Douluo Continent: My name is Yang Jian, and I achieved sainthood through my physical body

Even though she acknowledged Yang Jian's strength, she still maintained her dignity and was unwilling to make the first move, thus giving up the initiative.

Yang Jian glanced at her indifferently and said calmly, "You'll regret this."

Chapter 278 continues!

Gu Yuena did not respond, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, forming a faint arc.

This expression clearly shows her attitude; her mind is made up and she will not change it in the slightest.

Seeing that she was determined to do so, Yang Jian stopped trying to persuade her and prepared to take action.

He took a small step forward and slowly raised his right palm.

The next instant, the three-pointed double-edged sword appeared out of thin air and landed steadily in his hand.

A silvery-white light instantly covered the blade, the cold edge exuding a chilling killing intent, and the ancient patterns on the blade lit up one by one, shimmering with light.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from this divine weapon, Gu Yuena's pupils subconsciously contracted slightly.

She could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within the blade, and a barely perceptible unease quietly began to grow in her heart, replacing her original absolute confidence.

My initial confidence that I could easily withstand three moves has begun to waver slightly.

She subconsciously tightened her fingers, and the elemental power around her quietly circulated, preparing for defense in advance.

Without hesitation, Yang Jian raised his hand and swung his sword, his first move aimed directly at Gu Yuena.

A condensed and pure silver-white blade aura shot out from the blade, moving at extreme speed, instantly tearing through the space between the two and heading straight for Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena dared not delay. She immediately raised her right arm, mobilized the abundant elemental power around her, and quickly condensed a thick elemental shield in front of her.

The next second, the blade energy slammed into the elemental shield.

At the moment of impact, Gu Yuena felt as if she had been slammed head-on by a giant beast charging at full speed.

The immense impact traveled through his body along the shield, instantly causing a ring of fine cracks to appear on its surface.

Her body was uncontrollably pushed backward, and with each step she took, the ground beneath her feet would collapse, and the soil would spread outward and bulge.

After staggering back several steps, she finally managed to regain her balance and stand upright.

My entire arm felt slightly numb, and my palms felt sore and swollen. My blood and energy were churning slightly.

Before she could fully catch her breath, Yang Jian's second stab came right after her.

Before the shockwaves of the first strike had completely dissipated, a second, even more ferocious, silver-white blade of energy attacked once more.

The blade energy slammed heavily onto her newly formed elemental barrier, and a muffled boom exploded outwards, causing the air in the entire forest to tremble slightly.

An even stronger impact swept over her, and Gu Yuena's numbness intensified instantly, causing her legs to weaken slightly.

She stumbled and fell backward several steps, her back slamming heavily against a thick, ancient tree.

The thick tree trunk trembled violently, branches and leaves fell in a rustling sound, and the tree trunk was dented.

After a brief respite, Gu Yuena immediately adjusted her state and dared not underestimate Yang Jian's offensive.

Faced with Yang Jian's third strike, she no longer conjured only a single layer of barrier.

A massive amount of elemental power was frantically mobilized, layering up in front of him to form three thick elemental shields that blocked attacks.

The third silver-white blade of energy pierced through the air, its power still incredibly formidable.

The blade energy pierced through the first and second layers of shields in succession. Finally, after completely shattering the third layer of shields, its power was exhausted, turning into countless tiny white specks of light that dissipated into the air.

After three moves, Yang Jian sheathed his sword and stood quietly in place, without continuing his attack.

He raised his eyes and glanced calmly at Gu Yuena opposite him, waiting for her reaction.

Gu Yuena's fingers, hanging at her sides, curled slightly and tightened, her fingertips still trembling uncontrollably.

She looked down at her numb and trembling hands, then looked up at Yang Jian, who was calm and unharmed.

After a moment of silence, she suppressed her shock and spoke in a deep voice, her tone still carrying a hint of stubbornness: "Continue."

Although she was at a disadvantage in three consecutive moves and her body was already feeling unwell, she still refused to admit defeat.

Her dignity and pride, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, prevented her from easily bowing her head.

Without saying anything more, Yang Jian immediately raised his sword and resumed the fight.

He took a step forward, his body instantly accelerating, covering the distance of dozens of feet between the two in a flash, and appearing directly in front of Gu Yuena.

He slashed horizontally with his three-pointed, double-edged sword. The speed and power of this slash were several times stronger than the previous three moves.

The sharp blade blocked all of Gu Yuena's space to dodge, leaving her with no way to avoid it.

Gu Yuena's expression changed slightly; in her haste, she didn't have time to fully condense a shield.

She could only immediately raise her arms, cross them in front of her, and forcefully take the blow.

The moment the blade struck the point where her arms met, a terrifying impact erupted.

Gu Yuena's body was as if hit by a high-speed cannonball, and she was sent flying backward at high speed without control.

Her body crashed into three or four sturdy ancient trees, snapping them one after another with the crisp sound of breaking trunks.

Finally, she fell heavily onto the ground amidst broken branches and fallen leaves, her clothes disheveled, with several shallow wounds on her body, from which blood slowly seeped out.

Gu Yuena slowly sat up, supporting herself on the ground, and raised her hand to press the bleeding wound under her ribs.

Looking at the warm bloodstains on her palm, her expression turned completely serious.

The previous contempt and wishful thinking have completely disappeared, replaced by utmost seriousness and vigilance.

She no longer underestimated her opponent. She slowly rose from the ground, her posture still upright, without the slightest hunchback.

Yang Jian stood quietly not far away, watching her stubbornly get up, without taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, patiently waiting for her to adjust her state.

Seeing that she still showed no sign of admitting defeat, Yang Jian raised his hand again and gripped the three-pointed double-edged sword tightly.

With this strike, he subtly increased his power, and the silver-white light on the blade rapidly gathered and condensed.

A dazzling white light condensed on the blade, its explosive power fully charged, instantly filling the entire space with a sense of oppression.

Yang Jian took a step forward, and his sword aura followed suit. The extremely refined sword energy instantly tore through the void and landed precisely in front of Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena had already prepared her strength in advance, and the elemental barrier in front of her had just taken shape when it was instantly shattered by this powerful blade energy.

The shattered barrier dissipated into countless points of light, and the remaining impact propelled Gu Yuena backward several feet.

This time, she could no longer suppress the surging blood and qi within her body, and a trickle of blood slowly spilled from the corner of her mouth.

His steady breathing became completely disordered, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his breathing became noticeably rapid.

But the colorful light in her eyes remained bright, showing no sign of fading, and she still refused to give up.

Yang Jian sheathed his sword and stood still, looking at her calmly, and asked, "Want to continue?"

Gu Yuena did not answer; her silence was her answer.

The next second, she suddenly raised her hands, no longer holding back her strength, and the elemental power around her surged wildly.

Endless elements of heaven and earth converged around her, and layers of energy halos surrounded her body, flowing slowly.

Her body began to rapidly swell and grow larger, and beneath her fair skin, silvery-white dragon scales reappeared and spread.

The cool white robes were stretched open, and the enormous dragon body quickly took shape.

Chapter 279 Extremely Terrifying

In the exclusive battle zone deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, the lingering heat of the battle had not completely dissipated, and the entire space was still trembling slightly.

Just then, the air currents of the entire world suddenly dropped, and an extremely oppressive dragon's might suddenly descended, instantly covering this enclosed forest area.

The silver-white dragon's form reappeared out of thin air; it was none other than the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, who had just briefly left the scene.

The dragon's body that appeared this time was smaller than its true form that was previously revealed in the underground cave, which can be considered as a deliberate attempt to conceal its size.

Even in its shrunken form, it was still ridiculously large. The fierce dragon aura surrounding its entire body made the grass and trees in the entire forest tremble and bow their heads. Any ordinary soul beast would be paralyzed on the ground by this pressure alone, unable to move.

The enormous dragon wings slowly unfurled, without the slightest haste, yet carrying an extreme sense of power, forcefully obscuring a large portion of the sky above.

The sunlight that had been filtering through the branches and leaves was instantly blocked out, and the entire battle area suddenly became dark. Only the silvery white light flowing from the Silver Dragon King's body remained, standing out starkly in the world.

The dragon gently raised its head, its mouth slightly open, and without any extra movement, energy began to rapidly gather deep within its mouth. Multicolored energies converged and merged at lightning speed, and in a short instant, a dazzling pillar of colorful energy was formed.

As soon as the pillar of light was fully formed, a terrifying aura of destruction spread outwards, sweeping wildly across the entire battle space.

The surrounding air was torn apart and distorted by this force, the soil and gravel on the ground were all suspended in the air, and the ancient tree trunks around were creaking and groaning under the weight, and could break and collapse at any moment.

The charging process was extremely short. Gu Yuena didn't hesitate at all. The moment the energy was completely stabilized, a colorful beam of light, carrying terrifying power capable of destroying the world, rushed straight towards Yang Jian below.

This attack was delivered without any restraint; it was a truly deadly move. Anyone struck head-on would not only be killed, but the entire forest would be instantly leveled.

Faced with this terrifying attack that could destroy vast swathes of forests and instantly kill the vast majority of titled Douluo, Yang Jian remained remarkably calm and composed throughout.

He stood quietly in place, his feet firmly planted on the ground, motionless from beginning to end, without even the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.

He gripped the three-pointed, double-edged sword tightly in one hand, his arm muscles slightly tense. His movements were slow yet steady as he gently raised the sword upwards, neither dodging nor evading, directly confronting the deadly beam of light. There were no fancy moves, no unnecessary charging; it was simply the most straightforward and pure form of head-on confrontation.

At the moment the two extreme forces collided, there was no ear-piercing explosion, only a deep, heavy thud that reverberated in all directions.

The imposing beam of colored light that had dominated the entire arena was actually cleaved in two neatly by the three-pointed double-edged sword right in the middle.

The two split colored beams of light flew past Yang Jian's left and right sides at high speed, carrying violent destructive power, and rushed towards the areas on either side of the forest.

The next second, two beams of light slammed into the ground, followed by two deafening explosions. Vast swathes of trees within sight instantly collapsed and burst into flames, thick trunks charred and snapped, and leaves and branches burned to ashes.

The hard ground was violently blasted open into two huge craters, the soil at the bottom of the craters was scalding hot and smoking, and debris flew everywhere.

In a mere instant, the once pristine forest battle area was transformed into a scene of utter devastation. The ground was riddled with potholes and ravines, littered with broken ancient trees, swirling mud, and scattered pebbles—everywhere bore the horrific marks of the battle.

Yang Jian, who was at the very center of the explosion and attack, remained firmly in his original position, his feet not moving an inch, his posture as upright as a pine tree.

The fierce and violent aftershocks of energy blew wildly, making his robes flutter and the hem of his clothes fly wildly, but they couldn't even shake his figure in the slightest, or make him sway his shoulders.

When her all-out, deadly attack missed, Gu Yuena didn't hesitate for a moment and gave Yang Jian no chance to catch his breath. She immediately switched to combat mode and launched a close-range assault.

The massive silver dragon suddenly swooped down, breaking the sound barrier and creating a howling, ear-piercing gale.

The enormous dragon claws were fully extended, their sharp tips wreathed in rich, colorful elemental light, each claw blade possessing immense destructive power.

With a domineering and violent gust of wind, the enormous dragon claw, carrying immense force, slammed down directly towards Yang Jian's body. The attack was swift, fierce, and extremely domineering, clearly aimed at severely injuring its opponent.
