Chapter 650: Big Brother Shaoyun Is Amazing
Xiang Shaoyun showed no mercy when attacking. With the Overlord Skyslaying Saber in hand, he flooded the saber with lightning power and slashed, blasting the sin dragon with a massive quantity of silver lightning bolts.
Lightning Slash From the Clear Sky!
Thunderclaps rumbled on and on while the wind in the area grew berserk. His attack was truly terrifying. Its might caused Shang Jifeng to feel suffocated. He thought, Indeed, he's worthy of being the overlord. Even when cultivating nine powers, he is still able to fully use the might of all nine stars. How admirable.
He wasn't confident he could even survive the attack head on. He specialized in speed, and his offensive prowess was incomparable to Xiang Shaoyun's lightning attack.
Xiang Shaoyun was already a peak first-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. After his gains during his time at the Purple Lightning Pool, his lightning attacks had grown even more powerful.
A rain of lightning bombarded the sin dragon. With his shiny scales, he blocked all the lightning bolts, but he was still tortured by extreme pain. He roared madly, calling forth a massive amount of mud that converged around him and collided with the lightning bolts, lowering their effectiveness.
Living up to the reputation of the sin dragons, he withstood Xiang Shaoyun's calamitous attack. In fact, he was even able to charge through the rain of lightning and claw at Xiang Shaoyun.
With a look of full confidence on his face, Xiang Shaoyun waved his Overlord Skyslaying Saber again, sending out a purple dragon. The dragon's appearance seemed to change even the weather, bolstering the might of the lightning bolts that were raining down from the sky.
His immediate surroundings turned into a sea of lightning. Even as the sin dragon suffered immense pain from the lightning rain, Xiang Shaoyun attacked with saber intent, slashing through the sin dragon's scales.
The attack drove the sin dragon mad, and the dragon roared, "Damnable human! I will bury you here!"
With a roar, he unleashed a massive amount of sin vicious energy from his body—a type of energy unique to sin dragons. The energy was terrifying, and anyone who touched it would immediately rot away and die. The sin vicious energy spread everywhere, forcing Shang Jifeng and Lady Shura to retreat even farther away.
Shang Jifeng shouted a reminder, "Young Master Xiang, watch out for the sin vicious energy! Don't get in contact with it!"
The reminder seemed to have fallen into deaf ears, as Xiang Shaoyun shrouded himself with lightning energy, making him look like a god of lightning immune to all poison. Before the sin vicious energy could even approach him, the silver lightning power destroyed it. Xiang Shaoyun was completely unharmed.
Sin Dragon's Somersault!
When the sin dragon saw that his sin vicious energy was ineffective, he was forced to use his trump card. He somersaulted, sending wave after wave of black energy toward Xiang Shaoyun. The waves of energy displayed a shocking power, destroying a large majority of Xiang Shaoyun's lightning energy.
Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow and immediately pushed his defenses to the maximum. It was at that moment that the waves jolted him away and rotted all his defenses.
Fortunately, he had been able to erect his defenses in time. If the black energy had come in contact with his body, he would have likely suffered greatly. Of course, the sin dragon would not stop at that. He continued attacking, sending waves of black energy that blasted at Xiang Shaoyun like a tornado.
"Trying to kill me with just this? Dream on!" Xiang Shaoyun flickered around without stop, and after finally avoiding the incoming attack, he counterattacked.
In his fury, his killing intent surged as boundless lightning energy converged around him. His saber slashes flew everywhere. He swung his saber again and again, sending out numerous saber intents and summoning a massive amount of lightning energy. Both were capable of destroying everything in their paths.
Rumble! Rumble!
The entire marsh seemed to have been turned upside down by the bombardment of attacks. The sight of the mighty Xiang Shaoyun filled the entirety of Shang Yafang's heart. Growing up, the person she worshiped most was her elder brother. In her memories, her elder brother was the genius of geniuses that nobody could compare with.
But now, it seemed like her elder brother was incomparable to Xiang Shaoyun. It was no wonder her elder brother respected Xiang Shaoyun so much. With the saber energies and lightning bolts flooding the sin vicious energy out of the marsh, the battle's result was already obvious.
When everything settled, Xiang Shaoyun could be seen hovering in the air. He was completely unharmed, while the sin dragon was filled with wounds. The sin dragon's head was nowhere to be seen, and his corpse was in the midst of falling from the sky.
Xiang Shaoyun waved his hands around as he started controlling the sin dragon's fall. At this time, Shang Jifeng, Lady Shura, and the others approached him.
"Young Master Xiang, truly amazing. You killed the sin dragon with only a few attacks," praised Shang Jifeng.
Shang Yafang also flew over, her eyes glistening as she said, "Big Brother Shaoyun is so amazing and strong!"
Xiang Shaoyun smiled. "Jifeng, you are strong enough to do the same as well. You should really stop hiding your strength."
"No, if I fought that dragon, I would only have 50-percent confidence in winning. I won't be able to win as easy as you did," said Shang Jifeng honestly.
"Alright. I'll be keeping this corpse on me for now. When we find more sin dragons, you guys can attack. I will keep watch," said Xiang Shaoyun as he stowed the sin dragon corpse.
Once again, the group set off. In the coming three days, they weren't as lucky. Instead of finding sin dragons, they ended up being chased by some poisonous beasts. They looked rather sorry, constantly escaping from the beasts.
Shang Yafang was able to see how terrifying the beasts could be, and her horizons expanded. At the same time, she also started tempering herself by personally fighting when they encountered Demon Kings. She was doing her best to increase her strength.
Shang Jifeng was gratified to see this change in his sister's behavior. After all, Shang Yafang had grown up sheltered. She had never witnessed much cruelty, and if that continued, it wouldn't be beneficial for her growth.
After a few more days, they finally found two sin dragons who were respectively killed by Shang Jifeng and Lady Shura. After killing three sin dragons, their mission was complete.
By now, they should return. Shang Yafang couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Big brother, I heard that there's a Sin Dragon Pond in the Nisha Range. There, you can find sin dragon vines, a type of sovereign-grade herb. There is also a concentration of sin dragon energy there. It helps hasten the formation of your draconic aura. Why don't we go take a look there?"
"There's such a place?" Xiang Shaoyun was astonished.
Shang Jifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, but that place is important to the sin dragons and is guarded by Sovereign sin dragons. If we go, it's no different from suicide."
