Chapter 219: 207 Behind the Scenes 3

The dazzling golden light, like silk threads, burst forth, piercing through Kadis’s body. From her back, it shot out towards the distant sky.

It lasted a full few seconds. The golden glow slowly faded away and disappeared.

Flames swept through, and thick smoke billowed.

Kadis’s entire body was sent flying high from the impact and smashed into the ground.

This time, her whole body was riddled with dense holes pierced through by the massive explosion.

The fake skin on her body had turned into charred metal, revealing the silvery-gray metallic layer underneath.

"It’s over. The weak perish, the strong possess everything."

Li Chengyi approached, grabbed Kadis’s head, and lifted it.

The massive golden right hand quickly retracted to the size of a tower shield, gripping Kadis and reaching out to search her body.

Humm!

Suddenly, Kadis’s body glowed red, and her eyes lit up with a purple-black electric light.

In an instant.

Boom!

A tremendous electric light exploded from Li Chengyi’s hand, the intense electricity accompanied by terrifying heat, and under the force of a powerful impact, it viciously slammed into his front.

Spurt!

Li Chengyi’s body was blasted backward, retreating several steps, hitting a tree trunk behind him.

Only because his Floral Dress weighed over five tons was he able to avoid being blown far away by the explosion.

And so far, among all his Floral Dresses, the one with the highest defense was this Titan Sunflower Ultimate Form.

Apart from the speed recovery, sensitivity enhancement, and other boosts not as ideal as other armors, this Ultimate Form had become his most suitable armor for breaching.

But this explosion, its power far exceeded those of the scattered missiles and sniper cannons earlier.

It blasted a large crack across the chest portion of Li Chengyi’s armor.

This explosion, even Ding Zaocheng, who lay on the ground unable to rise, had not anticipated it.

He had thought the thug had ended the battle, holding a sure victory, but at the critical moment, Kadis played another trick.

’The completely formed body has limited internal space, and she decides to self-destruct so decisively... Wait, something’s not right!!’

A flash of realization crossed Ding Zaocheng’s mind.

"Thug, be careful!! That’s not her main body!!"

He shouted with all his might.

Not the main body?

Li Chengyi steadied himself and suddenly turned his head.

To his right, a shadow was approaching at an unpredictably high speed.

While ordinary people couldn’t see it clearly, Li Chengyi’s dynamic vision had made it apparent.

That shadow was yet another Kadis!

The third Kadis!!

"Will this ever end!!?" He withdrew his giant hand and faced the newcomer overhead with a smash.

The massive palm pressed down from mid-air, its diameter over six meters, like a huge stamp, covering the anticipated area in front of Kadis in an instant.

But bizarrely, a brown diamond-shaped crystal floating beside Kadis suddenly lit up with a white light.

An invisible Radiance Field unfolded above her head in an instant, blocking it from the descending giant hand.

Bang!!

A loud explosion erupted.

The Radiance Field and the Golden Giant Hand collided, scattering a large blast of air that dispersed the leaves around them.

Taking that moment,

Kadis accelerated once more and closed the gap.

The Radiance Field behind her dissipated, but she had successfully avoided the downfall of the giant hand.

"I admit I had underestimated you."

"But now, things are different!"

This third body was her true main body.

This time, during her infiltration, she had used her two spare bodies as bait, remotely controlling them.

She hadn’t expected the first would be blown up by the Heavenly Eye of the Security Department, and the second by the thug in front of her.

Having no choice, her true main body had to come forward.

The struggle for the Book of Record would determine her share of interests within the company after her return.

She could not fall. Already in a precarious position regarding status and prestige, she now viewed the Book of Record as a last life-saving straw.

So...

"Don’t blame me..."

"Explosion Mode, Tempest Wings!"

Boom!!

In an instant, large holes appeared on Kadis’s back.

A pair of blue particle streams over a meter long, like wings, shot out from behind her, emitting a blinding blue light.

The Ochre Crystal merged into her chest, transforming into a brown viscous metallic fluid that adhered to her skin.

In the woods, the distance between her and Li Chengyi rapidly shrank, becoming less and less.

’Swift Combat Technique... Shadow!

Hooked blades sprung out from her arms, and in that instant, Kadis seemed to vanish into thin air.

The formidable power of technology combined with Combat Technique was fully demonstrated at that moment.

In the next breath, her figure split in two, both appearing behind Li Chengyi.

The arms with hooks thrust forward.

From appearing to closing in to Flash Appearance, it all took just one second.

Just one second.

Li Chengyi was distracted by the airflow and smoke kicked up from the collision between his giant hand and the Radiance Field.

He barely had time to deal with Kadis suddenly behind him.

He managed to deliver a backward elbow strike, trying to disrupt the attacker.

But it was too late.

The combat speed of the Ultimate Form was far more formidable than a regular human’s.

In terms of strength and burst power, this strike possessed more than ten tons of impact force, all focused on the four hook-like blades that seemed to be illusions.

Li Chengyi’s elbow struck one of the hooks, but failed to hit anything solid.

That hook turned into a phantom and dissipated.

The remaining three hooks quickly faded and merged into two, sinking deep into the thick back armor of the Floral Dress.

With a thud, several scales were pried off and scattered.

Li Chengyi turned to counterattack with a punch, but once again found nothing but air.

His opponent had widened the gap with a speed far surpassing his own before he could even make a move.

Glint Flash had to be activated head-on, and in this split second exchange, it was Li Chengyi who came out worse off.

He stood his ground, gazing at the cracks in the golden armor that extended from his waist to his back, and took a deep breath.

Since obtaining the Ultimate Form of Floral Dress, how long had it been since he was this disheveled?

It was only at this moment that he truly appreciated the profound substance of being a director and a complete entity of the Noel Group.

He wasn’t some weakling like Andy; Kadis, a high-ranking executive, was a bona fide elite expert who had fought his way up from the bottom.

The high-temperature from the Radiance Field kept increasing the temperature around it even more.

Yet, for both of them, it had no effect.

Li Chengyi’s own physique had already surpassed human limits, and with a hint of Shadow Dragon Bloodline within him, he naturally wasn’t concerned.

And Kadis, being a complete entity herself, was composed entirely of materials structured to withstand high temperatures, so she was even less concerned.

On the other hand, the Safety Bureau personnel in the distance were becoming increasingly uncomfortable.

"For a long time, I thought I was strong enough. Hence, I had become somewhat complacent,"

facing Kadis, and any slight injuries that Li Chengyi had received beneath the Floral Dress were now completely healed under the ultra-fast healing powers of the Radiance Field, not even leaving a trace of a scar.

"Thank you,"

he said with sincerity and earnestness as he thanked his opponent.

"The slight complacency that had crept into me has now been entirely dispelled."

"So, you don’t think you’ve lost? Still want to fight?" Kadis discerned his intention.

She floated mid-air, her back emitting a humming sound as blue light particles continuously jetted out.

"But that’s only to be expected. The world is so vast and broad, everyone has their own ace in the hole, their own research results. Until you truly clash, no one knows how strong their trump card really is."

She seemed to understand completely.

"Just like how I was back in the day, obsessing over modules, refining the explosive mode I use today that has exaggeratedly boosted every performance indicator. Many groups and government departments possess similar technologies,

all flaunting their impressive data, but when it comes down to real combat... it’s the actual performance that counts."

"You’re right," Li Chengyi saw that his opponent didn’t seem to care at all about Jiu Yi’s reinforcements.

A suspicion arose within him that perhaps she had made some separate arrangement or agreement with Jiu Yi.

Combined with her prior restraint, consistently avoiding lethal force against the Safety Bureau personnel,

he began to understand.

That meant reinforcements from Jiu Yi were unlikely to arrive.

"Forget it, as payback for your earlier mercy,"

he raised his hand, and amidst smoke and flames, his Floral Dress rapidly disintegrated, dissolving into countless golden sunflower petals that scattered around him.

The countless golden petals swirled and danced, rapidly changing color.

From gold to purplish-red, with a hint of ash-gray.

In the blink of an eye, the sunflower petals transformed into countless threads resembling Feilian’s filamentous petals.

Rip!

A pair of pitch-black metallic wings unfurled from his back, each wing spanning nearly four meters.

A ferocious white skeletal dragon’s head materialized on his chestplate. From the dragon’s eyes, wisps of black smoke seeped out.

And atop his head, a pitch-black triangular metal helmet with three dragon-like horns took shape.

"Coming up, the second round,"

a pair of red diamond-shaped eyes lit up on Li Chengyi’s helmet.

Whoosh!

A wave of black qi radiating from beneath his feet rapidly expanded in all directions.

The black qi swept up the smoke and fused into the flames, extinguishing all the fierce fires in seconds, leaving only a single plume of black smoke.

But as the flames disappeared, the high temperatures around them did not subside but instead grew fiercer.

"A new type of exoskeleton?" Kadis said in a low voice. "Let’s try it out then, let’s see whose combat is stronger!!"

Before she could finish her sentence, she had already exploded into a sonic boom from mid-air.

In her explosive mode, her mere movement was enough to achieve the level of a sonic boom.

The blue particle stream streaked like a falling star in mid-air, charging at Li Chengyi.

A distance of just over ten meters, traversed at the speed of sound, required less than a second.

Just a flash, one-tenth of a second.

Kadis was already in front of Li Chengyi.

Her hook came crashing down from above.

Clang!

Li Chengyi raised his hand to block.

This time his neural reactions were significantly enhanced, barely keeping up with her speed.

The hook collided with the scales of the Floral Dress, the sharp hook and scales both twisting and deforming in unison.

Li Chengyi’s other hand burst forth with Soft Qi, punching towards his opponent.

But his punch was dodged.

The short-distance mobility at sonic speed was too swift; even though Li Chengyi could react, his own speed couldn’t keep up.

Shadow Dragon was inherently not known for speed; if it had been, he would have never been able to escape from the Silent Store.

But that didn’t mean he was at an absolute disadvantage.

After all...

His true strength.

Wasn’t the Floral Dress.

It was, the Flower Language Technique!

’Flower Language Technique · Drunken Hand.’

In an instant, Kadis felt an eerie and uncontrollable urge surging up from the depths of her heart.

She was preparing to pull away again, to dive in for another attack.

But this impulse forcibly controlled her, propelling her fiercely towards the ground in front of Li Chengyi.

Sometimes speed is a tragedy too.

It was but a moment.

Boom!!

Headfirst like a drilling machine, she fiercely burrowed into the ground, and the sharp hook was deeply caught in the soil.

Her entire upper body, like a mole, was half-buried in the earth.

"!!??" What happened!?

Kadis couldn’t comprehend what had gone wrong. By the time she tried to get up, it was already too late.
