Chapter 165: A Narrow Escape

Chapter 165: A Narrow Escape

Bang, bang, bang!

The high-explosive shells hit the invisible Omnipotent War Cop, exploding instantly as if they had hit an invisible wall. The figure of the Omnipotent War Cop was revealed.

This time, he flew at full speed, and the bullets were deflected by his Winged Protection, only slightly slowing him down.

The Omnipotent War Cop's face remained cold and ruthless.

He extended his spiritual force field, enhancing all his senses and allowing him to interfere with matter within its range using his mind, similar to the effect of kinetic energy. When Qinghong fell into the spiritual force field, the Omnipotent War Cop immediately noticed the tiny snake and looked at it with confusion.

He chose to ignore it and tried to crash into Qinghong directly.

The next moment—

Qinghong's body instantly expanded, first from a few centimeters to several meters, and then in the blink of an eye, it grew into a gigantic python more than twenty meters long. The middle segment of its snake-like body was over a meter thick, and its head rose high, its fangs glinting with a sharp, cold light. This behemoth stood in the way.

The green, golden, and silver scales reflected a metallic luster, and a terrifying aura spread out.

Qinghong opened its mouth and spat out a thick bolt of lightning.

Boom!

A thunderous roar filled the air as the lightning bolt struck the Omnipotent War Cop directly, causing him to stagnate. The black wings, vibrating at a high frequency, protected his head and face.

Immediately afterward, a giant tail swept him away.

Qinghong's tail was originally extremely heavy, capable of flattening a car with a single strike. In the moment of this sweeping strike, gravity suddenly changed, and the weight of the tail increased severalfold.

The Omnipotent War Cop crashed into the building across the street, leaving a gaping hole in the wall.

Pedestrians nearby screamed and ran in all directions.

Ji Xinghuo paid no heed to the fleeing crowd. Without hesitation, he rushed through the hole in the wall and saw the Omnipotent War Cop lying amid the rubble. This place had been a high-end clothing store, and the employees and customers had fled in terror. However, two or three unfortunate individuals had been struck by falling debris and lay on the ground, crying out in pain.

He ignored the injured and raised his knife, slashing at the enemy amid the ruins.

Electric lights shone on the Thunder Chase War Blade, and the three arc rings were fully activated, making the blade incredibly sharp and emitting visible bolts of lightning.

With this strike, Ji Xinghuo held nothing back and poured all his strength into it.

Clang!

A burst of noise rang out.

The war blade paused in midair, caught by a giant black claw. The Omnipotent War Cop had stood up, and the upper half of his body was now exposed, with thick black hair covering his arms, torso, and face, making him look like a two-meter-tall giant wolf. His eyes were scarlet, and his hands had transformed into massive, sharp claws.

Ultimate Ability: Shadow Moon Wolf!

Ji Xinghuo's heart skipped a beat. As the arch-nemesis of the Titanium Cobalt Dragon, the Omnipotent War Cop was the ace profession of the American Federation, and this profession template was famous worldwide.

The two core abilities of the Omnipotent War Cop were Winged Man's Feather and Shadow Moon Wolf.

Winged Man's Feather was mostly derived from the Winged People of the Sky Feather King's Court. There was a certain probability that a feather-like exotic substance could be collected from the corpses of third-order and above Winged People. Any race had the opportunity to fuse with it. After a successful fusion, one could use stellar power to unfold a pair of energy wings, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities, and achieving extremely fast flight speed.

These wings granted the Omnipotent War Cop superb mobility.

As for Shadow Moon Wolf, it was a transformative ability with the primary effect of strengthening the body, comprehensively enhancing the Omnipotent War Cop's strength, defense, and reaction speed. It also granted him a recovery ability that was even faster than extreme self-healing, making his potential extremely high and surpassing that of the Titanium Cobalt Dragon's Lightning Giant.

Additionally, there was the spiritual force field, which enhanced his overall perception and allowed him to interfere with matter using his mind.

Laser Eye allowed for long-range directional attacks.

Inferno Blast was a close-range explosive ability.

Lightning Storm caused large-scale lightning damage and could also interfere with enemies and control the battlefield.

The Omnipotent War Cop was indeed omnipotent, just like their profession name, with no apparent weaknesses.

Furthermore, the Omnipotent War Cop was compatible with many abilities. The higher the rank, the more functional abilities they possessed, making them extremely powerful.

Ji Xinghuo tried to pull back his war blade.

The blade rubbed against the sharp claws, sparking and slicing open the enemy's palm, but no blood flowed.

The wolf-like mouth of the Omnipotent War Cop revealed bloodthirsty fangs, and his empty right claw curled into a fist, instantly condensing high-temperature flames that blasted into Ji Xinghuo's chest.

Boom!

That punch was too fast.

Ji Xinghuo's microscopic perception detected the attack, but his body couldn't keep up with his thoughts. He didn't even have time to drop his knife before the sheer force and speed overwhelmed him, rendering any martial arts techniques useless. Even precognition couldn't stop it, and he was immediately punched and sent flying.

His upper garment turned to ashes, and a large fist mark was indented on his chest.

Before he could hit the ground, the Omnipotent War Cop caught up to him.

An invisible spiritual force contracted from all directions, binding Ji Xinghuo's limbs and preventing him from touching the ground to gain leverage.

The Omnipotent War Cop waved his sharp claws, and a levitating car in his path was instantly shredded to pieces.

The wounds on his palms had already healed, and his claws pierced Ji Xinghuo, but they were met with resistance.

The green, gold, and silver scales were incredibly hard, and the terrifying sharp claws could only cut a few centimeters in before they were stuck. However, Ji Xinghuo was slammed heavily to the ground.

Bang!

Half of the street trembled.

Ji Xinghuo's body smashed through the concrete, and the Omnipotent War Cop ignored the numbing electricity flowing through his hands. He frantically waved his sharp claws, leaving more than a dozen hideous wounds on Ji Xinghuo's body. Silver and red viscous blood flowed out, and Ji Xinghuo was pressed down, unable to get up.

The Omnipotent War Cop pressed down on Ji Xinghuo's head, and high temperatures gathered in his palm. He unleashed an Inferno Blast right in Ji Xinghuo's face.

Boom!

A ball of flame and red light exploded, blowing out a pit four or five meters in diameter. Ji Xinghuo lay in the pit, his head charred black and his hair completely destroyed.

This defensive power is even stronger than that of a Titanium Cobalt Dragon without its power armor!

The Omnipotent War Cop leaped up, flying dozens of meters into the sky. He shot lasers from his eyes at Ji Xinghuo while flapping his wings vigorously to accelerate his descent, aiming to deliver a deadly blow with the help of gravitational acceleration.

However, he was struck by a thick bolt of lightning as soon as he began his descent.

Qinghong turned back and struck the Omnipotent War Cop with its tail again, sending him flying hundreds of meters away and crashing into the upper floors of a skyscraper.

Ji Xinghuo jumped out of the pit.

Staring in the direction of the Omnipotent War Cop, his expressionless face twisted as he popped his displaced bones back into place, and the wounds on his body healed at a visible rate.

Only the burns on his face were more severe, and they would take a while to recover.

Only a tiny bit of his hair remained, the roots singed.

"Hu..."

Ji Xinghuo took a flash step across the street and retrieved his fallen Thunder Chase War Blade.

At the same time, the Omnipotent War Cop also flew out of the building, hovering in the air and looking down at Ji Xinghuo. The black wings on his back vibrated, keeping him suspended in mid-air, and streams of pitch-black stellar power oozed out from his body like black smoke.

External release of stellar power!

Ji Xinghuo coldly harrumphed. As expected of a strong Legend ranker at the second stage.

The biggest qualitative change for an Abomination advancing to the Legend rank lies in their stellar power. The stellar power transforms from a plasma state to a gaseous state, marking the first stage of Legend rank. When the density of stellar power increases further, it can be manifested and radiated outward, signifying the second stage of Legend rank!

The Omnipotent War Cop looked down at Ji Xinghuo, then suddenly turned his head to glance at the horizon. He didn't have much time left.

He could only stay for another 30 seconds, at most.

"Half a minute."

"Enough to kill you."

The Omnipotent War Cop spread his hands wide, and thick clouds covered the sky within a radius of several hundred meters. Howling winds blew, and in the midst of the storm, hundreds of bolts of lightning brewed for a second before falling like raindrops.

Thunder rumbled.

Silver-white lightning bolts fell from the sky, striking Ji Xinghuo on the ground.

Even though Ji Xinghuo possessed a rotating magnetic field and could manipulate lightning, facing another's lightning attack would still injure him, albeit less severely.

He didn't want to directly withstand the lightning, so he took a flash step and dodged into the ground floor of a building on the street.

The Omnipotent War Cop hadn't expected the lightning storm to kill Ji Xinghuo; he created the clouds to obscure the battlefield, interfere with Ji Xinghuo's line of sight, and avoid being captured by too many cameras.

He dove down in the midst of the lightning storm.

The lightning bolts converged on the Omnipotent War Cop, causing his entire body to shine. Every strand of his wolflike hair danced with electricity, and his speed increased drastically. His spiritual force field locked onto Ji Xinghuo's position, and he rammed into the building, claws extended as he swiped at Ji Xinghuo.

Ji Xinghuo remained unfazed and fearless. Instead of retreating, he charged toward his enemy.

The Thunder Chase War Blade was raised above his head, and he slashed downward.

Boom...

The two clashed head-on without any fancy moves, and Ji Xinghuo was sent flying backward. Several massive wounds appeared on his chest, deep enough to see the bones, almost tearing him open.

The Omnipotent War Cop was also injured. The war blade had sliced through his fingers and was stuck in the palm of his hand.

In the next moment,

Ji Xinghuo ignored his injuries and, in the midst of his backward flight, stepped on the ground.

Instant Step!

His figure disappeared as he forcibly reversed the inertia of his retreat. He spat out a mouthful of blood and reappeared in front of the Omnipotent War Cop, just two or three steps away. The Omnipotent War Cop was also retreating, and upon seeing Ji Xinghuo's return, he reacted swiftly, lifting his hand to deliver an Inferno Blast punch.

Ji Xinghuo's hands were empty, but that didn't hinder him from launching a fierce attack.

Instant Step again!

The Omnipotent War Cop's Inferno Blast punch landed in thin air, causing him to pause in confusion. He couldn't understand how a punch that was guaranteed to hit at such a close distance could be dodged.

And once again, Ji Xinghuo closed in, the two of them almost face to face.

The muscles on his right arm bulged, and the rotating magnetic field had already reached its limit. Electricity danced across his scaly skin, converging into his fist as he punched out.

Bang!

The combination of cannon momentum and magnetic field amplification resulted in a full-force strike! Ji Xinghuo's fist pierced through the Winged Protection and slammed into the Omnipotent War Cop's face. Dazzling electric lights and explosive cannon momentum sent all the power crashing into his head.

The Omnipotent War Cop let out a painful howl as his body flipped and crashed through the wall of the clothing store.

Outside, Qinghong cooperatively struck again with its giant tail.

Boom!

The Omnipotent War Cop was slammed into the ground, and Qinghong quickly coiled around him, wrapping its snakelike body around the enemy multiple times, leaving only his head exposed. It then used Gravity Mutation to increase its weight by several times, binding this fearsome enemy like an iron chain.

Ji Xinghuo endured the pain that felt like his body was about to fall apart and used Instant Step twice in a row. He picked up the fallen Thunder Chase War Blade and slashed at the Omnipotent War Cop, who was wrapped up by Qinghong.

The blade pointed directly at the enemy's neck.

A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the Omnipotent War Cop, and he roared. Thick black smoke billowed from his body, and his vast and profound stellar power erupted wildly, prying open Qinghong's coils.

Taking the opportunity, he flapped his wings and flew into the sky. As he left, he threw a resentful glance back.

Ji Xinghuo's war blade was a step too slow, and he watched helplessly as the Omnipotent War Cop ascended into the sky. Through his magnetic field perception, he sensed the enemy's magnetic field weakening as he entered invisibility, and his speed increased rapidly. Within seconds, he had flown out of the sensing range and disappeared without a trace.

Clang!

Ji Xinghuo threw away his war blade and plopped down on the ground, a painful expression on his face.
