The great Tuo Long was originally a crocodile, yet his title bore the character "dragon".
It goes to show how much the great Tuo Long yearned for that legendary realm.
Unfortunately,
Despite his efforts for hundreds of years,
He still failed to touch the threshold of that realm.
But it was precisely because of this that Tuo Long knew just how difficult this path was, and how formidable a true dragon from the legends really was.
Yet now, he was sensing genuine Dragon Power emanating from a human he had never taken seriously, which shook Tuo Long to the core and left him unable to believe it.
"Dragon Power! How can it appear in a human? It's impossible, it must be fake!"
Tuo Long's expression darkened like still waters, igniting the river.
Large droplets of icy water splashed, evaporated with a "hiss" before they hit the ground, forming a huge cloud of steam that obscured the sky.
Within the smokescreen, a towering and ferocious figure slowly stepped forward.
Three grey horns formed a crown atop his head, his whole face was covered in fearsome bone armor, his body clad in layers of thick scale armor, and from his chest spread a web of intense, fiery veins. The moment he stepped out of the void, the howling Dragon Power materialized.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, the vast earth trembled incessantly as if it were a beating heart!
The demons fostered and transformed by Tuo Long's own blood burst consecutively like fireworks at the very moment Su Heng appeared.
"I don't really care about the lives of those mortals, but Baihua County is my territory."
With a ferocious smile on his face, Su Heng clenched his five fingers into a fist. "Since you dare to run wild in my domain, I don't care if you're a great lord or something else. You all have only one end, and that is to be crushed by me."
As he tensed his arm, the fiery stream on his chest ignited, crawling up his neck and onto his face.
After a brief pause, the black sun behind Tuo Long exploded with a boom. Invisible ripples spread outwards, the gravitational pull suddenly reversed into a much more formidable repulsive force. Where the ripples passed, the river spouted huge columns of water a hundred meters high, layers of ground turf were peeled back, and the city crumpled with a thunderous collapse.
In the midst of this apocalyptic sight,
Su Heng and Tuo Long each turned into a black streak, charging towards one another.
Both were extremely confident in their own bodies, abandoning all flashy moves, every strike bone-crunching, relying purely on immense strength and defense to destroy the other. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of punches were exchanged, each capable of smashing a mountaintop; yet when landed on each other, they only left a bloody dent.
"Hahaha, exhilarating!" Su Heng howled, releasing his demon back.
His strength surged once more, his eyes filled with a brutal and savage red glow.
With the activation of the demon back, strength and speed increased by fifty percent across the board. Tuo Long was immediately overwhelmed and could no longer hold on.
An exaggeratedly ferocious punch smashed heavily onto his face.
Half of Tuo Long's face burst open on impact, his bloody skull exposed.
And his body, completely unable to resist this force, crashed into the ground with a thunderous boom, creating a huge crater.
Roar!
A roar emanated from the crater.
Tuo Long reverted to his true form, a massive crocodile over ten meters long appeared in the depressed ground.
The crocodile's body was decked in thick, mountain-ridge-like black Scale Armor, its mouth bristling with sharp teeth, and its face twisted viciously. Opening its maw wide, it used the Sun Swallowing Divine Ability once more. The formidable gravitational pull even reached the clouds thousands of kilometers above, creating the spectacle of a blood-red cloud path.
And without any intention to resist, Su Heng simply leaped forward, following the pull downwards.
Thud!
His body fell like a heavy stone right into the gaping mouth of Tuo Long.
