Chapter 176: Throwing Technique - Dragon Meteor Shower, Air-to-Ground Crush Bombing! Supersonic Railgun!

Xue Jing tossed a stone in his hand and said to Xue Wan, "Sis, I'm going to run some errands and buy some oranges. Wait here and don't move around."

Xue Wan raised an eyebrow, "Don't think I don't understand. You're my little brother for life, and you want to upgrade? No way. I'm heading onto the ship." She dragged her suitcase toward the boarding gate but paused and turned back, "Be careful."

Xue Jing nodded with a smile.

After Xue Wan left, the cat sitting on Xue Jing's shoulder blinked her emerald-green eyes and asked, "Have you found the Lion Saint Church members?"

"Yeah," Xue Jing replied, gripping the stone in his hand. "Let's go take care of this nuisance." With that, he channeled his swallowing force and used the Dragon Concealed Rod to unleash pure soft force. In an instant, he vanished from his spot without a trace, unnoticed by any bystanders.

...

On the seaside platform railing, two hunched over, towering figures stood on the thin railing with their feet, displaying impeccable balance as if they were standing on flat ground. Due to their excessive weight, the iron railing bent slightly under their feet.

"Bazeb, they're already at the pier, and I've spotted the sacred object. When do we make our move?" asked Beriru, a secret envoy of the Lion Saint Church, with an agitated tone.

His right hand, or rather, his right claw, gripped the stone pier supporting the railing. With just a squeeze, the hard stone pier crumbled like a cake under his grip.

"That damn woman is desecrating the sacred object. After obtaining the power of the Lion God's Mitre, she took on such a perfect form but is content to be a harmless house cat..."

"...Blaspheming the Wild Radiant Light of the War King!"

"Calm down, Beriru," said Bazeb, who stood beside him, in a steady voice. "I'm angry too, but now is not the best time."

"Since they're taking the boat, we'll follow them onboard. It will be easier to make our move at sea without any distractions... That's the right choice."

"Patience, we must be patient... The War King is the god of victory, and patience is part of achieving it."

"Right, what about that little snake?" Bazeb asked.

Hearing this, Beriru scratched his head awkwardly. "Now that we've found the location of the sacred object... I thought that little snake was useless, and I wanted to eat it as a snack."

"But it molted and got away."

Bazeb frowned, "You—"

To change the subject, Beriru waved his hand and said, "Wait! That guy named Xue Jing seems to be gone!"

"It doesn't matter. They'll get on the boat eventually. We'll just keep an eye on the boarding gate."

...

Instead of directly confronting the Lion Saint Church, Xue Jing put on a pair of ordinary glasses and strolled around. Soon, his eyes lit up as he spotted a small, secluded beach below the edge of the pier.

Due to the constant rise and fall of the tides, a lot of marine garbage had washed up on this little beach. Combined with the litter left by careless tourists, the hidden and hard-to-reach location had turned into a garbage dump, emitting a foul odor.

Xue Jing stood on a black reef not far from the beach, and the cat frowned slightly, covering her nose with her right paw. "What are you doing here?"

Xue Jing smiled, "Preparing ammunition."

"Hmm?" The cat was puzzled.

Without explaining further, Xue Jing willed it, and a crackling sound of electricity emanated from his head. Two beautiful dragon horns made of solidified silver lightning appeared.

"Oh? This is your new ability..." The cat's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Suddenly, she felt itchy on her paw.

The Striking Snake Spear, which had been on strike, seemed to be stimulated and was about to grow back.

Unaware of the cat's feelings, Xue Jing extended his hand toward the garbage-filled beach.

"Pili—"

A thick silver lightning bolt extended from his palm and struck the small beach, but it caused no destruction. Instead, the dense electricity caused everything it touched to slowly float into the air.

Soon, all the garbage on the beach was hovering in the air, each piece spaced apart and arranged neatly as if they were an army waiting for inspection.

"...So this is the dragon lightning that can affect gravity?"

The cat marveled.

"Seems fun..."

"Want to give it a try?" Xue Jing smiled and extended a finger toward the cat on his shoulder.

A silver-white lightning bolt shot from his finger and struck the cat, turning into a dense electricity that crawled all over her fur.

The next moment, the cat detached from Xue Jing's shoulder and floated in the air.

"W-wait!" The cat's eyes widened in surprise, and her fur stood on end as she flailed her four paws in the air, resembling a drowning cat.

It took a while for her to get used to the weightlessness of floating in the air, and she curiously experienced true flight.

Xue Jing controlled her movements, making her fly around randomly, then turned to look at the floating garbage in the air and began selecting his 'ammunition.'

"Hmm... This glass bottle is good."

"Enchanted tetanus nails, nice."

"Hmm? Why is there rebar here..."

"...Why is there a pufferfish corpse on the beach?"

...

After Xue Jing finished picking through the trash, the cat was guided back to his shoulder.

"...Is this your idea of ammunition?" The cat looked at the dozens of hard objects floating around Xue Jing, including a thick tree trunk over three meters long.

Each floating object was chained by a silver lightning bolt, with the other end extending from Xue Jing's body.

"Ready, let's go."

Xue Jing smiled as he unleashed a burst of silver-white lightning feathers, causing him to hover in the air and rise to a height of several hundred meters, carrying a bunch of things with him.

At such an altitude, the entire Fengcheng Wharf port, and even all of Fengcheng, came into view.

Naturally, the two Lion Saint Church members standing on the platform railing were clearly visible to him.

"Then, first things first. A little welcome gift."

Xue Jing stood in the air, looking down, and tossed a stone in his hand, his pupils transforming into dark golden vertical pupils.

-- Eye Penetration.

"You two will be the first to taste this move..."

Xue Jing took a deep breath, and within him, the True Dragon roared before shattering and reshaping itself at his will, dividing into two.

His blood ignited and began to boil, his muscles compressed, and his power surged.

Whirlwind Thunder and Shaking Star Fire became one.

Then, he activated his Twin Dragon Power!

Xue Jing clenched his hand, crushing the stone into countless tiny pebbles, and with a focused gaze, he threw them at the two Lion Saint Church members below, mimicking a baseball pitching motion.

"Thunderous Fiery Cauldron...

"--Dragon Meteor Shower!"

With immense power, he hurled the countless tiny pebbles downward!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh---"

The countless pebbles whistled like raindrops as they rushed downward, each one spiraling with a white air wave, carrying an extremely fierce force that caused them to heat up and glow red as they rubbed against the air, resembling a meteor shower from the heavens.

One of the Lion Saint Church members, who had been talking, seemed to sense something and instinctively looked up, his pupils shrinking to their limits.

"Beriru, run!"

He immediately shouted.

However... it was too late.

The hundreds of pebbles, each carrying a spiral air wave, covered the platform where the two were standing.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom---!!"

Like countless bombs exploding, each tiny pebble that hit the ground created a loud blast, blasting holes in the concrete ranging from five to ten centimeters in diameter, quickly turning the entire platform into a pockmarked mess.

As for the two main targets, the Lion Saint Church members, they could only manage to block their heads with their arms.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff---"

Every pebble that hit their bodies penetrated their flesh, spraying blood. Some even pierced right through them. In a short while, their bodies were riddled with bloody holes that would make anyone with trypophobia shudder.

Once everything settled, their clothes, which had been covering their true forms, were completely torn and tattered, revealing their true selves.

Their bodies were covered in patterned fur, their feet resembled the hind legs of a cat-like beast that bent backward, and their faces had the three-part mouth and long whiskers of a cat-like creature, resembling beastmen from a fantasy world.

"What... just happened?"

Bazeb gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain all over his body.

He lowered his arms, which had been protecting his head, and looked up toward the sky.

With his exceptional vision, he immediately spotted a tiny black dot in the high altitude.

His pupils narrowed: "That is..."

Before he could react, the next wave came.

Countless tiny fragments, each carrying a spiral air wave, rained down like a storm!

This time, it wasn't pebbles but... glass shards.

"Run!!!"

Bazeb grabbed his companion, who seemed a bit dazed, and with a few quick, agile leaps, they fled from their original spot.

But Xue Jing, with his Aiming Level 9, had an extraordinary ability to predict their movements, almost like precognition, and he adjusted his aim to cover their escape route.

"Screech, screech, screech, screech, screech, screech---"

While the glass shards lacked the strength of the concrete stones, they were incredibly sharp, and with the powerful force behind them, they easily pierced flesh.

The two Lion Saint Church emissaries were instantly turned into bloody messes.

"Damn it!!!'

The two roared, their muscles rippling like waves as they squeezed out the embedded shards and glass, their wounds rapidly healing.

"Beriru, I'll help you. Let's go!"

Bazeb's eyes flashed with anger as he extended his clawed hand. Beriru let out a low, angry roar like a tiger, leaped, and stepped onto Bazeb's palm.

Then, with a powerful throw and a mighty push from his legs, the two combined their strength, and Beriru shot upward like an arrow, rapidly closing in on Xue Jing, who was hundreds of meters above.

"Oh? This is interesting." Xue Jing smiled.

He reached out and grabbed a rusted, tetanus-enchanted nail that was floating nearby and aimed it at the charging Lion Saint Church member.

Silver lightning appeared in front of the nail, swirling and condensing into ring after ring of spiral arcs, forming dozens of them.

Under the influence of magnetism, the nail vibrated slightly.

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes and extended his thumb, channeling his power into it. With a flick of his thumb, he launched the nail.

The nail shot forward, passing through one ring after another of the spiral arcs. With each ring it passed, the magnetism caused it to spin and accelerate wildly until, after passing through dozens of rings, it seemed to tear through something, releasing a white mist and a loud, piercing whistle.

"Sssssssssssssssssssssss---!!!!"

Sonic Boom!

It had reached supersonic speed!

"Sssssssssssssssssss---!!!!"

With almost no obstruction, the nail instantly pierced the brain of the charging Lion Saint Church member, the sharp air currents even slicing the person in half from head to toe, causing them to explode on the spot.

The supersonic nail continued on its path, and a second later, it hit the ground, blasting through bricks and embedding itself deep into the concrete.
