Chapter 1197: The Mighty Qi Tianlong

They were even growing impatient now, looking forward to this match ending sooner so they could start trying to absorb it themselves.

In the next instant, Lan Xuanyu beat his wings. Without waiting for Qi Tianlong to attack, he had already taken the initiative to dive down at him, launching a ferocious pounce.

Qi Tianlong was feeling quite awful inside at this moment. That Dragon God’s Roar had caused a strange change in his bloodline, almost as if it had been severed in an instant. The momentum he had accumulated hadn’t just dropped by a third—it had shaken his will to fight. His Dragon Force had also been greatly reduced.

But despite all that, when Lan Xuanyu ferociously dove down, the long saber in his hand still swept upward in an instant. Powerful fire elements burst forth once again.

It had to be said that Qi Tianlong’s control over fire elements had reached near the level of law. Otherwise, he couldn’t have shattered Lan Xuanyu’s Elemental Stripping. Though this was a hastily gathered second strike, wherever the giant saber passed, the air trembled, and even the entire space was torn open. Blazing heat plus devouring. A powerful suction force emerged from the shattered space, pulling at Lan Xuanyu’s body. The searing heat was upon him almost instantly.

A four-colored halo rippled out, and Elemental Stripping emerged once more. Although Elemental Stripping was most effective against the four basic elements of water, fire, earth, and wind, it also affected other attributes.

The torn spatial rift paused for a moment, and the suction force greatly diminished. The fire elements dimmed as well.

But just then, a trace of golden-red suddenly appeared on the long saber. A violent flame burst out, forcibly shattering Elemental Stripping once again, and headed straight for Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu had never thought Elemental Stripping could give him an instant advantage. From the very first time, he understood that his Elemental Stripping probably wouldn’t be very effective against this opponent. But what he wanted was the opportunity it gave him—the chance not to be locked on.

His body spun in the air almost instantly. If this were a fighter jet, it would be a horizontal roll.

Dive, horizontal roll. This was an extremely standard space fighter combat maneuver. Instead of choosing to clash head-on, he dodged the opponent’s strike.

At the same time, Lan Xuanyu’s dragon wing whipped toward Qi Tianlong.

Qi Tianlong was currently in human form. Although wearing the Divine Dragon Armor and having his aura surging made his body much larger, compared to Lan Xuanyu’s dragon-form body, he was still quite small.

Moreover, this was a charged strike from Lan Xuanyu. Roll, dragon wing whip. The attack was incredibly fierce.

But at this moment, Qi Tianlong demonstrated the powerful strength of the number one among the younger generation of the Dragon Clan. He didn’t dodge. The saber light missed, and his body suddenly surged horizontally, ramming his shoulder into the dragon wing. At the same time, both hands brought the saber up in another sweep, slashing toward the base of Lan Xuanyu’s dragon wing.

He was clearly confident he wouldn’t be knocked flying by Lan Xuanyu’s strike, and would then be able to inflict heavy damage in return.

“Bang!” The dragon wing lashed against Qi Tianlong’s shoulder. Immediately, a large swath of firelight burst out. But a strange scene followed. Although Qi Tianlong’s entire body was covered in bursting firelight, he was clearly unharmed. More terrifying still, the armor on his shoulder, as if glued together by magma, stuck to Lan Xuanyu’s dragon wing. At the same time, the long saber in his hand had already slashed up.

Not only powerful, but vicious. After all, he had essentially taken a Divine Annihilation Shock head-on, using that opportunity to instantly launch a counterattack!

With his cultivation level, if that saber struck, Lan Xuanyu probably wouldn’t be able to fly anymore.

Just then, a trace of dark blue suddenly surfaced on his body’s surface, causing Qi Tianlong’s speed to pause for an instant. In midair, Bai Xiuxiu’s Deep Blue Gaze had already burst forth.

Seizing that instant, Lan Xuanyu’s seven-colored dragon wings shook. A layer of dragon scales forcibly broke off, freeing him from the adhesion. Simultaneously, he released a close-range Elemental Stripping, suppressing Qi Tianlong’s fire attribute for a moment. A dragon claw rose, ferociously meeting the long saber.

With a loud “clang,” Lan Xuanyu was sent flying. His enormous Dragon God body tumbled through the air, bursting with blinding flames.

The flames appeared golden-red, and the terrifying heat instantly distorted the surrounding air.

But the flames only lasted an instant before suddenly being absorbed into Lan Xuanyu’s body like rivers flowing into the sea, all of them vanishing. The seven-colored scales abruptly turned fire-red, then reverted to seven-colored, as if nothing had happened at all.

“Fire immunity?” Qi Tianlong’s expression finally changed somewhat.

Dragon God Avatar—Lan Xuanyu could now immunize himself against six elemental attributes, namely the six he controlled. Of course, it couldn’t be complete immunity. Only the true Dragon God could achieve complete immunity to all attributes. But he could also digest the vast majority of elemental power.

Coupled with the fact that he tempered his body day and night with Divine Annihilation Lightning and Dragon Force Tempering, his physical strength was extremely high, and his resistance to elements was even more terrifying.

Shaking the dragon wing that had earlier shed some scales, seven-colored scales drilled out from beneath the skin one by one, covering the wing. His dragon claws landed on the ground, plowing furrows into it, but anyone could see he hadn’t truly been wounded.

This first full exchange could be considered evenly matched. Qi Tianlong, who had taken a Divine Annihilation Shock head-on, hadn’t gained much of an advantage either. Lan Xuanyu had lost some dragon scales, and cracks had appeared on Qi Tianlong’s Divine Dragon Armor as well.

In the sky, the enormous deep-blue dragon was circling and dancing gracefully, rings of black halo rippling out into the air. They caused the temperature in the air to rise and fall unpredictably, contending against Qi Tianlong’s fire elements. The Heaven Demon Dance in the Abyssal Frost Demon Dragon’s Avatar state.

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes gazed intently, divine light shining in them. Qi Tianlong held his battle saber, fire elements still bursting around his body. The gap in cultivation made Elemental Stripping’s effect on him truly limited.

If it were one-on-one, he would have already launched a fierce assault. But in a two-on-one situation, he didn’t dare underestimate Bai Xiuxiu in the sky at all. Bai Xiuxiu’s control and attack power were subtle and imperceptible, and she also possessed instantaneous burst capability. Qi Tianlong wouldn’t think Bai Xiuxiu could harm him, but she could very likely buy enough time for Lan Xuanyu.

Having just taken a Divine Annihilation Shock head-on, he wasn’t feeling well either. That terrifying shockwave force—even his Fire Dragon King Divine Dragon Armor couldn’t block it entirely. A portion had still seeped into his body. More importantly, the bloodline power contained in that shockwave had actually produced a certain suppressing effect on his bloodline. This was also why he hadn’t pursued after his saber was blocked.

If he didn’t dissolve that seeping force, it could very likely accumulate and cause major trouble later in the battle.

This pair, Lan and Xiuxiu, was stronger than he had imagined. Even stronger than when he had watched “them” compete a few days ago.

Seven-colored halo flowed around Lan Xuanyu’s body, and all six major elements in the air converged toward him. In pure fire elements he was certainly far inferior to Qi Tianlong, but in the Dragon God Transformation state, he could absorb all kinds of elements from all directions to replenish himself, and the dragon energy he had earlier inhaled into his body was also an effective supplement.

His dragon wings beat, and Lan Xuanyu rose into the air once again, colorful light wreathing his body, bursting with dazzling radiance. In midair, rings of deep-blue halo continued to fall, encircling the battlefield, suppressing the presence of fire elements. Bai Xiuxiu’s Heaven Demon Dance was also growing faster and faster.

Heaven Demon Dance was like a bomb being charged—no one knew when it would explode.

Qi Tianlong took a deep breath and let out a loud dragon cry toward the sky. Light flames instantly surged up around his body. In the next moment, his body soared upward as well, and in the blink of an eye he had grown to over 15 meters tall. The long saber in his hand grew proportionally, and his aura surged explosively.

With the Fire Dragon King Divine Dragon Armor possessing him, at this moment he looked like a fire giant. His entire body was crystalline red, and his vast fire element aura instantly skyrocketed.
