Chapter 1218: 1218
“Roar!!”
The loud roar of a dragon tore through the battlefield with a volume far greater than any other source of sound in the area . It was coming from the battle between Li Chengfeng and Lin Dongxiao .
The long tail of a dragon streaked through the sky following that roar along with multiple blades of energy made from a Law . Like knives, they shot through the sky to tear apart the dragon tail .
Li Chengfeng looked like a tiny speck in front of the giant dragon tail . Though protected by a green glow of light, Li Chengfeng looked like he was vulnerable to being crushed into nothing if he were to be hit by the tail .
Before the tail could crush him, Li Chengfeng seemed to suddenly fly several dozen meters higher into the sky to just barely get himself out of dodge and into safety .
“He’s basically just a mindless freak . That sort of opponent is easier to fight against…”
Li Chengfeng looked extremely calm for just ‘barely’ dodging the dragon tail . If anything, he looked extremely calm right now as he thought about something before smiling at the situation .
He spoke very casually as if he wasn’t concerned for his life . It was as though this ‘freak’ wasn’t worth his attentiont at all!
“Roar!!”
The rotting dragon let out another loud cry as it swiped at Li Chengfeng with its mighty claws .
“Whoosh!”
The claws tore through the area where Li Chengfeng stood, but Li Chengfeng was no longer there to be seen . He had dodged the attacks once again with a burst of energy and hardly any trouble .
“Die!!”
From up top on the dragon’s head, Lin Dongxiao was a frothing mess . He too, was screaming loudly along with the dragon . Greenish-gray energy flowed from his torso to the dragon underneath him, as if to feed the dragon more energy .
“Roar!!”
Renewed, the dragon began to tremble from head to tail . It dropped its mouth wide open and let out a loud roar as specks of greenish-gray light started to gather in it!
Simultaneously, the tail and claws of the dragon started to move even faster as if trying to catch Li Chengfeng .
“Bzz…”
Li Chengfeng didn’t look like he had the intent of dodging this time . An orange shield materialized in front of him immediately, flooding the air around him with an equally-orange light . Soon, a giant barrier encompassing a dozen meters was erected all around him .
“Boom!!!”
The first to strike the shield was the burst of energy fired from the dragon’s mouth . Like paper, the shield around Li Chengfeng crumpled and relented for the energy burst to flood and bury Li Chengfeng underneath…
Pleased, Lin Dongxiao smiled at his handiwork . But just as he was about to congratulate himself, he saw a figure standing far beyond the area of his own attack—Li Chengfeng! He hadn’t been trapped by his attack earlier!
“My my, seems like defending isn’t in the cards for me . That’d be quite nasty for me if I wasn’t fast enough to dodge…”
Li Chengfeng sighed wistfully as he stared at the broken remains of the shield where he once stood . Waving his hand, he recalled the fragments and stored them away .
“Aaahhh!!! Damn you!! Diee!!”
Infuriated by Li Chengfeng’s carefree nature, Lin Dongxiao had the dragon charge at Li Chengfeng at once .
Lin Dongxiao wasn’t even just angry anymore . He was humiliated . The nature by which Li Chengfeng was treating him made him feel like a child . A toy being made to dance on top of the palm of another . Every single attempt he made to kill Li Chengfeng had been rebuffed with ease! With each attack of his failing to hit his mark, Lin Dongxiao began to think to himself:
“I can’t hurt this person no matter what attack I use…”
This thought was intensified with how Li Chengfeng dodged his attacks . Every single time Lin Dongxiao was so sure his attack worked, Li Chengfeng would reveal himself to be somewhere else, completely unharmed and unbothered…
It was Lin Dongxiao who was on the attack, but it felt like he was on the ‘losing’ side . It…it almost felt like his opponent could see what moves he’d use and was acting accordingly on it!
This was a concept Lin Dongxiao felt hard to stomach . He didn’t even have this bad of a time when he was fighting against Ouyang Hua .
There were other factors Lin Dongxiao had to take into account . He wasn’t as strong as he was anymore . The dragon he combined himself with wasn’t exactly in a pristine state of health . Wounds littered the entirety of the dragon’s body, such as having a portion of its tail being cut off, one of its claws being practically torn in half, or there being multiple dents in its body . All those factors combined meant the dragon wouldn’t be able to move and attack as efficiently as before, thus meaning its attack power was inevitably far weaker than before .
But those were factors negligible in the grand scheme of things . Against an Early-stage Soul Emperor like Li Chengfeng, Lin Dongxiao had been extremely confident in his odds . These factors shouldn’t even have been a point of contention .
……
Like an extended game of cat-and-mouse, Li Chengfeng and Lin Dongxiao’s battle continued . Each of Lin Dongxiao’s attacks were dodged by ‘just’ a hair-breadth with only the occassional change in expression by Li Chengfeng . His expression would harden every once in a while, as if he was focusing on the battle, but other than that, Li Chengfeng was never harmed during the process .
“Whoosh!!”
The first change happened once Li Chengfeng dodged yet another tail strike . Li Chengfeng’s eyes narrowed together as he began to focus his energy . That energy took on a violet shade of light around his body as if preparing for an attack of some kind . Halfway through it, Li Chengfeng suddenly cut off the energy flow and retreated to avoid another claw swipe .
“Tch! Still not right!!”
