The maiden's cold rebuke, seemingly imbued with Celestial Might, sent the Wild Flood Dragon into a momentary daze. Its colossal body, dozens of zhang tall...
...went completely rigid.
It then saw Duan Chenzhou slash down with his saber. Surprisingly, it didn't dodge or evade. It allowed the churning waves to billow dozens of zhang high as it met the Crescent Saber's gleaming edge, which split the river as it descended, and took the full force of the blow!
SLICE! RIIIP!!
Blood from the Flood Dragon mixed with shattered scales as the slash tore a massive gash across its belly.
The Wild Flood Dragon's vertical pupils bulged. Writhing in agony at the pier's edge, it churned the river into a frenzy. The massive waves it created battered the wooden boardwalk like a torrential downpour on banana leaves, the water slamming against the planks with a series of loud THUDS, nearly causing the structure to collapse.
CRACK!
