Hot waves surged!
The Ancient Red Dragon's massive form enveloped Tang Zheng, accompanied by a heavy sense of oppression, its body covered in crimson, basin-sized scales.
Illuminated by the red glow emanating from the Magma Sea behind it, the Ancient Red Dragon resembled a red sun, its entire body radiating a metallic sheen.
The terrifying aura solidified the air.
Precious Magic Item?
What is it? Tang Zheng's expression was grave, and he subconsciously took a step back with his left foot.
This area, near the Magma Sea, was Sun Angler territory, and the sudden appearance of the Ancient Red Dragon was completely unexpected. What was going on?
Could it be that he had attracted it during his continuous release of Fifth Tier Magic?
Tang Zheng could only curse his bad luck inwardly. He had no idea what the "precious Magic Item" it spoke of was, and now was not the time to worry about that question.
He quickly scanned his surroundings.
The terrain in this area was not complex, but it was almost impossible to break through quickly.
Blocking him was a dragon!
Tang Zheng had thought that he would meet a real dragon in this world sooner or later, but that would be when his own strength was sufficient. He never expected it to be so soon.
The Sun Angler's level was around 47Lv, and the level of the Ancient Red Dragon in front of him would only be higher, not lower. What's more, it was from the strongest race, the Dragon race.
Even at the same level, they possessed the highest base attributes! "This is a headache!"
Tang Zheng's body tensed, and he cursed inwardly.
His Mana was already completely exhausted, and he couldn't use any Magic. Even if he used the Flight Magic to ascend quickly,
in front of a dragon who was also proficient in Flight, it would be like courting death.
"Hoo--"
The Ancient Red Dragon exhaled a hot wave from its nostrils, looked at the guy who was standing still, seemingly frightened, coldly raised its head, and looked down at the lowly creature beneath it: "Humble, inferior species, to be able to meet my great figure is already your honor. I don't like to repeat myself."
"Considering your ignorance as a lower species, as long as you offer the Magic Item on your body to me, you can leave here alive."
The arrogant and deep voice, filled with invisible majesty, echoed among the surrounding mountain walls.
After saying these two sentences.
A trace of impatience had already appeared in the depths of the Ancient Red Dragon's crimson and fierce eyes.
Each and every mere lower species human was not worthy of it speaking to them. If it were any other time, it would have already taken action to snatch it.
However! The obscure Mana on this human's body did indeed surprise it somewhat.
If it weren't for its innate keen sense of Mana, it probably wouldn't have been able to detect the obscure Mana fluctuations on the other party's body.
The aura of the human in front of him should belong to the strong among those low-level races, but in front of the great true dragon, he was just a small character that could be solved easily.
Although that obscure Mana fluctuation didn't feel dangerous in its perception, it chose to communicate with the lower creature in front of it out of caution brought about by its long lifespan.
Hearing the Ancient Red Dragon's words.
Tang Zheng's eyelids drooped slightly, knowing that it was impossible for him to retreat safely.
As an arrogant Dragon, how could the other party easily let go of his ant-like existence.
If he was an ant... he could only take action!
Several thoughts flashed quickly through Tang Zheng's mind.
The two negative states of Dark Wave should have no effect on the Dragon race, which was born with extremely high resistance, so the damage effect could not be triggered.
Since that's the case!
Swish.
Tang Zheng didn't hesitate at all, his legs pressed down suddenly, and the Magic Greatsword appeared in his hand.
It was at the very moment the weapon appeared in Tang Zheng's hands.
The Ancient Red Dragon's arrogant and impatient fiery red pupils suddenly contracted. In that instant, it felt a trace of death from the inferior creature before it.
It felt as if a chill suddenly rose from the back of its neck.
Bang! Tang Zheng's figure moved at this moment, his feet stomping hard on the ground, disappearing from the spot, turning into a black afterimage, and rushing towards the Ancient Red Dragon.
"Base human, how dare you defy the great True Dragon!"
The Ancient Red Dragon was both shocked and angry. Its slender neck arched back, and then it realized something. A burst of shameful anger filled its heart, and it let out an almost roaring shout.
It had actually felt a moment of Fear just now! How could I be afraid of an inferior being? Impossible!
The Ancient Red Dragon glared with its ferocious fiery red eyes, not believing that it would feel Fear.
But the rich sense of threat that emerged out of nowhere from the inferior human in front of it forced it to respond immediately.
The speed of this human in front of it was not considered fast.
So the Ancient Red Dragon directly opened its mouth, and a violent scarlet light gathered in its mouth, and then turned into a sea of fire, spewing out of its mouth.
"Flame Breath!"
Rumble!
The smell of sulfur and pumice instantly permeated the area, and the scorching flames released astonishingly high temperatures, surging towards Tang Zheng like a blanket.
Faced with this fan-shaped, large-scale dragon breath attack!
Tang Zheng, who was about to rush in front of the Ancient Red Dragon, knew that he could not avoid it at all.
Tang Zheng's current level of defense could not withstand this level of attack, not to mention that he did not have fire resistance.
But that didn't mean he couldn't block it!
"Impure Impact Shield!" Tang Zheng's eyes widened, and he let out a violent shout.
Boom! Scarlet energy centered on Tang Zheng, turning into an unstoppable Shockwave, spreading around, and colliding with the Flame Breath in an instant.
At the moment when the two forces came into contact, there was no imagined energy collision or fierce roar! Like melting snowflakes, the terrifying Flame Breath quickly dissipated!
"What is this—"
The Ancient Red Dragon looked at this scene in disbelief.
Whoosh! At this time, Tang Zheng had already rushed in front of the Ancient Red Dragon, pressed down with his legs, and jumped up, reaching a height of seven or eight meters in front of the Ancient Red Dragon's chest.
Clatter! A trace of panic appeared on the Ancient Red Dragon's face, flapping its wings, trying to get up.
A gust of wind swept through.
Seeing that his hard jump could only reach the chest of the old red dragon after it stood up, a trace of regret flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes, and then was replaced by a cold light.
"Die!"
"Rapid Slash!"
Tang Zheng held the Magic Greatsword in both hands, and a black Curse Power covered the blade, and he slashed down hard.
This situation in front of him.
It was not the time to feel sorry for the Magic Greatsword being destroyed by the Curse Power.
The blade exploded with terrifying force, directly cutting through the air in front of it, and heavily hacked on the metal-like, hard, and thick red scales on the Ancient Red Dragon's chest.
Aura of Courage triggered - Melee contact, the first damage is guaranteed to be a critical hit! (PS: Critical hit 1.5)
Weapon Additional Specialization triggered - Slashing Damage · 110%, Area Damage · 50%.
The stacking of the 10% triple effect of the Rapid Slash skill damage allowed Tang Zheng to explode with more than three times the basic attack value in an instant. This was a level of power that surpassed what ordinary people could understand.
Puchi!
The hard, fiery red scales on the Ancient Red Dragon's chest were like fragile pieces of paper, easily shattered by the Magic Greatsword, and cut into the opponent's body.
Tang Zheng held the hilt of the sword in both hands, and as his body fell from the air, he wanted to completely cut open the Ancient Fire Dragon's chest like committing seppuku.
"Roar! Get out of here, human!"
The Ancient Fire Dragon let out a painful howl, its enormous fire-red wings beating rapidly. As it took to the air, its strong, powerful fire-red dragon claws slammed down with force.
The sound of rushing wind from above made Tang Zheng's expression change. He had to quickly pull the Magic Greatsword from the Ancient Red Dragon's chest and hold it above his head.
Compared to his instantaneous burst of offensive power, his own defensive capabilities were much weaker.
A heavy force traveled down his arms.
Bang! Tang Zheng felt a numbness in both arms, and like a shooting star, his body crashed heavily into the ground uncontrollably.
The scalding mountain wall vibrated, and a human-shaped crater appeared on the ground.
"Pfft!"
Tang Zheng crawled out of the crater in a sorry state, spitting out a mouthful of blood that quickly evaporated in the ground's high temperature.
His trembling, numb arms could barely grip the Magic Greatsword.
Crack!
A faint cracking sound came from the Magic Greatsword, and a noticeable crack appeared on its surface.
"It's not just the influence of the Curse Power; the power that erupted just now was probably too much for this Magic Greatsword to handle."
Tang Zheng coughed, raised his arm, wiped the blood from his mouth, and lifted his head with an icy gaze to look at the sky.
"Roar!!"
In mid-air, the Ancient Red Dragon's painful roar echoed, and a huge, several-meter-long wound sprayed blood like a fountain.
"You lowly, despicable species!"
"Damn ant!!"
The Ancient Red Dragon's furious dragon roar resounded through the sky, but its voice revealed an undeniable weakness, and even its flying posture was noticeably unstable.
It had clearly suffered a heavy blow!
"Cough, cough."
Tang Zheng finally steadied himself and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood. He grinned, "As expected of a dragon, it can withstand more than three times the damage of that attack."
"Roar…"
In mid-air, the Ancient Red Dragon, which had been barely holding on, suddenly let out a wail, and its body fell uncontrollably towards the ground.
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed. The "instant death" attack contained within the Curse Power should have taken effect.
However, with the Dragon race's innate resistance, it might be able to withstand it, but it shouldn't be a problem to weaken its body.
Tang Zheng endured the pain and numbness in his arms and grabbed the already cracked Magic Greatsword again, wanting to deliver the final blow after the Ancient Red Dragon crashed to the ground.
However! During its fall, the Ancient Red Dragon still weakly flapped its wings, tilting its descent towards the Magma Sea.
As the red light fell, a towering wave of magma erupted in the Magma Sea!
Tang Zheng paused his action to deliver the final blow, and his eyelids twitched as he looked at the incredibly hot Magma Sea in the distance.
"That damn Red Dragon doesn't even want to die in front of me. No, for a Red Dragon, the high temperature of magma is nothing."
"But isn't that the territory of the Sun Angler?"
Tang Zheng's eyes flickered, and he finally stopped hesitating, covered his chest, and quickly turned to leave.
He couldn't get close to the Magma Sea, so there was no chance to deliver the final blow. He could only wait for the next time! Tang Zheng hadn't forgotten the threat of the Slane Theocracy. No one could be sure when they would arrive. Now that his mana was exhausted and his body was seriously injured, he had to leave this dangerous area as soon as possible.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a violent suction force appeared above the Magma Sea. Immediately afterward, a resentful dragon's roar came from within the Magma Sea.
"Go to hell, human!"
Before Tang Zheng could react, he was uncontrollably pulled off the ground by this powerful suction force and flew towards the Magma Sea.
Before he even got close to the central area.
The scalding heat had already begun to scorch Tang Zheng's body, and large areas of his skin began to burn.
"Courting death!!"
Tang Zheng's face showed a painful expression, and he roared loudly, "*Impure Impact Shield!*"
A scarlet-black Shockwave spread, forcibly canceling out the terrifying suction force.
"Purifying Throwing Spear!"
But at this moment, Tang Zheng had already been forcibly pulled to an area close to the Magma Sea, the skin all over his body scalded Blood Red by the scalding steam. Enduring the severe pain, he waved his hand and threw out a Purifying Throwing Spear.
Tang Zheng turned around and quickly retreated to the periphery.
Splash! The huge figure of the Sun Angler leaped out of the Magma Sea, its eyes, as if flowing with some kind of red liquid, staring in Tang Zheng's direction, and huge tentacles, like palms and lanterns, shot out.
The scalding air was blasted away!
Tang Zheng heard the movement coming from behind and looked back, his face changing drastically.
If he were only facing the Ancient Red Dragon or the Sun Angler alone, Tang Zheng would not be afraid. The environment of the lava zone did have too much influence on him.
"Damn it, the Impure Impact Shield is used up!"
He had just used up both chances, and now he could no longer use it to avoid the Sun Angler's attack.
"Heroic Spirit Soul!"
Tang Zheng roared.
Whoosh! A milky white figure surged out of Tang Zheng's body, blocking in front of him.
The next moment! It was grabbed by the Sun Angler's tentacles and pulled into the lava. In the lava-like water splashing out, a fist-sized, small red fish-like Demon Creature, similar to the Sun Angler, appeared.
This small fish-like Demon Creature should have been brought out of the lava by the Sun Angler's tentacles.
There are other fish-like Demon Creatures in the lava?
The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he quickly retreated.
Rumble!
"Let me die! Let me die!" The Ancient Red Dragon's weak scream came from the depths of the lava.
A powerful suction force appeared again.
This time, Tang Zheng was unable to resist the suction force. Feeling his body being pulled off the ground again, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Reaching out, he grabbed the small Sun Angler, which was emitting ultra-high temperatures all over its body, in his hand.
