Chapter XII Strange Beasts of Darkness

”AHH!” ”Roar!”

The Sky Bull Flood Dragon roared, it wriggled its gigantic body, the calm Cold Ice Spirit Spring instantly split open a deep crack in the water, as though it was trying to exterminate the world, its pair of sharp horns pointed straight at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian used his spirit force to wrap around his legs, allowing him to stand on the surface of the Cold Ice Spirit Spring. This time, his opponent was a mature Sky Bull Flood Dragon, and was on a completely different level from the one he had exchanged blows with before.

Ha!

Ye Tian tried his best to absorb the spirit energy in his body. His nine elemental veins were tight at this moment, and an endless amount of spirit energy gathered in Ye Tian's right palm.

”It's not enough. We can't stop it even like this!”

”He's here!” The Sky Bull Flood Dragon accumulated all the spirit energy in its body, its horns faintly suffused with the spirit energy of the lightning, and launched an attack as if it was destroying the world.

However, the Sky Bull Flood Dragon's momentum was extremely fast, its over ten metres tall body was like a small mountain as it charged towards Ye Tian. A horn appeared, wanting to pierce through Ye Tian's chest.

”Humph!” Ye Tian refused to be outdone, and slammed the Killing God Palm that he had pushed to the limit onto the Sky Bull Flood Dragon's horns.

The space at the point of contact warped slightly, spirit energy slags scattered in all directions, and even the Heavenly Chasm Illusion Realm began to tremble violently. Bai Ruoyu retreated back to the borders of the Cold Ice Spirit Spring and looked at the battle in shock. She realized that there was no room for her to interfere in this kind of battle.

The Sky Bull Flood Dragon's eyes revealed a savage look. It was surprised that Ye Tian had not been pushed out, and had even blocked its attack.

”Roar!” ”Roar!” The Sky Bull Flood Dragon roared, and every time it let out a roar, the power on its horns increased by a lot.

Ye Tian's face was covered in beads of sweat. The Killing God Palm could be powerful, but it could not be maintained for long. Being able to fight evenly with the Sky Bull Flood Dragon was already very taxing. But after a few roars from the Sky Bull Flood Dragon, Ye Tian realized that the Sky Bull Flood Dragon's aura was increasing, and was beginning to suppress him.

Damn it! This monster was only a second stage spirit beast, how could it become so strong? What to do now!

The Sky Bull Flood Dragon's aura did not decrease at all, and not long after, Ye Tian felt his chest being heavily struck, to the point that he had to spit out a mouthful of blood. The sharp horn had already pierced into one of his chest, and if this continued, he would soon be pierced through by the Sky Bull Flood Dragon's horn.

Ye Tian's thread of consciousness landed on the tenth vein in his body, the murderous spirit filled with killing intent. The moment it was activated, the peaceful murderous spirit channels began to tremble crazily, as if a sleeping flood dragon had been awakened.

Violent and terrifying spirit energy and killing intent gushed out from the Killing Yuan Vein and onto Ye Tian's right hand, the faint golden palm print gradually turned blood-red, and at the same time, even more wounds appeared on Ye Tian's palm. The killing intent was too strong, causing Ye Tian to bite out a bit of blood from the corner of his mouth.

”AHH!” Ye Tian's eyes were blazing with fire, and ruthless killing intent shone from within. He let out a long roar, and burst out with an awe-inspiring aura.

In the blink of an eye, he had surpassed the Sky Bull Flood Dragon. Moreover, the surging killing intent lingered around him as Ye Tian's right hand once again unleashed its power.

”Crack.” A clear sound came from the Sky Bull Flood Dragon's horn. In the end, it was followed by the Sky Bull Flood Dragon's dumbstruck gaze, as the left horn suddenly broke into two pieces.

”Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!” The Sky Bull Flood Dragon cried out crazily. Its horn was its weapon but it was also its weak point. Now that it had broken one of its horns, it immediately suffered a heavy injury. With a flick of the dragon's tail, the Sky Bull Flood Dragon's aura dropped to the bottom.

Ye Tian leaped up and jumped to the head of the Sky Bull Flood Dragon, pretending to wave his palm. When the Sky Bull Flood Dragon saw that the other horn was also broken, it was afraid that it would lose its life. Without giving a damn about the Ice Queen, the Sky Bull Flood Dragon turned around and fled in panic. With a ”dong”, it drilled into the depths of the Cold Ice Spirit Spring.

High up in the sky, Ye Tian landed back on the spring and gasped for breath. Just now, he was already at the end of his wits, and using the killing aura would consume a lot of energy. Furthermore, his body wouldn't be able to support it anymore, so if the Sky Bull Flood Dragon didn't run away, the result would be hard to say.

”Ye Tian, are you alright?” Bai Ruoyu came over to Ye Tian's side and said gently.

Although Ye Tian was only at the level of Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, Bai Ruoyu finally understood that Ye Tian was Ye Tian. He could compete with Lei Ba, and she, Bai Ruoyu, would always be by his side.

”It's nothing, take a look if you don't believe me.” Ye Tian smiled faintly and even swayed his body a little, proving that he was alright and telling Bai Ruoyu not to worry.

”Is that so?” Bai Ruoyu pouted, grabbed Ye Tian's right hand, and gently touched it.

”Ouch!” Ye Tian felt an intense pain from his right hand. He smiled awkwardly, he knew that Bai Ruoyu understood her situation.

”Didn't you say it's alright, you fool?” Bai Ruoyu gently caressed the wound on Ye Tian's right hand.

Hearing that, the Beautiful Face immediately blushed, even his neck felt like it was on fire. She quickly withdrew his hand and turned away. For some reason, she could feel that Ye Tian had changed a lot, became stronger, and gained an even more domineering air and decisiveness. He started to treat her differently as well. But that was enough.

”Here, Big Sister Yu.” While Bai Ruoyu was in a daze, Ye Tian went to the spring and plucked the Ice Queen, passing it over to Bai Ruoyu.
