The Wandering Immortal

Chapter 74 The mantis stalks the cicada
After Liu Caiwei consolidated her cultivation level, the number of people sparring with her on the outskirts of the island each day increased to four.

Besides the daily lessons, sparring is the best way to improve your spells. Discovering your weaknesses in battle and making targeted adjustments is naturally more efficient.

Two months later, the level seven tiger shark king finally returned. It had devoured more than a dozen large and small monsters here and had already made this place a feng shui treasure land.

Jiang Yuan had planned this all along, setting up four array traps in the shallow waters within the island.

Cui Qinghe and Liu Caiwei escaped from the Spirit Gathering Array from behind and launched a surprise attack from behind the Tiger Shark King. Shen Wangzhi opened the Spirit Gathering Array in time, driving the Tiger Shark King into the array and trapping it inside.

During the battle, if the Tiger Shark King escapes into any of the array traps, it will surely die.

Even if it doesn't fall for the trick, it can't escape from the spirit-gathering formation, and there will eventually be a way to wear it down.

Halfway through the plan, an unexpected incident occurred. Fortunately, Cui Qinghe and Liu Caiwei had not yet circled behind the tiger shark when a level seven dragon suddenly appeared there.

Tiger sharks and dragons fought, causing towering waves hundreds of feet high to rise in the sea, and even the spirit-gathering array could feel the violent tremors.

Because of the barrier of the great formation, communication between the inside and outside was impossible. Cui Qinghe and the other person quickly saw the dragon and retreated to avoid being drawn into the battle.

Shen Wangzhi saw that it was a level seven flood dragon and felt it was quite troublesome.

Jiang Yuan, however, believed that the opportunity should not be missed. He waited until the dragon and the tiger shark were both severely injured before proceeding with the original plan.

There's only one thing we absolutely must not let the dragon swallow the tiger shark's demon core. If it does, the four of us will definitely be no match for it.

Shen Wangzhi gasped. Snatching food from a dragon's mouth was no easy task.

Liu Caiwei was at a loss. After all, it was difficult for the four of them to kill a level seven tiger shark. What would they do if a dragon came along?
Cui Qinghe knew that Jiang Yuan must have a solution, and that the fight between the two demonic beasts would not end anytime soon, so she circled back to the back of the Spirit Gathering Array and went inside to discuss countermeasures again.

Jiang Yuan had naturally calculated that tiger sharks were no match for dragons. The water here was not deep, and once the dragons had their eyes on them, the tiger sharks would have nowhere to escape and would have no choice but to fight to the death.

Even a dragon would have to pay a price to defeat a level seven tiger shark. Even if it doesn't suffer serious injuries, it will still consume a lot of magic power and physical strength. That's when the opportunity will come.

About an hour later, the tiger shark was clearly at a disadvantage, its body covered in wounds from the dragon's bites.

At this point, neither the tiger shark nor the dragon used magic; they relied solely on the beasts' powerful bodies to fight.

It would be almost impossible for a tiger shark to bite a dragon, since the dragon was obviously capable of flying. The tiger shark could only leap out of the water to a height of about two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) before ultimately falling back into the water.

Jiang Yuan had already secretly lurked at the edge of the Spirit Gathering Array, waiting for an opportunity.

Knowing it couldn't win or escape, the tiger shark released its demon core, seemingly intending to self-destruct it, determined not to let the dragon benefit from it.

Seeing that there was no time to snatch it, and that the explosion of the demon core would also injure him, the dragon turned and ran.

Jiang Yuan was shocked. If the tiger shark demon core really exploded, it would be a complete disaster.

At Jiang Yuan's signal, Shen Wangzhi immediately withdrew the Spirit Gathering Array.

At this time, Jiang Yuan was still ten miles away from the tiger shark. Trying to snatch the demon core that was self-destructing was like a moth flying into a flame.

Qinghe was taken aback, but Jiang Yuan had already been launched. She had never seen him move so fast. Helpless, she could only take out the Green Fox Bow to guard against the dragon turning back and attacking.

The sea surface that Jiang Yuan flew over was instantly frozen, and in the blink of an eye, the freezing speed far exceeded Jiang Yuan's escape speed.

The Tiger Shark King was just emerging from the water, its demon core appearing three feet above its head, radiating brilliant light.

Tiger Shark King's body was suddenly frozen in ice. The Emei Dagger shot into Tiger Shark's large eye on one side, and at the same time, a ball of ice crystal wrapped around the demon core and sent it flying more than half a mile away.

The dragon noticed something amiss. The surrounding environment had drastically changed; a large island suddenly appeared, and a person flew out and snatched the tiger shark's demon core.

The dragon was furious, "Shameless human!" Cui Qinghe shuddered in fright, for the dragon had actually spoken human language.

Jiang Yuan released the frozen demon core because he was afraid that if he was a step too late, the demon core would explode and at least be far away from him. At that moment, he naturally did not dare to rush forward, but instead drew an arc to bypass the Tiger Shark King's body.

Once the demon core is freed from the control of the tiger shark's soul, it will naturally be unable to self-destruct. However, Jiang Yuan wanted to fly another mile to snatch the demon core.

A ball of light condensed in the dragon's mouth, aimed at Jiang Yuan and the tiger shark demon core. If that ball were to be spat out, Jiang Yuan would surely be doomed.

The Azure Fox Bow was unleashed, with only five arrows, yet it had already enveloped the dragon. If the dragon were to attack Jiang Yuan, it would inevitably suffer severe damage.

At the critical moment, the dragon turned its head and sprayed a ball of light towards Cui Qinghe, instantly shattering the five invisible arrows.

Liu Caiwei made her move, raising a water wall two zhang high and one zhang thick, blocking Cui Qinghe's way.

The dragon-shaped sphere of light shot onto the water wall, creating a wave a mile high.

Liu Caiwei was overjoyed, finally managing to defend against that attack.

Shen Wangzhi's flying sword had already been unleashed, heading straight for the dragon's head, not giving it another chance to unleash its innate divine power.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yuan had already snatched the demon core, put it into his storage bag, and flew into the spirit gathering array.

Even if we can't defeat the dragon now, it's not a loss to let it go.

If the dragon persists and chases you into the spirit-gathering array, then you'll have no choice but to take it in.

As Jiang Yuan swept past Shen Wangzhi, he let out a whoosh and threw an ice crystal towards the direction of the dragon.

Shen Wangzhi understood his meaning, and called Cui Qinghe and Liu Caiwei to retreat. The four of them fled towards the main island.

At this moment, the dragon was consumed by anger and fought with the tiger shark king for two hours, but the shameless villain stole its demon core and it plunged into the range of the spirit gathering array.

Shen Wangzhi immediately activated the great formation during his escape, and the situation of closing the door and beating the dog was already formed.

Jiang Yuan transmitted his voice, "Don't confront it head-on, scatter and disperse."

They all understood his meaning and fled to the four hidden traps.

No matter which one the dragon pursues, it will inevitably be trapped in the trap.

The dragon had already set its sights on Jiang Yuan, and seeing that he had stolen the demon core, it was bound to hate him. Little did it know that it had already fallen into a trap.

Jiang Yuan knew that the dragon would definitely fight him to the death, so he deliberately slowed down and occasionally threw an ice crystal to provoke it.

Seeing the dragon condense a ball of light in its mouth, Jiang Yuan finally used the trump card he had been cultivating for some time. He struck the dragon's head with a bolt of lightning, forcefully interrupting the dragon's innate divine power.

This dragon is very powerful. If it sprays its energy onto the Bagua formation wall, it may damage the spirit-gathering formation. We need to lure it out of the Bagua wall area.

The dragon's supernatural powers were interrupted, which enraged it even more. It leaped up and charged straight at the source of the river.

Jiang Yuan remained calm and composed, taking one step at a time and looking back, until he lured the dragon out of the divination wall area before suddenly accelerating his escape.

The dragon thought he was going to run away, so it immediately took off and chased after him. It chased him for more than ten breaths before crashing into the light screen and realizing that it had run into a trap.

Jiang Yuan turned around and looked at the dragon with a relaxed expression. "Thank you for the gift!"
