Chapter 361: Humans Are Terrifying

The explosion of the Black Dragon Soul triggered the explosion of the Blue Dragon Soul, accompanied by a thick cloud of black smoke.

The black smoke spread out near Hao Yi, but he immediately used Spirit Technique to disperse it.

However, once he used Spirit Technique, the black smoke seemed to be attracted, invading his body.

At first, he had no adverse reactions, but the invading black smoke soon took effect.

He felt a sharp pain in his body, as if his spiritual roots and veins were clogged by the black smoke, making the spirit force he was trying to mobilize not as effective as he wished.

What on earth is happening…?

He sensed something was wrong and hurriedly began to channel his inner strength, trying to expel the black mist invading his body.

This human can pull off such tricks; he had really underestimated him.

But then he remembered that he had set up a Spirit Shield to protect himself; however, it was of no use—the black smoke could still invade through the shield.

This wasn’t just carelessness; he had no way to counter it!

Lin Nuo was skilled at underhanded tactics, using hidden weapons to harm.

The Soul-Shackling Needle was a common method, but against something as strong as Hao Yi’s Spirit Shield, it wouldn’t work. If external methods failed, he would resort to internal techniques.

The black mist intrusion was a form of advanced demonic erosion technique.

Once the black mist penetrated deep into the body, collapse was inevitable, but before that, a capable person could still mobilize their inner strength to push it out.

However.

Lin Nuo didn’t need the black mist to completely shatter him; merely restricting him would achieve his goal.

Taking advantage of Hao Yi still trying to expel the black mist, Lin Nuo seized the opportunity and attacked Hao Yi with his sword.

Hao Yi quickly retreated, but as the long sword descended, the sword aura followed, striking directly at him. Hao Yi thought he was merely being slashed, unaware of the follow-up sword aura.

Bang!

It hit Hao Yi’s Spirit Shield, instantly creating a few cracks.

His defensive art was normally exceptional; outsiders found it difficult to break his Spirit Shield, yet Lin Nuo’s sword aura had caused it to crack.

He was merely a human—how humiliating!

He noticed his spirit strength waning, and the defensive power of his Spirit Shield was greatly reduced.

The black mist within him was gradually eroding him, causing his spirit strength to weaken.

Damn it, he had to push it out quickly; otherwise, total defeat was only a matter of time.

However, Lin Nuo wouldn’t give him a chance, relentlessly launching attacks while Hao Yi was busy defending, leaving him with no strength to expel the black mist.

One sword, two swords, three swords!

During the fierce battle, Hao Yi found himself exposed, with Lin Nuo seeing through his patterns and continuously getting hit. The once solid Spirit Shield became overwhelmed and ultimately shattered completely!

Crack, crack, crack!

“No, no!”

Watching his proud Spirit Shield shatter, Hao Yi fell into utter despair.

Nothing was more painful than seeing his prized shield being destroyed.

Hao Yi was on the verge of defeat; fighting Lin Nuo was becoming increasingly difficult, and he even bore several sword wounds on his body.

If this continued, he might actually be killed.

He was the Second Prince of the Sea Domain Dragon Clan, fresh on land and about to be killed by a human—how shameful!

Are humans really this strong? Just stepping onto the coast and a human could beat him to this level of humiliation?

Damn it, what a stroke of bad luck!

Hao Yi was retreating, while Lin Nuo kept pursuing, moving further from the coast.

Surrounded by the ocean’s spiritual energy, Hao Yi had high recovery ability, but he still couldn’t withstand Lin Nuo’s barrage—he was hit by sword strikes, punches, and kicks, utterly losing his temper.

Can’t win, must retreat! This guy is ridiculously strong!

Hao Yi gathered all his spirit energy, striking out a blue-green dragon.

Lin Nuo, using his spirit power to wield his sword, created a black dragon.

This time it wasn’t evenly matched—it was an outright crushing defeat; the black dragon directly swallowed the blue dragon!

The black dragon locked onto its prey, charging toward Hao Yi.

Hao Yi quickly dove into the water, gaining an advantage there, but the black dragon dove after him.

He swam quickly, but after swallowing the blue dragon, the black dragon was even more ferocious, transforming into the ruler of the waters, eager to sink its teeth into its prey, Hao Yi.

“Damn it, it’s catching up!”

Hao Yi panicked; it was the first time he felt such fear, as if he was about to plunge into the abyss of hell, with endless anxiety and terror flooding his mind.

He was a dragon, yet he feared that black dragon.

That kid is driving him insane.

“Your Highness!”

Elite soldiers of the Sea Domain Dragon Clan rushed in, arriving just in time to block the attacking black dragon.

“Break through, everyone, let’s take it down!”

The leading dragon clan general shouted, weapon in hand, ready to confront the black dragon.

As long as they all attacked together, they could immediately block the black dragon’s charge.

However, the situation was beyond their expectations; the black dragon was like a runaway horse, charging madly, scattering the front line of dragon soldiers.

But the rear soldiers caught up in time, many of them working together, and with the ocean’s protection, they managed to dispel the Black Dragon Soul.

“Your Highness, what happened? Were you attacked?”

The elite general quickly approached to check on Hao Yi’s condition, but Hao Yi was still panicking, taking a long time to regain his composure.

“There are people by the sea…”

“Your Highness, did you get attacked by someone from the seaside? We sensed that powerful presence and rushed over immediately. Your Highness, please allow us to punish those who attacked you.”

“Don’t go, let’s leave…”

Hao Yi dismissed their proposal, turning back toward retreat.

They couldn’t fight; humans were too terrifying! That was definitely not their upper-class combat power—there must be even stronger individuals, and in considerable numbers.

If they went ashore now, they would surely be left with no place to die.

The information the scouts brought back wasn’t very reliable.

After all, the scouts hadn’t engaged with powerful humans before, so their understanding of combat strength was somewhat vague.

Although he had come here and faced defeat, nearly dying in the process, he had garnered valuable intelligence.

That is, humans are far scarier than they had imagined.

Over the past few hundred years, humans had developed to an unimaginable extent, and he had to report this to his father.

Thus, Hao Yi could only return, go home to heal, and reconsider his plans.

On the surface, Lin Nuo sheathed his sword.

Hao Yi’s strength was still formidable, bolstered by the energy of the sea—he was still a bit short of being able to completely eliminate him.

But injuring him was sufficient.

Time to withdraw.

Lin Nuo returned to the shore, finding a stable rock to sit on.

And riding her sword, Mu Yiting landed shortly after.

She excitedly said:

“I just saw your strength; it’s likely that no one in Helong Hall can match you!”

“Take out the ‘likely.’”

“Hmm… Are you that confident?”

“That’s just a minor scene.”

Lin Nuo replied coldly, then lay back on the rock, staring up at the sky.

The sky was blue and tranquil; he relaxed completely.

He might just lose consciousness soon.

Whatever.

Hmm? It seems like Mu Yiting’s time is up, right?

Why hasn’t she fallen yet?
