Chapter 12: Ancient Overlord Dragon_1

"Swish"

A dazzling sword light suddenly appeared, setting off tumultuous waves of sword Qi amidst the forest!

Despite his severe injuries, Xiao Chen was not as agile as before, eventually being caught up by the Royal Celestial Maiden. Now, he had no choice but to lay everything on the line, to fight desperately for his life.

The fire had been extinguished, casting the woods into darkness. However, the gleaming sword light flared up intermittently, shattering the forest trees with its destructive force, striving to match up to the lightning in the high skies.

Zhao Lin'er, being the Royal Celestial Maiden, naturally learned top-tier Mysterious Cultivation. Around her, the famed Rainbow Sword Skill ensnared an alluring rainbow. Emerged in the rainy night, her elegance is unmatched. The rainbow-hued sword light continuously fired out in bursts.

Xiao Chen's untamed hair danced wildly while his eyes held a cold electric charge. His sword was like a rainbow as he fought with a wounded body. However, he was unable to counteract her attacks and was finally forced to flee once again.

Even though the endless darkness provided him an opportunity to escape, Zhao Lin'er's speed was simply too fast. She practiced the "Floating Light Shadowy Illusory Step", a peerless movement skill on par with the "One Reed Crossing River Dharma Light Body Skill". She moved with the elegance of an exiled fairy, locking onto Xiao Chen mercilessly.

In the endless darkness, amidst the pouring rain, Xiao Chen dashed through the forest. Blood surged from his throat, his wounded body failing. Yet, the impending threat behind him was closing in, the gleam of the seven-colored sword was almost about to touch him.

He leaped into the air, twirling mid-flight, unleashing a resplendent curtain of light that fell like countless stars from the starry sky. The light curtain shattered the incoming rainbow light, dissolving the lethal threat. Swinging his longsword, a dazzling sword light charged upward like a glorious silver dragon, seemingly connecting with the lightning from above.

The sharp sword Qi repelled Zhao Lin'er, and then, Xiao Chen fled once again. On this rainy night, all beasts had gone into hiding. Other than the sounds of wind, rain, and lightning, no animal roars could be heard.

Xiao Chen knew this couldn't go on; change was necessary, else he would surely die. Identifying a direction, he turned and darted towards a dense, dark forest ahead, staking his life on this single gamble!

Though no beast roars could be heard in other regions, signs of fierce beasts could still be perceived. However, this area was completely deserted; not a single beast was spotted in the enormous forest. Despite the constant lightning and torrential rain, for an unknown reason, this woodland gave off an inexplicable sense of dread.

It was as if this was a land of extreme danger!

Deep into the forest, a chilling Evil Qi spread, unfazed by the rain.

Xiao Chen didn't pause to rest and swiftly pressed forward. Zhao Lin'er was shocked. She could feel the terrifyingly ominous air, which was formed from the slaughter of countless beings. It indicated great peril waited ahead!

Briefly hesitating, she decided to continue her pursuit. If she missed this opportunity, it would be incredibly difficult to kill Xiao Chen in the future. Once she started, there was no turning back.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, a deep bellow echoed from deep within the forest. A blood-scented gust of wind blew, inducing frenzied motions in the trees. In waves, an intensely oppressive aura rushed forth.

The rain veered sharply, leaves fell, and the earth began to tremble!

"Roar..."

With a tremendous roar, the continuous lightning in the sky was suppressed. The mountain range shook as a giant creature emerged in the Primitive Old Forest. Its enormous body glowed dimly, standing there like a mountain, exuding the unlimited Evil Qi.

Not long ago, the appearance of this Ancient Savage Beast allowed Xiao Chen to kill Prince Feng and Liu Yue successfully. Now, trapped by the Royal Celestial Maiden with nowhere to run, he wanted to use the Beast to repel his enemy.

In that moment, not just Zhao Lin'er, even Xiao Chen was stunned. He finally realized the true identity of the Beast that fought the Evil Octopus dragon halfway through the night.

This beast was the Tyrannosaurus from ancient legends!

It was fifty meters long and more than twenty meters high; its pair of robust hind legs provided mobility while allowing the front limbs to be free, revealing terrifyingly sharp claws that radiated a dazzling cold light.

The massive, gruesome head held a six to seven-meter long blue horn that shone a dreadfully profound light. The colossal blue eyes, as large as grinding stones, gleamed coldly. The sharp teeth were as terrifying as a gleaming broadsword.

An Alligator-like green tail, over twenty meters long and undoubtedly strong enough to sweep away armies, easily removed any obstacles. Green scale armor covered the entire body, reflecting a horrifying green glow, looking particularly eerie on this dark, rainy night.

Numerous sinister wounds covered its body, indicative of a hard battle with the Evil Octopus Dragon. Several large patches of scale armor had even fallen off.

The dreadful Evil Qi lingering on it offered a glimpse into the countless beings it had killed. Legend has it the Tyrannosaurus was part of the ruling Dragon Clan's hierarchy, its body's strength outmatched a few and it was known as the Overlord. Furthermore, it could emit clouds, control lightning, fly and tunnel; even the Heavenly Gods didn't dare provoke it light-heartedly.

Apparently, the clashing swords had startled it, and the gleaming sword light caught its attention. Its territory had been invaded by someone, with a single roar, the mountains quivered as its mammoth body, akin to a small mountain, approached Xiao Chen and his pursuer.

Zhao Lin'er's face changed drastically. Casting a glance towards Xiao Chen who was not too far ahead, frustration surged within her. She once again closed in with a drawn longsword. Xiao Chen, gritting his teeth, had no other choice but to run towards the Evil Dragon.

As the Ancient Savage Beast drew close, the ground shook violently. Both of them were unable to maintain their balance, stumbling amidst their run.

The rumoured Tyrannosaurus was getting closer. Zhao Lin'er ultimately turned back with regret and reluctance; the ancient beast from the legends was just too terrifying. A delay of even a second could pose a threat to her life.

Xiao Chen felt chills run down his spine; he had unknowingly gotten less than fifty meters away from the Breath Dragon. The behemoth was only three to four steps away; its huge turquoise eyes had locked on him through the trees!
