Vast torrents of true energy poured into the blade.
BOOM—!!!
The river exploded.
Jiang Yuechu stamped down, and the water behind her feet was instantly crushed into a vacuum.
Harnessing that terrifying recoil, she transformed into a streak of silvery-white light.
Ignoring the water's resistance, she crossed dozens of yards in an instant.
Her blade pointed straight at the Black Flood Dragon!
"Looking to die?!!!"
The Black Flood Dragon flew into a complete rage.
It hadn't expected this half-blood mongrel to dare provoke it, let alone launch a killing move right off the bat.
ROAR—!!!
A deafening dragon's roar exploded in the dark depths.
Immediately after,
a streak of icy blue light shot from its gaping maw.
Light ice, thin jade, a foot of cold gleam enough to cleave the clouds.
The blade was translucent, its radiance like a full moon.
The moment it appeared, the surging river water seemed to freeze for an instant.
As if the galaxy had been cleansed and the rivers and seas had turned back.
The Black Flood Dragon lowered its head, holding the blade in its mouth.
Riding the current, it whipped its dragon head around.
RUMBLE—!!!
Silt churned.
CLANG—!
The clash of metal rang through the heavy water, making everyone's eardrums ache.
Jiang Yuechu's hand went numb around the hilt.
A fiercely domineering, frigid force surged back through the handle.
She shot backward dozens of yards underwater, kicking off the air again and again, bursting a string of bubbles before finally managing to steady herself.
She looked back at the Black Flood Dragon.
Its enormous body had also been flipped by the force of the impact. It rolled several times underwater, still clenching the Deep Blue Long Blade in its jaws, the killing intent in its eyes even fiercer.
They were... evenly matched!
