X-Dragon Era

Watching the rhinoceros horn charging at him like lightning, Xin Yun's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a strange smile. How could such an attack hurt him!

When it comes to paralyzation, Yiluo Township has the "Soul Impact," and Yan Qingying possesses mental shock abilities—both of which directly assault the mind and soul. However, Xin Yun had become accustomed to them.

Now, his opponent was using sound to immobilize the body, but such a tactic could not restrain the mind and soul. By comparison, this was the lowest form of paralytic spell.

It's always like this with people: when a loud noise suddenly erupts nearby, the body stiffens for an instant, temporarily beyond control. Yet, if one's spiritual power is strong enough, the body will still react—perhaps by swiftly jumping away, or by leaping in fright!

As the golden rhinoceros horn was about to pierce through Yinglong's head and Xin Yun's body, the next moment... Yinglong's body twisted a little. With that slight movement, the horn missed Yinglong's neck and shot high into the sky.

Although the sound-based immobilization can indeed paralyze, everyone knows that if you're prepared, no matter how loud the scream, the adversary won't be frightened, not even blinking an eye. Even without preparation, Xin Yun's willpower—tempered by Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying—was far too resilient for such a minor disturbance to immobilize him.

"What! How... how can this be!" The Rhinoceros Dragon Warrior stood there in shock, staring wide-eyed at Xin Yun and Yinglong, completely unable to understand why his shot had missed!

You see, although Xin Yun had moved, the degree was very small, especially when midair. Even if you look closely, it's hard to detect any movement—not that this excited youth had the mind to observe carefully.

Looking at his opponent's expression of utter shock, Xin Yun shook his head with a smile. To use sound-based immobilization successfully, one generally needed to spring out from the shadows, catching the prey off-guard. Yet, from the beginning of the fight, Xin Yun's mind was highly concentrated, and with his unwavering will, how could he be paralyzed?

Not to mention Xin Yun's additional life experience—vastly enriching his knowledge. Even without rebirth, the training with Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying had already built significant resistance.

Sound can immobilize the body, while mental paralyzation induces intense fear and limpness in the limbs. As for soul immobilization, it causes one to enter a state of stupor, utterly forgetting to even dodge.

The most potent, though, would be Xin Yun's "Lightning Paralysis Incapacitation," which simultaneously assaults the body, mind, and soul. By leveraging electricity, it temporarily severs the connection between them, rendering an undeniable, irresistible, inevitable paralysis, differing only in duration.

As Xin Yun pondered, back on the ground... the Rhinoceros Dragon Warrior finally snapped out of it, waving his arm fiercely, and once again roared at Xin Yun in mid-air—another go! Rhinoceros Horn Charge!

Accompanied by the roar of the Rhinoceros Dragon Warrior, the massive rhinoceros once again lifted its head, and the solitary horn emitted a sharp golden glow. The next moment... the golden horn once again rocketed toward Xin Yun.

Calmly watching the rhinoceros horn shooting up from below, Xin Yun crossed his arms over his chest, as Yinglong subtly shifted his stance once more, narrowly evading the second horn charge, which shot past Yinglong's neck into the empty space beyond.

Despite its speed, for Xin Yun, such an attack was truly inferior. It was nothing compared to the Sword Qi launched by Yi Luo Xiang's Sword Dragon—those Sword Qi, extremely sharp, merely appeared as dim lights with a metallic luster, instantaneously arriving and cutting through iron as if it were mud.

Whether in speed or stealth, they simply were not comparable to the horn charge of this Rhinoceros Dragon.

Of course, it's not that the Rhinoceros Dragon was weak. On the contrary, it's quite strong, very strong indeed—but this strength is relative to ground battles. If on the ground, the Rhinoceros Dragon would indeed be formidable. Unfortunately, against an airborne foe, the Rhinoceros Dragon simply doesn't measure up.

As he contemplated, Xin Yun took a deep breath, and with a reach of his right hand, Yinglong proudly raised its head. Then... following Xin Yun's sweeping right hand, a stream of azure mist whooshed towards the Rhinoceros Dragon below.

This was not an acid spray but an innate ability possessed by all dragons—Dragon Breath! With Yinglong's current traits, what was expelled was naturally a highly corrosive acidic Dragon Breath.

From a distance, what Xin Yun sprayed seemed like a beam of blue light, but to the one commanding the Rhinoceros Dragon, it felt like being hit by a high-pressure firefighting hose—a single spray soaked the entire Rhinoceros Dragon.

At present, everyone's dragons were below Silver rank, and energy shields could only protect the rider. As for the dragon's body, most of it was exposed, so while the acid didn't injure the rider, it instantly drenched the Rhinoceros Dragon.

As the acid reached its body, the thick-skinned and defensively formidable Rhinoceros Dragon had no solution to withstand the Strong Acid, regardless of its bodily resilience.
