The Vajra Ring and Demon-locking Ring were ineffective against the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon, and the Primordial Magnetic Treasure Bottle couldn’t break through its black mist defense, so they had no choice but to use the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.
The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword floated in front of Lu Yuanshan, threads of Sword Qi pulsed with a murderous aura.
After refining this Lifebound Flying Sword, Lu Yuanshan had never used it in actual combat; how effective it would be against the Flood Dragon could only be determined by trying.
Invoking Magical Power, he performed the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique. Lu Yuanshan gently raised his hand, urging the sword, which immediately began to hum and vibrate.
Then, in sync with Lu Yuanshan’s thoughts, the Lifebound Flying Sword transformed immediately into a swift arrow, slicing straight towards the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon in the water.
Spotting a bright blue light approaching, resembling a swift and forceful sword, the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon instinctively gathered the surrounding black mist, forming a Spiritual Shield-like defensive barrier firmly in front of itself.
It initially thought it could fend off this blow, but unexpectedly, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword was extremely sharp and overwhelmingly powerful, cutting a gash in the black mist shield with a single strike!
This left the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon caught off guard, incapable of evading in time.
The long sword remained fierce, slashing directly onto its body!
Taking a solid hit, the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon let out a prolonged and tragic cry, filled with pain and a harsh wail, which caused Lu Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan’s eardrums to ache, resonating in their minds.
Biting the tip of his tongue, Lu Yuanshan focused intently, wanting to assess the true power of his strike.
He saw that the black mist on the Flood Dragon’s body had been torn open to a sword-body-sized gap, caused by the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.
After the black mist broke, a bowl-sized wound, the length of an arm, appeared on its black-armored, scaly body.
Strands of the Flood Dragon’s blood welled up from the wound, starkly contrasted against the black scales.
This wound, although not fatal to the enormous Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon, was definitely painful.
If the blow had landed on a vital spot like the neck or head, it could have meant death.
"The black mist defense is broken!"
"It seems I must rely on the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword to deal with this wicked Flood Dragon."
Seeing that the sword had injured the Flood Dragon, Lu Yuanshan mused.
On the other side, witnessing the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword breaking through the black mist defense, Lu Zhiwei immediately recalled the Demon-locking Ring and changed her attack strategy, summoning the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.
The Lifebound Flying Sword flew out from her brow, hovering in front of her, and after injecting Magical Power, she also launched a direct slash!
This time, facing another incoming Flying Sword, a dazzling blue light, the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon’s pupils contracted, fear deepening in its eyes, no longer relying solely on black mist for defense.
It twisted its body, dodging and moving through the water to distance itself from the incoming Flying Sword, while opening its massive mouth to unleash Profound Dark Divine Light for defense.
The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword slashed through the Profound Dark Divine Light, emitting hissing sounds, a result of the corrosive force of the Divine Light eroding the sword’s body.
Being crafted from Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword was impervious to such corrosion, maintaining its sharpness.
Adjusting direction in mid-air, it continued its assault toward the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon.
The Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon couldn’t evade fast enough, lacking the speed of the Flying Sword, and in a blink, it was upon it.
The black mist shattered, and another gash was carved into its body, blood streaming, a shocking sight.
Lu Zhiwei’s strike further enraged the Flood Dragon.
It opened its mouth, issuing summoning calls to its Water Demons, to protect and attack. Official source is novèlfire.net
The water surface roiled, with various forms—mermaids, Water Ghosts, giant shrimps, Demon Crabs—Water Demons emerging, leaping enthusiastically, splashing water toward Lu Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan.
These Water Demons, only Qi Cultivation Level minor Demon Beasts, were in large numbers, over thirty of them.
"Nothing but a minor trick."
Lu Zhiwei was the first to act, urging the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword in a fierce slash.
The Lifebound Flying Sword unleashed its power, cutting two Water Demons in half, spraying a spurt of blood, and showed no signs of stopping, pushing on towards the Water Demons below.
At that moment, her performance was exceptional; after slaying two Water Demons, she continued to drive the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, swiftly slaying six more.
These Water Demons posed no threat to Lu Zhiwei, merely serving as cannon fodder.
On the other side, Lu Yuanshan was equally relentless, as the Water Demons charged at him, he showed no mercy, just as relentlessly urging the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, easily slaying several Water Demons with each strike.
Meanwhile, the Demon-locking Ring flew out again, expanding into a Round Ring, where flames coalesced, heat soaring, flames blazing.
Flames surged from within, engulfing a large number of Water Demons, incinerating them on the spot, causing them to emit heart-wrenching screams.
The two Lifebound Flying Swords shone brilliantly, slaying over a dozen Water Demons, clearing out most of the invading threat.
The remaining Water Demons, witnessing the swift carnage of their companions, unable to resist at all, were terrified, paling and retreating back into the water with thuds.
By this time, the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon was launching its attack, its gigantic body thrashing in the river, conjuring Water Element Spiritual Qi, causing colossal waves, surging violently, raising a tsunami.
Within this tsunami, under the command of the Flood Dragon Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact, a massive force capable of obliterating mountains and boulders was unleashed, crashing violently towards Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei.
The overwhelming waves loomed menacingly, obscuring the sky.
The Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon, wielding the power to turn seas and rivers, could provoke floods and chaos, enough to destroy a mortal city.
At this moment, Lu Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan were less than six zhang from the Flood Dragon, and facing such a massive wave, it was too late to dodge.
Luckily, there was a way.
Just as Lu Ping’s warning rang out, Lu Zhiwei took action.
"Primordial Golden Bell!"
Raising her elegant hand, an unknowingly appeared golden defensive Spiritual Artifact was in Lu Zhiwei’s hand.
It was the Primordial Golden Bell.
The Primordial Golden Bell floated upwards, hovering over Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei, its form quickly expanding and transforming, morphing into a translucent golden barrier a zhang in size.
Lu Zhiwei performed hand gestures, causing the Primordial Golden Bell to descend, emitting boundless golden light, enveloping her and Lu Yuanshan.
Feeling the force of the waves, it was clear they shouldn’t rely on their physical bodies to withstand it; they needed the defensive Spiritual Artifact for protection.
As Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei entered the protective range of the Primordial Golden Bell, the fierce waves outside suddenly crashed with a loud bang against the bell, exploding into a massive cloud of mist.
It seemed as if the entire world shook.
