Chapter 945: The Dragon Slayer! (7k2)
Finally appeared? I thought you were going to hide until you were completely sure it was safe, or let Veldora come to see his sister first.
The moment she saw Ji Xing appear, Velgrynd quickly returned from her red dragon form to her human form. Her posture was still elegant, and there were no scars on her body, as if the battle that had just taken place had no effect on her at all.
She didn’t care why the person who suddenly appeared to ‘help her’ was not Damrada, but Footman whom she didn’t know.
She remained steadfast in her goal, and said in a cold voice, "Your subordinates did a great job. I thought I wouldn't encounter any other troubles this time except for my brother, but they did cause me some trouble."
After being treated by Ji Xing, Shivana also regained her human form. She stood beside Ji Xing with a slightly pale face and did not quite think it was a compliment.
Two embarrassed-looking female demons also flashed near Ji Xing. Misali said respectfully, "You are back, Mr. Ji Xing. Please be careful. We are probably only dealing with the clone of the Burning Flame Dragon. We are not sure whether her real body will come."
Oh? Such an attitude? It seems like he is not just helping out according to Guy's orders?
Velgrynd was thinking.
In fact, as early as after discovering that Shyvana's fighting power was beyond expectations and even obtained the ultimate skills, Velgrynd had guessed that the power of the skill merchant Ji Xing might be stronger than she initially estimated.
I can only say that Rudra has foresight. I am afraid that I am the only one in the empire who can kill him personally. So...
Let's try his level first!
Without further communication, Velgrind opened his mouth slightly towards Jixing.
The remaining magic power in her body was mobilized to the maximum, and a shining light was brewing in her throat!
It's still the scorching breath, but the breath in human form will have a reduced coverage area, but will enhance single-point attack!
Not only that, the brewing breath seemed to contain an extraordinarily different power. The ominous feeling made Shyvana and the two female demons alert at the same time, shouting, "Be careful!"
But the breath had already erupted before that.
The terrifying speed that exceeded a hundred times the speed of sound made the short distance of a hundred meters become a moment, like a ray of laser shining directly towards Ji Xing's heart!
However, what is also hard to see clearly is Ji Xing's moving fingers and the virtual image created by his two fingers raised upwards!
hum-
Then, when it was only an arm's length away from Ji Xing's body, the breath suddenly refracted towards the sky, and quickly penetrated the atmosphere, bringing up a beam of glow in the dim universe!
Huh? How is that possible?!
Even Velgrind was shocked, because the scorching breath this time was indeed different. She didn’t care about the magic power consumption and used her ultimate skill, King of Rescue Raguel, which had the effect of "acceleration".
Promotion and acceleration of destructive power and temperature!
This is completely different from what Shyvana and the other two had faced before. In her long life, only her sister, the white ice dragon Velusado, who has exactly the opposite attributes to her, can take on this move!
All the others could do was dodge, even Rudra in his prime.
But today, it was caught by humans!
Oh, to be precise it's refraction, but that's no different from catching it.
Some ultimate skill?
Just as Velgrind was wondering in her heart, a flash of cold light was reflected in her pupils. She was startled and wanted to dodge, but the consumption of the previous fierce battle and the overload use of the ultimate skill just now had indeed pushed her body to the limit. Her movements were a little slow, and the splash of cold light was much faster than she expected!
Puff——With the sound of the blade piercing her body, Velgrynd’s eyes were filled with shock at first, then turned to indifference. Her head flew away, but her beautiful face remained calm.
"This is the first time I've been beheaded. Skill merchant, your sword is very powerful and fast."
Ji Xing responded: "Your dragon blood is also very effective, thank you."
Velgrind's eyes turned and he found that the sword held by Ji Xing was stained with dragon blood containing her powerful energy. The blood was flowing, quickly giving the originally dark sword a bright glow!
Are you advancing from Legendary to Mythic?
"I see."
Wasn't the hiding before out of cowardice, but looking for this kind of opportunity? The weapon's promotion from legendary to mythical level brings a completely different increase to the owner. A demon king species that is recognized by a mythical weapon has a high probability of defeating an awakened demon king without a mythical weapon.
Moreover, apart from the speed and power of this sword, its accuracy was also astonishingly high. Even Kondo, the strongest swordsman in the empire, seemed to be inferior to him.
The skill merchant Ji Xing is really strong.
As all these thoughts flowed, the torn body of Velgrind faded away, and the real body far away in the Eastern Empire suddenly frowned.
She looked at Rudra who was half asleep beside her and said softly, “Rudra, I’m afraid I have to give more power to other bodies, so you…”
“It doesn’t matter. If Guy really attacks at this time, I will force the angel army to come.” Rudra said, opening his eyes.
“An army of angels? Didn’t they say it would take another year or two…” Velgrind asked in surprise.
That’s right, the legendary army of angels that descends every 500 years and specializes in attacking advanced cities is Rudra’s ultimate skill, and it is the attack he launched against the West in order to unify his hegemony!
Because its 'power' is too strong, it can only be used once in a long time to avoid causing too much damage to Rudra's body.
"It's only a year or two. It doesn't make any difference to me. We must win this time. I can't hold out for another 500 years. And the situation is very favorable to us this time, isn't it?"
Velgrynd remained silent.
Rudra's power brought too much burden to him, and coupled with repeated reincarnations, his soul was always irreversibly damaged.
That’s why Velgrynd decided to invest more strength when she confirmed that the skill merchant Jisei could be the deciding factor between Rudra and Guy.
Velgrind couldn’t bear to see Rudra like this. She hesitated and asked, “How much time do you have left, Rudra?”
"You don't need to worry about this. At least I can assure you that I will not fall before conquering the whole world."
Conquer the whole world?... Velgrynd’s eyes quickly became firm: “Then you better be careful, Rudra, I will only keep 10% of my main body’s magic energy!”
In other words, excluding the 24% of energy of the body killed by Ji Xing that will slowly recover in hours, and the % of energy left over, she will use % of her energy to fight Ji Xing, which is basically equivalent to the combat power of the complete body... She wants to make sure that nothing goes wrong!
……
In just a moment...
On the other hand, Misali and Rain, who saw Ji Xing's attack with their own eyes, were shocked and finally put their minds at ease. They were sure that Ji Xing might really be a strong man at the same level as Guy and Milim, and at least had the power to compete with the dragon species, so they were safe.
Shyvana has always known how powerful Ji Xing is, but Yuuki, Damrada and the other two in the distance couldn't help but freeze there.
The strong impact made their brains blank for a while, and they even forgot about Footman's strange behavior for a while. Even though Velgrind-sama's other body's energy was exhausted, his dragon-like body was stronger than the average awakened demon king, but he was actually killed by a sword...
As an old saint, Damrad could not understand the source of Ji Xing's power. In his perception, Ji Xing was only a person who had walked a short distance in the saint stage and was still far from being completely transformed into a spiritual life form. Logically speaking, he should be far inferior to him!
What kind of skill or ability could allow him to easily overcome such a huge innate gap?
"Tia! Damrada, evacuate as soon as possible! This is an order!" The next moment, Yuuki's voice broke their daze, and then Yuuki's figure suddenly shot in that direction.
"Master Yuuki!" Tia exclaimed, and tried to follow, but Damrada blocked her way.
Yuuki can't fail to see the gap, nor can he fail to sense the danger. But first there is Footman who acts inexplicably, and then there is Cagalli who is in a strange state, both of whom are companions that Yuuki cherishes.
Damrada knew Yuuki’s character and knew that he couldn’t stop him. He felt that the situation might not be that bad because he was the only one who knew that the other body of Velgrind that was just destroyed was just a weak one used as a test.
The battle is far from over.
Yuuki, who was running over, didn't know about this, so he was extremely cautious. He asked loudly from a distance, "Footman, what are you doing?! Cagalli, is that you? What's going on?"
Ji Xing killed Velgrind very quickly, but a minute had passed since Ji Xing appeared. In other words, the confrontation between Footman and Cagalli had lasted for more than a minute, during which Cagalli asked several questions but could not get a single response from Footman.
Yuuki’s voice seemed to finally arouse Footman’s reaction. He turned his head stiffly, and the evil aura faded a little, but it was only two seconds before it suddenly became gloomy again, and he uttered hoarse words: “Boy! How dare you resist me?! Lowly bug!”
“…Who are you?! Get out of my body!” Footman’s voice followed.
It was like a split personality, with the two personalities fighting and struggling. Cagalli didn't care about Yuuki and looked worriedly at the most loyal knight who had followed her for two thousand years: "Footman! What's going on? Are you okay?!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ji Xing for help, and this action also made Yu Shu's heart hang in the air.
It doesn't seem like coercion. Did Cagalli betray me? No, we were just partners in the first place. The skill merchant might have given her more, such as her obviously increased strength now...
Ji Xing said: "It looks like an evil soul has been injected into his body and is fighting with him for control of the body."
Evil spirit? Cagalli was shocked.
Footman was furious: “You lowly bug! How dare you address the great Magic Emperor like that? And you, Kazaream, dare to abandon the ‘name’ and ‘appearance’ I gave you!”
What?! Cagalli's mind went blank, and the fear engraved deep in her soul surfaced in her heart.
"Magic Emperor? Jessir?" The Primordial Blue Rain said in surprise: "No wonder it feels familiar. Isn't this the guy who summoned Master Qi back then? He's still alive?"
Many people have heard the story of Demon King Guy. Many years ago, Guy was the ancestor of the demon world, the original red.
But at that time, a dispute broke out between the two largest countries in the world. In order to win, the emperor of the Super Magic Empire spent a lot of resources and sacrificed countless people to summon demons.
The one summoned was Guy.
The Magic Emperor relied on the contract and his arrogant attitude, and even wanted to make Guy his experimental subject, which naturally led to disaster.
Not only the Super Magic Empire, but also the great country that was fighting with it was destroyed by Guy. Guy also obtained enough human souls and evolved into the first Demon King.
The human who can summon Qi is naturally not a simple person. He is the first human created by the God Ancestor and also the God Ancestor’s first disciple - the Magic Emperor Jesser!
"Wait, wait?" Rain's words briefly freed Cagalli from her fear: "You said he summoned Guy... but that was four or five thousand years ago, right? But Jessir is obviously my father, from two thousand years ago..."
The Super Magic Kingdom and the Super Magic Empire have similar names, but in reality it is just a kingdom established on the ruins of the empire with the help of its remaining influence.
"Don't you understand after seeing this? Why did your father suddenly go crazy and why did he call himself Jessir?" Ji Xing said.
Cagalli looked dazed for a moment, and after two seconds she smiled bitterly: "I see."
This doubt has troubled her for two thousand years.
It's not that my father has changed, but that he has been possessed by Jessir. My father has always been the kind monarch, but... he is dead.
Boundless anger burst out from my heart.
Cagalli stared at Footman and said word by word: “Get out of Footman!”
“How dare you! Kazaream! It’s true that I have always wanted to correct your weakness, but that doesn’t mean you can disobey me! Kneel down now and beg for my forgiveness, or your loyal little knight will be shattered!”
Cagalli froze, looking at a loss: "No! Don't hurt Footman!"
Yuuki's expression hardened as he quickly understood the current situation and thought about where to start.
Ji Xing had already thrown out an illusory octopus tentacle and pierced into Footman's body!
'Soul Trial!'
Footman's body stiffened and he fell to the ground. Along with an old and ugly phantom soul, Ji Xing pulled it out of his body! The soul's face was frozen in an ugly and distorted moment, and the next moment it screamed: "What is this?! Bugs!"
"You handle it, Cagalli."
Ji Xing threw Jessir's soul aside, moved over instantly, picked up Footman, and threw it to Yuuki.
Yuuki quickly hugged the unconscious Footman with both hands, looked at Ji Xing and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just nodded and turned around and left quickly.
Was it Kagali's 'exchange'? He had such a guess in his mind, so he didn't look at Kagali. Kagali looked at Yuuki's back with some complicated and relaxed expression, and locked her eyes on Jessir's 'lonely' soul.
According to common sense, the soul cannot be seen by the naked eye and is difficult to perceive, but Jessir's transparent soul is always clearly visible.
Cagalli knew that this was Ji Xing's doing, so she would naturally cherish the opportunity given by Ji Xing!
"Let's put an end to this, Jessir!"
This was not fair to Jessir. Although he had reached a state where he could survive for a long time without a body or soul, without a body, his strength would only be one tenth of what it was.
His expression kept switching between anger and fear, and he shouted, "Feldwei! Where are you still hiding and watching the show?! Come out now!"
Huh? Feldwei? That's the name of the leader of the seven angels?! Rain and Misali immediately became alert and looked around, but they couldn't see any trace of him.
Yes, it’s not the time for the angel army to descend yet, but…if it’s Kazaream’s ‘father’, then he was killed by the rampaging Milim more than 2,000 years ago.
Survival is the reason for Feldwei?
"Strange, Feldevi should obey Rudra, why would he save such an evil guy?" Rain couldn't help but murmur.
"I am also confused about this." A cold voice came from afar.
Familiar tone, terrifying aura.
The atmosphere that had just calmed down suddenly became solemn again. A hot breath made the forest, where the flames had just been extinguished, seem to turn into a sea of fire again!
“Velgrind…”
They looked over and saw another Velgrind in perfect condition. This time, the scale of its energy fluctuations was completely different from before. Could this be... its true form? !
Velgrynd walked slowly from three hundred meters away, looking at Jessir.
Because it took her some time to transfer energy from her original body to the other body, she watched the whole show in the dark. She originally thought it was just an accident until Jessir called out Feldwei.
Is this Rudra's layout?
Why didn't even I know?
I remember that Rudra was very disdainful when he mentioned Jasir, and his wonderful friendship with Qiyi shouldn't have made him do such a thing!
Strange... As doubts rolled over her, Velgrynd seemed to vaguely remember something, but those things only flashed by, and when she wanted to catch them, they had already disappeared.
Forget it, it’s not worth waking up my dormant main body for such a thing, I’ll go back and ask Rudra.
Let’s do business first!
"Skill merchant, let me see the sword that has been upgraded with my blood."
Ji Xing smiled, put the sword back into the scabbard with his backhand, and threw it to Shivana: "No."
"..."
Ah? ? ?
Velgrynd had never seen such a scene in her long life. She even wanted to explain, "When I said I wanted to see it, I didn't mean to ask you to show me your sword, but to declare a battle," but she immediately realized that it was indeed a bit stupid.
“Are you trying to say that you are good at more than just swordsmanship?” Velgrynd recalled the previous breath.
"I mean, killing your body will bring me more than just sword skills." Ji Xing walked towards her: "Syvana, Rain, Misalie, just keep an eye on him and don't let Jessir run away. Cagalli, 'eat' Jessir."
Jessir cast a resentful look at him, and his soul was tense because of the "wolves looking around".
“Feldwei! Feldwei! What are you doing? Why don’t you show up?! I am still somewhat grateful to you, but you are plotting to murder me?!”
But in the end, no one responded.
Velgryndore, who was getting closer and closer to the bare-handed Ji Xing, had no intention of paying attention to Jessir. She felt a strange aura from Ji Xing, as if it belonged to... a dragon?
No, it's not yet at the level of a dragon species, but it is purer than all the inferior dragon monsters like Shyvana. That is the blood of a dragon and the power of a giant dragon!
This aura aroused a deep feeling of disgust in her, as if Ji Xing had hunted countless dragons and even dragon species.
But how is that possible? Powerful dragon monsters are rare. Apart from a few specific environments where you can find dozens of them, you can only see a few scattered around in the outside world. I have never heard of a group of them being wiped out.
The dragon species was even more ridiculous, because after the death of Star King Dragon, only the three siblings were left.
Where did he get the power of the dragon? Could it be that he could learn the corresponding skills just by killing my body once? This is ridiculous!
Boom——
Just when the distance between her and Ji Xing was only about a hundred meters, a sonic boom cloud suddenly rose up at Velgrind's location.
Her figure crossed the space and appeared beside Ji Xing in an instant. She raised a knife in her right hand and chopped towards Ji Xing with terrifying power and speed!
thump—
Amid the sound of flesh colliding, the knife attack was blocked by Ji Xing's raised arm. The ground under their feet froze briefly, and the land within a hundred meters in radius was broken into cubes of the same size.
Velgrynd had seen this scene before, in the battle just now. Ji Xing's subordinate Shyvana also used the same action to block her knife, but Shyvana used the skill granted by the Ultimate, but Ji Xing in front of him... did not have it.
Just the flesh?! Or... plus the few scales on the surface of the skin?!
Velgrind glanced at her and saw her white thighs being lifted out from her cheongsam. Her beauty was accompanied by the power that could kick a person into pieces, but she was still blocked by Ji Xing's raised knee!
Velgrynd could vaguely sense that Ji Xing's bones were slightly abraded due to the collision with her, but that slight injury disappeared immediately with the flow of Ji Xing's magic power.
It's not like Shyvana who relies on skills, nor is it like the two demon ancestors who have talent.
This guy, who is essentially a weak human, is really fighting me in close combat? As a human, fighting a powerful dragon in close combat? !
After realizing this, Velgrind became furious, and her attacks began to be as swift as a rainstorm. Her fists, legs, elbows and all other parts of her body turned into violent weapons, but every attack was steadily parried and defended by Ji Xing!
The movements of the two were getting faster and faster, and the magic storm caused by the collision was getting more and more violent, fighting from the ground to the sky, and from the sky to the ground.
The clouds in the sky were completely blown away.
The earth has gullies stretching for several kilometers.
This kind of head-on confrontation always brings more shock to the onlookers. Misali and Rain did not expect Ji Xing to choose this way of fighting. They have just experienced how powerful the dragon species is and they are the most qualified to speak about it. It is a body that can easily crush their power and knock them away again and again!
Even though their strength and speed could not keep up, as the ancestor-level demon kings, their eyesight was good enough that they could clearly see that Ji Xing would suffer a loss if he confronted him head-on. The dragon scales on his arms from his skills had begun to fall off, and many parts of his arms had bruises that were difficult to heal from the collisions. Several places were even charred by the red lotus flames!
This was too strange and too clumsy, what about his skills? Was he so conceited that he thought he could defeat Lord Scorch Dragon with melee combat?
"Hey! Shyvana! Hurry up and give me your sword..."
"Everything is in the master's plan." Shivana shook her head gently with a calm expression.
Plan? What plan? Shyvana didn't know exactly, but she knew how skilled Ji Xing was after seeing him fight Milim.
But Ji Xing in front of him was useless and kept aiming at Velgrind's body and crashing into it!
It's more like forging, it's polishing.
This reminded Shivana of the first time she met Ji Xing, when Ji Xing used a power very similar to that of a dragon to make her let down her guard!
That kind of power is breaking out of the cocoon!
《Announcement, the challenge to advance the unique skill 'Dragon Slayer' to the ultimate skill... failed.》
《Declare...failure...》
In Ji Xing's mind, the sound of this world kept echoing, starting from the moment he killed Velgrind with his sword!
It was natural for the skill Dragon Slayer to advance by killing a dragon, and Ji Xing had already made plans since he knew that Velgrind was coming to kill him.
Let Shyvana face the enemy first. On the one hand, it is to train Shyvana, and on the other hand, it is to let Shyvana use the skills given by his ultimate diligently, and bring positive feedback to Ji Xing! In a life-and-death battle, Shyvana brought even more feedback than Milim's skills.
In addition, turning Cagalli into a heroic spirit also brought a small wave of feedback to Ji Xing, allowing his soul capacity to be unlocked just enough to accommodate another Ultimate Skill! It has been less than a month since he obtained the Queen of Exploration!
This time, Ji Xing did not intend to sacrifice any skills, and there was no suitable skill to help the dragon slayer advance. Forced evolution would naturally bring greater challenges, but these difficulties would definitely be overcome by Velgrain!
Since Velgrendo is one of the strongest dragons in the world, how can a continuous fight with her not be considered a dragon slayer?! Every minute this battle lasts will bring powerful abilities to the dragon slayer!
As time went by, Ji Xing had a little trouble responding to Velgrynd's attack. However, the time from declaring the challenge to failing was also getting longer and longer!
Until a certain moment, the light deep in Ji Xing's soul was lit up again, and the shining three ultimate skills and ten unique skills became four ultimate skills and nine unique skills.
《Announcement. The unique skill 'Dragon Slayer' has been successfully upgraded to the ultimate skill 'Dragon Slayer King Dunan Isbadli'! 》
call--
The violent storm caused by the fists and feet of Ji Xing and Velgrind suddenly eased, and the level of magic in Ji Xing's body rose a small step.
In the face of Velgrendo's shocked expression, the white fist she swung was firmly grasped by Ji Xing's palm, unable to move forward, and even the red lotus fire on it was extinguished by Ji Xing's palm!
Snap—then her raised right leg ankle was also grabbed by Ji Xing, and the two of them were suspended in the air in a slightly awkward posture.
"you……?!"
“Thanks,” Ji Xing said.
Then a swift headbutt!
Boom! ! !
With an extremely loud collision sound, Velgrind crashed into the ground like a missile, and a trace of dragon blood splashed in the sky!
Under the shocked gazes of the two female demons and Damrada in the distance, Ji Xing raised his hand and touched his slightly damaged forehead with a smile on his face.
A dragon-level physique is here!
