Chapter 494: Section 279: Only Speed Is Unbreakable

The dragon-man youth focused more of his attention on the Golden Flower Steel Saw.

This Golden Level weapon was too threatening for him.

By now, the dragon-man youth had already felt the limits of his golden silk chain armor.

“There’s no comparing the attack power of a Golden Flower Steel Saw and Xiong Ju. Perhaps after this battle, I should consider a weapon that suits me,” the dragon-man youth mused to himself.

He couldn’t help but feel troubled.

If he engaged Xiong Ju in close combat, he would have to face the Golden Flower Steel Saw.

If he engaged Xiong Ju in a distant fight, though he could temporarily escape the threat of the Golden Flower Steel Saw, he would have to face the constant interference of the Little Thunder God Flying Hammer. Moreover, his wandering full-body armor could block most of the power of the alchemy arrows.

The dragon-man youth gradually defended more than he attacked.

It seemed the Golden Flower Steel Saw hadn’t broken his defense, but it had actually caused multiple damages to his golden silk chain armor.

If it kept accumulating, there would eventually be a moment when the golden silk chain armor would completely collapse.

The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for the dragon-man youth.

“I can’t keep going on like this!”

The dragon-man youth made up his mind, and during a clash, he actively confronted the Golden Flower Steel Saw.

Combat Skill — Blast Fist.

Combat Skill — Riot.

His fist struck the side of the Golden Flower Steel Saw, generating a reactive force.

Using two combat skills at once, he burst back.

In a few seconds, he had increased the distance between himself and Xiong Ju to over 30 meters.

Xiong Ju immediately pursued, meanwhile mentally maneuvering the Little Thunder God Flying Hammer to smash towards the dragon-man youth.

The dragon-man youth took a deep breath and shouted out loud.

The roar shook the surroundings, causing ripples in the air.

The Little Thunder God Flying Hammer fell to the ground, and Xiong Ju also experienced a brief rigidness.

It was the youth’s magic-like Spell — Dragon Roar.

Using the opportunity created by the magic-like spell, the dragon-man youth took another deep breath and loudly declared, “Xiong Ju, let me show you my ultimate form.”

Having said that, he used the Blood Core to mutate many smoking Ring Mounds on his body.

Xiong Ju was intimidated by the dragon-man youth’s words and did not attack; instead, he stood his ground, ready for anything.

He had received relevant intelligence.

This form of the dragon-man youth had been exposed in front of the public during the great melee on Twin Eyes Island.

Since the Saber Gang had investigated his performance in the great melee on Twin Eyes Island, they naturally wouldn’t miss the intelligence on the strongest form.

Click, click, click.

Two huge Ring Mounds behind the dragon-man youth ejected yellow flames.

The next moment, the dragon-man youth used the combat skill Riot.

The power of the combat skill was ejected outward through the Ring Mounds on his back, instantaneously generating a tremendous propulsion.

The dragon-man youth, like an arrow released from a bow, rapidly charged towards Xiong Ju.

Xiong Ju took a deep breath and assumed a defensive counterattack stance.

He gripped the Golden Flower Steel Saw with both hands, positioning it at the left side of his body.

If the dragon-man youth showed any flaws during his attack, giving him a slight chance, he would chop horizontally, aiming to cut down the dragon-man youth to the ground.

“Fast, even faster; I can still be faster!” the amber dragon eyes of the dragon-man youth blazed with fighting spirit.

Just as the dragon-man youth was about to crash into Xiong Ju, a third smoking Ring Mound suddenly appeared on his back.

The added smoking Ring Mound, along with the combat skill Riot, boosted the speed of the dragon-man youth yet again!

Just as Xiong Ju was adjusting to the dragon-man youth’s sudden increase in speed, the next moment, the dragon-man youth accelerated again, causing him to instantly lose his target.

“Damn, where is he?”

“On the right!!”

By the time Xiong Ju reacted, the dragon-man youth had already launched a surprise attack on his right side.

“Damn it!” Xiong Ju’s eyes were filled with rage; his arm muscles bulging as he swung the Golden Flower Steel Saw with full force.

The Golden Flower Steel Saw was a two-handed weapon, quite heavy.

Previously, Xiong Ju’s defensive counterattack stance had positioned the Golden Flower Steel Saw at his body’s left side.

This meant that Xiong Ju’s right side was completely open and weakly defended.

However, this was not a flaw in the defensive counterattack stance.

The subtlety of this action was precisely to leave the right side open and lure the enemy into attacking.

When an attack came, Xiong Ju would swing the Golden Flower Steel Saw in a wide arc to his right side.

With enough distance to fully exert force, this sweep would be tremendously powerful.

But the speed suddenly displayed by the dragon-man youth surpassed the limits expected by Xiong Ju.

He even lost sight of the dragon-man youth for a moment!

Xiong Ju couldn’t react in time, and the deliberately set trap was too slow to activate.

The dragon-man youth’s surprise attack turned the trap into Xiong Ju’s vulnerability!

Xiong Ju roared in his heart, as if time slowed down for him during this moment.

He watched as the dragon-man youth’s fist headed toward him, but the Golden Flower Steel Saw on his left side had just started!

Xiong Ju was ultimately a veteran Silver Level warrior with extensive combat experience, and every part of his body could be used as a weapon.

In the critical moment, Xiong Ju suddenly relaxed his arms; his right shoulder muscles became firm, using his right shoulder to ram the dragon-man youth.

But the dragon-man youth had already deployed the combat skill Blast Fist.

Once one resorted to implementing a combat skill, the other had no time.

Naturally, in this collision, Xiong Ju was at a disadvantage.

Bang.

Xiong Ju’s right shoulder was in extreme pain, causing his body to fall backward, completely destabilizing his balance.

Golden Flower Steel Saw finally swept through his swing.

During the swinging process, Xiong Ju cleverly utilized the weight of the weapon to steady his own shaky center of gravity.

The effect was immediate!

Xiong Ju’s experience was indeed profound; his martial arts foundation was very solid, and he quickly recovered from any exposed flaws.

However, after he steadied himself, he lost sight of the Dragon-man youth in his field of vision.

He quickly turned his neck, looking around.

The Dragon-man youth suddenly appeared behind him.

Combat Skill—Blast Fist.

The fist struck Xiong Ju’s lower back, shattering the wandering full body armor into countless splashes.

Thus, the power of the Blast Fist was greatly reduced.

It then hit Xiong Ju’s leather armor.

Xiong Ju’s defense was also very robust; the Dragon-man youth’s Blast Fist did not penetrate his leather armor.

It only caused him to expend fighting energy and a feeling of pain.

Xiong Ju quickly turned around, but he only managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Dragon-man youth’s red figure.

The speed of the Dragon-man youth was so fast that Xiong Ju couldn’t adapt in time!

Xiong Ju instinctively made the most correct response.

He simply squatted down, using the Golden Flower Steel Saw in his hand as a shield in front of him.

His ears were filled with the continuous explosions caused by the Dragon-man youth.

Yet his eyes had difficulty locking onto the Dragon-man youth; for the most part, he could only catch a glimpse of a red figure.

The Dragon-man youth used the Blast Fist repeatedly, continuously bombarding Xiong Ju.

Xiong Ju himself wore leather armor, and with the wandering full body armor layered on top, his defense was exceptionally outstanding.

The assault by the Dragon-man youth was not very effective.

Xiong Ju successfully stabilized his stance and immediately used his spirit to summon the Little Thunder God Flying Hammer.

The Flying Hammer pursued the Dragon-man youth.

Although the Dragon-man youth was very fast, he was still locked onto by the Flying Hammer.

He deliberately kept a distance before charging from behind towards Xiong Ju.

Xiong Ju quickly realized and hurriedly adjusted his defensive direction.

The Little Thunder God Flying Hammer was relentlessly pursuing the Dragon-man youth from behind.

Just as the Dragon-man youth was about to collide with Xiong Ju, he suddenly dodged, nimbly avoiding the collision.

But the Little Thunder God Flying Hammer behind him could not adjust in time and went in a straight line, smashing directly onto Xiong Ju’s head.

Seeing this, the Dwarf leader couldn’t help but cover his face.

Xiong Ju had only practiced with the Little Thunder God Flying Hammer for one night.

Although the Flying Hammer was convenient and quick to use, as the fight grew more intense, Xiong Ju’s Basic Level ability was no longer effective.

Random use would only end up harming himself.

The Dragon-man youth had already anticipated the relationship between Xiong Ju and the Little Thunder God Flying Hammer, thus he made such a tactical move.

He succeeded.

Xiong Ju was harshly hit by the Flying Hammer, exposing a flaw in his defense in an instant.

The Dragon-man youth was already prepared, immediately seizing the opportunity to launch a fierce assault.

Combat Skill—Machine Gun Bullet Fist!

Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang…

The Dragon-man youth’s fists poured down like a torrential rain, continuously striking Xiong Ju’s body.

Xiong Ju’s wandering full body armor blocked the punches from the Dragon-man youth, causing water to splash everywhere.

Soon, the shadows of the Dragon-man youth’s fists increased.

The solid Dragon Fist penetrated the Water Armor, striking Xiong Ju’s leather armor.

After the wandering full body armor was overwhelmed, although it could recover,

it was best in a state not under attack.

Right now, as Xiong Ju was continuously pummeled by the Dragon-man youth, the recovery speed of the wandering full body armor couldn’t keep up with the destructive speed of the Dragon Fist.

This type of armor, which uses flowing water instead of conventional metal, while having the advantages of being portable and covert, also meant that it had its shortcomings.

Once faced with high-frequency attacks like the Machine Gun Bullet Fist, the wandering full body armor struggled to provide protective defense.

Xiong Ju’s leather armor was only at the Silver Level.

Although it blocked the majority of the Machine Gun Bullet Fist’s power, it still made Xiong Ju very uncomfortable.

In that moment, he deeply felt the pain of being bombarded by the barrage of punches.

“The current situation favors the Long Fu squad leader!”

“Xiong Ju is getting pressed down and beaten.”

The audience watched unblinkingly; this thrilling duel with constantly changing situations kept them highly engaged and thoroughly entertained.

The Spring Boxer, seeing this, was also brightened and thought, “Long Fu squad leader’s Machine Gun Bullet Fist is closely related to my Chaotic Bullet Punch.”

“Thinking about it, Long Fu squad leader’s and my fighting styles are actually very similar.”

“When can I beat up Xiong Ju like he does?”

Spring Boxer, being a soldier, disdained gang members like Xiong Ju.

Normally, he and people like Xiong Ju had many frictions. Many small and large conflicts had accumulated.

Compared to Xiong Ju, the Spring Boxer undoubtedly felt more relatable watching the Dragon-man youth.

After the Dragon-man youth exhibited the transformation of the smoky Ring Mound, his speed surged.

There is a Martial Fight philosophy in the Eastern Empire—Among all combat skills, speed is unbeatable!

Once the Dragon-man youth surpassed Xiong Ju in terms of speed, he completely turned the tables, firmly taking control and pressing Xiong Ju down.

Xiong Jun found it very difficult even to catch a glimpse of the Dragon-man youth’s figure, let alone counterattack.

For the time being, he could only passively defend, turning into a wooden stake, enduring the Dragon-man youth’s relentless punches.
