Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

Although Zhanlong was already at its wit's end, it became even more swift and ferocious as it entered a desperate battle.

"We need to find an opportunity to stop its ferocious offensive and then inflict heavy damage!"

After dodging wave after wave of heavy tail blade strikes, Su Yi quickly began to think.

As the saying goes, one should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane after a second attempt and eventually be exhausted after a third. The series of powerful attacks were becoming too much for Zhanlong to handle, and the offensive gradually slowed down.

"Chance!"

Su Yi acted decisively, first using a smoke bomb to obscure Zhanlong's vision, then rushing up to it, raising the projectile and firing a flashbang at its face, before hoisting his greatsword to charge up.

Zhanlong roared and took a step back, startled by the sudden flash of light.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yi seized the opportunity to gather his strength and delivered a powerful sword strike.

clang!

The greatsword, gleaming with metallic luster, struck the hard armor on the dragon's cheeks, which was used to grind its tail blade, producing a crisp metallic clang.

Zhanlong was forced back a step by the blow, but then let out a low roar, swung his head to knock away the greatsword, and quickly lunged forward. Su Yi immediately held the greatsword in front of him and activated the Dragon God Pill to block the extremely fast attack. At the same time, he used the momentum to grip the sword again and charge up his strength!

The dragon, whose bite had been blocked, shook its head. Its vision was somewhat blurred due to the flashbang, but it determined Su Yi's approximate location by its forward bite. So, it stubbornly stretched out its head to bite again.

Su Yi frowned, leaned forward with a Iron Mountain, and at the same time, Ryujinmaru used the Ultimate Impact to protect Su Yi as he crashed into Zhanlong.

With a thud, the two worked together to repel the dragon-slaying attack. Su Yi took a deep breath and gripped his sword again to gather strength.

The repeated setbacks left Zhanlong feeling dizzy, but this seemed to ignite its strange competitive spirit. Zhanlong let out a low growl, flames erupting from its throat, and once again lunged forward to bite.

"Again?!" Su Yi blurted out.

However, because of the use of the ultimate impact, Ryujinmaru was in a stiff state and unable to use any moves. At this time, Su Yi's true charged slash was ready to be released. The dragon's bite was fast and urgent, and it would probably be too late to interrupt the charge to dodge.

Just as Su Yi gritted his teeth, preparing to unleash a powerful True Charged Slash, Lu Cao's voice rang out: "Su Yi, I'm here, meow!"

Su Yi felt a gust of wind behind him. Dew grass rushed up the greatsword to Su Yi's shoulder, then leaped high into the air. At the same time, he swung his katana, which was filled with cold air, rapidly, shooting out an ice spike with each swing. Five spikes in a row struck the vicinity of Zhanlong's eyes with a clanging sound.

The shattered, cold ice crystals forced Zhanlong to turn its head slightly, slowing its attack. Su Yi seized this opportunity, roared, and swung his sword down hard!

Bah!

The blade slammed heavily into Zhanlong's head, and amidst the flying debris, Zhanlong's movements were completely interrupted. Su Yi seized the opportunity, using the greatsword that had been slashing on the ground as a fulcrum to flip forward, stepping forward and unleashing all his strength to swing the sword!

"Slay the dog! Eat my true beast!"

Bah!

Click!

This sword strike, without using any techniques or amplifying the power of the Dragon God Pill, was Su Yi's purest strength. This strike directly shattered a large section of the carapace. Zhanlong cried out in pain, staggering back several steps, panting heavily, and constantly drooling with blood mixed with saliva.

"Phew!" Su Yi let out a long breath, then focused his eyes on Zhanlong, holding the sword on his back with one hand, and sprinted towards Zhanlong.

"Woo-hoo." Zhanlong shook its dizzy head, then bent its tail blade and held it horizontally in front of its eyes, opened its mouth and bit down, grinding violently.

Seeing this, Su Yi accelerated again, charging at full speed. When he was close enough to Zhanlong, he gripped the hilt with both hands, stepped forward, twisted his body, and used all the muscle power in his body to sweep the greatsword, performing a leaping slash that was unstoppable.

Bah!

The sweeping greatsword struck the dragon's tail, the powerful impact instantly disrupting the balance between the biting and tail-swinging forces, forcibly interrupting the grinding motion, and causing fine cracks to appear on the tail blade.

Su Yi took a deep breath, gathered his strength, gripped the greatsword, and was adjusting his posture when Zhanlong suddenly lunged forward and bit the blade of the greatsword.

"Holy crap!" Su Yi exclaimed in surprise, "That's my sword!"

"Dragon God Maru, Iron Hoof Ray!"

The greatsword gleamed with a metallic sheen, and then a torrent of silver energy blasted directly from the tip of the sword into the mouth of the dragon-slaying beast.

The massive energy impact caused the dragon's head to tilt backward, but it held tightly onto its icy giant teeth, and Su Yi, who was gripping the greatsword, was inevitably lifted off the ground.

boom!

The Iron Hoof Ray caused an explosion in the mouth of the Dragon Slayer, causing it to lose its balance and fall sideways. However, the Dragon Slayer became even more ferocious at this moment, still biting the sword tightly, intending to smash Su Yi to the ground and then use its body to press him down.

In the critical moment, Su Yi shouted, "Dragon God Pill, draw it!"

"Chirp!"

Ryujinmaru responded in a deep voice, using his Ghost-type ability to activate the mechanism inside the outer blade. Then, a series of mechanism activation sounds rang out, and Ryujinmaru detached from the "scabbard." Freed from its weight, Ryujinmaru instantly carried Su Yi into the air, escaping its fate of being crushed.

"Dragon God Pill, let's go!" Su Yi adjusted his posture, gripped the Dragon God Pill tightly, and raised it high above his head.

hum!

The light of the Holy Sword enveloped the sword and filled its surface, forming a radiant giant sword of energy.

Ryujinmaru released its levitation power in accordance with its will, and Su Yi began to fall, simultaneously swinging Ryujinmaru downwards.

"Deadly strike! Dragon Ascension Sword!"

In the moment of crisis, Zhanlong pushed off the ground with its powerful hind legs and slid its body forward, dodging the fatal blow aimed at its head and taking the damage with its own body.

Click!

Another cloud of debris flew everywhere; at this point, there wasn't a single piece of good carapace left on Zhanlong's entire body.

"The response is very fast!"

Su Yi cursed under his breath and quickly released the Lavasioth Greatsword from the Hunting Guide.

clang!

The heavy blade sank into the soil. Su Yi turned the Dragon God Pill's blade and thrust it into the outer blade. With a sound of a mechanism being activated, the two combined in a second.

On the other side, Zhanlong, using its last bit of strength, stood up, flung the ice-tipped giant tooth in its mouth into the bushes, then bit its tail blade and quickly slashed it, igniting the tail blade.

Its steps were somewhat unsteady, and it walked with a limp, but its eyes remained defiant.

"It seems you want a real swordsman duel." Seeing the Dragon Slayer's tail blade twitching, Su Yi changed his grip on the sword. At the same time, Ryujinmaru used his secret power, and the Lava Dragon Greatsword lit up with a red light, with sparks swirling around it.

"Roar!"

Zhanlong let out a hoarse roar, took two steps forward, leaped up, twisted his body, and swung his tail vertically.

Su Yi dodged with a nimble sidestep, and Zhanlong twisted its body and swung its tail, unleashing another heavy slash.

A moment before that, Su Yi took a deep breath, took a large step back, and used the momentum to lift the greatsword and gather his strength.

When are you greatsword players most nervous?

The next moment, the tail blade struck a meter in front of Su Yi, splashing dirt onto his armor. He could feel the intense heat emanating from the tail blade.

Woo!

The greatsword slashed towards the crimson tail blade with a whooshing sound.

Boom boom boom...!

A series of explosions rang out the instant the blade struck the tail, and the flashes of fire resembled red lotuses blooming in an instant.

Click, click, click!

Bah!

The tiny cracks on the tail blade continued to expand and spread during the explosion, until at the end of the final explosion, the blade, forged from various minerals, broke in two.

Boom!

The broken piece of the tail blade was thrown into the air, then flipped and fell, finally embedding its tip in the soil and standing upright on the ground.

Zhanlong breathed heavily, staring in disbelief at his broken tail blade.

On one hand, it was shocked that its proud blade had been severed, a blade it had never broken before. On the other hand, wasn't the explosive slash of the Zorah Magdaros Greatsword exactly the same as its explosive tail blade?

This creature actually possesses the power it had worked so hard to acquire?!

"In a duel between swordsmen, the loser breaks his blade!"

"You've already lost, Zhanlong!" Su Yi shouted and charged towards Zhanlong.

The limping Zhanlong was not only physically exhausted and had no strength left, but his fighting spirit had also waned as his proud sword blade was severed.

With Su Yi unleashing another series of strikes, Zhanlong was easily knocked down. He lay on the ground, barely breathing.

"Phew!" Su Yi let out a long breath and immediately threw a capture ball at Zhanlong.

Boom!

The capture ball captured the dragon, causing it to shake violently for a few moments before calming down and finally capturing it completely.

"Success!"

Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the Dragon Slayer Capture Ball, and a smile spread across his face.

Although strictly speaking, a small part of the credit for this battle belongs to Tigrex, he also fully demonstrated his strength and gradually mastered the fighting style of the greatsword during the battle.

Congratulations, congratulations.

Chapter 348 Subduing the Dragon Slayer

Behind the base, in the training ground, at the wooden dummy, two young dragons were driving the dummy around with a look of grievance on their faces.

These two wooden dummy dummies are for training monsters the size of Nargacuga. The two little ones are still too young to reach the legs of the dummy, while Mawile stands to the side carrying a large hammer, swinging the hammer to act as the legs of the dummy and occasionally attacking the lower path of the young Brachydios.
