Chapter 114: The Brutal Beating of the Golden Dragon
Page 1/3
Su Yizhao was quite surprised! Had he just comprehended it so quickly? He extended his right hand, clenched his fist, and lightly struck forward into the empty space.
“Whoosh!”
A faint sound, the shadow of his fist sliced through the void, appearing instantly at a great distance. Suddenly, Su Yizhao spun sharply, and a shadowy fist struck toward his face.
He punched out.
“Boom!”
The shadow vanished.
So far away, yet so close.
Did space not actually exist?
A thoughtful expression appeared in Su Yizhao’s eyes.
It seemed like he had an epiphany, yet it also felt like he hadn’t.
He sensed that if he could control the shadow of his fist detached from the fist itself, he would immediately succeed.
But within this secret realm, there was no sense of space, no concept of time.
He had no idea how much time had passed!
His cultivation level hadn’t advanced at all; he was still at the pinnacle of the Seventh Divine Realm, without even the slightest feeling of breakthrough.
Of course, he didn’t dare to force a breakthrough.
After all, breakthroughs in soul and body refinement required massive resources he simply didn’t have.
Su Yizhao closed his eyes, attempting to continue his insight.
Yet a wave of restlessness surged in his mind.
He couldn’t stay any longer!
Determined, he shot out of the secret realm, racing from the seabed toward the continent’s coastline.
Five days later, he stopped beneath the sea.
In his spiritual perception, the coastline was just a hundred miles away.
But on the beach stood a young cultivator.
That young cultivator carefully examined him from a hundred miles away.
Su Yizhao was astonished. “Is that him?”
This demon race cultivator was the golden dragon who had lured him into the deep sea, only to be hunted by Su Yizhao for three days and nights.
Was he here for revenge?
Su Yizhao showed no fear and slowly emerged from the water.
Perfect timing to test whether his insights in the secret realm were real or illusion.
A faint smile crossed the young cultivator’s face.
A cyan figure surfaced and walked on water, exuding confidence.
Cool, indeed.
But useless!
Su Yizhao seemed to read his thoughts and asked, “Am I cool?”
The young cultivator nodded, “Among the young elite disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect, you are indeed quite cool! Especially when facing me!”
Su Yizhao laughed.
Facing a golden dragon he had hunted for three days and nights, what was wrong with being cool?
“First, I’m not even an elite disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect yet. Secondly, facing a defeated opponent like you, I can be even cooler!”
“Such arrogance! Die!”
The young cultivator instantly flared with anger. A golden scale on his body dissolved instantly, and a torrent of golden shards cut toward Su Yizhao.
Su Yizhao’s mind flashed. Nine flying swords erupted.
Countless sword lights pierced the golden shards.
“Ding ding ding ding...!”

As the sword light dispersed, the golden shards also scattered.
The two locked eyes.
In his opponent’s gaze, Su Yizhao saw a golden dragon.
Its body covered in golden scales, wielding a ten-plus zhang long spear-like body. It suddenly opened its mouth, shooting a golden arrow toward him.
Within the Purple Mansion, a two-zhang tall soul giant clasped its hands tightly. Soul energy converged from all over its body, forming a solid shield before it.
At that moment, outside the Purple Mansion, the golden arrow struck perfectly.
“Thunk!”
The soul giant’s body trembled, the shield’s color slightly dimming.
Attack and defense evenly matched.
Suddenly, Su Yizhao moved!
His right hand waved, and the nine flying swords buzzed, instantly transforming into ten thousand sword lights, covering the young cultivator.
A fierce wind swept the beach, spraying seawater in all directions.
He whispered, “Accelerate!”
Immediately, the sword lights vanished.
The golden scales on the young cultivator split apart and covered his entire body.
“Ding ding ding ding...!”
When the flying swords struck, sparks flew off the young cultivator’s body, and the sword lights began to fade.
But this time, Su Yizhao did not hold back. Both hands formed seals, driving the Perfected “Heaven and Earth Sword Art” to its utmost limit.
The sword lights that had just faded were instantly reborn, shooting from all directions.
“Heaven is the sky, the sky moves vigorously, the noble man strengthens himself unceasingly.”
This was the mantra of the “Heaven and Earth Sword Art.” As long as the profound qi in his dantian flowed without end, his attacks would never cease.
“Ding ding ding...!”
The young cultivator writhed like a fire man, his expression full of pain, golden liquid oozing between his scales.
Suddenly,
A roar!
A golden dragon shot skyward!
Su Yizhao formed hand seals; ten thousand sword lights pursued relentlessly.
One looked down from above, the other looked up from the water’s surface.
Now, the sword lights aimed straight for the dragon’s head.
The golden dragon’s waist, thick as a zhang, twisted fiercely, releasing waves of oppressive pressure.
Su Yizhao’s heart raced—this was bad. He instantly retreated.
“Roar!”
A thunderous sound, the huge golden dragon spewed flames.
As the flames erupted, the seawater below instantly vaporized.
The void twisted from the intense heat.
The ten thousand sword lights vanished instantly.
“Roar!”
The golden dragon soared, the cyan figure retreated rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it had pulled back over a hundred zhang.
Su Yizhao’s face darkened.
What was this nonsense?
Breathing fire?
Such extreme heat!
One man and one dragon fought fiercely for a whole day and night, golden liquid raining from the sky.
“Boom!”
Su Yizhao grabbed the dragon’s horn, slamming the golden dragon onto the shore.
The four- or five-zhang-long golden dragon was battered and bruised, especially its abdomen, where a gaping eight-chi-deep wound nearly split it in two.

“You—you dare to kill me...!”
Suddenly, the golden dragon awoke and spoke.
Su Yizhao’s right fist struck hard.
“Bang!”
“Roar!”
A fist-sized dent appeared instantly on the dragon’s head.
“Thanks to you!” Su Yizhao was also battered, his upper robes burnt away, his skin scorched black.
Yet his eyes remained bright.
At the crucial moment, he finally grasped the full truth of the spatial rules.
“Die!” he said softly, looking at the frustrated golden dragon.
Suddenly,
From the deep sea came four or five dragon roars.
He turned his head, stunned.
Golden dragons!
Five golden dragons charged fiercely.
Su Yizhao had barely survived killing one golden dragon; now five came at once—was he doomed?
Fortunately, the five golden dragons did not pursue him, stopping at the coastline.
He dared not hesitate, fixing his course, and flew swiftly toward Sanwu City.
“Wh-why didn’t you kill him?”
On the beach, the young cultivator lying in the sand looked at his terrible wound and asked.
“There will be plenty of chances later!”
“Roar!” the battered cultivator howled.
Su Yizhao flew past Gravel Sand City, past Linhai County.
Desolation everywhere; deathly silence.
Had everyone left?
He wondered silently.
He had no idea how the Xuanyuan Sect’s competition had ended, or if his name was on the Heavenly Ranking.
His strength had increased again, bringing him one step closer to reaching the Upper Realm.
Only by entering the Xuanyuan Sect and becoming an elite disciple could he find the fastest path to the Upper Realm.
Suddenly,
A joyous expression crossed his face.
In his spiritual perception, Sanwu City had arrived!
Why was it so huge?
Originally, Sanwu City was only about ten miles across, but in his spiritual sight, its boundaries could not be seen.
Within Sanwu City, cultivators and mortals appeared in his spiritual perception.
But on all their faces was despair, and some cultivators wore expressions of resolute determination, boldly flying toward the Shadow Soul Desolation.
Su Yizhao was stunned!
They were going to their deaths!
At the southwestern frontier, where cultivation systems were incomplete, entering the Shadow Soul Desolation was surely a death sentence!
He hurriedly released his spiritual perception, searching for Cheng Jiaojiao and the others.
Had they already entered?
