Chapter 1371: Called You Out, Dare You Respond?

In the Saint 8-dan Void-Glimpse realm, one wields the power of a grotto-heaven. When their domain unfolds, it resembles a folded space that can cut off mental transmissions. Even tamed weapons cannot be contacted within it, and any attacks launched into it vanish as if a clay ox had entered the sea, losing all control.

If the Domain and Entering Void realms signify a preliminary understanding of space, then the Void-Glimpse realm has achieved complete mastery, possessing its own unique spatial power!

A single thought can spontaneously form a grotto-heaven!

The Spirit Void Sword's recent charged strike, despite its immense power capable of making even Entering Void realm experts momentarily retreat, proved utterly useless against a Void-Glimpse realm expert!

Buzz, buzz, buzz! The longsword vibrated incessantly, filled with trepidation. However, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't advance an inch, stuck like a nail hammered into a wall, completely immobilized.

"Ruthless Man, prepare to act!" Knowing that anxiety was useless at this moment, Zhang Xuan's mindset shifted, re-entering a state of calm. With a thought, he contacted the Ruthless Man within the book.

To be honest, Zhang Xuan preferred not to use the abilities of the Ruthless Man, his clone, or the Poison Master unless absolutely necessary. Once deployed, the opponent had to be eliminated; there was no other choice.

He had initially thought that the puppet and the Spirit Void Sword would be sufficient, but it now seemed that the assailant had surpassed the capabilities of these methods. He could only resort to his last trump card.

"Yes, Master!" Aware of the danger, the Ruthless Man responded. As Zhang Xuan's mind stirred, a finger abruptly appeared behind him.

Whoosh! With a gentle tap, a unique power spread out, and the grotto-heaven-like domain in front shattered instantly like a mirror.

Although the Ruthless Man was only at the peak of Saint 7-dan and would not easily defeat Luo Xuanqing, he was, after all, once a paramount figure who stood at the continent's apex, possessing keen insight and knowledge. Furthermore, the opponent had been continuously attacked by Zhang Xuan's various methods and was also suppressing the restless Spirit Void Sword, meaning their power was less than a tenth of its usual. They were caught completely off guard by a single move.

Crack! Crack! The grotto-heaven could not be maintained, and Zhang Xuan immediately felt the pressure on him ease. He quickly turned around.

He saw a massive dragon-shaped beast, over a meter thick and more than thirty meters long, hovering not far away. Its body was grayish-blue, its eyes crimson, radiating intense majesty.

"An Infernal Azure Dragon?" Zhang Xuan's fists clenched, and his heart sank.

He had previously thought that perhaps Luo Xuanqing and the others had been defeated, and Zhang Chun and his companions were attacking him. He never dreamed it would be the very Saint Beast he was looking for!

If it was here... then there was nothing in the cave, was there? No wonder Yuan Xiao hadn't come out for so long; he must have been delayed by searching the empty cave, unaware that the beast wasn't even inside!

A Saint Beast at Saint 8-dan... No wonder none of his various methods had worked. Against such a powerful expert, he truly had no ability to resist.

"To think of taming me, you have immense audacity..." With a cold snort, the Azure Dragon slowly spoke. Its voice was not loud, but it resonated in Zhang Xuan's mind like the striking of a bell and drum.

"Taming...? With my level of strength? You must be joking..." Zhang Xuan's face twitched as he quickly spoke, his heart filled with awe.

They had no intention of taming it; they merely wanted to divert disaster to others. Why would this huge beast say such a thing?

Saint Beasts are arrogant and extremely difficult to tame, which is why 8-star beast tamers hold such high status. Normally, taming requires preparing various gifts and finding ways to befriend the beast. Only after complete familiarity can one then invite it as a friend. Generally, an 8-star pinnacle beast tamer would take several years to tame a Saint Beast at Saint 8-dan!

At this moment, with nothing prepared, they had already been detected... It was supposed to be a simple lure: Yuan Xiao would draw its aggro, and Zhang Xuan would set up traps... How did it turn out like this?

Saint Beasts detest submitting to humans. If a stronger being forced it, being unable to resist would be one thing, but for an Exalted Mortal 9-dan peak expert to try... No wonder it was angry. It showed no mercy in its attack; if Zhang Xuan hadn't had so many tricks, he would probably be dead.

"Then what are you doing here? Someone has already told me that you want to tame me, make me a pet beast, and fight to the death for you humans!"

The Azure Dragon roared, its voice shaking dust loose from the surroundings.

"Someone told you?" Zhang Xuan froze, his pupils contracting.

"It must be that Zhang Chun..." He had just thought Zhang Chun was too foolish, so easily manipulated by Luo Xuanqing. Now, it seemed he and his group were the ones who had been played...

Zhang Chun must have found the Azure Dragon in advance and told it that someone wanted to tame it. This would first gain the beast's goodwill for Zhang Chun, and second, make it hostile towards Luo Xuanqing, eliminating any hope of taming it.

As expected of a Zhang clan genius, he was indeed no simple character. But... even if you wanted to find someone, why didn't you find Luo Xuanqing... Why me?

Feeling frustrated, Zhang Xuan quickly waved his hand. "It's not me who wants to tame you, but the one who told you about this, Zhang Chun, he's deliberately sowing discord..."

"Hmph, you humans are all bad!" Boom! Before Zhang Xuan could finish speaking, he felt a powerful force crushing down on him again. Immediately after, he saw the Azure Dragon's tail sweeping towards him.

Whoosh! The surrounding space solidified. He felt as if he had fallen into a folded space again, unable to escape.

"Flaws!" Knowing he couldn't rely on anyone else at this moment, he stared intently at the opponent and quickly shouted in his mind.

A book appeared, and countless pieces of knowledge flowed into his mind.

"It's a Saint Beast, and it cultivates alone, so its comprehension of Void-Glimpse isn't too strong..." After reading the contents of the book, Zhang Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this creature was a Saint Beast at Saint 8-dan, with terrifying combat power, it also had significant flaws!

Namely, it cultivated alone and hadn't received systematic cultivation methods. Its attack methods and comprehension of Void-Glimpse were somewhat simplistic.

"Ruthless Man..." Knowing this, he sent these flaws to the Ruthless Man with a thought.

The Ruthless Man's finger bone gently swayed, as if traversing space, and the next moment, it appeared at the opponent's side.

Another tap! Crack! The Infernal Azure Dragon's grotto-heaven-like power dissipated once more.

"Hmm?" It never expected an Exalted Mortal 9-dan peak expert to break its attacks twice in a row. Confusion appeared in the Infernal Azure Dragon's massive eyes.

Although it dominated this valley, with no Saint Beast daring to provoke it, it had too little contact with humans. It never expected to encounter a freak who could see through its flaws in the blink of an eye.

With the grotto-heaven destroyed, Zhang Xuan's body relaxed. Knowing he couldn't stay too close, he activated Heaven's Path Movement Art again, appearing a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

With his current strength, he definitely couldn't defeat this huge beast. He could only wait for Luo Xuanqing and the others to return.

Although these young masters were not as powerful as the beast, if he told them its flaws and they worked together, defeating it shouldn't be too difficult.

"That finger of yours is very peculiar!" With a snort, the Azure Dragon tilted its massive head and swung its tail at him again.

Having had its Void-Glimpse power broken twice in a row, it wanted to see whether it was luck or actual strength.

Knowing that the opponent's attack was utterly unstoppable, Zhang Xuan could only summon the Ruthless Man again and point at a flaw. Crack! Just like before, the opponent's Void-Glimpse realm domain shattered again.

"You can see the flaws in my domain?" Only then did the Infernal Azure Dragon finally understand, filled with disbelief.

If a powerhouse of the same level could do this, it wouldn't be surprising. But for a minor figure only at the peak of Exalted Mortal 9-dan to shatter its domain three times in a row, it piqued its strong interest.

"Of course... I am a Master Teacher. Not only can I see them, but if I were to guide you, your strength would definitely surpass its current level and you could certainly go much further!"

Seeing that it had stopped attacking, Zhang Xuan's heart stirred, and he quickly said, "I won't care about anything else for now; if I can trick this fellow into becoming my pet beast, the rest will be simple. First, I'll disregard everything else and give Zhang Chun a good beating."

He had found that fellow annoying for a long time.

"Guide me?" The Infernal Azure Dragon tilted its head to one side and thought for a moment. "If you can defeat me with your own strength, then I'll let you guide me!"

"With my own strength?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

To be honest, without the help of the Ruthless Man and his various other methods, let alone him, even his clone definitely couldn't withstand it!

For Saint realm cultivators, after the Primordial Spirit realm, there was a vast difference between each level. The Void-Glimpse realm and Entering Void realm were even more so; one could say the difference was immeasurable.

Even with so many methods, he couldn't stop the opponent. It was only by utilizing the flaws from the Library of Heaven's Path that he managed to shatter the opponent's Void-Glimpse domain... If he had to fight bare-handed, winning... how could that be possible!

"Oh, right, that... would it be useful?" His heart stirred as he remembered something, and he couldn't help but look up. "You're called an Infernal Azure Dragon, so you should possess an extremely rich dragon bloodline, right?"

Since the opponent possessed a dragon bloodline, perhaps he truly could defeat it with his own strength alone.

"Indeed!" The Azure Dragon looked proud.

"Since that's the case..." With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan floated in the air, exuding the demeanor of a master. "I'll call out to you once, dare you respond?"

"Call out to me once?" The Azure Dragon was puzzled.

"Indeed..." Zhang Xuan nodded and took a deep breath.

"Hmph!" "Moo!" The sounds suddenly erupted.

The Infernal Azure Dragon in the sky suddenly convulsed. Thud! It fell to the ground, frothing at the mouth incessantly.
