A loud bang echoed from the sky, and the crowd on the ground couldn't help but look up. No one expected Lin Yi to unleash such power in such a short moment.
Watching the explosion of light in mid-air, Zhang Xu and the others couldn't help but tremble, saying, "Is this the power of the Alliance Leader?"
However, amidst the dust and smoke, everyone on the ground was searching for the Storm War Dragon's location. Their hearts tightened. Could it be that Lin Yi's attack had killed the Storm War Dragon, who was on the verge of becoming a god?
"Is it that easy?" Li Dongcheng, who had transformed into a four-clawed golden dragon using his Martial Soul True Body, stared wide-eyed in Lin Yi's direction. He had expected a tough battle today, but who knew it would be so simple.
"He's not dead yet." Lin Yi sighed helplessly at everyone's surprise. Others couldn't detect the Storm War Dragon's aura, but how could he not?
"What does the Alliance Leader mean?"
"Hahaha! You impudent brat, I truly underestimated you."
Before Lin Yi could answer, the Storm War Dragon's voice rang out in mid-air. Zhang Xu and the others, who had begun to relax, instantly became tense. Li Dongcheng looked around, trying to find his figure.
"Heh, if that attack killed you, then demigod level wouldn't be worth much." Lin Yi sneered. Although the Storm War Dragon hadn't appeared before him, he had already discovered its location.
Lin Yi raised the Imperial Sky Sword in his hand. While this sword couldn't compare to the Sea God Trident, it was still somewhat effective against a demigod.
"Storm War Dragon, stop hiding. Let you and I fight honorably!"
"Good! Brat, I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as the words fell, the clear sky suddenly became stormy. The Storm War Dragon's shadow appeared before Lin Yi. Although Lin Yi's combat power had reached over 30 million points, he still felt some pressure facing the power of a demigod.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"
Facing the pressure of a demigod, Lin Yi didn't intend to drag things out. He activated his Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body. His entire body was covered in blue dragon scales, and the phantom of an Aurora Electric Dragon appeared behind him.
"Is he getting serious?"
Although Lin Yi had not yet reached the demigod level, after using his Martial Soul True Body, all nine of his soul rings attached themselves to him. Facing such a luxurious soul ring configuration, even the Storm War Dragon was shocked.
"He has a million-year soul ring? Is this guy a monster?"
If the Storm War Dragon knew that Lin Yi had never worried about soul rings and could buy them from the system anytime with enough money, a million-year soul ring would be nothing.
"Li Dongcheng!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Do not interfere in this battle. Protect them!"
"But..." Before he could finish, Lin Yi had already appeared before the Storm War Dragon. Li Dongcheng understood that even though he had just advanced to a four-clawed golden dragon, he was not yet capable of intervening in a battle of this magnitude. He could only obey Lin Yi's orders and returned to Zhang Xu and the others.
"Li Dongcheng, why did you come back?"
Pei Qinhu was very displeased. He didn't know it was Lin Yi's intention and couldn't help but complain.
"It's the Alliance Leader's order. I can only do as I'm told."
Li Dongcheng smiled helplessly and didn't explain further. Instead, he focused his gaze on mid-air. Lin Yi's first martial soul was the Aurora Electric Dragon, and his opponent was the Storm War Dragon. As the saying goes, "Clouds follow the dragon, and wind follows the tiger." The battle between two dragon-type martial souls naturally took place in the clouds. Except for Li Dongcheng, no one knew what the situation was like above the clouds.
However, the bursts of sound coming from the clouds told everyone how fierce the battle above was. Although their hearts were in their throats, no one dared to rush into the clouds to help Lin Yi.
"Storm War Dragon, aren't you ashamed of hiding, you demigod?"
Lin Yi stood in the clouds, scanning his surroundings with a fierce gaze. The battle had been intense, but perhaps because the Storm War Dragon had underestimated him, it had been hit and gone into hiding.
To Lin Yi's surprise, no matter how he taunted, the Storm War Dragon seemed to have disappeared. If he hadn't been able to sense its aura, Lin Yi would have already left.
"Although this brat hasn't reached the demigod level, I can feel that he is only one step away from my realm. Could the rumors on the Douluo Continent be true?"
The Storm War Dragon, hiding in the dark, was filled with doubt. He had long heard that if one person was about to become a god in this world, there would definitely be a second person about to become a god. Could this impudent brat before him be his destined rival on the path to godhood?
Although the Storm War Dragon didn't speak, Lin Yi's spiritual power had already reached the quasi-god level. Finding his hiding place was only a matter of time. However, Lin Yi also knew what he was planning. Both sides had consumed more than half of their soul power in the previous exchange. Although he had stepped into the Titled Douluo realm, such high-intensity combat was still a bit overwhelming.
Seeing Lin Yi standing still, the Storm War Dragon became suspicious. To his even greater surprise, Lin Yi retracted the Aurora Electric Dragon martial soul, and a Foxtail Grass appeared on his right hand.
"Five black, two red, one purple-gold, one black-gold!" Seeing these nine soul rings, the Storm War Dragon's eyes widened. Although the previous configuration might not have been as impressive as the Aurora Electric Dragon, the last soul ring was something he could never have imagined in his life.
"How is this possible!"
"Here!"
As soon as the Storm War Dragon spoke, Lin Yi pinpointed his location. The Foxtail Grass instantly appeared beside him. By the time he reacted, it was too late. The Foxtail Grass bound him like vines, and even as a demigod, he found it difficult to break free.
"What? Not hiding anymore?"
Lin Yi chuckled and walked up to the Storm War Dragon. Seeing it bound tightly by the Foxtail Grass, Lin Yi squatted down.
"Brat, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" Lin Yi smiled sinisterly and placed the Imperial Sky Sword on its neck, saying, "Naturally, I'm going to kill you!"
"You... you spare my life, and I'll be your servant in the future!"
"Be your servant? That sounds quite nice."
"You... you agree?"
"I agree!"
Hearing this, the Storm War Dragon breathed a sigh of relief. But the next scene was something he could never have imagined. The Imperial Sky Sword in Lin Yi's hand pierced into his chest.
"You..." The Storm War Dragon stared at Lin Yi with wide eyes.
"Agreeing is absolutely impossible. It would be an affront to heaven if I don't deal with you today!"
"Lin Yi, don't go too far..."
Before the Storm War Dragon could finish, the Imperial Sky Sword in Lin Yi's hand slashed down. The demigod-level Storm War Dragon was instantly decapitated, but as a demigod, this wouldn't be enough to kill him, and Lin Yi knew this.
"Kill without mercy!" Lin Yi roared, and his spiritual power erupted, completely shattering the Storm War Dragon's last wisp of divine soul. This meant that on the Douluo Continent, the Storm War Dragon no longer existed.
