Kane’s words sent chills down Lin Yuan’s spine.

“Giant Crag Dragon? That’s a powered-up version of the Crag Dragon. Its defense is stronger, its body is larger, and its temperament is far more volatile.”

“If such a behemoth were to attack, Jasper City would be utterly destroyed!”

Lin Yuan turned to Lu Yu, desperation in his eyes. “Lu Yu, I… I need your help again.”

Lu Yu stood rooted, his silence heavy.

Lin Yuan’s gaze darted towards Zhao Qingya, pleading for her intervention. “Mayor Zhao, you can’t just stand by and watch us die! Hundreds of thousands of people live in Jasper City, their lives at stake. We can’t let them perish here!”

“We haven’t confirmed his claims yet,” Zhao Qingya countered, her voice laced with impatience. “Why are you so panicked?”

“True, but if he’s telling the truth and we neglect it, wouldn’t we be responsible for a disaster?” Lin Yuan pressed, his voice trembling.

Zhao Qingya sighed, defeated. “Lu Yu, help us one last time. Once this final enemy is dealt with, everything will be over. We can finally head to the capital.”

“No problem, let’s do it. But I want that staff.” Lu Yu stated, his gaze fixed on Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment. “Of course, you can take it. It means nothing to me compared to the safety of Jasper City.”

Lu Yu smiled. “That’s all I needed to hear. I’ll help you, but the staff stays with me.”

He strode towards the exit, his purpose clear.

“If there truly is a Giant Crag Dragon attacking, I’ll handle it and return. Continue interrogating this man. I’ll be leaving first.”

With a final wave at Zhao Qingya, Lu Yu descended to the ground.

Spreading his dragon wings, he soared into the sky, swiftly leaving the city behind.

Swoosh!

He shot forward, the densely packed city buildings giving way to open plains. Soon, tremors reached him.

A vast expanse of gra.s.sland unfolded before him, a swirling sandstorm rising on the distant horizon. The wind howled, whipping up sand and dust that obscured the sky, forming a colossal, surging wave.

This monstrous dust cloud resembled a raging yellow dragon, sweeping forward with an aura of immense power.

As the sandstorm approached, the once tranquil gra.s.sland was engulfed in darkness. Dust filled the air, blotting out the sun, as if the entire world was drowning in an endless sea of sand and dust.

Amidst the chaos, the faint outline of a colossal creature emerged. It resembled a moving mountain, its immense size inspiring awe.

Lu Yu soared through the sky, his gaze fixed on the land below. Scattered villages were visible, their inhabitants fleeing in a desperate frenzy.

Their only hope was Jasper City, a haven of safety. Yet, compared to the colossal beast before him, the city seemed fragile.

The city walls would undoubtedly crumble under a single charge from this behemoth. Its destruction was inevitable.

If left unchecked, the Giant Crag Dragon would lay waste to everything in its path. Buildings, order, and lives—all would vanish in the ensuing devastation.

Lu Yu drew his Star Piercing Demonic Sword. A current of air danced around its blade, sharp sword energy already gathering.

With a powerful swing, he unleashed a sword aura towards the Giant Crag Dragon.

Swoosh!

The Star-Piercing Demonic Sword’s attack cut through the air, the sharp sword energy striking with deadly precision.

Bang!

The sword aura exploded against the Giant Crag Dragon’s head armor, the force of the impact echoing through the air.

The dust billowed, revealing the Giant Crag Dragon’s head. Lu Yu saw with a sinking feeling that the sword energy hadn’t inflicted any significant damage. Only a few hairline cracks marred its head armor, insignificant compared to the behemoth’s size.

Lu Yu inhaled deeply. This beast was no pushover.

Taking down this colossal creature wouldn’t be easy, but Lu Yu still held the advantage.

Its c.u.mbersome size and sluggishness rendered it incapable of attacking him directly. Its destructive potential was limited to immobile targets like Jasper City, lacking the speed to pose a threat to him.

Therefore, eliminating the Giant Crag Dragon before it reached the city wasn’t an issue. The real challenge lay in its immense size and formidable defense.

He opted to bring out the Void Evil Blade. With the combined might of these two divine artifacts, Lu Yu was confident in breaching its defenses.

With a flourish of his Star Piercing Demonic Sword, he ripped open a portal in the air, connecting it to the vast unknown.

A sudden eruption of flame shot forth, a fiery torrent over a hundred meters long, plummeting towards the Giant Crag Dragon below.

Sensing the scorching heat, the Giant Crag Dragon shook its head, attempting to dodge. However, it seemed to realize the futility of its attempt and resigned itself to continuing its lumbering advance.

Seeing this, Lu Yu wasted no time in wielding the Void Evil Blade.

Swoosh!

A dark purple rift materialized, and from it emerged the Void Serpent, summoned from the Void World.

The colossal serpent surged from the spatial tear, its gaping maw filled with menacing spikes as it lunged towards the Giant Crag Dragon.

It clamped its jaws onto the Crag Dragon’s neck, its sharp teeth sinking into the exposed flesh. However, the fine scales embedded themselves firmly into the serpent’s teeth, preventing them from penetrating further, let alone inflicting any real damage.

Undeterred, the Void Serpent constricted its thick body around the Giant Crag Dragon, gradually tightening its grip. The immense pressure caused cracks to spiderweb across the dragon’s armor.

The Giant Crag Dragon roared in pain, a sound that shook the very earth and sent all nearby creatures fleeing in terror.

Lu Yu surveyed the scene. While defeating the creature remained a daunting task, the Void Serpent’s intervention had successfully impeded its progress.

He contemplated summoning his Death Spirit Dragon, as a single Undead Fire could pierce through armor and inflict devastating damage, potentially ending the battle swiftly.

“It’s still far from Jasper City,” Lu Yu rea.s.sured himself, acknowledging the time advantage. “No need to rush.”
