Without the slightest hesitation, it opened its dragon maw wide!

A crimson Dragon Breath, like molten iron, swept toward Yasuo below!

The terrifying high temperature even caused the air along the way to twist violently!

However, faced with this terrifying attack capable of instantly melting a hillock,

Yasuo's figure merely flickered slightly before turning into a dazzling bolt of golden lightning, disappearing out of thin air from his original spot.

Boom—!!!

The crimson Dragon Breath violently struck the spot where Yasuo had just been standing.

The earth shuddered violently!

The destructive flame shockwave plowed yet another bottomless, terrifying ravine through the urban area that had long since been reduced to ruins!

The blazing fire soaring into the sky illuminated almost half of Donghai City!

And the next second, Yasuo's figure had already appeared high in the sky several hundred meters up.

Less than a hundred meters away from that behemoth.

The Purgatory Flame Dragon's pair of giant dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and for the first time, a trace of surprise appeared in its pupils.

What incredible speed!

Yet before it could make any reaction,

the next second, that tiny figure far away from a hundred meters abruptly transformed into a dazzling flash of thunder, tearing through space and appearing out of thin air right before its eyes!

Hum—!!!

The tachi in Yasuo's hand emitted an excited hum filled with thirst!

Across the sword body, countless fine golden electric arcs danced wildly, emitting "crackling" popping sounds!

That brilliant thunder light, like a living creature, quickly wrapped around the entire tachi, forcibly stretching and enlarging it to transform it into a massive golden thunder greatsword over a dozen meters long!

Before the sword even arrived, that peerlessly sharp Sword Intent, which seemed capable of tearing the firmament apart, already caused the Purgatory Flame Dragon's indestructible dragon scales to feel a wave of needle-like pricking pain!

There was no expression whatsoever on Yasuo's face.

He merely slowly raised the thunder greatsword in his hand, and brought it down directly upon that ferocious dragon head close at hand!

The sword slashed out.

The thunder fell.

Nothing in a myriad of mountains could block it!

The explosive golden thunder illuminated this pitch-black curtain of night as if it were daytime!

Faced with this heaven-shaking strike capable of cleaving mountains, in the Purgatory Flame Dragon's burning dragon eyes below, a hint of humanized disdain actually surfaced.

It did not dodge.

It didn't even make the most basic defensive move.

Just at the moment when that thunder greatsword was about to touch the dragon scales on the top of its head,

"Whoosh—!"

dazzling crimson flames suddenly ignited all over its massive body!

The hard dragon scales, the ferocious bone spurs, and even the massive dragon body quickly melted and distorted in these scorching flames.

In just the span of a breath, that overbearing behemoth had actually turned into a fiercely burning huge fireball with a diameter exceeding fifty meters!

The terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding air to twist violently, as if even space was about to be burned through by it!

The next second.

The golden thunder greatsword fiercely slashed down onto that huge crimson fireball!

There was no earth-shattering loud noise as imagined.

Nor was there any violent impact of energy collision.

That greatsword formed by the convergence of countless bolts of thunder met no obstruction whatsoever, cutting through the huge fireball silently like a red-hot knife through butter, splitting it in two!

The cut was flat and smooth as a mirror.

The fireball, split in two, plummeted toward the urban area below that had long since been turned into ruins with a boom!

"Rumble—!!!"

Two deafening loud noises rang out almost simultaneously!

The destructive flame shockwave spread wildly in all directions like a tsunami!

The earth wailed, and space trembled!

Two terrifying giant craters with diameters exceeding a hundred meters abruptly formed!

...

In the distance, behind the temporarily constructed defense line.

All the Classer and military soldiers who saw this scene burst into thunderous cheers after a brief silence!

"Holy shit! So cool! So fucking cool!"

A young soldier's face turned flushed with excitement, waving the long spear in his hand and roaring at the top of his lungs.

"One sword! With just a single sword, he cleaved that Hell-level BOSS in two!"

"This fucking is what a true powerhouse is!"

"Evernight Guild is awesome! Vice Guild Leader Yasuo is awesome!"

Everyone's face beamed with the wild joy of surviving a catastrophe.

In their view, the battle was already over.

However.

High in the sky, Zhou Huai, controlling Da Yi, silently watched the two fiercely burning blazes below, his brow furrowing slightly without leaving a trace.

Something is wrong.

That sword strike just now, although grand in momentum and seemingly infinitely powerful,

Zhou Huai could clearly feel that there was no sensation of hitting a solid entity coming from the sword blade at all.

That feeling was like slashing into a ball of cotton—it had all appearance but lacked any substance.

"Elementalization of the body?"

A thought flashed through Zhou Huai's mind.

Just at the moment when the golden greatsword was about to contact the Purgatory Flame Dragon, that beast most likely turned its entire body into fire elements, thereby immunizing itself against the vast majority of physical attacks.

If that was the case, things would become troublesome.

Possessing this kind of nearly shameless life-saving skill, Yasuo's proud physical attacks would find it hard to inflict effective damage on it.

And just as Zhou Huai had expected.

After a brief silence, the two huge fireballs split in two below began to wriggle again as if they possessed life.

They turned into two torrents of crimson flames, rapidly converging and undergoing Fusion.

In just a few breaths, the Purgatory Flame Dragon, which should have been split in two, appeared once again intact within everyone's field of vision.

Upon its massive body, not even a trace of a wound could be seen.

"Roar—!!!"

The Purgatory Flame Dragon raised its head to the sky and let out a dragon roar filled with contempt and mockery.

That voice seemed to ring directly in everyone's mind.

"Ant, is this your full strength?"

"You aren't even worthy of scratching this King's itch!"

The defense line below, which had just been immersed in wild joy, instantly plunged into dead silence.

A trace of incredible panic surfaced on everyone's face.

"How... how could this be?"

"Not dead? It didn't suffer a single injury at all?"

"It's over... how is this still supposed to be fought?"

An aura called despair once again shrouded everyone's heart.

However.

Before the Purgatory Flame Dragon could feel smug for even a few seconds,

Click.

an extremely faint soft sound, like porcelain shattering, came without warning from atop its huge head.

The expression on the Purgatory Flame Dragon's face abruptly stiffened.

Within its pair of dragon eyes burning with raging flames, a hint of astonishment and incomprehension emerged.

Immediately following that, amidst everyone's horrified gazes,

a ferocious dragon horn over a dozen meters long, resembling a red-hot branding iron atop its giant dragon head, abruptly snapped clean off from the base!

Then, silently, it plummeted toward the ruins below.

Boom!

The broken dragon horn smashed into the ground, instantly igniting raging crimson flames that burned the surrounding ruins into a sheet of glazed glass once more.

At the same time.

A bright red, shocking damage number slowly floated up from above the Purgatory Flame Dragon's head.

-239109!

High in the sky, seeing this number, a gleam of pleasant surprise lit up in Zhou Huai's eyes.

It seemed that

Yasuo's attack was not completely ineffective!

Although the Purgatory Flame Dragon immunized itself against the vast majority of physical damage through bodily elementalization,

it could not immunize itself against the invisible Sword Intent and sword momentum contained within the sword moves!

That was a power of a higher tier transcending physical attacks!

And it was also Yasuo's greatest harvest within the Second Transition trial dungeon!
