Chapter 276: 256 reverse hand 4

Among the five major Floral Dresses, Feilian has evolved the least and offers the weakest bodily enhancements.

Apart from Purple Magnolia, wearing any other Floral Dress would be stronger than Feilian.

And...

If he wanted to dispose of the man before him at the fastest speed...

Li Chengyi’s gaze turned cold, and he instantly made a decision.

’Gladiolus.’

Hum!

In an instant, the Dragon Floral Dress on his body rapidly disintegrated, transformed, turning into countless Golden Gladiolus Petals.

The petals coalesced, forming the Gladiolus Ultimate Floral Dress.

Golden spikes like tree branches covered and extended from his body, piercing out in all directions.

Above his head, a crescent moon-like Golden Sword Blade stretched upwards from his head to his waist, resembling a high ponytail of golden braids from afar.

Whoosh.

A circle of invisible airflow suddenly radiated outward from him.

Ten meters.

A ring of transparent golden flames slowly ignited.

As the Floral Dress augmented his body, a wild power surged incessantly within Li Chengyi.

His skin, muscles, and bones became tougher, and his recovery speed greatly improved.

The enhancement provided by the Ultimate Gladiolus was a standard full five times defense!

Add to that Li Chengyi, who had already completed the weak stage of Dragon Transformation, was already astonishingly talented.

After the enhancement, his stature subtly increased, growing from two meters to slowly extending to two and a half meters...

His arms, thighs, shoulders, and neck all thickened significantly compared to before.

"Is this your real ace in the pack?"

Han Qi did not take advantage of the situation to strike, as the time it took Li Chengyi to change his armor seemed instant to outsiders.

The majority of the process was more about Li Chengyi’s own sense of time.

"It looks good. But... just because it looks good doesn’t mean you’ll win!!"

Before the words ended.

Black light bloomed from the heavy sword in Han Qi’s hand, enveloping his entire figure.

Chi!

The black light shot toward Li Chengyi like lightning.

In that instant, the speed escalated insanely.

Five times!

Eight times!

Ten times!!

The edges of the black light rubbed against the air, igniting flames.

Within a distance of ten meters, this burst of speed could no longer be described as terrifying.

The horrifying gravitational force brought on by the ultra-short-term acceleration was enough to turn a physically weaker person into minced meat instantly.

But the black light seemed to evade this problem.

In an instant, all one could see was a line of red flames, hurtling towards Li Chengyi.

In the blink of an eye.

The black light appeared to Li Chengyi as if it were in slow motion, slowing down by several times, closing in on him.

’Destiny Hit Blade!’

With no hesitation, Li Chengyi grasped his sword and slashed forward.

His speed wasn’t fast; compared to the terrifying speed of the black light, it was barely approaching the speed of sound.

But from the moment he activated the Flower Language Technique, the moment the Golden Sword was raised, everything was already set in stone.

Bang!!!!!

Suddenly, a burst of flame exploded around them, forming a halo of light.

A violent collision produced a blast of air, sweeping up gravel, creating a vast rain of sand that scattered around.

In that moment, the two terrifying powers made contact, counteracting and colliding with each other.

Tens of hundreds of tons of Giant Strength were concentrated on the tiny edge of the blade, resulting in an unmatched cutting force.

However, Li Chengyi’s Golden Sword couldn’t withstand the tremendous impact and broke on the spot, spinning away into the night sky.

’Six Extremes - Flare!’

Han Qi leapt out from the black light, tapping his heavy sword on the ground.

A huge burst of white light exploded, instantly covering the area within dozens of meters, including Li Chengyi itself.

But at the same time.

Li Chengyi raised his hand to the ground.

’Flower Language Technique: Fortress!’

With a thunderous crash.

A colossal golden wall, thirty meters long, nine meters high, and nine meters thick, burst forth from the earth.

The wall was semi-transparent and made of an unknown material.

The white light came into contact with the front of the wall.

The two were locked in a stalemate, with the glow being completely blocked on the outside.

But the fortress’s role was far from just creating a strong defensive wall.

Besides forging a section of a powerful defense, it significantly heightened strength, physical constitution, and mental and physical resilience. The effect lasted for a full hour, with a cooldown of just one hour.

One could say that at this moment, the First Floriography of Gladiolus was the real top-tier defensive ability.

Already strong-bodied and augmented by a factor of five, Li Chengyi’s body once again swelled under the influence of the Floral Fortress; he grew taller and larger.

The golden Floral Dress on him thickened as well and even began to emit a faint golden glow.

The instant the Flower Language Technique took effect, his size changed once more, reaching three meters.

If one included the protruding spikes.

Overall, Li Chengyi’s stature seemed to have reached six or seven meters in height at this point.

He looked like a golden hill shining with light, surrounded by golden flames.

After a while, the Floral Fortress slowly faded and disappeared.

The wall’s illusion didn’t seem to last long.

But Li Chengyi was unconcerned; he valued the amplification effect more. The present fortress could augment all his attributes except speed, making it a technique of divine proportions.

At that moment, countless vast forces surged within him, as if they were restless magma yearning to burst free from his body’s constraints.

"Come at me again!" Seeing this change, even an old-era leader as experienced as Han Qi couldn’t help but turn pale.

This special technique had entirely surpassed his realm of knowledge.

At once, he pointed his sword blade downward, touching the ground.

"Starfall!"

Hum!

A flash of white light.

A ring of white light swiftly spread out from him.

Within the light, several new white crystal spikes emerged from thin air, six in total.

These six crystal spikes were different from the previous ones; they were sharper and more refined, with faint silvery light twinkling at their tips.

"Go!"

Han Qi withdrew himself backward, flipping onto his heavy sword and rising into the sky.

The remaining six crystal spikes flew straight at Li Chengyi.

Every spike, although not as terrifying as ten times the speed of sound, still had four to five times the speed.

At Li Chengyi’s current speed, he was simply unable to keep up.

But it didn’t matter.

He raised his hand to condense the Golden Sword, and the Flower Language Technique activated.

The Blade of Destiny reappeared.

"Within ten meters, I am Destiny!!"

As soon as he raised the Golden Sword, it attracted all six crystal spikes like a magnet.

Clang!!!

The spikes collided with the Golden Sword, the sounds merging into one, creating a ring of invisible sound waves that reverberated and spread out.

But oddly enough, at the moment of impact, the crystals automatically exploded, bursting into rippling white waves.

Hissss hissss hissss hissss hissss hissss!

A total of six ripples, covering more than ten meters, hit Li Chengyi directly.

Where the ripples passed, a vast expanse of frost formed out of thin air, freezing the Floral Dress.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chengyi was turned into a massive ice sculpture.

Even the ground within a ten-meter radius around him turned into a frozen wasteland.

"Initiate the Rainbow Sword Formation!" Han Qi commanded from midair, lifting his hand again.

Trails of black light split and emerged beside him, floating in the sky.

The black light formed a huge circle, centered on him, aiming downwards.

Hum.

In the middle of the circle, countless tiny colorful lights rapidly condensed and lit up.

The colored light was comprised of colorful points that scattered from the surrounding black light, gathering together.

"Xiezhi, initiate full mode!" Han Qi’s voice was cold.

"Initiation beginning," replied the Flying Yi. "Please enter the key phrase."

"Six Extremes - Starfall!"

Boom!!!

The moment the words fell.

Around Han Qi, cylindrical columns of colored light crashed down from the surrounding circle, striking right at Li Chengyi.

At that very moment, Li Chengyi broke free from the frozen state, looking up at the colored light defiantly.

"I... am Destiny!!!"

Clang!!

In an instant, the Golden Sword condensed.

Li Chengyi raised his hand, slashing at the colored light.

Booming!!

Colored light engulfed everything, covering and dissolving all within a radius of more than ten meters.

How could a weapon block an attack made of light beams!!

No sooner had Han Qi had this thought than he suddenly heard a faint cracking sound.

He followed the sound and his expression stiffened.

For the first time, his pupils constricted sharply beneath the helmet.

"What is this!!!??"

"How... is this possible!!?"

Beneath him at an angle, Li Chengyi, supposedly to be dissolved by the colorful laser, was now holding the Golden Sword, diverting all the surrounding colored light towards its blade, sparking fierce friction.

The Golden Sword was rapidly dissolving. Dripping.

But at this point, nobody cared about that anymore.

Everyone.

Han Qi.

The Sand Thieves.

The six from Green Tower at a greater distance.

Even the senior military officials from Sutan.

All of them were staring intently at Li Chengyi at this moment.

He was holding the Golden Sword, twisting all the colored light beams within ten meters towards the blade.

The dazzling light, as blinding as the sun, bathed him in a spectrum of colors.

In his hand, it was as if he had grasped a ray of light!

A rainbow light that was supposed to annihilate him completely!!

Green Tower.

"What.... on earth is this!!?"

The ever-composed smile on Mistin’s face had finally, slowly faded.

He stared intently at everything happening on the screen, watching Li Chengyi waving his sword single-handedly, tossing the colored light beam aside with a casual flick.

It wasn’t just him.

Simon representing Utopia was also stunned.

He couldn’t comprehend how the high-energy destructive laser was twisted and concentrated at a single point in that instant.

That wasn’t all.

The real-time speed and power data estimates displayed beneath the surveillance feed had already silenced the group when Han Qi’s crystal spikes at ten times the speed of sound appeared.

But now, as Li Chengyi grasped the light, it utterly shook the six people, disrupting their composure with shock.

"Perhaps it’s some sort of special refraction technique..." Tine from Andelian Technology suggested hesitantly.

"This phenomenon looks shocking, but if you think about it, it’s not that hard to achieve. So..."

"Foolish! It is achievable, but that’s in a specialized experimental setting. In that instant just now, did you see that man use any special techniques?" Huang Zhiheng spoke gravely, his gaze intense.

"Moreover, can you be certain that the colored laser cannon didn’t include other types of attacks?" he continued.

The others remained silent.

The conference room was dead quiet.

Only the faint hissing of electronic circuits from the surveillance footage could be heard.

After a while.

"I’ve decided to suspend our strike operations," declared Deputy Mayor Midlan.

"Seconded."

"Agreed."

"In favor!"

"There should never be eternal enemies in this world; perhaps we should make contact with the hero who stood against Star Lake," proposed Mayor Cabey Westlink.

"Excellent idea!"

"The enemy of our enemy is our friend; as long as we show our sincerity, he should consider accepting our friendship," Mistin quickly said.

"...." Amidst the successive remarks of the others,

Major General Simon remained silent.

He watched Li Chengyi on the monitor quietly, faintly recognizing his identity.

’That characteristic of a weapon deteriorating into petals and disappearing after damage...’

’The Garden of Fate... huh?’
