Chapter 282: Chapter 175: Throwing Technique – Dragon Star Group, Air-to-Ground Overwhelming Bombardment! Supersonic Railgun!
Xue Jing tossed the stone in his hand and thought for a while before saying to Xue Wan:
“Sis, I'm going to take care of some things and also buy a few oranges. You just stay here and don't move.”
Xue Wan raised her eyebrows and said, “Don't think I don't understand what you're up to. If you're a younger brother for one day, you're a younger brother for life. You want a promotion? No way. I'm not staying here; I'm going aboard.”
Dragging her wheeled suitcase, she walked toward the boarding area, paused, then turned her head and said, “Be careful.”
Xue Jing smiled and nodded his head.
After Xue Wan left, Miao Miao, who was squatting on Xue Jing's shoulder, blinked her emerald eyes and said:
“Have you found the person from the Lion Holy Church?”
Xue Jing hummed in response, gripping the stone in his hand:
“Let's go, we'll take care of this trouble.”
Having said this, he circulated his Power, applying Hidden Dragon Wishful to display pure Soft Power. With a step, he vanished from the spot in an instant. No one among the passersby noticed his departure, silent and traceless.
On the platform railing by the sea, two hunched figures of great height stood on the slender railings with both feet firmly placed as if on solid ground, displaying an excellent Sense of Balance.
Due to their excessive weight, the iron railings were slightly bent under their feet.
“Bazebu, they're already at the wharf. I've seen the Sacred Object. When do we make our move?” asked Beliru, an envoy of the Lion Holy Church, with an impatient tone.
His right hand… or rather, right claw, gripped the stone buttress supporting the railing next to it. With just a grip, the hard stone buttress crumbled like cake in his easy grasp.
“That damn woman is simply profaning the Sacred Object. To have gained the power bestowed by the Lion God, transforming into such a perfect form, yet content to be a harmless house cat…”
“This is an insult to the War King's savage glory!”
“Calm down, Beliru,” said Bazebu next to him, his voice steady.
“I'm angry too, but now is not the best time.”
“Since they plan to take the boat, we'll follow them onboard. Making our move at sea, we won't have any worries… 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, where's that little snake?” Bazebu inquired.
Upon hearing this, Beliru scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
“We've already located the Sacred Object, so… I thought the little snake was no longer useful and intended to have it as a snack,” he explained.
“Turns out it could shed its skin… and it got away.”
Bazebu angrily said, “You idiot—!”
In an attempt to change the subject, Beliru quickly waved his hands and said, “Wait! That guy named Xue Jing seems to have disappeared!”
“It doesn't matter; they still have to board the ship. Just keep an eye on the boarding gate.”
Xue Jing didn't go directly to trouble the Lion Holy Church. Instead, he put on plain-looking glasses and strolled around the vicinity.
Soon, his eyes lit up as he discovered a deserted little sandy beach below the edge of the wharf.
Due to being covered by the changing tides over the years, much marine debris had washed up onto this small beach. Together with the impolite disposal of trash by some tourists in hidden and inconvenient places, this area had nearly become a garbage dump, emitting a foul odor.
Xue Jing stood on a black rock not far from the beach, and Miao Miao frowned slightly, covering her nose with her right paw, and said:
“What are you doing here?”
Xue Jing smiled and said, “I'm preparing ammunition.”
“Hm?” Miao Miao was puzzled.
He offered no explanation; instead, his mind moved, and immediately the sound of crackling electricity was heard above his head. Two solidified silvery lightning bolts, forming a pair of beautiful Dragon Horns, appeared above his head.
“Oh? This is your new ability…” Miao Miao showed curiosity.
She suddenly felt her paws itching.
The Serpent Slayer Spearhead, which had been in a state of refusal to operate, seemed stimulated as if about to regrow.
However, Xue Jing was unaware of Miao Miao's sensations as he extended his hand toward the trash-filled little beach.
“Pili—”
Thick silvery lightning extended from his palm towards the beach, striking it yet causing no destruction.
Thin currents of electricity swept over everything on the beach, and all the objects touched by the currents slowly floated up, hanging in the air.
In no time, all the garbage on the beach was floating in the air, each piece spaced a little apart, arranged quite neatly like a military parade awaiting inspection.
“…Is this the Dragon Thunder that can affect gravity?”
Miao Miao remarked in awe.
“It looks fun…”
“You want to try, too?” Xue Jing smiled and extended a finger towards Miao Miao on his shoulder.
A silver-white lightning bolt shot out from his fingertip, hitting Miao Miao, transforming into a fine current that roamed through her fur.
The next moment, Miao Miao left Xue Jing's shoulder, floating in mid-air.
“Wait… wait a moment!”
Miao Miao's eyes widened in shock, her fur on end, as her four paws flailed in the air like she was drowning.
After a while, she got used to the sensation of weightlessness floating in the air and curiously experienced true flight.
While controlling Miao Miao to fly around aimlessly, Xue Jing turned his head to look at the trash floating in air, beginning to select 'ammunition.'
“Hmm… this glass bottle is decent.”
“A nail enchanted with tetanus, a nice find.”
“Hmm? And there's a steel rebar…”
“…Why is there a pufferfish carcass by the sea?”
After Xue Jing had finished searching and sorting, Miao Miao was also controlled to return to his shoulder.
“…Is this the 'ammunition' you talked about?”
Miao Miao looked at the several dozen hard objects floating around Xue Jing… among them was a thick tree trunk over three meters long, from a tree species unknown.
Each floating object was tethered by a silver lightning chain, the other ends of all the chains extending from Xue Jing's body.
“Ready, let's go.”
Xue Jing smiled, his body burst into silver-white Thunder Feather Belts, and in an instant, he was suspended and took off, ascending with a pile of objects to hundreds of meters high in the sky.
From such a height, the entire Maple City Wharf and even the whole of Maple City were within his sight.
Naturally, the two members of the Lion Holy Church standing on the platform railing were also clearly visible to him.
“Well, first comes the greeting gift.”
Xue Jing stood in the air, looking down below, and tossed the stone in his hand, his pupils turning into dark gold vertical slits.
——Eye-Penetrating Flow.
“You're the first to taste this move…”
Xue Jing took a deep breath, the Extremely Rigid True Dragon was born within him, letting out a dragon's roar before shattering, Wishfully Forming, splitting into two.
Blood ignited, beginning to boil, muscles compressed, melding into immense strength.
Whirlwind Thunder merged with Shaking Star Fire.
Then——Power of Twins, activate!
Xue Jing clenched his hand, crushing the stone into countless tiny fragments, his gaze sharpened as he made a baseball pitching gesture toward the two below from the Lion Holy Church.
“Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron…”
“——Dragon Star Group!”
Under the colossal force, he hurled the countless tiny fragments from his hand viciously towards the ground!
“Whizz whizz whizz whizz whizz——”
The myriad of fragments screamed through the air, pouring down like rain, each racing to hit the ground first!
Each tiny fragment stirred up a spiral of white vapor trails, carrying extreme virulent Power, rubbing against the air, causing their own temperatures to rise, starting to heat and redden, as if they were indeed falling stars from outer space.
The two members of the Lion Holy Church who were talking, one of them seemed to perceive something, instinctively looked up, and then his pupils shrank to the extreme.
“Beliru, run!”
He immediately shouted.
However… it was already too late.
Hundreds of small fragments carrying spiral vapor trails covered the entire platform where the two stood.
“Bang bang bang bang bang——!!”
Like countless shells hitting the ground, each small fragment caused an explosion upon impact, blasting holes varying from five to ten centimeters in diameter on the cement surface, and in no time, the entire platform was riddled with potholes.
As for the two main targets from the Lion Holy Church, they only had time to shield their heads with their arms.
“Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft——”
Every fragment that hit them penetrated into their flesh, bursting out sprays of blood, some even going straight through their bodies, and in a short time, their bodies were riddled with blood holes that would make anyone with trypophobia's scalp tingle.
When everything had settled, the clothes that covered their bodies were completely torn to shreds, revealing their true forms.
Covered from head to toe in patterned fur, their feet bent backward like the hind legs of a feline predator, their faces also resembled that of a feline with a three-lobed mouth and long whiskers, looking just like members of the Beastman Race from a fantasy world.
“What on earth… happened?”
Bazebu clenched his teeth as he endured the scalding pain that riddled his entire body.
He lowered his arms that had been shielding his head and looked up at the sky.
His excellent vision allowed him to immediately locate the nearly invisible black dot high above.
His pupils contracted, “That is…”
Before he could respond, the next wave came.
Countless tiny fragments curled with spiral airwaves rained down like a torrential downpour!
This time, it wasn't broken stones but—glass shards.
“Run!!”
Bazebu grabbed his somewhat dazed companion and made several quick and agile leaps away from their initial position.
But Xue Jing, with his Level 9 aiming ability, had an extraordinary predictive skill, almost like foresight, predicting their escape direction and adjusting his aim in advance, covering their fleeing path.
“Ssssss——”
Although the intensity of glass shards was not as great as cement stones, they were extremely sharp, and with the powerful force of the enchantment, they easily pierced through the flesh.
The two secret messengers from the Lion Holy Church were instantly turned into bloody men.
“Damn it—!!”
The two roared in anger, their muscles rippling and writhing like waves, pushing out the embedded stones and glass from their bodies as their wounds began to rapidly heal.
“Beliru, I'll help you, go!”
Bazebu's eyes flashed with rage, extending his hand with its sharp claws, and seeing this, Beliru let out a low roar like a fierce tiger, and with a leap, stepped onto Bazebu's palm.
Then, with one forceful throw from the palm and a powerful kick from both legs, the combined effort propelled Beliru like an arrow released from a bowstring, shooting him instantly towards the sky, rapidly closing the hundreds of meters to Xue Jing.
“Oh? Interesting,” Xue Jing smiled.
He reached out for a rusty, tetanus-enchanted nail beside him and aimed at the approaching member of the Lion Holy Church.
Silver thunder appeared in front of the nail, spinning and coalescing into rings upon rings of spiral electric arcs, stretching out over dozens of rings.
Under magnetic forces, the nail trembled slightly.
Xue Jing's gaze narrowed as he extended his thumb, channeled his power, and flicked his finger.
The nail shot out, passing through each ring of the spiral electric arc. As it spun and accelerated in the magnetic field, by the time it had passed through dozens of rings, its tip seemed to tear through some material, bursting out a ring of white vapor while emitting a sharp scream.
“Whooooosh————!!”
Sonic boom!
Its speed had reached—supersonic!
“Swoosh—!!”
With almost no resistance, the head of the on-rushing member of the Lion Holy Church was instantly penetrated by the supersonic nail, and the intense air current even split his whole body in half from head to toe, exploding him on the spot into pieces.
The unimpeded supersonic nail continued forward and, after a second, hit the ground, blasted the bricks and stones, and embedded itself deep into the cement.
