357: Join forces to kill the dragon

"A Peak eighth-Rank Yao Beast, close to ninth-Rank, is indeed hard to deal with."

"It's another Yao Beast with unidentifiable abilities, troublesome."

Just like the Silver-Winged Yaksha before it.

Mu Feng also failed to discern the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's abilities.

"Roar!"

While Mu Feng was investigating the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's information,

the Fire Dragon, having discovered Mu Feng and Han Yuyan, let out a roar.

Immediately after, it snorted, and a blast of hot wind swept towards their location.

Seeing this, Mu Feng was not in a hurry to summon his Vajra Shield.

Instead, he tried to block it with the Azure Origin Sword Shield.

After reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage, the Azure Origin Sword Shield's defensive capability was also approaching that of a top-grade Magic Treasure.

This dragon's breath was perfect for testing its defensive strength.

"Pop!"

As the red hot wind collided with the azure shield light, Mu Feng felt a surge of heat from the depths of his heart.

"Not good, this dragon's breath can actually ignore the Azure Origin Sword Shield's defense and directly attack the Physical Body!"

He glanced at the hot wind passing through the azure shield.

Mu Feng immediately understood that this dragon's breath ability had a shield-piercing effect, and he quickly cast several Spell Arts.

He wanted to extinguish the scorching hot wind around his body.

However, the hot wind seemed to be alive, constantly moving inside and on his body.

It would take great effort to extinguish it.

Fortunately, his Physical Body defense was strong, and his heat resistance was good.

Although the hot wind could not be extinguished for now,

the damage to him was limited.

However, some superficial pain was unavoidable.

Since the dragon's breath couldn't be extinguished, Mu Feng simply ignored it.

He turned his head to check on the others.

His defense was strong, but the others might not be.

If they were instantly killed by this dragon's breath, it would be disastrous.

"Swish, swish!"

Facing the dragon's breath attack, Little Lizard opened its mouth, and all the incoming hot wind was swallowed into its belly.

The dragon's breath was powerful, but it couldn't cause any damage to it.

Instead, it was swallowed and nourished the transforming flames within its body.

Mu Feng was confident in Little Lizard, but he was mainly worried about the little fox and Han Yuyan.

However, he soon realized that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Facing the dragon's breath attack, Han Yuyan calmly summoned the Blue Light Shield, a newly acquired ancient treasure.

The violent, scorching dragon's breath, upon touching the water light on the Blue Light Shield, seemed to encounter its nemesis and immediately withered.

In less than half a second, it was completely extinguished by the blue water light.

This item naturally countered fire-element Cultivation Technique attacks.

With the Blue Light Shield's protection, Han Yuyan was unharmed, and the little fox beside her was also protected by her shield, suffering no damage.

"Alright, so I was the only one injured..."

After looking around, Mu Feng realized that he was the only victim of this dragon's breath.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The clown was actually himself.

"Roar, roar!"

On the other side, the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon was stunned to find its dragon's breath so easily blocked.

It had just used its Divine Sense to probe the two people's Cultivation, both were Core Formation and had not reached Nascent Soul.

This greatly surprised it.

However, it didn't think much of it, assuming the two were just lucky.

It opened its mouth, and an even hotter dragon's breath than before was exhaled once again.

"Holy crap, again!"

Discovering that the opponent was spitting out the same scorching dragon's breath, Mu Feng quickly summoned the Vajra Shield.

His body was still being painfully roasted by the scorching dragon's breath, and he didn't want to experience it again.

"Poof."

As the Vajra Shield appeared, a thick yellow light shield immediately formed around Mu Feng's body, with some Sanskrit script flowing on it that Mu Feng couldn't understand.

The Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's dragon's breath, upon touching the yellow shield, vanished without a trace, as if a mud ox had entered the sea.

"As expected of a replicated defensive Spirit Treasure, it's effective!"

The Vajra Shield's Rank was even higher than the Blue Light Shield, so if the Blue Light Shield could withstand it, the Vajra Shield naturally had no problem.

On the other side, Han Yuyan also easily neutralized the dragon's breath attack again.

Little Lizard, of course, goes without saying.

"Hmm?"

"Interesting, they can actually withstand my dragon's breath attack?!"

The first time it released its ability, the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon didn't pay attention, so it didn't notice how Mu Feng and his companions countered its attack.

So this time, when it released its ability, it specifically observed.

Therefore, seeing its dragon's breath blocked like this, it couldn't help but become interested in the two people's body-protecting Magic Treasures.

In its opinion, the two could survive its dragon's breath entirely due to the Magic Treasures in their hands.

Immediately, it flicked its Jiao tail.

It directly attacked Mu Feng and Han Yuyan.

Since Spell attacks didn't work, it decided to engage in direct Physical Body combat to eliminate the two and then return to its volcano to Cultivate.

"Perfect timing!"

Mu Feng was wondering how to get over there, but he didn't expect the opponent to come directly, so he quickly formed hand seals.

Soon after.

A giant azure longsword appeared above his head, which was precisely the Giant Sword Technique recorded in the Azure Origin Sword Art!

As soon as the giant sword formed, it immediately slashed towards the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's head!

Seemingly sensing the extraordinary nature of the Giant Sword Technique, the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon frowned, then swayed its body, trying to avoid its sharpness.

However, just as it thought it could easily avoid the giant sword, it suddenly felt its body tighten.

Looking down, it found that several ice chains had appeared on its body at some unknown point.

The ice chains sizzled as they touched its scorching scales, but they still held on, restricting its speed.

It was Han Yuyan who had made her move from the side.

The moment she saw Mu Feng attack, she very tacitly cast ice chains on the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon.

Her combat awareness was at its Peak.

With its body locked, the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's intention to avoid the Giant Sword Technique could not be realized.

It was directly struck by the Giant Sword Technique, composed of dozens of Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords, which slammed down on its head.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's figure was fiercely driven into the ground by the Giant Sword Technique.

Causing the earth to tremble.

"Roar!"

"You, deserve to die!"

Mu Feng had not yet withdrawn the giant sword after striking it.

When he heard the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's furious voice from underground.

Their combined ability had thoroughly enraged it.

In its view, the two were merely Core Formation Cultivators who could be easily subdued, yet they had repeatedly made it look foolish.

The moment the voice came out.

A massive gush of fiery lava erupted from the ground.

The power and Aura of this fiery lava were far stronger than the previous dragon's breath.

"Petty tricks!"

Facing the attack of the massive fiery lava, Mu Feng's expression remained unchanged; with a thought, he once again released a thick yellow shield.

Han Yuyan, beside him, also flicked her arm, putting on the Blue Light Shield.

The Blue Light Shield itself had strong defense, and it also had a damage reduction effect against flames.

So this fiery lava, even if its power was doubled, would not have any effect on her.

"Puff!"

Just like before, the scorching fiery lava, upon touching the Blue Light Shield, immediately split into two paths.

Han Yuyan and the little fox inside the Blue Light Shield were completely unharmed.

Mu Feng, on the other hand, felt some pressure.

The fiery lava released later was much more powerful than the dragon's breath, which could be seen from the doubled increase in the Magic Power consumed from him.

"Disperse!"

To alleviate some pressure, Mu Feng summoned the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket hanging from his waist.

As the yellow mist rolled over,

a large amount of fiery lava was collected into the flower basket.

With the diversion provided by the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket,

the Magic Power consumed by the Vajra Shield immediately decreased.

Seeing this, Mu Feng

took out a Holy Spirit Pill from his Storage Ring and threw it into his mouth.

This item, besides being able to restore his lost Magic Power, could also heal the damage caused to his body by the previous dragon's breath.

"Comfortable."

As the Holy Spirit Pill entered his stomach, Mu Feng felt a cool energy circulating within his body.

The areas previously scorched by the fiery dragon's breath visibly recovered.

The Magic Power consumed in his Golden Core was also replenished somewhat.

Having resolved his worries, Mu Feng quickly formed hand seals.

Immediately, a red Jiao Dragon phantom appeared behind him.

This Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's strength was quite good.

It was still somewhat difficult to deal with in its ordinary form; he needed to undergo Jiao Transformation.

"Transform!"

As the Jiao Dragon phantom entered his body, Mu Feng's body immediately transformed into the appearance of a blood python Jiao.

"Roar!"

After a roar, Mu Feng directly turned and plunged into the erupting lava, charging towards the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon releasing its ability below.

"Hmm?"

The Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon, currently fully unleashing its lava ability, only felt a blur before its eyes.

A red blood python with a Jiao Dragon's horn had appeared beside it.

Before it could fully react, the red blood python launched a fierce attack on it.

Thump, thump, thump!!!

The blood python's fists were like wind, pounding the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's abdomen, making a drumming sound.

"Pfft!"

After reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage, the Jiao Transformation Divine Ability's power also increased significantly.

After all, this Divine Ability also amplified the caster's own strength tenfold.

The stronger the inherent strength, the more significant the amplification effect.

"Roar, roar, roar!!!"

Being fiercely pounded in the abdomen by the blood python that Mu Feng had transformed into, the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon let out a painful roar, and the fiery lava it had been releasing could no longer be maintained due to the impact on its abdomen, directly dissipating.

Freed from the fiery lava's restraint,

Han Yuyan also quickly followed Mu Feng's rhythm.

She moved her slender hand, and dazzling ice flames appeared in her palm.

Mu Feng knew she was casting the Five-Colored Ice Flame to help him.

To prevent the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon from evading, Mu Feng's offensive rhythm became even faster.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Under Mu Feng's swift assault, the fiery red scales on the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's abdomen flew off, one after another.

Traces of blood continuously flowed out.

This intensified the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon's resentment towards Mu Feng.

"Damn human, I will tear you to pieces!"

After a furious roar,

the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon shook its body, and its previously massive and unwieldy hundred-meter body immediately shrunk into a two-to-three-meter tall brawny man covered in scales.

It had actually been forced by Mu Feng to transform into human form.

With its body shrunk, it immediately became more agile.

Mu Feng's attacks were easily dodged.

And after shrinking its body, its speed also increased significantly.

While dodging Mu Feng's attacks, it could also counterattack him.

Boom!

With a loud bang,

Mu Feng was sent flying backward from underground.

This Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon still had strength.

It was only because it underestimated its opponent at first that it was beaten dizzy by Mu Feng.

Now that it had recovered, it naturally easily sent Mu Feng flying.

"Die!"

Seeing Mu Feng fly out, the brawny man, transformed from the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon, pushed hard with his legs, and his entire body shot out of the ground like a cannonball.

The Jiao Dragon's horn on its head shone brightly, pointing directly at Mu Feng's abdomen.

It was clear that it had truly been enraged by Mu Feng.

It intended to retaliate eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

Mu Feng hit its abdomen, so it would use its sharp horn to pierce Mu Feng's abdomen, to vent its hatred.

"Spirit Shocking Thorn!"

Seeing the opponent pursuing him, a triumphant smile appeared on Mu Feng's face.

Before the opponent could react to what was happening,

Mu Feng released a mental attack.

"Hiss!"

As the Spirit Shocking Thorn was unleashed, the brawny man felt a sharp pain in his head.

However, its Divine Sense was indeed good.

It recovered to normal in less than half a second.

This dashed Mu Feng's idea of releasing the sword formation.

However, he hadn't intended to just unleash the sword formation nakedly anyway.

Doing so was merely to create an opportunity for Han Yuyan beside him.

The brawny man saw Mu Feng's attack miss and was about to mock him.

"Freeze!"

It suddenly heard a chanting sound by its ear.

Turning its head, it found that the female Cultivator who had been on the ground had somehow condensed a peculiar flame and was attacking it.

The flame was brilliantly colored and looked extremely beautiful.

But at this moment, it had no mind to appreciate it, because from that mass of flame, it felt a hint of threat.

Instinctively, it moved to dodge.

"Hmph, trying to escape? Trap!"

Seeing it try to escape, Mu Feng, who was above its head, his eyes flashed.

A mass of gray light immediately covered it.

Upon being touched by the gray light, the brawny man felt his head spin.

Its body inexplicably appeared in a misty space.

Before he could react to what had happened, his body was directly frozen by the Five-Colored Ice Flame.

Immediately after, he heard a sharp sound ring in his ears.

"Sword Formation!"

As the sound fell,

seventy-two dark black treasured swords appeared around its body, surrounding it completely.

It wanted to break free.

But found that it was frozen and unable to move.

By the time it used all its strength to break free from the ice restraints, the sword formation around it had already formed.

Countless sword threads continuously swept towards it.

The sword threads were extremely sharp.

As soon as its body touched them, it was immediately cut with bloody marks.

And what made it feel terrified was that when its head was touched by the sword threads, it would even feel dizzy.

The movement it originally intended to make to dodge directly missed.

By the time it regained consciousness, the sword threads in the sword formation were already countless.

Half of the hard scales on its body had been shaved off at some unknown point.

"No!"

"This is impossible!"

"How can this sword formation be so powerful?"

The brawny man's face was filled with fear, wanting to escape the sword formation.

However, Mu Feng would not give it this chance.

He continuously commanded the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords in the sword formation to sweep towards its body.

It didn't even have time to revert to its original form before it was killed by a large number of sword threads.

"No!!!"

With a cry of unwillingness,

the brawny man, transformed from the Crimson Serpent Fire Dragon, was cut into pieces by the sword formation and scattered across the ground.
