Chapter 5452 Black Dragon Tail Pendulum

Gu Yang and the black crow dragon race leader clashed fists, unleashing a shockwave that roared into the heavens. Their surging Blood Qi shook the battlefield as the two combatants were sent flying backward.

The black crow dragon race leader stumbled back three steps, while Gu Yang retreated nine. Clearly, in terms of pure power, Gu Yang was slightly inferior. But this one exchange was enough to stun countless dragon experts.

The black crow dragon race leader was a half-step Dragon Emperor, standing on the cusp of the Dragon Emperor realm. In contrast, Gu Yang was merely a Heaven Saint. The gulf between their realms was immense. Yet, Gu Yang had managed to block one of his full-powered attacks. This feat was nothing short of miraculous.

After this exchange, Long Chen and the Dragonblood warriors immediately relaxed. If the power difference between them was small, then Gu Yang was in an undefeatable position.

Long Chen took a few steps back to give his brother room to fight.

“A half-step Dragon Emperor is only so-so,” sneered Gu Yang, pointing his spear at his opponent. “Have you been someone’s dog for so long that I can’t sense the domineering will of a dragon in your bloodline?”

“Who the hell do you think you are?! How dare you insult the great black crow dragon race?!”

Furious, the black crow dragon race leader summoned a black spear and charged.

This spear was no ordinary weapon—it was a legacy divine weapon of the dragon race. Most dragon race experts favored spears, as they combined raw power with agility. Unlike battle-axes or warhammers, which relied purely on brute force, a spear allowed dragons to unleash their ferocity with finesse.

Typically, the dragon race would engrave intricate dragon runes onto their spears, imbuing them with their dragon blood and dragon souls. These weapons, known as dragon spears, were a signature of the dragon race, symbolizing their power and lineage.

Most dragon spears were crafted from dragon fangs or claws. When a dragon expert faced the end of their journey—whether due to their inability to ascend further, an impending death from severe injuries, or simply the passage of time—they would channel their entire lifeforce into a dragon spear, creating a peerless divine weapon, a final legacy for their descendants.

Such dragon spears often housed the souls of their makers within them. However, with the passage of time, the wills and memories of these souls would fade, leaving behind item-spirits—shadows of the once-proud dragons.

BOOM!

Gu Yang’s white dragon bone spear and the black crow dragon race leader’s black dragon spear clashed with such intensity that the entire Dragon Domain shuddered.

Once again, both combatants were forced to retreat simultaneously. But this time, each of them stumbled back nine steps.

Although Gu Yang’s power was slightly inferior to his opponent’s, his dragon bone spear clearly outshone the black crow dragon race leader’s weapon. The gap between them was instantly closed.

“The dragon race’s greatness has nothing to do with your black crow dragon race. How can a dog with a broken spine dare to call themselves a dragon?” Gu Yang sneered, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Yang’s mouth was quite vicious today. Normally, he wouldn’t bother spouting venom at others, but he truly loathed the black crow dragon race. If he didn’t take this chance to nicely humiliate them, wouldn’t he have endured all the bitterness for nothing?

“Shut your shitty mouth!” the black crow dragon race leader roared, stamping on the air.

In an instant, he unleashed sixteen devastating strikes with his spear. Gu Yang blocked every single one, but the sheer power of the attacks forced him further and further back.

Then, the black crow dragon race leader suddenly staggered, stepping back to catch his breath. At that moment, the entire Dragonblood Legion shouted in unison.

“Die!”

In the blink of an eye, Gu Yang’s spear shot forward like a venomous viper, piercing the leader’s throat. A deep gash was torn open, and black blood sprayed into the air.

“What?!”

The dragon experts were stunned. The black crow dragon race leader had been attacking so ferociously and had taken the advantage. How did he suddenly end up injured?

Clearly, the crowd had neither the Dragonblood warriors’ thick combat experience nor their sharp vision. The black crow dragon race leader’s attacks had come like a violent tempest, each one seemingly unstoppable. However, in his relentless barrage, he had given himself no chance to recover or react.

After his final strike, he stepped back to get the respite he needed, but that was when Gu Yang’s attack struck.

To the trained eye, the opening had been painfully obvious. Any Dragonblood warrior, not just a captain like Gu Yang, would have seized that opportunity without hesitation.

Yet, to everyone’s surprise, Gu Yang’s killing blow didn’t penetrate the black crow dragon race leader’s throat completely. Instead, it only left a deep wound.

Long Chen and the others were taken aback. The opening had been so clear. There was no reason why Gu Yang’s spear shouldn’t have severed the leader’s throat entirely.

However, they quickly noticed something: a black bone necklace around the black crow dragon race leader’s neck. It had blocked part of Gu Yang’s power, deflecting the strike just enough to save him from a fatal wound. That was the only reason he had escaped this calamity.

“Black Dragon Sea Pierce!” Gu Yang shouted, his spear twisting toward the black crow dragon race leader’s abdomen.

This was a common killing blow used by martial fighters in the mortal world—a sudden thrust aimed at a person’s qi sea. While the technique was simple, it required immense skill to execute effectively. In Gu Yang’s hands, however, the attack was far more refined. He added a twist to his movement, masking his true intent.

His spear shot forward with the speed of a bolt of lightning, and all anyone saw was a streak of white light—then, in the blink of an eye, the spear was already inches from the black crow dragon race leader’s abdomen.

The black crow dragon race leader was in a dazed state. He had narrowly escaped death thanks to his necklace, but it was in this moment of confusion that Gu Yang’s next attack came.

By the time the black crow dragon race leader tried to react, it was already too late. He made an attempt to block with his spear, but his defense was far too slow and unsteady.

“Black Crow Dragon Tail Pendulum!”

In front of Long Chen and the others’ stunned gazes, the black crow dragon race leader turned his back on Gu Yang and aimed his butt directly at the incoming spear.

Countless dragon scales appeared on top of his buttocks, forming a thick shield.

BANG!

The sharp tip of Gu Yang’s spear pierced the shield of dragon scales and drove deep into his flesh.

The entire battlefield fell silent. No one could believe what they were witnessing. Long Chen, along with the rest of the Dragonblood Legion, was dumbfounded. The spear had stabbed the black crow dragon race leader... in the butt.

“That works?” Long Chen muttered, his eyes wide with disbelief.
