Chapter 398 Underwater Entanglement
After the black dragon rushed up, it opened its mouth and sprayed a high-pressure water arrow at Long Chuqing. The water arrow was filled with immense force, and it created a silver arc of water like a sharp blade. Even the surrounding water was stirred up by the force.
Long Chuqing immediately spun around to avoid it, and the water arrow struck the rock wall behind her with a 'bang,' sending shards of rock flying and crashing towards Long Chuqing.
She dodged and weaved amidst the flying stones, and soon darted out of the murky waters.
The black dragon would not let this opportunity slip by easily. It quickly flashed to Long Chuqing's side, and its long tail lashed out again, stirring up a series of bubbling bubbles in the water.
Long Chuqing quickly flipped over and dived down. The black dragon's tail grazed her back with such force that it felt as if her back had been branded with a hot iron.
Ignoring the pain in her back, she endured the discomfort and swam towards a rugged stone forest.
"Qingqing, are you alright?" Feifeng asked anxiously.
"No problem."
Long Chuqing held her breath and focused her mind, pondering a countermeasure: the black dragon's strength far exceeded her expectations.
Regardless of the black dragon's thousands of years of cultivation, the sheer brute force contained in its massive body is enough to send chills down one's spine. If its thick tail were to be struck with full force, one's internal organs and bones would be shattered.
Judging from its posture, it won't let me off easily.
Long Chuqing realized that simply hiding was not a good strategy; he had to seize an opportunity to counterattack, and only by outsmarting the enemy could he escape.
The black dragon coiled around the stone forest, its crimson eyes shining like two deadly lamps in the dark waters.
It didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, enjoying the hunting game as if it were a cat playing with a mouse.
At first, it only wanted to swallow the young dragon in front of it quickly, but when it saw her fleeing in a sorry state in order to survive, it suddenly changed its mind.
An even more wicked thought began to take root in his mind.
It wants to fully enjoy the thrill of chasing its prey, watching it struggle on the verge of death, and relishing the process of its struggle leading to despair. It wants to see the fear in its eyes about itself.
Especially this young dragon in front of it, nothing pleases it more than trampling on the dignity of the dragon race.
It wanted to slowly toy with this noble creature from the clouds, to watch how the once arrogant descendant of the dragon clan would grovel before it, how he would tremble and crawl on the ground, begging for his life with his shattered dignity.
At that time, all dignity, pride, and dragon bloodline will be trampled under its feet. The pleasure of trampling on the dignity of dragons is more wonderful than directly devouring them.
"Hahaha..." the black dragon grinned maliciously.
Just then, the Phoenix Feather Sword transformed into a streak of light and suddenly attacked from behind the black dragon.
Feng Yu had been waiting for an opportunity to act when she suddenly heard the black dragon burst into inexplicable laughter. She thought to herself: This black dragon is laughing so cunningly, it must be thinking of some wonderful thing!
The black dragon sensed the approaching danger, turned around abruptly, and slapped its tail at the incoming sword.
Phoenix Feather spun rapidly, deftly dodging the tail's attack, then quickly turned the sword and spun downwards, the blade swiftly slicing across the black dragon's belly scales.
With a "sizzle" sound, even in the water, the friction between the sword blade and the scales still produced sparks.
Unfortunately, the black dragon's scales were too tough, and with Feng Yu's strength greatly reduced and her movements hindered in the water, the attack only left shallow marks on the scales and failed to damage its flesh.
"Such hard scales," Feng Yu exclaimed.
That makes sense, though. After all, it had cultivated for over a thousand years and endured countless tribulations to transform into a dragon. If its scales and armor were truly so fragile, how could it be worthy of the title?
Feng Yu pondered: If I want to harm this black dragon, I must lure it to the surface of the water. Fighting in the water would put me at a great disadvantage, as I would be restricted in every way.
How dare you damage its scales!
Enraged, the black dragon flipped over and opened its mouth to bite the Phoenix Feather Sword.
Although the Phoenix Feather Sword's power was limited in the water, its speed was not diminished at all. In addition, the sword's size could be changed at will, so the black dragon's attack missed completely, as if it had been toyed with.
"hateful……"
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Long Chuqing emerged from the stone forest and quietly circled behind the black dragon. His dragon claws precisely pierced through the gaps in the scales, then suddenly pulled out, tearing off several black scales to reveal bloody flesh.
“┗|｀O′|┛ Aww…”
The black dragon, in pain, suddenly turned around and let out an angry roar.
"Damn ants, you're asking for it."
It thrashed about, stirring up towering waves, trying to shake off Long Chuqing on its back.
Long Chuqing was indeed thrown off by the swirling water.
The black dragon used its long tail to lift a nearby stone pillar and smash it towards Long Chuqing.
Long Chuqing did not choose to dodge, but raised his dragon claw to block the stone pillar flying towards him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Phoenix Feather Sword thrust at the black dragon again, this time aiming at its eyes. Since the scales were hard and could not be pierced, the eyes were the weakest point.
How could the black dragon let this treacherous plan succeed? It slightly tilted its head to avoid the attack, and at the same time opened its mouth to bite the sword.
"Om-"
A metallic clang echoed in the water.
Upon closer inspection, the Phoenix Feather Sword was found to be firmly held in the jaws of the black dragon.
Fortunately, the Phoenix Feather Sword enlarged its blade in time and held it against the black dragon's mouth, preventing it from being swallowed.
Not only are the scales on the black dragon's body hard, but the skin in its mouth is also exceptionally tough. The Phoenix Feather Sword could not pierce its upper jaw directly. Instead, due to the black dragon's enormous bite force, the sword was already slightly bent, as if it was at risk of breaking at any moment.
While Feng Yu was entangled in a battle with the black dragon, Long Chuqing attacked the black dragon again. Although the black dragon was engaged in a battle with Feng Yu's sword, it did not let its guard down. When it saw Long Chuqing coming, its long tail suddenly swept out from underwater.
Long Chuqing had anticipated this, and changed direction the instant before the dragon's tail touched it, swimming rapidly toward the black dragon's back.
The dragon claws once again pried open the black dragon's scales, while simultaneously stabbing the phoenix hairpin deep into the broken scales.
The moment the phoenix hairpin pierced the black dragon's body, a paralyzing force instantly seeped into its body, while simultaneously releasing a destructive force within it.
"Roar……"
The black dragon roared in pain.
Damn it, damn it!
It cursed inwardly, flinging the phoenix feather sword from its mouth, and its massive body thrashed wildly.
Long Chuqing was flung up by the black dragon's wildly swinging body. At the same time, the black dragon's long tail lashed out at her again. This time, she couldn't dodge in time and was hit hard by the tail, flying away like a kite with a broken string.
Fortunately, Fei Feng managed to erect a defensive barrier in time, which helped her block some of the damage, but she was still injured and coughed up blood.
The black dragon's eyes grew even more bloodshot as it glared fiercely at Long Chuqing, who had flown away. At this moment, the leisurely mood it had when toying with its prey had completely vanished.
I thought it was just a weak young dragon that I could easily kill, but I never expected it could fight back.
It seems that even the weakest force, when pushed to the brink and with no way out, will fight back desperately.
Moreover, its opponent was of dragon blood; it had been careless.
She should have been killed immediately.
