Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 109 - 108 Demon Flood Dragon

Tie Dan never truly wanted to face catastrophes alone, nor did he enjoy being ganged up on all the time. He simply never expected anyone to step up and help him. If he could indeed find one or two reliable allies, it would be quite beneficial.

That Huan Tianyuan had such strong muscles and came prepared; it seemed he practiced Cross Training Gang Fist and was adept with the Dragon Slayer Crossbow. At least there was a slim chance of breaking through the dragon’s armor, perhaps even a little help.

But the spot where the scales on the Dragon Head were peeled wasn’t ideal, located right between the eyes and directly on the face, making a sneak attack difficult. Still, it’s more reliable than some vases that just sit around uselessly, right?

And honestly, what’s with these people and fish? Why do they always drool into his mouth; it’s disgusting...

Tie Dan shook his head, dismissing these messy thoughts, while rapidly thinking of strategies, and charged through the Fire Sea toward the Flood Dragon, determined to face it in a life-and-death battle...

"Roar—!"

Then a dragon’s roar sounded, shaking the earth and mountains, as a massive shadow rose like a towering mountain, soaring into the sky! Scattered stones and fireballs around it fell like a meteor fire rain, turning the streets into a Fire Sea.

Moments later, another loud "boom!" was heard. The Demon Flood Dragon, soaring across the skyline, easily leaped hundreds of feet, landing on the high platform of the Tongguan Palace. It turned its head, its four-pupil dragon eyes blinking, looking down on the masses locked in the Ye Capital, shared with this predator hanging overhead.

Tie Dan was dumbfounded.

That damn thing can fly; with one flap, it covered half the city...

There was no other choice but to turn back and chase it...

"Whinny! Whinny!"

Suddenly, Tie Dan heard familiar neighs, turned his head to see the Gen Army’s new recruit barracks passing by. There were still many military horses trapped in the Fire Sea, and he immediately came up with an idea, swiftly sweeping away the wildfires with several Sword Winds, then responded with a series of barks, "Woof woof woof!"

Luckily, these military horses were unlike the new recruits; they were trained and listened to commands, capable of breaking through thickets and charging through formations. Naturally, they understood the commands of man and dog, recognized the armor of the Gen Army, quickly reorganized, and followed Tie Dan’s barks as he gave orders.

The situation was urgent; there was no time to saddle up. Tie Dan leapt onto a horse, squeezed the horse’s belly, and vaulted over a railing, twisting his waist and stretching his ape-like arm to capture a Copper Crane King Banner of the Gen Army. It waved in the wind, leading the horse team out through the flames!

The dragon roared, horses neighed, wind howled, and fire burned, as the crisp sound of horse hooves echoed through the streets and alleys of Ye Capital.

Tie Dan galloped madly along the main avenue of Ye Capital, charging through the fire and smoke, waving the flag at the entrance of Tongguan Palace, standing before the ferocious and bloodthirsty Demon Flood Dragon atop the building, shouting boldly,

"Beast! You’ve lost all conscience! Bringing chaos upon the world! I’m going to take you down today!"

"Ha ha ha ha haha, I’m so scared!"

Who would have thought the Demon Flood Dragon could speak like a human, turning its head and revealing a face surprisingly similar to a human’s, as if its dragon head and horse face had been flattened by a spatula. Its scales spread out like a sunflower, shocking Tie Dan.

How did it grow to look like this all of a sudden?

Images and knowledge flashed through Tie Dan’s mind rapidly as if an internal voice told him.

That’s how dragons are; the more they eat, the bigger they grow, evolving into whatever is strongest, endlessly, and unstoppable.

Natural Dragon Seeds possess some Divine Skills, able to grow or shrink, ascend or hide, transform in myriad ways. But generally, they morph into whatever they crave; for example, to hunt a Qilin, they grow a horse face. But if they crave the heart of a human, they begin to morph into human form.

Oh, you like eating humans, huh.

Tie Dan made a quick decision, raising his sword embryo high without a word and activated it!

"Taibai Sword Shadow!"

"Zing!"

Amidst the thick smoke and Fire Sea that covered the sky, a single bright light erupted, shining like the Heavenly Star!

The Taibai Sword Shadow, harnessing the Star Power from above, projected from the sword blade, stabbing directly in the face!

"Aw—!"

The Demon Flood Dragon screamed! Unexpectedly, the Taibai Sword Shadow struck right between its brows, where the Dragon Scale Shattering point was, instantly causing a fountain of blood! Blackish-red Dragon Blood spattered everywhere, scorching and melting large chunks of tiles and bricks, steaming up thick smoke!

Almost! Just a little more, but it didn’t pierce through!

The root bone hadn’t healed, lacking Star Power and sword power; it couldn’t kill it with a single strike!

"Ant—! I’ll kill you! Crack crack—"

Enraged, the Demon Flood Dragon opened its huge maw, sparking flames within!

"Woof woof woof!"

Tie Dan roared and swiftly switched horses, waving the Copper Crane King Banner and set them in a gallop!

"Woosh—! Boom!!"

Just a hair’s breadth apart! The massive Dragon Ball fireball whistled, bringing sweltering wind, sliding through the sky, blasting the blue-brick avenue of Ye Capital, creating a large crater like an iron cart, sending sand and stones flying!

"Woof woof woof!"

Tie Dan waved the king’s flag, barking and roaring, guiding the horse team to sprint around the Copper Crane Platform! Occasionally looking back and flashing the sword light at the Demon Flood Dragon atop the platform!

"Crack! Crack crack... Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Demon Flood Dragon was cunning too, knowing Tie Dan’s sword light was powerful, coiling atop the high platform, hiding its head behind the Copper Crane Platform, while avoiding the sword light, storing power to spit fire! Fireballs continually shot out, roaring and bombing at the horse team!

Tie Dan galloped fiercely, directing the horse team to maneuver around pillars, dodging and counter-shooting!

Sometimes zigzagging, sometimes splitting left and right, using formations that dodged catapulted stones and arrows in Killing Formations to evade the chain fireball spitting at them. Agilely, he leapt and switched on horseback, maintaining charge speed, ensuring no steed lagged, trapped in the Fire Sea!

Okay, keeping the Demon Flood Dragon trapped on the Copper Crane Platform for a moment shouldn’t be that hard.

After all, Tie Dan had refined his horsemanship and riding skills on the grasslands, though ordinary dogs could only run behind horses; those nobles spent nights with prostitutes and days sleeping, nowhere to tend horses, weren’t they all under Tie Dan’s care?

Thinking back, although life was tough in Shuofang, he learned a lot. At this moment, amidst the roaring Fire Sea, riding fast under the Demon Flood Dragon’s nose, Taunting it, Tie Dan suddenly burst into song.

"The wind ends and rages, smile upon me, jest and mock, my heart mournful.

The wind ends and dusts, kind return, come not, come not, my thoughts linger."

Lady Yuan sang this often; Tie Dan never understood it then, only that whatever she sang sounded beautiful. But now, gaining knowledge over centuries, he suddenly understood.

The song was called "End of the Wind," a Kan Country folk song, about a wife abused and abandoned by her husband, comparing his wild and violent temper to a storm, expressing the complex feelings of love and hate, hopelessness and inability to let go. Though sung beautifully, the meaning...

Tie Dan could only lament; his lack of education made him unaware of Lady Yuan’s suffering. He always thought she was lively, singing and dancing in the snow, quite happy...

Exploding fire clouds swept like tsunamis, scorching heat blowing the royal banner flapping like wind; under the flare of fire, the young knight galloped, singing loudly, his shadow dancing on the city walls, echoing in the avenues, striking a chord in the hearts of Genzhou people.

Crouching by the walls, hiding under brick walls, lying in the grass, prone by riverbanks, countless people held their breath, gazing at the radiant Copper Crane Platform, watching the young knight ride through fire and wind, bravely fighting the dragon. Together, their hearts beat with the rhythmic hoofbeats and the melody’s tempo, pounding, pounding, genuinely praying from their hearts.

Please, you must win.

The Demon Flood Dragon was also enraged!

Damn you, charging alone with a sword and horse to slay a dragon is one thing! But singing a mountain song during a fight? Don’t you see me as a threat!!

With a "Roar—!" the dragon’s cry shook the night sky, earth-shattering, shaking the ground and mountains!

"Crack! Crack crack crack! Crack crack!"

Sparks burst in the dragon’s throat! Fire clouds gathered! A brilliant light unseen before built up in its mouth!

A major attack was coming!

Then Tie Dan sensed two strands of Divine Sense, locking onto him front and back, instantly understanding!

The moment had come!

Now is the time!

"Beast!"

He galloped, stopping his horse with a kick! Leaping off with the king’s flag! Charging up the copper steps of the Copper Crane Platform!

Tie Dan! Facing the dragon’s blazing fire breath like a scorching sun! Leaping out! High in the air, charging at the Demon Flood Dragon’s head!

"Die—!"

"Roar—!"

"Boom—!"

In an instant! The plasma-like dragon roar beam blasted forth! A straight shot! Aimed at the knight who hurled himself forward to die, locked by Divine Sense!

Simultaneously! A flash of gold light! From the City Gate Tower behind the youth! The Dragon-Slaying Spear thundered forth! Using Tie Dan as a pole target! Silently veiling its fierce killing intent!

In this moment! Tie Dan! Turbo Divine Skill! Blood Shadow Shifting! Swish, disappeared from the Demon Dragon’s sight!

"Boom!"

The death ray’s dragon breath shot straight on! Flattening the distant tower, turning it to ashes!

"Aw—!"

In earth-shattering screams! Blood sprayed everywhere! The Dragon-Slaying Spear hit accurately, stabbing right into the Demon Flood Dragon’s forehead!

The long spear pierced bone! In deep into the dragon’s head! The Demon Dragon raised its head in agony! Its blazing breath sweeping across the sky like a fireblade slicing the Sky Dome!

"Awoo awoo aahh!"

Hit the vital point! Yet the Demon Dragon didn’t die! It truly had thick blood!

But this strike, it couldn’t withstand, wounded! Hurting! Afraid!

Howling painfully! Pressing down with its four claws, its bulk already airborne, ready to take flight and flee!

Can you escape?

A flash of blood light!

Tie Dan whistled in, landing on the dragon’s face! Bursting with force! Gang Power striking with full might! Kicking at the spear handle!

"The one who kills you!

Is Genzhou Huan Tianyuan!!"

"Boom!"

Blood flashed, the Dragon-Slaying Spear burst through the skull! Grabbing brain matter and flesh! "Ding!" pinning into the copper platform on Copper Crane Platform, embedding a full ten feet deep!

The Demon Dragon died staring at the boy, stained purple-red by dragon blood spray, eyes dilating, body collapsing like a broken eel, falling from mid-air, sliding from the high platform to the ground.

The Demon Dragon.

Dead.
