For ordinary people, when the chainsaw greatsword is deeply embedded, it would undeniably be a grievous body-piercing injury.
But for the massive Double-Sailed Dragon, which resembles a moving building, the nearly two-meter blade of the chainsaw greatsword is akin to a mere needle. Though this stab drew a considerable amount of blood, it barely counts as a minor injury.
However, Bai Pu had yet to unleash his Mystical Arts.
The shadow of the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts appeared, with explosive power surging forth.
Bai Pu gripped the sword with both hands, exhaling loudly.
A 151-point Offensive Power Judgment, bolstered by the armor-breaking capability of Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts!
With this strike, he cut along the spine muscles of the Double-Sailed Dragon, leaving a long bloody gash on its back, with blood gushing forth.
-570! (Critical Strike)
The Double-Sailed Dragon let out a howl of pain.
Despite Bai Puâs mental preparation, seeing the damage numbers appear still left him feeling a bit helpless.
The damage reduction of this giant beast is truly formidableâ150 points of Endurance is already a massive barrier, not to mention the additional reduction from the Thick Skin passive skill.
This strike by Bai Pu would have been enough to instantaneously kill a Level 6 Hero Profession, but it couldnât do the same against this Level 6 Giant Beast.
The Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts doesnât completely ignore the opponentâs armor, but rather breaks a part of it.
Ignoring an opponentâs armor is a special effect centered around the Mystical Arts of the "Volcanoâs Face," and it doesnât mean every Basic Attack by Bai Pu has this effect.
If that were the case, every hit would be akin to true damage, which would be too exaggerated, even top-grade Mystical Arts canât achieve that.
Itâs worth noting that the "Blood Mist Butcherâs Chainsaw Sword" itself has a fixed 30-point Armor Breaker, and when combined with the partial armor-break of the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts, it almost renders most non-Tank-Type Hero Professions effectively armorless.
However, when faced with 150 points of Endurance and the Thick Skin passive skill, more than sixty percent of the damage is still mitigated.
This particular strike was delivered at the relatively fragile root of the Double-Sailed Dragonâs back fin, thus resulting in a critical hit, otherwise, the damage would have been reduced by half again.
At this moment, Bai Pu hadnât activated the "Fierce Aura" skill of the Giant Tuoâs Fierce Eye, which would have tripled the critical damage.
Thatâs because he intended to tame this Double-Sailed Dragon for his own use, not kill it.
The Double-Sailed Dragon roared as it charged forward, then stopped abruptly, dodging left and right.
These actions were meant to shake off Bai Pu, who was clinging to its back.
These instinctual evasive maneuvers were ones the Double-Sailed Dragon had practiced over many years to shake off small carnivorous dinosaurs, almost reaching the level of "Innate Skills," with every motion carrying a powerful force judgment!
Those lacking in strength would simply be flung away.
Bai Pu feared nothing when it came to confrontational strength tests.
He clutched the back fin of the Double-Sailed Dragon tightly with one hand, while wielding the greatsword with the other, waiting for a gap in the Double-Sailed Dragonâs movements before plunging the sword into the bloody gash on its back, twisting it viciously.
The Double-Sailed Dragon let out an earth-shattering howl of pain; no creature enjoys having a needle pierced into their wound, especially one wielded by Bai Pu, who possessed attributes exceeding a hundred in power.
That "needle" bore blades on both sides and continued to cut into the Double-Sailed Dragonâs wound, deepening it further.
From a data-driven perspective, the Double-Sailed Dragon could initially contract its muscle groups around the wound to forcibly stop its own bleeding, but now it couldnât. In addition to enduring Bai Puâs single attack damage of dozens to over a hundred points, it was also suffering continuous ten-point bleeding damage per second!
Suddenly, the Double-Sailed Dragon hunched down, charging forward in a fury like a raging bull, accelerating continuously!
Upon reaching maximum speed, the Double-Sailed Dragon abruptly performed a forward somersault. The cartilaginous structures on its back fin tensed up like two rows of serrated blades, intending to use this somersault maneuver to slice Bai Pu into pieces.
Bai Pu immediately released his grip, using Gang Step to flash into the air over a dozen meters high, recklessly expending Blood River Fighting Qi to initiate a second stage of Gang Step. His toes pressed against the thin air, which was suddenly compressed, providing a massive counter-thrust, allowing him to rise even higher.
After three consecutive Gang Steps, Bai Pu "flew" to a height of forty to fifty meters off the ground, successfully evading the Double-Sailed Dragonâs cunning somersault maneuver.
Yuan Yue silently cheered; Bai Puâs move was incredibly impressive.
However, she dared not make a sound.
When the Double-Sailed Dragon charged forward, and Bai Pu leaped onto its back, Yuan Yue had slyly slipped away.
She activated the stealth skill attached to her cloak, transforming into a shadow, hiding nearby to watch.
The Double-Sailed Dragon twisted its head, looking back at the ground it had plowed through with its somersault, trying to find the enemyâs corpse among the bloodstains.
But it found nothing.
That pool of blood was its own.
Before the Double-Sailed Dragon could react, Bai Pu was already plummeting from the sky, diving like an eagle into a strike, landing once more on the back of the Double-Sailed Dragon. He drove the sword fiercely in, then activated Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts, slicing across.
With a vertical and a horizontal slash, a terrifying cross-shaped bloody wound marked the Double-Sailed Dragonâs spine, with the blood once again flowing joyfully.
Bai Pu then grasped tightly onto the base of the Double-Sailed Dragonâs back fin, aggressively attacking the wound single-handedly with his sword.
No matter how much the Double-Sailed Dragon ran or jumped, it couldnât evade. As its blood flowed, its strength continued to wane, and a feeling of fear surged up.
This diminutive bug was too terrifyingâeven if it repeated the forward somersault maneuver, it couldnât shake him off, only add another wound to itself!
The Double-Sailed Dragon let out a muffled growl, slowing its pace, lowering its head.
Bai Puâs heart lifted with joy. He had originally thought he would have to deal enough damage to gravely wound the Double-Sailed Dragon before it would be pacified. Unexpectedly, after inflicting only a little over three thousand damage, it couldnât bear any more, showing a willingness to reconcile.
If the Double-Sailed Dragon had persisted to the death, Bai Pu might not have been able to conquer it. Each blow dealing hundreds of points of damage to the Double-Sailed Dragon depended on the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts, and evading its "forward somersault" maneuver required continuous use of Gang Step.
This consumed Blood River Fighting Qi at an alarming rate.
Fortunately, the Double-Sailed Dragon wasnât of an inherently fiery temperament. When it discovered that the opponent wasnât easy to deal with, its considerable intelligence led it to naturally choose reconciliation, hoping Bai Pu would cease his assault.
Bai Pu forced a drop of Pure Blood from his fingertips, letting it fall into the wound on the Double-Sailed Dragonâs back.
The Double-Sailed Dragonâs body stiffened instantly, as its own will clashed with the evolutionary instincts of the Pure Blood!
However, having already "surrendered," the Double-Sailed Dragonâs willpower was inherently weak, and with Bai Puâs enhanced hero template firmly suppressing it, the process remained tense but without real danger. The Pure Blood took effect, transforming the Double-Sailed Dragon into Bai Puâs slave.
More accurately, as his mount.
"Oh, if I had known, I wouldnât have hit so hard back then."
Bai Pu looked at his new mount, its enormous crisscrossing wounds and the blood markings covering its back, clicking his tongue and shaking his head.
What else could he do? Pull out some Emergency First Aid Ointment for treatment.
Fortunately, the Double-Sailed Dragon was naturally robust and resilient, with Endurance at a staggering 150 points. Even now, with over seven thousand Life Value remaining, it was fairly healthyâthese injuries were no big deal.
