Chapter 614: Chapter 488: I’m Still a Dragon Knight After All

Long Yi, who stood two meters high, was battling against the three-meter tall Yake. Nevertheless, Long Yi maintained some advantage due to his agility. Fully committing himself, Long Yi launched punch after punch resembling a human battering ram, filling the field with thunderous booms. Despite Yake being covered in dense bone armour, it had difficulty holding up against Long Yi’s relentless onslaught. Before long, a series of cracks appeared on the dragon head on Yake’s chest, hammered by Long Yi!

Bang!

Finally, Yake risked another hit to his chest and managed to punch Long Yi square in the ribs. The lighter Long Yi was sent flying into the air, but flipped around and landed firmly on the ground.

At this moment, both Yake and Long Yi were huffing for breath. This energy-free, purely physical dueling mode was incredibly exhaustive, especially when both opponents were all-out attacking. Even the monstrous Yake and giant Long Yi could not maintain it for long.

"Hey, monster, you’re near breaking point. If you don’t use your fighting aura soon, you’ll be smashed into mush," chuckled Long Yi.

Yake panted heavily, he was ill-suited for a contest of strength due to his massive body. Besides, ever since he transformed, Yake has never been skilled at hand-to-hand combat.

Yake’s powerful regenerative ability started to mend his body’s fractures while Long Yi grinded his teeth and rubbed his chest. That punch hurt like hell, thankfully he was in mid-air when he was sent flying, mitigating a lot of damage.

No, it couldn’t keep going like this.

Yake knew, whether in terms of brute strength, endurance or fighting skills, he was no match for Long Yi. According to Long Yi’s record that covered every aspect of him, he, as peculiar as he was, possessed explosive power and endurance far beyond Yake’s. Yake had just experienced it himself, his strongest features still being his surging Dragon Power and death-like power generated by his monstrous body.

Boom!

As Dragon Power exploded, the air was stirred into a gusty wind around Yake. The death-like power flowed out of Yake’s body, its mournful sounds unsettling.

"Tell me, do these wailing fellas keep you company all the time? Can you even sleep at night?" Long Yi asked curiously.

"Once your soul joins them, I will sleep soundly!" hollered Yake, charging at Long Yi.

"You’re asking for trouble!" Long Yi snorted, his fighting aura flaring up as he rushed towards Yake.

Though Long Yi’s fighting aura level was slightly lower than Yake’s, his attack was entirely unimpeded by the gap in level, thanks to the gifted abilities that his Giant Armament provided. Moreover, with every strike, he was able to shatter part of his opponent’s strength!

As the two tangled, Yake noticed something was off right at the start. His protective fighting aura was barely effective. Long Yi’s attacks landed harsh blows to him. Moreover, as Long Yi’s fists landed, Yake shockingly discovered that his fighting aura level was declining at an extremely slow pace!

Damn it, what’s going on?

"Roar!" Yake roared, his non-human voice resounding through the field. He pulled out a massive Dragon-slaying Sword from his personal space and aimed it at Long Yi. At the same time, Long Yi spun around, holding the Crystal Greatsword with both hands.

Clang!

The two swords collided and rebounded from each other.

Yake retreated, channeling his raging fighting aura into the Greatsword in his hand, while the Crystal Greatsword in Long Yi’s hand shone even brighter!

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, huge sword auroras burst forth from the tips of the two Greatswords. Immediately after, the two started the battle once more!

The fighting aura boomed, and lights flickered. The unprecedented scale of the fight made everyone’s hearts pound. Each person silently asked themselves if they could withstand a single stroke from them if they were up there?

Among the camp of the White Dragon Empire, several girls were intensely focusing on the stage. Their eyes were only on Long Yi; his safety was their prime concern.

Assuming he could, at least, suppress Long Yi by leveraging his advantage in fighting aura, even if he couldn’t defeat him outright, Yake was taken by surprise. Not only had he failed to suppress Long Yi, but that damn Long Yi was also becoming stronger as the battle progressed!

In the blink of an eye, he was the one being suppressed!

Clang!

Boom!

The Greatswords, each radiating sword aurora, clashed together. Yake detonated his sword aurora. The explosion also triggered the sword aurora on Long Yi’s Crystal Greatsword, and the two were pushed apart by the explosion’s force.

"Now that we’re warmed up, maybe you could show me your true skills?" Long Yi asked with a smile.

Yake originally wanted to transform straight away, but Long Yi’s comment only aggravated his ferocity.

"Bring it on!"

He roared and charged again.

"Here we go again?" But Long Yi just laughed.

"I’m a Dragon Rider, why the hell would I care?!"

Roar!

A terrifying roar shook the heavens and the earth as Bajie leaped into the air, unleashing a downpour of molten iron.

If this was just regular molten iron, Yake would barely care as it wouldn’t burn as fast as he could heal. But this was not regular molten iron, it was Bajie’s Dragon Breath! The iron that contained the corrosive power of the Black Dragon could corrode Yake’s defense!

Yake formed a massive shield out of Dragon Power to protect himself as the molten iron rained down on him thoroughly.

In mid-air, Bajie spun around, and with a deafening thud, its huge tail flung Yake, who was under the giant shield, away.

The sheer force of this blow was terrifying. Yake felt like his entire arm had shattered!

However, this was not the end. At the same time, Long Yi flung his crystal greatsword into the air. The greatsword transformed into Lingling’s form and stood on Bajie’s back. Thirteen avatars of the female demon had already surrounded Yake. They opened their mouths simultaneously, emitting piercing screams. Yake only felt waves of his divine soul stirring, and at this moment, one of Lingling’s arms had already morphed into a giant light cannon!

Boom! The cannon spewed out brilliant light rays. Yake had no time to react before he got hit squarely by the light cannon. Shrieking, he crashed headlong into the light shield of the arena! This light shield, which had been reinforced several times, was once again blasted with several cracks! And behind the cracks were the terrified Blue Dragon Empire competitors, screaming as they prepared to run for their lives.

After a seamless sequence of attacks, Little Zi soared into the sky, and the avatars returned one after another. Lingling stood silently on Bajie’s back, staring intently at the scene below but made no move to pursue further.

"Hey! Are you still alive?" Long Yi shouted from a distance, but Yake did not respond.

"Hey, if you’re dead, say something. That way, I win!" Long Yi yelled again. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

At this moment, Yake, who was on the ground, finally moved a bit.

It wasn’t that Yake didn’t want to move, but that he had been blinded by unprecedented rage!

"You want to see my power, don’t you? Come on! I’ll grant your wish! The price, however, is your life!"

Terrifying fighting aura exploded forth, entwined with the black aura of death, and Yake was enveloped in a black cocoon. Lingling fired a shot with her hand, but all the energy was ground into nothingness by the intertwined fighting aura.

"No worries, let it be. Let’s see what he can morph into this time!" Long Yi said with a smirk.

The black cocoon grew larger, and the energy contained within became increasingly astonishing.

Staring at the gigantic cocoon, Ai Lin murmured softly.

"Eleven dragon marks! Twelve! Thirteen! Fourteen! Fifteen! A full fifteen dragon marks!"

In the fight against Ai Lin and her team yesterday, Yake had already broken his limits and reached thirteen dragon marks. But today, in order to fight Long Yi, he had astonishingly reached fifteen dragon marks!

Boom!

The black cocoon burst open, and what emerged gave Long Yi a start.

It was a black dragon, a complete black dragon. It looked almost identical to a real, living black dragon, no! It was even larger and more daunting than a real black dragon. Astonishingly, Yake had also resumed his human form, not just the upper half of his body. Where the dragon saddle should be, the upper half of Yake’s body was connected to the dragon’s back. Yake was cloaked in black bone armor, his face pale, and his eyes exuding the aura of death!

"Not bad. Your form is similar to when I reduced you to pieces. Time has passed by so long, and you remember this form. It really brings back memories!" Long Yi teased mercilessly.

"Yes, indeed. I’ve never forgotten this day. I’ve been waiting, waiting to slice you into pieces in this form!" Yake sneered coldly, his voice seemingly derived from the depths of hell.

"Fifteen dragon marks? You could only sustain for fifteen minutes in this world with thirteen dragon marks yesterday. How long can you last today with fifteen dragon marks?" Long Yi asked with a smile.

"Ten minutes," Yake responded.

"A mere ten minutes? Why don’t you hurry up and make your move? Be careful not to run out of time, or else be prepared to get beaten up by me."

"To deal with you, one minute is more than enough."

"Hey, even if boasting is free, you can’t exaggerate like this, right? And besides, I still have backup," Long Yi said with a smirk.

"Backup?" Yake let out a laugh, "I have it too!"

A massive howl came from the black dragon’s belly. Something ascended slowly along its abdomen and then was forcefully spat out!

It was a blob of black substance, similar to gelatin, surrounded by the aura of death and howls of lament!

Boom!

The black substance exploded, turning into spectres that filled the sky ready for self-destruction!

As soon as the self-destructive spectres appeared, they immediately rushed towards Little Zi, forcing her to release all the thirteen avatars for defence. Being energy entities themselves, the spectres could severely injure Little Zi, who was at the pinnacle of her ultimate evolution but still dared not be careless.

Meanwhile, Yake waved his hand gently; a giant array emerged in the sky. And then, an incredibly gigantic corpse dragon plunged down from the sky!

This corpse dragon was sixty meters long, slightly smaller than Bajie, but its hollow eyes, burning with ghostly flames coupled with the hellish aura that oozed from its entire body, made it even more sinister and terrifying!

This corpse dragon, although a creature of hell, was summoned according to the Servant Contract, which did not count as a foul.

Upon seeing the corpse dragon, Bajie roared and sprayed molten iron all over the sky. In response, the corpse dragon let out a piercing wail, spewing out a flood of blood. The molten iron interacting with the blood immediately gave rise to large amounts of steam. The putrid smell of blood coupled with the unique musty stench of hell quickly spread throughout!

"Look, your backup is gone. And I now have a slight advantage over you," Yake said calmly. Despite the ticking clock on his transformation, he appeared less anxious than before. Because this third form was the strongest he could control by himself. Even if Long Yi had the strength of the ten pinnacle dragon marks, Yake now had fifty percent more strength than him!

"A slight advantage, huh..." Long Yi scratched his head, looking at the enormous black dragon before him.

"Actually, you should remember, I still have one more dragon left." (To be continued. If you like this novel, please vote and throw your monthly tickets at Qidian.com. Your support motivates me the most. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
