Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 927 - 930: Slaying the Flood Dragon [The End]

Feeling the overwhelming spiritual energy and sword intent, the Flame Sea Dragon trembled for the first time.

Because the aura emanating from Xia Liu made it feel familiar, made it feel fear.

That was the aura only a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator could possess!

That was the power of spiritual energy!

Xia Liu’s body seemed to be burning like fire, his blood vessels turning fiery red.

To kill the Flame Sea Dragon, he had already decided to risk everything!

Roar!

The Flame Sea Dragon let out a furious roar, its mighty palm strength shaking off the assaulting claws.

But the Flowing Fire Sword ruthlessly pierced into its head.

Yet it only went in three inches.

With a deafening roar of fury, the Flowing Fire Sword was directly shaken away.

Boiling hot blood flowed from the Flame Sea Dragon’s head.

The moment it touched its body, it was instantly evaporated.

It was imaginable just how blisteringly hot its body surface was.

Seeing the Flowing Fire Sword manage to pierce the Flame Sea Dragon’s head, Xia Liu’s confidence surged considerably.

At the very least, it showed that the Flame Sea Dragon’s flesh could be penetrated by a spiritual artifact.

There was a chance to kill it!

Gripping the Flowing Fire Sword, Xia Liu tried to focus and seize an opportunity to strike the Flame Sea Dragon down.

But the blood in his body, influenced by those three drops of spiritual energy, was in a state of agitation.

He couldn’t calm down, let alone stop.

And so, during the next moment in time,

Xia Liu formed seal decrees with his hands, unceasingly unleashing the spirit arts he was proficient in.

Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow, Extreme of Limitless, Five Elements Spirit Sword, Wind Blade...

A myriad of techniques erupted forth.

Rendering everyone on the opposite side of the cliff dumbfounded.

They stood frozen, staring ahead.

There lay their beliefs.

The ferocious beast that terrified the world.

A struggle they would never forget in their lifetime.

And a figure like an immortal among men.

With constant eruptions of power, the boiling blood within Xia Liu’s body gradually calmed.

However, this relentless output left Xia Liu feeling as though his dantian was about to be emptied out.

The power brought by those three drops of spiritual energy was slowly dissipating as well.

If he failed to slay the beast before the power vanished,

he might have to face the ultimate choice.

In the most critical moment, he might even release all of his divine sense.

But if he did that, his consciousness would fall into slumber…

A terrifying disaster would follow…

"No! I can’t break the seal!"

Clenching his teeth, Xia Liu held the Flowing Fire Sword in front of him. Breaking the seal was no different from unleashing the Flame Sea Dragon.

The consequences might be even more horrifying.

"Flowing Fire Transformation!"

As a middle-grade spiritual artifact, Xia Liu had yet to fully unlock the power of the Flowing Fire Sword.

Flowing Fire Transformation was just one of its techniques.

But now, he had no choice but to gamble with it.

Violent flames continuously surged on the Flowing Fire Sword.

At the same time, the Flame Sea Dragon, sensing the Flowing Fire Sword’s aura, immediately became exhilarated.

It took a deep breath, as if challenging Xia Liu to see whose flames were stronger.

Whoosh!

As the Flame Sea Dragon opened its mouth, an overwhelming torrent of fire roared out.

The way it looked was as if it wanted to scorch the heavens.

Seeing this, Xia Liu gripped the Flowing Fire Sword tightly and slashed forcefully.

A burst of violent flames erupted.

The difference between Xia Liu’s flames and those of the Flame Sea Dragon, though, was that,

Xia Liu’s fire lacked extreme heat.

But it shocked the very soul of the Flame Sea Dragon.

For buried within these flowing flames was the Karmic Fire!

Though it was the lowest-grade Karmic Fire, its powers were enough to command the respect of the strong.

One careless moment, and it could incinerate even one’s soul.

Whoooosh!!!

The collision of the two enormous firestorms blanketed the entire surrounding space.

The dim sky was illuminated by fiery brilliance.

If not for the presence of a powerful barrier, the Guo Family members likely would have been roasted alive by the terrifying heat.

Gradually, the clashing flames started inching toward Xia Liu’s position.

Witnessing this fearsome scene, the Guo Family members trembled to their core.

It was clear to see that Xia Liu’s fire was inferior to the Flame Sea Dragon’s.

If he couldn’t hold his ground, Xia Liu might very well fall here.

Because after so long a battle, he was beginning to falter.

"Mom! He’ll turn the situation around, right?"

Guo Man couldn’t bear to watch any longer, her gaze shifting to her mother.

Even though Xia Liu had hurt her, and deeply so,

at this moment.

Guo Man didn’t want anything bad to happen to Xia Liu.

There was no one here who could match the Flame Sea Dragon except for him.

This ferocious beast breaking through the barrier would mean a catastrophe for humanity.

A disaster for the entire world.

"Little Man, I can’t say for sure, but I believe in Xia Liu. He must be able to turn the tide."

"Sigh, Chief Xia is already exhausted. If he doesn’t kill the Flame Sea Dragon within one incense’s time, he will…"

Guo Po left the sentence unfinished.

From Xia Liu’s earlier performance, it was clear that he couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Perhaps, not even one incense’s time left...

"Xia Liu…"

Guo Man’s throat choked up, unable to utter the remaining words.

At this moment, she realized she could feel heartache for him.

She realized all the past hurts dissolved amidst his life-and-death struggle.

If it were possible, Guo Man would rather let go of her resentment toward Xia Liu.

If it were possible, she wouldn’t have delivered that fatal stab.

Perhaps it was precisely because of that stab that he ended up in such a predicament.

...

"Are we doomed?"

"Chief Xia can’t hold on any longer. Are we just going to sit and wait?"

"Brother Duan, you’re so knowledgeable. Is there a way to help Chief Xia?"

As the Deputy Hall Master of the Forbidden Martial Hall, Guo Gang believed Duan Tiandao’s extensive knowledge might offer a solution.

"Daoist Fellow Guo Gang, don’t flatter me. Against such a creature, how could I possibly have the ability? Aside from Innate Martial Artists, who could confront a ferocious beast of this level?"

Duan Tiandao was utterly embarrassed; he was merely a Path-Entering Martial Artist, how could he dream of dealing with the Flame Sea Dragon?

"Sigh, and what of Innate Martial Artists? They’re just standing there watching helplessly."

Guo Po sighed heavily.

Ever since encountering Xia Liu, he had found himself sighing in helplessness countless times.

He had once thought the Innate realm was the peak of the Martial Dao.

But now it seemed the world was full of martial arts experts far beyond his reach.

Xia Liu was living proof, able to battle the Flame Sea Dragon until now.

His prowess was enough to show he had surpassed the level of the Innate Martial Artist.

Even supreme experts could fall in battle; against the Flame Sea Dragon, an Innate would be nothing more than cannon fodder.

Buzzing!!!

Just as everyone was sinking into despair, a peculiar buzzing sound suddenly echoed in their ears.

"That’s the sound of a sword!"

As a Sword Cultivator, Guo De immediately recognized the source of the sound.

The sound of a sword!

Hmm?

Confused, everyone swiftly shifted their gaze toward the Flame Sea Dragon.

The next second, they were stunned to witness the Flame Flow splitting apart, a majestic figure emerging amidst the inferno, grasping the Flowing Fire Sword as he cut through the blazing tide!

"Five Elements Mantra, Water Spirit Break!"

Water overcomes fire, with the essence of the Water Spirit combined with the power of a spiritual artifact.

Xia Liu finally broke through the Flame Sea Dragon’s firestorm.

In the final moment, he leaped into the air, channeling every bit of spiritual energy in his body into the Flowing Fire Sword.

In an instant, his body spun furiously, Flowing Fire burst forth, and a lightning-speed streak of red pierced the flames, heading straight for the Flame Sea Dragon’s head.

Splurt!!!

The sound of penetration was deafening, and visibly, the streak of red at near-limit speed pierced through the Flame Sea Dragon’s skull.

In that instant, everything fell silent…
