Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1660 - 697: True Dragon
At this moment, Guo Linn had already cast numerous spells intermittently. Although it hadn’t consumed too much, it was not insignificant either. In dealing with this Sixth Grade Yuan Beast, Guo Linn had consumed a large amount of True Qi, and he was already feeling that there wasn’t much True Qi left in his body.
Ah Du’s situation was slightly better than Guo Linn’s, but facing this Sixth Grade Yuan Beast with extraordinarily tough fur, his swordsmanship attacks inflicted only minor damage. Up until now, this Yuan Beast still had quite a bit of strength left.
If it weren’t for the formation laid out by Ding Fan that blocked the Sixth Grade Yuan Beast’s attacks on one side and protected Guo Linn and Ah Du on the other side, these two would have already fallen at the hands of this Yuan Beast. However, both of them were feeling heavy-hearted, unsure if they could hold on.
After all, this Sixth Grade Yuan Beast was not that easy to deal with. At present, the True Qi of the two had almost been depleted, yet the Yuan Beast was still full of fighting power. This was not a good thing for Guo Linn and Ah Du, but they both believed that they could handle it.
After all, they still had the advanced array formation set up by Ding Fan on their side. Obviously, even this advanced array could not be easily broken by the Seventh Grade Yuan Beast, let alone a Sixth Grade one. Ah Du also understood a little about formations, and observing the current degree of the array’s consumption, he believed without a doubt that this Sixth Grade Yuan Beast could not break this advanced defensive array.
After all, this was a Seven Stars advanced defensive array; not even a Seventh Grade Yuan Beast could easily break through it. At this moment, Guo Linn was continuously casting flames. Though the fur of this Sixth Grade Yuan Beast had been scorched, it endured enormous pain and kept roaring at Guo Linn and Ah Du.
Meanwhile, Ah Du continuously stabbed the Yuan Beast’s body with the flying sword, but its hide was too thick. Several attacks from Ah Du did not have a lethal effect on it. For a moment, Ah Du could not even pinpoint the most lethal weak spot of this Sixth Grade Yuan Beast.
Suddenly, Ah Du’s eyes lit up and he said to Guo Linn:
"Stop the flames, try releasing Cold Qi!"
"Alright."
Guo Linn promptly agreed, immediately ceasing the flame attack, reciting some spells under his breath while making strange gestures with his hands. Subsequently, a large amount of Cold Qi was released from his hands, rushing towards the Sixth Grade Yuan Beast. Instantly, the previously charred skin and flesh of the Yuan Beast were covered with a layer of frost, making it howl in pain, the agony was imaginable.
Despite the Sixth Grade Yuan Beast’s pain, it still frantically attacked the defensive array, seemingly even more violently than before. In no time, its body was sheathed in a thick layer of ice, but this didn’t hinder its movements too much.
However, Ah Du seized the opportunity, wielding the longsword, and performed successive sword techniques continuously. The Yuan Beast’s flesh and ice clinging to its thick flesh were slashed off by Ah Du. In a short time, the entire Sixth Grade Yuan Beast had been stripped of a thick layer of flesh, with blood flowing copiously, streaming to the ground and eventually freezing into thick ice streaked with blood.
Bang~
In a moment, the Sixth Grade Yuan Beast fell to the ground, completely dead.
Seeing this scene, Guo Linn and Ah Du breathed a slight sigh of relief, but they didn’t have much time to rest. As the gigantic Sixth Grade Yuan Beast collapsed and died, numerous other Yuan Beasts howled and rushed forward again. However, these Yuan Beasts were much weaker compared to the Sixth Grade one.
Guo Linn persisted in continuously releasing Cold Qi, instantly freezing all the incoming Yuan Beasts again. For a moment, thick ice walls again blocked the entire passage. Seeing this scene, Guo Linn and Ah Du finally heaved a sigh of complete relief, and the surroundings quieted down slightly.
But before they could catch their breath, a booming sound came from the ground once more, even louder and more urgent this time. Guo Linn instinctively spread out his divine sense and discovered that several Six Star Yuan Beasts had emerged in the passage. This time, it wasn’t just one Sixth Grade Yuan Beast, but as many as three to five of them.
"Oh my god!"
Guo Linn felt a pang of agony in his heart and couldn’t believe so many Sixth Grade Yuan Beasts had appeared. This was slightly exaggerated. At this moment, Guo Linn and Ah Du hadn’t even rested for half a minute before so many Sixth Grade Yuan Beasts charged again. Guo Linn looked terrified and was extremely worried as he said to Ah Du:
"Can our formation withstand it?"
Ah Du looked just as gravely at the Yuan Beasts outside, equally worried. Hearing Guo Linn’s words, he replied uncertainly:
"I don’t know, I’m afraid the formation won’t hold for too long!"
"Am I ultimately going to die in this Xuantian Secret Realm? With just less than two days left, this is a bit too unjust!"
Despair flashed through Guo Linn’s heart as he thought about how difficult it was to deal with just one Sixth Grade Yuan Beast before. Now that so many Yuan Beasts had arrived, how could they be their opponents? The thought of not surviving in the Xuantian Secret Realm left a deep sense of disappointment and despair in Guo Linn’s heart...
"There’s no other way, we can only fight with all we’ve got. If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to retreat!"
Ah Du said grimly.
"But even if we retreat, in the end, won’t we still die in that Sword Washing Pool... With so many Yuan Beasts, I’m afraid even big brother can’t handle it?"
Guo Linn said with a face full of anxiety.
Ah Du heard Guo Linn’s words and knew that what he said was correct. With so many Yuan Beasts, even if they retreated, how far could they retreat? After all, it’s a dead end inside. In the end, they would still die in that Sword Washing Pool. At this moment, they had less than two days left to leave here alive, but didn’t expect such a situation to occur.
Suddenly, Ah Du remembered something and said:
"That’s right, there’s a stone gate at the entrance of the Sword Washing Pool. If we can’t hold on later, we can retreat into the Sword Washing Pool and then shut the stone gate. I think we can hold them off for a while; as long as we last two days and two nights, we can be teleported away!"
"You’re thinking a bit too optimistically, aren’t you? That stone gate at the Sword Washing Pool isn’t even as solid as my Ice Wall. It might only barely stop these Yuan Beasts’ attacks. I’m afraid that for these Yuan Beasts, it would take only half a day to break through. By then, wouldn’t we be completely done for in there?"
Guo Linn disagreed strongly, even though he currently had no solution either. He knew the other’s method was not viable. They had to stay there for almost two days and two nights. That time wasn’t really long, but facing such ferocious Yuan Beasts, wanting to escape with their lives was indeed a bit too long.
Ah Du heard Guo Linn’s words and was about to retort when suddenly a serious voice came through:
"Guo Linn is right, we can’t retreat. Not only is the stone gate not sufficient to stop the Yuan Beasts’ assault, but the Sword Washing Pool is already highly unstable. The formation passed down from ancient times won’t hold for long. Plus, with that giant creature outside constantly attacking, I’m afraid it won’t take half a day before this place collapses!"
Guo Linn and Ah Du were both startled when they heard this. Less than half a day before collapse!
The two turned around to see who spoke, and who else could it be but Ding Fan.
Boom boom boom...
A series of crisp sounds, as those Sixth Grade Yuan Beasts had already reached the thick Ice Wall, layers of the Ice Wall were being shattered.
Everyone watched this scene with shock and urgency, unsure of what to do, until Guo Linn said to Ding Fan:
"Big brother, is the formation inside broken? What should we do now?"
Just as Guo Linn asked about the formation, he suddenly remembered that he did observe the presence of Sixth Grade Yuan Beasts in the passage with his Divine Sense. He realized the big brother must have broken the formation. Before Guo Linn could send out his Divine Sense for thorough observation, Ding Fan, with a serious expression, said:
"The array suppressing Divine Sense has been broken, you can check outside now. We only have one path, and that’s to fight our way out!"
"Fight our way out?" Ah Du was stunned, looking at Ding Fan, wanting to argue but hesitating, choosing instead to use his Divine Sense to carefully examine the surroundings and the outside of the cave. Naturally, Guo Linn was also using his Divine Sense to observe the outside.
After the examination, both were even more shocked, their complexions changing!
"Dragon?"
"Dragon?"
Guo Linn and Ah Du said in unison, as both were awestruck by the sight outside the cave. They couldn’t believe they actually detected a True Dragon soaring in the sky, a golden-yellow dragon. It was just unbelievable!
They knew dragons existed only in legends, despite many tales of dragons in the Cultivation World, and many cultivators claiming to have seen True Dragons. However, nobody could verify such claims.
But in cultivation, everyone knew, although no one had seen a True Dragon, there were certainly beings akin to True Dragons, like Flood Dragons, which indeed existed. So many cultivators believed there might indeed be Dragons in the Cultivation World, considering Flood Dragons were real, True Dragons weren’t impossible.
But for Guo Linn and Ah Du, it was their first time witnessing a True Dragon, and it was just too incredible. They had no concept of what level such a True Dragon would be among Yuan Beasts, whether Eight Star or Nine Star.
Although Guo Linn and Ah Du didn’t know, they were aware that the power of this coiling True Dragon was no joke. Seeing powerful Yuan Beasts outside fleeing in panic, some being Sixth or Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts, they realized even such mighty creatures were escaping, not daring to face the True Dragon directly.
After all, this True Dragon was no joke; Guo Linn and Ah Du knew in front of this True Dragon, they were mere child’s play, weren’t they?
