X-Dragon Era

"Clang!" Amid the intense clanging sound, the Boomerang Axe heavily chopped onto the small arm of the Ice Dragon. After a deflection, it spun back towards Xin Yun.

Seeing this, Xin Yun couldn't help but frown. He had been too busy in the past six months to find much time to practice the spinning axe technique, and now that he was retraining his left hand, his control was lacking. Even if the Ice Dragon didn't block, the axe would most likely not hit a person but rather strike near the throat, close to the chest - a location that meant nothing to a dragon.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..." As Xin Yun was contemplating, the ground of the arena suddenly shook violently, and deep red cracks rapidly spread. Numerous dark red Fireballs howled out, bombarding towards Xin Yun who was suspended mid-air.

Seeing this, Xin Yun felt a headache coming on. Just as he had caught a moment's breath, the attack from the Flame Dragon came again. It seemed... taking on three at once was still a bit premature.

"Divine Dragon's Tail Swing!" With a loud shout, Xin Yun decided not to dodge any longer. Taking advantage of the moment the Luan Dragon's Dragon Breath ended, Xin Yun instantly dropped his arms, and with a swift body twist, Responding Dragon's Tail swung out with the force of a boomerang, like a whip bristling with sharp spikes, sweeping across towards the Luan Dragon.

However, such an attack obviously couldn't harm the Luan Dragon. Just before Xin Yun's dragon tail could sweep across, the Luan Dragon flapped its wings and swiftly shot up, perfectly dodging the dragon tail sweep.

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Xin Yun couldn't help but snort coldly. It wouldn't be so simple. If the so-called Divine Dragon's Tail Swing was merely swinging a tail in a wide sweep, it would be laughable and wouldn't have impressed Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying so much.

Under normal circumstances, most people, especially experts, would promptly dodge or block when they detected an incoming attack. Clearly... the Luan Dragon was a bird-type dragon, with defense as its weakest point, so it could only dodge.

But most people like to make this mistake: just dodging enough to avoid the attack, which allows them to launch a counter-attack immediately. Dodging too far would waste an opportunity for attack.

The Luan Dragon did just that, not only timing it well but also gauging the dodge with precision. Responding Dragon's Tail nearly grazed its body as it swept past.

Usually, after such a dodge, one would be safe, and if they wanted to attack again, that would be matter for the next round. Therefore... the moment the Luan Dragon successfully repositioned itself, it spread its wings, and amidst a flash of golden light, countless golden Wind Blades swarmed out.

"Crack, boom..." Just as the Luan Dragon launched its attack, a crisp collision sounded, and a streak of azure light flashed by, instantly sending the Luan Dragon flying out, crashing straight into the stone wall beneath the stands. Under the fierce impact, the Luan Dragon shattered on the spot.

Fortunately, the dragon's rider was indeed strong, managing to spring up just before hitting the ground, caught by a protecting instructor. But the impact was too great, the Luan Dragon couldn't withstand it, and at that moment... it had completely lost consciousness, unable to continue the fight.

"What happened! Did you see that? What just happened! He clearly dodged it, why did it instantly turn out like this! Did anyone see it clearly?" For a moment, the entire spectator stand was in chaos, everyone asking the people next to them in surprise.

On the entire field, only three people understood the tricks behind that last blow: Instructor Mei Wu, Yi Luo Xiang, and Yan Qingying. As for everyone else, not one could figure it out.

The whip, that's right... Xin Yun's Divine Dragon Tail Swing was actually using the principle of the Echoing Whip. When a whip is lashed out, it doesn't carry much force, but once it strikes the right spot and is sharply flicked, it can become incredibly powerful.

Those who have played with whips know that if you swing the whip downward and, at a certain point, sharply scoop it upward, the tip of the whip will instantly recoil with doubling force, unleashing an unimaginably powerful lash, and its speed is too fast for the eye to catch.

Although the first sweep of the tail had been dodged, in reality, Xin Yun hadn't planned to strike the opponent at all. As the opponent dodged, Xin Yun activated a hidden force, and the whip-like tail instantly recoiled, releasing an Echoing Whip with unparalleled speed. The force doubled twice, instantly wiping out the Luan Dragon from sight.

This Divine Dragon's Tail Swing had been perfected by Xin Yun in his past life to the point of mastery; he could instantly direct the tip of the whip in any direction. Unless the opponent had the ability to instantly leave the area, it was nearly impossible to dodge. After all, how could you dodge something you can't even see the shadow of?

"This! How is this possible!" Seeing this, Speedy Slash stood up abruptly, staring dumbfounded at Xin Yun on the field, his mind in complete disarray. How on earth did he do that? Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire

Speedy Slash knew the rider of the Luan Dragon; in fact... they were from the same family, both descendants of the same generation and had both entered the Combat Dragon Academy together. However, the other was from the main line of the family head, while Speedy Slash was a collateral member from a far branch, not only distantly related but also a cousin.

Even though they were distantly related, they were from the same family and attended the same academy, so they interacted with each other. Speedy Slash was well aware of the other's strength, which was definitely above his own.
