The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 654 - 277: Demon Dragon Island·End_2

What really shocked Goose Immortal was that the exceptionally thin Wind Blade barely left a trace as it effortlessly penetrated the Metal Shield, continuing towards its neck.

In his desperation, Goose Immortal pulled back his neck and braced his shoulder to receive the attack.

In an instant, its left shoulder was bleeding and torn, the place where the wing was connected to its back showing a third of a tear.

"You’re usually so quiet, but you are ruthless in your attacks!"

Goose Immortal took a sharp breath of cold air, grimacing, no longer carrying the ferocious demeanor it had shown just before.

"My feathers are as sturdy as secret gold."

"Your ’Wind Lingering Sword’ attack is becoming exceptionally skilled, almost chopped off an entire wing of mine!"

"Is that so?"

Huazhu finally spoke. In her golden vertical pupils, there was always a calm serenity.

When she unleashed her second sword strike, there was another thin Wind Blade, which aimed directly at Goose Immortal’s right shoulder.

"&￥*#!"

Goose Immortal immediately hopped up, twisting half of its body with a comical look, narrowly avoiding the Wind Blade.

"Taste this from me!"

Having taken hits continuously, Goose Immortal could no longer endure it, its wings folded, it furiously swung its blade.

"Rip!"

A bit of sword’s light was enough to break mountains and rivers. It was the "Ruthless One-knife Cut", merciless in its execution and always drawing blood with its swing.

On Huazhu’s body, a blazing golden light blossomed. Like a rising sun, she vanished from where she stood, surprisingly abandoning the advantage of distance, her frail body charging into the array of blades directly towards Goose Immortal.

"Sly as a fox! Agile as a leopard!"

"The tempering by the Gate of Life and Death is truly extraordinary!"

The smile of a victor graced Goose Immortal’s face, who pulled out a second blade with lightning speed, striking the flickering golden light:

"I am not to be trifled with!"

"The Gate of Life and Death—I am a regular visitor too, how can I lose in an evenly matched fight!"

"Bang!"

Sword’s light versus blades’ light, annihilating silently.

On looking again, Huazhu appeared hundreds of meters outside the array of blades, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, a faint cough, apparently suffering from a severe shock.

The situation of Goose Immortal was even worse, another third of his left wing was shredded, barely hanging on by skin and bone.

It could no longer maintain a stable flight, and was forced to land, using its large webbed feet to support its body.

"Not using the Bird Squadron and not engaging in a true fight to the death, trying to decide the winner is indeed difficult."

Spitting out a damaged organ, Goose Immortal’s color was disturbed, but its spirit was at its peak

"Huazhu, you now have an endless supply of Wind-based Demon Dragon Crystal Cores, making great strides in growth every day."

"However, I, Goose Immortal, temper my bones with the Blood of Demon Dragon every day and have been absorbing the essence of Spiritual Medicine day and night without stopping. Perhaps, I might progress to the Annihilation Rank of Great Completion faster."

"Perhaps."

Huazhu had no competitive heart and was just focusing on her own tasks.

She turned to leave, and a snowy glow fell from the sky.

"Quack~"

GuaGua arrived, standing on a Sixth-grade Lotus platform, holding a glowing Dragon Egg in his arms, having ventured somewhere again.

"Oh, your timing is perfect, little one. I’m covered in wounds, and could really use a Rubbing Bath to recover."

Goose Immortal came over, flapped its wings, with an expression that said, "I’m ready, start right away."

"Quack!"

GuaGua turned his head and pointed his butt at Goose Immortal.

From his mouth, it spat bubbles at Huazhu, cleaned her, and then washed her clean with water.

After a grand display, Goose Immortal, tired of holding up its wings, saw GuaGua exhaling air in an attempt to dry Huazhu’s hair.

"Why does she get such special treatment? I’ve been good to you too. Are you going to leave me here like this?"

Lowering its wings, Goose Immortal mumbled something under its breath, "Unhappy" might as well have been written across its forehead.

"Whoo~~"

A golden whirlwind began, and in a moment, Huazhu was transformed, beautifully clear from the inside out.

At the corner of her mouth was a faint smile, she patted the little guy’s bottom, then he turned his head and spat a large amount of foam, hitting Goose Immortal’s eyes.

"Jeez, jeez, beep!"

A somewhat perfunctory Rubbing Bath lasted roughly one minute.

After the bath, GuaGua spat out some water.

Compared to the gentle small Water Gun that had landed on Huazhu,

The Wild Wind that landed on Goose Immortal was like a water tornado.

One or two breaths later, GuaGua clapped its hands and quickly hid in Little Black Hat’s hair.

Thereafter, inhaling the sweet fragrance of the lotus flowers after the rain, it sat obediently with a face full of happiness.

"Beastier than beasts, will be the death of this goose!"

Goose Immortal humphed while drying itself off.

It didn’t stay around and took off, flapping its wings, deciding to find the Stone Giant and have some serious sparring, for another fierce physical showdown.

...

Time passed quickly, years went by.

One day, under the high hanging Nether moon, a purple light shone brightly.

The Roiling Demon Clouds suddenly parted, revealing a Black Dragon that was five hundred meters long above head.

Its head bore a single horn, its eyes swirled with color, and when it exhaled, it cut through the void, forcefully forming a Space Gate.

"Dragon Hunting Games - Stop!"

"We request the final survivors, bring your precious hunted Demon Dragons, and orderly leave the island!"

...

The sound of Dragon Chant echoed, accompanied by the anomaly of lightning and thunder, all places on Demon Dragon Island were as silent as cicadas in winter.

In a decaying swamp, a man struggled to climb out, like he had been sleeping for a very long time, the scattered light in his eyes gradually showed vitality.
