60: Chapter 60 Brutal Battle

Massive amounts of divine source matter were stripped from the Destruction Dragon God and inhaled into the belly of the Torch Dragon phantom behind Yang Bai.

Chen Yuhao's flesh lost its color, his dragon scales became dull and brittle, and even his exposed dragon bones became transparent.

Gradually, Chen Yuhao lost the strength to scream. His body slowly shrank, finally returning to human form as he collapsed on the ground, with Yang Bai's broad-bladed longsword still impaled in his back.

[Prompt: Congratulations, you have successfully defeated the Divine Lord—Chen Yuhao]

[Prompt: Congratulations, you have obtained a Rank 1 High-Grade Building Card—Black Dragon Blood Pool]

"Sss-ha~"

Yang Bai exhaled a long breath of turbid air. A dark-gold light flashed in his eyes, and black demonic energy swirled around him, making him look completely sinister.

He stepped forward, grabbed one of Chen Yuhao's feet with one hand, and flew toward the location where the Divine Dependents were fighting.

——————

While the battle on Yang Bai's side had ended, the battle on the Foundation Establishment Cultivators' side had entered its final showdown.

White Jade Capital's combat force consisted of 85 Foundation Establishment Cultivators plus 15 late-stage Qi Refinement Cultivators.

On the side of the Destruction Dragonkin, there were 150 Foundation Establishment demonic beasts and 1,000 late-stage Qi Refinement demonic beasts.

There were also three fully-armed hero units whose strength far exceeded that of the Foundation Establishment demonic beasts.

Although the Cultivators were powerful, the numerical gap was still somewhat difficult to overcome.

None of the Qi Refinement Cultivators retreated; they all died in battle on the front lines. Over sixty Foundation Establishment Cultivators also perished during the engagement with the enemy.

Ying Sha led the assassin squad to infiltrate the rear, intending to assassinate the hero units. However, they were blocked by the high-grade equipment Chen Yuhao had prepared, leaving the assassin squad directly exposed before the elite personal guards of the Black Dragon Zealots.

The assassin squad instantly turned into a berserker squad. Having lost their means of assassination—stealth, invisibility, hidden weapons, and poisoning—they withstood the attacks of three ultra-powerful Black Dragon heroes and the personal guard legion.

They managed to wipe out the entire Black Dragon Personal Guard, the most elite force of the Black Dragon Legion.

In the assassin squad, Captain Ying Sha fought through heavy injuries, trading his life to stab a female Black Dragon hero to death. Vice-Captain Thief Saint Liu Quan used a decoy to steal the high-grade weapons of two Black Dragon heroes and escaped the battlefield.

After killing 15 Foundation Establishment demonic beasts and 20 ninth-level Qi Refinement beasts single-handedly, Chu Gehang was eventually overwhelmed and died of exhaustion.

After activating the Torch Dragon Bloodline, Zhou Yanlie lost his sanity. He killed 12 Foundation Establishment demonic beasts and 31 late-stage Qi Refinement beasts before dying as his blood burned dry.

Ruan Laoqi smashed the heads of five Foundation Establishment Black Dragons before being surrounded, beaten, and devoured.

Zhao Xin exhausted his spiritual power to create a massive-scale Earth Dragon Flip, burying a quarter of the Black Dragon Zealot legion underground, before dying to the Destruction Dragon Flame from the sky.

The Geng-Gold Sword Cultivator Chen Jianfeng stood before everyone, sword in his left hand. His eyes were cold and piercing as he looked indifferently at the Black Dragon dependents ahead.

The reason he didn't hold the sword in his right hand was that his entire right side had been struck by Destruction Dragon Breath and was now highly carbonized.

Aside from Chen Jianfeng, there were seventeen Foundation Establishment Cultivators still standing. They were all heavily injured, some with only a single breath left.

Facing them were 20 Foundation Establishment demonic beasts, 238 late-stage Qi Refinement Black Dragon dependents, a heavily injured Black Dragon Shield Guard hero, and a Black Dragon Mage hero who was almost completely unharmed.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, only eighteen of us are left. Tell us how to fight, we'll listen to you."

Thief Saint Liu Quan returned to the field. The high-grade equipment he had pilfered earlier had been hidden away where the Black Dragons wouldn't find it.

Scurrying back and forth had left even this peerless master of light-body techniques gasping for breath.

"Swallow the blood-bone equinox flower and rest well in meditation. I will go buy you time to recover," Chen Jianfeng said coldly.

"You alone? How can that be? I'll go with you." Liu Quan gritted his teeth and pulled out a bloodletting dagger, his expression serious.

"Liu Quan!" Chen Jianfeng barked. He looked at Liu Quan and the fellow Daoists behind him and said, "Trust me."

Trust between men often boils down to just a few words, or even a single look.

Seeing Chen Jianfeng in such a state, the others said nothing more. They each took the blood-bone equinox flower prepared at their waists, ate it, and immediately sat down to meditate, beginning to recover their injuries and spiritual power.

Chen Jianfeng removed his shattered white jade mask, revealing his handsome and elegant face. He then adjusted his hair crown, brushed the blood and dust from his clothes, and walked toward the Destruction Black Dragon dependents not far away.

Chen Jianfeng stroked the gengjin sword and apologized in his heart, "Sorry, I might have to break you again in a moment. No, I might have to let you be shattered into pieces."

The gengjin sword emitted a brilliant golden light, and its blade began to tremble as if it were extremely excited.

The corners of Chen Jianfeng's mouth curled up. He looked ahead, and the Black Dragon dependents began to move as well.

Chen Jianfeng performed a beautiful sword flourish and said sternly:

"Today, I shall let you witness the swordplay of the Human Race!"

As the words fell, Chen Jianfeng let the sword leave his hand. His right sleeve swept up the gengjin sword, tucking it against his right hip.

Chen Jianfeng lowered his body, and Gengjin Spiritual Power erupted beneath his feet. Like a sharp longsword, he pierced straight toward the enemy's front.

Dozens of Destruction Black Dragons flapped their wings, black dragon flames smoking in their mouths as they flew toward Chen Jianfeng.

Once at the right distance, the Destruction Black Dragons did not hesitate. Heaven-blotting dragon flames swept in, threatening to destroy everything.

Once at the right distance, Chen Jianfeng did not hesitate. His feet slid forward, and his left hand suddenly drew the gengjin sword from his side, using the momentum of the draw to unleash a massive Geng-Gold Sword Qi.

Slash!

The giant Geng-Gold Sword Qi sliced through the dragon flames, slaying dozens of Destruction Black Dragons in the sky with a single strike.

Crack!

The tip of the gengjin sword shattered, the longsword becoming a broken blade. Chen Jianfeng spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Again!" Chen Jianfeng did not stop. Enduring the pain of his Geng-Gold Sword Bone fracturing, he raised his broken sword and attacked forward.

[Golden Killing Sword Art—Seven Star Wolf Pack Kill] (Esoteric Art—Fastest Killing Move)

Chen Jianfeng turned into a golden afterimage and vanished. A second later, he appeared within the zealot legion. Sword shadows flashed, and dozens of Black Dragon Zealots were sliced into pieces.

Seven afterimages struck out, and over a hundred late-stage Qi Refinement Black Dragon Zealots died under the sword qi.

The front half of the gengjin sword's blade shattered.

Chen Jianfeng leaned on his broken sword. A large amount of blood seeped from his seven facial orifices and his skin, dyeing him into a man of blood.

Despite such injuries, Chen Jianfeng showed no trace of fear or pain. His eyes were filled only with a sense of exhilarating killing intent.

[Golden Killing Sword Art—Golden Sand Spread] (Esoteric Art—Widest Killing Move)

Chen Jianfeng gripped the sword hilt tightly with his left hand. Endless Gengjin Spiritual Power erupted from his body, and Geng-Gold Sword Qi as fine as grains of sand rose up around him.

A Golden Sand Tornado descended. Faced with this disaster-like attack, the Black Dragon dependents began to feel the urge to retreat.

They wanted to run, but the immense suction of the Golden Sand Tornado pulled them back. Before long, the Golden Sand Tornado was dyed a terrifying blood-red.

Chen Jianfeng stood up and walked forward slowly. In his left hand, only the hilt of the gengjin sword remained.

"Monster! You aren't human!"

"Why are you so strong?!"

The remaining two Black Dragon heroes wanted to flee, but under Chen Jianfeng's gaze, they couldn't even summon the will to run or resist.

[Golden Killing Sword Art—Invincible Sword] (Strongest Killing Move)

Holding only the remaining hilt, Chen Jianfeng slowly raised his hand and made a horizontal slash.

An ethereal sword qi swept through the bodies of the two hero units and then continued flying backward.

This sword strike was simple and unadorned, but anyone who saw it understood that this strike was invincible.
