Chapter 340 - Big Brother Takes Action

Chapter 340 - Big Brother Takes Action


However, Gu Zuo also wasn’t dumb enough to think that this first round of attacks had inflicted heavy losses on the origin flood dragon and that the following matters would be easily resolved. On the contrary, while the flood dragon had initially underestimated the enemy, once it received these serious injuries, its brain, which had been blinded by complacency after evolving, would clear somewhat.


At this moment, the origin flood dragon recalled something. These members of the human race that it was battling had such vigorous qi and blood. They were certainly the exceptional offspring of the human race. With powerful weapons, they were capable of harming it!


Consequently, the origin flood dragon raised its guard as it suffered through the pain. It didn’t look negligent or casual like before.


Right now, it was a caged animal that hadn’t completely sank into a frenzy. It endured the pain, and finally displayed the might that belonged to a rank one origin beast!


The origin flood dragon opened its jaws, and spewed a torrent of black liquid! The targeted person was Bao Hong, who had stabbed its eyes!


But how could Bao Hong lack any vigilance?


After his strikes, Bao Hong strove to pull out his two halberds, and had flown towards a higher position. Those halberd tips brought out the stench of blood, and smeared the flood dragon’s eye sockets, preventing it from seeing its surroundings clearly. Then, Bao Hong had already flipped onto the flood dragon’s head. One hand exerted strength to grab the sinister thorns at the top of its skull. The other hand put away the two halberds, clenched into a fist, and condensed a mult.i.tude of profound qi streams. He started to bombard the head’s Tianling Acupoint!


It was only a pity that, while this profound qi was powerful, that origin flood dragon’s head would erupt with waves of splendor each time Bao Hong smashed down. This splendor cancelled out more than half of his attack strength. Even if Bao Hong held nothing back, he wouldn’t have been able to break through this defense.


Meanwhile, that black flood failed to hit Bao Hong, but within the range of that stream was the Ice Phoenix G.o.ddess who was using her profound cultivation method. At this moment, the wild bird flew swiftly to get out of the way. Unfortunately, it was an instant too late, which allowed a few feathers to be soaked by that powerful current. In a split second, those feathers were scorched black.


The bird promptly let out a miserable cry, and staggered backwards through the air. The Ice Phoenix G.o.ddess abruptly floated up. She waved a hand, and created a sheet of ice powder to freeze the bird’s injury. Then, she lightly flicked her sleeve, and ordered that wild bird to retreat.


Presently, Mu Baizhi was like the other prodigies. She relied on her own body’s profound qi to stay in the sky, and didn’t use another mount.


Of course, this origin flood dragon wasn’t only spraying poison.


Its sharp claws stretched forward. At once, the talon tips were coated in a layer of black qi, and the soft areas between the talons were covered with a layer of fine scales. Under this claw swipe was what appeared to be a type of unusual martial skill. As it broke through the s.p.a.ce that separated them, the talons grabbed at Qi Xuanao in an incomparably strange way!


Qi Xuanao reacted extremely quickly. His weapon was a golden-level great saber. It was thick, heavy, and sharp, and its might was inexhaustible. At this time, his body stretched taut. The muscles on his arms bulged, and he used all of his strength as his saber crossed paths with those sharp talons!


The edge of the saber sc.r.a.pped over the scales, producing a clear and clamorous screech.


Sure enough, the golden-level great saber was unyielding, and it wasn’t damaged by the sharp talons. Although some traces of the flood dragon’s poison had contaminated it, the poison quickly faded away due to the cleansing saber qi. There wasn’t the slightest impact.


However, only a few white scratches appeared on those scales. And through the qi flow revolutions of the origin flood dragon’s entire body, these marks were also quickly disappearing.


Apart from Qi Xuanao being pushed back a dozen or so meters by that terrifying strength, this collision didn’t injure that flood dragon in the least. How could it still be so easy like before when they caught it off-guard?


At the same time, while Fan Meng was attacking the flood dragon’s body, its scales circulated with rays of light, which easily obstructed the prodigy. As for Gongyi Tianheng, he was located at the flood dragon’s tail. That lengthy tail suddenly made a horizontal sweep, and even s.p.a.ce was split apart by that thrashing. Where would he still be able to attack? It was inevitable that he had to dodge to the left or right so that he wasn’t whipped and injured by that tail!


During these couple of rounds, the battle between both sides suddenly intensified. In an instant, the situation turned white-hot as if everyone’s lives were on the line.


Yet, the battle remained deadlocked for a long time. The prodigies weren’t able to deal with the origin flood dragon, and the flood dragon also wasn’t able to handle these prodigies.


Currently, its defenses were extremely tight. In addition, its form was enormous, and it roamed around in various directions. No matter how the prodigies wanted to target an area to a.s.sault, the origin flood dragon would often slip through their attacks after a struggle. It was hard to show any results.


Gradually, this battle turned into a war of attrition.


The profound qi consumption of the group of prodigies was severe. This was only because, every time they attacked, it would require incredibly large bursts of qi energy. Otherwise, the flood dragon’s wounds would be even smaller. However, these ma.s.sive attacks couldn’t be sustained for long. Once their internal qi was depleted and they were struck by that flood dragon, the aftermath would be too horrible to contemplate.


The prodigies weren’t stupid. Since a protracted battle was untenable, they had to think of another way.


Soon, the five stopped attacking. Their figures retreated, and immediately arrived in one place.


The Ice Phoenix G.o.ddess said: “Senior brothers, I’m afraid that we must join hands this time.”


Although Bao Hong and the others possessed the arrogance of prodigies, and didn’t want to collaborate with others to fight, it would obviously be even more shameful if they didn’t catch this origin flood dragon. Thus, they all grunted or huffed in tacit approval.


Tianheng spoke in a mild voice: “Although the flood dragon’s eyes and the soft flesh of its tail were previously wounded, this flood dragon is quite capable of healing itself. Currently, the situation has shifted in its favor. If we take too long, this will allow it to recover to full health. Therefore, I think that one of these two places have to be utterly destroyed. Immediately following this, the others will pin it down to break its skull, snap its neck, cut open its abdomen, and chop off its tail to kill the flood dragon. Merely, after damaging those areas, we must keep our guards up when its willpower suddenly enters a frenzied state, and it fights like a trapped animal. It would be unworthy if we are injured due to a moment of inattentiveness.”


The remaining prodigies heard what was said, and inwardly nodded.


They naturally had some plans in mind, but they fell short of Tianheng, whose thinking was so fast and comprehensive. Moreover, during this time when they needed to cooperate, these prodigies of bronze-ranked organizations certainly weren’t willing to serve under their counterparts. However, if Tianheng, this all-star prodigy, was called to unify and manage them, then their pride was somewhat willing to listen to him.


It had to be said that, although Tianheng hadn’t shown any skills that surpa.s.sed prodigies like them yet, the strength that he previously displayed had already caused them to acknowledge and accept him.


As for the things hidden even deeper, they naturally intended to get a look over the course of slaying the flood dragon.


In the presence of the woman he admired, Fan Meng wanted to show off his abilities. Now that he heard Tianheng’s words, he spoke accordingly: “It would be better to take its eyes first. Once it’s blind, no matter how crazy it gets, we’ll have an easier time dodging it.”


Qi Xuanao nodded his head: “Then, we’ll work together?”


Bao Hong said: “If we’re working together, we need to clarify what types of moves we’ll use, who’ll provide support, and who’ll be the main attacker. However, that origin flood dragon is about to catch up with us. We can’t waste any more time. We need to make a decision now.”


Tianheng glanced at the others, and faintly smiled: “If we’re attacking its eyes first, I actually possess an arrow technique that can strike from afar. If everyone hasn’t given up, why don’t you let me give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we can come up with something else.”


The Ice Phoenix G.o.ddess lightly said: “Since this liege is sure, then there’s no harm in trying.”


Fan Meng heard what she said, and his eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure.


Mu Baizhi seemed to have a rather favorable impression of this all-star prodigy… She had never been too close with anyone, but now she had taken the initiative to speak several times. Could it be that she had fallen for this pretty boy?


Although this really wasn’t the time to be jealous of a love rival, this suspicion still existed inside Fan Meng’s heart. A spark of jealousy couldn’t help igniting.


It was only because, while he knew that his own apt.i.tudes were incredible, his facial features weren’t very handsome. Although women nowadays admired strength, one’s appearances were the second most important thing. However, if two people were equally powerful, then women would naturally prefer the good-looking one even more.


Presently, within the borders of Ten Ultimates Sect, only prodigies were a match for the G.o.ddess. With regards to the adherent sects and forces, those who could compete with Fan Meng were only Bao Hong and Qi Xuanao.


Bao Hong’s skin was rough and his muscles were thick. His face also wasn’t attractive to women. Since the man himself didn’t care to understand amorous feelings, Fan Meng didn’t worry about him. As for Qi Xuanao, although he was handsome, he already had countless rosy-cheeked bedmates. He wasn’t the top choice for a husband. Originally, he believed that, after some time, Beast Taming Sect would be connected to Jade Flame Valley through marriage, allowing him to obtain Mu Baizhi. However, who would’ve thought that someone like Gongyi Tianheng would show up midway? Not only was it reported that this guy possessed stronger potential and greater power, even his features were blessed by the heavens!


In Fan Meng’s heart, he naturally felt a sense of crisis.


The uncertainty of what Mu Baizhi was expressing made it increasingly difficult for him to remain calm…


Fortunately, Fan Meng understood what was important at this moment, and forcibly stifled that trace of jealousy. Though, he still said: “Sister Baizhi’s words are correct. Since Prodigy Gongyi is this confident, it’s best that we hand this matter over to him. We can simply provide support on the side.”


There was a flicker of radiance in Qi Xuanao’s eyes. As for Bao Hong, he had a look of contemplation.


The two also nodded their heads, and said: “Alright.”


Tianheng knew that they all had schemes in their hearts, but he didn’t care. He came to eliminate the flood dragon only for the sake of revealing himself, recruiting manpower, and raising the sect’s reputation. He had nothing to fear if it was only him confronting that rank one origin flood dragon — With his abilities, while he wouldn’t have been able to kill the flood dragon, there would be no problems with making a clean escape.


It was at this point in time when he ought to fully display his capabilities, and it just so happened that he wanted to give it a try. After achieving the Immortal Realm, what kind of powerful might would burst forth from his reddish-gold qi ocean?


Hence, Tianheng smiled at the others, and said: “Everyone, please hold the lines.”


Once his words fell, the figures of the remaining four prodigies flashed away. In the blink of an eye, they moved a little more than a kilometer away to make room for him. Originally, the flood dragon was lunging and thrashing above the great river. Seeing that the numerous prodigies had departed, it promptly swiveled its crippled eyes all over the place in search of them.


That origin flood dragon quickly discovered the traces of several prodigies. At once, it turned its head, and soared over.


Tianheng was calm and unhurried as his hand grasped the void. In his palm, a greatbow had already appeared!


This bow was ten meters tall, and the entire frame was a fiery red. It wasn’t known what kind of material was used to forge it, but its color and l.u.s.ter was gorgeous, and it was incomparably heavy. Upon the bow, the bowstring was incredibly pliable and tough. The string was as thick as a finger, and it wasn’t easily pulled. However, once a person exerted themselves and drew the bow, there would be the sound of the shattered void without any oscillations! The bow was also equipped with several long arrows. Every arrow was solid and unyielding. When combined with this bow, extraordinary power would be unleashed. This power could split stone and sunder mountains!


This was also a golden-level spirit weapon. Tianheng traded for it in the sect using numerous human-level spirit weapons and other resources. He stored and raised it within his reddish-gold qi ocean for the purpose of archery.


Consequently, this bow was forged with ore that contained the power of the sun. As far as Tianheng was concerned, it could be said that this weapon greatly suited him. Now, once it was fired, the bow would increase its power even more, further strengthening the arrow!


When this greatbow was taken out, it faintly overflowed with the heat of the sun. It caused the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere to rise, and people’s foreheads wouldn’t be able to stop flowing with sweat.


Tianheng slightly restrained his gaze. One foot stepped onto the bow, one hand pulled the bowstring, and the other hand gripped an arrow and placed it onto the bow.


These movements were neither fast nor slow. It was like he didn’t see that the origin flood dragon was getting closer. But in fact, his actions were completed in an instant. At this moment, a layer of reddish-gold power suddenly erupted all over his body, which practically caused his pitch-black hair, eyes, and skin to turn reddish-gold!


The majestic power of the sun surged forth from the hollows of Tianheng’s palms. It transformed into a streak of reddish-gold light, and swiftly entered the bow! In the blink of an eye, the greatbow changed color, too. Blazing energy exploded outwards as if a scarlet sun had come into existence. This brilliant corona of light was bright and resplendent. It stung people’s eyes, and nearly brought them to tears.


After that, a reddish-gold arrow shattered the air!


Whoosh!


This force pierced through the sky. It was like a ball of solar flames had torn open s.p.a.ce, and its reflection turned all of the water of the Black Sand River into a field of golden fire.


In a flash, this arrow had already hurtled towards that origin flood dragon. Suddenly, one arrow became two — With one on the left and another on the right, both were heading straight at the flood dragon’s eyes!


As it turned out, this wasn’t a single arrow. Rather, two arrows had been sent out at the same time. Tianheng wanted to shoot out its eyes!


It was like that origin flood dragon was delivering itself to their doorstep as both dragon eyes welcomed the two arrows. Then, the long arrows instantly pierced and entered those eyes. There were sizzling and burning sounds. No matter how much that flood dragon shook its head, it couldn’t dislodge the arrows!


Gu Zuo’s eyes widened.


His big brother…was so awesome!



T/N: Happy holidays, everyone!
