“ARGHHH—!”
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
At the exact moment the 100-zhang-long flaming sword energy was about to cleave down onto the frozen head of the Wind-Thunder Dragon—
Its massive body suddenly trembled violently!
The thick layer of ice covering its body exploded apart instantly, sending countless shards of ice scattering across the sky!
“BANG!”
The flaming sword energy slashed directly onto the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s head while it was still biting down on the Golden Dragon Lion’s neck!
The black scales on its skull shattered immediately, and blood burst forth, drenching its entire head. Yet even so, its skull still did not crack apart!
“ROOOOAR—!”
The Wind-Thunder Dragon let out a furious roar filled with pain and rage!
It had never expected that a mere human ant would actually be capable of injuring it through a sneak attack!
Suddenly, its gigantic dragon tail whipped through the air with terrifying force, smashing toward Tan Yun like a bolt of divine lightning!
RUMBLE—!
The dragon tail tore through space itself, leaving countless spatial cracks in its wake!
“Primordial Divine Steps!”
SWOOSH!
Although Tan Yun narrowly avoided a fatal hit, the sharp dragon scales still grazed his right shoulder head-on!
SLASH!
The flesh on his right shoulder was ripped apart instantly, exposing white bone beneath!
“You oversized beast! Let’s kill it together!”
Tan Yun roared furiously, gripping his swords tightly as spiritual energy erupted around his body. He shot downward like a meteor, aiming straight for the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s left eye!
“ARGHHHH—!”
While the Wind-Thunder Dragon staggered from pain, Tan Yun’s sword viciously pierced straight into its left eye!
PUCHI!
Despite the grievous injuries covering his body, Tan Yun completely ignored the pain.
At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind—
Kill it!
His figure vanished like a phantom before instantly reappearing beneath the Golden Dragon Lion’s neck.
His left hand grabbed tightly onto the lion’s long mane while his body hovered midair. At the same time, his right hand flicked outward without hesitation!
FWISH!
The Flaming Dance Divine Sword shot through the air before accurately stabbing into the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s right eye!
STAB!
“ROOOOOOOOAR—!”
The Wind-Thunder Dragon released a shrill scream that pierced the heavens!
After releasing its bite on the Golden Dragon Lion’s neck, it began thrashing wildly in madness. Its 300-zhang-long body twisted violently without end as it desperately tried to escape with its life!
“ROAR!”
The Golden Dragon Lion violently shook its head and instantly charged forward!
Meanwhile, Tan Yun used the opportunity to retreat more than 100 zhang away from beneath its neck before waving his hand to recall the Flaming Dance Divine Sword lodged in the dragon’s eye.
The Golden Dragon Lion spread its gigantic wings and tightly pinned down the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s body with its massive claws before crashing directly into a nearby mountain peak!
“BOOOOOOM—!”
The earth shook violently as the mountain collapsed into ruin!
The Golden Dragon Lion drove the Wind-Thunder Dragon straight through the towering mountain, creating a gigantic tunnel through the entire peak before continuing for dozens of li and diving toward the enormous waterfall below!
Midair, it violently flipped its body before slamming the Wind-Thunder Dragon onto the giant rocks beneath the waterfall with overwhelming force!
RUMBLEEEE!
Water exploded everywhere as monstrous waves surged outward in all directions!
Having lost both eyes and covered in severe wounds, the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s struggles gradually weakened…
BUZZ!
A streak of sword light descended from the sky and accurately slashed toward the dragon’s neck!
CRACK!
The black scales around its neck shattered instantly!
WHOOSH!
A graceful figure flew through the air as Gongsun Ruoxi landed atop the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s neck before fiercely plunging her sword deep into its throat!
“Ruoxi, be careful!”
Using the Hongmeng Divine Step, Tan Yun descended rapidly from above the waterfall.
At the exact instant he grabbed Gongsun Ruoxi’s right arm and pulled her back more than 10 zhang away—
BOOOOOM!
An incomparably dazzling surge of lightning suddenly erupted from the back of the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s neck!
The surrounding space shattered violently as horrifying cracks spread everywhere like broken porcelain!
Gongsun Ruoxi’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
If Tan Yun had been even a single step slower—
That terrifying lightning power would have blown her body into pieces on the spot!
“Ruoxi, do not get close to it unless you are absolutely certain! No matter what, it’s still a 3rd-level Tribulation Realm demonic beast. Even an accidental strike from it could kill us instantly!”
Tan Yun warned in a grave voice.
“Attack from long range and slowly wear it down!”
“Understood!”
Gongsun Ruoxi nodded, though her face was still slightly pale from the fear she had experienced moments ago.
Then, both she and Tan Yun stepped onto their flying swords and shot into the sky!
With a mere flick of their wrists—
Countless streaks of sword light rained toward the Wind-Thunder Dragon like a violent storm!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Sword energy continuously slammed into the dragon’s body. Black scales shattered apart while fresh blood sprayed endlessly through the air!
“Big guy, hold it down! Ruoxi and I will finish it ourselves!” Tan Yun shouted loudly.
“ROOOOAR!”
The Golden Dragon Lion let out a heaven-shaking roar. Its 4 massive claws pierced through the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s body before lifting the mangled creature into the air and violently smashing it against the rocky cliff beside the waterfall!
BOOOOMMM!
The Wind-Thunder Dragon roared madly in fury and instantly bit down on the Golden Dragon Lion’s foreleg with its gigantic jaws!
It intended to bite off that foreleg first, then tear apart the other 3 legs before escaping!
But what drove it into despair was—
Although its fangs ripped apart the Golden Dragon Lion’s flesh and skin, it still could not bite through the bones!
It simply could not understand!
As a king among countless 3rd-level Tribulation Realm demonic beasts, how could it possibly lose to a mere 3rd-stage growth flying lion?!
At that very moment—
Tan Yun and Gongsun Ruoxi appeared above the Golden Dragon Lion’s head atop their flying swords.
The two unleashed their sword energy with full force!
Every streak of sword light struck the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s body with flawless precision!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Before long, more than 2/3 of the black scales covering the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s body had been shattered and torn away…
SLASH! SLASH!
After 10 breaths of time—
The Wind-Thunder Dragon completely stopped struggling.
Its blood-soaked corpse, over 300 zhang long, had been hacked into dozens of mangled pieces!
Even after death, its dragon fangs still remained embedded in the Golden Dragon Lion’s foreleg!
“ROAR!”
The Golden Dragon Lion violently shook its foreleg, sending the severed dragon head flying dozens of zhang away!
“Huff… Huff…”
The Golden Dragon Lion breathed heavily while blood continued pouring from the massive wounds across its neck and chest.
Clutching his own sunken chest, Tan Yun asked worriedly,
“Big guy, are your injuries serious?”
“Roar!”
The Golden Dragon Lion revealed an almost human-like expression, as though it were smiling.
Clearly, the injuries were not fatal.
Tan Yun finally let out a sigh of relief before collapsing onto the ground and taking deep breaths of the cold, fresh air in exhaustion.
Gongsun Ruoxi looked at him with gratitude in her eyes.
“Tan Yun… thank you for saving me.”
“It’s nothing.”
A faint smile appeared on Tan Yun’s pale face.
“You are Siyao’s friend, so that makes you my friend as well. There’s no need to be polite.”
“At the very least, since I saved you, I’ll be able to explain things to Siyao later.”
Gongsun Ruoxi’s heart trembled slightly before she asked with concern,
“Tan Yun… is Junior Sister Zhongwu safe?”
“She’s fine. She already went ahead to wait for us at the rendezvous point.”
Tan Yun replied,
“Let’s rest a little longer before heading back.”
Half a shichen later.
Tan Yun stood up and had the Golden Dragon Lion bite open the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s skull to retrieve the black lightning-element beast core inside.
Afterward, the Golden Dragon Lion flew more than 100 li away toward the collapsed mountainside and brought back the severed wind-element dragon head of the Wind-Thunder Dragon.
It bit open the skull once more and retrieved the wind-element beast core as well.
After Tan Yun stored away both beast cores—
Gongsun Ruoxi helped support him onto the Golden Dragon Lion’s back.
Then, the Golden Dragon Lion spread its gigantic wings and soared into the sky, carrying the 2 of them toward the distant forest over 1,500,000 li away…
3 days later.
Nangong Yuqin guided her spirit boat down into a beautiful and tranquil valley located approximately 150,000 li west of the entrance to the God Burial Abyss.
At this moment, several thousand disciples from the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace had already gathered within the valley.
The instant they saw Nangong Yuqin, everyone bowed respectfully and spoke in unison,
“Greetings, Saintess!”
“Mhm.”
Nangong Yuqin replied coldly, her expression unusually heavy.
After stepping off the spirit boat, she walked straight toward a nearby cave without even glancing back once.
“Qinxin, come inside with me. I have something to ask you.”
“Yes… Yes, Saintess…”
A female disciple hurriedly followed her into the cave.
Inside the cave.
Nangong Yuqin slowly turned around, her gaze cold as ice.
“At that time… you also participated in the Four Arts Competition, correct?”
“Now, I want to hear the truth.”
“After my battle with Tan Yun ended and I lost consciousness… what exactly happened?”
