664. The Dragon’s Fury / 665. Battle with the Giant Wild Boar

His lips curved into a smile. It seemed these men in black had no intention of fighting him to the death.

0…0

However, at that moment, the men in black suddenly turned around and launched a fierce attack on Izayoi.

He had not expected them to turn on him so suddenly. Caught off guard, he was severely wounded, blood continuously flowing from his body into the ground.

At that critical moment between life and death, the gem on his sword suddenly emitted a dazzling light. In an instant, he felt all the injuries in his body vanish.

Moreover, his strength had received an immense boost. His figure disappeared in an instant, as though he had never been there.

Seeing Izayoi suddenly vanish, the men in black were shocked and had no idea where he had gone.

At that moment, Izayoi appeared before them and slaughtered them all at incredible speed. Blade.

The Dragon’s Fury

After killing the men in black, Izayoi took out his map and headed toward the next stronghold. He had to destroy the next enemy stronghold as quickly as possible. When Izayoi arrived at the stronghold, he discovered that a giant dragon was guarding it. He was greatly shocked; he had not expected the enemy to go to such lengths as to find a dragon to guard the place.

At that moment, the dragon noticed Izayoi and attacked him. Its huge jaws opened wide, spewing blazing flames from its mouth.

Izayoi quickly raised the sword in his hand and released wave after wave of sword qi, blocking the fireballs it spat out.

What powerful fireballs! Izayoi thought in surprise. The fireballs were several times stronger than the sword qi he had unleashed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of explosions rang out as the fireballs struck the mound of earth at the entrance to the stronghold, blasting a crater into it.

Izayoi frowned. It seemed the enemy had truly gone all out! With that thought, he used the sword in his hand to summon a shower of ice.

The icy rain fell upon the fireballs, extinguishing some of them. However, because the ice rain was too weak, it failed to put them all out completely.

Izayoi quickly summoned another mass of ice and smashed it into the fireball, freezing it completely.

It seemed they were determined to get rid of him this time! Izayoi sneered, killing intent rising in his heart.

He knew that he had to kill this dragon, or he would have no way to leave.

With that thought, Izayoi’s speed suddenly soared. He swung his sword at the giant dragon, but at that moment, the dragon swept its tail toward him with savage force.

Izayoi failed to dodge in time and was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Pfft! Izayoi spat out blood. This dragon’s strength was truly extraordinary!

Awooo! The dragon roared and pounced at him. Izayoi failed to react in time and the dragon bit down on his arm.

Feeling the intense pain in his arm, Izayoi flew into a rage. He raised the longsword in his hand and slashed down hard.

Crack! The longsword snapped apart.

What? It had broken? Izayoi was utterly horrified. His sword was a treasure, yet it had been torn apart by the claws and fangs of this dragon?

Seeing the dragon’s attacks grow fiercer and fiercer, Izayoi could not spare any more thought for anything else. He took out a pill and swallowed it, then gathered the battle qi within his body…

The strength in his arms instantly increased by several hundred kilograms. He thrust his sword straight into the dragon’s body, yet failed to harm it in the slightest.

It only left behind a white mark. At that moment, the dragon swept its tail at Izayoi, sending him flying again.

Izayoi’s body spun half a turn through the air before coming to a stop and landing on the ground.

Izayoi clutched his chest and coughed twice.

This giant dragon’s strength was simply too great. That blow just now could probably flatten even a small mountain!

The dragon seemed not to have expected Izayoi to withstand its attack, and it pounced at him once more.

Izayoi had already suffered severe injuries. Gathering all his strength into the sword in his hand, he unleashed a shockwave that injured the giant dragon.

The Battle with the Giant Wild Boar

Seeing that this human actually dared to injure it, the giant dragon flew into a furious rage. It glared at Izayoi and snarled, "Damn human, you’re dead."

With that, it charged toward Izayoi at incredible speed. Seeing this, Izayoi hurriedly summoned a massive Ice Prison, hoping it could trap the dragon.

Although the dragon was trapped inside the Ice Prison, it was not affected in the slightest. Instead, a ray of light burst from its body and shattered the Ice Prison.

It then swept its huge tail viciously across Izayoi, sending him flying into the wall. He crashed heavily against it, spat out several mouthfuls of blood, and turned pale.

"Damn it, just what level are you?" Izayoi stood up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as he asked in fear. That terrifying strike from the dragon had sent him flying several meters away.

If his body had not been so tough, he would probably have died already. This dragon is far too powerful, isn’t it?

"Damn human, now you know how powerful I am, don’t you?" the dragon sneered.

Izayoi nodded. "I know. You’re powerful, but I’m still not convinced."

Hearing Izayoi’s words, the giant dragon became furious. It roared angrily, "You still dare refuse to submit? I think you’re tired of living. Die!"

With that, it opened its huge jaws and bit toward Izayoi. Izayoi hurriedly dodged.

Bang! A tremendous sound rang out. The spot where he had just been standing instantly caved in, and he inwardly sighed at the terrifying power of the attack.

Seeing this, the giant dragon grew even angrier. It opened its huge mouth again and pounced at Izayoi.

Izayoi was struck directly by the dragon and sent flying heavily through the air, spraying a stream of bright-red blood. This time, he was knocked nearly a hundred meters away and crashed into a wall, his chest caving in.

Cough, cough. Izayoi clutched his chest and coughed a few times as he fell from the air to the ground.

He felt unbearable pain all over his body, and he could barely keep his eyes open. He quickly circulated his cultivation technique, restoring his body to normal.

He took a bottle of pills from his clothes and swallowed them, then circulated the true qi within his body to rapidly repair his injuries.

After a while, he felt slightly better, though his face remained pale.

Damn it, what kind of strength does this cursed giant dragon have? Why is it so powerful? he thought. The dragon’s strike just now had been far too terrifying. He had not even had time to defend himself before he was defeated in a single move.

No, I absolutely can’t sit here and wait for death. I have to find a way to escape. With that thought, he stood up.

Just as he rose and prepared to run outside, he suddenly felt a gust of wind. The giant dragon had appeared before Izayoi.

He was greatly shocked. Am I truly doomed to die here today? At that moment, he remembered that he still had a pill that could boost his strength.

With that thought, he quickly took out the pill and swallowed it. Instantly, he felt the power within his body grow even stronger. He looked at the giant dragon.

He snorted coldly, and his figure vanished in an instant. When he appeared again, he was already behind the giant dragon. With one strike, he severed the dragon’s tail, then continued slashing at its body.

Before long, he had completely slain the giant dragon.

The Black Light of the Men in Black

After Izayoi finally defeated the giant dragon, he entered the stronghold. This stronghold was somewhat different from the previous one; it was much larger. At that moment, the men in black within the stronghold noticed Izayoi’s presence and quickly released a group of giant wild boars to attack him.

The moment Izayoi entered the stronghold, he saw a herd of giant wild boars charging at him menacingly. What shocked him even more was that every one of these boars radiated a powerful aura.

These boars clearly were not ordinary wild boars. They were super wild boars that had undergone special enhancement. Izayoi frowned, knowing they would not be easy opponents.

With that thought, he quickly drew his sword and summoned a massive fire dragon. He poured a great deal of power into this attack, hoping to slaughter the boars.

However, when the fire dragon reached the boars, it was actually bounced away by them. Izayoi was greatly shocked. He had not expected these boars to be so powerful that they could directly repel his fire dragon.

At that moment, the boars finally reached Izayoi. Their mouths opened wide, exposing sharp teeth, and their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light, as though they could devour their prey with a single bite.

These boars were this monstrous too? Could they be mutated animals? Seeing the savage expressions on the boars before him, Izayoi’s heart tightened.

Yet he did not retreat. He swung the sword in his hand toward the boars, every strike carrying incomparably fierce power. Each move could tear through space and kill the boars.

His strength was extremely formidable, yet before these boars, it was utterly insufficient. This time, he was forced into a corner. His face darkened as he looked at the frenzied boars, anger rising in his heart.

He had never thought of himself as a coward, but this was truly a situation he did not want to face. He felt that his life was about to fade away. If this continued, he would probably die here.

Thinking that he might die here, he found it hard to accept, and the anger in his heart grew even stronger.

The longsword in his hand danced more fiercely as he tried to kill all the boars, but he had still underestimated their strength. He simply could not kill them.

Izayoi leaped into the air at high speed, trying to jump away from the boars, but one of them blocked him. This boar looked like a wolf and had a massive body, but its eyes were crimson red.

Its mouth exposed pale fangs that glinted coldly beneath the moonlight. Its claws were even sharper, like blades, as they slashed viciously toward Izayoi.

Izayoi quickly used the longsword in his hand to block its claws, borrowing the recoil to fly away. However, the boar’s claws actually pierced through the sword and raked directly across his shoulder.

Aah! Izayoi could not help crying out. That claw strike tore through his clothes and left a bloody claw mark on his shoulder.

The pain was unbearable, and Izayoi bent over, clutching his shoulder as blood instantly poured out.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" Seeing that it had injured Izayoi, the boar immediately burst into laughter.

The stabbing pain from its claws infuriated him, but he did not give up because of his injury. At that moment, golden light suddenly appeared around his body, and he felt his strength rise sharply.

He charged toward the boar at high speed and killed it in a single slash. Then his figure vanished in an instant. By the time he appeared again, he had slaughtered every boar.

Let You Taste My Power

Izayoi looked at the men in black and sneered. "You lot only know how to play petty tricks from behind the scenes. Watch me wipe you out."

With that, he drew his sword. His figure flashed as he charged toward the men in black, while several of them immediately reacted and attacked him.

Izayoi snorted softly and swung his longsword to meet them. His swordsmanship was swift, but his speed was still slightly too slow, so the men in black quickly closed in on him.

Izayoi gave a low shout, and the longsword in his hand suddenly accelerated as it stabbed forward.

Splat! With a crisp sound, the longsword instantly sliced through the necks of the men in black, and blood gushed wildly out.

Seeing this, one of the men in black quickly pulled a dagger from his clothes and threw it at him. Izayoi saw the flying dagger.

He twisted aside, dodging the dagger, then used Sweeping Thousand Armies to knock those men in black to the ground.

After they fell, the other men in black drew the short blades at their waists and charged together to kill Izayoi. Izayoi’s expression changed, and the longsword in his hand began to dance once more.

For a time, explosive sounds continuously rang out through the air around Izayoi, while the longsword in his hand repeatedly unleashed bursts of light.

Bang! A succession of muffled impacts sounded as the short blades of the men in black were knocked to the ground one after another by Izayoi.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the men in black tried to flee. However, Izayoi had no intention of letting them go. He raised his sword and summoned a massive fire dragon, sending it pouncing toward them.

The fire dragon roared as it raced toward the men in black.

Seeing this, the men in black hurriedly used all their strength to rush forward. However, the fire dragon did not stop. It continued pouncing toward them and swallowed all the men in black.

With a thunderous boom, flames instantly swallowed the figures of the men in black. Izayoi looked at the burning men and sneered, then waved his hand and drew the flames back into his body.

However, just as Izayoi drew the flames into his body, a black ray of light flew toward him. It was incredibly fast, carrying fierce gusts and a shrill whistling sound.

Izayoi’s expression changed. He hurriedly retreated, but it was already too late. The black light slammed viciously into his body.

It sent him flying, crashing heavily to the ground before smashing deeply into the nearby ruins.

Cough, cough… Overwhelming pain struck him, and Izayoi could not help spitting out two mouthfuls of blood.

He struggled to get up, only to discover that his entire body was limp and powerless. He could not muster even a trace of strength.

What is going on? Why has my strength weakened? Did I use up too much power fighting others? Izayoi wondered.

At that moment, he saw a group of even more powerful men in black approaching from afar. He immediately understood that the black light had been sent by them.

The men in black were simply too fast. In the blink of an eye, they had reached Izayoi.

They unleashed a storm of attacks upon him. Their attacks were far too sharp, and Izayoi was quickly beaten into a severely wounded state.

Izayoi was greatly shocked. He had not expected himself to be beaten so badly. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the men in black.

He truly could not understand why these men in black were so strong.

It Was Actually a Castle

Just as Izayoi was about to be killed by the men in black, golden light suddenly appeared around his body. This shocked him greatly; he had not expected his body to possess the energy of such a divine body. He felt the power throughout his entire body become even stronger. With that thought, he looked at the men in black and sneered. "You bastards dared to ambush me. Let me show you what I’m capable of."

Hearing Izayoi’s words, the men in black burst into laughter. They mocked, "Kid, you’re already surrounded by us. You have no choice now but to surrender."

"Oh?" Izayoi sneered after hearing them. "You underestimate me too much. Have you forgotten who I am?"

Hearing Izayoi’s words, puzzled expressions appeared on their faces. They had no idea who Izayoi was.

Just as they were bewildered, a powerful aura burst from Izayoi’s body. It surged upward like an erupting volcano, shooting into the heavens and engulfing them all.

"Ah! What’s happening? What’s happening? How did this kid become so powerful?" They were shaken by this force and hurriedly tried to dodge, but they were too slow and were thrown to the ground by the immense aura.

They coughed up blood in succession. They had not expected the cultivation of the person before them to be so high. Even with their formidable strength, they could not withstand that strike just now.

If it had been anyone else, they would have died long ago. Yet Izayoi had not. His cultivation was actually more than a level higher than before.
