Chapter 127: Comprehensive Domination

Qin Chuan had guessed correctly: the Five-Colored Spirit was preparing to unleash its skills, and a dazzling, complex combination at that. The Five-Colored Spirit held the Dragon Tooth Blade horizontally, then suddenly released its grip, sending the blade flying toward Qin Chuan like a shooting star.

"Deadly Flying Blade!"
"Dragon Tooth Protection!"

In that moment, the Dragon Tooth Blade triggered two skills in succession, clearly determined to secure a hit. After being released from the Five-Colored Spirit's hand, the blade's durability had dropped back to over 1,200. Activating "Dragon Tooth Protection" was a tactical move to fortify its own body. Within the three-second duration, its durability surged to over 1,740.

In this situation, Qin Chuan seemed to have only three choices: dodge, blink, or clash. However, a more powerful opponent, the Five-Colored Spirit, loomed behind the blade. Qin Chuan had to remain vigilant against the creature’s crowd-control abilities; one slip-up and he would be defeated instantly. Simultaneously, the moment the Dragon Tooth Blade left its hand, the Five-Colored Spirit had bared its own sharp blades, waiting for Qin Chuan’s next reaction. No matter how Qin Chuan responded, its control skill, "Phantom Frenzy," was already primed and ready.

Blinking seemed like the optimal choice, as it would allow him to evade the locked-on trajectory of the Dragon Tooth Blade while baiting out the Five-Colored Spirit's control skill. Yet, Qin Chuan chose a daring path: he opted to clash head-on with the Dragon Tooth Blade.

"Protective Dragon Aura!"

As he adjusted the tip of his sword, both Zizi and Sleepybug were left speechless in shock, while a flicker of delight crossed the eyes of the Five-Colored Spirit. Regardless of the outcome of the clash, Qin Chuan would undoubtedly be struck by "Phantom Frenzy." Without hesitation, the Five-Colored Spirit released its skill. A gleam of light flashed in its eyes as it extended a finger and roared, "Phantom Frenzy!" The gesture was imposing, as if it were performing a divine decree of fate.

At that moment, it seemed Qin Chuan’s fate of being incapacitated by the phantom attack was sealed. However, the reality defied everyone’s imagination. Having gauged the approximate sharpness of the Dragon Tooth Blade while enduring its previous attacks, Qin Chuan was confident he could collide with it without taking damage. As for breaking the Five-Colored Spirit's control skill, he had already devised a plan.

In this dire moment, Qin Chuan’s consciousness flared with brilliance, and he shouted, "Intimidate!"

The sudden burst of aura caused both the Five-Colored Spirit and the Dragon Tooth Blade to falter simultaneously. Although "Intimidate" could not interrupt a skill, it was enough to delay the Five-Colored Spirit’s execution of "Phantom Frenzy."

"Come on! Time for the spicy snack I’ve been saving!"

On the way here, Qin Chuan had been cautious, hoarding his rage points. His confidence was backed by his strength. The next instant, the Dragon-Pattern Cold Jade Sword collided violently with the Dragon Tooth Blade.

"Ding! Critical hit triggered, damage increased by 150%, and knockback effect applied."
"Ding! 40% slow effect triggered."

"Ah!"
"Crack!"

A single clash left a massive fissure across the body of the Dragon Tooth Blade; it was effectively on its last legs. Qin Chuan’s critical sharpness reached over 2,790, while the blade’s durability plummeted to 1,650.

"This... this is impossible!" Both the Five-Colored Spirit and the Dragon Tooth Blade were stunned into confusion. Even as an orange-grade spirit weapon, a level 28 Dragon-Pattern Cold Jade Sword should not have been capable of such devastating damage. Yet, no matter how much they refused to believe it, the facts remained. Qin Chuan had brutally crippled the Dragon Tooth Blade in a single strike.

This unexpected turn of events completely disrupted the Five-Colored Spirit’s rhythm and strategy. While sent flying, the Dragon Tooth Blade was in such agony it felt as if its spirit core might shatter, yet it still unleashed its ultimate move: "Dragon Blade’s Sigh." A fire dragon lunged toward Qin Chuan, but the dragon patterns on his sword suddenly ignited, directly consuming the fire dragon.

"Presumptuous!"

A majestic voice resonated, sounding like a god looking down upon the world. The situation left the Dragon Tooth Blade terrified. It shrieked, "Impossible! My ultimate move was devoured? Are you the Dragon God?!"

Simultaneously, the Five-Colored Spirit's "Phantom Frenzy" took effect.

"Blink!"

Qin Chuan reacted with lightning speed, blinking forward and narrowly evading the control skill. "Damn, Brother Dragon-Pattern, are you actually the Dragon God?" Unfortunately, Brother Dragon-Pattern remained silent, leaving Qin Chuan speechless.

Speechless or not, Qin Chuan did not slow down; he unleashed a flurry of attacks on the Dragon Tooth Blade. The Five-Colored Spirit was left in a state of utter shock, unable to comprehend how its foolproof control skill had missed. In less than a second, the battlefield had undergone a complete reversal.

This shift was developing in a direction highly favorable to Qin Chuan.

"Damn! Big Brother is still so sharp. Even facing two powerful enemies, he handles them with ease and holds the upper hand!" Seeing the situation, Sleepybug couldn't help but curse, as it was the only way to express his excitement. Zizi added with relief and thrill, "Chuan, you are truly amazing. You’ve refreshed my image of you once again."

At this point, the Dragon Tooth Blade was in extreme danger, its cracks beyond repair. Perhaps the next strike would be its end. However, it was not that simple; the Five-Colored Spirit roared in fury and unleashed two more skills.

"Five-Colored Toxic Miasma!"
"Phantom Whirlwind!"

The rising toxic mist obscured vision, and two phantom blades launched by the Five-Colored Spirit struck toward Qin Chuan. It was clear the Five-Colored Spirit was attempting to force Qin Chuan into a defensive position to save the Dragon Tooth Blade.

The battle had reached a peak, with Qin Chuan seizing the initiative with a display of brilliant skill. Amidst the toxic fog, a flash of fire appeared as Qin Chuan struck the fleeing Dragon Tooth Blade with his sword.

"No! Five-Colored, save me!"
"Ah!"

"Ding! Killed level 30 Dragon Tooth Blade, gained 1,000,000 experience points. Bonus 100% experience for cross-level kill, congratulations to the Host for gaining 2,000,000 experience points."
"Ding! Slaughter triggered, sharpness increased by 15%, speed by 5%, and all attributes of enemies within thirty meters reduced by 15%."

The scream was enough to make the Five-Colored Spirit faint; it knew that the Dragon Tooth Blade, its companion for countless years, was gone. It could not fathom how Qin Chuan had resisted its skills. Its eyes bloodshot, it roared, "You bastard, I will tear you to pieces!"

The Five-Colored Spirit charged at Qin Chuan, but suddenly noticed its own status bars plummeting.

"Chirp!"

A flash of fire appeared before its eyes as the Dragon-Pattern Cold Jade Sword lunged forward. Qin Chuan was protected by his immunity, the three-second Protective Dragon Aura, the Intimidate effect, and the terrifying Slaughter buff. His status was now crushing the Five-Colored Spirit in every aspect.

As it turned out, solo duels were not Qin Chuan’s greatest strength; group battles were his specialty. For in this moment, Qin Chuan was at his most terrifying.
