The Three-headed Dragon did not initially notice Fang Zhou and his companions. After flying out of the volcano, it hovered in the air, letting out a fierce roar, awakening countless monsters lurking underground.
It wasn't until Fang Zhou summoned a large number of golden sword shadows that the dragon's attention was drawn to them.
With a casual wave, the sword shadows fell like a torrential rain, golden lines forming a curtain covering the entire volcano.
The dragon's left head opened its mouth and spewed out viscous molten flames, sweeping left and right like a laser, engulfing and melting all the falling sword shadows.
More sword shadows continued to descend, dodging the flames, and crashed onto the dragon's body.
Its body was more solid than steel, leaving no marks even with the sword shadows striking against it.
This relentless attack only angered the dragon, its heads turning towards Fang Zhou, spewing thick molten fire.
Fang Zhou quickly dodged aside, maintaining the attack with the sword shadows.
Meanwhile, a large number of monsters had already crawled out from below the earth.
These monsters were varied in form, some armored, some with sharp claws, all grotesque and ugly, yet undeniably strong.
The monsters quickly converged into a swarm, moving like a dark tide along the hills and valleys toward the plaza.
Obviously, the enemies were not just the Three-headed Dragon but also included the mobs below.
All the cultivators along with Fang Zhou only numbered over seventy people, did such a large scale need to be deployed?
These countless monsters would be enough to attack any one of the major powers.
Fang Zhou could only guess this was a program pre-set by the Demon Suppression Saint; no matter how many people entered, it would trigger these monsters to awaken and attack.
At this moment, Fang Zhou was somewhat regretful; he had only learned two escape techniques from Qimen Dunjia, without learning Qimen itself.
Otherwise, he could have set up a Qimen array around the volcano, ensuring these monsters couldn't escape.
Below, there were still many monsters with wings, like beetles, flying up into the air, heading towards Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou could only divert half of the sword shadows to target the ground for a sweeping attack to slow down the advance of the monster tide.
One of the dragon's heads continuously chased Fang Zhou, spewing molten flame, forming an orange-red flame that sliced through the sky, creating scorching fire rain falling to the ground.
Fang Zhou flitted about like an agile bird, constantly evading.
Seeing the sword shadow's power insufficient, Fang Zhou directly summoned the Xuanyuan Sword, raising it high, a massive pillar of golden light attached to the sword, forming a towering beam.
Fang Zhou swung the Xuanyuan Sword forward, the pillar transformed into a golden torrent, rushing towards the Three-headed Dragon.
Sword Slash, the maximum output!
The dragon also spewed molten flame, but slightly weaker, scattered by the Sword Slash.
Its right head followed, spewing out another molten flame.
The two flames combined, countering the Sword Slash, fiercely burning and devouring the surging sword intent.
This was Fang Zhou's most powerful move after advancing to the Innate; now it was somewhat lacking in power.
Fang Zhou could only cancel the Sword Slash and summon Beichen, flying towards the dragon.
The upgraded substitute, even more concealed, could not be detected by anything below the Golden Core Realm.
The dragon did not notice Beichen approaching, continuously swinging its two heads, spraying molten flame everywhere, sweeping away all the incoming golden sword shadows.
Beichen flew above the dragon, aimed at the middle head not attacking, and delivered a heavy punch.
The strength of the substitute is directly proportional to the attributes of the body.
The stronger the physical body, the higher the strength of the substitute.
Fang Zhou's three-dimensional attributes each exceeded five hundred, giving the substitute an extremely terrifying boost; purely in terms of strength, it actually surpassed the body by far.
Before hitting the target, the substitute does not affect matter; otherwise, Beichen's punch would directly break the sound barrier.
The dragon was unaware of the approaching danger, happily spewing flames with its two heads.
The middle head suddenly stood alert, its spines shaking incessantly.
But by this time, awareness was already too late, directly hit by Beichen's punch.
Bang!
The terrifying power exploded on the middle head of the dragon, creating a ripple-like shock wave.
The spines on the head fractured layer by layer; the entire head seemed to be hammered, suddenly falling downward, dragging the enormous body along with it.
"Roar! Roar!"
The middle head was knocked out by Beichen's punch, but the remaining two heads roared competitively.
The immense body struggled, its wings flapping at a mismatched frequency, resulting in an inability to maintain balance and take flight again, directly falling towards the volcano.
It didn't fall into the crater, but onto the slope, crashing into the molten-lava-covered hillside, creating a huge pit without tumbling further down.
As the dust settled, the dragon lay on its back at the pit's bottom, the middle head down, the other two heads standing upright, and rebelling against each other.
Its massive body also struggled to rise but swayed left and right, its limbs, wings, and tail moving in opposite directions, unable to crawl back up.
Seeing the dragon in such an embarrassing state, Fang Zhou thought it might have had a split brain due to Beichen's punch.
But soon figured out the middle head is likely responsible for flight and movement control, while the other two heads are merely auxiliary.
With the middle head knocked out, the two side heads began fighting for control, refusing to cooperate with each other, resulting in a loss of balance, unable to perform even the simple act of getting up.
Fang Zhou did not expect this Three-headed Dragon to be so foolish, and he had initially been so prepared.
Now, with such a great opportunity, Fang Zhou would not miss it, Beichen received Fang Zhou's command and swiftly drew the swords on its back.
The swords were originally decorative, but after the substitute upgrade, finally usable, capable of striking out attacks like Space Slash.
Beichen wielded the swords with both hands, crossing them in a forward swing, the sharp blades slicing open space, forming two intersecting cross-shaped slashes.
These slashes, like the substitute, were intangible and effortlessly tore through space, creating irregular cracks similar to glass under pressure.
The cracks were clearly visible, accompanied by a cracking sound, quickly spreading towards the dragon on the volcano.
This mode of attack was somewhat different from Fang Zhou's expectations and too conspicuous, prone to enemy detection.
The dragon below indeed detected it, the two heads that were previously arguing now united against it, both opening their mouths to spew molten flames.
The flames collided with the spatial cracks and were sliced apart, shattering into irregular shapes.
The dragon's attack was powerless to resist, quickly disintegrated.
