Deep within the Yan City Forest, Lin Ge looked up at the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon hovering in the sky. His expression remained impassive, but the Yuan power within his body surged quietly. Sword intent flooded into his right hand like a rising tide, his posture ready to strike at any moment.
In contrast, the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon appeared perfectly calm. Although his heart was filled with fury, he would not lose his composure over a mere human.
As a powerful demonic beast, the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon possessed high intelligence; he could express his emotions naturally and perceive the emotions of others.
He could sense that the human before him was a troublesome opponent with immense strength, yet he remained calm and confident that the man was no match for him. This was the pride that belonged to him.
"Hmph, quite arrogant, aren't you? Let me show you my true power!"
Lin Ge let out a cold snort. Condensing sword intent at his fingertips, he slashed out three consecutive beams of light that flew toward the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon in unison.
These three sword beams were different from the previous ones; they were infused with pure Yuan power, increasing their destructive force several times over.
The Demon Flame Emperor Dragon naturally sensed the danger of these three beams. He flapped his wings, whipping up a violent gale. Under the force of this wind, the sword beams encountered immense resistance, unable to advance further before dissipating in mid-air.
Having easily blocked Lin Ge's sword intent, the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon opened his maw and fired a fireball, which flew toward Lin Ge with an unusual, scorching heat.
This fireball was not a fiery red, but rather a dark purple, matching the flames covering the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon's body. Its temperature far exceeded that of ordinary fire, and its speed was so great that even Lin Ge did not have the confidence to dodge it.
"Break!"
Since he could not dodge, he had no choice but to meet it head-on. Watching the fireball streak toward him at high speed, Lin Ge did not hesitate; he swung his right hand and threw a punch.
BOOM!!!
Infused with both Yuan power and sword intent, his right hand erupted with tyrannical force, shattering the fireball into pieces. Lin Ge was pushed back several meters by the explosive shockwave before he finally managed to steady himself.
"What a formidable flame."
Lin Ge looked down at his scorched right hand, his expression growing even more solemn.
To avoid being burned, he had already channeled his purest Yuan power to coat his arm, yet he had still been scorched. It seemed the power of these flames exceeded his expectations.
"I want to see how many of my swords you can take."
Lin Ge slashed out dozens of sword beams in rapid succession. Each beam targeted a different angle, all flying toward the vital points of the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon.
Facing such a dense barrage of sword light, the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon wrapped his body in his wings, which were covered in black-purple flames. The sword beams struck the wings, but it appeared they failed to inflict any wounds.
"Damn, is he really that tough?"
Seeing the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon completely unscathed, Lin Ge couldn't help but curse. The scales of this beast were truly too hard—so hard that even Lin Ge felt a sense of helplessness.
The Demon Flame Emperor Dragon spread his wings, revealing his form once more.
At this moment, the beast's eyes were no longer calm; they were filled with rage. Although the previous sword beams hadn't caused any wounds, they had genuinely pained him, and that made him furious.
"ROAR!"
A thunderous roar echoed throughout the entire forest. Birds took flight in a panic, and wild beasts fled in all directions, not daring to linger.
"Quite intimidating."
Lin Ge narrowed his eyes, his focus never wavering for a second. After all, the strength of this demonic beast had indeed exceeded his expectations.
To the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon, Lin Ge's reaction was a provocation—an insult.
As a powerful beast with the bloodline of the Dragon race, how could he tolerate such provocation and insult from a human?
With another roar, the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon erupted with purple-black flames, raised his blood-stained claws, and dove from the sky toward Lin Ge.
"Come then."
Lin Ge did not back down. He poured all his sword intent into his right fist, leaped into the air, and collided fiercely with the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon's claws.
The impact between claw and fist instantly generated an intense surge of Yuan power. Like a violent gale, it uprooted the surrounding trees and left deep fissures in the earth.
A few seconds later, both parties pulled back, each retreating dozens of steps.
"Roar, roar..."
To be fought to a standstill in a test of strength by a human made the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon even angrier. He spat out a fireball, firing it furiously at Lin Ge.
Having already witnessed the power of these flames, Lin Ge dared not take it head-on. He dodged quickly while simultaneously slashing out several sword beams aimed at the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon's eyes.
The Demon Flame Emperor Dragon didn't even look at the sword beams; he simply blocked them with one wing, brushing them aside with ease.
BOOM!!!
At that very moment, the fireball struck the ground and exploded. Sparks showered everywhere, instantly igniting the trees on the nearby mountain and creating a sea of fire.
"Damn it, forget it! I'm not dodging anymore. I'm going to fight you to the end today!"
Lin Ge had been pushed to his limit by the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon. With a livid face, he gathered all his Yuan power and sword intent into his hands and charged forward, regardless of the consequences.
Facing this suicidal behavior, the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon showed no fear. He unleashed a torrent of flames, aiming directly at Lin Ge's face.
"Hah!"
Lin Ge let out a shout and punched directly into the incoming flames.
In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, and Lin Ge was swallowed by the fire, disappearing from the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon's sight.
Bang!
Suddenly, a faint sound rang out. The Demon Flame Emperor Dragon stared into the sea of fire, only to see a human figure leaping out rapidly, fist raised to strike.
The Demon Flame Emperor Dragon reacted with lightning speed, flapping his wings to retreat.
Lin Ge would never let the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon escape so easily. Watching the creature pull away, he punched out into the void, unleashing a sword light that bloomed with a dazzling cyan radiance. It transformed into a streak of light, moving like a thrown javelin; not only was its speed blinding, but its power was ferocious, reaching the front of the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon in a mere heartbeat.
BOOM!!
Caught with no time to dodge, the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon was instantly sent flying for several miles, snapping hundreds of massive trees along its path before finally coming to a halt inside a deep, craterous pit.
"Huff, huff..."
Lin Ge gasped for air, the searing pain radiating from his hands becoming unbearable and causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
On the other side, the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon slowly stood up, the flames clinging to its body burning even more violently, signaling that its fury had reached its peak.
The Demon Flame Emperor Dragon slowly opened its massive maw, and in an instant, a vast and terrifying power of flame began to condense frantically within its throat, drawing the energy of heaven and earth into its mouth along with it.
"Not good!"
Sensing this unusual aura, Lin Ge's expression shifted drastically; he surged his internal Yuan Power to its limit, concentrating every ounce of his Sword Intent onto his fingertips.
At that very moment, the Demon Flame Emperor Dragon unleashed a massive torrent of fire from its mouth, surging toward Lin Ge like an overwhelming tide that reduced every obstacle in its path to nothingness in an instant!
