Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545
As the battle progressed, Du You realized that the Three-headed Gold Dragon was truly extraordinary. However, there was no choice—Du You and the two sisters had too few techniques and insufficient advanced skills, so they could only be suppressed by the opponent.
That’s right, this was the first time Du You had been forced into a corner on this battlefield. If it were a mid-tier stage seven opponent, that would be one thing, but the opponent was also an early-stage tier seven, just like him. Even though there was a two-level difference between 63 and 61, it still felt unfair.
Du You felt that things couldn’t go on . There was no choice; it seemed he would have to go all out.
With a wave of his hand, accompanied by a flash of holy light, a bubble appeared beside Du You. "Go, protect Yucha."
The bubble obeyed his command and flashed over to Lin Yucha. Light matched with light, and they finally clashed against each other. Though the bubble’s overall strength was somewhat weaker, with Lin Yucha’s support, it was a different story.
Next, Du You released Xiaozi. With a wave, Xiaozi went over to Lin Yushi.
The Purple Lightning God Hawk’s power was no small matter; once its energy burst forth, the resulting combat prowess was dazzling. The two Thunder and Lightning Attribute powerhouses coordinated together, managing to evenly match the fire attribute head.
But this still wasn’t enough. Du You remained caught in a precarious situation.
"So you’ve been hiding your strength all along. Truly impressive," Skalid spoke, his gaze growing more solemn. The immense power that had previously been displayed suddenly surged even further.
This guy hadn’t been fighting seriously the entire time.
"Go, let this guy see what you’re made of." Suddenly, a black shadow flashed into view.
Death God’s Thorn—a killer move of the Desert Death God—abruptly erupted from Du You.
A spatial barrier suddenly enveloped the Three-headed Gold Dragon, blocking this attack. Du You felt a twinge of regret; this technique was always a trump card, incredibly fast and nearly impossible to evade. But alas, no matter how fast it was, it couldn’t outpace the speed of space.
Moreover, the lethality of this attack derived mostly from its poison; its base attack power wasn’t particularly high. Once blocked, the poison leaked out, even twisting the Void slightly in the process.
"Such potent poison! If it weren’t me, no dragon in this world could escape its fatal touch."
The Three-headed Gold Dragon’s gaze grew darker with danger. Meanwhile, Du You begrudgingly continued the fight. Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
Though there were many tier seven dragons in this world, none were currently at late-stage tier seven. There were a few mid-tier stage seven dragons, but even they wouldn’t be able to block this attack. Only Skalid, with his Spatial Attribute, could withstand it.
Such toxic properties were something even Skalid dared not underestimate; judging by the external signs, getting hit by this attack would lead to poisoning. Even if he managed to escape afterward, detoxifying himself would be no simple task.
If word got out that someone as powerful as Skalid had been injured by someone weaker, the humiliation would be unbearable. Even the royal family of the Dragon Clan cared about saving face; otherwise, why would anyone follow him in the future?
Just that one move was enough to make the enemy incredibly apprehensive. Even with Spatial abilities, he dared not act recklessly.
Du You’s Shadow Spirit Light Ball shrouded the surroundings, forcing the opponent into a begrudging response.
The defenses on the Light Attribute front remained impregnable; Lin Yucha’s attacks couldn’t break through, and the bubble was limited to just shielding her from the opponent’s offenses. Meanwhile, the fire attribute head launched increasingly ferocious attacks.
Flames and thunder intertwined continuously, with Lin Yushi perpetually skating on the edge of danger.
Facing the Three-headed Gold Dragon, Du You held his ground, while the Desert Death God occasionally struck with surprise attacks. Although these weren’t killing blows, the opponent still didn’t dare lower his guard, resulting in an incredibly suffocating battle. Were it not for this approach, Lin Yushi might have already been injured.
The dragon’s three heads ceased acting independently, instead forming a seamless coordination strategy.
This collaborative power was more natural and potent than before. Du You observed that the opponent’s method of three-way synchronization and cooperation was stunning—it outmatched even the soul-linked capabilities of triplets.
Du You unleashed all his abilities at this point, holding nothing back. The two sisters also activated their telepathy, their synergy reaching a pinnacle.
Even with that, the Three-headed Gold Dragon struggled but wasn’t defeated. Likewise, Du You and his allies couldn’t seem to gain the upper hand. This fight devolved into a prolonged standoff; neither side could overpower the other.
Neither could afford to retreat, as the moment someone attempted to withdraw, they would have to endure the opponent’s retaliation—highly likely to be the decisive tipping point.
But such an impasse didn’t bode well for Du You. If the Dragon Clan summoned reinforcements, Du You would be in real danger. Never before had Du You felt his situation to be this precarious.
Originally, upon hearing that some people had been killed or critically injured, Du You had dismissed it lightly. But now, he faced this reality himself.
He began mentally calculating the time. If this dragged on too long, Du You would have no choice but to flee with the two sisters, even at the cost of severe counterattacks. Better that than being trapped here when additional dragons arrived, ensuring his demise.
Fortunately, he had the bubble’s recovery ability; his injuries would only delay him temporarily.
At the same time, Skalid felt deeply frustrated. As a mighty Three-headed Gold Dragon, when had he ever been forced into such a miserable situation? And by an opponent far weaker than himself, no less.
The Three-headed Gold Dragon didn’t consider the other two heads’ power as separate from his own. His absolute followers weren’t seen as external forces either. Thus, in Skalid’s mind, this conflict was a solo duel rather than a group fight. To lose in such a one-on-one match to a weaker rival was unbearably humiliating.
Du You also silently analyzed the situation, concluding that the Three-headed Gold Dragon’s combat strength was probably on par with a tier-ten powerhouse.
Of course, this was just Du You’s personal evaluation—he wasn’t saying the opponent was literally tier ten. The Dragon Clan didn’t follow star rankings, and the fighting capability of a three-headed dragon was heavily tied to its individual heads.
Du You believed that if all of his skills were advanced, he would be stronger than this opponent at the same level.
But the current scenario was far from ideal. The battle was locked in equilibrium, with both sides continuously escalating their efforts, yet neither could harm the other or claim victory. The situation settled into a tense stalemate.
As time ticked by, Du You became increasingly tense and impatient.
In truth, Skalid was equally on edge. However confident—or arrogant—he was, Skalid had no intention of allowing other dragons to intervene. Thus, he had no reinforcements.
Meanwhile, since Du You was a Professional, Skalid worried that Du You might have his own reinforcements in reserve. If that were the case, Skalid’s end would likely be disastrous. After all, a Three-headed Dragon wasn’t just a symbol of honor—it was also the finest material.
