Chapter 182: The winner is decided!

“How could a trapping Formation suddenly appear here?”

“It definitely wasn’t here when we arrived.”

The giant Silver Dragon hovered in mid-air, its Dragon eyes showing an incredibly human-like disbelief.

It refused to believe it.

Its massive Dragon wings flapped fiercely, changing direction, and it charged towards another edge of the Old City District.

“Boom!”

The result was the same.

It once again crashed into an invisible wall, bounced back by the immense recoil.

Li Qiu was completely horrified.

He controlled the Silver Dragon, frantically crashing back and forth across the skies of the Old City District.

East, South, West, North.

Every direction was firmly sealed by an indestructible transparent barrier.

The entire Old City District had become a giant cage from which escape was impossible.

And he was the trapped beast within the cage.

“Roar—!”

The Silver Dragon let out an unwilling roar.

It took a deep breath, and a blinding platinum light illuminated between its chest and abdomen, more brilliant than any time before.

The next second, a Dragon Breath, condensed with terrifying energy, like a bursting celestial river, fiercely struck the barrier above its head!

“Rumble—!”

A deafening roar echoed throughout the night sky.

The barrier rippled violently, countless arcane runes flowing across it, absorbing and neutralizing the Dragon Breath that was powerful enough to melt steel.

In the end, the barrier merely flickered a few times before returning to calm.

It was completely unmoved.

“What the hell... what level of trapping Formation is this?!”

Li Qiu couldn’t help but let out a desperate curse from within the Dragon’s body.

“Why is a hastily constructed Formation so sturdy?!”

Just as he was at a loss for an explanation.

Outside the Old City District, a refined figure holding a feather fan slowly turned and walked into the deeper shadows, disappearing from sight.

High in the sky, Yasuo flapped his Wind Wings and slowly flew over.

He hovered opposite the Silver Dragon, a faint smile on his face.

“Don’t waste your energy.”

“This trapping Formation is very sturdy.”

“You can’t escape.”

The giant Silver Dragon turned its head, its cold Dragon eyes fixed on him.

“I’m not running away!”

Li Qiu’s voice came from the Dragon’s mouth, still stubborn.

“I just don’t have any interest in playing with a guy like you who only knows how to cheat!”

Zhou Huai smiled and didn’t retort.

“Is that so?”

He glanced at the Silver Dragon’s noticeably dull scales and its slightly hurried breathing.

“I guess your Fusion time with this Dragon is also nearing its limit, isn’t it?”

“Come on.”

Yasuo’s Kingslayer’s Edge pointed distantly at the opponent, lightning flickering on its tip.

“Let’s start the second round.”

“Until one of us wins, this trapping Formation won’t disappear.”

At these words, Li Qiu fell silent.

A moment later.

“Ugh—”

The Silver Dragon suddenly opened its mouth wide and spat out a figure covered in viscous liquid.

Li Qiu was slippery all over, his face ashen, and he scrambled up from the ground, using his hands and feet to climb back onto the Silver Dragon’s back.

Just as Zhou Huai had expected.

The consumption of Body Integration with the Silver Dragon was far greater than he had let on.

He gasped for breath, sweat mixed with rain sliding down his forehead.

But even so, there was no trace of fear in his eyes as he looked at Yasuo.

Instead, a more vigorous Battle Intent burned within them.

He craned his neck and roared at Yasuo.

“Good!”

“Then let’s have a fair fight!”

“Whoever runs again is a damn coward!”

Zhou Huai’s smile widened at these words.

“Good.”

As soon as his voice fell, Yasuo’s Wind Wings flapped fiercely behind him.

He transformed into a streak of lightning, instantly disappearing from his original spot.

Li Qiu’s Mental Energy was highly concentrated, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

“Left!”

He roared, and the Silver Dragon beneath him understood, its giant Dragon tail like a steel whip, sweeping horizontally towards the empty space on the left without hesitation.

However, there was nothing there.

“I fell for it! He’s on the right!”

Li Qiu’s expression changed, and he immediately reacted.

But by the time he urged the Silver Dragon to turn, it was too late.

Yasuo’s figure had already appeared on the Silver Dragon’s right wing, the golden longsword in his hand, carrying an Aura that could cut through anything, striking directly at the Dragon’s neck!

Li Qiu gritted his teeth, and in the nick of time, he forcefully controlled the Silver Dragon’s massive body to perform an extreme roll.

“Screech—!”

The golden sword edge grazed the Silver Dragon’s neck, creating a string of dazzling sparks and cutting off several hard Dragon scales.

【-8754】

A damage number floated above the Silver Dragon’s head.

Though not fatal, the burning pain thoroughly enraged this proud giant beast.

“Roar—!”

The Silver Dragon let out a painful roar, turned its head, and sprayed a mouthful of Dragon Breath.

Yasuo had anticipated this; after a successful strike, he immediately retreated, easily avoiding it.

“Bastard!”

Li Qiu cursed, his face growing even uglier.

This guy’s speed was too fast, and his movements were too strange.

His proud aerial advantage was completely gone in front of him.

He could only passively defend, running ragged.

The two, one human and one Dragon, once again engaged in a chase in the air.

Only this time, the offensive and defensive positions had already reversed.

Yasuo, like an experienced hunter, constantly used his speed advantage to harass the Silver Dragon with attacks.

Li Qiu was extremely anxious.

His Mental Energy and stamina were rapidly being depleted.

His life connection with the Silver Dragon also began to become unstable.

He had to find a way to break this stalemate!

Just then, Yasuo suddenly stopped all his attack movements and hovered in mid-air.

He flicked his wrist repeatedly.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Nearly a hundred shurikens, wrapped in dazzling electric light, rained down like scattered flowers, engulfing Li Qiu and the Silver Dragon!

Each shuriken sealed off a space for evasion.

The sudden scene made Li Qiu’s face instantly become incredibly grave.

This was clearly intended to disrupt his rhythm.

“Roar—!”

The Silver Dragon roared, no longer holding anything back.

Its pair of colossal Dragon Wings, which blotted out the sky, flapped wildly like two giant shields, stirring up destructive hurricanes that swept away most of the shurikens.

However, the number of shurikens was simply too many.

In the end, one straggler still managed to pass through the hurricane’s blockade and silently embedded itself in the Silver Dragon’s broad back.

An opportunity!

Zhou Huai’s eyes instantly lit up.

He didn’t hesitate and immediately activated the Thunder Blink Seal!

His figure instantly vanished!

High in the sky, Li Qiu saw Yasuo’s figure disappear again, but a cold, triumphant smile instead appeared on his lips.

“Finally, he took the bait!”

“Do you think I’d fall for the same trick a second time?”

The moment Yasuo’s figure appeared at the location of that shuriken!

Li Qiu roared.

“Now! Dragon Might!”

“Roar—!”

The Silver Dragon understood, raising its head to the sky and letting out a Soul-shaking roar!

Terrifying pressure instantly erupted!

Yasuo, who had just appeared, stiffened abruptly, once again falling into that cursed paralyzed state.

“Die!”

A hint of ferocity flashed in Li Qiu’s eyes.

The Silver Dragon suddenly turned its head, its wide-open maw already aimed at Yasuo’s location.

A Dragon Breath, long-prepared and thicker than any previous one, erupted!

This time, there was no escaping!

However, Yasuo’s face was smiling at this moment.

Because this was not his true body at all.

It was a Yasuo Clone created by Zhou Huai through the 【Phantom Wind Set】.

At this moment, Li Qiu seemed to have already seen Yasuo being burned to ashes in that destructive Dragon Breath.

However, just as the Dragon Breath was about to touch Yasuo’s body.

An unexpected change occurred!

The Yasuo who should have been fixed in place, unable to move, suddenly “poofed” into a dazzling burst of foam, dissipating into the air.

“What?!”

The smile on Li Qiu’s face instantly froze.

Was... was he tricked?!

This was actually just a Clone!

Then his true body...

A fear unlike anything he had ever known instantly gripped his heart.

He began to frantically search for Yasuo’s true body around him.

Just then, he heard a series of heart-pounding thunderclaps from above his head.

He suddenly looked up.

Hundreds of meters above, the real Yasuo had appeared there at some point.

He held his golden longsword high, pointing it at the sky.

The dark clouds across the entire sky seemed to be drawn by some force, beginning to spin wildly, forming an enormous black vortex.

At the center of the vortex, thick, destructive purple-black lightning bolts were furiously gathering.

That was Yasuo’s level 20 ultimate skill.

【World-Destroying Thunder】!

“No—!”

Li Qiu let out a desperate roar, and without thinking, he tried to urge the Silver Dragon to flee this death zone.

But it was all too late.

Yasuo’s cold voice, like a god’s judgment, descended from the sky.

“It’s over.”

Rumble—!

A gigantic pillar of lightning, powerful enough to pierce heaven and earth, descended from the sky!

It accurately landed on the massive Silver Dragon.

“Roar—!!!”

The Silver Dragon and Li Qiu on its back simultaneously let out an extremely mournful shriek.

【-89999】

A huge, crimson damage number appeared above their heads.

Though not fatal.

It caused significant damage to the arrogant Silver Dragon.

Its scales were blasted off, and its flesh was mangled.

Its massive Dragon body, like a broken-winged airplane, plummeted straight down from the sky.

“Rumble—!!!”

It crashed heavily into the ruins of the Old City District, kicking up dozens of meters of dust that enveloped everything.

High in the sky, Yasuo slowly sheathed his sword, his Wind Wings gently fanning as he steadily landed on the ground.

When the dust gradually settled.

He stepped into the ruins.

A moment later, he walked out, holding a person by the neck.

It was Li Qiu, charred and barely alive.

Yasuo casually threw him to the ground, looking down at him from above, his voice arrogant.

“It seems I won this battle.”

“Cough... cough cough...”

Li Qiu spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his body twitching uncontrollably from weakness, unable to move even a single finger.

But ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) he still refused to admit defeat.

“You... you’re so despicable...”

“You... you only know how to ambush...”

Zhou Huai merely scoffed disdainfully at these words.

All’s fair in war.

Just then.

“Roar—!”

From within the ruins, the giant Silver Dragon struggled and stood up again.

It was covered in blood, but its Dragon eyes were still filled with fury and killing intent.

It opened its mouth, and the remaining Dragon Breath gathered within, aiming at Yasuo.

Zhou Huai turned his head to look at the overconfident beast, his eyes cold.

“You’d better behave.”

He extended his foot and gently stepped on Li Qiu’s head, his voice devoid of emotion.

“Otherwise, I’ll crush him right now.”
