Chapter 359 270: Dragon Form (3)

This was a result of the Force he released, which caused the magnetic field around his body to blaze with intensity.

He was taking Mitsuro's attacks head-on with nothing but his body!!

The next moment, countless Rainbow Slashes descended upon him.

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!!

Large sheets of scales, formed from silver light on his skin, were sent flying by the Rainbow Slashes, dissolving into motes of light. But these scales were merely a manifestation of the magnetic field driven by his Physical Ability. He could replenish them simply by surging his Physical Ability again, though doing so would further increase its consumption.

At this point, Mitsuro's slashes could no longer harm his body!

He then thrust out his palm in a sudden strike, unleashing the Tyrant Lifting the Cauldron. His target: the Primordial Spirit Giant Palm pressing down from above, a hand that looked as if it could move mountains!

BOOM!!

Their palms collided. An utterly terrifying power erupted from Zhao Xuanqi's minuscule body. The Qilin Arm manifested, a curtain of silver light spanning nearly twenty meters. The force of their impact even blasted a large, empty space into Jiang Feiyu's Nether Butterfly Mist.

SCRAPE!!

Under the force of that palm, the massive Dharma Aspect's body actually tilted slightly backward. The impact transferred through, causing Oono Bonan's own body to sway and forcing him to take half a step back, his eyes filled with disbelief.

'The power of a mere human... can actually contend with an explosive burst of power from a top-tier Ancient Exotic Beast?!'

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Then, two ear-piercing whooshes tore through the air from behind and to his side. It was Jiang Feiyu and Shinkawa Yue, launching their attacks.

Primordial Sword!!

Yin Demon Blade!!

Their attacks were still incredibly treacherous and bizarre, especially with Shinkawa Yue's spiritual influence, but without Mitsuro and Oono Bonan to pin him down, their assault was no longer a fatal threat to Zhao Xuanqi.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

He swung a single arm, unleashing his terrifying Physical Ability. The Qilin's Claw lashed out, shattering their offensive and forcing them both to retreat.

After their brief shock, Mitsuro and Oono Bonan charged at Zhao Xuanqi once more. The four of them resumed their combined siege.

At this point, they had no way to retreat. It was a battle to the death. No matter how strong Zhao Xuanqi was, they could only fight to the bitter end!

The five figures remained locked in a tangled struggle, and the situation had surprisingly reached a stalemate.

For the moment, neither side could gain a decisive advantage.

However, as the stalemate dragged on, the hearts of the four elite masters began to sink.

They knew their own conditions best. While the power of the Holy Seed was immense, the backlash was equally terrifying. They had used every trick up their sleeves in their last battle against Yuan Tianhao, and now, using the Holy Seed's power again after a mere two months, they knew they couldn't last long.

Their opponent's state also appeared to be the result of an explosive Secret Technique. If it was a Secret Technique, it had to have a price. They just didn't know how long he could maintain it.

It was a battle of endurance, a gamble to see who would break first.

As time wore on, the tide of battle began to turn against them.

「Meanwhile, outside the fog.」

The forces from Neon and the Divine Land were locked in a standoff, neither side daring to step into the fog. Due to the fog's properties, no one could perceive the state of the battle within. All they knew were the continuous, violent gales that blasted out from it, accompanied by the violent shaking of the earth, signaling the fierce and terrifying clash happening inside.

Everyone's faces were taut with tension. The battle within the fog would likely determine the course of the entire conflict.

Within Shangjing City, in a place hidden from view, a figure lurked in the shadows, gazing toward the battlefield. Their eyes seemed to pierce through the fog, seeing the details of the fight within.

"So, it's reached this stage?"

The figure in the shadows muttered to themself.

THUD!!

But in the next moment, his body trembled violently, and he fell to one knee, his face twisting into an expression of extreme agony.

"You're reacting this strongly just from a flicker of killing intent?"

"But this time, I refuse to submit to your will!!"
