However, reality is always full of surprises. What greeted him was a massive black dragon head.

"————"

The unprepared Red Sun Knight, with a look of shock, was bitten in half by the enormous dragon head. His nearly shattered "Nine Ghost Demon Armor" once again cracked, with half of its pieces scattering in all directions. Blood gushed from the Red Sun Knight's waist, leaving a gruesome mess.

"Ahhhhhhh——————" The excruciating pain caused the Red Sun Knight to unleash an astonishing burst of power. Flames exploded violently like an ignited gunpowder storehouse, finally shattering the dragon head that had been tightly clamped onto him, sending him flying far away.

"Cough... Is this... Dragon Emperor Battle Aura? You... Are you one of the Dragon Emperor Knights?" The Red Sun Knight, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, slowly got up and asked in shock and anger. His injuries were now even more severe.

Legend has it that the Dragon Emperor Knights of Sacred Dragon Mountain, though few in number, are all dual-cultivation experts in both magic and martial arts. Although they can only cast magic of the dragon crystal core within their bodies, their power rivals that of a tenth-level mage. Moreover, their battle aura surpasses that of ordinary human Sword Emperors, reaching the level of the five great orc warrior races. Isn't the strength of this person before him a living testament to that? But why would the Dragon Emperor Knights, who have always remained aloof, suddenly attack him?

Despite his recklessness, the Red Sun Knight, born into royalty, had been exposed to various political intrigues since childhood. Although his political acumen was insufficient to see through or utilize these schemes, it made him even more prone to paranoia. Faced with this unexpected assault, he naturally fell into a state of panic and confusion.

And Chen Xuanfeng's next sentence further plunged his thoughts into a deeper and more chaotic quagmire of mystery.

"Fool, have you ever seen a dark dragon on Sacred Dragon Mountain? Let me tell you, I am the legendary strongest 'Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor Knight'!" Chen Xuanfeng sneered, weaving an even more tangled web of lies.

With these words, nine massive black dragon heads emerged from behind Chen Xuanfeng, stretching their long necks and roaring. Each dragon head had a different appearance—some with six horns and long whiskers, others with a single horn and four eyes—all exuding a ferocious and menacing aura. These dragon heads were energy constructs formed from battle aura, so even the one that had been blown apart by the Red Sun Knight instantly reformed without any damage.

In this world, there is no such thing as a "nine-headed dragon." However, it is said that the guardian beast of the Mermaid Empire in the eastern seas, the "Nine-Headed Serpent" clan, has always claimed that their ancestor and guardian deity is the ultimate destroyer god, "Great Dark Nine-Headed Dragon God—Leviathan," who resides deep in the Sea of Star Souls, coiled at the base of the World Tree, constantly gnawing at its roots. At the end of the world, it will devour the entire World Tree, all planes, and every god and devil.

"You... Nine-headed dragon... Mermaid Empire... Sacred Dragon Mountain... Dark magic... What... What is going on?"

Panic, even for a fleeting moment, is enough to affect the outcome of battles at their level.

Normally, experts like the Red Sun Knight are extremely resolute in mind, and it is nearly impossible to overwhelm them in terms of morale. However, the more arrogant a person is, the more they tend to falter after suffering a major blow. Except for a few individuals with great courage and composure who remain unfazed by honor or disgrace, most people become anxious and uneasy. The young Red Sun Knight was never the type to grow stronger through adversity. After being defeated by Chen Xuanfeng, severely injured by the "Great Judgment Art," and then defeated again by the Hanyue Knight Carol, although his arrogance remained undiminished in words, his inner confidence had gradually crumbled, making him increasingly paranoid.

Moreover, when Chen Xuanfeng revealed the "Nine-Headed Dragon Battle Aura" and its lunar attribute, the "Nine-Headed Dragon Soul," he also incorporated the Nine Yin Manual's ultimate technique, the "Soul Shifting Art," directly shaking the Red Sun Knight's core and making him even more suspicious without realizing it.

In battles between experts, each other's mental state often plays a significant role. Thus, when the Red Sun Knight's morale declined, Chen Xuanfeng's attacks naturally became more effective.

The "Nine-Headed Dragon Battle Aura," unlike the "Holy Grail Battle Aura" created through divine artifacts and luck, is a true masterpiece forged by Chen Xuanfeng by gathering various powerful techniques and the secrets of hell's dark forces. Its dark battle aura is immensely powerful, and its lunar attribute, the "Nine-Headed Dragon Soul," possesses a ninefold amplification effect on combat power, second only to the Emperor Martial Overlord Art. Additionally, the nine dragon heads formed from the battle aura have melee combat strength no less than that of true super magical beasts, making its overall power no less than the world's number one, the Emperor Martial Overlord Art.

At this moment, although Chen Xuanfeng had no weapon in hand, the nine dragon heads themselves were formidable weapons. Their long necks, extending up to a hundred meters, combined with the soft weapon techniques from the Nine Yin Manual, such as the "Minghai Kunpeng Dance," were no less than nine epic-level whips, stirring the atmosphere and sand, almost forming a massive tornado that pushed aside the Red Sun Knight's flame battle aura. Each of the nine massive dragon mouths contained the hidden force of the fully mastered "Nine Yin White Bone Claw," capable of gnashing even against epic divine weapons. Coupled with Chen Xuanfeng's elusive movements and an endless array of strange dark magic, the already injured Red Sun Knight not only failed to unleash his full strength but suffered even more injuries, worsening his situation.

"Damn you———— No matter who you are, I will make you pay. Remember, you brought this upon yourself————" A cornered dog will jump over a wall, and a desperate rabbit will bite. No matter how down-and-out the Red Sun Knight was, he was still a Sword Saint. Amidst continuous wounds and bleeding, he finally erupted in madness.

Suddenly, he withdrew the gaseous blades of the "Ten Realms Crimson Lotus Sword," which had transformed into countless weapons. With his remaining right hand, he reversed the grip and slammed the thirty-centimeter-long ruby-like hilt into his own chest. "Flame Spirit Rebirth, Body into Sword, Crimson Lotus Flame Transformation————"

With the Red Sun Knight's nearly piercing roar, countless dark golden flames erupted from his entire body, especially from his seven orifices and wounds, as if a sun had exploded within him. The previously scattered flames, as if encountering oil, reignited with fervor. In moments, the Red Sun Knight had transformed into a being of fire, with even his tattered "Nine Ghost Demon Armor" glowing red and smoking.
