Dragon-Tiger Mountain Range.
The Dragon-Tiger Mountain Range is famous for its dragon and tiger-type soul beasts.
Among the many types of soul beasts, dragons and tigers are considered top-tier.
Almost any soul beast with dragon or tiger blood is incredibly powerful.
As the most powerful gathering place for dragon and tiger soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, it's possible for a 100,000-year-old soul beast to appear.
In the center of the southern mountain range, Ma Hongjun and his group finally arrived.
As expected, there were powerful soul beasts here.
Dragon shadows flew among the towering mountains, and dragon roars echoed from the depths of the forest.
The Demon God Mountain and White Tiger Ridge ahead were both habitats for tiger-type soul beasts.
"I wonder what kind of dragon it is?"
Dragons are mysterious and powerful. There aren't many dragons known in the soul master world. The dragon-type soul beasts commonly seen are usually sub-races, not true dragons.
Most of them only have dragon blood, and even that is very diluted.
The legendary Golden Sacred Dragon of the Douluo Continent hasn't been seen for many years.
Even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is rarely seen anymore.
Of course, the places where dragons live are extremely secluded, inaccessible to ordinary people.
Like this place before them, the mountain range they had crossed earlier was the territory of the Vajra Tiger, where a Vajra Tiger had lived for nearly 100,000 years.
This was already comparable to the combat power of a human Title Douluo.
Everyone was still very curious about the dragons; the dragons here were relatively pure.
Although they were sub-dragons, their dragon bloodline was much stronger, unlike the earth dragons and water dragons they usually saw, which only had a diluted dragon bloodline.
From the clear dragon roar, Yu Tianheng recognized a familiar sound.
As a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, his understanding of dragons was far greater than anyone else here.
"If I heard correctly, this should be a Wind-Singing Dragon. I've read in the ancient texts that there's a hegemon in the Southern Dragon-Tiger Mountains, and that's the Wind-Singing Dragon.
I think we should go around it. Wind-Singing Dragons are as swift as the wind and incredibly powerful. Even a thousand-year-old Wind-Singing Dragon is extremely troublesome. The ones
in this central area must be at least ten-thousand-year-old Wind-Singing Dragons.
And even a Title Douluo would find it difficult to deal with a ten-thousand-year-old Wind-Singing Dragon,"
Yu Tianheng advised. He knew the temperament of dragons—domineering and unpredictable—especially dragons like the Wind-Singing Dragon, which were extremely difficult to deal with.
Its speed was incredibly fast, like the wind. If it targeted you and you couldn't defeat it, you would only have one fate:
to become its food.
Ma Hongjun was also surprised to hear about the Wind-Singing Dragon. He knew
a little about it. As someone who had transmigrated, his interest in dragons was no less than his interest in women.
He had read a lot of information about soul beasts. Back at Blue Tyrant Advanced Academy, now Shrek Academy, he had seen an introduction to the Wind-Singing Dragon in the library.
There isn't much information about the Wind-Singing Dragon, as humans rarely hunt it. Records indicate it hasn't appeared for nearly a century and may be extinct.
Unexpectedly encountering it here, Ma Hongjun was eager to witness its divine power, though he worried that even a glimpse might cost him his life.
The dragon's roar echoed again.
"Let's hurry and go around the Wind-Singing Dragon," Bai Chenxiang called out, somewhat timid.
However, everyone was also considering avoiding it
. The Shrek Seven Devils had all faced Titan Apes before, and in their presence, they were suppressed like ants, with no chance of resistance.
The Wind-Singing Dragon, as the overlord of the southern Dragon-Tiger Mountains, even if not as powerful as the Titan Ape, wouldn't be far behind; at least it wouldn't be weak against a Title Douluo. Most importantly
, they worried there might be more than one Wind-Singing Dragon here.
If, like on Demon God Mountain, there were a group, then even a Title Douluo wouldn't be able to handle it.
"It's too late, it's already spotted us!"
Sword Douluo frowned, sensing a powerful Wind-Singing Dragon approaching them.
Everyone's hair stood on end, and they tensed up, watching the direction of the dragon's roar as they unleashed their Martial Souls.
"Scatter!"
Sword Douluo roared, his Seven Kill Sword already flying out. His seventh Soul Ring lit up, his Martial Soul True Form activated, and the Seven Kill Sword enlarged.
Just then, a massive, semi-circular azure blade of light slashed towards them.
The Seven Kill Sword blocked it.
Ma Hongjun saw it; this must be the Wind-Singing Dragon's wind-type skill, Wind Blade.
"Old Poison, you protect them, I'll deal with this Wind-Singing Dragon,"
Sword Douluo said, already taking flight, the Seven Kill Sword shrinking and flying back into his hand. The
Wind-Singing Dragon's body finally appeared. It emerged from the clouds like a streak of azure, its wings unfurling as it glided and swooped down.
"Third Soul Skill, Flowing Water."
Sword Douluo's third spirit ring shone, and with a horizontal swing of the Seven Kill Sword, a powerful sword aura spread out, heading towards Wind Dragon. The
Flowing Water sword, relying on its powerful aura, could force enemies back twenty meters, inflicting damage in the process.
Wind Dragon swooped down and collided with the Seven Kill Sword aura, being knocked back and letting out a dragon roar. It flapped its wings in mid-air, spinning to stabilize itself.
Immediately, a series of wind blades erupted from its wings, slashing towards Sword Douluo.
Sword Douluo used his weapon spirit body to defend, closing in on Wind Dragon.
Wind Dragon's ranged attack skill
was incredibly powerful, utilizing the force of the wind to amplify its attack. Most ranged skills weaken with distance, but Wind Dragon's was different; thanks to the wind, its power increased within a certain range, which was essentially its line of sight.
Wind Dragon's wind blades seemed to have no cooldown time; with each flap of its wings, wind blades formed.
However, such ordinary attacks were child's play for Sword Douluo; he could easily block them with a swing of his sword.
"This Wind-Singing Dragon should have over 70,000 years of cultivation,"
Yu Tianheng judged, looking at the dragon's massive body.
Ma Hongjun nodded in agreement. Judging from the dragon's outstretched length, it was estimated to be over ten meters, roughly between twelve and fifteen meters.
According to records, a Wind-Singing Dragon over ten meters long possessed 50,000 years of cultivation.
Ma Hongjun had researched extensively on Wind-Singing Dragons; his knowledge was no less than Yu Tianheng's. His
detailed understanding of the Wind-Singing Dragon stemmed not only from his interest in dragons but also from its connection to the Azure Bamboo Sound Serpent.
There are connections between different types of spirit beasts, and Ma Hongjun's research on the Azure Bamboo Sound Serpent mentioned the Wind-Singing Dragon.
The Azure Bamboo Sound Serpent was a low-level spirit beast; they could only cultivate to a maximum of a thousand years, and due to racial limitations, they rarely broke through to ten thousand years.
However, they could improve their strength through racial evolution.
Just like Blue Silver Grass – Blue Silver King – Blue Silver Emperor, a race has a hierarchy.
This is also an evolutionary path. The evolutionary
path of the Green Bamboo Sound Serpent is
Green Bamboo Sound Serpent – Wind Sound Serpent – Demonic Wind Dragon – Wind Chant Dragon.
It is said that the Wind Chant Dragon can evolve further, but this has not been mentioned.
Ma Hongjun is so interested in the Wind Chant Dragon because his first spirit ring came from the Green Bamboo Sound Serpent.
However, the Green Bamboo Sound Serpent does not have any ten-thousand-year spirit beasts, so it is obviously unrealistic for him to improve his spirit ring by hunting Green Bamboo Sound Serpents.
Therefore, the Wind Chant Dragon in front of him has become Ma Hongjun's target.
Ma Hongjun never dared to imagine that he would encounter the Wind Chant Dragon before.
Therefore, he was somewhat surprised when he heard about the Wind Chant Dragon.
"Be careful to dodge!"
Poison Douluo shouted a warning.
At this time, a fierce battle had already begun in the air. Due to Sword Douluo's approach, the Wind Chant Dragon quickly used wind blades, and countless wind blades tore through the air and attacked, but Sword Douluo could not spare any hands to block them all, so a large part of them attacked them.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
The surrounding giant trees suffered, the wind blades easily slicing them in two. Even some thousand-year-old tree spirit beasts couldn't withstand these powerful wind blades.
This was an indiscriminate attack within range, impossible to dodge.
Poison Douluo was at the forefront, the true form of the Azure Scale Serpent King revealed, its enormous serpent body coiled, its triangular tongue spitting out streaks of green light.
Ma Hongjun and the others formed a small formation, protecting several support spirit masters in the center.
It was a pity that Bai Baoshan wasn't there, otherwise, the defense would have been much easier.
To prevent the evil spirit masters from reappearing and harming the Fairy Robe Pavilion, Ma Hongjun entrusted Bai Baoshan to protect the Shuang'er sisters in the Star Luo Empire.
Ma Hongjun and Yang Feng stood on the left and right, blocking the way with their spears, which could withstand the spreading aftershocks.
Behind them were Dai Mubai and Xiang Chengxian, the two tigers,
Gu Tianlong, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, the two dragons and one serpent, plus the support of the others in the group.
Sword Douluo had closed in on Feng Yinlong, and his eighth spirit ring lit up.
The dark, gleaming spirit ring expanded in the air.
"Twelve Horizontal Slashes!"
The Seven Kill Sword split into twelve sword shadows, slashing down from all directions.
Each sword shadow possessed eighty percent of the original's attack power.
Feng Yinlong was too agile in the air, and Sword Douluo seized the opportunity, using the sword shadows to block its movement.
Feng Yinlong was not to be outdone, conjuring three clones.
This was its skill,
Wind Shadow Defense.
The three cyan figures formed a three-dimensional triangular shape, enveloping its original body in the center.
The twelve sword shadows slashed down, shattering the three cyan figures in succession, and several sword shadows pierced into Feng Yinlong's body.
A shrill dragon roar resounded; Feng Yinlong was injured.
It glared resentfully at Sword Douluo, then spread its wings and flew away as a streak of green.
Powerful soul beasts possess extremely keen senses; realizing it was no match for Sword Douluo, it quickly retreated.
