The five-meter-tall giant beast, its charge alone was astonishing. If it were allowed to hit the Great Wall, the wall's defense would be significantly reduced.
Since this could be prevented, Zhou Yan would not let the Boss crash into his city wall.
A Yin-Yang Sword Qi, shimmering in black and white, came from afar. The terrifying sword energy tore through the air, erupting with a peculiar sound.
The sword energy was incredibly fast. The Ironclad Dragon Lizard roared, unable to dodge. It retracted its head, shielding itself with the iron armor on its back.
"Clang!"
With a dull thud, the sword energy pierced the Ironclad Dragon Lizard's armor, leaving a trail of blood on its back.
The Ironclad Dragon Lizard screamed, roaring at the sky, its eyes filled with fury.
It glared at Zhou Yan ahead, enraged that this human had broken through its sturdy armor. Unforgivable.
"Roar!"
The Ironclad Dragon Lizard stopped abruptly, turning its body around. It wasn't fleeing; it was preparing to attack.
Its tail, covered in fangs and resembling a giant python, lashed out fiercely at Zhou Yan. Several Ironclad Earth Dragons were caught in the attack and sent flying, crushed into pulp.
The Ironclad Dragon Lizard's strength was formidable, and its tail was also reinforced. If this strike had landed on Zhou Yan, he would have been in serious trouble.
But Zhou Yan was no mere statue. The moment the Ironclad Dragon Lizard turned, he saw its tail begin to lash out.
He had learned Yan Chixia's lightness skill. Although it was a low-level technique, his Agility attribute had reached over two hundred. With his territory's bonus, his Agility attribute could surge to over four hundred.
With such incredible Agility, his movement speed was as swift as lightning.
With a light leap, he sprang up like a bouncing ball.
As he dodged, the Ironclad Dragon Lizard's massive tail slammed down onto his previous position.
"Rumble!"
The ground collapsed, revealing a deep沟壑 (gōuhè - gully/chasm). Dust billowed up. The Ironclad Dragon Lizard's tail was immensely powerful; when it swept up, it cracked like a whip striking with force.
Its massive tail missed Zhou Yan and swept towards where he was falling.
"Whoosh~~"
Like a whistling whip, Zhou Yan dodged with lightning speed. He raised his long sword, rapidly releasing the Yin-Yang Qi within him.
"Clang!"
Sword energy flew. A sword light appeared again from his hand. He began to use the "Seven-Star Sword Technique."
Tian Shu Sword, a direct strike like a fleeting meteor, increased his speed once more. Gripping his long sword, he charged directly at the Ironclad Dragon Lizard, instantly appearing before it. He then clenched his sword and thrust it fiercely into the Ironclad Dragon Lizard's rear.
"Roar!"
In pain, the Ironclad Dragon Lizard writhed rapidly, its tail sweeping back and forth, stirring up a storm. Being hit by the colossal tail would inflict terrible damage.
Zhou Yan did not cease his assault. As soon as he finished one strike, he leaped again, soaring above the Ironclad Dragon Lizard. Sword light flowed as he unleashed the Tian Xuan Sword from the "Seven-Star Sword Technique."
Tian Xuan swept out, unleashing a crescent-shaped sword energy that attacked the Ironclad Dragon Lizard's back.
Just then, the Ironclad Dragon Lizard suddenly turned its head. Its furious eyes met Zhou Yan's in the air. Before it could even roar, it saw a sword energy rushing towards it.
Ironclad Dragon Lizard: "(;oдo)"
"Pfft!"
The sword energy struck the Ironclad Dragon Lizard's head, piercing both its eyes. Two streams of bloody tears flowed from its eyes, and it let out a tragic cry.
The sound was incredibly mournful and desolate, filled with agonizing wails.
Zhou Yan hadn't expected the Ironclad Dragon Lizard to charge headlong into his attack. Was this considered suicide?
He decided to grant the Ironclad Dragon Lizard a swift end. Dodging the charging beast with extreme speed, he consecutively used the seven sword techniques from the "Seven-Star Sword Technique."
Tian Shu Sword, Tian Xuan Sword, Tian Ji Sword, Tian Quan Sword, Yu Heng Sword, Kai Yang Sword, Yao Guang Sword!
The seven great sword moves, combined with the Yin-Yang Qi he had reached in the thirty-second level of Martial Arts, unleashed a terrifying power. Seven sword energies struck the Ironclad Dragon Lizard's body, dealing immense damage.
Countless streams of blood flowed from the Ironclad Dragon Lizard, staining its entire body. After struggling for a moment, its body collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.
Seven deep sword marks, reaching into its bones, appeared on its body, demonstrating the immense power of Zhou Yan's seven sword techniques.

Ugh...
Another announcement.
So troublesome.
As always, he chose "No."

Many novice lords were once again bewildered.
Monsters were still attacking?
It was past eleven at night, and monsters were still attacking?
How many monsters did this person's territory have?
[National Chat Channel]:
"Although today is the second to last day of the novice trial, monsters are still attacking. How many monsters has this person's territory faced?"
"My monster attack ended at 5 PM."
"Mine lasted longer, ending at 7 PM."
"Big shot upstairs, I timidly ask, if my monster attack ended at 10 AM, do I qualify to be your subordinate?"
"I haven't even seen a leader-level monster, yet this person has already killed a Silver-level Boss. I wonder what level it was."
"This person must be the big shot who killed ten Bronze Bosses last time. It's a pity they're so secretive, and we don't know if they're from our country."
"Big shot, please reveal yourself. I want to be friends with you."
"That person is me, hurry up and suck up to me."
"Scammer upstairs, get lost."
