Chapter 234 A Fierce Battle, the Final Winner of the Sniper Confrontation at the Middle Gate!
The heat wave swept.
Under the snow and wind, there was the scorching flame of the molten lava.
Ice and fire, cold and heat, interweaved into a fantastic and beautiful painting.
And under this beauty, there was a war that was about to break out.
Human eyes and dragon eyes, looking at each other, both felt the pressure brought to each other.
If it were normal times, if it were another monster, maybe this conflict would end with a simultaneous retreat after a period of confrontation.
After all, conflict will cause injuries, and injuries mean that hunting will be more difficult, which will lead to difficulties in survival.
However.
This is a territory challenge, and the challenged are two special individuals known for their violent and brutality. Therefore, this fierce battle that is about to begin will end with one side bleeding.
Ryan's eyes stared at the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon in the distance, observing carefully.
Compared with ordinary sword-slashing dragons, the tail blade of the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon can remain in a fiery red state without friction, and the extreme high temperature, coupled with its own sharpness, brings about a terrifying sharpness!
The heat wave overflowed, and under the confrontation, the fierce-tempered [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon was the first to lose his temper and launched an attack.
It stepped forward with one leg, stomped the ground fiercely, and used this thick thigh as a fulcrum. The body rotated quickly, driving the red tail blade behind it to draw a perfect semicircle and slashed towards Ryan.
The burning red blade, the heat is overwhelming!
Although the size of the two sides is very different, the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon's slash is extremely accurate, just like a skilled swordsman who has been accumulating power for a long time, and the moment the sword comes out, it will never miss.
Ryan's eyes are burning with fighting spirit, but his heart is as calm as ice.
Having fought against the Sword Slashing Dragon before, he knew very well that this kind of monster must not be treated normally, and it is not wrong to regard it as a monster swordsman.
Not to mention, the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Slashing Dragon in front of him is an absolute master in the Sword Slashing Dragon family.
Facing this burning red tail blade, Ryan did not retreat but advanced, and took the initiative to rush towards it.
Wherever the burning red tail blade passed, the space was faintly distorted.
The power of the three forbidden stars is about to touch the realm of the true god, and for this level of existence, space is no longer illusory to them, but can be truly touched.
However, if you have not reached the true god, you will not be able to truly affect space.
As the green light flowed and the burning red tail blade was about to approach him, Ryan's body disappeared from the spot, leaving only a phantom to be chopped into pieces.
With the blessing of [Broken Wind], Ryan's real body penetrated the space and came to the front end of the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Slashing Dragon's tail, which is the root of its tail.
Along with him, there appeared the Power Servant in pure energy state.
The slash missed, and the huge inertia drove the tail blade of [Taboo] Cinder Slash Sword Dragon to dive deep into the ice layer. Taking this opportunity, the surface of the energy sword in the Power Servant's hand was covered with misty red light, and then it pierced heavily into the hard skin at the root of the tail blade.
With a "sizzle" sound, the hard skin was softened, and Ryan's slash with a real power suddenly fell.
Time was tight. In such a short time, he didn't have time to complete the accumulation of "Splitting God", but the real power slash was already not weak.
"Bang!"
The obsidian sword covered with red patterns fell, but when it chopped at the root of the tail blade, a strong buzzing sound of metal and iron occurred.
"Boom..."
The terrifying recoil force sent Ryan flying with his sword, and [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon itself was not feeling well either. The root of its tail blade was hit hard. Although it was not seriously injured, its body was slightly unbalanced under the impact, making it unable to chase Ryan.
With his feet firmly on the ice, Ryan stared at the position where he had just slashed the root of the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon's tail blade, and found that there was only a slash mark about ten centimeters deep.
If this level of injury occurred on a human body, it would be a serious injury, but for a giant beast with a body size of tens of meters, it was not much different from being bitten by a mosquito.
Not to mention, there was no blood flowing out of the ten-centimeter-deep wound. The inside of the wound was more like metal than flesh and blood!
"It was a mistake..."
Ryan's heart was heavy.
Even after being "softened", the defensive ability of the tail of the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon is still extremely exaggerated. If you want to defeat the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon, you must start from other parts.
Fortunately, although this action did not achieve any results, at least no one was hurt, and the two sides were considered to have fought a draw.
Thinking of this, Ryan picked up the big sword and began to accumulate power.
The majestic spirituality and power were compressed and condensed in the body, and the strong aura forced the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon to not sit idly by.
It opened its bloody mouth, and a large ball of extremely unstable-looking spheres was spewed out, attacking Ryan at a high speed.
There was no gorgeous momentum, but Ryan, who was accumulating power, had a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
At his current level of swordsmanship practice, he would never feel threatened inexplicably, that is to say, this ball of unprepossessing ball was even more threatening to him than the slash of the burning red tail blade just now.
But even so, Ryan still did not choose to dodge or defend, but continued to accumulate power.
The spiritual light began to retract, and at this moment, the unstable sphere was about to approach.
A ray of red appeared inside the sphere of mist particles, and then there was a terrifying explosion that was difficult to describe in words!
“Boom!”
The ice layer on the ground was shaking, and huge snow mist and ice chips were blown up to the sky, and then fell like rain.
It took several seconds for the smoke and dust produced by the explosion to be blown away by the violent wind and snow.
At the center of the explosion, a tiankeng with a radius of nearly 100 meters appeared.
Directly above the tiankeng, Ryan, who was in the "Feast Space" and intact, took a step forward, and the greatsword in his hand that had completed "Splitting God + Residual Flame Ashes" seemed to be swung down slowly but quickly.
The red sword thread flashed in the air, and at the same time, [Greedy Grip] appeared and grabbed the tail blade of [Taboo] Cinder Destroying Sword Dragon.
The loss of energy and the approaching threat from the front made [Taboo] Cinder Destroying Sword Dragon roar loudly.
Under the thick scales on its body, there was a hot and sticky heat flow, like magma, and the whole dragon entered a violent state.
The sound waves of the dragon's roar were so strong that they formed fine ripples visible to the naked eye.
But even so, it still couldn't stop the approach of the red sword thread.
"Swish!"
Accompanied by a cutting sound that made people feel teeth ache, the huge body of [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon retreated more than ten steps. When it stopped retreating, a deep wound appeared on its face with thick hard armor.
Inside the wound, fine red and pure blue sword energy continued to cut. Among them, the effect of red sword energy was very weak, while the effect of pure blue sword energy was better.
Witnessing this scene, Ryan understood.
As a fire monster, [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon has a very high resistance to flame attacks, which Ryan neglected.
After all, the effect of the previous permafrost monster using flame attacks was quite outstanding.
"Roar!"
The facial injury made the fury in the eyes of [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon even stronger.
Red light emerged from its body, filling the cut on its face, and even formed a hideous and terrifying mask.
Red light flowed around it, mainly at its tail, forming a beating red flame. From a distance, the already long tail blade was nearly one-third longer.
The sharp edge swept across the entire field, leaving criss-crossing cut marks on a large area of ice.
"Huh..."
Ryan exhaled lightly, and the blue flame burned violently on his body.
Blue burst, start!
"Boom!"
The ground under the feet of [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon was like lava, and as it exerted its strength, it formed a rolling tide like a wave.
The red tail blade swept across, and the speed was at least half faster than before.
[Feast] had just been used and could not be used again in a short time. Ryan stepped on the ground and disappeared. When he appeared again, he had come behind [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon.
Just as Ryan was preparing to charge and slash, the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon, which would have been temporarily stiff due to the swing of its tail blade, continued to turn its body, turning the original one-stage slash into a two-stage slash that spun back.
The shrill sound of breaking wind, wrapped in a high temperature that was unbearable for the flesh and blood, rushed towards him.
The speed of this two-stage slash was even more terrifying because of the acceleration of the previous stage, and because of the influence of the Red Radiance's violent transformation, the coverage of this sweep was quite amazing.
Ryan frowned, but did not try to dodge again. Although Broken Wind could be used three times in a row, he had to keep one in case of emergency.
He raised the greatsword and blocked it in front of him, and the blood barrier was propped up at the same time.
"Crack!"
Like the crisp sound of broken glass, the fully consumed blood barrier only lasted for less than half a second before it fell apart. The burning red tail blade, which had slightly reduced its remaining power, continued to fall on the "tyrant blood membrane" on Ryan's body surface.
Violent ripples were raised, and the violent impact force was clearly felt by Ryan through the "tyrant blood membrane".
"Bang!"
The burning red tail blade was slightly bounced up. With the blessing of Ryan's [physique] that skyrocketed after the upgrade of his travel clone, the "tyrant blood membrane" had a much stronger defense. Coupled with the previously strengthened blood barrier, it finally blocked the slash.
The blood energy that was fed back made Ryan's power accumulation go further. The majestic spirituality gathered on the obsidian sword, forming a wind-attributed spiritual giant sword that was hundreds of meters high and wrapped in blue flames.
"Dong——"
The sword fell, and the [taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon in front of him swung its tail to resist, and both sides were repelled by the shock wave caused by the collision.
A hundred meters away, Ryan's eyes were solemn, and the repelled [taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon bit the end of his tail blade with his mouth, like a swordsman who was accumulating power and was about to draw his sword.
A feeling of being locked emerged from his heart.
Ryan knew that even though [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon was in a charging posture and inconvenient to move, as long as he had the slightest intention to retreat, he would be greeted by a devastating blow.
"Want to snipe at the middle gate?"
Ryan's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Charging and slashing is his best area. Even if his opponent is [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon, he will not admit defeat.
When two sides meet on a narrow road, the strong will win.
Ryan picked up the greatsword and began to charge.
For a while, the ice and snow basin fell into a strange silence, like a prelude to a storm.
But soon, this strange silence was broken.
The [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon, which completed the charging first, dragged the tail blade out of its mouth little by little, and every time it was pulled out, it rubbed out violent sparks.
The seemingly slow movement is actually an alternative scene formed by the extreme speed.
The flames are like blades, wrapped in unstable twisted mist, which makes Ryan's eyes shrink slightly.
He recognized this twisted mist as the strong explosive material that forced him to enter the "Feast Space" to avoid, which is the ash dust mentioned in the panel introduction.
This explosive damage can be attributed to the blast attribute, and the last time Ryan encountered an blast attribute attack was the [Crown] Shattering Dragon.
But compared with the [Taboo] Ashes Slashing Sword Dragon, the blast attribute attack of the [Crown] Shattering Dragon can only be said to be a small witch compared to a big witch.
Even with the blast attribute resistance, Ryan knew that it would be difficult for him to survive such a large explosion wearing only the crown protective gear.
But he didn't need to bear it hard.
Before the explosive tail blade was about to arrive, a layer of invisible ripples spread out with Ryan's body as the midpoint.
[Silent Realm]!
The slashing hot tail blade came into contact with the Silent Realm, and the strange flow of lazy spirit caused the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon's body to pause violently.
Although it quickly broke free from the "confinement" state, the power of the slashing hot tail blade was greatly reduced.
A blood spear shot out and hit the slashing hot tail blade in advance, detonating the slashing dust around it.
"Boom!"
The shock wave generated by the explosion swept in all directions, causing the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters to sink several centimeters.
The red tail blade penetrated the explosion dust and continued to slash at Ryan.
"Kill!"
Ryan's eyes were filled with blue light, and he completed the final full-powered greatsword and slashed it with all his strength.
All the power was poured into the greatsword, without the overflow of sword energy, with a greatsword against a "great sword".
"Dang——"
A buzzing sound suddenly sounded, and after being slashed by many weakening attacks, [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon was finally defeated by the greatsword in Ryan's hand, and flew away in the collision.
The recoil force hit, making Ryan's hands holding the sword extremely numb, but he did not retreat at all, but stepped forward, green light flowed, "Broken Wind" was performed, and the whole person came to the top of [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon's head.
Because of the failure of "mid-gate sniping", [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon fell into a state of "hard and straight".
And this is also the best opportunity to attack!
The greatsword is charged, and spirituality and power surge.
"Thump, thump, thump~thump-thump!"
"Three sections" to "splitting the god", all in one go, before [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon is about to recover, Ryan's greatsword slashes the wound on the head of [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon, and the power servant made this move with him.
Double slash, double damage.
The crystal mask made of red power could not resist at all and shattered into countless fragments.
The pure wind attribute sword skills burst out with more damage than the previous wind and fire mixture, causing the head of [Taboo] Cinder Slash Sword Dragon to be deeply broken, revealing the white skull underneath.
"Too hard!"
Ryan sighed in his heart.
As a three-star monster of the taboo, and two special individuals, the [Taboo] Cinder Slash Sword Dragon has reached a level of defense that even artifacts cannot break, which is simply out of the ordinary.
How to say it, the material of [Tyrannical Great Sword·Wolf Blood Oath] is still a bit low.
Although the [Cruel] Gluttonous Dinosaur is a different species, it is only at the crown level after all. Although it has been transformed and promoted to an artifact thanks to the demigod soul of the Wolf Knight, it is not a bit weaker than the [Taboo] Cinder Slash Sword Dragon, which is three-star, equivalent to the peak of demigod or even the limit of demigod.
"Next time, I'll try to find two souls and get the weapons and protective gear at once."
This thought flashed through Ryan's mind, and then, the blue light in his eyes blazed brightly.
The ferocious blue giant beast's shadow emerged from behind him and rushed towards the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon.
The exploding blue flames plowed the sunken frozen ground again.
The terrifyingly large amount of true damage based on the total amount of vitality made the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon roar in pain.
A large amount of Cinder-Destroying dust spread out, forming a chain of explosions, forcibly forcing Ryan back.
Hundreds of meters away, Ryan put down his left hand that was blocking his eyes and stared at the smoke and dust in front of him.
However, as the smoke and dust dissipated, there was no figure of the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon.
Where did it go?
Ryan was startled, and at this time, a fierce whistling sound came from mid-air.
He raised his head.
The huge [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon actually jumped to a height of hundreds of meters, and the scorching tail blade wrapped in the Cinder-Destroying dust suddenly smashed down.
Ryan immediately pulled away and retreated violently.
"Boom!"
The tip of the tail blade fell on the position where Ryan was just now, but it only penetrated the phantom, but the smash was only auxiliary, and the real attack was the explosion caused by this smash.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The chain explosions came one after another, and one after another hundreds of meters high lava pillars emerged from the frozen soil, ice and fire intertwined, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
"Cough cough..."
Hundreds of meters away, Ryan was in a mess. The range of this explosion was too wide. Even if he reacted immediately, he could not completely avoid the attack.
In the explosion dust, the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon slowly stood up.
At this moment, its momentum dropped a lot. Obviously, this attack also put a great burden on it, not to mention the large amount of damage Ryan had caused before.
And Ryan's situation was not good either.
All three wind breaks were used up, and the two "Blade Hearts" were also consumed. The continuous use of "Splitting God" consumed his physical strength and spirituality.
The wind and snow roared.
After a moment of silence, the man and the dragon began to walk towards each other.
The tail blade of the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon fell on the frozen ground behind it, and was dragged forward, leaving a red gap on the frozen ground.
The greatsword in Ryan's hand also dragged on the ground, leaving a blue flame trail.
Looking down from the sky, the red and blue lines gradually approached, dividing the entire battlefield into two parts.
When the distance between the two was only the last fifty meters.
"Kill!"
With a loud shout, Ryan rushed forward, and the Power Servant walked side by side with him.
"Roar——"
The ice and snow fell on the hot body of the [Taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon and were melted into countless rising steam.
The trailing red tail blade rose up and slashed forward.
"Ding——"
When the tail blade approached, a light bell rang in the air.
——The second sword skill of Tianqing Sword Art·Water Moon.
Ryan's body came to the back of [Taboo] Cinder Destroying Sword Dragon's head, and the greatsword in his hand slashed at the exposed white skull.
Aware of the danger, [Taboo] Cinder Destroying Sword Dragon once again burst out a large amount of Cinder Destroying Dust in its body.
In Ryan's eyes, a dark green light flashed, and the "Thread of Sloth" emerged, wrapping around the whole body of [Taboo] Cinder Destroying Sword Dragon, making it dizzy for a moment.
The stimulation of life and death made [Taboo] Cinder Destroying Sword Dragon regain consciousness quickly, but this moment of dizziness was enough for Ryan.
The greatsword with all the strength in his body stood on the exposed skull and smashed a deep mark.
At the same time, with a "puff", the [taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon's blazing red tail blade pierced Ryan, penetrating the blood barrier and the ordinary version of the "dominant blood membrane". At the last moment, Ryan, who could not use any displacement and defense skills, tried his best to avoid it, but the blazing red tail blade still wiped off the right half of his upper body.
"Bang!"
The body flew backwards under the huge force, and Ryan's consciousness became a little blurred under the invasion of severe pain.
With this serious injury, his combat effectiveness has been reduced to one tenth.
But, it's enough.
A faint smile appeared on Ryan's mouth, and he slowly clenched his remaining left hand into a fist in the direction of the [taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon.
"Good news, explode!"
The dark purple lines crawled all over the [taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon's body, and even the red light could not stop the spread of the dark purple.
[taboo] Cinder-Destroying Sword Dragon let out a weak roar of shock and anger, trying to struggle, but it was too late.
The shadow of the god of death emerged, and the sickle blade gently slashed past.
The fury in the eyes of [Taboo] Cinder Slash Sword Dragon gradually dissipated, and the huge body stood in the wind and snow, but it had completely lost its vitality.
"Bang!"
The body fell to the snow, but Ryan's eyes were full of joy.
—— Taboo three stars, [Taboo] Cinder Slash Sword Dragon, the crusade was successful!
