A technique that can both enhance magical power and be used for attack is extremely rare.
This technique is a sword art, and when it came to this world, it was naturally regarded as a method of the Taoist sect, because the Taoist sect is the most skilled in sword formations.
Another sound of swords clashing rang out, and this time the Crimson Dragon's greatsword was easily cut in two.
"puff!"
The sword light pierced the body, leaving the red dragon with only one arm. Then, its figure continued to swim in the water, almost flashing away from beneath the sword light!
This isn't because the Crimson Dragon's physical body is so strong, but rather because of the supernatural abilities it cultivated after reaching the fourth rank.
This red dragon was so afraid of being chased by humans that it chose a supernatural power that allowed it to escape.
However, its choice was correct; this clever escape technique saved its life.
Li Chang'an saw a crimson shadow flash like lightning, swiftly darting into a cave entrance at the foot of the cliff.
The cave entrance was pitch black and looked very deep, and there were obvious traces of a magic array at the entrance.
Having reincarnated through two different worlds, Li Chang'an was well aware of the principle of "never entering a battle lightly."
The formation can trap people, weaken their defenses, or even launch an attack. The formation here was set up by a Taoist master, so Li Chang'an dared not enter lightly.
It's estimated that the two people the Crimson Dragon killed earlier were those who broke through the formation.
Li Miaozhen watched the lake surface nervously. Less than a quarter of an hour after Li Chang'an went down, there were signs of ripples on the water.
"Xiao Jin!"
Upon hearing Li Miaozhen's signal, Xiao Jin immediately grew larger. Li Miaozhen leaped up, drew her longsword, and prepared for battle.
However, she saw Li Chang'an emerge from the water, but there was no trace of the dragon.
Li Chang'an saw Li Miaozhen half-crouching on the golden eagle's back, her long sword ready to fly out, her face full of vigilance.
"Brother Li...didn't you find the dragon?"
Li Miaozhen seriously doubted whether such a short time was enough to dive to the bottom of the water.
She couldn't think of any other reason why Li Chang'an would leave empty-handed.
Could it be that he forgot to take something important?
"I wounded that dragon, and it escaped into a cave protected by an array. Come down with me and take a look."
If you can't break the formation either, then we'll go to Alliance Leader Cao for help."
Li Miaozhen didn't react for a moment. How could she have injured the dragon in such a short time?
Is Jiaolong not a fourth-rank official, but higher than Li Chang'an?
"Brother Li, how did you do that?"
Li Chang'an replied, "Attack by surprise, a sneak attack. Come down with me, would I harm you?"
As he spoke, he naturally took Li Miaozhen's hand, and the two of them went into the water together.
Li Miaozhen wanted to say, "If I had known you were this good, I should have gone into the water with you earlier."
Li Miaozhen was very curious about how Li Chang'an had managed to injure the Crimson Dragon, given that Li was a woman who was passionate about magical combat.
Before long, the two arrived at the underwater cave. Li Chang'an activated a water-repelling spell, and the two began to examine the formation.
"Ha ha!"
"I can count the number of formations I've learned on one hand, but I actually know how to solve this one."
Li Miaozhen was overjoyed. She really hadn't expected that she, who only had a slight understanding of formations, would recognize this particular formation.
She took out several small flags from her storage treasures and placed them at the entrance of the cave in different positions. Then she began to guide the spiritual energy to impact the formation.
Li Chang'an did not help, and Li Miaozhen successfully broke the formation in just over an hour.
As the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect, although she had seen few formations, those she had seen were beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators.
"As expected of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect, she does have some real skills."
Li Chang'an said calmly, and Li Miaozhen's eyes flashed with joy.
After all, since meeting Li Chang'an, Li Miaozhen felt that Li Chang'an was better than her in every way. Now that she could finally do something that Li Chang'an could not do, her pride was evident.
Inside the cave dwelling was another world, very spacious, and one could breathe without using any water-avoidance techniques. There were no pavilions or towers, only several huge stone chambers that had been naturally carved out.
"Heh... Tsk."
A low growl accompanied by painful groans came from one of the stone chambers, followed by a dragon several meters long suddenly leaping out of the cave.
Blood flowed from the crimson dragon's body, and its ferocious face showed anger, clearly indicating its fury at Li Chang'an for tricking and injuring it.
The enormous dragon floated in the air, its aura menacing, and both of them unconsciously took several steps back.
“You cunning and despicable humans…I will kill you!”
Feeling the immense pressure from the dragon, Li Miaozhen knew her methods would be ineffective, and she couldn't cause Li Chang'an any more trouble.
Li Miaozhen decisively retreated and hid behind a boulder, while Li Chang'an had already risen into the air, surrounded by thirty-six green flying swords.
These flying swords possessed immense magical power, and they even subtly suppressed the dragon's aura.
"So Brother Li possesses such wondrous sword techniques of the Human Sect! No wonder he was able to easily injure the Crimson Flood Dragon. Such techniques, capable of harming enemies of a higher level, must be extremely precious. They must have been personally passed down by the leader of the Human Sect!"
Li Chang'an had boasted to her that he knew the head of the Human Sect and possessed magical techniques personally taught by the head of the sect.
Previously, Li Miaozhen was still somewhat skeptical, but now she completely believes it.
Even more surprised than Li Miaozhen was Chi Jiao. It turned out that the move that Li Chang'an used to injure him was not Li Chang'an's full strength.
The sword formation of these thirty-six flying swords firing simultaneously is Li Chang'an's true trump card!
A Taoist cultivator who can master this sword formation is definitely not an ordinary person; he might even be a disciple of the sect leader.
"Wait! We can reconcile..."
However, no sooner had it uttered those words than thirty-six flying swords, gleaming with dazzling spiritual light, hurtled toward its massive body.
The red dragon's tail shook violently, instantly collapsing a stone chamber in the cave. It intended to use its most powerful supernatural ability to escape this calamity.
"Puff puff……"
However, the flying sword arrived too fast, and the red dragon's body was too large; in the blink of an eye, its scales had been cut open in several places.
"Roar!"
The red dragon fled frantically, writhing in excruciating pain, its blood splattering everywhere, as it let out a heart-wrenching roar.
However, the murderous flying sword was not only extremely powerful, but also incredibly fast, closely chasing the Crimson Dragon.
Finally, one of the red dragon's claws was cut off, then half of its head, and then its entire body was cut in half.
With a deafening roar, the seven- or eight-zhang-long red dragon was cleaved into several pieces, falling miserably onto the ground of the cave.
Li Miaozhen stared in disbelief at everything. All her hesitation and worries before coming here were unnecessary. Li Chang'an was fully capable of killing this fourth-grade dragon in one move.
The Golden Eagle Hero is truly powerful, far stronger than I am.
She nervously ran out from behind the boulder, staring curiously at the enormous red dragon before her. She had never killed a fourth-rank demon before.
"Brother Li, you certainly have some impressive skills... It's said that every part of a dragon is a treasure; I'd like to take a good look at it."
As Li Miaozhen spoke, she began to examine the dragon. "Brother Li, why is the dragon's tail broken off?"
During the battle, Li Chang'an hadn't paid much attention, but now it seems the dragon's tail has been broken off for a long time.
"Is it possible that he was killed by those two humans who were chasing him before?"
Li Miaozhen looked at the already severed wound and slowly nodded, saying, "That's how it should be."
Then, Li Miaozhen picked up a pink spherical object from the ground and said, "This must be the demon core of a level four demon race!"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Li Chang'an was staring at her intently, as if expecting something.
Li Miaozhen examined the rare golden core for a while longer, and then she noticed that Li Chang'an was still looking at her, and there was an unnatural burning in his eyes.
The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect blushed slightly. Although the two were already quite familiar with each other, staring at someone like that was still rather embarrassing.
"Brother Li..."
Then, she saw a flash of disappointment in Li Chang'an's eyes.
Li Chang'an circled around the dragon's corpse but found nothing he expected.
Is it possible that only the black dragon has a scrotum, while the red dragon does not?
"Hiss... Stories are all lies."
Li Miaozhen asked curiously, "Brother Li, who do you think lied to you?"
Chapter 266 Farewell to Li Miaozhen, Su Su's Request
“A story from my hometown tells of a cultivator who killed a black dragon and obtained a demon soul that could greatly enhance one’s cultivation. Now it seems to be a lie.”
Li Chang'an made a casual remark, and Li Miaozhen didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she continued to look at the various stone chambers.
"Brother Li, that's a gun!"
Following Li Miaozhen's gaze, Li Chang'an saw a long spear radiating a crimson spiritual light in a stone chamber.
