Chapter 699: Chapter 697: A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire Chapter 699: Chapter 697: A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire “It’s called a duel, but it’s actually two against one, no, three against one.”

The Revenge Ancient Dragon Darimu and the Ancient Dragon of Freedom Saiban provided cover for Russell, while the Shadowflame Dragon fought shoulder to shoulder with Russell, and the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon transformed into a phantom, bestowing the powerful enhancement of Rule Power.

“Even three against one isn’t accurate; Polly, Hape, Uroboros, and Tepp are all boosting my strength too!”

Except for the Nightmare Beast Senbula, who remained in the Shadowflame Kingdom, all his contracted companions had arrived.

One could say.

It seemed like Russell was dueling the Frost Titan Scorpion Xin while riding the Shadowflame Dragon, but in reality, it was still Russell and his companions ganging up on Scorpion Xin.

Scorpion Xin, wielding the Snow Soul Blade, was very strong.

But Russell was equally powerful, and despite only using the Secret Technique: Sword of Fire to seek a breakthrough from his shackles, the battle was still fiercely contested.

Russell could even feel that the Snow Soul Power that came with the Snow Soul Blade, the essence of the Frost Snow Power, exerted a strong suppression on his Secret Technique: Sword of Fire and also greatly suppressed the power of the Shadowflame Dragon.

“This is the suppressive power of the Snowfield that freezes the Dragon Sleep Continent!” Russell deeply felt this suppressive force.

Both he and the Shadowflame Dragon were fighting and comprehending simultaneously.

A sparring opponent like the Frost Titan was rare and worthy of cherishment; he and the Shadowflame Dragon were reluctant to kill it immediately.

The battle was spectacular, with the Snow Soul Blade continuously slicing through space, and the light of the Sword of Fire reflecting in the sky. The powers of ice and fire collided at the Dragonspine Summit, shattering countless mountain tops and triggering avalanches.

All for understanding.

Russell even gave up the conceptual slash that Little Dream Dragon was boosting for him, focusing solely on the purest elemental fire to fight Scorpion Xin.

Gradually, the Snow Soul Blade and Scorpion Xin’s powerful strength began to gain the upper hand, pressing Russell in combat. However, Scorpion Xin’s expression did not relax; on the contrary, its eyes grew more ferocious, knowing it was being used as a sharpening stone.

But it couldn’t change the situation; it had to play along with Russell, exerting its full strength to bombard him, trying to seize a moment of Russell’s carelessness to kill him completely.

“As long as Russell Amber Dream is killed, all dangers to the Frost Star will end, and I, Scorpion Xin, am destined to replace the Eternal Seven Elders and become the ruler of the Eternal Frost Star! Russell Amber Dream must die!”

It gasped for breath, with Snow Soul Power leaking out like it cost nothing, and the Snow Soul Blade waved shadows in its wake.

The heavens and the earth split asunder!

This battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, but the scenery at the Dragonspine Summit was completely destroyed, with several peaks greatly sheared off, all of them shaved clean.

Suddenly.

As the Shadowflame Dragon’s wings grazed the scattering rocks, a chaotic force struck them, causing its body to involuntarily skew slightly.

This slight fault was quickly caught by Scorpion Xin, who without any hesitation, thrust the Snow Soul Blade from the engulfing snow mist, aiming directly for the belly of the Shadowflame Dragon—a sneak attack both swift and fierce.

The Shadowflame Dragon was already too late to react.

But Russell did react, and in a critical moment, he swung the energy sword in his hand, ready to rescue with the Sword of Fire.

However, Scorpion Xin seemed to have anticipated that Russell would do this.

The Snow Soul Blade took an unexpected twist, rising from the belly of the Shadowflame Dragon to strike directly at Russell’s neck.

Russell, in his elemental body, was not immortal; if struck in a vital spot, he would still sustain a wound on his true body.

The Secret Technique: Sword of Fire had already ascended, and it was powerless to change its move at this point.

Yet it was in this lightning-fast clash that Russell, who had never felt such pressure before, found an indescribable state amid the tension. His eyes watched the Snow Soul Blade drawing nearer, and a strange spark ignited in his soul.

The energy sword already in motion was forcibly pulled back by him.

The Sword of Fire had already cut through, the energy sword’s light dimming; even if he could retract it in time, it lacked the strength to fend off the stabbing of the Snow Soul Blade.

Scorpion Xin already wore a savage smile.

Heaven does not betray the diligent, and in a do-or-die situation, it finally found the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, even to completely kill Russell.

Once the Snow Soul Blade could strike Russell, it could strike him countless times.

But its smile lasted only 0.01 seconds. On the dim energy sword, as if a spark of starlight flickered, even such a simple flame sparked a chain reaction.

Boom!

The next moment.

From the dim energy sword surged flames more intense than before, which, under Russell’s guidance, converged into a fine line.

The fine line thrust out, instantly knocking the Snow Soul Blade away, and then transformed it into a sky of fire, directly engulfing Scorpion Xin.

The fire had not been extinguished by Scorpion Xin yet.

Russell’s energy sword continuously ascended more and more violent flames that turned into sword glows, incessantly charging at Scorpion Xin. The sweeping flames burned without a way to be extinguished.

Dozens of strikes, or perhaps hundreds.

Russell finally stopped swinging his sword, and at this moment, Scorpion Xin was burned to a crisp, completely falling among the rubble of Dragonspine Summit.

Dead beyond doubt.

“Huff!” Russell blew a breath at the dim energy sword, extinguishing the stray sparks on it.

Then alongside the Shadowflame Dragon, they dissolved their elemental armoring, revealing a smile that belonged solely to the victors: “A single spark can start a prairie fire… This time, I’ve finally grasped the Super Secret Technique: Burning Sword.”

He paused.

He lowered his head to inquire of the Shadowflame Dragon: “The path ahead… do you see it clearly now, Shadowflame?”

“Yes, I see it clearly. Shadowflame has fully understood the Rule Power I must grasp and where it begins,” the Shadowflame Dragon responded, raising its head. From this Sword of the Super Secret Technique: Burning Sword, it saw clearly the Rule Power it needed to master.

But before the man and dragon could dwell on the breaking of their shackles,

the Little Dream Dragon was already impatiently clamoring, “Hurry up and split the spoils of war; I’m starving!”

Russell chuckled.

He then summoned the Meteor Butterfly Sword, and executing the Flame Sword, he quickly divided the scorched Scorpion Xin into four equal parts.

“Ice Cream, Saiban, Darimu, and Shadowflame, one share for each dragon!” Russell said with a smile.

Even though Saiban and Darimu hadn’t exerted much effort, their presence here to oversee the situation was Russell’s greatest help. Without them, how could he have been so composed, using Scorpion Xin for practice?

“I did the most work!” the Little Dream Dragon muttered while sucking up its share.

Saiban and Darimu didn’t hold back either, each taking their portion.

Then the Shadowflame Dragon suddenly said, “Russell, give my share to Ice Cream.”

Russell was surprised.

Even the Little Dream Dragon, preparing to scatter and return to the Amber Dreamland, gawked and exclaimed in surprise.

Then the ephemeral eyes swept over the Shadowflame Dragon with confusion and muttered, “Has the Old Shadowflame Dragon gone mad?”

Afterward, it took the Shadowflame Dragon’s share in one gulp, laughing, “Who cares what the Old Shadowflame Dragon thinks, since it’s offered to me, I’ll take it. A gift refused is wasted!”

After swallowing it.

The ephemeral quickly shattered, fearing the Shadowflame Dragon might change its mind and take back this nourishing treasure.

Young Lord Darimu on top of the Revenge Ancient Dragon peered at Russell and then slowly dissipated, recongealing into the rib bracelet.

Russell donned the rib bracelet, and from the rubble, he picked up the Snow Soul Blade, a weapon forged by a Giant Troll, an energy weapon that could be large or small. However, Russell did not wield the Frost Snow Power or the Snow Soul Power; thus, he couldn’t control it.

He could only pick it up and lay it across the back of the Shadowflame Dragon, calling out, “Saiban, take us back.”
