X-Dragon Era

The Sword Dragon also has wings. In fact, the guard-shaped existence is its wings. However, the Sword Dragon's flight is not achieved by flapping its wings. There are twelve jet holes on the hilt and handguard, and it is the airflow ejected from these jet holes that generates propulsion for flight, similar to how an octopus moves underwater.

In terms of power, the Sword Dragon is absolutely top-tier, impeccable in both offense and defense. Especially in terms of straight-line flight speed, it is astonishing to the extreme. With the airflow ejection, it can travel vast distances in an instant. However, its maneuverability is quite poor.

Its characteristics are similar to an airplane: fast in a straight line, but turning is cumbersome and awkward.

But don't ever think that a slow turn implies weak attacks. In fact, the Sword Dragon's attacks are all-encompassing, with a widespread range. With its invincible defense, there is no need to dodge. It can simply bombard from a distance.

Moreover, the mention of poor turning ability and clumsiness is only in comparison to the Sword Dragon's straight-line flight. Although not as good at turning, the Sword Dragon is still far more agile than the vast majority of dragons. In comparison to the Sword Dragon, most other dragons are massive, much like an aircraft carrier sailing in the water, even more troublesome and clumsy to turn.

In contrast, the only one who possesses both extremely high straight-line speed and incredibly agile turning ability is probably Xin Yun's Yinglong. There are others who can be compared to it, but they are few and far between. Those faster than Yinglong lack its agility, and those more agile don't match its speed.

Because of the Sword Dragon's formidable abilities, Sword Dragon Valley has always been considered a deadly place, one of the ultimate challenges to test the Nine Great Experts. It's the last of the Top Ten arenas. If one can break through Sword Dragon Valley, where the Emperor Sword Dragon dwells, they can claim the title of one of the Nine Great Experts!

In his previous life, Xin Yun had tried to challenge the valley once, but regrettably, he had barely entered a thousand meters when he was nearly bombarded to smithereens. He escaped by a stroke of luck and dared not attempt it again. The horror of the Sword Dragons was unimaginable to those who had not experienced it.

However, now, although fully aware of the danger, Xin Yun had no other choice. For Yi Luo Xiang, he had to make this journey. Asides from the Emperor Sword Dragon, he could think of no dragon more formidable than the Death Sand Dragon; not that they didn't exist, but rather that they couldn't be found.

With powerful attacks, solid defenses, swift mobility, and dazzling appearance, in terms of overall quality, the Emperor Sword Dragon is the most suited for Yi Luo. Despite the enormous risk, he felt compelled to embark on this journey!

Sword Dragon Valley is a valley within a valley, with very unique terrain that resembles a slit of the sky. The high mountain walls on both sides reach into the clouds, and even during broad daylight, the light is dim.

Between the towering mountain walls lies a wide valley, and on the valley floor, there are mountain ranges thousands of kilometers tall. Ten Thousand Dragon Valley is situated within the valleys formed by these tall mountain ranges.

After two months of hurried travel, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang finally arrived outside the great valley of Sword Dragon Valley, weary and covered in dust. With time pressing, they rested briefly before plunging into Sword Dragon Valley.

Sword Dragon Valley is a very dangerous place. Even the Nine Great Experts of the past only proved their ability to survive here, not to defeat these Sword Dragons—it's an impossible feat.

Sword Dragon Valley is divided into ten layers. The first layer is where the weakest, rankless Sword Dragons are found, near the ground surface. Looking from afar, a series of rolling hills are filled with all sorts of oddly shaped swords. These swords are not weapons, but the bodies of the Sword Dragons...

When resting, Sword Dragons like to plunge their tips into the ground or mountain sides, standing erect against the wind like a Treasure Sword stuck in the ground. At first glance, they are densely packed, with an uncountable number.

Further up are the Bronze One Star Sword Dragons, leaning against the base of the mountain walls. Looking around, a series of sword-shaped Sword Dragons are slanted on the mountain walls, emitting a series of sharp sounds when the wind blows.

The arrangement of the Sword Dragons, from low to high strength, is very orderly. Lower-ranked dragons will never invade the territory of higher-ranked ones, thus creating an opportunity for Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang.

Although Xin Yun and Yi Luo now have the strength of Bronze Five Stars, they stand no chance against the Bronze tier Sword Dragons.

Normally, Sword Dragons don't move, standing upright like trees, closely packed together. They are not very large, so startling them would surely provoke the pursuit of hundreds, if not thousands, of Sword Dragons!

The real difficulty lies in the terrain here, which perfectly suits the Sword Dragons. The valley is a straight path, and the Sword Dragon's straight-line flying ability is so exaggerated, coupled with the Sword Qi they shoot out, makes complete escape impossible.

At the entrance to the valley, Xin Yun furrowed his brows. Although he had already warned countless times along the way, for safety, he warned again, "Yi Luo... remember, no matter what, you only have one chance. Whether you succeed or not, immediately turn around and run. Understand?"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang resolutely nodded and said, "Don't worry, no matter how tempting it is, I will definitely not linger."
