Chapter 314: Both Sides Suffer

The black dragon's roar echoed through the clouds like thunder; its massive body thrashed in the water, each movement accompanied by surging waves, showing the Demon Power rapidly recovering within it.

Seeing that the powerful monk had already fled, these four human experts before it must be the "Human Tribulation" it had to overcome on its path of cultivation.

The lightning tribulation has been passed, the water path has been paved; in the end, as long as it merges into the river and enters the sea, it will be a success.

So next, it must rely on its own strength to defeat these interceptors one by one to complete its Walking Dragon Path and achieve true Transformation.

As the black dragon's will stirred, the surrounding water elements seemed to respond to its summons, gathering one after another to form water dragons and Water Arrows, attacking the green-clad swordsman and the others violently.

Every water dragon contained the black dragon's Demon Power and was terrifyingly powerful, forcing the green-clad swordsman and the others to give their all just to barely hold them off.

The green-clad swordsman brandished his Sword, the sword light weaving like a web, shattering the water dragons one by one. However, the black dragon's offensive was as continuous as the tide, making him feel the pressure mounting.

The women in white used the Flower Baskets in their hands to continuously scatter petals, attempting to use a net woven from these petals to bind the black dragon's movements.

But the black dragon's Demon Power was too formidable; the petal net could often only slow its speed briefly, unable to truly trap it.

Seeing this, the man roared, spiritual power surging violently over his fists; he leaped up suddenly and charged directly into the water curtain raised by the black dragon.

Inside the water curtain, he engaged in a fierce close-quarters battle with the black dragon. Under the execution of a secret technique, his body seemed to have grown dozens of times larger than before, especially his fists, which were shockingly large.

The wind from his fists collided with the dragon claws, erupting with a deafening sound, water splashing everywhere, as if the entire world were trembling because of it.

The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides displayed astonishing strength and perseverance. As time passed, the black dragon's Demon Power seemed to grow stronger, while the green-clad swordsman and the others appeared somewhat overwhelmed.

If this continued, it would be difficult to withstand the black dragon's offensive.

Just then, the green-clad swordsman suddenly had an idea. He looked at the two women in white and the man beside him, a flash of determination in his eyes.

He understood that to defeat the black dragon, a greater price must be paid. Thus, he took a deep breath, condensed all his spiritual power onto the tip of his Sword, and prepared to launch the final strike.

"Everyone, let us work together to defeat this black dragon in one blow!" the green-clad swordsman shouted loudly.

The women in white and the man nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They knew this was their only chance. Thus, the four of them simultaneously erupted with their strongest power.

After speaking, they attacked the dragon again; one could see their figures flickering and their weapons brandishing as streaks of sharp Sword Qi, blade qi, and flower shadows attacked the dragon.

Just then, the dragon seemed to sense a fatal threat; it opened its blood-red maw and violently spat out a thick black mist, instantly enveloping everyone. The black mist was filled with intense toxicity and corrosiveness, making it difficult to breathe and causing the skin to sting unbearably.

This did not stop the attacks of the few. They each unleashed their respective ultimate techniques, preparing to engage in a fierce life-and-death struggle with the dragon.

On the little giant's fists, the Gauntlet became incredibly solid under the infusion of spiritual power, as if it had merged with his fists, emitting bursts of golden light. He roared, his fists striking toward the black dragon with the force of breaking wind, each punch seemingly capable of shaking the heavens and earth.

Although the body of the Sword in the green-clad swordsman's hand had developed cracks, his gaze was even more resolute. This was the witness to him fighting to the end alongside this sword.

He took a deep breath, the tip of his Sword tapped lightly, and his figure turned into a streak of light, instantly closing in on the black dragon. His Sword Technique had reached the realm of perfection, each strike containing an understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, pointing directly at the black dragon's vital points.

The two women in white in the sky—their Flower Baskets were swaying incessantly, but they did not give up. They knew that although the petals were delicate, the power gathered from them was enough to bind a powerful demon beast.

They gritted their teeth and continued to drive the petals in the Flower Baskets, attempting to trap the black dragon in a cage woven from petals.

The black dragon sensed the determination and strength of the four, and it knew that today's battle was unavoidable. Thus, it no longer held back its strength, using its remaining dragon horn as a final weapon and shooting it out violently.

The dragon horn tore through the air like lightning, carrying the momentum to rip everything apart, heading straight for the little giant.

At the same time, the black dragon opened its mouth and spat out a Dragon Pearl; this Dragon Pearl contained its millennium of cultivation and essence, attempting to block the green-clad swordsman's fatal strike.

However, the black dragon did not show much fear toward the petals from the two women's Flower Baskets. It knew well that although the control power of the petals was strong, with its own Demon Power and speed, it could completely escape before the petals formed a cage. Therefore, it focused more on dealing with the attacks of the little giant and the green-clad swordsman.

In this fierce battle, the strength and will of the four were tested to the extreme. Their coordination became increasingly tacit, and their attacks became increasingly sharp. The black dragon, meanwhile, relied on its powerful Demon Power and cunning wisdom to constantly look for opportunities to counterattack.

Finally, amidst a deafening roar, the ultimate moves of the four collided with the black dragon's all-out counterattack. The entire space seemed to tremble, light splashing everywhere and water mist filling the air.

The newborn dragon fighting one against four left Cheng Feng and the other two on the ground in the distance dazzled.

Su Qiang could not bear to look away: "They are truly so powerful."

After the light dissipated, the black dragon let out a painful roar. Several deep wounds appeared on its massive body, and blood dyed the surrounding river water red.

Conversely, the four were not doing well either; blood spilled from the corners of their mouths and their faces were pale, but their eyes were filled with joy.

The little giant's Gauntlet was shattered, the green-clad swordsman's sword body was broken, and the two women in white's Flower Baskets had also become dilapidated. However, they did not retreat, instead approaching the black dragon step by step.

The black dragon panted, realizing it had encountered a true opponent. It began to hesitate whether to flee, but its inner pride made it unable to make such a choice.

Just then, the green-clad swordsman struggled and was the first to launch an attack. He used his last bit of strength to swing a brilliant sword light, stabbing directly at the black dragon's eyes. The black dragon dodged in a panic but was still scratched on the cheek by the sword light.

This strike ignited the fighting spirit of the others, and they each used their final means, not giving the black dragon any chance to catch its breath.

Under the siege of the four, the black dragon gradually lost the ability to resist and finally fell into a pool of blood.

After the battle ended, the four lay on the ground, exhausted, looking at each other with victorious smiles on their faces.

They knew how hard-won this victory was.
