Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System-Chapter 647 - 647: True Dragon Might

Saryx's four wings spread.
The wind that followed sent dust rolling across the ruined clearing.
SWOOSH!!!!
His claw appeared above Alex's head.
BOOM!!!
Alex raised his forearms and blocked it with layered protection runes. The runes cracked on impact, and the ground under him sank.
Mingyue cut the air beside him.
A purple line appeared, and space stiffened for an instant. It did not stop the claw, but it was enough to help Alex dodge.
SWOSH!!!
Saryx's tail whipped next.
It swept across the clearing like a black wall.
The fire fox took it head-on.
BAM!!!
The tail slammed into its shoulder, and white flame exploded outward. The fox was pushed back, claws carving trenches, but it did not break apart.
Alex's eyes narrowed.
'Good. It seems the fox can last longer.'
Alex started sending more lifeforce into the rune on the fox's body.
The rune star shone green.
Alex then drew a rune in the air and shot it toward Saryx.
Rune chains burst out and wrapped around Saryx's front leg.
CLANG!!!
Saryx's violent aura surged.
The outer layer of the chains started to crumble, but it was slower this time. It was like the dispersal was chewing through something that kept regenerating.
Saryx's eye narrowed.
"Good trick."
His wings flapped once.
The entire clearing exploded into wind pressure.
Alex and Mingyue were forced back, their feet scraping, while the fire fox dug in and held the line with raw strength.
Mingyue lifted both swords and stabbed them into the air. Purple ice lotuses bloomed like a shield wall, then unfolded into a rain of blades that aimed for Saryx's eyes, throat, and wing joints.
SWOSH!!!
CLANG! CLANG!
Saryx did not dodge.
His scales took the first wave.
The second wave slowed as it entered his aura. The lotuses crumbled as the dispersal ate at the energy.
Mingyue's gaze sharpened. She poured in lifeforce, augmenting the purple ice.
A greenish aura spread through the lotus blades.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Several lotus blades struck his wing bones. Shallow cuts opened and smoked, then sealed as his aura surged again.
"ROARRR!!!!"
The sound rolled across the forest like a quake.
He ripped up a chunk of earth and hurled it like a mountain.
Alex raised his hands and pushed his runes forward. The runes formed a wall, then layered into a spinning disk.
BOOM!!!
The rock shattered into a storm of fragments.
The fragments kept coming, but Mingyue froze the space in front of them with her lotus lines, and the debris sprayed off to the sides like rain hitting glass.
The fire fox grew again.
Alex forced more lifeforce into it, and the fox's flames surged.
Its body expanded until its head reached Saryx's chest level, and its nine tails spread wide like a burning sun.
The fox leaped.
BOOM!!!
It slammed into Saryx's chest and drove him back.
The ground cracked in a spiderweb under Saryx's feet, and his four wings flapped as he tried to stabilize.
Alex rushed in and slammed a rune seal onto Saryx's front leg.
The seal sank into the scales, and red lines spread like veins.
Saryx's leg shook.
For a breath, the space around that joint stiffened, and his aura flickered there.
Mingyue appeared behind him.
She cut downward.
A purple lotus appeared in midair. Its petals were space cuts wrapped in ice, and each petal tried to lock the world around Saryx into a frozen statue.
Saryx's head snapped back.
His violent aura exploded outward, thicker than before, trying to erase the lotus petals before they could close.
Alex's lifeforce runes started burning out.
Mingyue's qi churned as she forced her lotus to keep forming.
The fire fox dug its claws into Saryx's chest.
Then Saryx's eyes turned cold.
Black-green light gathered behind his teeth again, but this time it did not pour outward.
It sank inward, deeper into his throat, deeper into his core.
Alex felt it and his blood ran cold.
Saryx smiled, and the space around his throat folded.
BOOM!!!!!
The fold snapped open.
A violent shockwave exploded out of Saryx's body, pure dispersal energy that tore through the air.
The purple lotus shattered turning into dust.
Alex's remaining runes flared, then broke.
He was thrown back.
BAM!!!
His body crashed into the ground. His arms went numb from the impact.
Mingyue was hit next.
Her twin swords crossed in front of her, purple ice forming on instinct, but the wave tore through it and smashed into her chest.
BOOM!!!
She flew back and cut through a line of broken trees, landing hard on one knee with her blades planted to keep herself from getting pushed farther.
Only the fire fox held, thanks to it's body weight.
Its claws dug deep. Nine tails spread digging deep into the ground.
The shockwave tore at its flames and tried to thin its body, but the soul stayed intact under Alex's lifeforce.
The fox lowered its head.
Then it charged.
It crossed the ruined ground in a blur of white flame and crushed soil.
Saryx met it head-on.
His claws tore the ground as he braced, then he slammed into the fox.
BOOOOM!!!
The collision sent a pressure ring rolling across the clearing.
Dirt and stone lifted, then dropped like rain.
The trench lines around them widened from the impact.
The fox snapped for his throat.
Saryx twisted his neck and took it on the side.
Teeth scraped scales with a harsh clang, sparks jumping at the contact point.
He countered with a bite of his own and clamped down on one of the tails.
White flame surged, and the fox yanked hard, dragging Saryx's head down for an instant.
It slammed its skull into his jaw.
CRACK!!!
Saryx's head jerked.
His claws raked across the fox's ribs.
BAM!!!
Whiteflame burst outward. The fox's body shook, but it did not break.
It drove its shoulder into Saryx's chest and forced him back step by step.
Saryx back legs crushed the ground. His wings flapped to push his weight forward.
