The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 146 Directly Unleashing the Trump Card

At this moment, Taotie had only one thought in its mind:

Since his innate divine power cannot effectively harm Ling Feng, he might as well engage in close combat with him.

Although the sword in Ling Feng's hand made it wary, continuing to passively take hits like this was more dangerous.

As Ling Feng approached, he unleashed several more sharp sword energies, which accurately struck the Taotie's body, leaving behind hideous wounds.

However, these wounds did not stop the Taotie from advancing; it still resolutely approached Lingfeng.

After a fierce battle, Taotie had more than a dozen deep and shallow wounds on its body, but fortunately, it finally managed to get close to Ling Feng.

In fact, Ling Feng had already seen through Taotie's intentions, and he also longed for a thorough and enjoyable battle with Taotie, so he did not choose to fight and retreat at the same time.

Once the human and the beast got close, as if by prior agreement, they simultaneously withdrew their devouring power and began hand-to-hand combat.

With its enormous size and formidable defense, the Taotie aimed to win through sheer strength.

However, Ling Feng possessed a treasured sword that made the beast wary, and his current physical strength was also formidable, so the two were evenly matched for the time being.

Overall, Taotie was at a disadvantage, since Ling Feng could often leave wounds on it with his sword, while Taotie could hardly cause any effective damage to Ling Feng.

"Roar!"

The Taotie roared to the sky, its aura growing even stronger, and launched a frenzied attack on Ling Feng.

"Come on, I want to see who has the last laugh!"

Ling Feng was not afraid at all. He brandished his sword and engaged in a fierce battle with the Taotie.

As time went on, Taotie's body sustained more and more wounds, but Ling Feng was also shaken by its powerful force, causing his blood and qi to surge.

After fighting for a while, Taotie realized that it was difficult to gain any advantage no matter what, and began to retreat.

But Ling Feng was in the heat of battle, how could he let it leave so easily?

"Want to run? It's not that easy!"

Ling Feng shouted and flashed, blocking Taotie's path.

"Suffer to death!"

Ling Feng swung his sword, and the sword light intensified, unleashing a gray sword aura that slashed fiercely towards the Taotie.

Just as Ling Feng's sword energy was about to strike the Taotie, it sensed a threat of death.

As the overlord of monsters, its ferocity was fully unleashed.

The reason I chose to run away earlier was not out of cowardice, but to avoid Ling Feng's sharp edge.

However, escape is no longer an option; the only option is to fight to the death.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the Taotie's enormous body began to shrink.

In an instant, its size shrank, but its strength became even greater.

At the same time, the Taotie's body began to turn red, resembling a cooked shrimp.

Surprisingly, its strength jumped directly from the fourth level of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness to the sixth level.

In fact, Ling Feng was unaware that this was Taotie's innate divine ability.

However, using this supernatural power comes at a great cost, so Taotie usually doesn't use it lightly.

But in a life-or-death situation, it had no choice but to resort to this tactic in order to protect itself.

As the Taotie realm broke through to the sixth level of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness, its body not only shrank, but its defensive capabilities were also significantly enhanced.

This made Ling Feng feel even more pressure when facing it.

More importantly, the Taotie's attack power has also been enhanced.

Ling Feng clearly felt the threat from the Taotie, which made him realize that the battle was becoming increasingly difficult.

In the battle just now, neither the human nor the beast used any spells or skills, relying entirely on pure physical strength to fight back.

However, both Taotie and Lingfeng now felt the powerful threat posed by the other, so they no longer held back and devoted themselves to the battle with all their might.

As Taotie's strength increased, it immediately roared at Ling Feng, as if to release all the pent-up frustration in its heart.

Immediately afterwards, it opened its huge mouth, and an invisible gale burst out from its mouth, like a powerful shock wave, flying straight towards Ling Feng.

Although Ling Feng's physical defense is strong, it is still slightly inferior to that of Taotie.

Sensing the powerful attack, he dodged without hesitation.

At the same time, he decided to fight desperately and unleashed his biggest trump card—the Heavenly Gate Opening Sword.

When Ling Feng unleashed this move, the once clear sky instantly became covered with dark clouds, as if a huge storm was about to break.

Flashes of dazzling lightning occasionally streaked through the dark clouds, accompanied by deafening thunder, inspiring a sense of dread.

Immediately afterwards, the darkness in the sky seemed to be torn open by a pair of invisible hands, revealing a wide crack.

A mysterious and powerful aura emanated from the crack, as if something terrible was about to descend.

Suddenly, a colossal sword slowly descended from the crack.

As the giant sword descended, the surrounding air began to distort, emitting a series of whistling sounds.

Now that Ling Feng's strength has increased, this move is even more powerful than before.

The giant sword had just emerged from its tip, yet the tip was the size of an ordinary mountain, giving off an irresistible sense of oppression.

Once the giant sword appeared, its powerful aura locked onto the Taotie, making it feel that it could not escape no matter what.

As one of the overlords of the demon beasts, Taotie had witnessed countless powerful methods, but never before had it felt so helpless and fearful.

In the blink of an eye, only half of the giant sword had emerged, but its length was already almost touching the Taotie's body.

Upon seeing this powerful sword strike, Taotie felt a surge of despair.

But it is, after all, the overlord of monsters, and is unwilling to give up easily.

So it roared to the sky, mobilized all its power, and used its innate divine power to try to devour the giant sword.

However, faced with such a powerful giant sword, Taotie's innate divine power seemed somewhat powerless.

The giant sword continued its unstoppable descent, poised to strike the Taotie.

Taotie was naturally unwilling to admit defeat, because if it lost, death would be its only fate.

So when it saw that its innate divine power was no match for the giant sword, it immediately prepared to use other means to resist it.

It had just tried to escape, but it was no use. No matter where it ran, the giant sword would lock onto it and it couldn't get rid of it at all.

Suddenly it roared, and then its body continued to shrink until it became the size of an ordinary tiger.

Then, a golden light suddenly flashed across its body, and a golden light curtain surrounded it, making it look very dazzling.

However, even after employing such a defensive measure, it still felt uneasy, so it roared again.

With this roar, all the fur on its body suddenly stood on end, each hair becoming as hard as iron, like steel needles.

After doing all this, it finally felt a little relieved and prepared to face the giant sword's attack.
