Chapter 101: Golden Dragon Roar
As the two stepped onto the stage, the Referee loudly announced, "The match begins!" before swiftly moving aside.
Fang Lie stood motionless with hands clasped behind his back, calmly observing Li Jing. Unlike other arrogant competitors, the chubby youth politely cupped his fists and bowed. "This humble Lackey Li Jing greets Big Brother Fang!"
Though inwardly seething, Fang Lie maintained decorum. "No need for formalities," he replied lightly. "We haven’t even determined who’s older."
"Haha! Actually, I’m younger by several days!" Li Jing’s face shone with earnest admiration. "Big Brother, you might not realize how deeply I respect you. Your earth-shaking deeds, though severe, aim to cleanse our Mo Sect’s corruption! While others misunderstand, I see your true purpose – to restore our sect’s former glory!"
The words struck Fang Lie’s heart. Wasn’t this exactly why he’d been harsh with those spoiled family disciples? To purge the sect’s rot and revive its righteous spirit?
As Fang Lie’s guard momentarily wavered, the old bird’s warning screeched: "TRAP! MOVE!"
Fang Lie’s golden wings snapped open before the warning fully registered, propelling him skyward as golden light.
Below, Li Jing’s friendly mask shattered. His body shook violently, sword feathers erupting to form a glittering Dragon Head that snapped at empty air where Fang Lie had stood.
The Divine Phoenix Golden Wings proved their might – 108,000 feathers humming as Fang Lie outran the pursuing dragon head. Li Jing stomped in frustration. His perfect tactic had failed! The mind-clouding secret technique during flattery should’ve worked! How had Fang Lie dodged at the critical moment?
Worse, the sword formation couldn’t match Fang Lie’s terrifying speed – faster than Golden Pool experts despite the Dragon Head’s formation-enhanced pursuit!
Desperate, Li Jing unleashed the Golden Dragon Roar’s hidden technique. His hands formed the secret technique’s seal as he pointed skyward.
ROOOAR! The original Dragon Head birthed a colossal new construct – ten times faster and fiercer. The spent sword feathers fell like dead leaves, their glow dimmed and Spiritual Energy depleted.
Tears welled as Li Jing watched his third-tier magical items degrade to second-tier. The Golden Dragon Roar’s power came at brutal cost – draining the sword feathers’ essence to near destruction.
If it were ordinary treasures, it wouldn’t matter. But wasting an entire set of priceless third-tier magical items like this—what a colossal waste!
This was essentially treating regular treasures as disposable ones. Yet since the sect rules didn’t explicitly forbid it, that scoundrel had exploited a loophole!
Cornered, Fang Lie faced the Golden Dragon Roar, its power nearing that of a Fourth-tier Magical Item. Even a glancing hit would reduce him to dust!
The attack’s speed suddenly surged, nearly reaching Fang Lie’s back in an instant!
Panicking, Fang Lie activated the Explosion Qi Technique at breakneck speed, channeling tenfold magic power into his Divine Phoenix Golden Wings.
Fortunately, the wings’ potential was limitless—greater magic meant greater speed. With tenfold power, his speed multiplied beyond tenfold, narrowly escaping. Not only did he evade the Golden Dragon Roar, he even gained distance!
But the Golden Dragon Roar was Dao magic locked onto Fang Lie. It would pursue him relentlessly until he perished.
Fang Lie couldn’t afford a single misstep. One slip meant death!
The arena’s strict boundaries trapped him. Though hundreds of meters wide, it offered no escape from the pursuit.
With no options, Fang Lie shot skyward. But the heavens weren’t safe—Ninth Heavens Fierce Heavenly Winds and Divine Lightning lurked above. Even Thunder Tribulation Immortals feared these dangers, let alone someone like Fang Lie.
Fierce Heavenly Winds began at tens of thousands of meters, growing deadlier with height. At Fang Lie’s cultivation level, even the weakest gust would kill him.
Time was scarce. Fang Lie faced two deaths: shredded by winds above or obliterated by the Golden Dragon Roar below.
"Old Bird!" Fang Lie yelled. "Help me!"
The old bird sighed. "Technically, he broke no rules. I warned you because they betrayed the ancestors’ intentions. But intervening now would violate protocols. A difficult choice."
"Bullshit!" Fang Lie roared. "He unleashed Fourth-Rank Dao magic! That’s cheating!"
"He used treasures, damaging them in the process. The rules don’t forbid this," the old bird countered.
"Fine! Forget help! I’ll settle this myself!" Fang Lie barked. Activating his Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Dao Robe, five elemental shields materialized—metal, wood, water, fire, earth. Empowered by tenfold magic, each rivaled second-rank treasures.
With a gesture, Fang Lie fused them into a single radiant Five Elements Shield, its power now matching third-tier magical items. He veered sideways, shielding his flank.
The Golden Dragon Roar struck. The shield shattered instantly, the impact hurling Fang Lie backward. Blood sprayed from his mouth mid-air—yet he survived.
Too high for Li Jing’s divine sense to control, the Golden Dragon Roar lacked spirit. Deflected, it veered harmlessly into the sky.
Fang Lie seethed. Years of experience, yet he’d faltered in the arena—allowing a sneak attack! Humiliation fueled his wrath.
He plummeted toward Li Jing like a thunderbolt. At several hundred meters, he unleashed four Soulfire Lances in rapid succession at Li Jing’s chest!
Knowing their lethality, Li Jing retaliated with seventy-two Gold Dragon sword feathers. Crackling explosions filled the air—the lances vanished, but only half the feathers returned, their Divine Light dimmed and damaged.
