Ghostly Green Grudge Dragon Claw

Ye Qingtian barked coldly, fingers together like a sword. A dark-gold sword aura condensed to the utmost limit, no thicker than a finger, ignored the resistance of the lakewater and stabbed toward Lu Chen's back at a speed beyond thought!

This sword contained the true essence of his swordsmanship at the Longevity Realm. It locked onto Lu Chen's aura—there was no avoiding it!

A chill ran down Lu Chen's back as the shadow of death engulfed him.

At the critical moment, a trace of madness flashed through his eyes.

Not only did he not dodge, he abruptly spun around and formed a strange hand seal before his chest—an auxiliary method from the Azure Dragon inheritance for drawing upon the power of seals!
