Chapter 145 The True Dragon Rampages and Slays the Demon General!
Golden light rose like the sun across the Amazon plains, turning Lu Jingchen's hair pure gold. Dragon scales spread from his neck to his cheeks, and his five pairs of dragon wings fully unfurled, blotting out the sky. The starlight dissipated from the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain and the leader of the Maoshan Sect merged into his body, causing his True Dragon Power to surge more than threefold in an instant.
"Baal! I will make you pay with your life!"
Lu Jingchen's voice carried the roar of a dragon, shaking the entire earth. He flashed and instantly appeared in front of Demon Commander Baal, his fist crackling with golden flames capable of scorching the heavens and destroying the earth, slamming it fiercely into Baal's chest.
"You're asking for death!" Baal roared, raising his demonic sword to defend himself.
"clang!"
A piercing metallic clang rang out as Lu Jingchen smashed a massive dent into Baal's demonic sword, forged from abyssal black iron. Baal was forced back more than ten steps, the ground beneath his feet cracking open with enormous fissures.
"Impossible! How could your strength suddenly increase so much?!" Baal's face showed disbelief. Just now he was able to repel Lu Jingchen with a single sword strike, but now he was being suppressed by the other party with a single punch.
"Because you killed someone you shouldn't have." Lu Jingchen's eyes were icy as he charged forward again.
The two instantly clashed. Golden dragon energy and black demonic energy collided fiercely, producing a hissing and crackling sound. Each collision generated a massive shockwave, blasting the surrounding demonic soldiers into dust. Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, black lightning intertwining with golden dragon breath, illuminating the entire dark sky.
Baal wielded his demonic sword with impenetrable force, each strike carrying devastating power. But Lu Jingchen was faster; he moved like golden lightning, weaving through Baal's attacks and relentlessly pounding Baal's armor with his fists.
"Snap! Snap!"
Cracks began to appear on Baal's black armor, from which black demonic blood flowed. He was both shocked and furious, and with a roar, he poured all the demonic energy in his body into the demonic sword.
"Demonic Flames Burn the Heavens!"
Black flames erupted from the demonic sword, forming a massive sea of fire that swept towards Lu Jingchen. These flames could incinerate everything, even distorting and warping space itself.
"The True Dragon protects you!"
Lu Jingchen shouted, and a golden light shield instantly unfolded, blocking the black flames. However, the temperature of the flames was too high, and the surface of the light shield kept bubbling, on the verge of being burned through.
"Lu Jingchen! Use this!"
Su Muyue's voice suddenly rang out. She formed hand seals and activated the Hundred Herbs Array she had set up beforehand. Countless green vines sprouted from the ground, forming a huge green barrier in front of the light shield. Black flames burned on the vines, making a sizzling sound, but the vines burned even more vigorously, absorbing the power of the flames and growing even thicker.
"Hundred Herbs Bind the Demon!"
Su Muyue formed another hand seal, and countless vines, like serpents, coiled towards Baal. Baal hurriedly swung his demonic sword to cut the vines, but more vines kept emerging from the ground and soon wrapped around his legs.
"Now!"
Lu Jingchen seized the opportunity, leaping into the air and landing on top of Baal's head. He concentrated all his True Dragon Power into his right fist, the golden light emanating from it so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
"True Dragon Demon-Slaying Fist!"
This punch contained all of Lu Jingchen's power, as well as all his anger towards the victims. The fist fell like a meteor, slamming hard into the crack in Baal's chest armor.
"No--!"
Baal let out a desperate scream.
His armor shattered instantly, and the fist slammed solidly into his magic core.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, Baal's body exploded instantly, turning into countless black fragments. Baal, the Demon General and the most powerful general under the Lord of the Abyss, was utterly slain.
"The Demon Commander is dead! We've won!"
A deafening cheer erupted from the Allied positions. Everyone was moved to tears and embraced one another.
But just then, a cold sigh suddenly came from the depths of the passage.
The sigh seemed to come from the deepest hell, making everyone feel cold all over, as if their blood was about to freeze.
Black demonic energy surged wildly, coalescing into a gigantic black figure in mid-air. This figure was a thousand meters tall, its face obscured, only a pair of eyes burning with black flames could be seen, coldly staring at the people on the ground.
"Lord of the Abyss!" Lu Jingchen's expression changed drastically, and he gripped the Dragon's Lair Jade Pendant tightly.
"That's right, it's me." The enormous figure spoke, its voice like rolling thunder. "Baal may be trash, but you did have some skill to kill him. However, this is just the beginning."
His gaze swept across the battlefield, a hint of disdain in his eyes: "You think you've won by holding the Amazon? How naive. I've already sent my seven demon generals to attack the other seven dragon lairs around the world simultaneously. By now, they should have broken through the defenses."
"What?!" Lu Jingchen was startled.
"Three days from now, I will personally descend upon this world. At that time, I will turn you all into my slaves and transform this world into a second Abyss." The Abyss Lord's voice was filled with cruel laughter. "Lu Jingchen, I look forward to fighting you. I hope you will not disappoint me."
After saying that, the black figure gradually disappeared into the air.
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
The joy I felt just moments ago vanished, replaced by endless despair.
The Lord of the Abyss has launched an attack on all the dragon lairs simultaneously! And he's even going to descend upon them personally!
That's something even the ancient dragon and the Yellow Emperor could only seal away! Can they really win?
Lu Jingchen stared intently at the direction where the Lord of the Abyss had vanished, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
No matter how strong you are, I will not let you succeed.
"I will protect this world and the people around me."
