Chapter 79 One thing subdues another
Chapter 79 One thing subdues another
The grave containing the vengeful spirit of the Wind-Drifting Dragon dissipated, and the Extinction Dragon reappeared before Chen Yan.
His broad wings flapped behind him, summoning a fierce storm to accompany him. The gale blew across his thousands of slightly trembling, jet-black thorns, playing a chilling requiem in the sky.
It gently plucked the strings with the sharp claws of its robust forelimbs, choosing the next listener for its requiem.
Chen Yan and the Nergigante stared at each other, their eyes so intense they seemed to be glowing with a sweet, sticky blood-red light.
Looking at the large demonic horns on its head, and the dragon tilting its head to examine various parts of its body as if it were contemplating how to devour him alive, Chen Yan took a deep breath and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
Noticing the trembling body of the Sakura Rathalos beneath him, he slowly drew the blade of his Flying Dragon Blade [Red Leaf] and rubbed it against the thorns on the Sakura Rathalos's wings. The clear whistling sound of the blade shattered the requiem, and the Sakura Rathalos beneath him gradually calmed down.
The blade was steady and powerful; Chen Yan was not afraid, and neither was the Sakura Rathalos.
Finally, the blade tip was aimed directly at the Nergigante's brow.
"Rush!"
With a roar, the Pink Rathian strained every ounce of its strength, charging forward like a steed leading a valiant knight, its terrifying killing intent seemingly about to topple the heavens.
Seeing that Chen Yan not only did not flee, but even dared to ride the dragon to charge, the playful look in the eyes of the Extinction Dragon faded slightly, and for the first time it looked at him seriously.
He saw no fear in Chen Yan's eyes, only the same overwhelming fighting spirit as last time.
Nergigante suddenly abandoned its flashy but intimidating form and adopted its strongest fighting stance, which it only displays when hunting Elder Dragons.
This means that Chen Yan has the right to die in His strongest battle form.
With a flap of its wings, the Nergigante plummeted downwards, its massive body crashing down, the resulting shockwave transforming into a relentless storm. As it pounced, the muscles in its left arm taut, its claws outstretched, raised to shoulder height.
It's still the same simple and unadorned Nergigante slap.
But this massive slap is enough to tear apart the steel dragon's metal-like skin and smash the volcanic rock that has accumulated on the surface of the lava dragon for hundreds of years.
Its sharp claws tore through the air, slamming down on Chen Yan's head with a wailing, eerie sound.
Chen Yan gently stroked the Sakura Rathalos's neck, and it understood, opening its mouth to let in air, which reacted with all the explosive flames in the Flame Sac, turning into fireballs. Its throat writhed, condensing all the flames into a gigantic fireball.
As the flames changed from orange-red to yellow-white, the Pink Rathian, its mouth and throat charred, unleashed a massive fireball that slammed into the Nergigante, dragging its tail flames behind it. But before the fireball could even hit its head, it was shattered and absorbed by the overtaking orange-red blades.
The Flying Dragon Blade [Red Maple] should absorb the flames of the fire dragon!
The unruly flames were forcibly suppressed by Chen Yan onto the crimson blade, causing the surrounding temperature to soar rapidly. His abdomen, which had just been full, was visibly sinking in, and the converted energy activated the extreme power of the Ember Blade Dragon Slayer.
The Nergigante attack he was about to unleash was also very familiar to Nergigante!
The painful memories of the past made the thorns on half of His body tremble, and the thick left arm of the Destroyer Dragon seemed to have grown even bigger.
Flying Blade Rock Slash VS Nergigante's Full-Power Claw!
The blade and claws made contact for only a moment, and both Nergigante and Chen Yan trembled at the same time, feeling the other's power increase.
After a brief stalemate, the most dangerous struggle began. Despite Chen Yan exerting all his strength, he could not sense the end of the Nergigante's power.
Facing Chen Yan's gritted teeth and perseverance, the Extinction Dragon exerted its strength again, ignoring the blade that had already pierced its claws, and pressed the blade down little by little. Finally, its claws came together, slowly grasping the blade, and then it pulled Chen Yan closer to itself.
The Pink Rathalos's wings almost created afterimages, but it still couldn't avoid being slowly pulled closer.
In the end, Chen Yan was almost face-to-face with the Nergigante.
His gaze swept over the giant horn of the Nergigante, and he saw the slash marks left from the last great battle on its rough surface.
And more traces left on Him by "a certain dragon" and "someone".
"Aotu Na and Cang Lan Xing went way too far, look what they did to my sheep..."
As they spoke, Chen Yan and Nergigante simultaneously extended their free left and right claws.
One is a gentle touch on the scars remaining on His cheek, while the other is an even gentler act of digging out someone's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys from their chest to say hello.
Just as the Nergigante's claws were about to touch Chen Yan's chest, Chen Yan pinched a cute white spike on the Nergigante's nose with two fingers, and with a forceful snap, the finger-length spike fell into his palm.
"I'll break off a thorn from you, just to keep it as a souvenir."
The Nergigante's claws pressed against his chest, and his thin iron armor offered no protection whatsoever.
Just as Nergigante was about to unleash its power on the white spikes in his hand, Chen Yan twisted the hilt of his sword first. The fire dragon flames residing in the blade and the dust from the explosion of the Nergigante Blade triggered a strange reaction.
A series of explosions erupted until the Extinction Dragon could no longer hold onto the sun that was about to be born.
The Pink Rathalos emerged from the smoke and dust first, carrying Chen Yan as it swooped down.
Chen Yan clutched his right shoulder, several black thorns stuck in his arm. A few seconds later, the almost unharmed Nergigante appeared as well, flapping its wings and following closely behind, determined to kill Chen Yan.
Just as it emerged from the dust, several plump insects stuck to its face. With a snap of its fingers, the blinding light instantly dazzled Nergigante.
Even a powerful dragon like Nergigante would be stunned for a few seconds.
He squinted, tears streaming uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. Hua Miao, who was removing thorns and bandaging Chen Yan's wounds, laughed triumphantly at the sight.
"Don't let your Nergigante persona fool you, you'll still shed tears in front of meow-lord!"
The Nergigante let out an angry roar, revealing the terrifying explosive power brought by its powerful body. It almost skipped the unnecessary step of acceleration and reached its peak speed from the start.
Under Chen Yan's control, the Pink Rathian plunged into the dense coral forest. Its eyes swept over the familiar extinguished campfire on the ground, and along the path behind the coral trees, it discovered some traces left by the fleeing Bird.
"Follow them!"
The Pink Rathalos darted through the low, cramped coral forest, while the loud noises of trees breaking and the ground trembling behind them constantly reminded them that Nergigante was not far away.
Finally, Chen Yan found the "former overlord of the Coral Plateau," the Dazzling Bird, fast asleep in its nest.
The startled bird saw the Pink Rathian flying overhead. It was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, letting out a strange cry, its meaning all too clear.
Do you really think I'm afraid of you?
It opened its head, and most of the strobe membrane on the top of its head had recovered. A large number of light spots gathered on the strobe membrane on its head, and at the same time, it began to jump and adjust its position.
Chen Yan glanced behind him. Nergigante was only half a meter away from them, a distance that was practically within reach. Just as its claws were about to grab the tail of the Pink Rathian.
Chen Yan suddenly bent down and hugged the Sakura Rathalos tightly. He turned back and smiled at it, then reached out his hand, flicked his fingers, and flicked the white spike, which hit the Nergigante squarely on the nose.
"Stop chasing me. Here's your souvenir. I also made you a burst attack; I hope you like it."
The Pink Rathalos soared into the air, and in its place appeared before the Nergigante, the Beelzebub was charged to its limit.
The dazzling membrane on the bird's head burst forth with blinding light. The light was amplified by the shimmering shells that covered its nest, and finally, a blinding white light, several times more intense than the explosion of the flashing winged insect, once again blinded it.
With its eyes glazed over, the Extinction Dragon was completely disoriented and crashed headfirst into the Dazzling Bird's nest. As the coral ground crumbled and collapsed, most of its body sank into it, with only the tip of its tail sticking out.
The dazzling bird was stunned for a few seconds, completely unexpected that it could blind such a terrifying creature. It let out a few strange cries of triumph and panic, then turned and ran away.
