Chapter 773: Wang Yue Takes Action
September 25, 2017
Just when everyone thought that Lu Hailing had the upper hand and was about to defeat the dragon, something unexpected happened.
The dragon, a formidable boss with over a hundred points in Strength, had endured countless attacks, and now it was time for it to fight back.
After being stabbed hundreds of times, the dragon unleashed its true power, revealing a secret technique it had been keeping in reserve.
Suddenly, a blue glow emanated from the dragon's body, surprising everyone.
"Is it trying to use a spell to escape?" Lu Hailing's eyes narrowed, realizing the dragon was attempting to break free from the trap. But how naive was it to think it could escape now? Lu Hailing was well-prepared, and he wasn't about to let the dragon get away.
Lu Hailing's eyes flashed with determination, and the Forbidden Tablet, his secret weapon, activated.
The Forbidden Tablet was specifically designed to counter the dragon's spells, rendering all enemy spells, artifacts, and martial general abilities useless. It was the perfect countermeasure for this situation.
However, to Lu Hailing's surprise, the dragon seemed unaffected by the Forbidden Tablet.
Although the tablet was activated, the blue glow on the dragon's body only dimmed slightly and continued to shine.
"Attack! Interrupt its spell!" Lu Hailing realized the tablet wasn't working, and his eyes lit up with determination. He was ready to find the dragon's weak point and disrupt its spell.
But it wasn't going to be that easy. The dragon's current move was far more sophisticated than its previous ones, and before Lu Hailing could identify its weakness, the dragon transformed into a blue water-like mass and disappeared from their sight.
"Damn it! It got away!" Lu Hailing was frustrated, fearing that the dragon might retreat into the Frosty Pool, making it much harder to capture.
However, his concern was unnecessary. The dragon, in its rage, had forgotten the hatred it had stirred up during the previous encounters.
The young dragon, humiliated by almost being captured by a group of bipedal beasts, couldn't bear the insult. It had to retaliate.
In its fury, the dragon didn't retreat into the Frosty Pool but hovered above it, its eyes filled with anger as it glared at the forest where Lu Hailing and his men were hiding.
"ROAR!"
A thunderous roar echoed, louder than the previous ones, reaching even the wandering practitioners eight kilometers away.
After the dragon's roar, a rhythmic sound emerged from the Frosty Pool.
Lu Hailing, who had just focused his energy on his eyes, saw a massive concentration of energy gathering at the pool, and his face paled.
"Not good! It's about to use its ultimate move!"
Lu Hailing, along with Dian Wei and the hidden soldiers in the forest, charged out and witnessed an astonishing sight. Above the Frosty Pool, five enormous water serpents with aqua-blue auras surrounded the dragon.
As Lu Hailing and his men emerged from the forest, the five water serpents, summoned by the dragon's command, pounced towards them, full of life and ferocity.
At that moment, Lu Hailing's Heavenly Eye Technique activated, and his gaze seemed to absorb all the radiance in the world. He immediately initiated the Celestial Eye Detection.
Lu Hailing's goal was to find the water serpents' weaknesses and shatter them.
However, the Celestial Eye Detection revealed no flaws in the water serpents but instead showed their terrifying energy.
"Retreat! Now!"
Seeing the clusters of terrifying and volatile energy, Lu Hailing didn't hesitate. He ordered his troops to fall back.
This was the first time Lu Hailing had to retreat involuntarily, as the dragon's move was simply too overwhelming.
According to the information from the Heavenly Eye Technique, each water serpent contained immense and highly unstable energy. The slightest collision could cause them to explode.
Faced with such terrifying energy, Lu Hailing couldn't guarantee the safety of his men against the impact of the water serpents.
So, the wandering practitioners on the opposite mountain ridge witnessed a satisfying scene.
Lu Hailing, who had been controlling the rhythm until now, finally showed his vulnerable side. Several martial generals were leaping and dodging amidst the pursuing water serpents.
As Lu Hailing's desperate situation caught the attention of many spectators, their faces filled with laughter, some even considering taking advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.
Unbeknownst to them, the ten colossal ballistae, having reloaded, unleashed a simultaneous barrage, their arrows converging into a single, thunderous blast, radiating unparalleled terror and extreme speed, aimed directly at the hydra's head.
The onlookers' expressions changed dramatically upon witnessing this scene, having forgotten about Lu Hailing's hidden trump card.
"It's over! That hydra is as good as dead!" they exclaimed in unison.
Just as this consensus formed, the hydra's eyes flashed with blue light, followed by a thunderous roar.
In an instant, it spat out an ice-blue inner pill, which instantly deflected the ten arrows, saving the hydra from certain doom.
Among the onlookers on the opposite hill, many heaved a sigh of relief, but some had different priorities.
Their eyes locked onto the inner pill as soon as it appeared, greed and madness flashing in their eyes.
Rumors circulated among the practitioners about the inner pills of beasts with martial strength over 100, said to not only break through martial arts barriers but also enhance talents.
Thus, many with martial strength around 90, upon seeing the inner pill, couldn't help but reveal their greed and madness.
They desperately hoped for a stalemate between Lu Hailing and the hydra, creating an opportunity to fish in troubled waters and claim the pill.
However, Lu Hailing, determined to defeat the hydra, unleashed all his tricks, making it impossible for the onlookers' delusions to come true.
Just as the hydra spat out the pill, a figure emerged with lightning speed so swift it covered a hundred meters in an instant, reaching the hydra's side.
With a swift sword strike, a sharp sword aura pierced the hydra, creating an ice-blue gaping wound.
As the hydra roared, the figure quickly retrieved a bottle of medicine, pouring it into the wound before the hydra could react.
The hydra's roar weakened as the pill took effect, its once-fierce demeanor turning lethargic.
Simultaneously, the five water serpents, uncontrolled, exploded, sending a beautiful yet terrifying ice-blue surge into the sky, annihilating the surrounding trees within a mile.
A powerful gust of wind, seemingly from nowhere, swept through the area, uprooting trees and tossing over a thousand onlookers in its path.
Most suffered only minor external injuries, but the incident left a deep impression of the hydra's formidable power.
Many broke into a cold sweat, realizing they had been playing with fire, grateful to have escaped unscathed, and their resentment towards Lu Hailing's domineering actions diminished.
Lu Hailing's group, though at the epicenter of the explosion, with strengths exceeding 90, endured the aftermath with minimal injuries.
However, Lu Hailing had no time to dwell on the losses to his army and ballistae.
After the water serpent explosion, Lu Hailing's group braced through the aftermath and charged towards the hydra.
Although Wang Yue's attack and the Intoxicated Life and Death Pill had taken effect, Lu Hailing couldn't guarantee the small pill's potency, so he aimed to finish off the hydra swiftly.
Upon their arrival, they found the hydra already subdued.
Wang Yue's sword pressed against the hydra's forehead, holding its blue inner pill, seemingly in complete control.
