Chapter 68 Severe Injury
Chapter 68 Severe Injury
Although Mu Chunfeng didn't have any extremely Yin possession techniques, he knew he couldn't really do nothing.
He gritted his teeth, slapped his storage bag, and dozens of array flags and a dozen palm-sized array plates shot out.
He transmitted his voice to Madam Wen, "Don't worry, Senior, just keep it occupied for another incense stick's time! I have a formation that can hold it off for a while!"
Amidst her busy schedule, Madam Wen glanced at him but said nothing.
Her spiritual power surged instantly, urging all her flying swords to launch a fierce attack on the fire dragon, once again clashing with it.
Mu Chunfeng didn't hear Madam Wen's reply, nor did he know whether she believed him or not; in any case, he himself didn't believe her.
He moved swiftly between the rock walls.
He drove the array flags into the designated rock crevices one by one, and placed the array plates in various corners.
However, the area of their battle was too large. Even a slight gust of residual force from their fight could shatter half of a rock wall. The array flags he had painstakingly set up were instantly shattered into pieces by the aftershocks.
Moreover, this place is too open and there is no advantageous location to set up an array.
To set up a complete formation here, at least several hundred array flags and array plates would be needed as nodes, and what he brought was not even one-tenth of that.
Of course, he was just putting on an act.
As long as Madam Wen sees that he is "trying hard" and feels that he still has value, she will not kill him the moment she has the chance.
Just then, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
The fire dragon seized an opening in Madam Wen's dodge, and its huge tail lashed out like a steel whip, whistling through the air, and struck Madam Wen squarely on the back.
"puff!"
Madam Wen spat out a mouthful of blood, and the protective aura around her body shattered instantly.
She flew out like a rag doll, crashing heavily onto the rock wall and sliding dozens of feet away, leaving a bloody trail on the scorching rock.
"Hahaha! You're so weak! You might as well just submit to me!"
The fire dragon let out a wild laugh, its eyes filled with cruel light.
Madam Wen struggled to take flight again, a ruthless determination flashing in her eyes.
She rapidly formed hand seals while chanting obscure incantations. Suddenly, the several flying swords around her blazed with spiritual light, transforming into countless fine, hair-like crimson sword threads that rained down like a storm, piercing every crevice in the fire dragon's body!
The fire dragon was still mocking Lady Wen for being so easily defeated and hadn't recovered in time. In addition, its huge body made it difficult to dodge the wide-range attack.
"Hiss hiss hiss—!"
Countless sword threads pierced the gaps in its scales in an instant, slicing countless deep, bone-revealing gashes across its body. Scalding dragon blood gushed out like a fountain, dripping into the lava with a sizzling sound.
"roar--!!!"
In excruciating pain, the fire dragon let out a piercing roar. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out an ancient, blue jade pendant.
The jade pendant flashed with light, erecting a thick cyan protective shield that blocked all the remaining sword threads.
"You beast, you actually possess an ancient treasure!"
Madam Wen exclaimed in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, the fire dragon spat out another crimson ring.
The ring expanded in the wind, instantly growing to tens of feet in size, carrying towering waves of fire and an aura of destruction, as it descended upon Madam Wen!
Madam Wen's face turned ashen, and she hurriedly summoned the luminous white magic mirror again to defend herself.
"Snap!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
That magic mirror, considered a top-tier artifact, was shattered into pieces by the ring of fire. The ring of fire, undeterred, continued its destructive trajectory, hurtling straight towards Madam Wen!
At the critical moment, Lady Wen's body suddenly radiated a powerful spiritual light.
Her entire body suddenly burst into flames, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into countless red sparks that danced in the air, drifting to the side.
"BOOM!!!"
The ring of fire slammed heavily against the rock wall, blasting out a huge crater tens of meters deep. The entire crater shook violently, and large sections of the overhead rock collapsed and fell into the magma, stirring up a rain of fire.
Sparks danced in the air as the fire dragon evaded its pursuit.
After a full half-incense stick's time, the sparks finally coalesced again into Lady Wen's form in the distance.
At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, her lips were bloodless, and her breath was extremely weak.
Using her innate divine power repeatedly had exhausted more than 90% of her spiritual energy. Leaning against the rock wall, she gasped for breath, and with each breath, a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.
"Hahaha! Your spiritual energy is exhausted, isn't it?"
The fire dragon laughed triumphantly and slowly approached Madam Wen.
"Surrender obediently and stay as my concubine, and I might spare your worthless life! Otherwise, I'll devour you alive!"
As it spoke, it opened its massive mouth again, preparing to unleash its dragon breath and completely subdue Lady Wen.
Seeing this, Mu Chunfeng knew she couldn't wait any longer.
Once Madam Wen dies, he will be next.
He suddenly transmitted his voice to Madam Wen, his tone resolute and unwavering: "Senior! I possess a secret technique of divine sense that can control it for a fleeting moment! When you strike with all your might, make sure it kills in one blow!"
"really?"
Madam Wen's weak voice came through, tinged with disbelief and surprise. She had been prepared to self-destruct her magic weapon and flee at the cost of her life, but she never expected that this unassuming Foundation Establishment youth would have such a trump card.
"Absolutely true!"
Upon receiving Mu Chunfeng's affirmative answer, Madam Wen gritted her teeth, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes.
She slammed her storage bag shut and pulled out her last treasured antique—a small, palm-sized, blue bell.
She poured the last bit of spiritual power in her body into the ancient bell.
"when--!"
A simple and melodious bell rang throughout the heavens and earth.
A solid, tangible sound wave spread out, like an invisible shackle, firmly fixing the fire dragon's body in place.
At the same time, she suddenly bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto her natal flying sword, actually burning her blood essence to stimulate her true energy.
The crimson flying sword shone brightly, transforming once again into hundreds of the most condensed sword threads, carrying all her hopes and killing intent, and swiftly stabbed towards the fire dragon's vital points!
"roar!"
The fire dragon let out a deafening roar.
"Stubborn to the end!"
It exerted its strength suddenly, its spiritual power surging, forcefully sending the ancient bronze bell flying. It opened its mouth to spew out dragon breath, while simultaneously activating the ancient treasure floating above its head—the cyan jade pendant.
At this critical moment—
Mu Chunfeng suddenly unleashed all of his divine sense!
The late-stage Core Formation cultivator unleashed his divine sense without reservation, locking onto the fire dragon's head.
At the same time, a divine sense attack as condensed as a steel needle instantly pierced into the fire dragon's sea of consciousness!
Demon cultivators are not good at cultivating their divine souls. Although this fire dragon has the cultivation of the early Nascent Soul stage, its divine sense is weaker than that of human cultivators of the same level.
Furthermore, since the fire dragon was completely focused on Madam Wen at this moment, Mu Chunfeng's all-out attack directly tore through its sea of consciousness defenses!
"ah--!!!"
The fire dragon let out a painful roar.
Its head shook violently, and its movements froze for a moment.
It was just that brief moment!
A life-or-death moment!
The hundreds of sword threads controlled by Lady Wen were like the sharpest scalpels, piercing through every part of its body with perfect precision!
"Pfft!"
The flames on the fire dragon's body instantly dimmed.
Its massive body swayed, then fell helplessly from the air, crashing heavily onto the stone ring, its lower body still submerged in the boiling lava. The scalding lava continuously washed over its wounds, making a sizzling sound.
