born a noble existence.

"Prepare for battle. It's best to deliver a head-on blow before the Dragon fully emerges."

Han Lie was the first to fly into the air; he would undoubtedly be the primary combat force in this battle.

Jiang Xiaoyu also rushed out, a layer of water membrane appearing around him, protecting him within it.

At the same time, he held his trident in a reverse grip, the light of Water Cut constantly flickering at its tip.

Another high-pitched Dragon Roar sounded. This time, the ground where the eye pattern had been suddenly began to turn red.

Large amounts of soil and sand began to melt, eventually transforming into vast quantities of lava.

Yet, within this lava, the light of the formation grew even brighter, gradually becoming as dazzling as the sun.

On the city wall, many people squinted their eyes, looking in that direction.

Just as their eyes began to struggle with the dazzling light, a hideous head suddenly emerged from the formation within the lava.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, this so-called Dragon had an ugly head, resembling that of a lizard.

Fiery red scales covered it densely, and in the gaps between the scales, scorching lava slowly flowed.

The moment this head appeared, Han Lie and Jiang Xiaoyu made their move.

Jiang Xiaoyu didn't directly approach. He immediately used a Holy Skill, intending to lower the Dragon's body temperature.

After all, the creature was currently covered in a large amount of lava. Direct contact would likely scorch off a layer of skin.

Surging waves crashed down vertically from the sky, like a waterfall attempting to extinguish the flames on the ground.

At the same time, two enormous arms suddenly appeared behind Han Lie.

However, those two arms were not attached to his body but extended from two blood-red mists.

These two arms had black, spiderweb-like patterns, veins bulged prominently, and even the fingernails were a black-red color, soaked in blood.

Yet, the tips of the fingernails exuded an unparalleled sharpness.

Each arm was considerably thicker than an adult's waist, and the moment they appeared, they flew towards the Dragon.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that Han Lie's arm movements at this moment were identical to those of the two larger arms.

The Dragon, which had just revealed its head, clearly sensed the attack from above, but its vertical pupils showed disdain.

Its mouth, full of sharp teeth, suddenly opened, and a faint glow of fire began to gather in its throat.

Evidently, it intended to meet the challenge of these two 'ants' head-on.

But just then, Chen Yuting on the observation deck made her move.

"Holy Skill, Spacetime Displacement!"

Instantly, the speed at which the fire light condensed in the Dragon's mouth slowed significantly, as if a slow-motion button had been pressed.

However, Jiang Xiaoyu's attack was not slowed. Terrifying waves carried Jiang Xiaoyu down with them.

Just as the surging waves were about to hit the Dragon, Chen Yuting withdrew her skill.

Immediately, a large amount of water poured onto the Dragon's head, then rapidly evaporated due to the high temperature, enveloping the space in a cloud of white steam.

Jiang Xiaoyu felt the temperature of the water around him rise at an astonishing rate, but he still pointed his trident forward, aiming squarely at the Dragon's eye and thrusting down fiercely.

Facing Jiang Xiaoyu's sharp attack, this Dragon merely closed its eyes.

Jiang Xiaoyu's trident pierced into the Dragon's eyelid, but the previously invincible Water Cut did not achieve its usual effect.

Instead, this time he only left a shallow scratch on the Dragon's eyelid.

The water protecting him rapidly evaporated, and Jiang Xiaoyu, missing his strike, immediately chose to retreat.

After him, the two arms controlled by Han Lie had already descended.

The target of both arms was also the Dragon's eyes, but by this time, the Dragon had already opened its eyes.

It couldn't evade Jiang Xiaoyu's attack because of Chen Yuting's Holy Skill.

But for Han Lie's attack, it had ample time to avoid it.

The flames in the Dragon's mouth quickly condensed, enveloping the two descending arms in just two short seconds.

The astonishing high temperature distorted the air and made Han Lie's expression extremely pained.

Furthermore, the scorching flames spewed from the Dragon's mouth carried an extremely strong impact, preventing the two arms from breaking through the fiery encirclement.

Han Lie's face was contorted in a grimace. Those two arms were intimately connected to him, and he could now feel waves of unbearable pain.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have stopped there, but he wouldn't.

He made tearing motions with his hands, and the black patterns on his body became even clearer.

Then, the flames spat out by the Dragon were suddenly torn open, and two charred arms burst forth from within.

Streaks of blood-red patterns appeared on these two arms, striking the Dragon's eyes with unparalleled force.

The Dragon immediately let out a painful howl, the continuously spewing flames quickly vanished, and its head, which had just emerged, tilted straight back.

Jiang Xiaoyu, who had been waiting for an opportunity, saw this and immediately wanted to rush forward to attack again, but he was stopped by Han Lie:

"Don't go. It's not injured at all! It's luring us in!"

Han Lie's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Jiang Xiaoyu's head. He stopped his charge, looking over with some disbelief.

Han Lie's attack would definitely not be weaker than his own, meaning the Dragon had just endured two of their Holy Skills.

But Han Lie was now telling him that this creature hadn't sustained much damage at all?

The scene fell into a stalemate for a moment. The backward-tilting Dragon didn't wait for Jiang Xiaoyu to fall into its trap and slowly straightened its head.

A clear look of mockery appeared in its ugly pupils, as if an adult was playing with children, as it looked at Han Lie and Jiang Xiaoyu in the air.

The lava around the Dragon's body slowly rippled, and then its massive wings, body, and limbs all appeared before everyone.

Its appearance was hideous, like a large lizard with a bulging belly that had grown two wings, dripping with lava as it floated in mid-air.

Yet, despite being such an ugly creature, its attributes made everyone almost unable to breathe:

["Fire Elemental Dragon (Emperor): Level 70"]

["Combat Power: Dragon Rank"]

Combat power displayed as Dragon Rank, what was that?
