Chapter Two – Steal From Me

While Aofeng was fighting a sacred beast on her own for the first time, Aofeng had improved greatly was full of confidence in herself. Inky green, almost black, magic spread out of her body and wrapped around the thin blade. When the blade sliced through the air, due to its speed, it gave off ear piercing pops and cracks.

“Zoom!”

The strong wind reached the Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon and cut viciously before the sword even reached its destination! With a “pzzt” sound, a long and narrow wound appeared on the Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon’s back.

At the same time, Aofeng forcefully pushed off the ground and jumped several meters into the air. She slightly dodged the sharp claws of the earth dragon. The dust thrown up by the claws of the enormous earth dragon settled as she appeared elegantly on the top of a small hill. She looked down imperiously, without a hair out of place.

Blood swelled out of the wound. The Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon howled in pain. He hadn’t thought this weak-looking human was so powerful. Even the defense he was so proud of was defeated! The savagery inside the earth dragon magnified. His nimble tail snapped and swept towards Aofeng!

“Tsk, this guy’s defense is really terrifying.” Aofeng seemed to not see the dragon tail sweeping towards her. Her brow furrowed slightly as she looked over the Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon.

She had used seven-tenths of her strength in that sword strike. She could split a nine-star spirit beast with that blow but barely made a cut on the earth dragon. Even if she used all of her power, she might not be able to give the earth dragon a fatal blow. The dragon race really were powerful. Just a trace of the blood lineage was already so terrifying.

The Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon was overjoyed when he saw the human didn’t try to dodge his tail swipe. His tail was the strongest part of his body and was covered in spikes like a mace. Even a sacred beast would suffer receiving such a blow.

But just as he saw the dragon tail about to touch that person and his plan about to succeed, he found that human’s lips curve in a teasing smile and the figure suddenly disappear!

Nine Palace Eight Trigram Steps, Flash Step!

Inky green magic gathered under her feet, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigram Steps reached another level of speed. Straight Step, Horizontal Step, Slant Step, Short Step, Spin Step, they formed a set of flash steps. Aofeng appeared behind the head of the Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon like a ghost.

The Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon was puzzled by Aofeng’s sudden disappearance. Seeing her appear beside him, his shock was great!

“No matter how strong your defenses are, I don’t believe that you can s.h.i.+eld your eyes!” the voice said coldly. Aofeng suddenly spun her body, and used her momentum to push the power of the Cicada Wing to its peak. “Woos.h.!.+” She swung the sword horizontally! In a flash, blood sprayed out!

“Argh!” A great wail rang into the sky. The blow cut the Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon’s eyes. He became blinded. He only realized how terrifying this enemy was when the pain came.

Calm, powerful, seemingly unconcerned, but having already found his weakness a long time ago, a person who would not move easily, but would deliver a fatal blow when they did.

Facing such a powerful earth rank expert, the Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon felt a rare fear. He disregarded his animosity at having his eyes blinded. He feinted by swinging his tail and then turned and used his large hooves to jump into the air and fly away.

“No! Meng Yan, stop him!” Aofeng hadn’t expected the guy to flee the battle, and using flight as well. Without Liao Ya’s armorization, she could not fly and catch up to the enemy. She also couldn’t find a place to jump off. She could only land helplessly on the ground and commanded Meng Yan mentally.

Meng Yan received the order and immediately roared ferociously towards the sky. His divine beast domain spread and the lightning-like blood shadow appeared again.

An extremely fast ray of light struck the Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon who had fled to the edge of the horizon with a “boom!”. The Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon could not withstand an attack from a three-star Dark type divine beast and died midair. The blood rained down into the forest. A horse-shaped magus beast was even faster than a panther. People could not imagine Meng Yan’s speed at full gallop.

“Master, you are too ferocious, you even frightened away the savage Sawtooth Spined Earth Dragon. You are even more savage than the earth dragon!” Seeing this scene, Ben Lei shouted and cheered from a distance. Aofeng shook when she heard this. Why did this sound so awkward? Was this praising her or deriding her?

Liao Ya reminded with a chuckle, “Master, sacred beasts can fly. They have a great advantage facing earth rank experts. If they cannot win, they will fly and flee. Master, when you fight a sacred beast next time, jump onto its back. Just like the two human experts did back at the City of Neversetting Sun.”

Aofeng did not have enough experience at fighting sacred beasts, allowing him to escape at the last second. Aofeng noted this down. She got back on Meng Yan’s back to get to the earth dragon’s landing spot. The earth dragon had travelled far in the s.p.a.ce of several breaths. Aofeng had to admit the earth dragon flew fast, but he was unfortunate to encounter Meng Yan.
