433: Self-destruction

Lu Xingchen said indifferently: "This Liuxing Continent really is interesting. There are Dragons living even in a random small creek."

The blue Dragon looked at Lu Xingchen with a hint of dread.

The power of that previous palm strike was not weak; it blasted him right out. This Human Race child in front of him was definitely not a simple Four-star Martial Venerable.

"Cultivation is difficult. You and I have no grievances, so there is no need to fight. I will yield this small creek to you and leave immediately. How about that?"

Lu Xingchen said indifferently: "Now that you know you can't win, you start begging for mercy? How should we account for your sneak attack earlier?"

The blue Dragon said in a deep voice: "You trespassed into my territory first. I was merely defending myself passively."

Lu Xingchen let out a cold snort.

"What a fine 'passive defense'! Since you want my life, then you should be prepared to give up your own!"

Hearing this, the blue Dragon also became slightly enraged.

"Human Race child, don't be so arrogant! My Realm is above yours after all. If we truly fight, who wins and who loses is still unknown!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "Even Chu Huai is beneath my notice. What does a mere Dragon at Eighth Rank, Five Stars count for?"

Hearing this, the blue Dragon was greatly startled.

"What? You actually exchanged blows with Chu Huai?"

"Hahaha! Stop boasting! Try to escape from my hands first!"

Having said that, he stopped wasting words, opened his mouth, and spat a pillar of water toward Lu Xingchen.

The power of this water pillar was much greater than the previous water arrows; this was the true strength of the blue Dragon.

But Lu Xingchen showed no fear. His shadow sword was unsheathed, and he slashed out with a single sword strike.

The white Battle Qi Sword Blade instantly shattered the opponent's water pillar without any difficulty.

Sensing the power contained within the Battle Qi Sword Blade, the blue Dragon was greatly astonished.

"How is this possible? You are only a Four-star Martial Venerable, yet the intensity of your Qi is actually higher than that of a Five-Star Martial Venerable!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled: "You're getting scared already? I haven't even started taking this seriously yet!"

The blue Dragon let out a cold snort.

"Until the final moment, it's still unknown who the victor will be! Human Race brat, you are worthy of my full effort!"

The blue Dragon let out a roar. Hundreds of sharp water arrows condensed around his body, then shot toward Lu Xingchen.

"Slow, too slow!"

"Word Spirit, Instant Flash!"

Lu Xingchen let out a low shout, spread his Dou Qi Wings, and flew toward the blue Dragon.

The water arrows shot towards him one by one, but they only grazed past him; not a single one could truly hit his Physical Body.

Meanwhile, Lu Xingchen held his shadow sword and slashed at the blue Dragon's body.

Normally, the Physical Body strength of a Yao Beast at the same Realm is far superior to that of a Human Martial Artist, making their defense difficult to breach.

But was Lu Xingchen an ordinary person?

He was the Human Race War God!

Although his surface Realm was lower than the blue Dragon's, he could easily break through the enemy's defense.

Before the blue Dragon could finish shooting his water arrows, Lu Xingchen had already left over a dozen wounds on his Dragon body, causing blood to splash everywhere.

The blue Dragon let out a mournful cry and roared loudly: "I surrender! I surrender! Human Race brat, spare my life, and I can tell you the location of the secret treasure I guard!"

Lu Xingchen coldly snorted and chuckled: "If I kill you, I can still get the secret treasure, and I'll gain experience points too!"

Lu Xingchen was not overly surprised by the blue Dragon's words.

This creek was so small, and the spiritual energy was not abundant. Since this blue Dragon chose to reside here, it must have been plotting something.

Since he emerged from the bottom of the water, the secret treasure must also be underwater.

Hall Master Zhong had said that unused treasures could be handed over to the Human Emperor Hall to gain points and enter the top hundred.

Although he did not know what secret treasure the blue Dragon was guarding, it would only benefit him.

If he could use it, that would be best, as it could quickly increase his combat power.

If he couldn't use it, that was fine too, as he could exchange it for points.

The blue Dragon roared in anger: "I have been retreating constantly, yet you keep pressing me relentlessly! You are truly going too far! Human Race brat, since I cannot live, don't expect to live either!"

As soon as the blue Dragon finished speaking, a powerful wave of Demonic Power erupted from his body.

Sensing this Demonic Power fluctuation, Lu Xingchen frowned.

This fellow is going to self-destruct his demonic core!

Although he had long known that the Human, Demon, and Yao races could all self-destruct to take an enemy down with them, since his Transmigration to the Tianyuan Continent until now, this was the first enemy he had encountered who dared to self-destruct their demonic core.

His previous opponents were all very protective of their lives; even if they couldn't win, they would choose to flee. This was the first time he had encountered a blue Dragon with such spirit.

The Demonic Power fluctuation on the blue Dragon's body grew stronger and stronger. Seeing that it was about to explode, Lu Xingchen hurriedly spread his Dou Qi Wings and fled into the distance.

The power of a Yao Beast's self-destruction varies from Yao to Yao. He did not know how much power this blue Dragon's desperate attack could unleash, so it was better to avoid its edge.

"Hahaha, Human Race brat, so you have moments of fear too!"

The blue Dragon burst out of the water and flew after Lu Xingchen. Although his speed was inferior to Lu Xingchen's, he could certainly hold out until the power within his demonic core was fully activated.

Lu Xingchen also realized this. He stopped struggling unnecessarily, immediately halted where he was, and activated "Dustless Land."

A colorless barrier appeared around his body. Immediately afterward, golden light shone on the barrier, which was clearly the "Vajra Barrier."

This time, he also consumed twenty percent of his Qi and blood.

The defense gained from this twenty percent of Qi and blood was enough to withstand a single blow from Chu Huai, whose Realm had reached the Peak of Eighth Rank, Nine Stars. He did not believe it couldn't block the blue Dragon's self-destruction.

Just as the colorless barrier took shape, the blue Dragon successfully self-destructed.

The powerful Demonic Power overturned the creek water, the resulting air currents tore the surrounding trees to shreds, and a loud sound echoed throughout the entire mountain Peak.

Lu Xingchen bore the brunt of the attack. Ripples appeared on the colorless barrier, which then shattered with a crash.

The remaining Demonic Power sent him flying, and he rolled for over a hundred meters on the ground before stopping.

He then stopped against a large tree and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao You's panicked voice appeared beside Lu Xingchen's ear.

"Xingchen, are you alright?"

Lu Xingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, struggled to stand up, and said in a deep voice: "The problem isn't big."

"'Dustless Land' has already helped me block most of the Demonic Power. The remaining Demonic Power is not enough to kill me."

Xiao You continued: "This Martial Arts Convention really is fraught with danger! You haven't even been on the Liuxing Continent for a full day, yet you've already spat blood twice. Such a sorry state is rare to see."

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile: "Tell me about it. Now I know why Lord Fu Zhuzhou gave us life-saving talismans. Without these talismans, the casualties among the Human Race Prodigies of the Nine Provinces would be severe."

"The commotion here is so big that it must have attracted attention. We should quickly leave this place and find somewhere to cultivate and heal our injuries!"
