Chapter 13: The Brutal Iron-Backed Sword Dragon Beast

  Roar!!

  A deafening roar of terror echoed in all directions, from the terrifying, three-zhang-tall and five-zhang-long monster with a horse's mouth, its body covered in one-meter-long sword-shaped spines.

  According to legend, the divine dragon has deer antlers and a horse's mouth, an iron-backed sword-like beast. It is said that this monster obtained its magical powers from the divine dragon's sleep. Not only does it possess great strength and a terrifying physical body, but more importantly, its head also shares three similarities with the legendary divine dragon.

  According to legend, 99% of the life of a divine dragon is spent sleeping. The Iron-Backed Sword Dragon Beast is no exception. Its cultivation can only be done while it's asleep, allowing for faster breakthroughs. For this reason, sleep will be its most cherished moment, and it will hate anyone who disturbs it during this time.

  But now, while it's sleeping, these humans in front of me actually dare to disturb the Sword Dragon Beast, truly unforgivable.

  Roar!!

  Towards the nine great dragon guards who had just arrived and didn't know what was going on, Tie Bei Xian Long Shou let out a furious roar.

  "Ah, monster, this is a monster!"

  The nine great dragon guards were suddenly shocked by this furious roar, and when they looked up, they saw a terrifying giant staring at them, and everyone was so scared that they all jumped three times.

  Everyone in Yunshui City may still be a character, but when facing monsters, it's terrifying from the heart. Yunshui City is surrounded by Lianyao Mountain Range on three sides and faces the East Sea on one side. To survive, many people go out to sea to fish every year, and many people enter Lianyao Mountain Range to find legendary spiritual medicine or some wild beasts.

  But every year, how many people enter the Lian Yao mountain range and never return? And how many times have the monsters in the Lian Yao mountain range entered Yun Shui City, causing heavy casualties throughout the city? It can be said that all humans in Yun Shui City are under the threat of being attacked by terrifying and ferocious monsters at any time, which could end their fragile lives.

  Moreover, what's even more infuriating is that every year, it's always those small families with some power but absolutely at the bottom who are discovered to be involved in such things, and each time they suffer heavy losses.

  But what can you do, they just aren't strong enough?

  What's even more desperate is that in order to survive and cultivate, they can only take risks again after the event and re-enter the Lian Yao mountain range to obtain precious spiritual medicine, which can be exchanged for various items used for cultivation to increase their strength. Finally, when the monsters come down from the mountain, it will naturally start with these humans who enter the mountain range.

  It can be said that in this way, a strange cycle is formed, endless, allowing all the small family and small forces to engrave the horror of the monster into their minds, forever unable to erase.

  Moreover, in order to survive, these small families and forces would always let the four major families take away the treasures they obtained at various prices, only to have them fall into the hands of the four major families of Yunshui City after paying a huge price. The treasures they had obtained with their lives were more than 90% taken by the four major families, and what they got in return was just some very cheap cultivation resources.

  Even to get the protection of the four major families, they cannot take out a portion of these already very cheap resources and give them to some high-level members of the four major families, so that their own family's power can develop more stably.

  Although this is the case, every year when monsters come down from the mountains, there are always strong members of the four major families who arrive at the scene first. However, before they arrive, many people from smaller families and factions still end up being buried in the mouths of the monsters.

  It is a monster, for those small families and small forces, it is an absolute nightmare existence. Among them, the dragon beast is absolutely supreme, because the vast majority of monsters that come down from the mountain are these powerful dragon beasts.

  It just so happens that the majority of the Tianlong Guards, the elite warriors of the Tianlong Society, were selected from these small families and minor powers. As a result, when they saw the Iron-Backed Sword Dragon Beast's horse-like mouth, at least five of the nine Tianlong Guards let out cries of surprise.

  "Roar!"

  The Iron-Backed Sword Dragon Beast couldn't speak yet, but that didn't affect its actions. A two-zhang-long steel tail whipped out, leaving a scar in the sky as it swept towards the nine Heavenly Dragon Guards.

  Iron-backed sword dragon beast is a monster that has reached the third heaven of Lianqi, due to its strong defense and physical strength. Even human Lianqi warriors at the fifth heaven may not be its match. The Tianlong Guards, however, all come from small factions and families, and their abilities are mostly only at the first heaven of Lianqi, making it difficult for them to make any further progress.

  Now facing the sudden attack of the Iron-backed Sword Dragon Beast, there was no room for the Tianlong Guards to react. On the spot, two Tianlong Guards were crushed by the massive tail whip from the sky, causing their bodies to completely collapse.

  "Bastard!"

  Tian Long Wei Chang was a strong practitioner of the Five Heavens, and he had been following Tian Long Wei and Ye Lin from afar because he himself was a member of the Ye family. Although he joined Tian Long Society and became the leader of Tian Long Wei, when facing Ye Lin, the direct descendant of the Ye family's patriarch, he still couldn't bring himself to take action. However, he had no idea that the legendary good-for-nothing actually possessed such great abilities, having tricked all nine of them, who were in the Nine Great Heavenly Realm, and intentionally provoked a monster, letting the nine Tian Long Wei take the fall for it.

  Ye Lin's move made Tianlong Wei Chang both shocked and furious. However, Tianlong Wei Chang was also a remarkable person, and by now he should have understood that Ye Lin was actually setting them up.

  "Kill!"

  Now that things have blown up, going to complain and roar is useless. The most important thing is that the Tianlong Guard cannot suffer any more losses. Otherwise, even if he is the leader of the Tianlong Guard, when he returns, he will face death from the leader of the Tianlong Society.

  In an instant, the remaining Tianlong Guards, with all their might, burst forth their strength to its maximum value. Instantly, various fist winds and sword winds roared, flying up and down in this mountain range, surrounding the Iron Back Sword Dragon Beast from top to bottom, launching a joint attack.

  However, the name "Iron Back" of the Iron-Backed Sword Dragon Beast is absolutely terrifying and not something that ordinary people can break through. Moreover, its two-zhang-long tail whip is like a spiritual snake, sweeping back and forth, and it's not something that ordinary people can withstand.

  For a time, although the seven major refining period warriors were attacking the Iron-backed Sword Dragon Beast, in fact, the seven major refining period warriors were being chased by the Iron-backed Sword Dragon Beast's tail whip, jumping up and down, starting a desperate battle.

  What's most infuriating is that even if the Seven Great Dragon Guards wanted to leave the battlefield, it was impossible. The Iron-Backed Sword Dragon Beast used its own iron back as the center point, and its tail whip swept back and forth with a radius of two zhang, enclosing all seven of the Refining Qi period warriors within its own combat circle. Any who dared to try and leave the battlefield would be met with an absolute iron whip.

  "Ah!"

  One of the Tianlong Guards could no longer withstand the intense battle and wanted to leave the battlefield, but suddenly a black shadow flew in from outside and cut him off at the waist.

  For a time, the remaining six Tianlong Guards did not dare to be careless, nor did anyone dare to leave the battlefield. However, with an iron back as a shield and a two-meter-long tail whip as a spear, the Ironback Sword Dragon Beast could be said to be invincible in both offense and defense, making the six Tianlong Guards suffer greatly.

  "Damn it, if I had known this earlier, I would have risked my life to kill that bastard."

  A Tianlong guard was almost driven mad by the Iron-backed Sword Dragon Beast, and it wasn't until then that they truly came to their senses. If only they had known earlier, even if it meant facing Ye Lin's "adventure", they would have killed him back then.

  However, reality does not allow for regrets, and time will not turn back. Facing the current situation, being brutally toyed with by the Iron-Backed Sword Dragon Beast, it's hard to see any way out.

  "Ah!!"

  It was another Tianlong Guard who couldn't withstand the pressure, slowing down his movement by a beat. Suddenly, a dark shadow flew in from the horizon and ruthlessly swept across the Tianlong Guard's chest. In an instant, there was no longer any sign of him, not even a sound. The terrifying aura had crushed even the physical body of a Lianqi period strongman without mercy.

  "Ahhhhh!!"

  I was stunned by the brutal scene, and then three more came in a row, all within an instant, swept across my chest, back, and even head by a whip-like tail that seemed to come from nowhere.

  In an instant, in a short period of time, the ten-membered Dragon Guard team, except for one who was killed by Ye Lin, were all beaten to death by the ferocious and powerful Iron-Backed Sword Dragon Beast, leaving only the Captain of the Dragon Guard and the last member with exceptionally quick reflexes.

  "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

  Witnessing this process, the Tianlong Guard Captain was instantly in a state of frenzy, unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

  "Animal, you're asking for death."

  Tian Long Wei Chang, after all, is a warrior of the fifth heaven of the Refining Period. Although he's not an opponent for Tie Bei Xian Long Shou, if he were to disregard the consequences and attack, even Tie Bei Xian Long Shou's ferocity could be severely injured or even killed.

  But regardless of the consequences, the price that needs to be borne is absolutely desperate, even with the determination of a Tianlong Guard Captain, it was a good while of deliberation at the beginning.

  But now there's no time for anything else, if I don't make a move now, I might never be able to again.

  Suddenly, on the body of the Tianlong Guard Captain, bursts of Yuan Dan Fa Ze's imprints erupted.

  However, the Tianlong Guard Captain exploded his internal Yuan Dan at the last moment when Tie Bei Sword Dragon Beast was about to exhaust all its strength and kill everyone, causing his own power to increase by several levels in a short period of time.

  "Give up, and surrender your life as a heavenly dragon guard."

  Kai Long Wei charged forward with all his might and grabbed the last remaining Tian Long Wei by the collar, using every ounce of strength to fling him out.

  My eyelids are fighting, but I've finally finished.
