Chapter 2611: Chapter 2609: Picking Up the Scrap

“Retreat, the power of that Black Dragon is too strong, and even if Saifu can’t take action, there are still many unknown powers deep inside here, and since we’ve just caused such a huge commotion, staying longer might lead to trouble.”

Drethin Lynos looked stern, and without caring what Fang Xiang thought, he immediately began retreating the way they came.

Fang Xiang hesitated a bit but then followed directly.

“Coming here, at least we’ve accumulated some achievements. After going back, exchanging them for something might let us survive in the Great war. As for the final resolution, it’s not something we should worry about; what we need to do now is survive first.”

Fang Xiang followed closely behind.

As they retreated to the cave entrance, a heavy flapping sound seemed to echo in the air.

“Watch out!”

Fang Xiang’s expression changed drastically. His Divine Power mainly enhanced his vision, with the highest proportion in visual strengthening.

Therefore, the moment the Black Dragon appeared, he immediately shouted to warn.

However, the Black Dragon’s speed was much faster than he anticipated. One second it was far away, and a few seconds later, its overwhelming presence was near them.

The massive Black Dragon dove straight at them; its very body was the most lethal weapon against these small Human Spirits before it.

“Fight!”

Drethin Lynos had a ferocious look on his face; at this speed, they had no chance to dodge.

In the blink of an eye, he swung an axe towards the dragon’s claw.

The moment the axe made contact with the Black Dragon’s half-decayed claw, a tremendous power erupted from his arm.

A sound like cicadas buzzed in the Void around Drethin Lynos, and an invisible Void force drilled into his skin, causing an overwhelming change in his aura in an instant.

“Orderly rules! Monstrous Strength!”

The moment they touched, it surprisingly produced a sound like metal clashing.

Slash!

Drethin Lynos roared, his expression twisted from exertion.

With a mighty roar, the axe chopped down.

The Black Dragon’s claw was split open with a nearly twenty-centimeter gash, but compared to its giant body, the wound seemed insignificant.

Sss!

The Black Dragon’s other foreclaw pierced through Drethin Lynos’s heart, and then it slowly turned sideways.

Fang Xiang looked hopeless; facing such a colossal creature, he felt utterly powerless.

A rotten breath spewed from its enormous nostrils, completely corroding Fang Xiang’s body.

Then the Black Dragon flapped its half-decayed Bone Wings again and swept towards Ethan Smith and his group.

On the other side, Ethan Smith and his allies had already arrived at the location where the Black Dragon previously was.

At this moment, the Black Dragon was writhing in pain on the ground; in front of it lay the figure of a human, but it no longer had any signs of life.

“This Black Dragon seems to be seriously injured, probably due to the gigantic explosive wave earlier.”

Grayson immediately drew the Tiger Wing, thinking that if it were a fully healthy Black Dragon, they wouldn’t dare imagine confronting it. But now, in its dire state, this was the perfect opportunity to slay it.

The earlier massive explosion, Ethan Smith and his group guessed, was likely caused by a powerful outsider. Now it seems they had a conflict with the Black Dragon, causing it such immense harm.

“Great opportunity!”

Without any hesitation, Ethan Smith drew his bowstring.

In an instant, he had stretched the bowstring to its maximum.

Nearly eighty percent of the bowstring was drawn back.

As the bowstring was drawn, a light arrow formed from surrounding forces instantly appeared in his hand.

“No, it’s not enough!”

In Ethan Smith’s fist, upper arm, palm, and the meridians and bones involved in exertion, a fierce pain surfaced, as if unable to bear the bowstring’s backlash.

Strengthening!

Ethan Smith used nearly half of his Soul Holy Power to further strengthen three parts of his body.

This was something he learned from his conversation with Grayson earlier; with their current Divine Power, the most effective and precise allocation could maximize their abilities.

Under his observation with the Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil, the exact positions of exertion needed for the bowstring and even which meridian was crystal clear in his vision.

Once those body parts were strengthened by a third again, his bowstring stabilized completely.

If he were to enhance his entire body, perhaps even all of his Divine Power would be insufficient.

The force of the eighty percent drawn bowstring shot out; the light arrow lodged directly on the Black Dragon’s head, causing a massive explosion.

The Black Dragon’s body was instantly engulfed in explosive flames, crackling fiercely.

An extremely foul stench spread outwards, yet despite Ethan Smith’s maximum arrow, the Black Dragon didn’t die.

“Quick, slay it! Grayson! Another Black Dragon is coming.”

Ethan Smith shouted, his entire body shivering uncontrollably after expending all his strength.

Right now, he couldn’t even muster the strength to clench a fist, and what terrified him the most was spotting another Black Dragon in the sight of the Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil.

Grayson didn’t hesitate when facing the already dying Black Dragon.

He drove the blade straight through its eye, piercing its head, utterly destroying the Black Dragon.

A torrent of violent Divine Power rushed into his Divine Soul, and without pause, Grayson’s body underwent significant changes, reaching full enhancement in an instant.

Ting!

Guard!

He crossed his blades with both hands in nearly no time.

The Tiger Wing bent into a semicircle, and Grayson’s body sprang backward with the blade’s recoil.

Even so, his face flushed slightly.

A spurt of fresh blood shot from his mouth; despite acquiring a full Black Dragon’s Divine Power and enhancing his body.

And focusing all strength on defense-related areas, even then, the bones in his arm were somewhat deformed from the impact.

But against this fully healthy Black Dragon, Grayson was completely unmatched.

Crack!

Grayson twisted and adjusted his arm bones back and then crushed and swallowed three Power Back Pills.

He didn’t stop, advancing instead of retreating.

As he advanced, a blade arc traced across the Black Dragon’s body.

In an instant, the Black Dragon lowered its head slightly.

It dodged a slash aimed at its neck, losing two scales from its head.

“Rotten creature, yet still possesses such battle awareness.”

Grayson wore a grave expression.

Faced with such an intimidating Black Dragon, coupled with not insignificant intelligence, he was already doomed to be unable to prevail, and now he could only hope Ethan Smith had something up his sleeve.
