The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 297 - Northern Ice Island VII
"Just calm. I'm not that easy to kill."
Xin Fai quickly turned her face to the side, seeing a small, water-colored dragon flying over her shoulder. Looks really cute.
"I need time to gather my strength from the original body, while it lasts. Don't worry about me anymore."
"Well, who's worried about you?" He interrupted, not wanting to make the Water Dragon misinterpret.
"You think I didn't see how you looked from earlier?"
"When we discussed. Lang!"
A wolf came from the light, a loud roar made the Ice Dragon that was moving towards them slightly diverted. He watches the wolf.
"Qiang Jun's maintenance is still alive today? How long has it been, yes, since that day?" ask the Ice Dragon. "You and your master are like old friends, and today you have to obey others. Did you never think how Qiang Jun would feel when he saw his beloved pet submissive to someone else?"
"It was precisely Qiang Jun who asked me to look after his successor, rather than that I was more concerned about you. How can you live alone like this, every year just circling around like a jobless person in the sky."
"Lack of work, you say?!"
Xin Fai and the Water Dragon stared at each other. It's really worth slapping Lang when they get home. He should know who he's insulting right now.
"Fucking wolf! I won't let you live after this!"
As the Ice Dragon started moving the three of them forward at high speed welcoming the dragon, they fought very fast and were difficult to catch with their eyes because they only looked like shadows. Xin Fai used a bit of his spirit power to make Lang fly, the wolf attacked the dragon's vital parts.
Although Lang's running speed could not keep up with the Ice Dragon's speed but used space transfer and spirit power, outwitting the Ice Dragon was no longer a difficult matter. Plus now that the Water Dragon is disturbing his attention, little by little Lang's claws begin to tear the outer layer of the dragon's skin that has an extraordinary thickness.
In fact, behind the outermost layer there are still two layers whose thickness is much crazier, opening the first layer only requires a very hard effort.
The fight continued unceasingly, the clouds blowing indefinitely until finally on the third day since the big fight took place still there were no signs of victory. The Ice Dragon still had plenty of stamina to deal with the two demons and one human in its hands.
Although it started to have many incisions and scratches along its body but it was still better than the Water Dragon, that one demon had already been heavily injured. Along his body the blood began to dry up, his flying speed and strength were reduced with time.
Xin Fai put up a ready-to-attack position together with Lang, his breathing felt like it was going to stop. Only once in a lifetime did he face a fight as hard as this, taking days and forcing him not to stop.
Because of the current situation, stopping moving was just like allowing yourself to be stabbed. The attack speed of the Ice Dragon had indeed begun to decrease but it had never weakened by much.
Starting to hear the sound of the Ice Dragon, Xin Fai grasped his sword ready to slash if the Dragon attacked. The bones in his body began to give rise to strange symptoms, countless numbers of how many ribs he had broken in the fight.
"What do you think for tens of thousands of years I've lived here for?"
The Ice Dragon slightly laughed disdainfully. "You've never asked the Thunder Fox about her life's jewels? I'm guessing a fool like you just complied without knowing anything about this thing you're seizing. If you had known from the beginning, I'm sure you'd at least think twice before coming here."
"That living thing belongs to the Lightning Fox, I don't need a reason to snatch it from you!"
"This life gemstone is the special power of the Lightning Fox, he can store an infinite amount of stealth power. You know unlimited...?" The Ice Dragon's smile widened ferociously.
"I've lived here for almost half a million years, you know what that means, right?"
"Relax... Then I have an offer for you."
Xin Fai raised his face to look at the suspicious Ice Dragon, he was sure the Ice Dragon would definitely want to ask for something to add to its already overstretched strength. "Give me the sparks and these two demons, you can go home safely."
"You're crazy!?" Xin Fai exclaimed loudly. "I'm not leaving them!"
"Be aware of your position now, there is clearly nothing you can fight for. Not always your struggles bear fruit, you overextend yourself, son of man."
"No matter what you say, I will continue to do what I do." He insisted, looking towards the Water Dragon who was starting to bring his body closer to the ground. Stop moving to restore his strength.
"Water Dragon hold on, I'll protect you while you recuperate."
The Breath of the Water Dragon sounded extremely heavy, there was too much blood clogging the demon's neck.
"Recovering my energy? My body has been damaged too badly, instead of recovering it for days I'd rather use it now."
"Don't, you–"
"At least after this I found it useful, I managed to save you. That's enough." The Water Dragon remembered his master first, the man fell ill and died just like that while he had no power to save him.
"Not so, there's another way. Perhaps," said the young man hesitatingly. Too much fighting he doesn't have time to think.
"Then can you explain to me the plan? I don't think you have it either." The Water Dragon exhaled slowly, feeling his heart begin to suffer damage from the ice flower infiltrating within his body silently. It was undeniable that this ice world was too cruel, all moving over the control of the Ice Dragon.
Xin Fai was silent for a long time, he saw the Ice Dragon was recovering his injuries very quickly, he had almost cursed. The injuries they had made for three days could he heal in just one minute.
The Water Dragon flew over to the Ice Dragon, intending to kill him with all final effort. He did not care about his life anymore, Xin Fai could not get out alive from the North Pole without the jewel of life. For that he had to open the road by making the dragon seriously injured.
Xin Fai couldn't take it, he chased after the Water Dragon in panic. "Water Dragon! We can't be rash! With that many wounds scraping his nails of course it can't!"
The Water Dragon refused to listen. He keeps moving.
"You hear me not?!"
Xin Fai was still attacking him, and even Lang was roaring. Like not letting him go.
"Shui!"
The Water Dragon stopped hearing the foreign name, he turned around to see Xin Fai smiling a little. "Why? Your new name sounds weird, huh?"
"New name?"
"Yes... That's it."
