High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 220 - 89: Crushing the Fire Flood Dragon, Boiling the Lake with Flame and Ice!

Chapter 220: Chapter 89: Crushing the Fire Flood Dragon, Boiling the Lake with Flame and Ice!

For a moment, the Fire Flood Dragon was a bit puzzled. Was this person before it of the same race as those ants that had previously died at its hands?

"I can’t fully enjoy this battle in the lake, come on, let’s fight on the shore!"

Su Mu stepped onto the lake surface, leaping dozens of meters high before suddenly descending onto the shore.

Thud.

The earth emitted a deep, dull sound.

The Fire Flood Dragon sensed a great danger from Su Mu, but no strong enemy could be allowed to rest beside its lair, so it immediately roared and lunged at Su Mu with a swing of its tail.

"Perfect timing!"

Although Su Mu had mastered the Inner Breathing Technique, and the cold in the lake posed no threat to him, it still affected his performance. Standing firmly on solid ground gave him reassurance.

Immediately, he took a deep breath, his chest strong with a powerful heartbeat, and the blood in his body boiled fiercely.

In a flash of thought, a golden and blood-hued armor appeared, and then Su Mu activated the Secret of Power, allowing a mysterious force to circulate through his body. He gathered it in his right arm, then clenched his right fist and fiercely struck at the charging Blood Flood Dragon.

"Has he gone mad?"

The scene was terrifying; the Fire Flood Dragon’s body was dozens, even hundreds of times larger than Su Mu’s. Under such a disparity in size, it seemed utterly foolish to confront it head-on, if not suicidal!

Su Mu, a human martial artist, unexpectedly chose to engage in a physical fight with such a powerful beast whose physique was far beyond the ordinary. The Fire Flood Dragon was a formidable beast capable of reaching Great Grandmaster or even Martial Saint levels!

Bang.

With a loud crash, the earth quaked violently.

The imagined scene of Su Mu being instantly smashed into a pulp didn’t occur. Instead, Su Mu staggered back several meters, his feet sunk deep into the ground. However, the Fire Flood Dragon was not unscathed, getting blasted back into the Crescent Ice Lake.

With a splash, its massive body plunged into the water, raising towering waves.

"How is this possible?"

"This person... what a terrifying physique?"

"Could he be a Martial Arts Grandmaster? Yes, with such strength, he must be a Grandmaster, likely brought here by the Hunter Association specifically to hunt the Fire Flood Dragon!"

As they spoke, the Fire Flood Dragon let out an angry roar, and from the water, it slapped its tail, driving the icy lake water into gigantic water arrows about a meter thick and three to four meters long.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

The water arrows pierced the air, surging towards Su Mu.

The Flood Dragon species were natural overlords of the water, and even a Fire Flood Dragon had great command over aquatic environments, gaining significant combat power near water.

Seeing the sky filled with water arrows, Su Mu was mildly surprised. It seemed the lake water didn’t deter the Fire Flood Dragon’s abilities much, which was somewhat unexpected for Su Mu.

"These terrifying water arrows — probably even one would be hard for us to handle. What will he do?"

A flash appeared in Su Mu’s hand, revealing a long saber. In the next moment, an imposing and domineering Sword Momentum shot up to the sky, followed by the roaring sound of surging waves echoing throughout the scene.

A massive wave instantly formed behind Su Mu.

Surging Waves Saber Technique, Third Form: Overturning River!

Su Mu no longer needed to rigidly use the Surging Waves Saber Technique form by form. After innovating the fourth form by combining the Three Forms Combined, he could now wield the technique at will.

In an instant, the giant wave transformed into a water curtain facing the relentless water arrows.

Giant waves versus water arrows!

Crack crack.

The water arrows and waves collided fiercely, producing an indescribably piercing sound.

"It’s him?!"

"So it’s him."

Upon Su Mu’s strike, both individuals exclaimed in recognition. They both realized that Su Mu was the mysterious powerhouse who had previously slain the Gray Feathered Bird and Cyan Leaf Python.

"What a magnificent strike, I’ve decided, I’m going to become his disciple!" one of them said, face full of admiration.

The battlefield’s situation changed rapidly; the Fire Flood Dragon leapt from the water, letting out a long howl as more water arrows formed behind it. A terrifying Spiritual Shock was also contained within.

"Such a cunning creature, but it won’t work against me now!"

When the Fire Flood Dragon’s Spiritual Shock came within twenty meters of Su Mu, it was shattered under his Great Success Blade Momentum, and Su Mu unleashed another strike.

The vast array of water arrows was completely annihilated.

Swoosh.

The Fire Flood Dragon’s tail lashed out like a steel whip. Su Mu’s aura surged again, executing the Surging Waves Saber Technique, First Form: Riding the Wind!

The giant wave behind Su Mu fused with the long saber in his hand, and under the howling wind, yet another massive wave rolled towards the Fire Flood Dragon.

Boom!

Amidst the loud explosion mingled with the sound of shattering, a flash of blood appeared. The Fire Flood Dragon’s eyes, filled with deep apprehension, flashed across the lake’s surface as its scales were sliced open by Su Mu’s saber, leaving a deep blood mark on its tail, which rivaled the strength of a Grandmaster-level Weapon.

"What a thrill! You’re much stronger than Lin Peng."

"Come on, let’s continue!"

After cleaving with a saber, Su Mu whispered a sentence. The Fire Flood Dragon before him had an incredibly formidable physique, and even with the reinforcement from the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique, Golden Essence Armor, and the first layer of the Secret of Power, Su Mu found it difficult to gain an advantage.

Moreover, like Lin Peng, this creature had also taken the first step on the Path of the Grandmaster, and its mastery of Martial Momentum was in no way inferior to Lin Peng.

Fierce Beasts naturally have robust physiques, and their Martial Momentum lies in their bodies. If compared, it’s quite similar to Fist Momentum. The Fire Flood Dragon’s body could transform into a weapon, comparable to a Grandmaster-level Weapon.

Realizing the great threat Su Mu’s saber posed, the Fire Flood Dragon astutely closed in for close combat, making it difficult for Su Mu to wield his saber freely.

However, the Fire Flood Dragon forgot that earlier at the lake bottom, Su Mu hadn’t been at a disadvantage just using his physique.
