"Don't even think about succeeding!"
Suddenly, a loud shout erupted from the endless darkness, and another black-clad figure, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared, delivering a powerful punch aimed directly at Jiang Xue's outstretched delicate fingers.
"Five Thunder Light Smoke Finger!"
"Azure Python Earth Shattering Fist!"
The two techniques, one hard and one soft, collided with each other in an instant, creating a violent explosion!
With a crack, it sounded as if a thunderclap had struck in the void, sending shockwaves that spread out like ripples, even pushing back the surrounding dark aura for a moment!
Both individuals were forced to retreat three steps from the backlash of this strike, standing firm as they regained their composure.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xue's Shen Walking Dragon Technique lost its effectiveness due to the absence of its master's control. Coupled with the thunderous sound of the clash, everyone gradually awakened from the illusion.
"I never expected that such a young girl would actually be a master who has opened the Five Dragon Veins! I underestimated her; what a miscalculation..." The black-clad figure wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, having suffered a hidden loss during the earlier confrontation.
"What..." Although Wang Long and the others had suspected Jiang Xue's cultivation level for some time, hearing it confirmed by the black-clad man still left them in disbelief.
After all, Jiang Xue appeared to be about the same age as them, and reaching the Third Dragon Vein opening was already recognized as a genius among the people of Dragon City. Yet Jiang Xue had surpassed them by two levels! Such talent could only be described as monstrous.
"Five Thunder Light Smoke Finger... indeed belongs to the fifth tier of Dragon Techniques. Its release is gentle and soft, like light smoke; however, upon contact with an opponent, it instantly erupts into boundless thunder, displaying unparalleled power and ferocity—it's an extremely profound technique. This Jiang Xue... truly extraordinary!"
"White Serpent, are you alright?" The black-clad figure asked without turning his head. His tone was cold, yet there was a hint of concern.
The White Serpent lowered her head and said somewhat shamefully, "It's nothing. I was too careless and underestimated my opponent; I fell for their trick. Thank you for saving me, Elder Brother!"
Azure Python grunted in acknowledgment and said solemnly, "This little girl has quite some skill; leave her to me. You should be able to handle those few young brats on your own, right?!"
The White Serpent raised her head. Behind her mask, only her eyes were visible. They glinted coldly as she nodded heavily.
"Good!" Azure Python shouted, immediately lunging towards Jiang Xue. The two engaged in a fierce battle.
Meanwhile, White Serpent fixed his eerie, cold gaze on Wang Long and the others. The earlier attack had left him feeling both guilty and furious, vowing to eliminate everyone who witnessed this scene.
Wang Long said solemnly, "This person must also be a master who has opened the Five Dragon Veins! We cannot underestimate him; let's all attack together!"
The others nodded in agreement, each calling out as they prepared to unleash their signature moves.
Li Xinghe struck with both fists, embodying the blazing sun and the Cold Moon, executing his signature technique, Sun and Moon in the Sky! His fists moved like two rotating wheels, radiating immense power as they struck towards the opponent.
Liu Chengyan, on the other hand, formed his fingers into claws. It seemed as if a wind was howling at his fingertips, slicing through the air with a hissing sound, like five sharp blades launching simultaneously—this was his Family Tradition technique, Wind Blade Five Finger Technique!
Wang Long also activated his Thunderfire Sky-Splitting Sword, transforming it into a three-foot-long beam of light that shot towards White Serpent!
Faced with the overwhelming attacks from the three top talents of Dragon City’s younger generation, White Serpent remained unfazed. Instead, he let out a cold snort and smirked mockingly before suddenly striking back!
With one move, he summoned three Snake Shadows from behind!
They were pure white in color, with eyes flashing like lightning and sharp fangs protruding menacingly!
As soon as the three Snake Shadows appeared, they surged forward at White Serpent's command, seemingly solid as they countered the trio's ultimate techniques!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With three loud crashes, all of their techniques were effortlessly shattered by White Radiance, dissipating into nothingness. The force of the impact sent all three of them stumbling back three feet before they could regain their balance.
"Impressive!"
All three felt a surge of shock within. Each had exerted nearly seventy to eighty percent of their strength and unleashed their ultimate techniques, yet they were all easily countered by a single move from their opponent, who maintained the upper hand!
"Masters who have broken through the Five Dragon Veins are indeed formidable! The gap in innate realms is too vast; even with three people working together, there is almost no chance of victory!"
"Hmph!" White Serpent sneered, mocking, "Now you should understand the gap between us! You people pride yourselves as born spirits, claiming to be the true heirs of heaven and earth, arrogant and self-important! But after today’s battle, what will it matter?! You will still obediently die at my hands! Hahaha!"
Wang Long felt a stir in his heart, puzzled by White Serpent's words. It seemed he was not just referring to the three of them but implied that the entire human race had enmity with him! Who exactly is this person...
Moreover... just now he used Dragon Soul, and the phantom that appeared behind him was not dragon-shaped but three White Pythons. What was going on? The opponent clearly used Dragon Techniques; why was Dragon Soul not in the proper dragon form?
Li Xinghe suddenly said, "The opponent uses Dragon Soul, and you all do not have it. Let me handle this!"
"But... although you possess a sixth-grade Dragon Soul granted by the Dragon Head within you, you have only opened Three Dragon Veins. You probably won't be able to unleash even half of its power; while the opponent's Dragon Soul may be somewhat strange and not as orthodox as ours in Dragon City, after all, they have opened Five Dragon Veins..." Liu Chengyan expressed some concern.
"Discussing this now is meaningless; we can only fight!" Li Xinghe's eyes flashed with cold light as he shouted angrily. Immediately, a three-zhang-long red Dragon Shadow rose behind him, baring its fangs and claws, soaring across the sky! Even in this boundless darkness, it radiated intense heat.
"Hmm? It’s actually a sixth-grade Flame King Dragon Soul! Good, good... The disciples of Dragon City indeed have innate advantages! To think such a young boy could be granted such a high-grade Dragon Soul! However, with your cultivation of Three Dragon Veins, do you really think you can wield a sixth-grade Dragon Soul to fight against me?!" White Serpent was initially taken aback but quickly regained composure and sneered.
"Go!" He suddenly shouted, and five White Python phantoms emerged behind him, each coiling menacingly. Although each was less than one zhang long and far inferior to Li Xinghe's Flame King Dragon Soul in might, their combined presence was even more imposing, matching Li Xinghe!
With his command, one White Python phantom surged forward first, opening its massive mouth to reveal its white fangs as it lunged at Li Xinghe.
Li Xinghe's expression changed sharply; sensing something from behind him, the Flame King Dragon Soul roared in response and charged fiercely at the White Python!
With a thunderous crash, the two collided, flames bursting forth. The flames surrounding the Flame King Dragon Soul dimmed slightly but quickly returned to their former intensity; however, the White Python let out a mournful cry and went limp.
"Hmph!" White Serpent coldly snorted. Suddenly swinging his right arm, two more White Python phantoms shot out in succession toward the Flame King Dragon Soul!
Bang! Bang!
After two resounding booms that shook the heavens and earth, both White Python phantoms vanished into nothingness. However, the Flame King Dragon Soul behind Li Xinghe also dimmed significantly; the fiery scales that composed its body seemed to have been stripped away, appearing somewhat dejected as if struggling for survival.
White Serpent let out a cold laugh, and the White Python behind it launched another attack!
Bang!
After this violent collision, the White Python surprisingly did not disappear. Instead, it was the mournful cry of Li Xinghe's Flame King Dragon Soul that echoed loudly, as dragon scales, dragon skin, and Dragon Bone gradually peeled away and dissipated, ultimately turning to ashes and vanishing into the air.
"Hahaha, ha... Flame King Dragon Soul! A sixth-grade Dragon Soul! In your hands, it's simply a waste! How does it feel to be shattered under my power?" White Serpent laughed wildly, its voice shaking the surroundings.
Li Xinghe stood in shock for a moment before suddenly feeling darkness envelop him. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and collapsed straight down.
Wang Long stepped forward to inspect him. It was known that once a Dragon Soul awakened, it became closely tied to its host. While it significantly increased one's combat power, if the Dragon Soul was damaged, it would inevitably affect the host and result in backlash.
With Li Xinghe's Flame King Dragon Soul completely defeated, his physical body was naturally gravely injured as well.
A glint of cold light flashed in Wang Long's eyes as he firmly locked onto White Serpent, saying coldly, "It's a pity that if you had used a bit more strength just now, you could have killed him completely. Unfortunately, now you probably won't have that chance! Your five Dragon Souls have already lost three; at this moment, your strength is likely only at thirty or forty percent!"
White Serpent shouted angrily, "So what if that's the case?! Kid, do you think I can't deal with you with just thirty or forty percent of my strength?!"
Wang Long let out a dismissive cold laugh: "Who is the hunter and who is the prey? It seems you still haven't figured that out!"
