C229 (1/2)

Roar ~!

Cang Yun finally met his first Wild Beast, the ninth grade, deep within the sea of fire that had returned to the Ruins.

This was an Earth Dragon. Legend had it that there was a trace of a True Dragon's bloodline within it. Thus, it was an extremely strong existence among the savage Spiritual Beasts.

Moreover, from what Cang Yun knew, the most common wild spirit beast within the depths of this sea of fire was the land dragon. This was one of the reasons why people speculated that a fire dragon was buried here.

Swish!

Facing this land dragon, Cang Yun unsheathed his Blue Peak Sword.

A Rank 9 Desolate Spirit Beast was extremely powerful, especially a Rank 9 Desolate Spirit Beast that had already started condensing into a Nihility God. Its strength was completely different from an ordinary Desolate Spirit Beast.

This was also the reason why there were so few martial artists who could start forming their Nihility God Stage before the Void God Mirror. Ordinary martial artists simply didn't have the strength to kill a ninth level savage spirit beast.

Most of the geniuses in the Azure Province had gathered in the Holy City, but only a hundred of them had truly formed a Nihility God. From this, one could see how difficult it was, there were even some peerless geniuses that wanted to complete this step, but they ended up dying under the claws of the Spirit Beasts.

Rumble …

The moment it saw Cang Yun, the Earth Dragon did not hesitate at all. With its beast nature exploding forth, it directly charged forward with earth-shaking steps.

Although the Earth Dragon was not a real dragon, its body was still exceptionally powerful. Its entire body was covered with fiery red scales. The size of a palm-leaf fan was an indestructible sensation.

Seeing this, Cang Yun did not dare to receive it head on. The Origin Power around his body surged as his figure dodged to the side.

One man and one dragon moved to the side. Both sides instantly stopped moving.

Swish!

However, as soon as Cang Yun stopped, a strong sense of danger instantly approached.

Cang Yun did not even think as he reflexively moved backwards, and a huge tail quickly swept past his face.

That fierce wind even caused Cang Yun's face to feel pain.

”What a powerful combat ability, such a fast speed.” Cang Yun couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

This Rank 9 Savage Spirit Beast was indeed well-deserved of its reputation. Its strength was definitely enough to instantly kill many warriors of the ninth layer of the Secret Treasure, just like the Thousand Feet Fire Silkworm that Cang Yun had encountered earlier. The only difference between the two was that the Earth Dragon and the Thousand Feet Fire Silkworm had different fighting styles. The former was better at close combat while the latter was better at sneak attacks.

Tap!

The next moment, Cang Yun dashed forward and thrusted out his Cyan Peak Sword.

He completely displayed the Concept of the Sword.

The speed of the sword was extremely quick. Like the sound of thunder and lightning, the sword stabbed into the Earth Dragon's enormous body before it could even react.

Ding ~!

However, as the sword descended, there was only a sound of metal colliding. Cang Yun's sword seemed to have stabbed into a steel plate, the sword's body had only entered five to six centimeters before it was unable to approach any further. To the enormous body of the Earth Dragon, a wound like this was simply harmless.

The expression on Cang Yun's face changed. The Earth Dragon's defense was simply beyond his imagination. After all, the Blue Peak Sword in his hand was extraordinary, yet it was unable to even break through the Earth Dragon's defense.

In the next moment, Cang Yun immediately retreated.

Roar ~!

The Earth Dragon let out an angry roar. Even though the azure cloud only left a small wound, it was still an unbearable provocation, causing its ferocity to increase once again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
