As the lizard's body rose into the air, flying backward, Li Tianyuan appeared before it like a gust of wind—instant, sudden, unstoppable.
His pan was already in motion, swinging toward the airborne beast.
Fast, Lizarius thought.
Faster than before.
The lizard reacted quickly, swinging its wings forward to shield itself.
CLANG!
The pan struck with devastating force, blasting Lizarius backward.
As it tumbled through the air.
Forgot it can fly. Lizarius thought.
Tearing off its leg didn't make it slower.
Li Tianyuan didn't hesitate. He moved again like the wind, instantly closing the distance.
His spear was already thrusting forward, sharp and precise.
The lizard opened its wings wide, generating a burst of wind so strong it formed blades in the air.
Li Tianyuan's eyes narrowed, reacting instantly.
He tilted his head just in time, dodging a blade of wind that sliced past his face.
The sharp wind blades cut through his skin, slicing deep.
Blood sprayed from the wounds, streaking across his arms and chest—but he didn't stop.
His spear pierced forward, aimed straight at the lizard.
Lizarius eyes narrowed as seeing the spear piercing towards him.
Lightning crackled across its scales.
With a sudden swing of its wings, Lizarius tried to retreat.
CLANG!
The spear struck its chest, slamming against thick, armored scales.
The force of the blow—combined with Lizarius own backward momentum—launched it through the air.
Its small form flew down, crashing through trees for miles, bouncing and skidding across the earth until it slammed into a giant rock.
Cracks spread across the stone—then it shattered into rubble.
Still reeling, the lizard spread its wings wide.
Its claws dug into the ground, desperately trying to halt its slide.
But the force was too great. It's Claws carving deep through the earth before finally grinding to a halt..
Lizarius scales were scratched and battered, blood dripping from its chest onto the shattered ground.
The spear had pierced through—just barely—leaving a shallow wound that steamed with heat.
Breathing heavily, Lizarius lifted its head.
Its golden eyes glowed with rage as it looked up at Li Tianyuan, who hovered in the air above.
The temperature dropped.
The air around Lizarius turned deathly cold—so cold that its breath became visible in pale wisps.
Then, without warning, ice spears began forming all around it, sharp and glimmering.
In an instant, the spears launched upward—dozens of them—streaking toward Li Tianyuan like frozen missiles.
He threw his pan forward just in time.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The ice spears struck one after another, smashing into the pan with brutal force.
But he held firm—and blocked them all.
Suddenly, Li Tianyuan's gaze narrowed.
He looked down—but Lizarius was gone.
CRACK!
A surge of lightning lit the air as Lizarius appeared beside his head, jaws wide open, its entire body crackling with violent energy.
It lunged to bite.
CLANG!
Li Tianyuan reacted instantly, swinging his pan up to block the snapping jaws.
Sparks flew as metal met lightning-charged fangs.
With a sharp twist, he shoved the beast's head back.
Not wasting a breath, he gripped his spear tightly and thrust forward—the weapon crackling with energy as it pierced toward the lizard.
But Lizarius saw it.
With a powerful beat of its wings, it twisted sideways, the spear grazing past its face.
In the same motion, its tail whipped around, crackling with lightning—aimed straight for Li Tianyuan's head.
He tilted his head just in time, the glowing tail whipping past like a thunderbolt.
But Lizarius wasn't finished.
With another swing of its tail, it launched several golden scales, each one glowing and charged with electricity, sharp as blades.
Li Tianyuan spun mid-air, his body a blur.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
He blocked the scales with his pan, sparks bursting with each impact.
