Chapter 509: Super Skill, Dragon Slayer

A gentle breeze gradually dissipated the flames on the battlefield.Li An stood atop the shattered ruins, his chest heaving violently.The flames covering his lower body were no longer as intense as before, and the remains of flesh and blood were faintly visible in the flames.His upper body, like a wall of steel, was now covered in a dense, crisscross pattern of sword wounds.Blood flowed from the wounds, dripping onto the ground.The faint glow of the flames covered the wounds, but it no longer had the same terrifying healing speed as before.Everyone could see that he was at the end of his rope.Many people were considering taking advantage of his weakness and killing him.After all, the final prize was so generous.But for a moment, no one dared to step forward.Because Li An's eyes were sharper than ever before. He looked like a king who had just slain a traitor with his own hands, the throne of supremacy behind him.He stood before the throne, scornful of the advancing army, his slightly clenched fists uttering, "Come on, if you dare!"No one dared to step forward.But the fear in their hearts wasn't just from Li An's gaze.A glance never kills, and it's never a resounding title that truly commands awe, but the battle record that brings it all!The final bout between Li An and Bai Jianxin had been as powerful as a landslide or a tsunami.That force, no less than a natural disaster, was what terrified all the challengers.As long as he remained standing, the vast majority of geniuses gathered from all corners of the world would be mere stars, a foil to the bright moon.After a long silence, a few voices finally rang out."Who's up?""Who's next?""Now's the perfect time to defeat Li An. If you miss it, it's gone..."Everyone looked at each other, but in the end, no one moved forward. At this moment, Li An's gaze swept across three different locations.Zhen, sitting by the teahouse window.Tong Zheng, standing quietly in the crowd.And the Light Ruler, hidden in the shadows.At this moment, the three of them were filled with fighting spirit.But they didn't take the stage. The reason was simple: defeating the seriously injured Li An wouldn't prove anything.They were waiting for Li An to recover!But one person seemed unwilling to wait.He was an old dog, without the demeanor of a powerful warrior, and he didn't care about fairness or fame.Because he was a hunter, not a warrior!Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the White Ghost Emperor, with his naturally white pupils, wielded his Purple Palace Dragon Soul Blade and stepped onto the shattered ruins.At this moment, Ji Lie all looked up, their brows furrowed.The White Ghost Emperor was never weak; he was just timid.Everyone began to worry about Li An.Li An's eyes darkened slightly. The wind, which had just dissipated, roared once more, whistling over the shattered ruins.The White Ghost Emperor didn't even utter a single word!His eyes fixed, and he gripped the dagger tightly.Purple lightning flashed and crackled on the dagger.The space around Li An suddenly rippled.The next second, everyone's pupils suddenly constricted!The White Ghost Emperor vanished instantly, teleporting above Li An's head and thrusting his blade!Li An remained calm, activated Wind Rise, automatically dodging, and retreating.The White Ghost Emperor's attack missed in the first round.But some eagle-eyed spectators frowned.A few strands of the golden-red flames burning on Li An suddenly landed on the White Ghost Emperor's blade.The purple dagger flickered with a flicker of fire.No damage.The White Ghost Emperor continued to skillfully manipulate the blade. That meant the streak of war fire that landed on his dagger wasn't an active attack by Li An, but rather a passive one.The war fire was passively snatched away by the White Ghost Emperor's dagger."Interesting," Li An said expressionlessly.The White Ghost Emperor shook his head and said, "Soon you won't find it interesting anymore."With that, his figure suddenly vanished.Several shadows of the White Ghost Emperor appeared around Li An.He dodged between them, avoiding being struck, but the war fire continued to be snatched away by the White Ghost Emperor's dagger.The amount was small, insignificant to Li An, a mere drop in the bucket.But he wondered: could the White Ghost Emperor truly control his war fire?As he snatched away more and more war fire, the dagger's purple lightning reacted with it, creating an elemental reaction that threatened to cause an explosion.But the dagger didn't explode.Another unexpected event occurred for Li An. The White Ghost Emperor's dagger slowly lengthened, resembling a short sword.On either side of the blade, thunder and fire blazed, each side remaining in contact.Li An saw it.The White Ghost Emperor was unleashing a fusion technique he couldn't understand.This skill, possessing immense destructive power, is also known as a super-release technique.A super-release technique is a hidden gem in every cultivator's arsenal.But such skills can't be unleashed at will. For example, Li An's resonance field is also considered a super-release technique.For example, Bai Jianxin's sword split into a thousand.Li An's vibration field requires a prior fire.Bai Jianxin's sword split into a thousand also requires accumulated combat time to maximize its power.Often, once an opponent becomes familiar with your super-release technique, they'll try to prevent you from completing it, perhaps by extinguishing Li An's fire beforehand.That's why these skills are called super-release techniques.It's generally difficult to unleash them against someone who understands you, hence the word "release."Liberation, liberation. Complete the previous steps, unleash the full power of this skill, and free the opponent!What the White Ghost Emperor was doing now was undoubtedly fulfilling the conditions for unlocking his super-release skill.He shuttled through space, rapidly wielding Li An's flames.He would rub off once he reached a level, leaving Li An no chance to fight back.Because of his innate mastery of space, he utilized the laws of space, using minimal energy consumption, allowing him to flash with impunity.Flash after flash, wielding the flames again and again.The White Ghost Emperor's dagger grew longer and longer, transforming into a long blade, splitting the flames in half with the raging fire and thunder.But this didn't seem enough.Under the watchful eyes of the crowd,The White Ghost Emperor, like a monkey, cautiously wielded the flames from Li An.Li An, with little strength left, was too lazy to fight back.Let him rub it.He used this time to slowly recover his strength.At this moment, the demons in the audience saw through the White Ghost Emperor's skills. His brows furrowed as he spoke, "The Dragon Hunter Demon Clan's exclusive super-resolution technique.""Dragon Slaying!""Plunder the power of the opponent's dragon clan, strengthening your own Dragon Hunting Dagger.""Eventually, the dagger will transform into an extremely long sword.""Half of the blade is the Dragon Hunter Demon's own power, and half is the power of the opponent's dragon clan.""The most terrifying aspect of Dragon Slaying is that the user coats the blade with their opponent's power.""That power still belongs to the opponent; it originates from the same source.""This means that when Dragon Slaying Slash strikes, the opponent cannot defend against it with the same power.""The sword he swings is wrapped in your power, completely resistant to your attack, like a drop of water falling into a basin.""The water in the basin will not repel that drop.""The sword will pierce the dragon's bones.""Then, the protective film surrounding the drop of water disappears, and the hunter's own power erupts, delivering a fatal blow to the prey.""But this is only the simplest use of Dragon Slaying Slash.""The White Ghost Emperor's strike won't be that simple."
