"Both of you, get out of the way first!"
Qin Yu had barely finished speaking.
When the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's massive body charged forward, its enormous steel-whip-like tail swept fiercely toward Qin Yu.
Boom!
The Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's tail struck empty air, cracking apart the ground where Qin Yu had just been standing.
Qin Yu darted aside, drew a snow-white flexible sword from her waist, and slashed at the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's head.
Clang!
The flexible sword struck the Flood Dragon King's head, ringing with the clash of metal against iron.
Roar!
The Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King roared, opened its blood-filled maw, and spat out over a dozen water arrows at Qin Yu. Qin Yu frantically dodged.
For a time, Qin Yu could only evade wildly and found it impossible to get close to the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King.
"Senior Sister, I'll hold it back!"
Taking advantage of the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's attack on Qin Yu, Lu Ren unleashed the power of all six Spiritual Apertures within him. His body flashed as he leaped high into the air, arriving above the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's head.
Boom!
Lu Ren swung his fist, carrying the force of a tiger, and smashed it viciously into the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's head.
The perfected Fierce Tiger Fist erupted with a force of more than ten thousand jin, smashing the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's head sharply to one side.
Then, Lu Ren threw several more frenzied punches.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Ren truly unleashed the might of the Fierce Tiger Fist. In just a few blows, he sent the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's enormous body reeling this way and that.
Roar!
After taking several consecutive punches from Lu Ren, the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King grew even more enraged. It changed targets, opened its blood-filled maw, gathered dozens of water arrows, and shot them toward Lu Ren.
"Junior Brother Lu Ren, be careful!"
Qin Yu shouted.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Facing water arrows as thick as arms, Lu Ren was utterly fearless. His body moved like a cat as he dodged frantically. No matter how dense the water arrows were, they could hardly harm him.
"He actually cultivated the Spirit Cat Steps to mastery too?"
Qin Yu was completely stunned.
Lu Ren had already been outrageous enough by cultivating both the Fierce Tiger Fist and Eight Trigram Palm to perfection. Yet he had even cultivated the Spirit Cat Steps to mastery.
One had to know that the Spirit Cat Steps were a movement martial skill, even more difficult to cultivate. Though it was a Human Tier Low-grade Martial Skill, even someone with her Sixth-grade Bloodline talent would struggle to reach mastery without three to five months.
But Lu Ren had entered the sect less than two months ago?
Qin Yu soon snapped back to her senses. With Lu Ren's strength, he could easily restrain the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King. How could she possibly miss this chance to kill it?
"Pear Blossom Sword Technique!"
With a tap of her toes, Qin Yu soared several zhang into the air. At the same time, the flexible sword in her hand thrust out wildly. Sword light filled the sky like pear blossoms battered by a rainstorm, shrouding the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's enormous body as it struck down viciously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground was already filled with sword light. Qin Yu and Lu Ren joined forces against the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King, engaging in a startling life-and-death battle amid the sky-full of sword light.
Though Lu Ren had only opened six Spiritual Apertures and held no advantage in raw strength, he could still restrain the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King with his perfected Eight Trigram Palm and mastered Spirit Cat Steps.
Wang Teng and Zhang Sheng, hiding in the distance, stared in shock at Lu Ren, who moved through the battle with ease.
"Is Junior Brother Lu Ren really a Scrap Bloodline? Could the Bloodline Testing Stone Tablet have made a mistake?"
"It must have tested him wrong. Senior Sister Qin Yu has a Sixth-grade Bloodline, but at this time last year, she wasn't nearly as strong as Junior Brother Lu Ren!"
"So it turns out we're the trash!"
They had thought Lu Ren's arrival would help them shake off the title of the twin wastes. Who would have thought that Lu Ren was not trash at all, but a genius?
At this moment, under Lu Ren's cover, Qin Yu continued unleashing sword moves, directly forcing back the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King.
Many scales fell from the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's body, and streams of scarlet blood gushed from beneath them.
As for Lu Ren and Qin Yu, aside from some tears in their clothes, neither had suffered any injuries.
Especially Lu Ren. This was his first time fighting Monstrous Beasts, and his blood was boiling. As he looked at the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King, boundless battle intent filled his eyes.
Roar!
The Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King, besieged by the two of them, also threw back its head and let out a beast-like roar. Demonic energy billowed all over its body as it rolled forward into Lu Ren and Qin Yu's attacks.
Boom! Boom!
The massive collision of demonic energy tore the air apart with a howling sound. The powerful impact blasted a pit several feet deep into the ground.
Lu Ren and Qin Yu were both sent flying two or three zhang away!
Roar!
The Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King roared once more. Blood light unexpectedly flickered at a spot one zhang below its head.
The snake scales on the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's body began transforming at a visible rate, turning into dragon scales.
Its aura also began rising wildly.
"Not good, it's about to complete its transformation!"
Qin Yu's expression changed.
Lu Ren shouted, "Senior Sister, there must be something where that blood light is flashing. I'll hold it back—we need to end this quickly!"
Once a first-order Monstrous Beast completed its transformation, it would become a second-order Monstrous Beast, with strength comparable to the Spirit Stream Realm. Forget killing it—they might very well leave their lives here.
Lu Ren charged forward again. His body shot out like an arrow leaving the bow, hurtling toward the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King.
Roar!
With its strength greatly increased, the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King frantically condensed water arrows in its blood-filled maw, firing them at Lu Ren like bolts of lightning.
Both the quantity and power of those water arrows were worlds apart from before.
Lu Ren pushed the Spirit Cat Steps to their limit, narrowly dodging one water arrow after another. Yet when the arrows missed and struck the ground, the splashing droplets still battered his body and caused him unbearable pain.
If I could cultivate the Spirit Cat Steps to perfection, I could dodge even those droplets!
Lu Ren gritted his teeth, keenly aware that his strength was still far too weak.
"Die!"
Seizing the moment, Qin Yu leaped forward and rushed before the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King. Catching it off guard, she drove her sword fiercely into its abdomen.
Awooo!
The Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King let out a pained cry.
Qin Yu pulled out her flexible sword, only to see intense blood light burst from the wound in its abdomen. A palm-sized blood jade, blazing like fire, flew out from within and fell to the ground.
"That's Tuoshe Blood Jade!"
Qin Yu's beautiful eyes filled with shock.
After losing the blood jade inside its body, the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's aura instantly withered, and it completely lost its ability to fight.
Seeing this, Lu Ren charged forward and unleashed a frenzy of Fierce Tiger Fists upon the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's head.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After more than a dozen punches, the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King's head was smashed apart, and its enormous body crashed heavily onto the ground.
The thunderous crash filled Wang Teng and Zhang Sheng, watching from afar, with horror.
Junior Brother Lu Ren had actually beaten the Emerald Phosphorus Flood Dragon King to death with his bare hands.
Yet Qin Yu's gaze fell upon the blood jade lying on the ground.
She quickly walked over, picked up the blood jade, turned to Lu Ren, and said, "Junior Brother Lu Ren, this is Tuoshe Blood Jade. Your opportunity has arrived!"
"Tuoshe Blood Jade? What is that?"
Hearing Qin Yu's words, Lu Ren's face was full of curiosity.
Before Qin Yu could speak, Wang Teng and Zhang Sheng also walked over. When they saw the Tuoshe Blood Jade, shock likewise appeared on their faces.
"It's actually Tuoshe Blood Jade. No wonder the Emerald Scale Snake King could transform into a Flood Dragon King!"
"Who would have thought Black Tiger Ridge possessed Tuoshe Blood Jade? Junior Brother Lu Ren, your Scrap Bloodline has finally found its use!"
