X-Dragon Era

Chapter 215 Chapters 172-173 Fire in the Water

After successfully breaking through, Xin Yun and the two girls finally began their battle today. When Xin Yun summoned Yinglong, the two girls were simply dumbstruck. Was this still the same dragon as before? Enjoy new stories from empire

Looking over, this dragon had already begun to take on a humanoid form, with long arms and sturdy legs, its claws sharp beyond comparison, and blade spikes standing erect at the joints. If one ignored the overly long neck and the long tail, this was basically a humanoid form.

"Hehe..." Watching the surprised looks on the girls' faces, Xin Yun smiled proudly. As Yinglong's body flashed with blue light, its limbs instantly retracted, reverting to its original form. Then, as the blue light flashed again, it transformed back into the humanoid form. If it wasn't witnessed with one's own eyes, one would never believe it was the same dragon.

After Xin Yun's modifications, with limbs condensed, Yinglong's form had become more akin to Western dragons, similar to a humanoid form. And once it retracted its limbs, it instantly reverted back to its original form.

Limb imitation was advantageous for close combat, but disadvantageous for flying and dodging. However... if it could switch between the two, everything would become perfect. During close combat, it would form limbs, and when creating distance, it would return to Yinglong's original shape.

Looking at the strange Yinglong, Yan Qingying curiously evolved eight True Illusions and, along with her own body, rushed towards Xin Yun. She didn't employ any illusions, wanting to test her close combat skills against him.

As Phantom Spiders surrounded him from all directions, Xin Yun's eyes narrowed. With another flash of blue light from Yinglong's body, it regained its Dragon Body form and, with a fierce twist, coiled its body into a ring. With a sudden swing, it swept around in all directions.

Seeing Yinglong's sweeping tail, Yan Qingying couldn't help but gasp in shock. In an instant... The entire Yinglong seemed to have become a whip-shaped dragon, the outer edge of the whip covered in blade spikes. If hit by it, the consequences were simply unimaginable.

Unable to control the True Illusions, Yan Qingying instantly scattered thousands of illusions and then activated the Illusion-Reality Transformation, narrowly escaping. However, her True Illusions weren't so lucky.

Wherever Yinglong's body swept, the eight True Illusions instantly burst one after the other. After bursting eight True Illusions in succession, the force of the sweep didn't stop and slammed hard against a stalagmite.

"Crack crack..." Amidst the crisp sounds, the blade spikes on Yinglong's spine violently cut into the stalagmite, sparks flying in all directions. In a single strike, the stalagmite, tougher than refined steel, was actually whipped into a deep indentation!

However, although Xin Yun seemed very powerful, Yan Qingying wasn't intimidated. She had her own tactics. With a flicker of her body, thousands of Phantom Spider illusions swarmed towards Xin Yun.

Seeing Yan Qingying finally demonstrating her full capabilities, Xin Yun knew that if he continued to maintain the form of Yinglong, he could only dodge; once surrounded, there would be no way out. Yan Qingying's attacks would come from all directions, every angle, every inch of space, impossible to block no matter how he resisted.

Of course, that was in the past. As for now, although Xin Yun still wasn't confident, he really wanted to give it a try. As he pondered... Yinglong's body erupted with blue flashes, forming strong and powerful limbs, the spikes at the joints menacingly pointing towards the sky.

Faced with the onslaught of the Phantom Spider horde, under Xin Yun's control, Yinglong suddenly shook its body, and in an instant... within a kilometer radius, a blue mist swirled, completely obscuring Xin Yun's figure.

However, there were simply too many Phantom Spiders. As soon as the blue mist appeared, more than a dozen emerged in the vicinity of Xin Yun's body. In Yinglong's current humanoid form, there was no way to escape unscathed. But... it seemed Xin Yun had no intention of escaping; since physical attacks didn't affect him, why not just treat it as practice?

"Dragon battling in the wild!" Facing the massive swarm of incoming Phantom Spiders, Xin Yun suddenly shouted and lashed out with his claws. In a series of muffled sounds, he burst each of the Phantom Spiders that attacked head-on.

Seeing Xin Yun's attacks were so sharp and intense, Yan Qingying immediately changed her mind and attacked from behind Xin Yun. In just an instant, she utilized Reality Shift to transform all the Phantom Spiders behind Xin Yun into True Illusions!

Such a change, of course, didn't escape Xin Yun's notice. The difference between illusions and real images was very apparent; illusions didn't have energy fluctuations, which Xin Yun simply ignored.

However, Yan Qingying's ability was a bit overpowered. Her true body was far away, yet she commanded her illusions to harass Xin Yun. If the illusions couldn't bother him, she could still distract his attention with True Illusions. Once Xin Yun revealed a flaw, Yan Qingying would certainly use Reality Shift instantaneously to move her true body to the flaw and strike to win!

Although Yan Qingying's true body hadn't appeared yet, the battle among the three wasn't about winning or losing. If Xin Yun carelessly got attacked by a True Illusion, that would mean failure. After all... if a True Illusion could attack, it meant Yan Qingying could attack. For her, Reality Shift was just a thought away, where illusions were real, and reality was Yan Qingying's true self.

"Divine Dragon's Tail Swing!" Sensing a few True Illusions pouncing from behind, Xin Yun shouted, and as he did, Yinglong's body rotated. Its nearly twenty-meter-long tail, covered in blade spikes, swept out with a howl, wreaking havoc wherever it passed.
