X-Dragon Era

"Whoo..." With a howl, the leader of the Death Sand Dragon instantly transformed into a gray stream of sand, swept past Xin Yun's side in an instant, and as Xin Yun was turning his dragon's head, the Dragon of Death had already completed its formation, shooting a scorching barrage of sand bullets towards Xin Yun's direction.

"Damn it!" Upon seeing this, Xin Yun couldn't help but curse silently, his dragon's head jerked aside, narrowly dodging the bullet, and in one fierce motion, he raised his right hand, and the Shadowless Dragon Claw struck again with a thunderous impact, hitting the Death Sand Dragon leader's body hard, blasting it into a cloud of sand dust.

"Stop!" Before the Death Sand Dragon could reform, Xin Yun hurriedly raised his hand and shouted to Yi Luo Xiang not far away. Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang nodded with a smile, and at the same time, the gray-black airflow instantly whirled up behind her, rapidly taking shape.

An entire week had passed since they were close to capturing the little creature. In that week, Yi Luo Xiang had been controlling the Death Sand Dragon, training non-stop with Xin Yun. Yi Luo Xiang practiced Dragon Control Technique, while Xin Yun trained in combat and evasion skills.

At first, even when controlled by Yi Luo Xiang, the Death Sand Dragon leader couldn't pose a real threat to Xin Yun, who had combat experience from a past life. Coupled with the invisible and intangible Dragon Claw, it was defeated miserably every time.

However, as the training continued, Yi Luo Xiang's growth was alarmingly fast! She quickly grasped the characteristics of the Death Sand Dragon, and her command became more adept, unleashing a power that even surpassed the Death Sand Dragon itself.

The Death Sand Dragon had two forms—a Dragon Body and a sand flow form. Both could launch attacks. The Dragon Body could shoot individual sand bullets, while the sand flow form could unleash a group Sandstorm Blast, both with formidable power.

"Simple yet not simplistic," this phrase perfectly described the Sand Dragon. Although its attacks seemed simple, merely spouting sand bullets or creating Sandstorms, if one dedicated their life to mastering these two skills, along with its indestructible nature, anyone with a bit of imagination could foresee how powerful it would become.

Don't be fooled by its current ability to shoot only one sand bullet a second. At higher levels, it could fire countless bullets every second, each bigger than a fist, containing boundless fiery energy, and with astonishing speed.

As for the Sandstorm, its power was already considerable, and continued training would lead to a devastating force capable of toppling and shattering anything, even tearing through steel with ease.

The Death Sand Dragon was made of sand grains and seemed to be an Earth Dragon. It wasn't very fast in flight, but once it transformed into its sand flow form, it was incredibly swift. Once it caught you, it could use the opposing airflow to follow you tirelessly, no matter how fast you flew.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After getting familiar with the characteristics of the Death Sand Dragon, under Yi Luo Xiang's command, it became elusive; appearing on the left one moment, then suddenly moving to the right. If Xin Yun's dragon wasn't from the Shen Long Clan, the sheer movement would have been enough to make him dizzy.

Yi Luo Xiang's intelligence was beyond doubt. Under her command, the Death Sand Dragon mostly stayed in its sand flow form, becoming a whirlwind surrounding Xin Yun, ready to launch a Sandstorm at any moment. However, if you were fully prepared for the Sandstorm, Yi Luo Xiang would instantly condense the Sand Dragon, firing off scorching sand bullets.

After Yi Luo Xiang's Soul Chain, although it was unclear how she accomplished it, it was evident that Yi Luo Xiang could enhance the Death Sand Dragon.

Perhaps it was a memory error or perhaps Yi Luo Xiang's influence, but now the Death Sand Dragon's condensing speed only needed two seconds. At first, when they encountered this creature, it needed three seconds to form.

It wasn't just the condensing speed that had improved; the sand bullet's flight speed and the Sandstorm's rotation speed had also increased considerably. It wasn't just an illusion; otherwise, Xin Yun's memory would be terribly poor.

By now, facing the Death Sand Dragon, Xin Yun could still win, but he had no choice but to rely on the power brought about by the 9.9 grade Dragon Creation Stone — the Divine Dragon Claw, also known as the Shadowless Claw, Dragon Claw Hand. Without this move, Xin Yun would have no way at all.

Moreover, even with this move, Xin Yun could only slowly whittle away at the creature, depleting the Death Sand Dragon's energy until it was over, but… to grind the Death Sand Dragon to death would take at least a whole day even with Yi Luo Xiang willing to cooperate. It was… just too exhausting!

Watching Yi Luo Xiang slowly flying over this way, Xin Yun couldn't help but sigh. In her previous life, the dragons enslaved by Yi Luo Xiang were also very formidable, but it seemed this girl was too fond of beauty back then, enslaving only dragons that were extremely beautiful, all of them butterflies, in various colors.

Although they were also very powerful, they still fell short when compared to the Death Sand Dragon. Find more to read at empire

You must know, dragons are not just about being strong; in Xin Yun's view, immortality is the most terrifying. Back then… if Yi Luo Xiang had enslaved six Death Sand Dragon Kings, their deterrence would have been incomparable to that of the six butterflies, which, though not as pretty, were much more powerful in use!

As Xin Yun pondered, Yi Luo Xiang, riding on the Flash Butterfly, arrived beside him. From a distance… Yi Luo Xiang spoke in a delicate voice, "Your move is just too cheeky, absolutely unavoidable. Even though I can use Soul Ripple to scout, that claw is so infuriating; it strikes the moment it appears, leaving no time for any reaction."

"Cheeky?" Upon hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun broke out in a cold sweat. The Dragon Claw Hand might be strong, but it didn't seem as cheeky as Yi Luo Xiang.

In his previous life, Xin Yun had never seen this girl lift a finger, and in fact, she might never have needed to use a combat technique at all. Once a battle started, this girl would always disappear in a flash, then her six Puppet Dragons would roar out.

No matter the opponent, they would cause a major headache, and even if these Puppet Dragons were defeated, what use was it if Yi Luo Xiang herself remained unharmed?

Looking at Yi Luo Xiang, who had stopped ten meters away, Xin Yun tested, "Yi Luo… don't you think this Death Sand Dragon is quite ugly?"

"Ugly?" Puzzled, Yi Luo Xiang frowned and looked up and down at the Death Sand Dragon for a moment, then shook her head, "It's not ugly at all, I find it rather cute!"

"Ah!" Startled by Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun cried out. But upon closer inspection, the Death Sand Dragon wasn't ugly at all; in fact, it was rather stylish!

The Death Sand Dragon was quite small compared to other dragons that were easily twenty to thirty meters long. This one was only three meters in length, with a slim body no thicker than half a car, and a very streamlined entire body, shimmering with a metallic grey luster, resembling a product of high technology.

After musing for a moment, Xin Yun continued, "If given the choice, would you prefer a beautiful Butterfly Dragon, or a Death Sand Dragon, which is not necessarily beautiful, but stylish?"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang frowned, then resolutely said, "I would choose whichever is stronger."

"Come on!" Xin Yun exclaimed again, how had this girl changed so much, her personality so different from her previous life? You must know… In her previous life, she was the very essence of aestheticism! Beauty was her first priority, followed by strength.

As Xin Yun stood in amazement, Yi Luo Xiang continued, "What's the use of just being good-looking? Without strength, it's completely useless. Dragons are for fighting, not for admiring."

Faced with Yi Luo Xiang's drastically different philosophy from her previous life, Xin Yun was utterly speechless. He very much wanted to ask this girl what it was that had led her to develop such a completely different viewpoint from her past life.
