Mom, I'm a dragon slayer!

As the saying goes, when masters clash, they can discern the big picture from small details.

These eight characters describe the clash between martial arts masters. In just a few rounds of probing, the moment their palms touch and their eyes meet, they can immediately discern each other's strengths and weaknesses.

True masters never linger in battle; the outcome is decided in the blink of an eye.

The same applies to the world of beast taming.

Xue Youyou and Long Xi are both undoubtedly experts.

Although the initial clash between the Divine Era Snow Maiden and the Evil Moon Immortal Wanderer appeared to the Lan Zhi Academy members as nothing more than a brief, lightning-fast test, Xue Youyou and Long Xi had already mentally rehearsed the battle for dozens of rounds.

This includes the opponent's pet's possible skills, all possible variations, and every possible way to deal with it...

Such high-dimensional thinking, far exceeding the capabilities of ordinary beast tamers—

They couldn't actually figure it out either.

But there's one thing that everyone can see—

Only the fully evolved form of the Goddess of the Snow Woman has stats that are even higher than the ultimate form of the Evil Moon Immortal!

The current situation can be summarized in three sentences:

Long Xi felt he was going to lose.

Xue Youyou knew that Long Xi felt he was about to lose.

Long Xi knew that Xue Youyou knew she felt she was about to lose.

This is a suffocating, unspoken understanding that only masters possess.

"Kukuku~"

Xue Youyou raised her hand to cover her lips, letting out a wicked and unrestrained laugh: "Even if you beg for mercy now, it won't do you any good~"

The moonlight shone on her excessively delicate face, outlining a wicked yet arrogant curve, like that of a little devil.

She's determined to cut off the head of Nieyue Juexianyou today, using his ultimate blood as a sacrifice, to fuel the mythical journey of the Divine Snow Woman.

The reason she deliberately insulted Long Xi was because she was worried that Long Xi would turn around and run away if things went wrong. Given Nie Yue Jue Xian You's speed, if Long Xi was determined to run away, Shen Dai Xue Nu really couldn't stop her.

Therefore, Xue Youyou wanted to provoke her and use the most scathing taunts to keep Long Xi rooted to the spot.

She wanted to make this proud ultimate beast tamer, the New Moon Saintess of the Moon Worship Cult, willingly stay and die.

And what happened next was exactly as Xue Youyou had predicted.

Upon hearing this, Long Xi's temples throbbed, and he flew into a rage.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated"—this is a creed etched into the very bones of almost every ultimate beast tamer.

Long Xi had dominated half her life, but losing to the Moon Mother was a lifelong disgrace.

Now that she has achieved the ultimate reputation for a long time, if she is frightened into fleeing in panic by Xue Youyou, who is not even an ultimate beast tamer, with just a few words, how will she survive in the martial arts world in the future?

Rage consumed her last shred of reason, leading her to gamble her life, death, and dignity on a final move.

"The Cursed Moon's Absolute Immortal Journey!"

Long Xi's voice was deep and resolute, each word seemingly spat out from between his teeth: "Use the Six-Winged Reincarnation Blade - Moon Shadow Instant Hell Slash!"

[Legendary Ultimate Technique: Six-Winged Revolving Blade] + [Orange Skill: Moon Shadow Instantaneous Slash]

This is the ultimate killing move that Nieyue Juexianyou has been holding back!

The Six-Winged Reincarnation Blade is a legendary technique renowned for its unparalleled cutting power. With its enhancement, the Moon Shadow Instant Hell Slash can unleash six consecutive Shadow Hell Slashes, each carrying the cold sharpness of a new moon and the annihilating power of reincarnation.

Six slashes were unleashed simultaneously, capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Looking back on Long Xi's entire career, she can confidently say that no beast tamer has ever been able to withstand this move head-on.

He did lose to the Moon Mother back then, but that was before she mastered this killer move.

Since that defeat, she has trained day and night, going through several life-or-death battles, and finally advanced to the ultimate Beast Tamer, learning this move.

She had sworn an oath to Nieyue Juexianyou.

I will only lose once in my life, and I will never lose a second time!

"roar--!"

Sensing the intense fighting spirit of his beast tamer, Nieyue Juexianyou couldn't help but let out a passionate dragon roar.

At this moment, the thoughts of the person and the pet are united, and all the hardships they have endured along the way will become fuel to support their progress!

This is proof of their bond!

This is their all-out effort!

We absolutely must win!

We will definitely win!

Nie Yue Jue Xian You's body suddenly twisted in the air, like a high-speed spinning top.

Six dragon wings suddenly unfurled, their edges gleaming with a chilling light, transforming into six sharp, gleaming blades under the moonlight. The wing blades tore through the air, emitting a sharp, piercing metallic shriek, like the Grim Reaper sharpening his scythe to reap souls.

The king descended from the sky, his face contorted with rage and ferocity!

Even before the attack actually landed, the pressure emanating from the skill's pre-cast phase was enough for Xue Youyou to detect a hint of danger.

This move is indeed capable of threatening the Yuki-onna.

Xue Youyou's smile faded slightly. She knew that Long Xi was fighting desperately; he had staked all his dignity and beliefs on this one strike.

When facing the ultimate beast tamer's all-consuming, deadly attack, any underestimation could be the prelude to disaster.

She may be arrogant, but she is not stupid.

"Guanghan Zhan, it's your turn to step up."

A massive, snow-white sword appeared beside the Snow Woman of the Divine Era.

To match the size of the Snow Woman of the Goddess of the Moon, Guanghan Slash extended itself to 350 meters in length. Of course, this consumed the Snow Woman of the Goddess of the Moon's essence, as its own essence could not support this size.

Xue Youyou's lips curled into a smile again: "Today I'll show you what the sword skills of a divine beast are like."

"Nine Chapters of Taiyin!"

The orange skill, Taiyin Jiuzhang, is a divine beast-exclusive skill for Guanghan Zhan.

Taiyin Nine Chapters: Unleashes nine consecutive moonlight slashes at the enemy. If all nine slashes hit the target, a moon explosion will be triggered. At the same time, the target will be put into a "sealed" state for nine seconds. Enemies in the sealed state cannot use skills or ultimate moves.

In actual combat, this was the first time Xue Youyou had used it.

At this moment, she will use the body of the goddess Yuki-onna and the blade of the Guanghan Slash to unleash this move while both sides share all talents, skills and ultimate techniques in the Snow Dye state.

How powerful will this sword strike be?

She couldn't imagine it.

But she'll find out soon enough.

[Heavyweight Contender] + [Frosty Heart Sword Spine] + [Taiyin Cleansing Edge] + [Moonlight Penetration] + [Osmanthus Fragrance]

The five-fold bonus effect is stacked on top of each other.

Then, it is—

【Nine Chapters of Taiyin】

The goddess of snow raised her sword and swung it down.

The movements appear slow, but are actually so fast that they cannot be caught by sight.

With a single sword strike, Nie Yue Jue Xian You's Six Moon Shadow Instant Prison Slashes, unleashed with all his might, were completely swallowed up. With the double armor-piercing enhancement of moonlight penetration and Gui Po Tian Xiang, this sword strike tore through all of Nie Yue Jue Xian You's defenses without any hindrance.

Where the sword flashed, the six dragon wings were severed at the root, the cuts as smooth as a mirror, not even having time for blood to flow.

However, this was only the first sword strike of the Nine Chapters of Taiyin.

The second sword strike severed the dragon's head. Even now, hot breath still escaped from between the dragon's ferocious, layered teeth, and its eyes held the last vestiges of resentment and shock.

The third sword strike sliced ​​the dragon in half horizontally. The dragon's body broke in the middle, and the two severed pieces swayed slightly due to inertia, yet strangely did not fall.

The fourth sword, the fifth sword, the sixth sword...

The Snow Maiden of the Gods unleashed sword strike after sword strike, each one landing precisely on the body of the Evil Moon Immortal. The Moonlight Slash, nearly penetrating a hundred times, silently pierced the dragon's body, leaving sword marks so subtle they were barely visible even under a microscope.

Even after the ninth sword strike was completed, the Goddess of the Snow Woman sheathed her sword and stood still, while the Evil Moon Immortal remained suspended in the air, motionless.

From the outside, the dragon's body appeared to be intact.

In reality, its body had been cut into countless pieces. If you were to break it apart, you would find that it was a perfect ingredient that could be used directly to cook dragon soup.

A moment of silence.

Then, all nine sword marks lit up simultaneously.

Moonlight burst forth from within Nie Yue Jue Xian You's body, like a miniature moon exploding within him.

Then came the second, the third... nine beams of moonlight erupted simultaneously, piercing through the dragon's body and illuminating every piece of flesh until it was transparent.

Boom boom boom—!

Nine swords unite as one, and the moon explodes forth.

Terrifying energy exploded within Nie Yue Jue Xian You's body. There were no screams, no struggles. At this moment, the Ultimate Nie Yue Jue Xian You's body completely disintegrated into the smallest fragments.

Dragon blood, dragon bones, and dragon scales scattered in all directions like flowers falling from the sky, reflecting an eerie and poignant glow under the moonlight.

Ultimate Form: The Immortal Journey of the Cursed Moon

Fallen!

That night, an unknown rain of blood fell in a part of Xiyuan City beneath their feet.

Raindrops fell on the eaves, on the streets, and on the windowsills of those still asleep, carrying a faint, lingering warmth belonging to the ultimate beings.
