Chapter 769: Cang Yue

"Sister, you jest. Linger only wishes to know your name!"

Zhao Linger felt a bit embarrassed under Cang Yue's gaze, so she said in a low voice.

"Cang Yue, when is the Six Halls Tournament for you all?"

"You are quite mysterious, knowing everything. Why don't you guess?"

Cang Yue's beautiful eyes shifted, and she laughed inadvertently. This smile was truly enough to topple cities and states, like a fairy under the moon descending into the mortal world.

"Boom—!"

Just as Lin Fan was about to speak, the earth suddenly shook, and the entire ground began to sink.

Lin Fan beckoned with his hand, and the Huishan Xuan Yuan Sword carried him and the three women—Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, and Xin Shiniang—into mid-air. Cang Yue also flew up immediately, holding her divine sword, watching the ground below vigilantly.

"Lin Fan, what is happening?"

Lin Yueru asked, watching the ground below as it continuously cracked and sank.

"It's nothing major, just an Earth Dragon turning over!"

"Bang!"

No sooner had Lin Fan said it was nothing major than a pillar of flesh over a hundred feet in diameter suddenly shot into the sky, rushing toward him and Cang Yue.

"Wow, such a huge earthworm and you say it's nothing major? What on earth did it eat to grow this big!"

Lin Fan and Cang Yue dodged the impact of the flesh pillar. Lin Yueru shouted, feeling both excited and terrified.

Lin Fan flew on his sword, and Cang Yue soared into the air; the two of them continuously dodged the flesh pillar's attacks.

Cang Yue suddenly let out a cold snort and shot upward. The divine sword in her hand turned into a streak of golden light, executing the Human-Sword Unity to pierce directly through the flesh pillar. The flesh pillar let out a strange, low roar, then ignored Lin Fan and rushed directly toward Cang Yue.

Cang Yue did not show weakness. The long sword in her hand radiated golden light, occasionally slicing off large chunks of flesh from the pillar. For a moment, it seemed as if it were raining blood in the sky, with flying flesh everywhere.

Zhao Linger tried to use immortal arts to help Cang Yue, but there was a layer of fluorescent light flickering on the Earth Dragon's surface. Zhao Linger's immortal arts hit it like a stone sinking into the sea. Even Xin Shiniang's magic power had no effect on the Earth Dragon.

Cang Yue was able to inflict so much damage on the Earth Dragon not only because her cultivation base was higher, but mainly because the golden divine sword in her hand was indestructible. Zhao Linger saw this too, drew the Qingsuo Sword, and prepared to fly over to help Cang Yue.

However, at this moment, the ground suddenly exploded, and the lower half of the Earth Dragon flew out from underground. At the same time, it curled its body into a ball, trapping Cang Yue in the middle, seemingly wanting to crush her to death.

Cang Yue sensed the danger. The long sword in her hand turned into a phoenix, wanting to break through and escape, but there seemed to be a restriction on the Earth Dragon's surface. Not only was its defense astonishing, but most importantly, it had a rebounding force; every time Cang Yue struck, she was rebounded back.

"Nine Heavens Profound Brake, turn into Divine Thunder. Majestic Heavenly Might..."

Seeing Cang Yue in a critical situation, Zhao Linger just wanted to use the Divine Sword Imperial Thunder Technique, but Lin Fan stopped her.

"Silly girl, do you want to strike Cang Yue as well? Your cultivation is not enough to precisely control the power of the thunder. Let me do it!"

"Nine Heavens Profound Brake, turn into Divine Thunder. Majestic Heavenly Might, lead it with the sword!"

Lin Fan took out the Yixi Sword and began to execute the Divine Sword Imperial Thunder Technique. In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thundered.

The Earth Dragon sensed the danger and contracted its body even faster, wanting to curl into a ball before the thunder descended. This was both to defend against the thunder and to crush Cang Yue to death.

"Stubborn and unyielding, you are courting death!"

Seeing this, Lin Fan was furious. He pointed his long sword, and the thunder filling the sky condensed into a deep purple pillar of lightning, shooting toward the Earth Dragon. It directly blasted its body into two sections, and Cang Yue took the opportunity to break free.

"Many thanks!"

Cang Yue flew to Lin Fan's side, her cherry lips parted slightly as she whispered a word of thanks.

"You are welcome. This wicked beast must have been awakened by the battle between you and the One-Horned Rhinoceros. Now that it is not yet dead, I leave it to you!"

Lin Fan pointed at the Earth Dragon playing dead on the ground. This exotic beast had astonishing vitality; even though it had been split into two by the lightning, it was still alive.

"Forget it. Legend has it that Earth Dragons do not actively harm people. Since I was the one who disturbed it first, let's spare its life!"

Cang Yue raised the long sword in her hand and then lowered it. She sighed, deciding not to pursue the matter further. ===== CHAPTER 771 =====
