On this journey, Long Yi had been quite at ease, with Ai Lin practically hogging most of the fights. Unless the enemies were too nurous or had particularly tricky skills, Ai Lin typically would not bother asking for Long Yi’s aid.
However, today marked the end of those leisurely days for Long Yi.
According to the map, they were about three days away from Silver Dragon Lake, and the number of magical beasts in the nearby area was diminishing gradually. Signs of battles were quite noticeable around, indicating that Silver Dragon Lake was a popular destination. Long Yi wasn’t much bothered about it, after all, Silver Dragon Lake was just the first stop. He planned to delve deeper into the mountains to find more magical beasts. Hence, he had no problem letting others snatch away these minor profits.
Then, the path before Long Yi was blocked by a woman.
The woman, her hair unkempt, was filthy all over. Her ragged clothing, and the bits of armor barely covering her sensitive parts. She was slightly hunched over, lying low on the ground like a beast, her mouth opened wide, letting out bizarre huffing sounds. But, that wasn’t the highlight.
The highlight was the nurous Crystal Cores, large and small, all embedded into her skin, at least a dozen in total.
The largest was about the size of Long Yi’s fist, three of them lodged into the woman’s legs. The smallest was walnut-sized, spread all over her body.
These Crystal Cores conveyed only one concept to Long Yi.
Strength!
The creature Long Yi and his team first encountered possessed two Crystal Cores-- of either the eighth or ninth rank, which were enough to give him a headache. Had Long Yi not delivered a fatal blow from the inside, the outco might have been uncertain, considering the stupid Composite Beast.
But before him now, if it was also a Composite Beast who’d condensed herself like this, it was quite likely beyond the control of a fool.
"Ai Lin, I don’t recall Wesley ever saying that humans could transform into magical beasts," Long Yi quietly asked Ai Lin by his side.
"I don’t rember either." Ai Lin, who prided herself on her superb mory, was also completely in the dark about this.
Long Yi couldn’t help but find it strange. Could this woman in front of him be a magical beast assuming a human form? At least assu the form of a cute young girl! Who would buy into this deceit with your filthy appearance?
"Miss, are you alright?"
Long Yi cautiously threw a question her way.
"Mis-s-s..."
A gleam flashed across the woman’s eyes - this wasn’t a taphor! Her eyes literally flashed a beam of light that scanned across Long Yi’s face!
"Dragon Knight...man..." The woman spoke again, her raspy voice sounded like two pieces of tal grating against each other.
"Man...man...battle? Fight! I can hardly hold it in! Fight! Fight! I need to unleash myself!"
Long Yi’s expression beca even stranger. Odd vocal tones and rhythmic howls; was this woman singing death tal?
The very next mont, the woman suddenly charged over!
"I’m coming!" Ai Lin shouted and was about to rush up when she got ramd aside by Long Yi. She heard a crash, and when she turned around, she saw Long Yi and the woman collide with each other, hands locked and surprisingly, the woman hadn’t been pushed back an inch!
She knew the extent of Long Yi’s brute strength. When she was little, she had always envied her second brother Ais for his innate divine strength, but when she t Long Yi, she ca to realise that a person’s power could be so outrageously strong.
And now, this strange woman, more like a magical beast, had collided with Long Yi and didn’t show any signs of backing off!
This was certainly not human strength!
Such formidable brute strength!
For the first ti, Long Yi, who had always been confident in his brute strength, realised that he might not win in a fair arm-wrestling contest.
Long Yi and the woman continued pushing against each other, digging a trench with their feet, but neither of them moved an inch!
Seeing the stalemate, the woman suddenly shrieked and a Crystal Core on her body started to glow. Long Yi imdiately felt a power similar to Fighting Aura joining in.
Without showing any signs of weakness, Long Yi suppressed it with a stronger Fighting Aura.
The woman’s screams grew louder as the Crystal Cores on her body started to glow one by one, from the smallest to the largest. The pressure imposed on Long Yi began to increase but Long Yi fought back by continuously elevating his Fighting Aura.
Finally, Long Yi’s Fighting Aura had surged to the nineteenth level, yet the energy of his opponent continued to rise!
Now was definitely not the ti to back down!
Long Yi saw the fervent intent to battle in the murky gaze of his opponent. This person was certainly no ordinary monster! Even though it was unclear how she beca a monster, her combat skills had not diminished in the slightest!
Fight!
Who would I be afraid of!
"Bajie, resist it!" yelled Long Yi. Bajie roared, already prepared.
Without hesitation, Long Yi directly elevated his Fighting Aura to the twentieth level. His strength made an imdiate quantum leap, giving Long Yi the upper hand.
Roar!
The woman actually let out a beast-like roar, retreating abruptly. Just as Long Yi seized the opportunity to counterattack, he saw the largest crystal core on her body starting to glow. She clasped her hands together and a crystal greatsword suddenly appeared, slashing down from the sky!
Bajie suppressed his evolutionary urge and threw out the massive Dragon-slaying Sword in the middle of the space. Little Zi, desperate to assist Long Yi, was shot by a beam of light erging from the woman’s crystal core, piercing right through the corner of her skirt. Lowering her head, Little Zi noticed a piece of her skirt was truly missing!
Direct attack against the spirit body!
"Little Zi, aid Bajie in suppressing his urge to evolve!" Long Yi yelled. How to suppress Bajie’s evolution was extrely vital to him.
Although Little Zi really wanted to help Long Yi, she realized that rushing over could make her a burden to Long Yi without necessarily being of any help. Currently, Long Yi’s major concern was Bajie’s forced evolution.
Without much of a word, the little maid knew what she had to do. She decisively turned around, positioned herself over Bajie’s head, placed both hands on top of it, and channeled a stream of cold Mana. Bajie’s evolution urges imdiately subsided.
anwhile, Long Yi caught the Dragon-slaying Sword, channeling all his might into an upward strike. Upon the resounding crash, Long Yi’s foot got hamred into the ground, right up to his calves!
"Good!"
Since he had already released his power, Long Yi had no intentions of hiding any longer! All forty levels of Fighting Aura exploded out, fully unleashing the might of the two Dragon Marks. Taking advantage of the montum, Long Yi spinningly rose, breaking free from the ground, and counterattacked.
At the sa ti, all the crystal cores on that strange woman’s body started to light up, her crystal greatsword radiating a splendid glow!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three consecutive slashes and both sides were on par!
For the first ti!
It was the first ti when Long Yi had used all his power, and the opponent still matched him in a stalemate!
Sword Qi Slash!
Dragon Wing Slash!
Dragon Tooth Strangulation!
Three attacks in succession resulted in torrents of Fighting Aura unleashed under the activation of his giant bloodline, relentlessly raining down on the woman. She managed to resist the first two attacks but failed to evade the Dragon Tooth Strangulation. In a flash, her body was engulfed in a whirlwind of Fighting Aura, much like a swirling blade, colliding harshly with her crystal greatsword.
The Dragon Tooth Strangulation, with the combined might of the two Dragon Marks, demonstrated a great deal of power, a vortex of Fighting Aura brought about a force even Long Yi could hardly fathom.
However, when the Dragon Tooth Strangulation dissipated, Long Yi saw not a crushed body, but an individual still standing strong, leaning on her crystal greatsword, a bloody ss.
The woman’s entire body had been torn apart by the Dragon Tooth Strangulation, so parts even revealing bones. Yet, she still hadn’t fallen!
Not only that, but she was also regenerating at a terrifying speed!
How could I possibly give you ti to recuperate?
