Chapter 328 - 330: Fire Trace Sword Awakening
Chapter 328: Chapter 330: Fire Trace Sword Awakening
“Sword Spirit Dragon!”
Soaring outside, the Sword Spirit Dragon, filled with Fire Trace Inscriptions, suddenly burst into intense flames. The brilliant orange-gold fire at the tip of the sword released a vast and magnificent energy, causing the Death Flame falling from the sky to pale in comparison!
The Fire Trace Sword plummeted straight down toward Runyu City, landing right at Zhu Minglang’s feet. In an instant, Sword Qi Hong swept through like a storm of the ages, impacting everything around!
The Death Flame was replaced by the golden, scorching flame full of vigorous life force, which didn’t seem like cursed flames but rather like being blessed by the Gods!!
The golden fire, as Zhu Minglang gripped the Fire Sword that fell before him, surged a majestic and vast flame of life toward Zhu Minglang’s body, making his mortal flesh seem as if it had been purified by molten sacred fire!
Fire patterns like armor covered his entire body, the liquid flame of fire seemed to flow like divine blood throughout his body, even his hair shimmered with fiery-red light, and his thick eyebrows turned wild, spreading out like the feathers of a Fire Phoenix!
Fire Mark Soul!!
It was like a phoenix rising from the ashes!!
With sword in hand, Zhu Minglang rose into the air, his figure backed by the orange-gold flames exuded an unsurpassed majesty.
From the pits in the earth, Orderer Yan Guang’s eyes widened in shock as he witnessed Zhu Minglang summoning the Sword Spirit Dragon, and further saw Zhu Minglang unleash the power of Sword Awakening. He could hardly believe that a frail Dragon Shepherd could obtain such unparalleled power as if granted by a divine grace. Comparatively, they seemed like true commoners.
Zhu Minglang, standing on the falling flame meteor mountain, swung his sword again and again, collapsing the waves of flames assaulting the human world.
All these were Death Flames, carrying a terrible curse against life; a touch would reduce an ordinary person to ashes.
The Undead Female Star Dragon held deep resentment against the creatures of this land, and this meteor fire disaster was its revenge on everyone in the Tea-colored Ground!
The cursed heavenly fire was still circling high above, and with the sacrifice of the Female Star Dragon, the meteors from beyond the sky were also drawn by this force, causing a ceaseless rain of fire. Numerous flame orbs, as large as hills, streaked across the sky, flying towards the lands far beyond Runyu City.
Forests, villages, cities—once the Death Flame spread across the ground, it meant extinction for the vast majority of life unable to resist.
Zhu Minglang glanced at his own body; the fire patterns this time not only wrapped around his arms but also extended across his entire body, as if his bones and blood had been remolded anew!
Previously at Nine Army Cemetery Mountain, Zhu Minglang had not undergone such a transformation. He had obtained a Sword Cultivator’s Cultivation Base, but his body was still frail. This time, it was completely different.
Could it mean that his bond with the Sword Spirit Dragon was growing stronger, and the Sword Awakening power it could grant him was becoming more comprehensive!
“Noble one, save me!”
Suddenly, from amidst the rolling fire and smoke, Orderer Chang Hong from Green Bull Mountain cried out.
Chang Hong was riding the Guiguang Dragon, which was not as powerful as his Purple Dragon. Facing the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon, the Guiguang Dragon was like a child of seven or eight, hardly able to inflict damage.
The Scale Feathers of the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon had been shattered by Yan Guang’s Thunder Talisman, and its dense black blood flowed from the skin as tough as black jade.
Yan Guang, Chang Hong, and Tu Wenhe had played a significant role, managing to injure the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon.
Alas, they paid a price as well.
Chang Hong’s pride, the Silver Tail Purple Dragon, was gravely wounded by the Fiend Star Dragon and barely clung to life when retracted into the Spirit Realm, while Chang Hong himself was also in critical condition, barely managing to hold his own with a Guiguang Dragon.
The Guiguang Dragon was no match for the Fiend Star Dragon’s tyrannical slaughter, and soon it was bitten to death by the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon, its blood spraying wildly, its corpse even thrown into the raging flames.
It wasn’t that Zhu Minglang didn’t want to lend a hand, but Chang Hong was already in a dire situation of certain death.
Once the Guiguang Dragon died, in the face of the Fiend Star Dragon, he was nothing but a chick.
Indeed, the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon swung its tail and pounded Orderer Chang Hong into a pulp. Chang Hong didn’t even have the chance to let out a scream before he completely perished.
Tu Wenhe was the strongest among the three. His Ancient Bronze Dragon was extremely powerful, having bitten off chunks of dragon flesh from the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon several times. The Fiend Star Dragon itself was covered in wounds. Not to mention, it still had to drag its body up the steep ascent, to reach the other side of the pyre.
For the Fiend Star Dragon, this was its tribulation, whether or not it could emerge from the human encirclement and ascend to the peak out of reach of Ordinary Spirits…
It noticed Zhu Minglang, a human wielding the Fire Trace Sword and wrapped in a golden orange holy radiance. It had intended to go after the Ancient Bronze Dragon and eliminate this biggest threat once and for all, but seeing Zhu Minglang rushing in like a tower of flames, it showed a trace of caution.
“Zhu Minglang??” Tu Wenhe was somewhat shocked, almost failing to recognize Zhu Minglang in his Sword Awakening stance.
Zhu Minglang did not respond. He saw that the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon was still in a state of recuperation, unable to use some of its divine skills, and thus he struck with his sword, aiming a direct slash at the Fiend Star Dragon’s head where it was most vulnerable!
Flash Dragon Sword!
Zhu Minglang’s figure almost teleported, leaving an afterimage where he stood while he had already reached the front of the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon.
His sword slash was like a mighty waterfall, where flowing molten magma took the place of water, and with a forceful and dominating power, the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon was struck down hundreds of meters.
The skin of the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon blistered and ruptured from the burn, the Fire Trace Sword in Zhu Minglang’s hand carried an intense scorching force. Devoid of protecting scale feathers, the Fiend Star Dragon roared in pain.
After a short descent, the Fiend Star Dragon soared again, its speed terrifyingly fast. Zhu Minglang saw only a streak of sinister red light passing by, and then the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon had already rushed towards him.
Its Dark Crystal Horn unleashed a black light of devouring force, and Zhu Minglang felt engulfed by darkness, unable to see his own hands, even though just moments ago the fierce fire had brightly illuminated the sky and land.
“Swoosh!”
The speed of the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon was exceedingly fast, and a flap of its Star Space Wings could shatter a mountain.
Zhu Minglang raised his sword, forming a Taiji diagram in front of himself. This time, the Taiji diagram he drew was not a single surface, but more like a huge Taiji bell tower, enveloping his surroundings.
Unable to judge the angle of the incoming attack, he protected himself in all directions.
Now, with the cultivation base that the Sword Spirit Dragon had bestowed upon him, he could perform even more powerful swordsmanship.
Zhu Minglang remained steady and calm. He needed to first strike the Crossing Robbers and Fiend Star Dragon, restrict its movement, and then use the Vermillion Bird Sword of the Sword Meteor Sword Technique to completely defeat it.
