Chapter 5451 Gu Yang vs. Black Crow Dragon Race Leader

With Long Chen’s return, the Dragonblood Legion no longer had any misgivings. Gu Yang could now go all out. As the first captain of the Dragonblood Legion, it was his duty to let his brothers vent their pent-up anger through him.

The moment Gu Yang pointed the dragon spear at the black crow dragon race leader, sharp killing intent locked onto the latter, surprising the surrounding experts.

Although the Dragonblood Legion had clashed with the dragon race's disciples, those b.l.o.o.d.y battles were brief and led mainly by ordinary Dragonblood warriors. Neither Gu Yang nor the squad leaders had needed to fight personally. Hence, this was the first time these dragon race experts witnessed the bald captain in action.

When Gu Yang’s killing intent surged, it left even half-step Dragon Emperors visibly shaken.

“Who do you think you are to challenge our race leader?” sneered a genius of the black crow dragon race.

This guy was second only to Wu Yifeng in strength and immediately leaped forward to intercept Gu Yang's challenge. Wielding a ma.s.sive broadsword, he slashed it toward Gu Yang with ferocious power.

“Scram!”

Gu Yang bellowed, and a torrent of wild Blood Qi erupted from him like an exploding volcano. With a single thrust of his spear, the “genius” was blasted into the air like a broken kite.

Long Chen’s heart shook. Gu Yang’s dragon power was astounding, surging without his manifestation. It was as if he had turned into a real dragon. His aura also carried an innate resonance, almost akin to Long Chen’s own. At this moment, it became clear: the dragon bone spear was not merely a weapon in Gu Yang’s hands—it was an extension of his very being. The synergy between man and weapon was flawless.

As Long Chen expected, this spear could only unleash its full potential in Gu Yang’s hands.

The defeated genius forced himself to stop mid-air. However, as soon as he stabilized, blood spurted from his mouth.

Gu Yang’s blow hadn’t been at full strength, as his true power was reserved for the black crow dragon race leader. If the defeated genius had let himself fly further, the impact would have dissipated harmlessly. Instead, his pride compelled him to stop in the air, and the resulting backlash left him severely injured.

Although the injury appeared minor—a single mouthful of blood—it was far from superficial. The genius’s body and aura visibly withered, rendering him incapable of fighting anymore.

“Foolish human. Since you want to die, I’ll grant your request.”

The black crow dragon race leader had looked down on Gu Yang. However, after witnessing him unleash such devastating power with a casual blow, he couldn’t help but feel cautious.

BOOM!

The s.p.a.ce behind the black crow dragon race leader exploded. Within the swirling darkness, a ma.s.sive black dragon emerged, and the full might of a half-step Dragon Emperor surged, shaking the heavens.

The immense pressure forced the surrounding experts to retreat in panic. Even though it was merely a pa.s.sive release of his aura, it was unbearable. Many felt as though their very bodies were on the verge of being torn apart.

Once they were actually fighting, the dragon might would be ten times greater, crus.h.i.+ng them instantly.

The black crow dragon race leader’s raging Blood Qi churned like a tempest, and the black dragon behind him swam menacingly through the swirling qi. This was not a manifestation but a projection of his true dragon form—a display of raw, unrestrained power.

After pa.s.sing the Human Emperor realm, dragons started to shed the limitations of their human form, gradually reclaiming their true dragon form. In this state, they could unleash their full, terrifying potential.

However, many dragon experts had spent the majority of their lives in human form, even before reaching the Human Emperor realm. Much of their combat expertise was rooted in their human form. Hence, even after regaining their ability to transform into dragons, they often chose to fight in human form, projecting their true dragon forms through their manifestations. This approach allowed them to seamlessly switch between forms, offering greater flexibility in battle.

The overwhelming dragon might was now focused entirely on Gu Yang. Under the immense pressure, Gu Yang’s bones creaked audibly, and his body quivered slightly. Yet, his expression remained calm, and his eyes never wavered from their target.

“A little human dares to challenge a half-step Dragon Emperor? Truly courting death. He probably can’t even summon his manifestation in this state,” sneered a dragon expert.

Everyone could see that Gu Yang was under immense pressure. After all, he was facing a half-step Dragon Emperor, and the pressure wasn’t something a Heaven Saint could endure.

The black crow dragon race leader's oppressive aura spread across the battlefield, shaking the heavens and earth. Despite the suffocating atmosphere, one figure remained entirely unaffected—Long Chen.

Long Chen stood calmly near Gu Yang, ignoring the immense dragon might. It couldn’t so much as ruffle his hair or stir his clothes.

The black crow dragon race leader’s gaze remained fixed on Gu Yang, the black dragon behind him coiling and twisting ominously within the swirling black qi. This display was his way of demonstrating to Long Chen that the dragon race was invincible.

However, as his pressure intensified, he began to notice something strange from Long Chen and Gu Yang. Despite standing in the heart of the storm, Long Chen seemed completely oblivious to the dragon might. Most frightening of all, neither the dragon soul lock nor the bloodline lock had any effect on him. Though Long Chen was visibly present, it was as if he were intangible, utterly immune to their influence.

“Fool, your opponent is me. Where are you looking at?” Gu Yang roared, his voice cutting through the oppressive atmosphere.

In an instant, dragon scales spread across his body, s.h.i.+mmering with a primal ferocity. His wild Blood Qi instantly blew apart the black crow dragon race leader’s lock, and he shot toward him.

“What?!”

The black crow dragon race leader’s eyes widened in disbelief. He was certain his aura had completely locked Gu Yang down, leaving him no room to act. How could he have broken free so effortlessly?

What he failed to realize was that Gu Yang had deliberately refrained from summoning his manifestation earlier. Gu Yang had been testing the limits of his physical body, gauging whether it alone could withstand the pressure of a half-step Dragon Emperor.

With the white dragon race’s blessing, Gu Yang had grown even closer to his dragon soul, and his power had risen beyond his expectations.

Hence, seeing the black crow dragon race leader get distracted and s.h.i.+ft his attention to Long Chen, Gu Yang snapped. Enraged by the insult, Gu Yang summoned his manifestation in full force, obliterating the lock and surging forward to launch a devastating punch.

Seeing Gu Yang not using his spear, the black crow dragon race leader unleashed a fist as well. Two fists covered in dragon scales smashed into each other with a heaven-shaking explosion.

BOOM!
