--- Chapter 77 ---

"Second Round," Yunlong stated while pointing the golden-black sword at Liu Erlong, who quietly stared at him with slitted red eyes.

He took a deep breath and entered a stance, where he firmly seized the sword and flowed it with sharp sword intent.

'What a drag...' Yunlong suddenly thought, and he dashed forward with an incredible speed toward Liu Erlong.

[Unison Season Art: First Sword, Early Summer Rain]

Yunlong thrust his sword into the air and launched an invisible sharp force made of sword intent toward Liu Erlong, who calmly stood still without any care.

"Fire Dragon's Roar...!" Liu Erlong launched another fire wave, which was two times stronger than before.

BOOM!

Their attack met with each other, and an explosion of fire and sword intent occurred, scattered in the arena as the ground turned into a cloud of dust.

The cloud of dust covered the entire area, which made Liu Erlong and Yunlong lose their sense of sight for a moment.

Yunlong closed his eyes and perceived the space around him, which made him frown since a fiery fist suddenly came from behind him.

He hardened the black-golden sword even more and defended Liu Erlong's fiery punch with it.

Bam! Clank!

'It's become tougher?' Liu Erlong looked at the sword that resisted her attack.

She frowned a little and increased the intensity of her fire, but the sword still stayed the same without any sign of burn, which is because of the extreme resistance to cold and heat.

"It won't work." Yunlong's voice suddenly entered her ears, making Liu Erlong shift her gaze to him and found that his eyes had changed.

Liu Erlong tried to release her hand from him forcibly, but to her surprise, Yunlong's hand won't budge even after she used half of her strength.

Yunlong pulled his other hand in the air and formed a fist, which released a heavy pressure. "Prepare yourself." He said while menacingly staring at Liu Erlong.

BAM!!

He punched Liu Erlong's face, which made her whimper a little since she got launched out of the cloud of dust.

'There is no hesitance in his punch.' Liu Erlong landed on the ground and immediately spitted blood from her mouth.

Roar!!

A dragon roar suddenly echoed in the arena, and an energy attack shaped like a dragon head flew at a fast speed toward Liu Erlong, which appeared in front of her in a split second.

Liu Erlong quickly jumped into the air and dodged the attack, which hit the ground and created another explosion that destroyed the arena.

Boom!

"You cannot dodge in the air..." Yunlong muttered while looking at her from the cloud of dust.

A thousand golden lights suddenly flew toward the skies and revolved around Liu Erlong, which made her realize that Yunlong planned to make her jump the first attack.

'One thousand golden leaves.' Yunlong tightly gripped his hands and made the thousand sharp golden leaves darted toward Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong looked at the area around her and found no blind spot, which made her even more surprised by Yunlong's ability, even though he's so young.

'Oh, right. My son is the most talented and gifted person I've ever seen, so you probably should prepare yourself.' Bibi Dongxue's words resounded in Liu Erlong's head, which made her coldly breathed to calm herself down.

"Fire Dragon's Armor..." Liu Erlong activated her sixth spirit skill, which made a scorching red dragon-scales armor cover her entire body, except for her head.

Yunlong looked at the scene with a calm expression as it doesn't matter even if Liu Erlong activated her defensive ability because the thousand golden leaves aren't his final attack.

Liu Erlong's crimson armor repelled every sharp golden leaf that came toward her. Even though some golden leaves pass through, she can easily dodge them by rotating her body in the air.

'Hmm? He didn't attack me anymore?' Liu Erlong thought while looking at Yunlong, who calmly observed her from the destroyed arena.

'He didn't stare at me. He stares at the skies?' She suddenly lifted her head and looked at a giant golden lance, which fell directly toward her with a powerful force.

On top of the spirit hall's branch tower, Jin Eyu spurted his wine in disbelief. "This is ridiculous..." He said.

"Bibi Dong, just what kind of monster did you raised when I'm not in the spirit hall..." Jin Eyu muttered in wonder while looking at the giant golden lance, which fell from the skies.

He has been observing their fight from the beginning, and he has seen enough of Yunlong's prowess, but this is ridiculous to see a brat like him pull an attack like this.

'Not only that, but he's also perfectly combined physical and spiritual attack, which he applied to that golden lance.' Jin Eyu thought while making protection around the spirit hall's branch.

He's also already put a layer of illusion array, which made the spirit hall's branch look normal to the outsider's eyes as this fight would unmistakably invites some curious sights.

"Let's hope the array and protection did not break because of his attack." Jin Eyu said while taking a sip of his wine.

--- Back to the fight ---

"I just have to dodge..." Liu Erlong muttered while looking at the golden lance.

She's about to create a fire burst, which would launch herself away from this area, but another cobwebs suddenly come out of the ground and catch her feet.

Liu Erlong frowned a little and instantly tried to burn the webs using her fire, but different from the previous nets. It's suddenly glowing with purple light, which absorbed her spirit energy and weakened her body.

"Fall..." Yunlong's quiet voice echoed as the golden lance fell to the ground.

BOOOMM!!!

The ground trembled for a few seconds, and the building around them was violently shaking as a massive cloud of dust rising from the ground and covered the entire area.

"Fire Dragon's Possession..." Liu Erlong's voice resounded as a giant silhouette of a burning fire dragon rose from the ground.

ROAR!

'I should have put more force into that attack...' Yunlong thought while looking at the fiery dragon, who roared the skies and stared at him.

'But, that attack should be enough to injure her heavily.' He continued while activating his true saint dragon martial soul, which turned his left arm into a golden-scaled hand with sharp claws.

Liu Erlong, who in the martial soul possession state, looked at him with her crimson slitted eyes and rushed toward him, to which Yunlong responded with a calm breath.

'Semi Dragon King's Physique,' Yunlong's eyes turned into crimson-gold, which released a bloodline pressure to every soul master with the beast martial soul in the area.

He also activated his external spirit bone that has fused with him a few days ago, which was the golden wyvern's horn he got after killing Gu Xin and used its ability: The golden dragon's will and suppressed the weakened Liu Erlong.

He placed his left hand forward and calmly looked at the incoming fiery dragon, which rushed toward him at a significant momentum.

"Stop..." Yunlong calmly stated, and Liu Erlong's fiery dragon legs suddenly stumbled onto the ground and launched her giant body at him.

The fiery dragon stopped perfectly in front of Yunlong, and his left dragon arm softly touched its head, "I won..." He calmly declared.

The fiery dragon turned back into Liu Erlong and significantly blew appeared on her stomach, which happened because of Yunlong's golden lance attack.

Cough!

Liu Erlong coughed blood while looking at the skies. "Why did he leave me..." She suddenly cried.

"I don't know," Yunlong answered while standing in front of her.

"Why... Did Xiaogang leave me for another woman?!" Liu Erlong sorrowfully said while coughing more blood.

"I don't know..." Yunlong once again answered while quietly staring at her.

Yunlong silently watched her cry for a moment until she coughed another mouthful of blood.

"Do you want to live?" Yunlong suddenly asked.

"I don't want to..." Liu Erlong spontaneously replied while closing her eyes.

Yunlong released a sigh and sat beside her. He started healing her using white light grace, which slowly covered her body with white light.

"You're foolish like my mother in the past," Yunlong said while looking at Liu Erlong's face.

"Foolish..." Liu Erlong silently muttered while opening her eyes.

"I want to ask you something. I have never understood why you loved that man so much?" Yunlong asked while healing her wound.

"I don't know..." Liu Erlong silently replied while motionlessly looking at the skies.

They became quiet for a few minutes until Yunlong fully healed her wounds, which made Liu Erlong shift her gaze to him.

"Can I hold your hand..." Liu Erlong suddenly requested while quietly staring at him.

"Hmm, sure," Yunlong responded with a nod and offered his left hand at her.

Liu Erlong slowly touched Yunlong's left hand and felt a great warmth, which made her very comfortable for some reason.

"Warm..." Liu Erlong quietly said while closing her eyes again.
