"Roar! Roar! Roar..." Quickly, amid the intense roaring, not counting the main body of mud dragons on the ground, eight crystal six-star great mud dragons appeared in the air!
Eight great mud dragons! Witnessing the eight massive great mud dragons in midair, Xin Yun was utterly shocked. What kind of dragons were these? They were terrifyingly powerful. How could the fight continue like this? Merely dodging them was impossible, and they could even split off into new great mud dragons. How could they possibly be defeated?
Xin Yun knew that something must have been overlooked. No dragon this powerful could possibly exist in the world; it was monstrous. Continuing the battle like this, even Po Kong would hardly stand a chance.
"Gurgle... Gurgle..." Lost in thought, the troubling sound once again came from the great mud dragon below. Hearing this noise, Xin Yun’s heart lurched, and he understood something in an instant.
The main body of the great mud dragon was now squatting on the ground, becoming one with the earth. What could be gurgling inside its belly? Indeed... That must be the sound of water. This creature was sitting on the ground, extending its tail below the surface, absorbing groundwater to summon new great mud dragons!
Usually, there is a water source within ten meters below the surface; drilling a well could easily tap it. For the great mud dragon, simply inserting its tail into the ground was enough to reach more than ten meters deep and directly draw water. Combined with the mud dragon’s own energy, it could almost infinitely split off new great mud dragons!
Mud dragons are earth series giant dragons and can’t produce water themselves. The water inside their bodies is extracted from the air during the condensation of the great mud dragon, which is very limited. Once the great mud dragon is fully assembled, it can no longer obtain water, relying only on absorbing from the air or extracting from the opponent’s attacks. Moreover... it could directly utilize subterranean water sources.
Now, the reason why the great mud dragon was squatting on the ground was not because it couldn’t fly or move. It was extracting water. If left to continue, it could really split off into hundreds of great mud dragons within ten minutes. By then, even an expert of the crystal rank might have to retreat in defeat.

In fact, Xin Yun’s guesses were nearly hitting the mark, except that there are always limits. Wang Kui couldn’t summon great mud dragons indefinitely. Each star increase allowed him to split off one great mud dragon. With Wang Kui being crystal six-star, he could only split off thirty-six great mud dragons at most. Any more was impossible.
The reason everyone said he had summoned a hundred great mud dragons was, firstly, because of the limited space in the arena, a few dozen looked like hundreds, and secondly... thirty-six was just the upper limit. At that time, the crystal rank expert was mighty, instantly destroying swathes of great mud dragons, and with Wang Kui’s abundant energy, the great mud dragons could split off very quickly.
So, at first glance, it seemed like the crystal rank expert had already killed fifty or sixty, but dozens more still appeared in midair; it was merely an illusion. The great mud dragons in the sky were condensed after the death of the old ones.
However, even thirty-six were already terrifying, each possessing the strength of a crystal six-star. It’s just that these split-off great mud dragons lacked intelligence, so other than instinctual dragon breath spraying and melee brawling, they had no combat techniques.
Although not entirely accurate, Xin Yun’s estimation was quite close to the mark. His accuracy was actually due to experience accumulated in a past life.

Now that he understood the crux of the matter, he naturally had a plan. He couldn’t allow the great mud dragon’s main body to continue extracting water from the ground; otherwise, unless he used the Kongtong Seal, he would undoubtedly be defeated.
While thinking about his options, Xin Yun gave a wry smile and shook his head. With his current strength, he couldn’t truly threaten the opponent. The difference in power was too great, and his attribute was precisely the weakness of his own. It was impossible to harm the other side, so albeit reluctantly, he had no choice but to use magical treasure.
Of course, if he were at the same rank, then everything would be different. Xin Yun’s Thunderbolt and the Extreme Yang Golden Needles could shatter the opponent. But now, these two trump cards were obviously not very effective, at best only causing injuries, but not enough to kill.
Sighing, Xin Yun gave another wry smile and shook his head. At this point, he had no choice but to bring out the Sword of Slaughter Immortal, otherwise, although he wouldn’t lose to Wang Kui, he would definitely not win and would end up embarrassingly in a draw.
If it were an ordinary fight, a draw would be acceptable; Xin Yun was indifferent. However, this battle was different; it was about Yi Luo Xiang. Although Xin Yun had not agreed to Wang Kui’s wager to put Yi Luo Xiang at stake, in his heart, Xin Yun had already accepted it. Yi Luo Xiang was the best, so those deserving of her must also be the best, otherwise even if Yi Luo Xiang had no issues, Xin Yun himself would feel inferior and guilty.
Not to mention Wang Kui, even if facing Po Kong, Xin Yun must fight and win. It was a man’s pride—at stakes involving such matters, victory was the only option, even if it meant using the Kongtong Seal, sparing no expense!
As he thought, Xin Yun steered Yinglong, swiftly twisting to avoid the mud jet spray from the eight great mud dragons. At the same moment, Xin Yun clenched his right hand performing the sword technique, and a flash of cold light in his eyes, unsheathed the Sword of Slaughter Immortal resolutely!
