Chapter 383: The Blind Spear of Blind Eyes
This strike carried the force of the Yong River itself pressing down, combined with Blind's own immense mana erupting into a divine ability. Before the strike even landed, the Dragon Tamer Lord sensed an overwhelmingly intense danger!
"Where did this tiny nation of Yankang get so many experts?" The Dragon Tamer Lord had no time to change his move. Gritting his teeth, he channeled all his mana to meet Blind's strike head-on!
The water pillar spun like a whirlwind, its rotation so fast that it sliced through the air, producing a sharp howl!
Before the water pillar, a dragon's roar resounded. The highly condensed water formed a dragon's head, lunging at the Dragon Tamer Lord!
"Using a dragon-shaped spell against me?"
The Dragon Tamer Lord breathed a sigh of relief. With a shake of his body, countless dragon-shaped air currents surged forth, coalescing into a massive Thousand Dragon Plate that spiraled above his head.
The Dragon Tamer Lord raised his hands, holding up the Thousand Dragon Plate. On it, countless flood dragons bared their fangs and claws, writhing in the wind. "This man is a master, but he's met his natural enemy. I am a deity who raises dragons; no dragon-shaped divine ability can escape my eyes. This man is nothing to fear."
Just as he thought this, the dragon head began to spin. The water pillar coiled, transforming into an enormous dragon spear. The dragon's head rested on the spear's tip, and the river water became the sharpest, most piercing point.
"It's not a dragon-shaped divine ability!"
The Dragon Tamer Lord's heart shook violently. Blind's spear had already thrust into the Thousand Dragon Plate, striking a single point among the thousand dragons.
The power unleashed by this strike was unexpectedly small, its might not strong at all. Yet the Thousand Dragon Plate suddenly disintegrated. The thousand flood dragons twisted and scattered, leaving a massive hole in the center of the great plate.
The Dragon Tamer Lord looked up. That enormous dragon spear pierced down through the center of the Thousand Dragon Plate!
"The power of this spear didn't explode in the collision with the Thousand Dragon Plate, so it must explode in the collision with my physical body. This man's technique is brilliant, his control over divine abilities reaching the extreme. He can see through the flaws in my divine abilities!"
The Dragon Tamer Lord had no time to think further. He abandoned any attempt to lift the Yong River, channeling all his mana into his hands. He spread his palms apart, and layers upon layers of barriers emerged, but the spear pierced through them all, meeting almost no resistance.
The Dragon Tamer Lord clasped his hands together, catching the descending spear tip. He let out a muffled groan, and his hands were instantly drenched in blood, the dragon scales on them torn open by the spear tip.
"His mana is weaker than mine! Shatter for me!"
The Dragon Tamer Lord's body swelled rapidly, in an instant surpassing the river valley, reaching a height of a hundred zhang. He lifted the spear with all his might, spinning his body at breakneck speed.
The power of the descending water dragon spear erupted, spinning wildly as well. The dragon's roar became deafening in an instant. As both sides unleashed their full strength, the massive dragon spear shattered, scattering into a torrent of water that crashed down with a roar.
The Dragon Tamer Lord was drenched from head to toe, his hands a bloody mess, his palms trembling. This time, it was only because his opponent's mana was weaker that he managed to shatter that spear. But the power within that spear was too great, mixed with the might of the Yong River's water force.
The Yong River pressed down from above with immense pressure, combined with the spear's power, injuring his hands.
Before the Dragon Tamer Lord could catch his breath, another enormous dragon spear spun down from the Yong River above. The Dragon Tamer Lord dodged to the side, but another dragon spear appeared in the air, thrusting toward him.
He moved swiftly, shifting along the riverbed toward the west, his steps crossing to evade strike after strike. Each time a massive dragon spear missed, its power was fully withdrawn, with no energy leaking out. Instead, it struck precisely at the joints of the dragon vein, stabilizing the power of the Yong River's dragon vein.
"A master of Dao techniques!"
The Dragon Tamer Lord was secretly alarmed. Each of Blind's spear strikes precisely fixed the key nodes of the Yong River's dragon vein, preventing him from channeling its power or altering its flow.
Without his mana to support it, the Yong River in the sky began to descend.
But the river was flying high, so it would take some time before it fell into the riverbed.
"His control over Dao techniques is so exquisite, no less than that taciturn Heavenly Artisan!"
Cold sweat broke out on the Dragon Tamer Lord's forehead. The dragon spears raining down from above grew denser, making it increasingly difficult for him to dodge. He was forced to confront them, and soon his body was covered in wounds.
Meanwhile, Blind was fixing more and more nodes of the dragon vein.
The Dragon Tamer Lord's flood dragons were now scattered upstream and downstream of the Yong River, too far away to return and lend him their power.
As for the Flood Dragon King deity, he had sent it ahead.
His fierce battle with Mute had been a clash of titans, both going all out to kill each other. The Dragon Tamer Lord had suffered a great loss of vitality, and later was startled into flight by Emperor Yanfeng's cannon shot.
He had yet to fully recover his vitality. On top of that, altering the Yong River's course consumed a great deal of mana. With Blind seizing the initiative, he was routed again and again, suffering repeated injuries.
On the Yong River in the sky, Blind held a bamboo staff, riding a water dragon as he sped across the river's surface. Behind him, the surging waters gave rise to an enormous phantom—a colossal Black Tortoise deity, refined almost to the point of solidity.
This Black Tortoise deity was the old man with a turtle shell, entwined with a Winged Serpent. The serpent's wings fluttered, as if ready to take flight.
Qin Mu found it familiar. This Black Tortoise deity was Blind's primordial spirit, somewhat similar to the Black Tortoise stone statue in the Village of the Remnant Elders, though the face was slightly different. As a child, Qin Mu had been mischievous, urinating on all four statues in the village, including the Black Tortoise one.
On the river's surface, Blind moved like lightning, his bamboo staff striking down repeatedly, piercing the water's surface and clashing with the Dragon Tamer Lord from a distance.
This was the first time Qin Mu had seen Blind go all-out in battle. Back when Qin Feiyue entered the Great Ruins from the Yong River, Blind had once tapped the river's surface with his staff, making the Yong River jump several times. But Qin Feiyue was only a Seven-Star realm expert at the time, and Blind was just scaring him, not using his full strength.
Now, Blind was fighting with everything he had. With each tap of his staff through the river's surface, a water pillar over ten zhang thick shot down from below, then spun violently into a water dragon spear. Every strike hit the flaws in the Dragon Tamer Lord's techniques and divine abilities, forcing him to run and struggle endlessly.
Blind had his own unique mental method to drive the Nine Heavens Eye-Opening Technique. He hadn't taught this method to Qin Mu. It wasn't the most supreme mental method in the Village of the Remnant Elders, but the Nine Heavens Eye-Opening Technique was the strongest in the world.
What he used against enemies was precisely the Nine Heavens Eye-Opening Technique, but he hadn't just cultivated it to the ninth heaven. He had refined it into the Heart-Mind Eye.
Under the gaze of the Heart-Mind Eye, even a deity like the Dragon Tamer Lord was riddled with flaws.
Blind's mana was indeed inferior to the Dragon Tamer Lord's, even after the latter had expended much mana altering the dragon vein. If the Dragon Tamer Lord also summoned his flood dragons to borrow their power, his mana would be several times greater than Blind's. However, Blind's strongest attack was his Heart-Mind Eye, which saw through all techniques and divine abilities, finding flaws even where none seemed to exist.
In terms of cultivation, Blind's mana depth was less than that of Village Chief, Grandpa Ma, Mute, or Butcher, and also weaker than Granny Si when her heart demon erupted. He only surpassed Deaf, Doctor, and Lame.
In terms of divine ability power, his abilities were not as strong as Deaf's paintings, and slightly inferior to Village Chief, Butcher, and Grandpa Ma.
Yet, aside from Village Chief and the unfathomable Mute, who dared claim they could gain any advantage over Blind?
With the Heart-Mind Eye unleashed, his moves were invincible. All divine abilities under heaven, broken by a single staff!
"You rat on the river, why do you only hide your head and tail, not daring to come down and fight me face to face?"
The Dragon Tamer Lord's voice came from the riverbed below, where water had already gathered, making it muddy. He was forced to dodge Blind's spear strikes, but he couldn't escape the riverbed. Each time, Blind's spear drove him back.
Now, the water in the riverbed was mixed with his divine blood and mud, filthy and murky. Many loaches in the water leaped out, absorbing his divine blood and transforming into flood dragon forms, thrashing in the mud, baring their fangs and claws, ferocious.
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
Blind roared, suddenly abandoning Qin Mu and the others, plunging through the river water to attack the Dragon Tamer Lord in the riverbed. A water dragon shot out, wrapping around Qin Mu and the others and placing them on Dragon Qilin's back.
Qin Mu and the others had their divine treasuries sealed, leaving them without mana, unable to stand on the water. But Dragon Qilin's cultivation remained, allowing it to walk on the water's surface.
Si Yunxiang and Ling Yuxiu were startled, stamping their feet. "Why is Grandpa Blind so reckless, falling for the taunt? How can he engage in a direct confrontation?"
Qin Mu was overjoyed, laughing. "The Dragon Tamer Lord will be lucky to escape with his skin intact. Our Grandpa Blind from the village isn't a master of divine abilities; he belongs to the Combat Technique School."
The two girls were deeply shaken.
This old blind man was from the Combat Technique School?
The spear strikes he had just delivered showed no sign of combat technique style!
Experts of the Combat Technique School unleashed astonishing power in close combat, concentrating all their strength at the moment of impact. But Blind's earlier spear strikes had displayed immense divine ability power, clearly marking him as a grandmaster of the spell and divine ability school!
Qin Mu and the two girls lay on Dragon Qilin's head, looking down. Qin Mu saw Fox Ling'er, still in her original form, sleeping off her drunkenness. Afraid she might fall into the water, he quickly hugged her to his chest.
The river water was clear, allowing a direct view of the riverbed.
The water was getting closer to the ground; soon, the entire Yong River would crash into the riverbed!
In the vast riverbed, Blind was small in stature, but the Dragon Tamer Lord was a hundred zhang tall, like a mountain peak. Yet he was incredibly agile, moving swiftly. The deity and the man clashed in the mud.
Blind flew rapidly through the air, circling around the Dragon Tamer Lord, dodging strike after strike. His bamboo staff struck out repeatedly, spear-like and lightning-fast, hitting the Dragon Tamer Lord's body in succession at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
At that moment, the Yong River descending from above finally neared the ground. The colossal torrent of water crashed down with a sound that shook heaven and earth.
Blind tapped his staff on the Dragon Tamer Lord's brow, then withdrew.
The Dragon Tamer Lord stood frozen in place. The great water pressed down, and explosions erupted from countless points all over his body. Crushed by the river's weight, his bones broke and tendons snapped, and he was buried beneath the riverbed.
On the river's surface, Dragon Qilin soared into the air, avoiding the terrifying shockwave from the river's fall. Below them, water spread everywhere, the Yong River churning, waves surging skyward.
On the riverbank, Blind stood on a reef, leaning on his bamboo staff. He tapped the restless river surface with its tip, and the nearby waters calmed.
