Roar! Roar! Roar!
Fang Yuan opened the massive maw of the flood dragon and spat out torrents of sword-light dragon breath.
The dragon breath erupted like streaks of silver lightning, surging forth at blinding speed and striking toward Feng Jiuge.
Feng Jiuge activated One Tune of Yang Pass to continuously evade.
And whenever he unleashed the One Tune of Yang Pass killer move, it usually heralded the appearance of a different tune servant.
The two clashed from deep underground all the way up into the high sky.
Back and forth, one advancing and the other retreating, dragon roars echoing, drums and bells thundering.
Jade Tune Servant!
During the pursuit, Feng Jiuge conjured a clone.
The jade-colored clone charged straight toward the Ancient Sword Flood Dragon that Fang Yuan had transformed into.
Relying on the One Tune of Yang Pass killer move, Feng Jiuge held the advantage in maneuverability, and with his extensive combat experience and cool-headed rationality, he never erred when activating his killer moves.
Fang Yuan gave a cold snort inwardly, ignoring it entirely as he continued charging at Feng Jiuge.
Feng Jiuge knew well that the Jade Tune Servant was no match for Fang Yuan—setting everything else aside, the Reverse Flow Body Guard Seal alone couldn't be broken through. Without piercing that defense, there was no hope of defeating Fang Yuan.
So Feng Jiuge controlled the Jade Tune Servant to focus mainly on entangling Fang Yuan.
The Jade Tune Servant buzzed around Fang Yuan like a fly, constantly disrupting his advance.
After several exchanges, Fang Yuan grew thoroughly annoyed and suddenly pivoted, turning his attention to the Jade Tune Servant.
Feng Jiuge's pupils contracted sharply—Fang Yuan's shift was far too sudden, though Feng Jiuge's own reaction was swift.
Fang Yuan rushed right up to the Jade Tune Servant!
Against the colossal body of the Ancient Sword Flood Dragon, the Jade Tune Servant was like a tiny fly.
A dragon roar erupted, fierce winds howled, and a pair of sharp, fearsome dragon claws lashed out, slamming hard into the Jade Tune Servant.
Dense cracks spread across the Jade Tune Servant's surface, producing a cascade of crisp tinkling sounds as it was blasted away like a cannonball by Fang Yuan.
But the Jade Tune Servant hadn't shattered to the point of collapse—its form still held, and it retained the strength to fight on.
"Cunning," Fang Yuan snorted coldly in his mind.
In that last strike, the Jade Tune Servant hadn't mounted any offense at all—it simply took the hit passively. Because of this, Fang Yuan's Reverse Flow Body Guard Seal couldn't reflect the opponent's destructive power back. Relying solely on the dragon claws of the Ancient Sword Flood Dragon itself, a single blow wasn't enough to shatter the Jade Tune Servant.
After all, the Dao Marks Feng Jiuge possessed were comparable to the Eighth Transformation level, and the Jade Tune Servant's defensive capability was arguably the finest among all tune servants—no exaggeration.
Having temporarily knocked the Jade Tune Servant away, Fang Yuan immediately resumed his charge at Feng Jiuge.
But by now, Feng Jiuge had already conjured a second tune servant—the Heaven and Earth Tune Servant.
After several dozen more exchanges, Feng Jiuge relied on the One Tune of Yang Pass killer move to keep evading, successively summoning the four great tune servants to entangle Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan fought one against five, yet remained spirited and battle-eager, chasing Feng Jiuge all over the sky.
"What's going on?"
"Before, just maintaining the Reverse Flow Body Guard Seal was already his limit."
"Yet now he's simultaneously sustaining both the Reverse Flow Body Guard Seal and the Ancient Sword Flood Dragon Transformation, fighting for this long—and he still has energy to spare?"
Feng Jiuge's gaze grew contemplative. He had deliberately conjured the tune servants to create a more complex and volatile combat environment, forcing Fang Yuan to constantly think and burn through mental energy processing the ever-shifting battle conditions.
If Fang Yuan was barely managing to sustain both killer moves at once, his mental energy should have been depleted long ago, and he wouldn't still be putting up such a dominant performance.
"Could it be that he's made a breakthrough in sustaining his killer moves?" Feng Jiuge speculated inwardly.
Just then, Fang Yuan's figure briefly faltered.
Feng Jiuge had been monitoring Fang Yuan's movements closely, and seeing this, his heart leapt with joy. "Could it be that he's finally reached his limit?"
But in the very next moment, Feng Jiuge cast that notion aside entirely.
Because Fang Yuan had activated the Immortal killer move—Ten Thousand Flood Dragons!
In an instant, flood dragons soared in unison, ten thousand scales converging into a vast silver ocean, its momentum majestic and overwhelming—enough to strike terror into one's very soul.
A scenario strikingly similar to their previous clash unfolded once again.
The Ten Thousand Flood Dragons surged forward, enveloping the four great tune servants in a tight, relentless encirclement.
The four great tune servants couldn't withstand the onslaught and were destroyed one after another.
Feng Jiuge paid them no heed, instead activating One Tune of Yang Pass to temporarily escape the range of the rampaging Ten Thousand Flood Dragons.
The time limit of One Tune of Yang Pass hadn't yet expired, leaving Feng Jiuge room to maneuver with ease.
"And what about this move?" He gazed at the swarm of flood dragons—Fang Yuan had already blended in among them, impossible to distinguish.
Then, Feng Jiuge slowly extended his right hand and placed it over his heart on the left side of his chest. His five fingers began tapping up and down rhythmically—each time a fingertip struck his chest, it produced a drumbeat, sometimes sharp and piercing, sometimes deep and resonant.
Thump, thump, thump...
The drumbeats sounded one after another, rapidly spreading across the entire battlefield.
Feng Jiuge didn't need to figure out which of the many flood dragons was Fang Yuan's true body. This Immortal killer move was inherently an area-of-effect technique with vast coverage.
Fang Yuan's true body, caught within the radius, was immediately affected—he felt his heart begin to flutter erratically, its previously steady rhythm thrown into disarray.
Fang Yuan was startled.
After all, he was still shielded by the Reverse Flow Body Guard Seal, yet it hadn't been able to defend against this Immortal killer move.
