Chapter 133 Living Towards Death

After a surge of energy, the man and the dragon merged into the 'Phantom Realm'.

Even if the drone is equipped with a high-speed camera, what is displayed on the screen is just up and down, left and right. The light waves generated by the collision of the two forces cannot capture the figures of either side at all.

The lightning strikes, accompanied by bursts of light, repeatedly gripped the hearts of people around the world.

The whole world fell silent.

It's truly unimaginable how a tiny creature the size of a green pepper could fight against the claws of a giant dragon.

So the director switched the camera back to Lao Xu, hoping that he, who had come with the young peppers, could provide an answer.

Old Xu was staring intently at the big screen when he suddenly saw the image change to his own back. He was startled, then tilted his head and turned around, chuckling to himself, seemingly puzzled.

At that moment, a reporter quickly shoved a microphone to his mouth and asked, "Sir, can you explain how they fought when there's such a large size difference between them?"

This was precisely the key to why Lao Xu was so engrossed in watching, so he said without hesitation, "You can understand it this way: the 'momentum' of both sides is the same, that is, the 'momentum' of equal strength."

With this momentum, both sides became like boxers in a ring, no longer limited by height.

"You mean, they're evenly matched now?"

The reporter only grasped the superficial meaning and pressed for further questions.

"Well... I can't say for sure either."

Old Xu only knows how to tell fortunes, he doesn't understand fighting, and fighting is about "fighting for divine will," so he can't figure it out either. He simply turned back to the big screen.

The two sides in the battle were never evenly matched.

With only two seals open, Green Pepper struggled every time it clashed with the Black Dragon's "potential energy".

At first, he only felt a tingling sensation all over his body, but he could still manage to move around with some difficulty.

But the endless back-and-forth battles eventually caused him to lose his edge, and the feeling of helplessness that permeated his very soul.

Later on, he became the "playing ball" in the eyes of the Black Dragon.

At this point, he stopped dodging and weaving, and simply stayed in the air to conserve his energy.

Whenever the black dragon attacked with invisible force, he would raise his strength to block it back, sweating profusely and panting heavily.

After each such confrontation, his floating height seemed to be hammered by an invisible sledgehammer, decreasing segment by segment.

Until his feet touched the water's surface, he used the power of the stars to expand the tension in his feet, finally stabilizing his heels and "standing" on the water's surface.

The surging water surface also helped him dissipate a lot of his energy.

How could the black dragon let him have his way? It kept increasing its strength, determined not to stop until it had knocked him into the sea.

The green pepper sensed its intention and indeed saw its own tension causing the "sea surface" to sink continuously.

Fortunately, he wasn't stubborn. There are countless methods and techniques, so why be fixated on just one? He raised his finger to activate the technique.

|Two Elements-Water Method-Water Dragon Gate|

When the technique was completed, the sea surface surged, and a huge water dragon gate rose from it.

The black dragon immediately stopped its attack, hovered in mid-air, and looked at the object below with a thoughtful expression in its eyes.

At the Water Dragon Gate, Green Pepper asked, "Do you know about fish leaping over the Dragon Gate?"

The black dragon coiled its body and replied, "I understand. You want to create a fake dragon to fight me."

But have you ever considered that I am a true dragon, unparalleled in the world?

"So, you only guessed half right."

As he spoke, Green Pepper snapped his fingers.

half?

Black Dragon was puzzled.

Just then, the seawater stirred again behind the Water Dragon Gate, and a column of water shot through the gate toward the black dragon. Because the water column passed through the gate, it transformed into a dragon along the way, becoming a water dragon.

Then the water dragon roared and bit down hard on the black dragon's claw.

The water dragon had not fully transformed into a dragon; its rear half behind the dragon gate was still in the form of a water column and had not yet left the water. This was different from what the black dragon had guessed—that they would fight. The black dragon was puzzled once again.

Suddenly, the water dragon exerted its strength and began to pull back the sharp claw that was biting it.

At this point, Black Dragon understood that Green Pepper wanted Water Dragon to pull it into that Dragon Gate.

"The other half is someone who goes against the grain, drags you into the Dragon Gate, and transforms your dragon energy... You, naturally, can break through."

The green pepper told it that it hadn't guessed.

The black dragon was genuinely startled, for it considered itself invincible, but the green pepper had come up with a way to break its fate that it had never even considered.

Thinking of the primordial enemy it had vaguely sensed when it gained consciousness, it couldn't help but look at the green pepper with new eyes.

But that was all. The black dragon, regaining its senses, locked its eyes and, with a slight exertion, pulled the water dragon in the opposite direction. "I told you, I am a true dragon, how could a fake dragon enhanced by magic be comparable to me?"

indeed.

Green Pepper didn't object and nodded, "But... since it's fake, I can have more than one."

After saying that, he raised his finger again to activate the technique, creating three more Dragon Gates.

Thus, the four dragon gates are placed in the four directions of the Black Dragon.

The three newly emerged water dragons each bit the other three claws of the black dragon.

At this moment, the four dragons exerted their strength together, pulling the black dragon straight down.

Forces from all four directions can only pull downwards, so Green Pepper quickly took a few more steps toward the center, shaking the Bagua Stick as he went, until the Bagua Stick turned back into a heavenly book.

Then, he threw the Heavenly Book towards the center, and the scroll unfurled before landing, corresponding to the size of the black dragon, and grew larger.

He wanted the Heavenly Book to replace the Dragon Gate and eliminate the Black Dragon's thick, bottomless "black energy".

This is the flexibility and unpredictability of combat; a head-on confrontation is not advisable.

Finally, he joined his hands together and pointed his fingers upwards, continuously channeling reinforcing power into the four dragons to strengthen their forms.

Suddenly, while he was completely focused, he couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The reason is that the combined power of the Four Dragon Gates and his output pushed his body to its limit.

If he hadn't been worried about alarming viewers at home, he would have vomited long ago. After vomiting, the tightness in his chest dissipated, and he felt much better.

As he expected, the black dragon was not so easy to deal with. As black flames rose around the black dragon, the four dragons were pulled upwards by it.

The immense stretching force caused the four dragons' bodies to dart between the 'dragon shape' and the 'water column'. If it weren't for his reinforcing power, the four dragons would probably have already fallen apart.

The Black Dragon is too powerful; none of the four dragons can match it.

He had to push himself to the limit and add some more strength to help the four dragons in the tug-of-war.

Even so, the situation became stagnant, with neither side able to gain the upper hand for the time being.

After an unknown amount of time, the green pepper also began to emit "flaming aura".

It's red, and quite stylish.

However, what the world doesn't know is that he knows it himself. While others' black dragons and black flames are an outward overflow of power, he has overexerted himself, and his blood and qi are beginning to boil, evaporating from his pores.

He was secretly in great pain.

Fortunately, he had endured a lot of hardship before awakening. As the saying goes, "Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are first tested with hardship and toil." The hardships he had endured forged his unwavering resolve.

So the pain he's experiencing now is nothing; he can endure it.

Thus, the two sides remained deadlocked, pulling each other's strength, patience, and perseverance.

And so, an unknown amount of time passed.

In the end, both sides fought with bloodshot eyes, and a tear of blood slid from the corner of Qingjiao's eye.

Seeing this, the black dragon was very pleased with himself, "Still not giving up?"

I was simply trapped in the "Dharma" and unable to escape; I didn't suffer much damage.

If you continue like this, your meridians could rupture at any moment.

"You be smug, I'll stick to mine," Green Pepper replied with a firm gaze. "Who says injury only includes the body? Tell me whether you're feeling good or bad right now."

According to the principles of Taoism, if your heart is at peace, everything else will go smoothly. If your heart is not at peace, what else can you talk about?

In this rally, Heilong expended just as much effort as Qingjiao. Qingjiao, with a single sentence, completely dismantled Heilong's once-proud advantages.

The black dragon, therefore, was enraged and his eyes blazed with fury.
