Chapter 399 Breaking the Ice
The greed in the black dragon's eyes was gradually replaced by caution, and it dared not underestimate the opponent in front of it, which was smaller than itself.
Its scales stood on end, gleaming with a chilling light in the dark water.
"Whoosh-"
The black dragon's eyes flashed with ferocity, its aura surged, and its attacks suddenly became fierce and ruthless.
A dragon and a jiao (a type of dragon) engaged in a fierce battle in the water, sometimes biting, sometimes scratching, and sometimes ramming each other with their heads. For a moment, the pool water was stirred up and surged, and the stone forest next to it also trembled slightly under the impact of the violent water flow.
The black dragon's thick tail suddenly wrapped around Long Chuqing's body. It then tightened its grip, and the force was so great that it made the dragon's body creak, as if it wanted to strangle her.
A painful dragon's roar echoed in the water, the sound waves creating ripples that spread outwards.
Despite the excruciating pain, Long Chuqing bit down hard on the black dragon's tail, while simultaneously tearing off its scales piece by piece with her claws.
"Om-"
The Phoenix Feather Sword slashed down fiercely from the top of the black dragon's head, its blade aimed straight for the dragon's skull. Although this strike could not injure its flesh, it still made its head tremble slightly.
A flicker of disbelief crossed the black dragon's scarlet vertical pupils.
Even though the blow made my head a little dizzy, it was nothing compared to the excruciating pain of having scales plucked from my tail.
Damn!
After all these battles, how many scales has that damned dragon already plucked from it?
When has it ever been so disheveled?
The black dragon suddenly swung its long tail, slamming Long Chuqing hard into the stone forest beside it.
"Bang bang bang!"
Long Chuqing's body crashed heavily onto the stone forest, shattering the stone pillars one by one, which then fell to the bottom of the pool.
Taking advantage of the situation, the black dragon opened its mouth wide and spewed a cloud of black mist at Long Chuqing. Wherever the mist reached, the pool water began to condense into fine ice crystals, resembling sharp hidden weapons.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
With a swirl of its long tail, the poisonous ice crystals suspended in the water flew towards Long Chuqing like hidden weapons.
Ignoring the pain in his body, Long Chuqing first broke a nearby stone pillar and smashed it in the direction from which the poison crystals were coming. Then he used his dragon tail to stir up the surrounding water, using the water flow to change the trajectory of the poison crystals and slow them down.
She nimbly tumbled and dodged in the water, but there were just too many poison crystals. While trying to dodge, her tail was unfortunately pierced by a poison crystal, and a numbing sensation immediately followed.
She opened her dragon mouth and spewed a dragon breath towards the black dragon. Unfortunately, the dragon breath was too weak, and with her current strength, she could only barely form a thin ice wall in front of her.
She dared not delay; with a sweep of her dragon tail, she swam desperately toward the surface.
Upon seeing this, a hint of contempt and mockery flashed in the black dragon's eyes.
"Dragon race, is that all?"
They're just playing tricks on it!
It suddenly exerted its strength, smashing the ice wall to pieces, and then sprayed another mouthful of poisonous ice crystals at her.
Long Chuqing suddenly turned around, quickly swam upstream to avoid it, and at the same time accelerated towards the ice surface.
But at that moment, the ice crystal toxin began to spread in her body. At first, only her tail was numb, but now her hind limbs were slowly losing sensation, and even her swimming speed became sluggish.
Long Chuqing sensed something was wrong.
The black dragon was still hot on their heels.
Upon seeing this, Fei Feng immediately infiltrated her body, using her healing spiritual power to help her resolve the toxins.
Phoenix Feather transformed into a golden sword aura, blocking the black dragon and stopping it.
The paralyzing toxin that Fei Feng had injected into the black dragon's body had begun to take effect, and the black dragon's movements had noticeably slowed down.
Fortunately, Long Chuqing had not been exposed to too much poison, and with Fei Feng's help, the numbness in her body gradually subsided.
She didn't linger any longer and swam faster toward the ice. The light grew brighter and brighter, and she got closer and closer to the ice.
Given her current condition, she cannot directly break through the three-foot-thick layer of ice; she still needs to find the entrance she came from.
Even if it refreezes, it won't be too thick.
Long Chuqing quickly determined the direction she came from, and glanced back at Feng Yu, who was still fighting with the black dragon.
A thought flashed through her mind: "Feng Yu, come back."
The Phoenix Feather Sword was immediately thrown down from the black dragon and flew towards Long Chuqing like lightning.
"boom--"
The ice layer was smashed open by Long Chuqing, and the dragon's body flew out from the bottom of the pool, while the Phoenix Feather Sword broke through the water at the same time.
The black dragon roared and followed closely behind, its massive body carrying the force of thunder as it slammed into the three-foot-thick layer of ice.
With a loud "bang," the ice layer shattered instantly, as if struck by lightning!
"Click, click, click-click-click—"
In an instant, countless huge chunks of ice exploded, flying in all directions and reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.
"Crash-"
Amidst the splashing water, a long roar erupted as the black dragon's ferocious, massive head, exuding a chilling aura, burst through the ice.
The roar of ice breaking apart and the splashing of water cascading down the surface blended together, sounding like a small earthquake erupting in the water.
"Wow, that's some nerve! It actually managed to break through such a thick layer of ice."
Phoenix Feather hovered in mid-air, looking at the scene before her, and couldn't help but sigh.
"If you had bumped into it like that, your head would probably be split open." This was what Fei Feng said to Long Chu Qing.
Long Chuqing looked back and couldn't help but sigh, "Ignoring the dangers that are about to be faced, the scene of breaking the ice is quite spectacular."
Her gaze remained warily fixed on the black dragon.
Despite the sighs, the dangerous situation remains unchanged.
The black dragon struck like lightning, its roar and howl echoing across the sky above the Heavenly Pool.
The dragon and the jiao engaged in a fierce battle on the ice once again. During their fight, the ice layer cracked inch by inch, shards of ice flew everywhere, and the snow was also churned and collapsed by the strong wind.
"Boom bang bang-"
In the midst of the fierce exchange of offense and defense, Long Chuqing was sent flying into the air by a tail whip from the black dragon, before crashing heavily onto the ice rock wall. Shattered ice poured down like a torrential rain, and snow fell in a flurry. In the blink of an eye, her silver-white dragon body was covered with a layer of snow.
Before she could shake off the snow, the black dragon seized the opportunity to swirl up the broken ice on the ground and hurled it all at Long Chuqing.
Even more deadly, the black dragon opened its bloody maw wide and sprayed out several high-pressure water bullets in succession, each of which was mixed with blackish-purple toxins.
In an instant, massive blocks of ice and poisonous water bombs rained down on Long Chuqing, delivering a deadly attack.
“Qingqing”.
Phoenix Feather and Flying Phoenix simultaneously transformed into streaks of light and swept back to Long Chuqing's side.
A clear and melodious phoenix cry rang out in the Heavenly Pool, and a golden phoenix phantom shimmering with light appeared. A pair of wings unfolded behind Long Chuqing, enveloping her and forming an indestructible barrier.
"Bang bang bang bang-"
Ice blocks and poison water bombs struck the wings one after another, but were all blocked.
With each impact, the halo on the golden wings rippled outwards like layers of waves.
This attack was no less than a small explosion; the shockwave spread outwards from Long Chuqing, causing huge waves to rise on the surrounding water.
Once the attack subsided, Long Chuqing unfolded her wings and transformed back into human form. She ran her fingertip across the corner of her mouth and gently wiped away the blood that had seeped out.
She raised her head, her eyes blazing as she looked across at the other side.
