I Can Strengthen Infinitely
Chapter 315 - 222: Small Gains
Bam!
Even with Qin Yuesheng’s agility, he couldn’t react at all and instantly flew straight out, crashing into a rock wall a hundred feet away.
"Cough, cough, cough!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, accompanied by plenty of stomach fluid, as Qin Yuesheng looked at the approaching Purple Dragon in shock, utterly astonished.
The power of this Purple Dragon far exceeded the limits he could handle. Since stepping onto the martial path, this was the first time Qin Yuesheng encountered such an unbeatable foe. Let alone dealing with it, if he were hit a few more times by this Purple Dragon, his life would be at stake.
Fully emerged from the circular hole in the ground, the full appearance of the Purple Dragon was exposed before Qin Yuesheng’s eyes.
A massive body over ten zhang long, each scale as exquisite as a jade craftsman’s art.
Yet the only flaw was that this dragon had an oddity — it only had three dragon claws, looking inexplicably strange.
Qin Yuesheng couldn’t quite discern it, but if there were a folk craftsman specializing in dragon carving present, they would see this creature is not the legendary true dragon but a flood dragon.
"Ugh." Feeling waves of pain from his body and right arm, Qin Yuesheng estimated he had quite a few broken bones. To be beaten into such a state, this dragon was the first in his martial arts career.
Forcing himself out of the rock wall, Qin Yuesheng knew he was no match for this creature. To survive, he must hurry out of this mountain cavity, or else staying here meant certain death.
As Qin Yuesheng prepared to leap toward the bronze door, the Purple Flood Dragon moved.
Like teleportation on level ground, it appeared in front of Qin Yuesheng in the blink of an eye, raising a claw to swat at the tiny bug in its eyes.
"Damn it." Seeing the Purple Flood Dragon strike again, despite his injuries, Qin Yuesheng felt a nameless fury rise within him.
He had always been the one beating others, leaving them defenseless. Who would’ve thought today’s situation would be reversed, with him being powerless against a beast?
In rage, Qin Yuesheng didn’t dodge, but directly swung a blade, simultaneously activating Thousand-Handed Buddha Transformation and fully unleashing the Soul-Catching Arm, exploding with all his might.
Bam!
With Qin Yuesheng’s three strikes, the flood dragon claw was instantly blocked, held off by Qin Yuesheng’s Celestial Demon wicked blade and Soul-Catching Arm, unable to advance a single step further.
"Roar!" The Purple Flood Dragon, obviously not expecting the tiny bug that seemed so insignificant to block its attack, roared angrily and opened its mouth to spray a long column of purple fire at Qin Yuesheng.
Qin Yuesheng’s heart jumped. As a martial artist with a sense of danger, he immediately activated the Carefree Heavenly Travel Skill to evade to the side.
The purple fire instantly hit the rock wall behind Qin Yuesheng, effortlessly burning a large hole into it.
The originally hard rocks turned to mush before the purple fire, crumbling instantaneously.
Qin Yuesheng was grave-faced, not expecting that besides speed and strength, the Purple Flood Dragon had such a terrifying attack method.
If he were hit by that purple fire, his fate wouldn’t be any better.
Seeing Qin Yuesheng dodge its attack, the Purple Flood Dragon quickly turned and pursued. Qin Yuesheng quietly lamented.
Though powerful for escaping, the Carefree Heavenly Travel Skill’s speed of traversing over a thousand feet in one breath was too difficult for Qin Yuesheng to control, making it suitable for fleeing or pursuing in open spaces, but in this environment, it was easy to crash into rocks due to unresponsive action.
Stepping into the air, Qin Yuesheng touched the top of the mountain cavity. The Purple Flood Dragon aimed to pursue, but Qin Yuesheng took the opportunity to punch the rock ceiling, creating large cracks in the area, followed by inserting six arms into the rock, forcibly pulling out a huge boulder.
"Enjoy your meal!" Qin Yuesheng hurled the boulder at the Purple Flood Dragon with force. The wild dragon fearlessly rammed into it with its head, shattering the rock into several pieces instantly, but it filled the air with dust, greatly limiting visibility.
But for Qin Yuesheng, this was of no great consequence; he used the Carefree Heavenly Travel Skill to silently land atop the Purple Flood Dragon’s head and, before the dragon reacted, embraced one of its horns with the Soul-Catching Arm.
The horns for flood dragons are as sensitive as ears for humans, instantly causing the Purple Flood Dragon to furiously shake its head, trying to throw Qin Yuesheng off.
But the power of the Soul-Catching Arm was immense; the Purple Flood Dragon could not easily shake Qin Yuesheng off its head, leaving it to recklessly circle the mountain cavity while grinding against the rock walls, causing massive falling rocks to try to dislodge Qin Yuesheng.
Qin Yuesheng, in pain all over, holding onto the dragon horn fiercely, took up the Celestial Demon wicked blade and began grinding the horn.
Though sharp as it was, the Celestial Demon wicked blade couldn’t directly cut the horn off, only leaving a mark less than a finger deep, showing the horn’s toughness.
But the difficulty spurred Qin Yuesheng’s competitive spirit; relying on multiple arms to twist the horn while rapidly hacking at the same spot with the Celestial Demon wicked blade and Dragon-Slaying Sword.
