The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 2195 An Earth-Shattering Showdown: Yinglong Battles the Water Monster Mingyuan

"Holy crap! What is this thing? It's so big!" Pang Shiwu's expression changed drastically!

He had never seen a monster of such enormous size!

Feng Jiuxiao said, "In the water, their weight can break through the constraints of their limbs and grow wildly. For example, whales are very large, extremely large! Lions and tigers are just a piece of their plate to be swallowed whole!"

The stirring at the bottom of Qinghai Lake finally broke free from the constraints of the ice cap!
The colossal object known as the "Abyss" was like a world-destroying demon god awakened from an ancient slumber, slowly arching its massive body, covered with millennia of silt and the remains of the dead, out of the huge ice cave beside the Heart of the Sea Mountain!
Turbulent waves surged into the sky, and shattered ice flew like hail!
Several tendrils, thicker than a thousand years old and covered with heavy basalt-like horny scales and pale white bone spurs, were the first to pierce the water's surface, stirring up waves of blood mixed with scarlet and dark green, like greedy claws reaching out from hell!
The headless remains of the giant python, like a drained sack, floated limply on the edge of the whirlpool, not yet sunk!
A terrifying tentacle, the closest one, suddenly shot out, its three-lobed mandible covered with spiraling teeth opening to its fullest extent, like a gaping maw from an abyss, precisely enveloping the giant python's severed neck!

"Pfft—glug glug!" The sickening sucking and crushing sound echoed through the frozen lake. The python's head visibly shrank and collapsed, greedily devoured by its bottomless, dark mouth! The dark green snake blood instantly stained the mud clinging to the surface of its tentacles.

This is just the beginning!
Several other enormous tentacles swaying in the turbid waves of blood, like predators with independent wills, had their three-lobed mouthparts opening and closing, sweeping up all the "debris" floating near the ice cave into their mouths!
The human corpse, half-dead and wearing tattered leather armor, was easily rolled up, and with the opening and closing of sharp teeth, bones and armor were crushed into dust!
A long iron spear, embedded in the ice, was snapped and chewed up like a fragile reed! Even several large ice floes were gnawed open by its spiraling teeth, sending ice shards flying everywhere!
Everything was devoured whole by those terrifying tentacles, like an appetizer! The waters near the ice cave were swept clean as if by a giant, invisible broom, leaving only churning, filthy waves of blood!
The main body of the Netherworld, with its back shell resembling a moving mountain, undulated slightly, and murky black water and mud continuously flowed out from the gaps.

Two abyssal, icy lights swept indifferently across the carnage it had turned upside down. Finally, the emotionless "gaze" slowly rose, piercing through the pervasive blood mist and drifting ice shards, and locked onto the summit of Haixin Mountain—locking onto the bronze figure perched beside the seven-colored halo, radiating intense hostility and vigilance!

At the mountain peak, Yinglong stands tall like a mountain.

The molten gold's vertical pupils contracted to the point of needles, staring intently at the terrifying silhouette that slowly rose into the ice cave.

A deep, rumbling roar, like muffled thunder, rolled from the depths of its throat, and scalding white steam spewed from the corners of its fanged mouth, condensing into frost in the cold wind.

A strong sense of disgust and crisis emanating from the depths of its bloodline caused the bronze scales all over its body to flare slightly, emitting a soft friction sound.

Its massive talons dug deep into the frozen earth and rocks beneath it, its enormous body instinctively tilting slightly backward in a defensive posture. The chilling, viscous, overwhelming killing intent and pure devouring desire emanating from the depths of the lake, like a tangible, biting wind, relentlessly assaulted its scales!

It seems that Mingyuan has finished cleaning up the "snacks".

Its enormous body suddenly sank into the murky water, causing the surface to cave in abruptly, forming a huge whirlpool!

Immediately afterwards, an unimaginable force erupted from the bottom of the lake! Its body, covered with thick shells and silt, was pushed upwards as if by the foot of an invisible giant!
The target was not to directly assault the mountain peak, but rather the shallow ice sheet that connected Haixin Mountain and the ice field, which had been torn apart by violent tremors!

Rumble—!!!
A deafening roar, like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart!

The abyss, like an island of destruction breaking through the water's surface, shattered the several-foot-thick layer of shallow ice! Huge blocks of ice were hurled hundreds of feet into the air like cannonballs! The murky lake water, mixed with mud, broken ice fragments, and countless fish and shrimp killed by the shock, formed a terrifying wall of water that blotted out the sky and crashed down on the foot of Hai Xin Mountain!

The entire island was trembling violently!

Under the cover of this devastating impact and the towering curtain of water, two thick tentacles that had been lurking underwater and unnoticed, like two long-dormant black dragons, tore through the murky water curtain with a piercing shriek, silently yet swiftly striking the vital spot of the Yinglong on the mountain peak—the base of its enormous fleshy wings that carried its ability to soar through the heavens!

Timing! Angle! Ruthless and cunning to the extreme!

Yinglong Rongjin's pupils suddenly contracted sharply! It had an instinctive aversion and fear of water, and the massive wave of water made it instinctively want to flap its wings and rise higher! However, just as its wings were about to puff out, the two mud tentacles wrapped in the aura of death were already inches away! The chilling killing intent was like steel needles piercing to the bone!
"Roar—!" Yinglong roared furiously! Its huge head swung violently, and its massive mouth, filled with ferocious fangs, was like a giant pair of scissors that could split the sky, carrying a golden sharpness that could tear everything apart, fiercely pecking at one of the tentacles that was attacking the root of its left wing!

"Hey!"

Sparks flew! Yinglong's fangs struck the joint of the tentacle with pinpoint accuracy, where a relatively thin layer of mud covered the surface! The tough tentacle scales shattered instantly! A strange, dark red, viscous, asphalt-like fluid gushed out! The tentacle shuddered violently, its movements momentarily slowed! However, another tentacle, attacking the base of its right wing, wrapped around it without any resistance!
"Oh!"

A dull thud! The tentacle, covered in thick silt and sharp bone spurs, instantly clamped tightly around the root of Yinglong's right wing near its torso, like a giant steel cable!
A terrifying, savage force originating from the wilderness suddenly erupted!

The sharp bone spikes on the surface of the mud tentacles were deeply embedded in the gaps of the Yinglong's hard bronze scales, producing a teeth-grinding friction sound!
The wing bone groaned under the strain! A cold, slippery, and highly corrosive chilling energy surged wildly through the bone spur!

Excruciating pain!

Accompanied by the rage of divine power being bound!
Yinglong roared to the sky, its left wing flapping wildly, stirring up hurricane-like turbulence as it tried to break free! Its giant claws soared into the air, tearing the earth apart as it fiercely grabbed at the mud tentacles wrapped around the base of its right wing!
However, would the Abyss only have this many tricks up its sleeve? Just as the Yinglong's giant claw was about to touch the tentacles, two points of abyssal light suddenly blazed brightly at the front of the massive body below, which was crashing into the island like a mountain!
A stream of dark green, viscous venom, resembling liquid jade and exuding a pungent, fishy stench a hundred times stronger than the giant python's venomous mist, shot silently and swiftly towards Yinglong's exposed chest and abdomen, exposed by his roar.

Before the venom even arrived, the destructive corrosive aura had already caused a sharp burning and numb sensation on the thick scales covering Yinglong's chest and abdomen!
It instantly made its most instinctive defensive reaction! Its huge left wing suddenly rolled back, like a huge bronze shield protecting its front! At the same time, its powerful hind legs kicked off the rocks, and its huge body, with the heavy tentacles wrapped around the base of its right wing, forced a rapid retreat to the side and rear!

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss—!!!"

A torrent of dark green venom slammed into Yinglong's massive left wing, which was barely protecting his chest and abdomen!
A terrifying sound suddenly rang out!

It was like countless scorching hot irons being pressed onto wet cowhide at the same time!
The incredibly tough bronze dragon wing scales, strong enough to withstand even divine weapons, turned into fragile blocks of wax upon contact with the venom, like flames meeting a raging fire! Large swaths of the bluish-gray scales visibly turned black, softened, and emitted thick, pungent white smoke!

The tough wing membrane beneath the scales emitted a sizzling sound as it quickly turned black and carbonized!
The intense, corrosive pain felt like thousands of red-hot steel needles piercing my bone marrow at once!
Yinglong let out a deafening roar, a mixture of excruciating pain and rage! The entire left wing almost lost consciousness, and the scales covering it instantly became charred, pitted, and extremely fragile!
If it hadn't retreated so quickly, the venom would have been enough to erode the wing membrane and damage the wing bone!

The intense pain unleashed the most primal ferocity within Yinglong's very being! His molten gold vertical pupils had now completely transformed into a burning furnace, spewing forth a furious rage that would incinerate everything!
It abandoned the protection of its left wing, and its huge head suddenly turned around. Its massive mouth, filled with menacing, interlocking fangs, bit down hard on the muddy tentacle that was still tightly wrapped around the base of its right wing, restricting its movement, with a resolute determination to destroy everything in its path!
The target was precisely the spot where its giant claws had just torn its scales and pecked its joints!

"Snap!!!"

This time, the tearing sound was as muffled as a mountain collapsing!
Yinglong's terrifying bite force erupted instantly! Its fangs sank deep into the torn wounds on its tentacles! The tough tendons of the tentacles and the even tougher internal supporting bones were forcibly severed amidst desperate cries! Dark red, viscous fluid gushed out like a river bursting its banks!

"Hiss—!!!" A sharp, agonizing scream, completely unlike anything in the human world, erupted from the vast depths of the Abyss for the first time!

Like billions of evil spirits howling in unison in the depths of hell!

The huge tentacle, which had been bitten off by the roots, detached from the main body. Like a giant python with its head severed, it still writhed wildly with its remaining instincts, spitting out foul blood and crashing heavily onto the mountain rocks, splashing mud everywhere!

The pain of severed limbs completely enraged the overlord of the lake!
The main body of the Netherworld trembled violently, and thick black gas spewed out from the gaps in the thick carapace covering its back!

The remaining enormous tentacles, like a completely crazed demonic dragon, were no longer orderly and, with a ferocious rage capable of destroying everything, lashed, coiled, and pierced towards the unsteady Yinglong!

Each strike carried an overwhelming force, whipping the air and creating a series of sonic booms!
The hard rocks on the mountaintop shattered and collapsed like tofu under the lash of these tentacles!
The restraints on Yinglong's right wing suddenly loosened, but the excruciating pain and sense of imbalance from the severe injury to its left wing caused its massive body to stagger!
Faced with this frenzied and relentless attack, it could only rely on its powerful hind legs to maneuver and dodge among the limited rocks on the mountaintop!
The enormous tail, like a giant whip splitting a mountain, lashed out with a piercing whistling sound, striking the tip of an incoming tentacle and deflecting it to the side! The strong neck, covered in bronze scales, swung violently, using its incredibly hard forehead to meet the bone spike at the tip of another stabbing tentacle head-on!

"clang!!!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing! Sparks flying everywhere! Several scales on Yinglong's forehead shattered, oozing pale golden blood, but the sharp bone spikes at the tip of its tentacle were also snapped off by Yinglong's incredibly hard skull! Fragments shot out!
However, there were too many tentacles! The attacks were too dense! A cunning tentacle slid silently along the ground like a venomous snake, and just as Yinglong was dodging the blows from above and kicking with its hind legs, it suddenly wrapped around the lower leg of its right hind leg that was supporting its body!
"Roar!" Yinglong roared, trying to break free!
But even more tentacles, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed in!

A stalk wrapped around its relatively vulnerable neck!
Two enormous talons coiled around its still-capable wingtip!

The Netherworld was actually trying to use the same trick again, to use this terrifying death entanglement to completely bind, drag down, and pull the overlord of the sky into the icy waters it ruled!
Just then, Yinglong's vertical pupils, burning with molten gold rage, suddenly locked onto the icy lake below! The massive, mountain-like body of the Nether Abyss was exposed on the relatively shallow, broken ice sheet due to its frenzied attack! The area where its body, covered in a thick shell of silt, was in contact with the water was violently heaving with its movements! Black lake water continuously poured in and out from the gaps in its shell!

A thought flashed through Yinglong's mind, which was filled with violent killing intent, like lightning!

It gave up struggling! It even gave up defending itself! It let those thick tentacles tightly wrap around its neck, wing claws, and hind legs! A sharp pain shot through it, and the marks from the strangulation were deeply embedded in its scales! Yinglong let out a roar that suppressed its pain, but in its molten gold vertical pupils, a resolute light that was almost insane burned!

It took a deep breath, its already massive chest bulging like a bellows! The bluish-gray scales all over its body instantly tightened, radiating a blazing light, as if boundless power was being compressed and condensed within it! Then, its only remaining, still controllable, strong left hind leg, and its long tail, which resembled a giant bronze whip, simultaneously erupted with earth-shattering power!

"boom!!!"

It no longer tried to break free from the entanglement, but instead dragged the several enormous tentacles that were tightly binding its body, as well as the incredibly heavy body of the Abyss that was connected to the other end of the tentacles, and resolutely leaped off the steepest cliff edge of Haixin Mountain near the ice lake—towards the deep water area filled with huge sharp stone cones below!
A suicidal attack!

The Abyss clearly hadn't anticipated this insane move! By the time it realized Yinglong's intentions, its massive, mountain-like body had already been dragged off balance by Yinglong! The tentacles wrapped around Yinglong's body became chains connecting the two!

"No—!!!" Among the remaining martial artists on the frozen lake below, someone let out a terrified and desperate scream.

Two enormous figures, as large as mountains, like intertwined meteorites, plummeted from the sky, hundreds of feet high, down into the deep, frigid waters filled with jagged, sharp stone spikes!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The sound of the wind in my ears turned into the shrieks of a vengeful ghost.

Gravity pulled the two colossal objects, accelerating them! Accelerating them even further!
"boom--!!!!!!!!"

A terrifying impact, indescribable in its deafening roar, echoed throughout Qinghai Lake! It was as if the heavens had collapsed and crashed to the earth!
At the point of impact, the solid ice layer, several meters thick, shattered instantly into billions of glittering dust particles, just like a fragile glass mirror!

A huge water pit with a diameter of over tens of meters appeared out of nowhere!
The murky lake water, mixed with ice chips, mud, and stone cones shattered into dust, shot straight into the sky like erupting volcanic lava!

It formed a turbid column of water connecting heaven and earth!

The violent shockwave spread wildly in a ring along the lake surface, turning the ice field upside down as if it were being plowed by an invisible giant plow. Countless huge ice blocks were lifted up, thrown into the air, and violently collided with each other! The ice sheet within a radius of tens of feet was completely shattered by this impact!

As far as the eye could see, there were rolling giant waves, floating ice shards, and pervasive water mist!

Above the boiling, murky water.

The massive body of Yinglong burst forth with all its power the moment it fell into the water, enduring the intense discomfort and stagnation caused by the biting cold and the corrosive spiritual energy of the Gui water, and flapped its wings upwards with all its might!

The bronze-colored scales made a screeching sound as they were washed by the cold lake water!
The mud tentacles wrapped around its neck, wing claws, and hind legs endured unimaginable recoil force upon impact with the water. Two of the thinnest tendrils groaned under the strain, and Yinglong struggled violently.
"Bang! Bang!"

The two tough tentacles snapped at the base!
Dark red, viscous fluid gushed out wildly! Yinglong let out a roar that was both painful and liberating. Using the strength gained from breaking free of its restraints, its massive body, like a wounded shark, suddenly darted toward the surface of the water!

As for Mingyuan, it bore the full force of the impact! Its massive, mountain-like body slammed into the hard rock bed at the bottom of the lake like a giant hammer, and the thick carapace covering its back emitted an extremely dull and loud sound, with several fine cracks spreading on the surface of the carapace!
Even more deadly were the enormous stone cones that covered the bottom of the lake, like a forest of sharp knives!
Under the terrifying impact force, these incredibly hard stone cones pierced into the relatively soft, mud-covered abdomen and lower body of the Abyss like spears!

"Pfft! Sizzle—!"

A series of muffled thuds echoed as flesh pierced through the water! Several of the largest stone spikes were deeply embedded in the Abyss's body! Thick, dark green fluid mixed with black lake water gushed from the massive wounds! Although not fatal, the intense trauma and the excruciating pain from the icy chill caused the Abyss to let out even more shrill and frantic howls! The underwater world instantly erupted like a boiling pot, the enormous serpentine body twisting and struggling wildly, churning up a torrent of silt!

Yinglong bursts forth from the water!

It sent up a towering column of water!
It hovered in the air, only a few dozen feet above the water. Its left wing was charred and tattered, constantly dripping viscous liquid corroded by venom and pale golden blood. The base of its right wing, its neck, and its hind legs were covered with deep bruises, strangulation marks, and broken scales, with pale golden dragon blood meandering along the wounds.

It was breathing heavily, and the scalding white steam condensed into frost in the cold air.

The molten gold vertical pupils stared intently at the churning, roaring waters below, burning with weariness and pain, but even more so with an unyielding will to protect.

The murky water below surged violently, like a boiling inkstone.

The severed tentacles of the Netherworld lashed wildly in the water, emitting silent howls and fury.

The remaining tentacles stirred the mud, attempting to pull out the massive stone spike embedded in its body. Two points of abyssal light pierced through the murky water, locked onto the bronze figure in the air that had inflicted such heavy damage, filled with resentment, savagery, and a hint of... a frenzied killing intent born of utter rage!
Water jets fell, and icy rain poured down.

One dragon, one monster; one in the sky, one in the water.

Separated by the broken ice lake, and by the pervasive stench of blood and death, they once again stand in distant confrontation.

A brief period of deathly silence enveloped the frozen lake, which had been transformed into a purgatory.

Only the roar of giant waves crashing against the shattered ice, and... the seven-colored halo on the mountaintop still shimmering softly and persistently in the wind and snow.

Feng Jiuxiao slowly took out the Heaven-Shaking Bow!

He's now the fisherman!
It no longer matters who is the crane and who is the clam!

The fierce battle between Yinglong and Mingyuan had exhausted most of their strength!
However, the moment Feng Jiuxiao caught sight of the martial arts heroes, the Heaven-Shaking Bow was slowly lowered again!

Killing the two giants at this point won't be difficult!
But why kill now?

Killing Yinglong would allow them to take advantage of the situation?
*Screech!* A cold laugh.
He stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the play.

He patiently waited for the two monsters to settle their score!

It's not just about winning or losing, it's about life and death!
Regardless of who lives or dies, Feng Jiuxiao is willing to wait!
