Chapter 71 The Final Moment
```
"Bang!" With a fierce clench of his right hand, from afar... the Dragon's Claw instantly tightened, and the Death Sand Dragon's neck and head burst open in an instant, its body immediately turning into a skyful of sand debris, falling toward the ground below.
However, although it seemed like the leader of the Sand Dragons had suffered a heavy blow, in reality, this creature didn't have much of a problem at all. With a whirl of the gray dust, the Death Sand Dragon began to gather once again.
The Death Sand Dragon's speed of reformation was incredibly fast. The skyful of gray sand swirled with the wind and in just three seconds, the dragon could reform, and this was just at the Bronze First Order. In the future, when its strength improved, it could complete this process in an instant.
Facing the newly formed Death Sand Dragon, Xin Yun gritted his teeth and threw another punch, scattering the Death Sand Dragon again. After that... over a dozen times, as soon as the Death Sand Dragon leader began to take shape, Xin Yun would throw a punch and disperse it.
Facing such relentless attacks, the Death Sand Dragon was enraged, no longer trying to form its shape, and once again turned into a sandstorm, rolling towards Xin Yun's direction.
Watching the raging sandstorm coming his way, Xin Yun laughed, choosing not to resist head-on but instead commandeering Yinglong to twist and flee. When the sandstorm's energy was spent, he would stop again, refusing to let the Death Sand Dragon take form.
Seeing this scene, Yi Luo Xiang couldn't help laughing, saying, "You're quite shameless with that move, aren't you? That guy must be feeling so frustrated."
"Shameless?" Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not shameless, the Claw of Nothingness can ignore space, launching attacks right in front of the enemy. That's called ability. How many in this world possess a similar power?"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang paused slightly, then nodded in realization, saying, "I get it. Ordinary attacks can't ignore the distance of space, and to scatter this Death Sand Dragon requires immense strength."
With that, Yi Luo Xiang looked up at Xin Yun and said, "I can only say, this move is a bit too overpowered, too formidable. It's hard to defend against, other than just taking the blows directly, there seems to be no good way to counter it."
Nodding, Xin Yun once again swung his hand and scattered the formed Death Sand Dragon leader, then spoke, "Yes, the only flaw of this move is that it doesn't have enough destructive power. Against dragons with formidable defenses, it can only harass or injure, but it's hardly lethal."
"Haha..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang laughed and said, "Everything has its imperfections. If you also had incredible destructive power, wouldn't you be invincible? Who would dare to be your opponent? Even now, it's already very sufficient."
Confronted with Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun gave a bitter smile and said nothing. Yi Luo Xiang spoke like that only because she knew too little. Frankly, this was a mere physical attack, which many dragon types could be immune to; even if not immune, they could defend against it. The reason the Sand Dragon was so passive now was merely due to its lack of intelligence.
Were someone else to possess the Death Sand Dragon's abilities, dealing with them would not be so easy for Xin Yun.
Take the one who ranked second among the Nine Great Experts in the previous life, for example. His dragon was also a Sand Dragon, not a Death Sand Dragon, but a Vajra Sand Dragon, composed of Vajra sand, a substance similar to diamonds, always invisible, impossible to see with the naked eye.
Its dispersal and reformation happened in less than a tenth of a second; its physical defense was freakishly formidable, harder than steel. At best, a hit might reduce it to dust, causing zero harm, as it could re-form again in less than a tenth of a second.
As for the one ranked first, hehe... just to give a heads-up, it was a Golden Sword Dragon, made from a type of metal that could liquefy, looking on the outside as if it were sculpted from gold, immune to both physical and energy attacks, its body able to become as flexible as water in an instant, as well as hard as diamond. Xin Yun's Dragon Claw stood no chance of causing it any harm.
The Golden Sword Dragon looked like a treasure sword, with its hilt being its wings and its body being the blade of the sword; the hilt was the dragon's head and neck. Suspended in mid-air, it resembled a gigantic golden sword, launching attacks by shooting out millions of golden swords at all targets.
In the past life, Xin Yun had personally witnessed this creature laying waste to a city, hanging high above and then unleashing millions of golden swords that whistled down like torrential rain, scattering across the whole city, with each sword creating a tiny mushroom cloud upon impact. Everything within the vicinity of its impact was pulverized into powder.
The third great expert was none other than the Peacock King, Ming Xuan. However, his special abilities, hehe... those are to be left unsaid for now, otherwise, there'd be nothing to look forward to."

Returning to the main story, every time the Death Sand Dragon leader transformed into a sandstorm, Xin Yun would turn tail and run. As soon as the Death Sand Dragon tried to solidify its true form, it would suffer a heavy blow. This persisted for over thirty minutes.
"Hmm?" Just as the Death Sand Dragon once again turned into a storm and charged toward the two of them, Yi Luo Xiang suddenly let out a low exclamation, her eyes shining as she said, "Xin Yun, have you noticed? The Death Sand Dragon's sandstorm doesn't seem as fast anymore!"
Upon hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun was slightly startled, then he opened his mouth in surprise, Yes... Although it wasn't very obvious, the sandstorm formed by the Death Sand Dragon's leader had indeed slowed in its movement speed!
In their puzzlement, the two observed carefully. After the sandstorm chased them for a distance, it began to solidify again. However, this time Xin Yun did not use the Dragon's Claw to disperse it!
Under the focused gaze of Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang, it took the Death Sand Dragon a full five seconds to finally complete its body, roaring as it fired a fiery red pebble, shooting it like a bullet toward Xin Yun.
As a First Order Death Sand Dragon, it could only shoot out one pebble per second, and though its speed was quite fast, it wasn't invisible to the eye. Moreover, with a distance of a hundred meters between them, Xin Yun managed to move his dragon body and avoided it. Stay connected with empire
"Damn!" Seeing this, Xin Yun's eyes lit up, This guy is great; for practicing evasion and escape abilities, this Death Sand Dragon is much better than the Sandfire Dragon.
For a time, neither Xin Yun nor the Death Sand Dragon moved. The Death Sand Dragon kept firing fiery red bullets while Xin Yun continuously changed his dragon body's shape, dodging each and every bullet.
As he was indulging in the practice, Yi Luo Xiang suddenly spoke, "Xin Yun... Don't rush to practice dodging just yet. I have an idea. If we beat this Death Sand Dragon to the brink of exhaustion, into a dazed state, might it..."
Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun's eyes shone, Yes... It is very difficult to be fooled when one is clear-headed, but in a groggy, nearly asleep state, it's much more likely to be deceived.
While pondering, Xin Yun once again started swinging the Dragon's Claw, continuously blasting the solidifying Death Sand Dragon, then patiently waiting for it to solidify again before dispersing it once more.
As time slowly passed, after another twenty to thirty minutes of torment... The Death Sand Dragon clearly grew weaker, its body taking a full ten seconds to solidify, and it had already lost the ability to turn into a sandstorm.
"Stop!" Seeing this, Yi Luo Xiang's eyes brightened with excitement as she cautiously said, "It should be enough now. Don't keep attacking. If it disperses, all our efforts will have been in vain."
In the meantime, after resting for over an hour and having somewhat recovered, Yi Luo Xiang once again summoned the Flash Butterfly Dragon. In a blink, she appeared at Xin Yun's right side.
Xin Yun didn't say much, directly guiding Yinglong to move in front of Yi Luo Xiang, forming a Dragon Array Formation, protecting Yi Luo Xiang and her Flash Butterfly firmly. Seeing this, Yi Luo Xiang took a deep breath, striving to suppress the tears welling up, then slowly closed her eyes, brought her hands together in front of her chest, and began to focus intently, silently chanting...
After a long ordeal, the Death Sand Dragon leader was somewhat drained, and facing Yi Luo Xiang's Soul Control, it was still stubbornly shaking its head, but it was clearly losing strength.
Seeing that the Death Sand Dragon was still trying to resist, Xin Yun furrowed his brow. The next moment... Yinglong opened his mouth again, and a series of shadowless, invisible acids howled out, smashing onto the body of the Death Sand Dragon leader. In just a short time, the leader's entire body was completely drenched, with copious amounts of acid dripping from its feet...
