In the center of the forest, there was a clearing violently carved out.
Chu Feng climbed up an ancient tree, observing the scene from afar.
There, a massive Earth Dragon, several meters long, lay sprawled on the ground, roaring towards the sky. Its entire body was covered in extremely tough scales, densely packed and reflecting an earthy yellow glow. True Qi enveloped these scales, making them even more indestructible.
This was the Beast King of the Flying Cloud Mountains, an Earth Dragon of the Land at the Grade Two Qi Transformation, Third Layer!
At this moment, it was ferociously wild.
Its body was covered with numerous wounds, blood flowing out and staining the ground red!
"A Beast King at the Qi Transformation, Third Layer, and an Earth Dragon with dragon blood!" Chu Feng was moved.
Opposite the Earth Dragon stood a young woman in white, as pure as snow. She appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, wielding a treasured sword with a nimble figure. However, her face was pale, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Clearly, the clash with the Earth Dragon had left her severely injured as well.
"Only fifteen or sixteen, yet already at the Qi Transformation Realm. Could she be a prodigy from the royal city?" Chu Feng speculated to himself.
The woman in white moved with agility.
But her sword strikes were sharp and unmatched.
Each strike left a sword mark on the Earth Dragon, with blood flowing.
Yet it was futile.
The Earth Dragon's vitality was extraordinarily strong, and its defense was astonishing. Each time it shook the ground, it unleashed terrifying power, causing the earth to tremble.
Although the woman's swordsmanship was profound, it was not enough to defeat it.
Moreover, in the forest, the Earth Dragon's speed was terrifyingly fast.
She had no chance of escaping!
At this rate, her fall was only a matter of time!
"Friend in the distance, since you're here, why not lend a hand?" The woman in white, with clear eyes, looked in Chu Feng's direction and spoke in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng restrained his aura even more, pressing himself against the ancient tree.
He remained silent!
Seeing this, the woman in white bit her lip.
"Friend, this Earth Dragon is a Beast King at the Qi Transformation, Third Layer. If we join forces to slay it, we can split the spoils. It's already heavily injured; we can definitely finish it off!"
However, the ancient tree remained silent, and Chu Feng still did not respond.
Roar!
At this moment, the Earth Dragon suddenly charged forward.
Crack! Its massive jaws opened wide, and under the cover of True Qi, its rows of teeth, sharp as swords, shattered the woman's sword.
Then, with a swift movement, its enormous claw came crashing down.
The woman in white spat out a mouthful of blood, her fingers wrapped in a celestial glow, unleashing a continuous and ethereal palm technique. Bang! The palm imprint collided with the beast's claw, sending her flying backward, blood gushing from her mouth.
Her aura was in disarray.
"Friend, I am an Inner Court Disciple of Destiny Academy. If you help, not only will we split the Beast King, but I will also offer a generous reward!"
On the ancient tree, Chu Feng remained silent.
The woman in white, Luo Feiyan, felt her heart sink into despair.
She had received a mission to gather spiritual fruits in the Flying Cloud Mountains, but who would have thought she'd encounter this Beast King? She believed her Qi Transformation Realm cultivation was enough to slay it alone.
But who would have thought this Beast King, with dragon blood, was so formidable?
Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].
Though she had heavily injured it, she was also too exhausted to continue fighting! She didn't even have a chance to escape!
Roar!
The Beast King roared.
Its eyes blood-red, it charged forward, intent on killing this human who dared to challenge it.
Boom!
The massive beast claw shook the air, tearing through the sky.
True Qi surged, enveloping the beast claw like a divine weapon!
Boom!
As the waves of energy crossed, Luo Feiyan gritted her teeth, and a sudden burst of spiritual light erupted from her slender arm.
It was a sword aura.
Swoosh!
The sword light flashed, bursting forth and directly piercing the Earth Dragon.
This was her last resort, a powerful sword aura gifted by her academy mentor, usable only once!
Rip!
The sword aura pierced through, directly penetrating the Earth Dragon's claw, but the dragon only staggered before regaining its footing. Although one of its claws was completely shattered, its life force remained strong, and it grew even more enraged!
"Roar!" The Earth Dragon roared in fury.
Seeing this, the woman in white was utterly despaired.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The Earth Dragon shook the ground, its massive jaws wide open, ready to bite down.
With one claw broken, its body wobbled slightly, but as a Qi Transformation, Third Layer beast, it was terrifyingly powerful.
The woman in white closed her eyes in despair.
However.
At that moment.
A glint flashed in Chu Feng's eyes, "Now's the time!" He felt a bit surprised, not expecting the woman in white to have such a trick! At the crucial moment, she had heavily injured the Earth Dragon.
Boom!
He leaped down from the ancient tree.
Then, with a few steps, he appeared beside the Earth Dragon.
Eight-Step Collapsing Palm!
Bang, bang, bang!
With each step, his figure surged forward, palm imprints overlapping, and the power of eight layers exploded in an instant!
Boom!
The Earth Dragon let out a cry, already injured, and now suddenly attacked, it couldn't react in time. With a bang, it lost its balance and was sent flying, dust rising in the air.
"Roar!" The Earth Dragon roared, attempting to struggle to its feet.
Chu Feng stepped forward, not giving it any chance to breathe, the sound of a dragon-elephant roaring erupted, and the Dragon-Elephant Fist poured out.
Bang, bang, bang!
Fist imprints rained down!
Each punch struck its weak points.
***
Moments later, the Earth Dragon let out a wail, blood trickling from its mouth, and its aura slowly dissipated! It had already been heavily injured, and the mysterious sword aura had almost killed it. Chu Feng merely seized the opportunity to finish it off!
The battle subsided.
Luo Feiyan struggled to her feet, barely glancing at Chu Feng.
"Thank you, young master, for your assistance..."
"I hope the young master can help me recover. If I return to the academy, Feiyan will surely repay you generously..."
Her figure wobbled.
She tried to stand but collapsed to the ground, her injuries too severe to support her any longer.
However.
Before she lost consciousness, she suddenly realized that Chu Feng had not looked at her once. His figure flashed, heading straight for the Earth Dragon!
"Big profit!" Chu Feng was excited.
This was an Earth Dragon at the Qi Transformation, Third Layer!
Its entire body was a treasure!
He rushed to the dragon's corpse, starting to carve it up. Every part, from skin to bones, was top-notch, worth a fortune! Not a single piece could be wasted!
"The Earth Dragon's skin can be used to forge armor, its flesh is a treasure for body refinement, and the blood energy it contains is astonishing!"
***
After half an hour, Chu Feng finished harvesting and reluctantly glanced at Luo Feiyan.
"Not dead?"
He was somewhat disappointed.
"Destiny Academy, Inner Court Disciple, Luo Feiyan!" Chu Feng noticed the jade token at Luo Feiyan's waist, his eyes lighting up.
