83: Dragon Slayer

“You despicable humans, all of you shall die!”

Lu Xingchen was startled.

This purplish-red fire lotus didn’t seem like an ability an Iron Giant Dragon should possess!

But there was no time to think that much now; he had to block this attack first!

Lu Xingchen immediately took out his hunyuan umbrella, and two Dou Qi light screens appeared around him and Lin Tian.

The fire lotus flew in front of them, then exploded violently.

A massive shockwave erupted, sending Lu Xingchen and Lin Tian flying backward.

The Dou Qi Shield from the hunyuan umbrella shattered in mid-air, and both of them spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

After landing, Lu Xingchen immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow, firing another Twisted String Arrow towards the Iron Giant Dragon.

However, the Iron Giant Dragon gathered purplish-red flames, forming a flame shield around itself.

Lu Xingchen's Purple Cloud Arrow struck the flame shield, causing ripples before falling weakly.

Seeing this, the Iron Giant Dragon let out a triumphant laugh.

“Hahaha! Shameless human, your arrow cannot break my defense!”

Lin Tian finally recovered, ran a few steps to Lu Xingchen’s side, and said in a deep voice, “Lu Xingchen, what should we do?”

Lu Xingchen said sternly, “We’ll wear it down. This purplish-red flame is not an ability of a Dragon Clan Demonic Beast; it can’t sustain it for long.”

Lin Tian sighed softly.

“Sigh, it can only be this way!”

The Iron Giant Dragon saw that Lu Xingchen and Lin Tian were no longer attacking, and it became somewhat flustered.

“What exactly do you two want to do? You neither fight nor retreat!”

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, “Maintaining this flame shield must consume a lot of Soul Power, right? The Soul Power of a Yao Beast is inherently weaker than that of a human Martial Artist of the same Realm. I’d like to see how much longer you can last!”

The Iron Giant Dragon spewed a few more breaths of Dragon Flame at them, but both managed to dodge.

It was getting flustered because Lu Xingchen was telling the truth.

After a moment of hesitation, it finally took out a golden fruit from its embrace and swallowed it whole.

Before long, the Iron Giant Dragon's entire body emitted a golden light, the injury on its right eye completely healed, and the Aura of its entire Dragon Body surged dramatically.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, “Not good, he’s getting stronger and stronger!”

Lu Xingchen immediately used “Heaven Obliterating Seal,” and an off-white Dou Qi Hand Seal condensed in front of him, then slammed down towards the Iron Giant Dragon.

Lin Tian, standing nearby, was once again shocked.

The power of Lu Xingchen’s move was already no weaker than his own, a Four-Star Martial Spirit.

Truly terrifying!

However, Lu Xingchen’s full-power strike still failed to break through the Iron Giant Dragon’s defense.

Lu Xingchen also did not dare to easily use “Jade Shatter.”

If he consumed half his Dou Qi but failed to defeat his opponent, he would fall into a very passive situation.

Lu Xingchen and Lin Tian launched several attacks together, but they were consistently unable to break through its defense.

The Iron Giant Dragon’s Realm had increased from Fourth-tier Four-Star to Fourth-tier Eight-Star in just five minutes.

This terrifying Breakthrough speed made Lu Xingchen turn pale with fright.

“I originally intended to use this dragon beard fruit when I broke through to the Fifth Tier, but I didn’t expect to be forced to use it by you. Shameless humans, today I will take all your lives!”

With that, the Iron Giant Dragon removed its flame shield and flew towards the two of them.

A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xingchen’s mouth.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for!

Just as the Iron Giant Dragon’s claws were about to touch Lu Xingchen, he used “Startling Soul Roar.”

A black skull head appeared in front of Lu Xingchen, then quickly flew towards the Iron Giant Dragon.

The Iron Giant Dragon snorted disdainfully.

“Such a weak Dou Qi fluctuation, and you think you can harm me? Human, it seems you truly are at your wit’s end!”

The Iron Giant Dragon swung its sharp claws impatiently, intending to swat the skull head away.

However, it did not expect the skull head to bypass its sharp claws and viciously strike its Soul Body.

The Iron Giant Dragon reeled as if struck by a heavy blow, stopping its movements, clutching its head with both claws, and rolling on the ground.

A sudden turn of events occurred; not only was the Iron Giant Dragon wailing in pain, but Lin Tian was also utterly bewildered.

Lu Xingchen’s attack was too strange.

The Iron Giant Dragon had no visible wounds, yet it was in such agony. Why was this?

Having succeeded with one strike, Lu Xingchen immediately unleashed a second “Startling Soul Roar.”

Another skull head flew towards the Iron Giant Dragon, which hastily deployed a flame shield to protect itself.

The skull head collided with the flame shield, creating ripples on the shield, its power halved, then it continued its assault on the Iron Giant Dragon.

Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly.

This purplish-red flame could actually weaken the power of Soul attacks; it truly was a treasure!

If his guess was correct, this should be a spiritual fire.

After dealing with the Iron Giant Dragon, he could try to absorb this spiritual fire!

This time, the Iron Giant Dragon spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and its Aura became even more sluggish.

It was scared.

The human’s attack was too bizarre; its powerful Physical Body had no effect whatsoever.

If this continued, it truly might die here!

And so, the Iron Giant Dragon endured the intense pain from its Soul Body, spread its wings, and fled into the distance.

Lu Xingchen, of course, would not let it leave so easily, and immediately unleashed a third “Startling Soul Roar.”

This time, Lu Xingchen used “Jade Shatter.”

Half of his Soul Power instantly vanished, in exchange for a five-fold increase in attack power.

Five seconds later, a skull head twice the size of the previous ones once again flew towards the Iron Giant Dragon.

The Iron Giant Dragon was terrified, but it had no means to counter Soul attacks, so it could only summon its flame shield again.

This time, Lu Xingchen’s skull head directly shattered the flame shield, then violently slammed into the Iron Giant Dragon’s body.

The Iron Giant Dragon let out a mournful cry, fell from the sky, and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Congratulations, Host: Lu Xingchen, your Realm has advanced to Eight-Star Great Martial Master! You have gained 28 talent points!

Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.

This Iron Giant Dragon actually allowed him to advance one minor Realm!

He immediately checked the System panel.

Good, he had become much stronger!

With the Iron Giant Dragon dead, the remaining Third Tier Demonic Beasts lost their Battle Intent and fled the area.

The Lingxiao Sect disciples gathered together.

Lin Tian said in a shocked tone, “Lu Xingchen, how did you do that?”
