Chapter 449: True Power
Chapter 449: True Power
Due to the distance, the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Warrior did not witness how Kong Ling died. By the time he arrived, Kong Ling had vanished, and Ji Xinghuo was unharmed.
This made him wary.
The shuttle had rushed over at its fastest speed, taking less than a star mark and only about 40 star breaths. Killing Kong Ling in such a short time was something even he couldn't do.
With Kong Ling's speed, it would be difficult for him to catch up.
Yet, Kong Ling was dead, her signal gone, and the air still carried the scent of blood.
Ji Xinghuo naturally didn't answer, sizing up this incredibly sturdy dragon warrior. Over two meters tall, he wore a set of intricate and heavy armor, and in his hand, he gripped a specially made long spear with a broad spearhead, similar to a "mace".
The Titanium Cobalt Dragon's aura was vast and mountainous, with pure dragon veins and robust and surging stellar power, putting Ji Xinghuo on guard.
Tier 6 peak!
This dragon warrior was already qualified to challenge a Star Shepherd.
Of course, he only had the qualification; taking the first step on a long journey of ten thousand li was one thing, but the probability of eventually becoming a Star Shepherd was extremely slim, perhaps less than one in a thousand.
Such a powerful being would be considered a top-tier fighter even in the Titanium Cobalt family, yet Ji Xinghuo had never heard of him.
He had no impression of this person.
"Are you from the Titanium Cobalt family?" Ji Xinghuo asked.
"Xiao Yu clan, Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui," the dragon warrior introduced himself. "You'd better answer my question: why did you kill Kong Ling?"
There were three Titanium Cobalt families in the True Dragon Empire, and they were all Dragon King families, each possessing a dragon domain.
They were the Yuan Magnetism clan, the Xiao Yu clan, and the Thunder Light clan.
The strength of the three Titanium Cobalt families was roughly equal, with the Xiao Yu clan located in the "Jikuang Dragon Domain" in the north and the Thunder Light clan in the "Xuan Tian Dragon Domain" at the heart of the empire.
Ji Xinghuo didn't fully believe him; this so-called Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui might also be a fake identity. Facing the other party's questioning, he replied casually, "No reason, I killed her because I felt like it, do I need a reason?"
There was no point in reasoning with these two, who were obviously working together.
Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui's eyes darkened, and he said angrily, "Are all the people from the Yuan Magnetism clan as arrogant as you?"
"So you know my identity." Ji Xinghuo countered, "What's your relationship with Kong Ling?"
"Friends." Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui replied.
"Are you also representing that so-called master, here to buy my Extinction Dragon?" Ji Xinghuo looked up at the sky, but couldn't see anything.
This was what he feared the most.
That Star Shepherd didn't dare to show his face and couldn't appear in the Yuan Magnetism Domain.
When a Star Shepherd passed through a stargate, it would create a huge disturbance that couldn't be hidden, inevitably alerting the guardians of the Rock King family. Therefore, Ji Xinghuo guessed that the other party hadn't come to Black Ring Star himself and had only sent his subordinates.
Otherwise, the Star Shepherd would have made his move already.
"That's right." Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui nodded, "As long as you're willing to sell the Extinction Dragon, my master is still willing to offer 1 million ether crystals. He won't hold you accountable for killing Kong Ling, and you can leave Black Ring Star alive."
Ji Xinghuo frowned, "Are you stalling for time too?"
"No." Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui denied.
"If that's the case, what's the point of lying?" Ji Xinghuo mocked, "If you had the Extinction Dragon, would you be willing to sell it?"
The corners of Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui's mouth curled up, revealing a cruel smile, "I've always believed in persuading others with courtesy. You are from the Yuan Magnetism clan's Titanium Cobalt family, a noble Extinction Dragon Master, and I should show you a certain degree of respect."
His eyes sparkled with electric lights, "It seems you disagree?"
"Idiot."
Ji Xinghuo looked at him as if he were an insane person.
But Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui didn't care, "You're unworthy of owning the Extinction Dragon. Only my master has the qualifications to become the master of the Extinction Dragon. I know you're strong, and you're also the Finisher of the Destroying Dragon Ceremony, and even Kong Ling died at your hands, but I'm about to show you what true power is!"
"Isn't your master on Black Ring Star?" Ji Xinghuo asked suddenly.
Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui didn't answer.
"I alone am enough to kill you." He gripped his long mace and lifted it up, and with a thunderous roar, his entire body charged towards Ji Xinghuo.
As he rushed forward like a lightning bolt, Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui's body swelled wildly, instantly transforming into a six-meter-tall giant. His armor shone with electric lights, his eyes were like lightning, his skin reflected a silvery glow, and his body was surrounded by an external magnetic field, accompanied by rolling thunder.
The profession template of the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Warrior was not much different from that of the Magnetic Field Maniac.
In addition to being a Dragon Warrior, Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui had also fused some of the abilities of the "Iron Guard", "Martial Artist", and "Giant General".
These templates were not complete, and the abilities were not super-modeled.
However, combined, they gave Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui strength, defense, and burst power far surpassing his peers.
This was the source of his strong confidence.
A terrifying lightning bolt burst from the spearhead of the long mace, striking Ji Xinghuo from several thousand meters away, with Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui close behind.
The lightning that hit Ji Xinghuo veered off-course, but he did not retreat, instead charging forward with the Thunder Rain Sword surrounding his body.
His body also transformed into a giant over five meters tall, and he blasted out an electric spiral force.
Boom!
The two electromagnetic fields collided head-on, erupting countless bolts of lightning.
Amidst the dazzling electric lights, the two massive figures collided without any fancy moves, and in the flash of sparks, Ji Xinghuo turned his upper body slightly to the side, allowing the spearhead to graze past his cheek. He then threw a punch towards Titanium Cobalt Zhonghui's chest.
There was a booming sound like an explosion.
Zhonghui's body fell from the sky like a meteor, crashing heavily into the ground.
The ground trembled, and dust rose from the pit.
"This is impossible!"
Zhonghui leaped out of the large pit. The upper half of his armor had completely exploded, revealing a body forged like an alloy, with a deep fist mark on his silver-gleaming chest and half of his chest caved in.
That punch had almost blown him to pieces.
Zhonghui couldn't believe it. His stellar power was at least ten times that of Yanjin, or even more, and with his Titanium Cobalt Magnetic Body, he couldn't even withstand a single punch.
But the intense pain in his chest and the current coursing through his body reminded him that he was injured.
And it was a serious injury! Zhonghui looked up at Ji Xinghuo, seeing his skin glowing silver, and said in a deep voice, "Titanium Cobalt Magnetic Body!"
This made him even more incredulous.
"How can your power be so much stronger than mine when we both have the Titanium Cobalt Magnetic Body? I'm at the sixth tier, while you're only at the fifth!" Zhonghui thought in disbelief.
Ji Xinghuo himself was also a little surprised as he hovered in mid-air, looking at his right palm opening and closing into a fist, then looking down at his opponent on the ground and coldly smiling, "I'll show you what true power is!"
These were Zhonghui's exact words.
Hearing them now, he felt like he had been slapped hard in the face, a pain more intense than the wound on his chest.
But he had no time to think further as Ji Xinghuo had already rushed towards him.
Rumbling...
Before Ji Xinghuo arrived, countless bolts of lightning struck down, but most of them were deflected by Zhonghui's magnetic field, and the remaining ones that hit him were unable to inflict any fatal damage to a Titanium Cobalt Dragon Warrior.
This was enough for Ji Xinghuo, as he wanted to distract his enemy.
Reaching maximum speed and borrowing the potential energy of gravity, he became one with the Thunder Rain Sword, once again condensing a giant sword hundreds of meters long and driving it straight into the ground.
Zhonghui had no time to dodge, but his face showed no fear as he tightly gripped his long spear and thrust it upward.
The giant sword and the long spear clashed.
The electric light burst!
Ji Xinghuo's giant sword crumbled first. After all, the Thunder Rain Sword was assembled from numerous fragments, so while it was sharp, its structural stability was insufficient. It disintegrated into a flood of electric light that slammed into Zhonghui on the ground.
Zhonghui rushed upward to meet the flood, his long spear breaking through with ease. The fragments of the Thunder Rain Sword and the electric light only managed to scratch his Titanium Cobalt Magnetic Body, leaving shallow wounds.
Within the flood of electric light, the two clashed once more.
Ji Xinghuo threw a punch.
It was another electric spiral force punch with all his might, but this time, he activated "Overload" and, with the benefit of acceleration, struck from above with the advantage, his silver-glowing fist slamming directly into the spear tip.
Clang!
A metallic clang rang out.
Zhonghui also mastered the electric spiral force, but his stellar power tier was inferior to Ji Xinghuo's, and being in the lower position, he couldn't exert his full strength. Ji Xinghuo, on the other hand, seized the best opportunity to strike.
Most importantly, Ji Xinghuo was stronger! The two electric spiral forces exploded simultaneously, and in an instant, a victor emerged.
Zhonghui's long spear exploded, shattering into countless fragments. Ji Xinghuo's fist continued downward, and Zhonghui immediately threw away the remaining half of the spear, raising his fist to block. But in his haste, he could only muster less than half of his strength.
Boom!
There was a crisp crack, and Zhonghui's arms broke.
The punch slammed into Zhonghui's head.
In that instant, Ji Xinghuo's eyes shone with a dark golden light, and a distant, ancient aura of destruction spread out, enveloping Zhonghui and causing him to fall into terror. The Titanium Cobalt Dragon bloodline within him seemed to have met its bane, and his power waned as all his abilities related to the dragon vein were weakened, and his resistance wavered.
Zhonghui's mind went blank, unable to comprehend what was happening. He couldn't unleash any of his abilities, and even his stellar power became sluggish.
All he could see were a pair of dark golden eyes.
Bang!
Ji Xinghuo's punch sent Zhonghui's head crashing into his chest cavity, and the electric spiral force erupted without restraint.
What was once an incredibly tough body was now like ordinary flesh and blood.
It exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of bloody mist! Countless electric lights swept through, and the high-temperature currents burned the bloody mist into ashes that fell slowly all around.
Ji Xinghuo landed heavily on the ground, the boiling stellar power within him quickly subsiding as he scanned what remained of his opponent, a look of shock on his face as well. The bloodline suppression effect of the Primordial Dragon Vein far exceeded his expectations.
However, it wasn't unjust for Zhonghui to die under the might of the Primordial Dragon Vein.
Now wasn't the time for reflection.
Ji Xinghuo's left eye emitted a faint light, and the Ultimate Dark Sphere was activated as his figure disappeared into the shadows, vanishing from his original spot.
