Chapter 387: 296 Slaying a Fourth-Order Flood Dragon (No More Today)_1

"A fourth-order Flood Dragon! Where is it? How strong is this fourth-order Flood Dragon?"

Shen Long inquired.

"It’s in Myriad Flame Valley, somewhat far from here. A fourth-order, early-stage Red Fire Flood Dragon. I want its Spirit Soul. The rest is yours. How about it?"

Chu Buyu proposed.

"Fairy Chu, how come you have ventured into the Donghua Cultivation Realm? Why aren’t you with your fellow sect members?"

Shen Long curiously asked.

The Cultivation Resources of the Northern Sea were much richer than those of the Donghua Cultivation Realm. It was indeed strange that Chu Buyu came to the Donghua Cultivation Realm alone.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I am merely traveling around the Donghua Cultivation Realm. There’s nothing unsuitable about that, is there?"

Chu Buyu responded with a smile.

She had consulted the Tianji Hermit for a divination about her fortune. According to the results of the divination, she had a great opportunity awaiting her in the Donghua Cultivation Realm, which Chu Buyu had not yet found.

Her gaze fell upon Yuan Rui, and she asked with curiosity, "Who is this fellow daoist?"

"I am Yuan Rui from Spirt Control Sect. I’ve heard from Junior Brother Shen that Fairy Chu has shared trials and tribulations with him."

Yuan Rui greeted with a cupped-fist salute.

"We just helped each other. How about it? Shall we join forces to eliminate the fourth-order Flood Dragon, with its Spirit Soul belonging to me?"

Chu Buyu inquired.

Having been acquainted with Shen Long for over a decade, she knew that Shen Long was not the type to cause senseless slaughter, which is why she dared to propose cooperation. Were it another Nascent Soul Cultivator, Chu Buyu would not have made such an offer.

Shen Long had no objections. He turned to Yuan Rui and telepathically said, "Senior Brother Yuan, I have no objections. What do you think?"

"I, too, have no objections. The dragon’s hide is mine, and I’d like some of the dragon meat as well."

Yuan Rui communicated through telepathy.

The flesh and blood of a fourth-order Flood Dragon were highly nourishing. If consumed by those practicing Body Cultivation, it could greatly enhance physical strength.

Shen Long nodded, then said to Chu Buyu, "No problem, let’s go!"

Yuan Rui took the valuables from the body of the man in green and left the corpse for Shen Long to feed to the Ice Flood Dragon.

Chu Buyu put away her Dharma Treasure and turned into a Red Escape Light that pierced through the sky. Shen Long and Yuan Rui made their way to the back of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle, which lightly flapped its wings and followed.

After half a day, Chu Buyu landed amidst a crimson bamboo forest littered with numerous bamboo leaves.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle also descended, while Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

The eyes of Hundred Eyes Cicada lit up with a blinding golden light. Shen Long nodded and said, "Eighty miles away in an underground cave, there indeed lies a Red Fire Flood Dragon."

Seeing the Hundred Eyes Cicada, Chu Buyu’s face showed a thoughtful expression.

"Fourth-order Flood Dragons are not easy to handle. If it decides to escape, we will hardly be able to stop it. It would be best to lure it into a Formation and use the Formation to eliminate the Red Fire Flood Dragon,"

Yuan Rui stated.

With a fourth-order Flood Dragon’s formidable body, if set on escaping, they truly would not be able to intercept it.

"I have a Profound Ice Demon Slaying Formation that can be used against the Red Fire Flood Dragon. We’ll need to draw it into the Formation, though,"

Chu Buyu said.

"Fairy Chu sets up the Formation, and I’ll lure the Red Fire Flood Dragon."

Shen Long volunteered. His unity with the Gold-Winged Windroc meant that the fourth-order Red Fire Flood Dragon couldn’t possibly catch up.

"Then it’s settled."

Chu Buyu began setting the Formation Flag and Array Plate.

"Junior Brother Shen, let me lure the Red Fire Flood Dragon instead! The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle can perform the Thunder Escape Technique, which is superior to the Wind Escape Technique of the Gold-Winged Windroc,"

Yuan Rui suggested.

His body was also quite resilient, so he wouldn’t be worried even if the Red Fire Flood Dragon caught up to him.

What he didn’t know was that the purity of the Gold-Winged Windroc’s bloodline had reached level five, which was incomparable to other fourth-order Gold-Winged Windrocs.

"Alright, then. We’ll entrust you with this task, Senior Brother Yuan."

Shen Long agreed.

Yuan Rui’s body glowed with a bright golden light as he fused with the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle. A pair of large golden wings grew from his back. With a light flap of the golden wings, he flew towards the distance.

Shen Long put away the Hundred Eyes Cicada and, along with Chu Buyu, cast a spell to conceal themselves, waiting in silence.

After a short while, a deafening sound of a dragon’s roar came from afar, and a massive golden thunderbolt shot up into the sky, drawing attention.

In the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Golden thunder clashed with crimson fire, stirring up waves of energy.

A moment later, a Golden Escape Light flew from the distance at high speed.

Hundreds of giant fireballs, like a meteor shower, streaked across the sky, aiming for the Golden Escape Light.

The Golden Escape Light stopped above the bamboo forest, revealing the figure of Yuan Rui. His golden wings were covered in arcs of electricity, and he wielded a golden long stick in his hand.

Dense giant fireballs shot straight towards Yuan Rui, who let out a roar that pierced through the heavens, spewing forth a golden soundwave, facing it head-on.

The golden soundwave collided with the giant fireballs, which instantly erupted into a vast expanse of red flames.

The red flames flared up, emitting a blinding red light, and a Red Fire Flood Dragon tens of meters long appeared, its body covered in red dragon scales. Upon close examination, one could see signs it had been struck by lightning.

As soon as the Red Fire Flood Dragon appeared, it opened its massive jaw and expelled a thick red flame that went straight for Yuan Rui.

Yuan Rui opened his mouth and shot out a thick golden lightning bolt, blocking the red flame.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon’s tail swept fiercely, like a long red whip, heading straight for Yuan Rui.

Yuan Rui swung his golden stick to meet it, colliding with the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s tail, only to be sent flying uncontrollably, crashing through several bamboo stalks before slamming heavily onto the ground.

Before he had a chance to stand up, a thick red flame descended from the sky, landing on him and engulfing his figure in raging flames.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon shook its head and tail, lunging towards Yuan Rui with the intent of smashing him into a pulp.

Shen Long appeared, holding the Lihuo Stick in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, a vast expanse of red stick shadows swept out, like towering red mountains, striking the Red Fire Flood Dragon one after another.

A series of muffled thuds sounded as the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s huge body was sent flying, knocking down a large number of bamboo stalks.

Before the Red Fire Flood Dragon could rise, a thick golden pillar of lightning tore through the sky, striking the Red Fire Flood Dragon precisely on its body.

A massive rumbling sound erupted, and a blanket of golden lightning enveloped the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s body.

Six rays of white light shot up into the sky, converging in the high heavens into a huge white curtain of light, enveloping an area of fifty miles around.

A dragon’s roar, filled with extreme fury, sounded as the golden lightning dispersed, revealing the Red Fire Flood Dragon whose abdomen had several dragon scales missing, bleeding profusely but without serious harm.

Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and Yuan Rui each held a Formation Plate that flickered with white light, simultaneously channeling spell after spell into them.

The ground surged with a mass of white cold air, and the ground began to freeze. An area of fifty miles around rapidly turned to ice, the layer thickening swiftly as the temperature dropped quickly, large quantities of white snowflakes drifting down from the high sky, transforming into foot-long white ice blades that sped towards the Red Fire Flood Dragon.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon let out a long howl to the sky, issuing a red soundwave that shattered the incoming white ice blades.

It spat out a vast expanse of red flames, which landed on the white light curtain above, immediately producing a puff of blue smoke.

Its massive body collided with the white light curtain, causing an indentation before quickly returning to normal.

Foot-long white ice blades materialized one after another, heading straight for the Red Fire Flood Dragon. The enormous ice blades kept striking its body, making sounds of metal clashing, but the Red Fire Flood Dragon remained unharmed.

"Fairy Chu, you manipulate the formation to deal with the Red Fire Flood Dragon. Junior Brother Shen and I will cast spells against it. Merely relying on the formation, I feel we can’t kill the Red Fire Flood Dragon," Yuan Rui suggested.

The bodily strength of a fourth-stage Flood Dragon was too formidable; even the Profound Ice Demon Slaying Formation was slightly inadequate, though it could extinguish ordinary fourth-stage Monster Beasts with no problem.

Chu Buyu nodded, changed her spell, and a ripple spread across the surface of the white light curtain, revealing an opening. Shen Long and Yuan Rui flew in, and the gap closed behind them.

Yuan Rui’s body shone with golden light, transforming into a giant golden ape several zhang tall, while Shen Long wielded the Lihuo Stick, smashing it towards the Red Fire Flood Dragon, the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle and the Gold-Winged Windroc circled high in the sky, releasing spells to attack the Red Fire Flood Dragon.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon’s right claw struck forward, colliding with the Lihuo Stick, emitting a muffled sound. It let out a painfully intense dragon’s roar and was sent flying backward, heavily crashing into the white light screen.

A thick golden thunder pillar descended from the sky, striking the Red Fire Flood Dragon, and after a huge booming sound, the Red Fire Flood Dragon was engulfed in golden lightning.

With a gentle flap of the Gold-Winged Windroc’s wings, over a hundred giant Wind Blades shot out, sinking into the golden thunder light.

The giant golden ape, holding a golden staff, struck down toward the Red Fire Flood Dragon.

"Two fists are hard to match against four hands," the Red Fire Flood Dragon not only had to face Shen Long and Yuan Rui but also had to endure the attacks from the Gold-Winged Windroc and Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle, while Chu Buyu controlled the formation to attack the Red Fire Flood Dragon.

At first, the Red Fire Flood Dragon could still resist, but as time passed, it accrued more and more wounds, its reaction speed slowing down. Continuing at this rate, its death was certain.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon let out a heaven-shaking roar, spewing dozens of giant fireballs towards the giant golden ape and Shen Long.

The giant golden ape exhaled a golden sonic wave, smashing the incoming giant fireballs. A vast expanse of red flames spread in the sky, and a piercingly bright red firelight lit up, revealing the Red Fire Flood Dragon once more.

As soon as it appeared, it opened its huge maw and spewed out a thick stream of red flame, heading straight for the giant golden ape.

The giant golden ape reacted swiftly, retreating in form, dodging the red flame.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon attempted to launch another attack, but a powerful gravity surged, pulling its body quickly towards the ground.

Numerous white snowflakes condensed together, forming a white ice mountain several zhang tall, descending from the sky and smashing onto the Red Fire Flood Dragon. The colossal body of the Red Fire Flood Dragon struck the ground, creating a large pit.

Its body surface burst forth with a surge of red flames, white smoke rose from the ice mountain, which rapidly melted. Another thick golden thunder pillar descended from the sky, striking the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s head, drowning it in golden lightning.

Dense massive Wind Blades rained down from the sky, striking the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s body with a clang of metal on metal, and a vast number of Red Dragon Scales fell from its body, bleeding profusely.

A whooshing sound broke through the air, and a giant stick glowing with uncertain red light fell from the sky, heading for the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s head.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon tried to dodge, but the giant golden ape let out an angry roar, its body’s golden light flaring, and the gravity intensified significantly.

Chu Buyu’s spell changed, and abruptly, white ice chains appeared, binding the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s body.

With no means of evasion, the giant red stick smashed onto the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s head, which immediately burst open, blood gushing, as it let out a desperately painful roar.

"To endure a blow from a Spiritual Treasure and not die, truly befitting of a fourth-tier Flood Dragon," Shen Long commended.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon had already sustained severe damage and was incapable of resistance. This was already quite impressive; any other fourth-tier Monster Beasts would not have survived a head-on blow from a heavy Spiritual Treasure.

Mana from Shen Long poured crazily into the Lihuo Stick, which emanated an eye-blinding red light, smashing onto the Red Fire Flood Dragon’s head once again. This time, the Red Fire Flood Dragon lost all signs of life, and a mini Flood Dragon flew out of its body.

Chu Buyu summoned a gourd flickering with red light, captured the mini Flood Dragon, and withdrew the formation.
