Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Hunting the Devourer
 

“Is this… Metal Element Control?” Xuanyu noticed that the scales sprouting on the wings of the lower-rank Dragon Clan were formed by converged metal elements, adhering to both sides of its wings and enlarging them.

Xuanyu, too, picked up speed, and in no time at all, they had flown out of the bounds of Xiaoyun City, speeding towards the suburbs.

Once out of Xiaoyun City, Xuanyu intentionally began to slow down, letting his adversary close in.

Seeing that it was about to catch up, the lower-rank Dragon Clan accelerated once again. The dragon flapped its wings vigorously, and a large amount of metal elements in the air started to converge around its body, causing it to continuously grow larger before charging directly at Xuanyu.

A shadow enlarged overhead; Xuanyu retracted his wings in a flurry, seemingly panicking as he dodged, and his body plummeted down towards the ground.

“Why don’t you stop running if you’re so capable?” The lower-rank Dragon Clan, seeing the other party’s awkward appearance, felt a surge of satisfaction. With an abrupt dive, it swooped down on Xuanyu, pressing down like a mountain.

At that moment, Xuanyu transformed. His illusory form suddenly contracted, and his body significantly shrank as he accelerated downwards into the forest.

The lower-rank Dragon Clan was stunned. Dragon Clan abilities were diverse, especially during the Dragon-Transformation Period, where False Dragons of different races emerged, each possessing unique abilities seldom shared between them, all related to their Self Body from before the transformation.

What ability is this? Shrinking?

At that instant, the effects of the Illusion Drink he had consumed were fading. The Dragon Clan, known for their high intelligence, began to sense that something was amiss. It flapped its wings and hovered mid-air.

A conflict between Dragon Clan members was pointless; after all, they were from the same kin. Snorting angrily, the lower-rank Dragon Clan showed no intention of descending.

“You got lucky, don’t let me see you again.” Throwing down these harsh words, it prepared to leave, knowing its own limits. Even among the lower-rank Dragon Clan, it was a weaker presence. Out here in the wilderness, getting beaten up would be a loss.

However, just then, a piercing shriek rang through the air. Before it could react, an arrow was already before its face.

The arrow appeared out of nowhere, leaving no chance for evasion.

“Bang!” The arrow pierced directly into its left wing and immediately, a strong paralytic sensation spread, causing it to panic as its heavy body uncontrollably plummeted downwards.

Hastily, it tried pounding its wings desperately to regain control of its form. But trying to regain control was easier said than done. It had already covered its body with metal elements, maximizing its offensive and defensive capabilities. However, it also brought the body to its heaviest state.

Left with no choice, it could only contract its wings, enveloping its body while the metal elements increased again. It had great confidence in its defensive power; even if it fell from this height, the trees below would pose no substantial danger.

As the lower-rank Dragon Clan fell, when it was about thirty meters from the ground, a figure suddenly soared into the air. This figure seemed somewhat ethereal but was incredibly massive.

The lower-rank Dragon Clan felt strong arms fiercely wrap around its neck, and in the next instant, its heavy body was uncontrollably whirled around, using the falling momentum to slam hard into the ground.

“Boom—” The ground was struck, creating a deep crater.

The lower-rank Dragon Clan was thrown into complete disarray, nearly as if its soul had been smashed out of its body. In the next moment, something heavy pressed down on its back as a figure landed on its spine.

A horrifying sense of danger suddenly arose in him. Being of the Dragon Clan, his strength might have been weak, but that was only relative to the Dragon Clan itself. Without hesitation, his body curled up, all his scales inflated, shielding his body like numerous shields.

His strongest ability was defense. Although he did not know where the attack was coming from, the sense of fatal threat was too clear.

However, just as his scales had begun to form, all of a sudden, he felt as if his body were melting away, with all the Gold elements leaving him.

Then, deep blue shadows had already penetrated the back of his neck; neither the hard scales nor the tough dragon skin offered any defense at that moment.

A terrifying force of absorption came instantly, causing his body to tremble violently as he desperately tried to struggle. But the two thick arms around his neck burst forth with an immense strength and exuded a horrifying aura that instilled intense fear in him.

Lan Xuanyu stood on the back of the Lower-rank Dragon Clan member, the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Spear already deeply stabbed into his neck. In that instant, the profound deep blue of the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Spear became translucent, clearly showing the glowing flows within.

“Mengqin, you’re up,” Lan Xuanyu said to Lan Mengqin, who was not far aside.

“Okay.” Lan Mengqin sat cross-legged. She had seen Qian Lei’s condition when he first attempted the Burning Bloodline Body Building. Without hesitation, she ignited some of her bloodlines.

Although she didn’t possess a physique as robust as Qian Lei’s, with the Jade Swan present, her recovery ability was the strongest among all. And, if any danger arose, the Jade Swan could also help mitigate the losses promptly.

Green flames emerged from the surface of Lan Mengqin’s body, flowing around, and she first chose her right arm. Almost instantly, her right arm became transparent, through which one could even see the flowing flames.

“Ah Bao,” Lan Xuanyu commanded in a deep voice.

The Treasure Hunting Beast “swooshed” out from Lan Xuanyu’s forehead.

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes suddenly turned deep blue, a terrifying aura burst forth from him, at that moment, he felt as though he had turned into a black hole, devouring everything around him, including the light.

Qian Lei held tightly to the Lower-rank Dragon Clan’s neck, preventing him from moving, and being the closest to Lan Xuanyu, he could distinctly feel how terrifying the aura emanating from Lan Xuanyu was.

Fortunately, this sensation lasted only a moment, and the next, with his right hand holding the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Spear and his left hand slapping towards the Treasure Hunting Beast, a stream of gray-black energy flowed directly towards the Treasure Hunting Beast.

The Treasure Hunting Beast’s eyes brightened, its hands circling, creating a white whirlwind in front of it. The gray-black energy entered the whirlwind and was continuously devoured.

The large body of the Lower-rank Dragon Clan under Lan Xuanyu’s feet began to shrivel, its struggles growing weaker and weaker.

The Treasure Hunting Beast’s eyes suddenly shone brightly, its large eyes gazing at Lan Mengqin, as two streams of blue light shot from its eyes and landed on her.

At that moment, because of her Burning Bloodline, Lan Mengqin’s entire body was trembling violently. The clothes on her right arm had already burned away.

As the blue light rushed into her, her body jerked suddenly, the light on her right arm somewhat diminished, and Lan Mengqin felt as if a torrent had surged within her bloodlines, converging somehow onto her own energy. Her meridians, bones, and muscles, which were being destroyed due to the burning, were rapidly repairing. The strange precipitate produced by the fire seemed to cycle back and forth between burning and healing, quickly reducing the pain, which although still intense, seemed more bearable than before due to her enhanced condition.

“It’s good,” Tang Yuge nodded toward Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu gave a thumbs-up and continued to absorb the Lower-rank Dragon Clan member.

Although the intrinsic energy strength of this Lower-rank Dragon Clan member was about eight rings, because he had consumed the Illusion Drink and clearly was not accustomed to frequent combat, he had not been able to display his full strength during the previous fighting. Moreover, what he faced included Lan Xuanyu, comparable to a Titled Douluo, Tang Yuge whose Metal properties completely constrained him, Yuanen Huihui who specialized in remote attacks, and the immensely strong Qian Lei.
