Chapter 390: 357 Dead Angel One

Boom.

The green crescent-shaped Flying Yi scimitar heavily smashed into the ground not far away, carving out a deep trench.

"Flying fast, but such power... can’t even pierce my eyelids..."

The shadow quietly stood still, revealing its current form.

It was a strong man covered with black dragon scales and sported a pair of black horns on his forehead.

He wore no clothes; his scales formed an armor-like attire. Behind him, a pair of black bat wings slowly unfolded, with a wingspan of about three meters.

"You!!?" Xie Songning’s face changed dramatically, and she turned to run.

But it was already too late.

With a flash of black light, the man had already reached behind her.

Pfft.

A massive shadow of a dragon flashed by, just a glimpse, and Xie Songning was swallowed in one bite.

In just the blink of an eye, a Feiyi Master comparable to a Grade Six expert disappeared into nothingness.

By now, Barton and his companions had taken the opportunity to flee far away, boarding a flying vehicle and racing into the distance.

"Weak ants, quite fast at running."

A glint of displeasure flashed in the man’s golden dragon eyes. He was about to move forward in pursuit.

Suddenly, in the distance, a white beam of light burst through the clouds, flying towards this place.

That beam of light was like a ribbon falling from the sky, tracing an arc in its path.

At a distance, it seemed to move at a normal pace, but as it neared, the terror of speeds more than ten times that of sound, along with a deafening sonic boom, struck the ground.

The beam of light, like a white crescent scimitar falling from the sky, penetrated the chest of the Shadow Dragon at a speed he couldn’t react to.

Dang!!!

A deafening metallic clang exploded.

The chest of the Shadow Dragon slightly caved in, revealing a wound the size of a fingernail, from which faint black blood seeped out.

The Flying Yi that caused such a wound whimpered, its tip bent and broke, turning into a streak of white light flying off into the distance.

The Flying Yi was much faster than the Shadow Dragon, but far less hard.

After one strike, the opponent was barely affected, while it was significantly damaged.

"Weak, powerless."

The Shadow Dragon casually wiped the wound on his chest, which healed rapidly and disappeared.

But after this delay, Barton and others had escaped without a trace, vastly increasing their lead.

The Shadow Dragon moved to chase, but hesitated, stopping midstep.

Although confident that he was nearly invincible in this world, there were things here capable of hurting him.

Like the terrifying blow dealt on that underground island.

Although only a third of his body was destroyed, continuous attacks of that magnitude still posed the danger of his demise.

Black Sea creatures were said to be immortal, but the consciousness that would awaken next time would not be his own, so, naturally, he was not willing to be killed lightly.

"It seems that just relying on myself, my power is too weak, I need to summon a few more brothers and sisters here."

The Shadow Dragon stopped tracking and floated up, watching the Crocodile-headed Dragon Descendants below wildly attacking the escapees.

"Capture some living creatures. I want to summon my kin to descend upon this world," he instructed in the Shadow Dragon Language.

The possessed crocodile heads below responded with a low growl.

City of the Death Angels.

’Holy Spirit Technique enhances my consciousness power, and the consciousness power determines how much death energy I can control.

The more death energy, the easier it is to create imprints, and it seems there are many other uses.’

Li Chengyi walked step by step up the stairs, heading toward the top floor.

After a full recovery and acquiring the method to obtain imprints, he decided to leave this blind spot quickly.

Because the food he brought was almost gone, and he could only last another three days at most.

Otherwise, he felt he could try eating those moving bone sticks outside.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

His footsteps were clear and audible as Li Chengyi ascended, until he stood in front of the door on the third floor and pushed it open.

Outside was a spacious rectangular open area, the ground gray-white, surrounded by gray iron wire fences.

At the center of the open space, the five-meter tall statue of the four-winged, one-eyed angel still stood quietly in its place.

Besides that, Li Chengyi noticed some white ash in a corner of the open area, seemingly the final traces of the Balance Angel.

"This time, let’s see what effect death energy combined with combat techniques will produce."

With his current physical condition, Soft Qi control realm, and Shanchong Dragon Realm’s ability to rapidly and precisely control death energy, integrating it into the combat technique should be seamless.

Hiss.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chengyi’s body was covered with the most potent Gladiolus Ultimate Floral Dress.

The gorgeous golden Armor quickly unfolded a pale golden ring of fire, encircling the surrounding ten meters.

But no sooner did the ring appear, he paused and switched to the Feilian Floral Dress.

For the Silent Angel, whose strength far surpassed his own, the Absolute Hit Blade was not very effective.

The true key was Dragon Transformation and Fortress.

Hum.

In an instant, Li Chengyi’s body swelled, reaching two and a half meters.

His muscles rapidly bulged as if being inflated, layers of black dragon scales automatically covered his entire body beneath the Floral Dress, and his eyes turned into golden dragon eyes.

Whoosh.

He exhaled, and the black-red sparks with a sulfur smell landed on the ground, burning a charred mark.

After Dragon Transformation, his height of two and a half meters still looked quite small compared to the Silent Angel.

But this state was currently his strongest form.

’Flower Language Technique: Fortress.’

A flash of golden light intensified throughout his body, greatly enhancing strength, physical defense, and mental resilience, reaching nearly eighty percent.

After making all preparations, Li Chengyi was about to take action when he suddenly noticed that the new Ziwei Flower Seal started to emit a fluorescent light.

A trace of subtle information fed back into his mind.

’Passive Floral Luck activated, the effect is: Today, the Silent Angel is in a decreased state due to the permanent loss of a close friend, resulting in a 10% drop in strength, and it will not actively attack anyone approaching. Perhaps you can take advantage of this opportunity...’

"....." So this is how good fortune takes effect?

Li Chengyi’s eyes widened.

After carefully observing the distant Silent Angel and ensuring it remained still, he slowly moved forward until he stood before the angel statue.

Layers of death energy’s grey flames slowly ignited around him.

In Li Chengyi’s hands, a dark purple longsword materialized, its blade sheathed, about one and a half meters in length, covered with various twisted and bizarre floral-relief patterns, with dark red silk threads wrapped around the hilt and a Y-shaped guard made of dark purple crystal.

This was the Secret Sword Yinglong, the special blade he had summoned earlier.

After strengthening it, the cooldown period for the Secret Sword Yinglong had shortened to half a month.

This time, he intended to try it; the Golden Sword wasn’t strong enough, but perhaps this sword would suffice.

Li Chengyi had tested and found that the hardness of the Yinglong Sword’s scabbard was higher than that of the Golden Sword.

Therefore, the blade should also be higher.

Grasping the hilt, the death energy flames naturally covered the scabbard.

Keeping a watchful eye on the Silent Angel’s movements, Li Chengyi looked around and slowly began his search for the Whispering Ring.

He hadn’t forgotten that the reason he’d come upstairs wasn’t to fight this Silent Angel, but to find an artifact to escape from this blind spot.

Quickly, he had circled the entire rooftop without finding any trace of the ring.

Li Chengyi returned to the front of the angel statue.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.

There, around the Silent Angel’s neck, hung a thin cord.

Dangling from the grey cord was a silver-white ring, engraved with the relief of a winged angel.

’The Whispering Ring... is actually here?’

’This thing is a badge of entitlement for humans to use, how could it be on the body of an angel statue?’ Recalling the anomalies of the Balance Angel and the hints from the Evil Flower, Li Chengyi suddenly had a realization.

’It seems that these angels might indeed be made from living humans...’

Looking at the ring hanging from the neck of the Silent Angel, the ring dangling amidst the full curves of a female figure, closely pressed against the skin of the angel.

Li Chengyi felt that simply reaching out to grab it... might not be so easy.

But the ring was right in front of him, and he was reluctant not to try.

Immediately, he used the sword as a lever, carefully extending it forward, slowly lifting towards the Whispering Ring.

The sword’s scabbard wasn’t long enough, so Li Chengyi gently floated, flapping his wings to bring himself closer.

Last time, he was caught off guard, not knowing that Shadow Flash wasn’t possible here, and suffered a setback.

Now that he knew, both the offensive Flower Language Technique and the powers associated with the Black Sea didn’t work well.

This time, he was prepared in advance, knowing that the opponent was much stronger than himself, so his goal was simply to get the Whispering Ring, which made things much easier.

The distance closed in bit by bit.

One meter.

Half a meter.

Thirty centimeters.

Click.

The angel statue suddenly moved.

Its four wings behind gently adjusted their posture, then stood still once more.

Li Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward slowly.

Ten centimeters...

Five centimeters...

Suddenly, he shouted loudly.

"1=1!"

The other side couldn’t refute.

Flower Language Technique: Power of Speech was triggered, followed by the Hand of Obsession!

Boom!!

The Silent Angel’s legs plunged into the rooftop.

The dual use of Flower Language Techniques only lasted a moment.

Li Chengyi watched as it was about to break free.

Clang.

With a flick of his scabbard, Soft Qi Eruption erupted, precisely cutting off the Whispering Ring from its neck, tossing it out over the edge of the building.

In that instant of control, the consciousness power in his mind depleted rapidly, emptying in a flash.

With a severe headache setting in, Li Chengyi had just enough time to leap out from the building.

He had only flown halfway when he saw the Silent Angel swinging its massive claws, flickering twice in quick succession like a frame skip in a movie, appearing right before him.

The grey giant claw smashed down upon him.

Li Chengyi raised the scabbard of the Yinglong Sword to block horizontally.

Boom!!

A thousand-ton Giant Strength erupted on the scabbard.

In mid-air, Li Chengyi was knocked away from the rooftop like a baseball, flying towards the city’s edge with immense force.

Similarly, the Silent Angel was also stripped of a large chunk of its death energy, stuck like glue to Li Chengyi’s sword.

In mid-air, scenery whizzed backwards with a whooshing sound.

Li Chengyi rapidly flapped his wings, trying to control his body.

But the Giant Strength was so fearsome that he couldn’t quickly stop his reversed flight.

’The Silent Angel definitely has a Giant Strength Imprint! This kind of power is not something normal creatures can obtain!’

After flying several kilometers beyond the city area, he finally managed to steady himself and hover in mid-air.

’Luckily, the ring was hooked away, as long as I look for it outside, I should be able to...’

Li Chengyi turned around and swiftly flew back the way he came.

But as soon as he returned to the city area, he saw the Silent Angel holding a broken ring cord, flying up from the ground and returning to the roof.

"....."

This thing can actually leave the roof?

And it can pick up items itself!?

He immediately felt like an idiot.

To get the ring, he was sliced for no reason, and his arms were nearly broken.

And as a result...

’Trouble... Looks like the rooftop isn’t its only territory.’

He hovered near the building where the angel was, looking at the once again peaceful structure, and fell silent.

"From previous tests, it seems that control-type Flower Language isn’t completely ineffective but rather very weak. Combined use can only control it momentarily. So, if I can weaken it to an extremely low level... maybe just like with the Balance Angel, I could control it for a short time."
