Alone and Infinite

Then, with a spray of blood on the tip of the spear, Li Xia used the force of the horizontal cut to turn around in mid-air, and his aerial maneuver instantly erupted.

The spear deftly spun around the waist and aimed back at the steel dragon.

A violent wind suddenly spread out from around the steel dragon's body, pushing Li Xia far away.

【你已对钢龙造成了8%的伤害（2%普通伤害+1.5%劲增伤+1.5%真炁伤害+3%器官损伤）】

[Due to head injuries, Steel Dragon's control over airflow decreased by 10%]

The spear danced in his hand, the swirling wind scattering the surrounding aftershocks.

8% is the damage dealt when the enemy is completely unprepared and you unleash your full power.

Can fight!

Steel Dragon's azure eyes shifted slightly downwards, as if he could see the wounds on his face.

Forest's gaze was filled with anger, which quickly transformed into pure killing intent.

"brush--!"

A violent wind field opened up, and the winds gathered together, forming wisps of water that flowed around the body.

Wind Armor!

The black cat behind raised its paws high, extending three sharp claws, and its furry head tapped out a rhythm.

Once the claws were fully retracted, a thin current of electricity suddenly surged from the single horn on the Qilin helmet.

A powerful electronic music track suddenly exploded atop the mountain.

The steel dragon, which was about to attack, was startled by the sudden sound, and its forward lunge paused involuntarily.

opportunity!

Li Xia's figure disappeared again, reappearing in front of the steel dragon, controlling the distance with exceptional precision.

He stopped a little over a meter away from triggering the wind armor, and his spear slammed down on his head with a simple, unadorned, forceful strike.

“Ding——!”

Another loud metallic clang rang out as the specially adjusted gun barrel slammed into the steel dragon's head.

One of the spurs pierced the skull, and the two feather-like horns that were already broken were bent even more by the impact.

The steel dragon was struck so hard that its head inevitably slumped downwards, and even the wind armor wrapped around its body began to become disordered.

A glint of light flashed in Li Xia's eyes—a flaw!

The spearhead embedded in the steel dragon head turned into a point of light. Li Xia immediately retracted the spear shaft and shook his arms.

The scattered points of light re-condense as the arm retracts and gathers power, and even during the forward thrust, those points of light are still used like swallows returning to their nests.

When the night silently broke through the chaotic wind armor, it had already been restored.

With a teeth-grinding crunch, the spear sank five or six inches before coming to a halt.

At this moment, Li Xia actually missed the smooth feel of stabbing the Qilin. The Steel Dragon—it's really hard!

It looks exactly like a lump of iron, as if even its skeleton is made of metal!

【你已对钢龙造成了5%的伤害（1%普通伤害+0.5%劲增伤+1.5%真炁伤害+2%器官损伤）】

Li Xia decisively let go, retreating rapidly to the ground. The silence of the night dissipated, chasing after Li Xia.

Sure enough, as soon as they retreated, the steel dragon roared angrily, gathering wind armor and creating a raging storm.

This Steel Dragon doesn't seem to know much about fighting; its behavior is quite dull.

Compared to Nergigante and Tempered Kirin, two monsters with ridiculously high combat intelligence who fight every day.

Steel Dragon is like a greenhorn!

While waiting for the storm to subside, Li Xia thought about it again and realized it made sense.

With its body skin measuring 7, the Steel Dragon's teeth are harder than an Elder Dragon's, and it also possesses the ability to control wind, which is even more effective against larger Elder Dragons.

Other ancient dragons would be crazy to try and gnaw on this 'steel egg'; most of them would just spit on it, curse it as bad luck, and leave.

Maybe the Steel Dragon lived for hundreds of years without ever actually fighting!

Li Xia's mood suddenly brightened.

Since entering the world of Monster Hunter, my skill limits have become somewhat inadequate and powerless. After all, no matter how strong my skill limits are, they are only effective when fighting humans or creatures with a very similar body structure to humans.

Fortunately, at the end of skill, besides moves, there is also 'strength', which can be considered an improvement.

Against giant monsters like the Ancient Dragon, energy-based techniques such as 'blade aura' and 'sword energy' are more effective.

Therefore, we still need techniques that allow energy to be released externally!

As the wind subsided, the steel dragon's body gradually became clearer.

The steel-like dragon was exhaling heavy breaths from its nostrils, and its azure eyes seemed to be turning red.

Are you angry?

Chapter 168 Regional Overlord Xia

The wind howled, and the clouds in the sky were swept together by the wind, forming a huge vortex of cloud that slowly rotated.

The wind howled all around, and the pterosaurs and birds living nearby spread their wings, without even flapping them.

All they had to do was spread their wings, and the wind would carry them into the air, so these pterosaurs and birds soared high in the sky with the wind.

The hoarse, shrill cries continued incessantly.

The source of these strange phenomena was the steel dragon roaring to the sky not far away.

Li Xia twirled the spear with his fingers, held the blade horizontally in front of him, and wiped away the remaining debris from the blade with the crook of his arm.

It turns out that anger can make you stronger and able to endure greater pain.

But anger won't teach you how to fight immediately.

Entering a state of rage, the Steel Dragon only wanted to use the wind to shred the lowly reptile in front of it into the finest blood foam, and let it drift away with the wind.

So it used all its tricks in front of Li Xia.

Result: 0

The prelude to each movement is as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark.

When a storm breaths, it must spread its wings, inhale deeply, and then exhale by stretching its head.

A wind-pressure bomb must fly into the sky, condense a high-pressure wind mass, and then be launched.

Li Xia recalled that even a single Spikes attack from Nergigante could be incorporated into ordinary movements, seamlessly blending defense and offense.

The battle-hardened Qilin has taken its innate abilities to a whole new level. Even without understanding anything, it observes special phenomena and considers making them its own.

The ultimate skill is also perfectly integrated with other skills.

They would even rather forgo the high damage of Thunder Stomp and directly use Ground Stomp to control the field and connect with their ultimate skill.

In comparison, Steel Dragon is too weak, possessing only a powerful physical body and a strong ability to manipulate nature.

However, they lacked the corresponding combat capabilities.

Li Xia suddenly shifted a few steps to the side, leaving a lifelike afterimage in the spot.

The wind pressure bullet shattered the afterimage in Steel Dragon's expectant gaze, and the expectation in Steel Dragon's eyes turned into annoyance and confusion.

Li Xia shook his head. If the steel dragon hadn't been so tough, the battle would probably have ended long ago.

"hold head high----!"

The steel dragon spread its wings again, its rage scorching its reason. This young steel dragon had never imagined that one day it would be helpless against a small insect.

The vortex formed by the clouds overhead was spinning faster and faster.

The already strong winds became even more explosive, spreading out like a storm. The gale that had only covered the mountaintop was now showing signs of turning into a storm under the control of the steel dragon.

Animals living at the foot of the mountain ran around in panic, their biological instincts telling them that a terrible natural disaster was about to strike.

Li Xia suddenly raised his head, frowned, and guessed what Steel Dragon wanted to do.

It wants to cause a natural disaster!

Has this steel dragon gone mad?

Putting aside whether the resulting natural disaster is useful to oneself, causing a natural disaster in the Elder Dragon's Recess, where Elder Dragons gather, will attract other Elder Dragons.

This is the habitat of Elder Dragons. Other Elder Dragons usually ignore 'Steel Egg', but if Steel Egg tries to destroy the habitat...

No ancient dragon would tolerate that.

Once the other ancient dragons were provoked, they charged in.

Sure enough, an angry roar suddenly came from the Crystal Lands, flames shot into the sky from the distant lava zone, and the volcano roared and spewed thick smoke.

The Nergigante of the Crystal Cluster stood at the highest point, its thorns bursting forth, its wings spread, and it roared to the sky.

The ancient dragon is issuing a warning, warning the steel dragon not to try to cause a natural disaster here.

But the Steel Dragon, which was on the verge of losing its mind, only wanted to use the strongest power it could unleash to destroy the reptile in front of it.

But they never considered that the reason why 'natural disasters' are so powerful is because of the almost irresistible harm they cause to ordinary people.

There is absolutely no threat to someone with Li Xia's top-tier global power.

The ancient dragon's stern roars and demonstrative energy bursts in the distance grew increasingly rapid, and Nergigante even began to flap its wings and fly into the sky, preparing to fly towards them.

In Li Xia's mind, Nergigante, Teostra, Lunastra, and sometimes Velkhana would appear in the Dragon Crystal in search of special ores to maintain their shells.

These ancient dragons are locked in a fierce battle here, fighting with fire, frost, storms, and a berserker.

No, we can't let the steel dragon cause a natural disaster!

Li Xia's gaze suddenly sharpened, and his left hand reached for the holster at his waist, his fingers gripping the cold handle of the Doom.

The moment the ferocious flintlock pistol was drawn, faint wails, cries, and sinister laughter echoed all around.

A blurry black shadow suddenly rose up behind Li Xia.

The shadowy figure seemed to be suffering greatly, and its appearance was remarkably similar to that of the Sword Demon.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xia raised his gun and aimed at the steel dragon in the sky, which seemed a bit far away.

But when Li Xia flew over, he looked at the surging air currents and gales surrounding the steel dragon's body and his expression became somewhat serious.

Just then, the clouds in the sky suddenly lit up, and the electrical charge gathered in the air finally reached a certain density.

A flash of lightning disappeared in an instant, followed by a thunderbolt that struck the steel dragon.

The steel dragon, whose entire body, even its bones, is made of metal, is the highest conductor.

“Ahhhhh!”

In an instant, the storm stirred up by the steel dragon scattered into an incredibly raging gale, blowing in all directions.

The storm was so strong that it even blew away the clouds in the sky.

The blocked sunlight shone again on the mountain peaks, and in an instant, the sky was cloudless!

Even the wind stopped, and the steel dragon in the sky remained frozen in mid-air, its body instinctively gathering wind to try to hold it up.

But the entire dragon was paralyzed, and the wind alone was not enough to support its heavy body.

After a brief stalemate, the steel dragon, its body covered in dense electric sparks, plummeted straight down like a bird without wings.

[Follower 'Black Charcoal' Aura Skill: Lightning Field Activated]

[Due to a special celestial phenomenon, swift lightning and natural thunderstorms were mixed, the steel dragon's relevant resistances were calculated.]

This damage has been increased by 150%, dealing 28% lightning damage (internal damage) to the Kushala Daora.

[The steel dragon is paralyzed for 5 seconds]

Good grief, the lightning resistance is negative?

"boom!"
