A Perfect Enemy

When the red-and-white tide slowly receded, Xiao Heng reappeared before everyone. He gripped his swords with both hands, golden light flickering across his body. Protected by dragon scales, the attack had not caused him much harm.

But the same was true for Hun Chen.

Blood-red energy surged around him. Suddenly, he shot forward, charging straight at Xiao Heng. Scarlet energy flashed again and again, his speed reaching the extreme.

"Blood Soul Hundred Shadows Kill!"

His shout resounded through the heavens. The scarlet figure suddenly split apart, and a hundred blood shadows rushed forth at once, surrounding Xiao Heng and shooting at him from every direction.

Xiao Heng's expression was grave. Strictly speaking, he did not possess any particularly powerful defensive Dou Techniques. The reason was simple: the dragon scales covering his body were already his greatest defense.

Facing the hundred blood shadows, the Golden Core within his middle dantian spun at high speed. A phantom golden dragon spread phoenix wings across its back, and Xiao Heng's body suddenly expanded, transforming him into a dragon-human over two meters tall.

Golden light enveloped him. When the first blood shadow's crimson blade struck his body, he neither dodged nor retreated, allowing the scarlet attack to land.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal striking metal rang out from behind Xiao Heng. The blood blade hit the golden light, yet his body did not tremble in the slightest.

Xiao Heng thrust his sword backward into the blood shadow's chest. The blade pierced the shadow, sword qi surged forth, and the blood shadow was instantly shredded.

Then, a hundred blood shadows descended in an instant. Blood blades fell continuously. Xiao Heng dodged when he could, blocked when he could not, and endured head-on when blocking was impossible.

Then he counterattacked, sword after sword, shredding every blood shadow
