Then, the crowd saw that the giant wolf king, leading hundreds of other ferocious black wolves, pounced towards Zhou Yan.
"Scram!"
Zhou Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light. With a wave of his right hand, boundless spiritual energy surged from his palm, instantly forming a violent wave of wind that blew away the surrounding plants and slammed into the charging black wolf pack.
Boom, boom, boom!
Before these black wolves could get close, they were all knocked to the ground by Zhou Yan's fierce gust of wind.
Although these black wolves were carnivorous, at this moment, they displayed extreme panic and dared not continue their attack.
"Scram!"
Zhou Yan leaped into the air, landing on the back of a giant wolf king. He then stomped heavily on its spine, causing the wolf king to let out a wail and fall directly to the ground.
"Awoo!"
At the same time, the remaining black wolves all turned and fled, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Phew!"
Seeing that the wolf pack had vanished, Zhou Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If those black wolves had continued to attack, he would have been in danger, as his current physical condition was not very good.
"Roar!"
Just then, a low and angry roar suddenly sounded from afar.
Following that, a suffocating pressure slowly spread, enveloping an area of several thousand meters.
"Such a terrifying aura!"
Zhou Yan was slightly stunned.
The next moment, he looked up towards the source of the sound. Less than three kilometers away, a colossal demonic beast, fifty to sixty meters tall, sat cross-legged. This demonic beast was blood-red all over, with a flame mark on its forehead, as if it were a living, burning inferno.
This demonic beast exuded a scorching aura. Its nostrils spewed raging flames, making the surrounding temperature much hotter.
"This is... a True Dragon!"
Upon clearly seeing the appearance of this giant demonic beast, Zhou Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.
A True Dragon!
This was a legendary existence, and even a trace of its bloodline was enough to defy the heavens.
A demonic beast at the Divine General realm!
No wonder the ferocious black wolf pack had been so terrified that they turned tail and fled.
The aura of this True Dragon was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary Divine General.
"Roar!"
As if noticing Zhou Yan's presence, the True Dragon raised its head and let out a roar. In an instant, its previously closed eyes snapped open, and two scorching gazes shot towards Zhou Yan like meteors.
"As expected of a divine beast. With just a glance, it can unleash such terrifying destructive power. If a real fight were to break out, even a peak Divine General might not be its match!"
Zhou Yan was inwardly shocked and quickly circulated the Yin-Yang Creation Art, condensing the spiritual energy within his body into a black and white ball of Yin and Yang.
This ball of Yin-Yang energy contained terrifying adsorptive power and immediately swallowed the two scorching gazes.
Crack!
These two scorching gazes shattered instantly.
Not only that, but the Yin-Yang energy condensed by Zhou Yan pursued the attack, piercing directly towards the True Dragon.
Puff!
A muffled sound was heard.
The True Dragon's massive body suddenly stiffened. Then, its body rapidly withered like a deflated ball. Thick black smoke even billowed from its body, making it appear exceptionally desolate.
"Roar!"
The True Dragon let out a pained cry.
Zhou Yan's face showed surprise. "What's wrong with this True Dragon?"
According to his perception, this True Dragon was on the verge of death, with only its last breath remaining.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, brilliant green light emanated from the True Dragon's head, and complex, mysterious patterns appeared on its forehead. This was a forbidden technique in the dragon clan's secret arts – Ancestral Return!
In an instant, its body rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive ball of flesh covered in thick gray fur.
Then, with a flick of its tail, the True Dragon snapped a nearby ancient tree in half.
"This True Dragon should possess dragon bloodline, perhaps..." Zhou Yan murmured.
However, at this moment, the True Dragon clearly had no time to bother with Zhou Yan. It was frantically scratching its wounds with its claws.
From the ghastly, horrifying wounds, blood dripped out, dyeing its fur red.
"Roar!"
Finally, the True Dragon completely lost its temper. It opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of emerald-green venom.
Wherever the venom passed, the ground immediately corroded into a long沟壑 (gōuhè - gully/ravine), and even the void twisted.
"Such potent poison. If I were to be hit by it, I'd likely be poisoned to death!"
Zhou Yan's heart grew cold, and he did not hesitate to use his movement technique to dodge.
Moreover, he vaguely sensed that the True Dragon's injuries seemed to be recovering rapidly. The ghastly wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And its aura grew increasingly powerful and terrifying, eventually reaching a level comparable to a certain realm!
Rumble~~~
As its aura reached its peak, the entire ground began to tremble violently.
It was clear that the True Dragon had sensed danger and was gathering its strength.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the True Dragon suddenly stood up and spat out a giant fireball.
Boom!
The fireball exploded, turning into a sea of fire that swept in all directions, scorching all the nearby vegetation and even melting through the earth.
"Roar!"
The True Dragon again opened its mouth and spewed out a column of fire.
This fire column moved at extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, it crossed hundreds of feet and arrived in front of Zhou Yan, smashing down towards him.
"As expected of a divine beast-level True Dragon, its attack speed is truly astonishing."
Looking at the fire column before him, Zhou Yan's pupils contracted, but his reaction was extremely swift. He stamped his foot, performing the Nine Yang Footwork, and leaped into the air.
With a bang, the fire column grazed past him and struck the ground.
Whoosh...
The hard soil and rocks were all pulverized by the impact of this fire column. Zhou Yan, using this immense thrust, flew directly into the air, escaping the fire column's lock.
However, just as he was about to descend, he suddenly froze.
Because he discovered that the True Dragon had followed him into the air.
"Roar!"
The True Dragon's eyes were fixed on Zhou Yan, filled with cold, bloodthirsty intent.
This True Dragon seemed to have mistaken him for an enemy.
