Chapter 142: Chapter 107: Fight for Life with Life

In the first instant the legendary Dagon people appeared within sight, Ji Xinghuo activated Myriad Phenomena, seeking a method to strike a killing blow.

The outcome of his future projection was that ranged shooting had no chance.

Melee was the only option!

So he closed off Myriad Phenomena to save Star Power and after shooting several arrows in succession, he indeed attracted the legendary Dagon person towards him.

At that moment, Ji Xinghuo stimulated the high-frequency thinking of the Acceleration Ring, and his body’s magnetic field began to rotate at high speed!

As the Ultrasonic Sword Energy slashed towards him, he didn’t retreat but instead advanced, stepping forward.

Flash Step!

A soft crackle, and in an instant, Ji Xinghuo’s figure disappeared, several times faster than the Ultrasonic Sword Energy. The Sword Qi grazed by him, and in a fraction of a second he had moved nearly five meters.

A Rotating Magnetic Field produced tremendous explosive power when activated.

When released together with Flash Step, it created an unexpected effect—greater distance, faster speed.

This was something Ji Xinghuo discovered during an attempt after acquiring the Flash Step Ring. Only then did he realize why the Fusion Success Rate of Flash Step was so high.

The legendary Dagon person saw this scene and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Of course, he knew about Flash Step.

But not everyone who knew Flash Step could avoid his Ultrasonic Sword Energy; the duration of Flash Step was exceedingly short, and it had to be timed perfectly through the gaps of the Sword Qi. Even he himself was not confident he could always manage it, as the slightest error would result in being torn apart by the Sword Qi.

"This human archer..."

Before the thought of the legendary Dagon person could settle, he saw Ji Xinghuo approaching rapidly with Flash Step, raising his hand towards him and releasing a bolt of lightning from his fingertips.

Crack!

After shooting out, the lightning divided into countless arcs, with a circle of ring-shaped electrical arcs expanding instantly on the outermost layer.

The legendary Dagon person couldn’t avoid it in time; the arcs hit him causing his brain to daze momentarily. Electricity scrambled throughout his body, causing unending numbness.

The Pulse Arc couldn’t inflict damage on him, but it distorted his sword swing.

And his speed was greatly reduced.

Ji Xinghuo once again used Flash Step, but this time in the opposite direction, flashing backward four times in succession, his figure flashing like instantaneous movement, widening the distance from the Dagon person.

After the last Flash Step, he stood firm, his right hand already drawing the bowstring, and the arrow resting on the bow was a Capacitor Arrow. Rotating Magnetic Field amplified the current and shot it out. The Capacitor Arrow struck the Dagon person square in the face, embedded itself there, and a high-voltage current burst out causing the Dagon person to let out a scream of pain, finally coming to a halt.

Pop, pop, pop!

Ji Xinghuo rapidly fired continuously, taking one arrow after another from his Dimension Stomach, shooting repeatedly.

Each arrow struck the Dagon person, his throat, heart, knee joints—under the paralysis of the electric current his movements became slow. Swinging the longsword to block the arrows, he always missed. Within seconds, he had been hit by over a dozen arrows, looking like a porcupine.

However, he always protected his eyes.

The arrows, hitting other spots, couldn’t penetrate deeply enough to cause a fatal injury.

Seizing the opportunity, Alex manifested behind the Dagon person and transformed his right hand into a huge Blood Blade, viciously stabbing it into the Dagon person’s back.

"Ah..."

Under the pain, the Dagon person turned around and slashed at Alex with his sword.

Alex had no choice but to disperse into a cloud of blood mist to flee, and the Dagon person’s sword erupted with Ultrasonic Sword Energy to tear the blood mist apart, forcing out Alex, his complexion as pale as paper.

A bloody cavity had been gouged into the back of the Dagon person; this was the most severe injury he had received to date.

Suddenly, a Shadow Leopard darted through space to appear at the side of the Dagon person, immediately turning into a towering Black Iron Giant Ape and toppling the Dagon person, who had been caught off guard due to his injury.

The Black Iron Giant Ape stood three meters tall, massive and heavy, and upon toppling the Dagon person, it swung its enormous iron fists, pummeling the enemy furiously.

Bang, bang, bang!

A succession of heavy and forceful punches, like raindrops, fell upon the Dagon person’s head, battering him into the muddy marsh.

Boom!

The Dagon person once again released a "Sound Explosion," blasting Yuan Chongzhen, who had been pressing on him, flying away.

He rolled up to his feet, covered in sticky black mud, looking extremely disheveled. He was a Martial Artist by origin, but within this battle, he hadn’t gotten the chance to employ his martial skills.

One was a ranged archer, one could become a mist of blood, and another turned directly into a wild beast.

Martial Arts only showed their full potential against an enemy with a human form. If the opponent wasn’t human, or didn’t engage in close combat, then there was no place to apply one’s martial prowess.

The Dagon person let out a low growl.

He decided to use his full strength, his body swelling to two and a half meters tall as he entered a Gigantification state.

The first to be dealt with was the archer!

The Dagon person suddenly remembered that the human archer hadn’t continued shooting; turning to look at Ji Xinghuo, a flash of lightning exploded before his eyes, filling his entire vision.

Boom!

A thunderclap erupted through the marsh as if on a clear day.

The Fourth Level Thunderbolt Hand, with the amplification of the Rotating Magnetic Field, delivered its strongest attack.

The Dagon person was sent flying, crashing into the swamp, and just as Alex and Yuan Chongzhen were about to take advantage of the situation, the Dagon person immediately leaped up; half of his head was a blurry mess, one eye blinded, and the skin on the right side of his body from the neck down was charred and cracked open, but little blood flowed out.

He had sustained critical injuries but was recovering at a visibly swift pace.

The remaining right eye of the Dagon person turned blue, indicative of being bloodshot.

At this moment, in his eyes, there was only one enemy left—Ji Xinghuo, and in his mind, only one thought—kill this human!

The legendary Dagon person appeared crazed, but not devoid of reason.

This time, as he rushed at Ji Xinghuo, he didn’t swing out Ultrasonic Sword Energy, but tightly gripped his longsword, with the Sword Blade vibrating intensely.

Whizz...

The piercing Beeping Scream spread over hundreds of meters.

Ji Xinghuo, about to shoot an arrow, showed an expression of pain; blood flowed from his eardrums, his actions were hindered, and the arrow veered off course.

Seizing the opportunity, the Dagon person charged up to Ji Xinghuo and thrust his sword.

Even a casual strike from a legendary fighter had fearsome power; the Dagon person poured all his strength into this thrust, utilizing all the swordsmanship skills he had mastered over his lifetime. The War Blade carried "Shaking Force," and in his mind, he had already anticipated Ji Xinghuo’s potential follow-up moves, along with corresponding sword techniques.

No matter how Ji Xinghuo tried to defend, he would be able to kill him with a single strike.

However, the sword missed its mark.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t engage him head-on. The moment his longsword was about to strike, he lifted his foot for a Flash Step and vanished from the Dagon’s sight with perfect timing.

The Dagon’s longsword resonated with "Sound Form," which allowed him to locate his enemy through the vibrations of sound waves.

But at this moment, Sound Form was too slow.

The speed of sound was far slower than lightning, and slower still than the movement speed of Flash Step.

Based on his rich combat experience, the Dagon anticipated that Ji Xinghuo would be to his left rear. He turned around, only to be met by an arrow.

Ding.

The longsword parried the arrow, the sword tip aiming, and he took a large step forward, thrusting towards Ji Xinghuo’s throat.

Ji Xinghuo vanished once more with a Flash Step.

The Dagon turned instinctively but saw Ji Xinghuo still in sight, having retreated about five meters back, escaping the range of his longsword.

He stimulated his Star Power to unleash an Ultrasonic Sword Energy, but an arrow beat him to it, shooting towards his face and forcing him to protect it.

The Ultrasonic Sword Energy went astray.

In his state of High-frequency Thinking, Ji Xinghuo stood still without moving, letting the sword energy fly past him, slicing a trench tens of meters long.

The Dragon Falcon Eagle Bow fired rapidly, like a firearm, showering the Dagon with arrow after arrow.

The Thunderbolt Hand inflicted serious injuries, and the Dagon’s defense decreased. Ji Xinghuo aimed specially for his wounds, the arrows deeply penetrating flesh and bone, eliciting screams of pain from the Dagon.

He repeated his old trick, releasing a Sound Explosion to push Ji Xinghuo back.

Boom!

In the instant the Sound Explosion hit, Ji Xinghuo stepped forward, using Flash Step to become a bolt of lightning, passing through the white sound wave. Although he stumbled and had to end Flash Step prematurely, he was unharmed.

The Sound Explosion cleared the arrows from the Dagon’s body, freeing him from pain.

Seeing Ji Xinghuo pass through the Sound Explosion, he immediately swung his sword to advance.

The Wave Sword Blade was only half a meter from Ji Xinghuo’s neck when he disappeared again, circling behind the Dagon with Flash Step. Without waiting for his enemy to turn, his right hand, glowing with an electric light, released a Pulse Arc that struck the Dagon, further slowing him down.

Then he shot two more arrows, embedding them into the Dagon’s body again. By the time the Dagon turned around, Ji Xinghuo had broken away with Flash Step.

A large and a small figure were constantly shifting and turning in close proximity.

Rising and falling like a hawk, fast as lightning!

The Dagon attacked Ji Xinghuo furiously, his longsword swinging, sound waves wreaking havoc, always half a step too slow. Ji Xinghuo danced on a tightrope, knowing a single mistake would mean death.

Yet, Ji Xinghuo always managed to dodge at the critical moment.

Every time after Flash Step, he took the opportunity to shoot one or two arrows to worsen the Dagon’s injuries or release a Pulse Arc to maintain the slow effect on the Dagon.

Outside the circle of battle, Alex, Yuan Chongzhen, and Jing Ji were utterly astonished.

They had never imagined an archer engaging an enemy in close combat in such a manner, almost face-to-face without a weapon, yet unhindered in shooting arrows.

"He can’t hold on much longer."

Alex could see the signs; Ji Xinghuo was in danger.

"What should we do?"

Yuan Chongzhen was burning with urgency, but they had no opportunity to intervene.

In this situation, if they rashly joined the fight, they might disrupt Ji Xinghuo’s rhythm, inadvertently becoming a hindrance. Moreover, they were too injured to fight any longer.

Just as the two were about to grit their teeth and step forward, they heard Ji Xinghuo’s voice in their minds:

"Don’t come over."

Ji Xinghuo stopped his teammates. The Third Level Rotating Magnetic Field granted him explosive power, supporting his continuous use of Flash Step, but his Star Power was being rapidly depleted.

His physical endurance was also quickly running out.

The Dagon saw this and remained unhurried, knowing that in just another ten or so seconds, this human’s end would come.

"I can make countless mistakes, while you can only make one," the Legendary Dagon shouted loudly, "Let’s see how long you can last, hahaha..."

Ji Xinghuo’s expression remained utterly calm.

Suddenly, after another Flash Step, he ceased his High-frequency Thinking, and his right pupil flickered. Instantly, the world slowed down, and countless lights and shadows played out before his eyes, revealing various future outcomes.

The Dagon, oblivious to the minute change in Ji Xinghuo, saw his slowed movements—the absence of an incoming arrow—and thought he had run out of strength. He raised his longsword, aiming to slash at Ji Xinghuo’s neck.

Ji Xinghuo immediately dodged with a Flash Step.

But this time, he stopped less than half a meter away, still within reach of the longsword.

The Dagon reacted swiftly, the longsword sweeping across.

Ji Xinghuo raised his left hand, which held the Dragon Falcon Eagle Bow, attempting to block the longsword, seeking a slim chance of survival.

"You’re doomed!"

The longsword chopped down, its wave-like blade extremely sharp, capable of slicing through metal like mud. It cleanly cut through the Dragon Falcon Eagle Bow.

The blade, as if cutting through tofu, severed the bow and continued to sweep toward severing Ji Xinghuo at the waist.

Ji Xinghuo’s left arm blocked the blade.

A layer of bluish-gold scales appeared, but it wasn’t enough to ward off the terrible strike. Ji Xinghuo’s arm was instantly severed, breaking off in the middle, his hand flying away.

The Dagon suddenly felt his hand empty; his longsword had disappeared.

He paused, unsure of what had happened.

But Ji Xinghuo had anticipated this event. He showed no response to his severed left hand. His right hand had already grasped the Thunderbolt Battle Blade, with the Rotating Magnetic Field amplifying the charge, the blade gleaming with blinding light.

Flash Step!

Ji Xinghuo flashed forward, almost crashing into the Dagon’s embrace, the Thunder Blade plunging into the enemy’s heart. High voltage erupted, instantly destroying the heart.

Then, using the last of his Star Power and physical strength, he flashed back to a distance of five meters.

The Dagon’s body shook violently, disbelievingly looking down at the gaping wound in his chest, blue blood spurting uncontrollably. Pain washed over him, but he could not speak.

Ji Xinghuo said to him, "You can only make one mistake too."
