Heavenly Dao Child

Chianyu looked towards a certain direction as he felt the ground shaking, while the air itself smelt like bloodl.u.s.t, and then a huge boom was heard as they felt their bone rattled.

"Oi oi what is going on there?"

Chianyu simply deadpanned at that as he replied back, "Really now I can bet my entire fortune it is Ryuu again."

The person simply snorted as he spoke, "That is sucker's bet of course he is, if there is any problem you will find him standing at his centre, he is like a trouble magnet."

"Do you think we should help him?"

Chianyu shook his head as he spoke, "You people seemed to have dulled your senses tell me the strength of the other combatant and tell me is it possible for us to deal with it."

A few of the squinted before their eyes widen in fear as one of them whispered in fear, "A celestial."

Chianyu nodded as he spoke, "Yes and for us who could not even handle a few fellow Mystic Immortals that is not possible not to mention we will only cause a problem for him, but I believe in him and I know he would win."

Ryuu dodged another strike as he struck with his sword which let out sparks and a loud screech as it hit the body of the creature.

'What hard feathers, harder than most metals, hard enough to even prevent me from chopping it off.'

His sword vibrated in his hand with dissatisfaction as Ryuu whispered back to it, "You are right partner, it is really annoying but we will deal with it."

His eyes then fell on his fellow companions as he frowned, 'It is not even acknowledging them, wholly focusing on me, while treating them as best as a minor inconvenience.'

He moved out of the way as True-Spear sent a spear attack that it casually batted it withstood as if it is nothing.

When all of sudden it soar high up in the sky, with a screech it let loose a hail of feathers, which rained upon them like arrows.

"Everyone dodged."

Hearing Amnon's shout most moved or tried to dodge only for the feathers to change direction towards Ryuu surrounding him completely before pelting him like heavy rain and then exploding with large booms, the explosion was so loud that even if they were a few distances away from them the shockwave seemed to push them away, and then after a few seconds, that explosion finally stopped.

"Ryuu!", Frost Flames could not help but cry out in fear, as did every one of them, while the bird looked smug as it puffed up with pride, but before the creature could react a figure suddenly appeared on top of it as it let loose his attack.

As multiple ethereal swords pelted upon the creature making it cry out in pain, as Ryuu drew blood for the first time.

Everyone gawked at him as he stood there with a scratch on him even after escaping the series of terrible explosions.

A horrible cry resounded in the area as the bird released a reddish miasma from its body making Ryuu's eyes widen as he shouted out, "Everyone please be wary the creature is going all out."

His words made the group stumble as Su-Min spoke with disbelief, "That thing will go all out now! It was not taking us seriously! What kind of thing is it?"

Zywia bit her lips as she spoke, "Whatever it is we have to be extremely careful, even a single mistake would be fatal."

Group nodded as they got ready only to be stopped by Ryuu who shouted back, "I appreciate your will to help, but if you cannot follow us then please do not try to help you will get caught and second please keep my true strength a secret."

He winked at his fellow cultivators with a smile on his face, 'Damn them I will have to use my true strength breaking one of the instructions my teacher gave me if only I could .', his inner monologue was cut off for a moment as he had a serious urge to bash his head, 'What kind of idiot am I? I could use various things to hide my strength without revealing much, no matter how close they have become the words of my teachers is absolute.'

He let go of his sword as he touched his thighs as multiple arrays appeared underneath his clothes, 'This will prevent my true level to be noticed, as well as an illusion would prevent others from noticing my Divine body as well, and for precaution.', he put on his mask hiding his true face beneath it.

The arrays had another purpose, which was even important than simply hiding his aura, it was to prevent it from being infected by the miasma that the creature had released, the reason it was called a 'Dragon Bane', was mainly because of the miasma, the miasma upon entering the Dragon's body wrought havoc inside its body thus causing it to not only loss of strength but even loss of consciousness in certain cases thus making the creature dangerous to it.

A loud screech was heard followed by a roar from Ryuu before both of them vanished from their spot, as multiple booms were heard around them.

"Too fast they are too fast, I can barely follow them."

Frost Flames looked towards Frozen Ocean from her kneeling position, apparently they pressure generated from the duo had forced the group on their knees, as she spoke with a worried look on her face, "You are right I wish I were strong enough to be by his side and help him fight."

Zywia bit her lips as she spoke, "Ryuu is on another level even compare to any of our compatriots, children of our family received the best of educations, the best of food, pills everything which makes us better than others by quite a lot, but even amongst us he is quite the monster."

A tensed silence descended amongst them when all of a sudden the bird was dragged through the lava while Ryuu held his head with his hand.

True-Spear raised his hand to block the spray of white-hot lava before he spoke with a grunt, "Let us move a bit further away from the two fighting titans, we are too close and because of our presence we might prove a hindrance to him."

The bird shook him off before sending her feather arrows towards Ryuu, jumped and dodge only for them to home towards him, chasing after him, as it neared him it once again exploded but this time it was even more dangerous than before.

The explosion was not the only thing that Ryuu had to look out for as with a cry the bird followed soon after, a loud ding was heard as a rather disoriented bird steeped out the cloud trying to catch its bearing.

Ryuu followed shortly after it, but he was too late as the bird had regained its bearing and seeing the gleaming sword it fired off its feathers again.

Ryuu sucked a deep breath as he cursed in his heart, 'How many? How many of those thrice-damned feathers does it have, and I have enough of this.'

The bird looked at Ryuu closely, once Ryuu might have used a bait and dodged, twice he used something to once again used to protect himself but the third time it swore to herself that she would find out the trick her food was using, and then it happened.

Meanwhile, over to the audience, Daniella bit her lips as she spoke with distress in her voice, "Just how many feathers does this creature has, too much it has too much and too many of them."

The bird looked intently as one of his feathers was about to hit Ryuu directly on his forehead his eyes narrowed only for them to open wide as the feather suddenly seemed to pass through him as if he was a mirage and then suddenly Ryuu vanished making it let out a squawk of surprise.

Ryuu had managed to make the feather phase out though him as he with great skill managed to directly appear behind his opponents back, the Nether Realm Bennu's feathers are very difficult to cut off, it requires skill and strength and Ryuu was slightly short of them to bring that idea into fruition.

But, that did not mean there was no other way one of them was the rear of the bird, being extremely soft and times like this was the only time it would be exposed as such he managed to aim for it and succeeded.

Though how much he wanted he knew his sword and spear would rebel if he were to bring them to any creatures rear as such replaced them with his bow, he pulled the ethereal string as hard as he could, he made sure for the Dao of Archery to completely coalesce with his KI before he let loose the arrow.

The bird suddenly felt the rising KI behind her but it was too late the arrow pierced through it rectum, gauging out its innards before exiting through its forehead delivering lethal damage to it.

Even with all the damage the creature still moved still tried to fight Ryuu, but ultimately failed as with a strike of his spear Ryuu pierced the exposed beating heart while his sword found the dantian of the bird thus killing it.

Ryuu glared at his prey as he watched it fall towards the ground only to be scooped by True-Spear.

"Ryuu are you alright?"

Hearing the worried tone in Frost Flame's voice made Ryuu wilt on the inside a bit but before he could reply he felt his bile rise and before long vomited a copious amount of blood, 'Damn it since the fight with those three thousand sc.u.m it seems that I might have aggravated my condition by a lot.'

He felt himself sway but was soon found himself in arms of Frost Flames, whose teary eyes made him wince, as he looked at her eyes he did something that stunned her, with a smile on his face spoke out loud, "Frost Flames after we leave this place would you be my Dao companion."
