Proud Sword Soaring Clouds

Chapter 377: Chapter 279: Ice Blue Water Light Array

"In your dreams! Weak little humans... Ohohoho..." The Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon let out a booming, derisive laugh. "With your strength, you wouldn’t be a match for a Tier Eight Magical Beast even in another thousand years!"

The corner of Ling Xiao’s mouth lifted into a smirk. He gave the Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon a meaningful look and chuckled. "You giant reptile, I hope you remember this: human intelligence is not something you can compete with. Never think you’re smarter than us! When humans face a powerful enemy, we have countless methods besides brute force to ensure their demise. You’ve devoured many Martial Artists, but... you’re right about one thing. It was their own greed. If they hadn’t provoked you first, they wouldn’t have met such a violent end. However, it seems you’ve underestimated all of humanity as a result. And your biggest mistake... was underestimating me."

"WAHAHAHA!" The Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh, though its scarlet eyes and face held not a trace of mirth. It spoke to Ling Xiao with chilling coldness, "You brought this upon yourself!" By now, it fully understood. ’Potion refining? These two humans were just recklessly toying with me!’

The Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon was absolutely livid. It had never been trifled with like this by anyone!

’My neighbor on the nearby island... even the most powerful member of its clan trembles and quakes in my presence! And yet this human, who isn’t even strong, dares to mock my intelligence to my face!’ The Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon’s fury burned away all reason. ’I won’t spare them any longer. I’ll just eat them and be done with it! After all, this is how my kind has survived for generations!’

The Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon was filled with regret. ’I should have eaten them long ago! Have I grown soft recently? Or... have I become more human?’

The Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon opened its cavernous maw, and a tremendous suction force began to pull Ling Xiao and Song Mingyue toward it.

Ling Xiao let out a hearty laugh. The moment he drew the Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword from his ring, it erupted with a powerful, demonic aura! The stronger the opponent, the more excited the Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword became!

Although Ling Xiao had modified it so that it no longer absorbed an opponent’s Essence Blood, the Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword’s powerful, belligerent nature hadn’t changed in the slightest.

The Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon froze for a moment upon seeing the Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword, but its eyes quickly filled with ecstasy. It laughed loudly and said, "Haha! I was just thinking I lacked a suitable weapon, and you knew to deliver one right to me. How thoughtful! I’ll be taking that along with everything else!"

As it spoke, an immense Spiritual Power crashed down upon them both.

Just then, however, Ling Xiao grabbed Song Mingyue’s hand and leaped, instantly soaring a hundred meters off the ground!

But forcibly breaking through the Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon’s Spiritual Power came at a great cost. Song Mingyue spat out a mouthful of blood, and the injuries she had just managed to stabilize worsened. Yet, there was no longer any trace of anxiety in her eyes. People like her, born into a great family, still felt fear in the face of insurmountable danger, but they knew exactly when to cast it aside.

After all, no amount of fear could change the outcome, nor would it be of any help.

In truth, when facing a terrifying existence like the Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon, it wasn’t just Song Mingyue; even the Song Family’s own ancestor, Song Xi, would likely be left trembling in fear were he present!

And yet, an anomaly like Ling Xiao had appeared—one who ignored the Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon’s powerful aura and pressure, forcibly breaking free from its Spiritual Power. Below them, the beast’s roar echoed. "Trying to run? Haha, come on back!" With that, it opened its cavernous maw and took a sharp, deep breath, sucking at the airborne Ling Xiao and Song Mingyue!

A vortex formed in the air, originating from the Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon’s mouth. The beast now utterly loathed this human brat who had dared to challenge its authority time and again. ’I won’t listen to another word of his nonsense! I have to eat him!’

Ling Xiao and Song Mingyue were completely unable to resist the Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon’s immense power, and their bodies suddenly began to plummet downward again.

But at that very moment, Ling Xiao let out a sudden, mighty roar!

The power of the sixth level of the Great Freedom Heart Scripture instantly cleared Ling Xiao’s Spirit Platform. Simultaneously, his heart began to beat furiously as the energy from the milky-white Magic Beast Crystal Core in his hand surged from his palm, coursed through the meridians in his body, and converged upon his heart!

In the blink of an eye, the True Essence in Ling Xiao’s body completed a full Grand Circulation. In that same instant, the Tier Eight Magic Beast Crystal Core in his hand visibly dimmed! The speed at which he was absorbing the Magic Beast Crystal Core was terrifying to behold!

At the same time, an explosive power erupted from Ling Xiao’s body!

Using his body as a conduit, the energy from the Crystal Core in Ling Xiao’s hand erupted with an incomparably powerful aura!

It slowed their rapid descent for a moment. At the same time, all across the cavern floor, points of light ignited one after another, transforming into beams that shot straight up!

Instantly, brilliant light flooded the Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon’s entire lair, illuminating the pitch-black space as if it were day.

A ripple of power, one that struck fear into the heart of the Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon, suddenly pulsed through the cavern. At that moment, even though it didn’t understand the first thing about Arrays, the ancient monster that had lived for millennia knew something was terribly wrong.

It let out a sudden, sonorous draconic cry, its body coiling and its four claws flailing wildly. Just as it was about to launch itself into the air, the beams of light from below suddenly converged on Ling Xiao. Then, as if coalescing into a great net woven from light, the Ten Thousand Year Flood Dragon’s massive body slammed violently against it!
