The Dragon Slaying Art was infinitely sharp.
It could sever dragon veins, extinguish life, and at its least destructive, demolish a sect's century-old foundation; at its most, annihilate a divine dynasty's millennium of national fortune. To use it recklessly invited divine retribution.
Even someone as audaciously bold as Lu Bei didn't dare to level up this skill, comparable to a Divine Ability, to its full potential. Likewise, he didn't use his full strength in this assault.
Huang Xiu, who had studied two Qingqiu constellations and was skilled in the arts of dragon slaying and dragon taming, saw Lu Bei's move and his face turned pale with shock.
He hastily retracted the dragon vein, unwilling to gamble the entire clan's fate. Still, because of his slow reaction, he failed to recover most of the dragon energy, which was promptly severed by Lu Bei with a flick of his blade.
