Seemingly sensing Ye Xingchen's power, the Candle Dragon put down its prey and slithered upwards, launching an attack on Ye Xingchen.
"That's more like it. Come find me. I'm your opponent." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, holding the Crimson Cloud Sword, and swept past the Candle Dragon's body.
The instant the figure of the man and the dragon crossed paths, a powerful wave surged into the sky—the sharpness emanating from the Crimson Sky sword in Ye Xingchen's hand.
With a whoosh, the massive sword energy emitted a tremendous roar, and everything within a ten-zhang radius of Ye Xingchen's body was instantly reduced to dust.
With a mournful howl, the Candle Dragon let out a miserable cry, and then its massive body fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground with a thud.
The scales on the Candle Dragon's body were exceptionally hard, impenetrable even to bullets. When they hit the ground, they struck the boulder beneath it like steel, shattering it to pieces.
With a roar, the Candle Dragon flipped itself up, coiled its massive body, and raised its head like a giant snake, staring intently at Ye Xingchen.
It seemed that it had not expected that Ye Xingchen, such a tiny human, could unleash such powerful energy.
Originally, in its eyes, humans were as insignificant as ants, food for it to fill its stomach. But it never dreamed that this ant-like thing could now launch a counterattack.
Ye Xingchen held the Crimson Sky sword and glanced coldly at the dragon. The dragon hadn't fared well from the sword strike just now; a piece of its hard scales had vanished two meters behind it.
Blood flowed down its body, clearly indicating that Ye Xingchen's sword strike had seriously injured it.
Chen Changqing and the others were completely dumbfounded. Although Ye Xingchen had not knocked Zhulong to the ground during their exchange, they were still stunned.
However, his sword strike seriously injured Zhulong. Judging from Zhulong's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to devour Ye Xingchen alive.
You should know that this guy's scales are impervious to blades and bullets; they can't penetrate them. They're as hard as steel. Yet, Ye Xingchen casually injured Zhulong with a single sword strike. This kind of strength is truly not something an ordinary person can possess.
After exchanging blows with Ye Xingchen, the Candle Dragon immediately abandoned its contempt for Ye Xingchen. It coiled its body, raised its head, and stared intently at Ye Xingchen.
"You beast, have you seen enough?" Ye Xingchen raised his head, stared at Zhulong, and then pointed Chixiao in his hand forward.
His actions undoubtedly angered the Candle Dragon. With a roar, it opened its blood-red maw and spewed a breath of dragon fire at Ye Xingchen.
"Ye Xingchen, be careful!" Xie Ya couldn't help but exclaim in alarm. She had just witnessed how powerful the dragon's breath was.
Although this thing cannot breathe fire, the dragon breath it spews is highly poisonous and can directly corrode people.
Xie Ya started to care about Ye Xingchen at some point, partly because he could save her grandfather, and partly because the abilities he displayed made this young lady's heart flutter.
These dragon breaths could not harm Ye Xingchen. Before the dragon breaths could be released, Ye Xingchen dodged and leaped into the air, disappearing from the scene.
Having lost its target, the Candle Dragon, enraged, charged wildly, spewing its dragon breath everywhere in an attempt to find Ye Xingchen's whereabouts.
However, after all its efforts, it not only failed to find Ye Xingchen, but also exhausted itself.
Just as it was staring with its huge eyes searching for Ye Xingchen, it suddenly felt a fierce gust of wind coming from above.
Zhulong suddenly raised its head, its huge eyes slightly contracting as it saw Ye Xingchen descending from the sky, the Crimson Cloud in its hand radiating a sharp light.
With a soft "plop," the head of the Candle Dragon was split in two, and its massive body fell heavily to the ground. After struggling for a moment, it lay still.
Ye Xingchen let out a long sigh of relief. Although this thing wasn't particularly strong, its scales were truly invincible, making it quite difficult to kill.
"Alright, it's resolved. You can come out now." Ye Xingchen put away the Crimson Cloud and glanced at the dragon corpse lying on the ground.
This Zhulong's bloodline is not very pure; it is likely a species produced by mating with a Xuan Snake or similar creature.
Even so, the bloodline it possessed allowed its strength to advance by leaps and bounds.
But a hybrid is still a hybrid, and besides, this thing has survived the ancient catastrophe to this day, undergone transformation, and its achievements today are quite remarkable.
Unfortunately, its horns will be taken as a medicinal ingredient.
Chen Changqing led a group of people to rush up and run to the side of the Candle Dragon. When they observed the Candle Dragon up close, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Everyone was on edge while fighting this thing and didn't notice the shape of the Candle Dragon at all.
Only after this thing was knocked to the ground could everyone clearly see what it looked like.
Its enormous body, covered in scales the size of a child's palm, and especially its hundred-foot-long, bucket-thick body, is incredibly striking.
Even though this thing is now knocked to the ground, the power it exudes still carries a terrifying aura.
Even though Chen Changqing had extensive experience in wilderness survival and could take down a hungry wolf with just a dagger, he still gasped when he faced this enormous creature.
He suddenly realized that all the preparations he had made were completely useless; the scales on this thing were incredibly tough and couldn't be penetrated by ordinary bullets.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Xingchen, a sense of awe rising in his heart.
Just how strong is this person who managed to defeat such a ferocious creature?
Ye Xingchen didn't say a word. He stepped forward, took out his sword, pried off the horn of the Candle Dragon, and threw it in front of Xie Ya.
“Take this back to save your grandfather. I also have medicine here. After you improve his condition with the Candle Dragon Horn, give him my medicine. It should keep him alive for at least six months.”
After receiving the small medicine bottle from Ye Xingchen, Xie Ya didn't know what to say.
Ye Xingchen didn't have time to waste words with her, after all, he had more important things to do.
Seeing that Zhulong had been killed, he retrieved the Moon Root Grass he needed from the waterfall, allowing Li Zhenye's genitals to regrow.
Li Zhenye knows the secret about his father. His father is still alive, but now, apart from Li Zhenye, no one knows where his father is.
"Ye Xingchen, could you come back to Macau with me first? I'm worried that Grandpa really won't be able to hold on," Xie Ya said, composing herself and looking up.
"Sorry, I have more important things to do right now, and I don't have time to go back to the peninsula with you." Ye Xingchen glanced back at her.
