Chapter 1054: Chapter 1054: Slaying the Flood Dragon (Part 2)

Under the oppressive might of the Trapping Dragon Grand Array, the Flood Dragon had been firmly suppressed right in front of the rock where the Dragon Attracting Grass was originally planted.

At this moment, the four-tier Demon King was covered in cuts and bruises, bloodied and looking utterly disheveled.

It very much had an air of being at the end of its rope.

However, when the seven swords struck in unison, it suddenly raised its head, fury raging in its dragon eyes, filled with endless hatred.

Roar~

In the next moment, the Flood Dragon let out another deafening roar, releasing a burst of icy breath from within its throat, hurtling towards the seven swords that had just slashed down.

Crack!

The intense friction sound was grating on the teeth, the nearly tangible breath of the Flood Dragon collided head-on with the Flying Swords imbued with the power of seven Golden Core True Persons, instantly creating an explosive effect.

Countless shards of ice scattered in all directions, all seven Flying Swords were shaken off, none able to break through the Flood Dragon’s defenses and hit it.

Not only that, amidst the Demon King’s roar, the wounds on its body rapidly closed and healed, and new scales began to regenerate at a visible rate.

Moreover, the new dragon scales were even thicker and more resilient than before!

Wang Chen, standing a hundred steps away from the fray, was utterly astounded by this scene.

He knew all too well just how powerful the combined strike of the seven swords was.

To think that the Flood Dragon trapped in the formation could shatter it in one blow and also recover its injuries.

Such might was truly terrifying and formidable!

It was clearly impossible for everyone to take down the Flood Dragon swiftly and decisively!

After shattering the seven swords, the Flood Dragon began to struggle vigorously, and in the blink of an eye, several strands of light binding it snapped.

The tide of the battle seemed to be turning in an instant.

The prey could very well become the hunter!

“Soldier!”

In this critical moment, Huangfu Yongchun’s voice rang out again, still full of resolve.

In the Haotian Realm where the hundred schools of thought do not prosper and only the Taoist lineage reigns supreme, the Taoist cultivation techniques and combat skills largely draw on the strengths of all these schools.

This Qijue Sword Formation included the concepts of the military strategists.

What Huangfu Yongchun shouted was the Soldier’s True Words!

With the utterance of the true words, the ground around the Flood Dragon broke apart once more, more beams of light shot out, winding around the Flood Dragon.

And including Wang Chen, the six True Persons manipulated their own Flying Swords, attacking from different directions!

Each Flying Sword shone with different lights, their auras interconnected and their powers supported each other. Whenever they struck the Flood Dragon, they would inevitably exert seven times their power.

That was the mystery of the Qijue Sword Formation.

Otherwise, no member of the Qijue Club, including Huangfu Yongchun at the pinnacle of Golden Core, could breach the defenses of a four-tier Demon King on their own.

As the battle reached this point, everyone abandoned the illusion of a quick resolution.

Now, what they needed to do was to grind down the Flood Dragon bit by bit!

Hiss~

A Flying Sword streaked across the Flood Dragon’s flank, cutting through the thick scales and leaving a long gash, with flesh turned inside out and a glimpse of the ghastly white dragon bones visible.

The Flood Dragon couldn’t help but let out a pained shriek as it fiercely rolled around on the ground, its tail slamming heavily into the stream.

Boom!

Water splashed sky-high, instantly turning into numerous icy blades and frosty edges, howling as they shot towards the seven people including Wang Chen, now that their figures were exposed.

Even though the Flood Dragon’s strength was heavily suppressed, its counterattack was still immensely strong.

Each icy blade and frost edge contained lethal power!

“Move!”

Huangfu Yongchun shouted sharply, and all seven True Persons, including himself, shifted and changed positions in unison.

The Flood Dragon’s counterattack completely missed its mark.

These icy blades and frost edges pierced through rocks upon impact and disappeared instantly when they entered the soil, creating devastation in the valley that made ones’s skin crawl at a mere glance.

The mana of the Golden Core True Person’s magical armor, absolutely unable to withstand it!

“Array!”

Huangfu Yongchun called out again, and Wang Chen and the others attacked simultaneously. Swords flew around the Flood Dragon, spiraling and dancing, bringing up countless fragments of scales and specks of fresh blood.

Even though the Flood Dragon’s wounds were continuously healing, they couldn’t withstand the siege of the seven swords. The freshly healed wounds were re-opened, creating even greater damage.

Even this fourth-tier Demon King with formidable vitality could not endure such devastation.

It roared again and again, suddenly coiling up its body.

This greatly reduced the attackable area, allowing parts of its body to recover promptly.

But such actions were clearly not the Flood Dragon’s way of shrinking back and lying flat; it coiled itself into several loops and raised its head, its dragon eyes fixating on Huangfu Yongchun, who was in command of the Array’s core, with a gaze filled with a deep and venomous hatred.

“You ants…”

A muffled voice emanated from the chest of the Flood Dragon, clearly entering everyone’s ears: “I will tear you all to pieces, devouring you bite by bite!”

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The next moment, like the beating of drums, heartbeats followed.

Also originating from within the Flood Dragon.

Including Wang Chen, all seven True Persons were simultaneously shaken, with crimson blood oozing from their mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.

Wang Chen felt darkness before his eyes, as if his chest was struck by a ten-thousand-pound hammer, so stifling that he could not breathe.

What kind of divine power was this?

His heart was very shocked.

Thump! Thump!

The heartbeat of the Flood Dragon continued to thunder, Wang Chen felt his own heart involuntarily catching up with the rhythm.

Pulsing regularly with it.

This is not right!

A sense of danger alerted Wang Chen that something terrible was happening.

His gaze swept over, only to find that including Huangfu Yongchun, all six of his comrades were struggling against the divinity of the Flood Dragon, their faces bloodied and vicious as blood flowed from their seven orifices.

Their faces were extremely pale.

After all calculations, they had still underestimated the strength of the Flood Dragon.

If this continued, everyone would be doomed!

Among the seven, Wang Chen’s condition was undoubtedly the best.

With a turn of his thoughts, he immediately spat out a bright, golden pill.

Immediately following, a pure white Dan pill flew out from Wang Chen’s mouth, colliding with the metallic round pill in front.

The two merged in an instant.

Swoosh!

A streak of golden light erupted right before Wang Chen’s eyes, sprinting a hundred steps in an instant, striking the Flood Dragon in its right eye!

Roar~

Caught off guard, the Flood Dragon took a direct hit, its fist-sized eyeball exploding on the spot, turning into a bloodied mess!

Although the eye was one of its weak points, its defenses were not weak.

The reason why Wang Chen’s strike could cause such damage was firstly because the Flood Dragon’s power had been mostly suppressed; otherwise, it might have been questionable whether it would have even broken through the defense.

Secondly, he had just self-destructed his External Core, concentrating all his power into the Sword Pill, invoking a power beyond its own tier, which allowed him to severely injure the formidable foe.

Of course, Wang Chen’s External Core was gone, and so was his ultimate move, the Sword Pill, the price he paid was very high.

But the Flood Dragon’s divine power was broken.

Huangfu Yongchun and the others simultaneously spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, but their complexions quickly regained their color.
