The lizard quickly turned, launching itself like a lightning bolt toward Li Tianyuan. In response, Tianyuan released a surge of intense energy and charged straight at the lizard.
They collided midair, their clash so powerful it rippled through the air, shaking the skies.
With a thunderous impact, the lizard was sent hurtling backward, reeling from Li Tianyuan's powerful strike.
But Tianyuan didn't let up.
He surged forward, his spear already in motion. Wings unfurled behind him, he swung with fierce precision.
The lizard steadied itself, its body coiled. With a sudden thrust, it pushed itself backward, its maw glowing a bright, ominous blue.
In an instant, it unleashed a torrent of searing blue flames toward the advancing Tianyuan.
But he did not falter.
With a single, mighty swing of his spear—accompanied by a gust of wind so strong it roared like a storm—Li Tianyuan cut through the blaze, dispersing the flames into harmless mist.
Suddenly, Li Tianyuan's eyes narrowed. He swiftly raised his pan—
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
—ice spears slammed into it, exploding on impact. Without missing a beat, he shifted his gaze to the side.
The lizard lunged from his flank, jaws wide open, lightning crackling between its fangs.
Tianyuan spun sharply, spear slicing through the air in a precise arc.
The lizard caught sight of the gleaming blade and reacted instantly, throwing both wings forward to shield itself—
CLANG!
The spear struck with thunderous force, the impact launching the beast backward through the air.
As it tumbled, a crimson slash was left carved across its wing—his spear had torn through the scales, drawing blood.
Lizarius narrowed his eyes.
It's not just faster… its attacks are getting stronger. If I want to kill it… I need to move even faster.
Spread his wings wide, Lizarius halting its momentum midair.
Its golden eyes widened—reflected in them, the image of Li Tianyuan closing in fast, spear aimed straight at its core.
Too late to block.
Thinking fast, Lizarius opened its jaws and unleashed a thunderous roar.
A massive shockwave erupted from its throat, tearing through the air.
Li Tianyuan clenched his teeth as the soundwave slammed into him head-on, rattling his bones and ringing in his ears—but he didn't stop.
CLANG!
The spear struck true, slamming into the lizard's stomach. It pierced through thick, armored scales and sank deep into its flesh.
Lizarius shrieked in pain, wings flaring wildly as it flung itself backward, blood trailing from the wound as it soared away.
Tianyuan staggered slightly, blood trickled from his nose and ears the aftermath of the lizard's devastating roar—but his gaze remained locked, sharp and unyielding, fixed on his enemy.
Li Tianyuan charged forward, spear in hand,
refusing to give the beast a moment to recover.
the wounded lizard tried to retreat, blood trailing from the wound in its stomach.
With a sudden whip of its tail, it launched a volley barrage of golden scales, each one sharp as a blade, flying straight toward Tianyuan
He raised his pan—
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
—the scales struck, sparking off the metal as he pushed through the barrage.
Closing the distance, he found the lizard trying to shield itself, wings crossing in front of its body.
With a fierce cry, Tianyuan swung his pan—
CLANG!
—it slammed into Lizarius with earth-shaking force, sending the lizard hurtling downward like a meteor.
BOOM!
The impact rocked the battlefield, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and debris.
A crater exploded into the earth where the lizard struck, the ground split and scorched.
Hovering above, Li Tianyuan looked down, eyes sharp and unblinking.
A sudden gust of wind burst from within the crater, blowing the dust away—and through the clearing haze, Lizarius was still standing.
Wings spread wide, body trembling, blood dripping from deep gashes on its chest and stomach.
A hole had been torn clean through one wing where Tianyuan's spear had pierced.
