Chapter 1148: Chapter 392: Giant Tiger Mountain, Slaying the Flood Dragon at White Tiger Pool, Obtaining the Heavenly Yang Fruit, and Profound Gratitude_3

This is not over yet!

Crack...

Roar!

The crisp sound of bones cracking echoed through the heavens and earth. The Black Flood Dragon, in pain, opened its mouth toward Xia Hong and let out a violent roar. From its mouth, a thick column of black fog crazily spewed out, extending instantly three or four hundred meters.

”What the hell is this!”

Xia Hong’s expression changed dramatically. Thinking of the claw marks emitting black gas from Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui, he realized that this black fog was definitely problematic. He dared not be careless and swiftly dodged to the left.

Whew...

However, what happened next was astonishing.

The black fog column spewed from the Black Flood Dragon’s mouth quickly solidified into a tangible entity in no time, resembling a black sword more than three hundred meters long.

There was a reason to call it a sword.

The black fog column actually had edges. Just as Xia Hong dodged to the left, the Black Flood Dragon jerked its head to the left, and the long edge of the fog column instantly slashed into Xia Hong’s left shoulder.

Crack...

Xia Hong’s left shoulder was instantly torn open, and the wound immediately emitted black smoke. The blood and flesh on both sides quickly turned black, clearly the toxin taking effect.

Fortunately, Xia Hong’s bone strength was far beyond that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would certainly have suffered like Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui, with his bones tainted by the toxin.

”Damn beast, hiding such a trick!”

Xia Hong, caught off guard and injured, quickly overcame his fear, rallying and charging again at the Black Flood Dragon.

The Black Flood Dragon’s enormous head was already stained red with blood. Seeing Xia Hong charging at it, especially noticing the Cold Blood Blade in his hand, its pupils were filled with dread and fear.

At the moment the forehead was broken, despite the brevity of that sensation, the Black Flood Dragon was acutely aware that the red saber would devour its blood.

Roar...

Without much thought, the Black Flood Dragon suddenly twisted its body, sweeping the black fog column from its mouth to knock away Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui on both sides, then slightly contracting its abdomen and looking up to roar angrily at Xia Hong.

Bang...

The over three hundred meters long black fog column suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of black smoke, instantly engulfing the entire Tiger Head Peak, plunging the entire surrounding five or six kilometers into darkness, where nothing could be seen.

”This smoke is problematic, control the skin membrane, do not inhale!”

Still stunned, Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui heard Xia Hong’s warning. Quickly, they sealed all their pores and tore off their clothes to wrap the wounds entirely.

”This is a High-level Antidote Pill from the Great Xia, capable of countering most toxins. This Black Flood Dragon’s toxin is too strong; curing it might be difficult, but relief should be no problem!”

Just after the two bandaged themselves, Xia Hong flew over, took out three brown Spirit Pills from his arms, swallowed one himself, and then distributed the remaining two to them.

They took the Dan Medicine and, after exchanging glances, swallowed them directly.

After Murong Chui took the Dan Medicine, he noticed that the black smoke emanating from his wounds indeed diminished, and his expression instantly became excited;

Xiahou Zhang’s face was more than just excited. He watched the black smoke from his wounds diminish, and, perhaps thinking of something, his eyes even slightly reddened, his expression infinitely complex.

Silent, the three resisted the toxin, neither leaving nor speaking.

The black fog persisted for long, lasting over twenty minutes until dusk was nearing, and slowly dissipated.

As the black fog mostly dissipated, Murong Chui looked down at the calm White Tiger Pond below, his expression suddenly froze, turning to Xia Hong and asked:

”Lord Xia Hong, that Black Flood Dragon?”

”Ran away!”

Seeing Xia Hong’s somber expression, Murong Chui’s heart skipped a beat, hastily showing shame, and bowed, ”I am incompetent, ask for Lord Xia Hong’s forgiveness.”

Xiahou Zhang, having calmed down by now, also bowed apologetically to Xia Hong, ”Caused Lord Xia Hong’s attempt to slay the dragon to fail, Xiahou Zhang is ashamed!”

Throughout this battle, from start to finish, not only did the two not contribute much, but repeatedly required Xia Hong to intervene and assist. Ultimately, he tasked them with blocking the Black Flood Dragon’s left and right wings, which they failed to do.

Had their strength not been slightly lacking, considering the power Xia Hong demonstrated in the later stages, slaying this Black Flood Dragon would be a near certainty.

Both were naturally aware of all this.

”There’s no need for such words; after all, the news of the Black Flood Dragon in White Tiger Pond was initially provided by Lord Xiahou, and Lord Murong volunteered to help, I thank you both immensely, so how could I blame you!”

Though the Black Flood Dragon escaped, Xia Hong’s mood was understandably poor, yet he wouldn’t hold Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui responsible, smiling and helping them up, and then glanced down at the White Tiger Pond, smiling, ”Since the Black Flood Dragon ran away, this White Tiger Pond belongs to us, let’s go down and have a look!”

After speaking, Xia Hong directly flew down toward the White Tiger Pond.

Realizing Xia Hong truly wasn’t blaming them, the two’s expressions were slightly moved; exchanging a glance, they followed him down.

White Tiger Pond located at Tiger Head Peak of Giant Tiger Mountain, though called a pond, was at least three or four kilometers in diameter.

Descending, Xia Hong noted the actual size of White Tiger Pond, unable to resist joking with Xiahou Zhang, ”This body of water is not small, should be called a lake, right?”

Xiahou Zhang nodded, explained, ”It is called a pond because my father, Xiahou Ming, discovered Giant Tiger Mountain by accident while flying above early years ago. Then, he saw this body of water from afar and thought it was small, hence named it White Tiger Pond.”
