The dark flood dragon had thought this was an unstoppable killing move!
But…
Feeling the restraints of the formation, it raised its head and let out a deafening roar that startled every creature within a hundred meters of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest, sending them fleeing in panic!
“Damn it!” the dark flood dragon roared, infuriated. It never expected to be trapped by such a seemingly minor trick.
Jiang Yubai’s lips curled into a cold smile, “With just that, you think you can kill me?”
In the distance, Mu Ruohan heard the roar, and her scalp tightened. She quickened her pace!
…
“Hmph!” Jiang Yubai snorted coldly. His hands formed seals, and the formation flared with brilliant light. One golden chain after another shot out, transforming into glowing ropes that tightly bound the dark flood dragon.
The flood dragon thrashed violently, but it couldn’t escape the array’s restraints.
Jiang Yubai flickered and appeared before it, a black dagger appearing in his hand.
Just as he was about to plunge the blade into its forehead, the dark flood dragon let out another thunderous roar!
Then—
With a deafening boom, a figure was blasted out of the battlefield and slammed heavily into the ground.
Caught off guard by the explosive backlash, Jiang Yubai was sent flying far into the distance.
He looked down at the blood pouring from his body, his expression filled with surprise. It wasn’t until dozens of meters later that he finally stabilized himself.
At that moment, dark clouds gathered above the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest, thunder rumbled, and a massive storm began to brew.
Jiang Yubai’s pupils contracted sharply. “This dark flood dragon… it’s advancing!? It’s about to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm?”
He looked up and saw two bulges swelling atop the flood dragon’s massive head.
Jiang Yubai was stunned. This was… the sign of transforming into a dragon!?
By now, the thunderclouds in the sky had already taken form.
Jiang Yubai made up his mind to risk it all!
He poured all of his spiritual Qi into the Frost Snow Sword… then slashed down fiercely at the flood dragon, who was fully focused on its breakthrough.
In an instant—
The dark flood dragon’s previously indestructible scales were torn open by Jiang Yubai’s sword. Blood sprayed everywhere!
Yet the dark flood dragon didn’t retreat or halt its advancement. Instead, it ignored the wounds and continued absorbing the dense spiritual Qi around it, preparing for the next wave of tribulation.
Suddenly, a brilliant bolt of lightning tore through the clouds and lit up the entire sky.
Like a wrathful dragon, the lightning shot straight toward the flood dragon.
The dark flood dragon did not flinch. It opened its bloody maw wide and swallowed the lightning whole.
With a thunderous boom, the bulges on its head began to glow brighter and brighter, as if some tremendous power was gestating within.
Jiang Yubai stared at the scene before him, his expression grim.
He wasn’t sure if the dark flood dragon would succeed in transforming into a dragon. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
But if it did—he might not leave alive!
With this thought, his gaze sharpened. He chose to go all in.
If that’s the case, then—
Treat life and death lightly… and fight if you’re not convinced!
He took a deep breath and roared, “Sword—come!”
His shout exploded like thunder, shaking the clouds above and echoing endlessly.
The sword in his hand shone brilliantly, as if it had become one with Jiang Yubai.
He infused every drop of spiritual Qi into the sword, and his entire body began to shimmer, turning nearly transparent.
The Frost Snow Sword burned like a torch—radiating blinding brilliance and piercing the surrounding darkness.
At this moment, Jiang Yubai was fully immersed in his own world. He forgot everything else. There was only the enemy before him.
His eyes were sharp, resolute, burning with a hunger for victory.
He had eyes only for the distant flood dragon.
He didn’t hesitate. He concentrated all of his spiritual Qi into the Frost Snow Sword.
This technique was called—
Human-Sword Unity!
A profound sword realm where the cultivator merged completely with the sword, pouring all of their spiritual Qi into it, unleashing its full power.
At this moment, Jiang Yubai and the Frost Snow Sword were one—facing the challenge together.
Their figure carved a radiant arc across the sky.
Like a blazing meteor, he shot toward the dark flood dragon undergoing tribulation!
In that instant, the usually gloomy and damp Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest suddenly lit up like daylight!
The light was so intense that even the thunderclouds above the flood dragon’s tribulation stalled for a moment.
Time seemed to freeze. The entire world trembled.
The Frost Snow Sword, carrying an unshakable force, descended like a storm toward the dark flood dragon!
A sharp tearing sound rang out!
The dark flood dragon let out a pained scream, its massive body trembling violently.
Jiang Yubai slashed with all his might, carving a massive gash into its forehead. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
The flood dragon’s eyes were filled with shock and agony… but more than that, disbelief.
Yet Jiang Yubai didn’t stop. He swung his sword again and again, deepening the wounds.
At the same time, the thunderclouds that had been forming in the sky began to dissipate as if they’d lost control.
Everything happened so fast, no one could react.
The flood dragon’s eyes brimmed with unwillingness and rage!
It couldn’t understand how it had lost… to a mere human.
It refused to die like this—refused to accept defeat.
It let out one last, earth-shaking roar, gathering its final strength to counterattack.
It bared its fangs again, lunging toward Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai dodged with a flicker of his body.
At the same time, his sword stabbed out again, threads of sword Qi weaving into a net that enveloped the dark flood dragon.
Under the relentless assault, it struggled violently but still couldn’t escape its fate.
Its body was torn apart by the sword Qi, blood spraying in every direction, dyeing the earth red.
No matter how hard it thrashed in agony…
It was useless.
“Roar!”
That was its final, furious bellow…
Its eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness.
Jiang Yubai struck once more, digging out the flood dragon’s eyes.
Its eyes were extremely valuable, perfect for refining pills or crafting magical tools.
Then, he skinned it and extracted its bones, processing the corpse cleanly.
The dark flood dragon was filled with treasures!
Its scales could be used to forge armor, its bones to refine weapons, and its core—its inner pellet—was a treasure coveted by every cultivator.
In the end, Jiang Yubai didn’t even leave the hide behind.
He took everything…
Collected into his bag!
“Not a bad haul.” Jiang Yubai nodded in satisfaction.
However—right then—
A sudden wave of dizziness struck him. His vision darkened, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
