Dragon Against Dragon

After activating the Ice Dragon King's soul ring, Yu Yuan began setting up ice crystals around them while fighting at close range.

He was no brute like the Fire Dragon King. He had said it long ago—the Ice Dragon King's skill set suited him far better.

Once the number of ice crystals reached the critical point, Yu Yuan used his soul skill without hesitation.

Permafrost · Dragon-Scale Frost Coffin!

The surrounding ice crystals instantly closed in on Blood Abyss, preparing to freeze him.

But Blood Abyss displayed astonishing combat instincts.

The moment he noticed that his left hand, which he had raised to defend, was being encased, he immediately severed his own left arm with his right hand.

He then wrapped his entire body in blood aura, shattering the approaching ice crystals at speeds invisible to the naked eye.

He also used the blood aura to blast the shattered ice crystals away.

"Buddy, just how many times have you fought?"

Permafrost · Dragon-Scale Frost Coffin would not end merely because the ice crystals had been shattered. If the opponent did not blast away the fragments, they would accumulate to a certain point and launch a sneak attack, working together with the intact ice crystals to complete the freeze.

Unfortunately, not only had the opponent cautiously blasted them away, the shattered ice crystals had also slipped out of control due to the blood aura's corrosion.

And it was obvious that the opponent could not possibly know Yu Yuan's techniques. In other words, this was the best solution Blood Abyss had come up with the very first time he saw it.

"Just how many more surprises are you going to give me?"

Yu Yuan's Dragon Spine appeared, while both of his hands became entwined in Ice Dragon King-style ice crystals.

From now on, every one of my attacks will be repeated twice.

He dashed to Blood Abyss's side and threw a punch!

Blood Abyss counterattacked.

Within 0.1 seconds, Yu Yuan threw another punch while gathering the ice crystals.

Blood Abyss continued trading blows while blocking the ice crystals.

Then he discovered an attack appearing where there was clearly no one.

A replication from 0.1 seconds ago!

Blood Abyss had obviously not been prepared for it, and Yu Yuan, with Dragon Spine activated, landed blow after blow.

Ice crystals were left on the spots he struck, while some of the surrounding crystals that had not been shattered successfully gathered onto Blood Abyss's body.

Just as Blood Abyss was about to be completely covered in ice crystals, Yu Yuan suddenly discovered that a large portion of the Soul Power he had been supplying to Blood Abyss had vanished.

Retreat quickly!

With a roar, the concentration of blood aura around Blood Abyss reached an unprecedented height.

After directly blasting apart every ice crystal around him, the highly concentrated blood aura gathered within Blood Abyss, who had already activated Dragon Transformation.

Then four muscular dragon claws extended from beneath his armpits and from his back.

Blood Abyss, Six-Armed Heavenly Demon Form.

"Buddy, do you really not think that look is ugly?"

To be honest, if one only looked at its appearance, this form was rather ugly.

Perhaps because Blood Abyss had not yet reached his complete form, the six arms spawned by the blood aura were not fully covered in scales.

Large amounts of pink muscle were exposed, making him look exceptionally grotesque.

And most importantly, two open eyes had suddenly appeared on the right half of his face, while the eye on the left even contained three pupils.

Holy crap, what kind of twisted creature is this? Did he give up looks for combat power?

Don't you know that if you're not handsome enough, it's really easy to get killed by some handsome protagonist who pops out of nowhere?

Unfortunately, the instant he was attacked, Yu Yuan was no longer in the mood to complain.

Think about it: with the help of Dragon Spine, one punch from Yu Yuan could strike twice. Then how many hands would the opponent need to block it?

Naturally, two—and Blood Abyss now had six.

Thus, Yu Yuan was the one forced onto the defensive again.

It was too absurd. Blood Abyss could perfectly trade blows with Yu Yuan from 0.1 seconds ago while handling Yu Yuan in the present, and his remaining two hands continuously defended against the ice crystals while sealing off Yu Yuan's escape routes.

Only then did Yu Yuan truly realize the strength of "himself."

The Ice Dragons protecting his body were constantly shattered, and their reformation speed could not keep up with Blood Abyss's attacks. Clearly, when facing an opponent like Yu Yuan, who favored battlefield control—

Blood Abyss had abandoned the mechanics granted by blood aura and intended to rely on his unparalleled stats to smash Yu Yuan apart before he could finish setting up.

Then it seemed it was time to enter my least favorite part: comparing stats.

The Fire Dragon King's soul ring flashed. Soul Power within Yu Yuan's body began to burn, and an anger from nowhere suddenly surged forth.

Fury Flame · Heaven-Burning Blaze!

Filled with fury, Yu Yuan threw a punch brimming with the charm of raw stats.

Although Blood Abyss noticed the change in his opponent, he chose to trust his battle-hardened body and his recovery ability, which could handle any injury.

Then I'll avoid your edge!

Counterattack!

Tremendous power collided head-on, and the powerful shockwave directly flattened everything around them.

After a brief stalemate.

Yu Yuan's flaming fist directly crushed the bones and muscles in the opponent's arm, pulverizing one of Blood Abyss's arms while releasing flames to burn it and prevent recovery.

After realizing he could not quickly regenerate his arm, Blood Abyss simply gave up on recovering it and continued attacking.

Unfortunately, the one with higher stats now...

Was me!

Every swing of Yu Yuan's heavy fist inflicted wounds on Blood Abyss that could not heal naturally, while Blood Abyss, who had invested everything into his stats, could no longer resist Yu Yuan.

Therefore!

A duel between oneself and oneself!

The convergence of different time and space!

A battle between man and man!

The final victor!

Was Yu Yuan!

Standing there, Yu Yuan looked at Blood Abyss, who continued throwing punches at him through sheer willpower even though every bone in his body had been broken.

He regained control over himself.

I acknowledge you.

I am very satisfied with this battle.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! My Lord is awesome!"

Xiao Kong began cheering. Blood Abyss had clearly used his full strength this time, aside from the Blood Dragon, yet Yu Yuan had still held back.

After all, he could not possibly use those soul skills that caused self-destruction or burned mental power and life force.

But Yu Yuan had enjoyed the fight immensely. He did not even know how long it had been since he had enjoyed such a satisfying battle.

So after resting for a while, it was time to begin the second match.

Don't misunderstand. Yu Yuan did not intend to fight another round so quickly. The opponent for the next battle was someone else.

Once the Soul Power in his body had recovered, Yu Yuan summoned the Golden Dragon.

At the same time, he controlled Blood Abyss and completed the summon.

"Roar!"

Unlike the Golden Dragon's golden scales, the Blood Dragon, which had grown through blood aura, was covered from head to toe in blood-red dragon scales.

Its body was covered in all manner of scars. The muscles around those wounds had burst apart, forcibly pushing up some of its scales. Massive fangs were exposed, and its blood-red vertical pupils stared fixedly at the Golden Dragon before it.

Clearly, this was also a master of close combat. No, a master dragon.

And the Golden Dragon had only one thought about the Blood Dragon.

So ugly.

As someone who loved gold, he could not tolerate another creature with a face resembling his own wearing blood-red scales.

This was the greatest provocation to his name as the Golden Dragon!

"If you want to fight, then begin."

Sensing the Golden Dragon's fighting spirit, Yu Yuan naturally would not stop him.

After likewise releasing his control over the Blood Dragon, the battle between dragons was about to begin.

The second round of the parallel duel!

Dragon against dragon!
