Eternal Saber-Chapter 269 - 53: Disemboweled

Whoosh!

A vicious wind attacked.

The juvenile Flood Dragon took advantage of Chen Tang’s injury, swinging its tail again and smashed towards Chen Tang’s direction!

Chen Tang rolled and dodged the juvenile Flood Dragon’s attack, his expression grave.

What truly shocked him was, just now, his blade clearly struck the juvenile Flood Dragon’s body.

Yet it felt as if he struck a rock, the blade scraping across the scales, leaving only a white mark on the back of the juvenile Flood Dragon.

Such strong defense!

Even with the sharpness of the ’Eternal’, he couldn’t break through this beast’s scales!

Of course, it’s also because Chen Tang’s own strength was insufficient.

If his cultivation were two levels higher, with one strike, he could cut this juvenile Flood Dragon in two!

Chen Tang maneuvered through the pile of bones, dodging while observing the juvenile Flood Dragon’s weaknesses.

If this juvenile Flood Dragon’s entire body was truly this incomparably hard, then he could only turn and escape.

Actually, the scales on a section of the juvenile Flood Dragon’s back were the largest, having already matured, appearing dark green and seemingly indestructible.

Meanwhile, on the juvenile Flood Dragon’s neck, the scales were relatively small and dense, also one of the juvenile Flood Dragon’s weak points.

Of course, the juvenile Flood Dragon’s head was scaleless, and could be injured by ’Eternal’.

That earlier slice, although stopped by the juvenile Flood Dragon’s skull, still caused it significant damage, with blood streaming!

Chen Tang swallowed an elixir pill, not daring to attack rashly, continuing to entangle with the juvenile Flood Dragon in this cave.

He had to wait for the right moment!

If he could not severely wound this beast, and it attacked him again, his body would not withstand it.

This cave was merely the resting place of the juvenile Flood Dragon.

Although spacious, it was difficult for the juvenile Flood Dragon, with its thirty-foot-long body, to move freely.

In addition, this juvenile Flood Dragon had just gorged itself, having eaten who knows how many humans, making its entire belly round and oversized, contrasting greatly with its head and tail, looking very disproportionate.

In a chase and pursuit, the juvenile Flood Dragon could not harm Chen Tang at all, growing more and more irritable! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The wound on its head continued bleeding.

At this moment, blood dripped into its eye, blurring its vision.

Chen Tang’s eyes lit up.

Opportunity!

He sprang forward, getting behind the juvenile Flood Dragon, and slashed fiercely at its neck!

Puchi!

A cut drew blood!

This slash, though it couldn’t cut off the juvenile Flood Dragon’s head, still severely injured it!

’Eternal’s blade sliced through the juvenile Flood Dragon’s neck’s fine scales, the blade embedding more than halfway!

"Hiss hiss!"

The juvenile Flood Dragon cried out in pain, immediately abandoning Chen Tang, fleeing towards the cave’s exit.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Chen Tang shouted in rage, now seeing red, lifted his blade and chased, vowing to slay the beast here!

In a flash, the juvenile Flood Dragon escaped the cave.

Seeing the vast waters ahead, it hesitated, not daring to enter.

Bleeding all over, severely injured, entering the waters would attract countless fierce beasts with its intense bloody scent!

The juvenile Flood Dragon looked up, heading towards the steep cliff, climbing up with remarkable agility.

The yet fully developed claws beneath its belly played a crucial role at this moment!

Each strike allowed its claws to dig deep into the stone wall, rapidly climbing towards the mountain top.

Chen Tang followed, showcasing his own Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill, chasing after the juvenile Flood Dragon.

If he couldn’t kill it today, letting it escape would make it difficult to ever kill again.

The juvenile Flood Dragon’s rotund belly eventually slowed its pace.

Nearing the summit, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its chest!

At some point, Chen Tang had caught up, stabbing a blade into the juvenile Flood Dragon’s lower abdomen!

The hunting experiences in the Three Thousand Snow Ridges provided Chen Tang with precious insights.

Many beasts have hard backs, but their bellies are exceedingly soft, rarely shown.

The belly is the weakness of these beasts!

During the fight, Chen Tang noticed the juvenile Flood Dragon constantly twisting its body, swinging its head and tail, with aggressive attacks.

But in every attack, its belly never got exposed, well concealed.

Unfortunately, Chen Tang hadn’t had the chance to strike.

But now, in its panicked escape, climbing up the rock face, it presented Chen Tang with a once-in-a-lifetime chance!

Chen Tang pursued through the gaps between its claws, driving a blade into the juvenile Flood Dragon’s chest!

Puchi!

The foul-smelling blood splattered all over Chen Tang’s face.

The juvenile Flood Dragon writhed in agony, climbing further upwards.

Chen Tang gripped the blade with both hands, the blade facing downwards.

The two clashing forces enlarged the wound on the juvenile Flood Dragon’s chest, extending to the bottom of its abdomen, finally stopping!

"Hiss hiss!"

The juvenile Flood Dragon had reached the mountain top, yet it was gutted open, issuing mournful cries, thrashing its body violently, in relentless pain, becoming uncontrollably aggressive!

Rumble!

The juvenile Flood Dragon’s tail swept across, breaking ancient trees with a crash, stirring up clouds of dust.

The blood mixed with the earth, emanating a heavy, foul odor!

Chen Tang had long dodged away.

This juvenile Flood Dragon was fatally wounded, evidently doomed.

Yet I must not be harmed by its dying frenzy.

At this moment, Chen Tang noticed at the foot of this cliff, stood many villagers, staring wide-eyed, watching this scene in utter shock.

These villagers held various sacrificial offerings such as cattle and sheep, along with incense, evidently intending to pay homage to the Flood Dragon of this great lake.

Unexpectedly, these villagers witnessed Chen Tang’s act of dragon slaying!

This delivered a tremendous blow to their psyche!

Flood Dragons, in their hearts, were akin to deities, how could they be harmed.

Yet before their eyes, this Flood Dragon was gutted by a mere young man!

The more terrifying revelation was yet to come!

With its belly torn open, the juvenile Flood Dragon rolled over, dropping bloody chunks of flesh.

Upon a glance, there were dozens of them!

Some of these bloody chunks were so eroded that their original forms were unrecognizable, but they could still be discerned as human corpses!

Some appeared to have been swallowed just recently, retaining recognizable faces.

Among these corpses, Chen Tang recognized some familiar faces.

They were villagers from Longyin Village.

Some were even just children.

This village, which worshipped the Flood Dragon as a deity, ultimately met their end in this juvenile Flood Dragon’s stomach, its people serving as the beast’s sustenance.

Chen Tang sighed inwardly.

Back then, he had disclosed the truth about the Flood Dragon, but few from Longyin Village believed him.

Aside from Hong Qinhu, only a handful chose to leave Longyin Village.

It was because of this that these few escaped disaster.

Those villagers beneath the cliff turned pale at the sight, some falling to their knees, others bending over, retching heavily.

The scene of the juvenile Flood Dragon consuming humans shocked them even more than Chen Tang’s dragon slaying!
