Chapter 208: Chapter 159 The Fire Maniac_2

With a bang,

Shen Yucheng’s flames exploded and vanished in an instant.

His speed was so incredible that not even lightning could catch up, and Ji Xinghuo’s blade only sliced through a residual image made of flames.

Ji Xinghuo’s gaze sharpened.

"This speed..."

The Sword Bureau’s information had indicated that Shen Yucheng was a Flame Frenzy, but now it seemed that they were only half right. Not only was Shen Yucheng a Flame Frenzy, but he also had the "Flying Steps" Professional Template. These two professions advanced into an extremely formidable one, known as "Fire Maniac"!

The Fire Maniac possessed strength, burst power, and especially speed. Whether it was long-distance running or short-distance movement, it was all top-notch.

In the next instant, Shen Yucheng immediately circled back!

To advance by retreating.

Shen Yucheng punched again, and Ji Xinghuo fired two shots, bang, bang. The bullets that hit Shen Yucheng’s body were nullified by the bursting flames.

Though this caused his speed to stagnate somewhat, he still managed to land a punch on Ji Xinghuo.

"Too fast!"

Ji Xinghuo marveled inwardly, the Thunderbolt Battle Blade blocking in front of him. Shen Yucheng, disregarding it, punched the blade, and the immense force from the blow, along with the War Blade, struck Ji Xinghuo’s chest.

Bang!

Ji Xinghuo was sent flying backward, crashing through two walls. A scorching energy surged into his body, but it did not cause much damage.

The Iron Shirt Force and the Golden Scale Iron Spine double defenses had negated most of the damage from the Flame Fist Power.

The Rotating Magnetic Field promptly healed his injuries, and Ji Xinghuo landed steadily.

Instead, it was Shen Yucheng who was paralyzed. The punch he landed on Ji Xinghuo sent an intense electric current throughout his body, causing pain all over and halting the flow of his Star Power for a moment. The flames on his body dimmed, and his frenzied momentum was interrupted.

Ji Xinghuo had anticipated all of this and raised his gun to fire.

Bang, bang, bang!

He shot three consecutive times, each bullet striking Shen Yucheng’s forehead. High Explosive Bombs detonated one after another, Shen Yucheng screaming as he was sent flying. Although the protective burst of flames was still there, shielding him from most of the damage, the third bullet penetrated the protection and exploded upon hitting.

Shen Yucheng’s head was nearly blown open, with a horrifying hole in his forehead.

But he didn’t die.

Not only did he not die, but he also retained his clarity of mind, using the blood that covered his head and face as fuel, his whole body’s flames burning even more fiercely.

Ji Xinghuo frowned slightly. This was an utterly reckless way of fighting.

"Indeed, you are strong!"

Shen Yucheng’s voice was very low, but a smile played at his lips, "The stronger you are, the better. That way, I can rest assured."

Rest assured about what?

From the very beginning when Ji Xinghuo encountered Shen Yucheng, he felt something was odd. This defector was like a riddle, his words baffling yet not suggestive of a deranged mind.

However, Shen Yucheng had no intention of explaining and charged again.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang...

Shen Yucheng’s fists were like shadows, his Star Power seemingly inexhaustible, punching after punching in a furious onslaught, striking Ji Xinghuo from a distance.

Flames at over a thousand degrees swept around, collapsing walls and creating pits in the ground. Luckily, the surrounding residents had all fled, preventing innocent casualties.

His speed was extreme, and the range of his Punch Flame was extensive.

His Martial Arts Rank was at least Ninth Dan, nearing the level of a Martial Arts master.

For anyone else, facing an enemy frenzied like a mad dog would make it very difficult to dodge the attacks, but not for Ji Xinghuo.

The closer Shen Yucheng got, the stronger the Microscopic Perception.

Ji Xinghuo performed consecutive Flash Steps, his figure flickering like a skiff amidst a raging firestorm; seemingly perilous but actually extremely nimble, always passing through the gaps in the Punch Flames, utterly unscathed.

After three Flash Steps, he reloaded six bullets into the Iron Hammer.

Then he fired.

Bang, bang, bang...

Ji Xinghuo emptied the gun in one go, each shot from point-blank range, hitting the target. Shen Yucheng fell back, shot after shot, until, after the sixth shot, he was cornered against a wall, his back slamming into it. The explosive power of the High Explosive Bombs left his entire body sore and in pain, his fiery defenses on the brink of collapse.

Ji Xinghuo’s left hand holding the gun did not lower, nor did it reload with bullets; it was still aimed at Shen Yucheng.

"What use is a gun without bullets..."

Before Shen Yucheng could finish his thought, he saw a small snake head rise from Ji Xinghuo’s left wrist, opening its mouth towards him.

A charge of lightning that had been building up burst forth, and in an instant, the dim room was as bright as daylight.

Boom!

The thick bolt of lightning struck Shen Yucheng, engulfing his figure.

The wall was pierced through.

Shen Yucheng fell through the hole in the wall, his body scorched, tumbling down from the 39th floor toward the ground.

Ji Xinghuo watched him fall to about twenty meters above the ground, flames burst out from his body, he flipped, punching downward, using the reactionary force against the air to decelerate. After throwing several punches, he landed on the roof of a dilapidated building abutting the skyscraper, falling inside.

With magnetic field perception, Ji Xinghuo could sense that Shen Yucheng was not dead.

"Trouble."

Ji Xinghuo followed suit and jumped down, activating the Gale Battle Boots in mid-air, and landed on the rooftop of the building a few seconds later.

Bang!

Before he could steady himself, the concrete ground beneath his feet was blasted open, and a fiery figure shot out.

However, Ji Xinghuo had already known Shen Yucheng was ambushing below and promptly used Flash Step to distance himself, then turned back with Instant Step, slicing with the Thunderbolt Battle Blade.

Clang!

The War Blade collided with the gauntlets, sending Shen Yucheng flying.

He tumbled over ten meters across the concrete rooftop, then sprang up, charred all over with wounds, disbelief in his eyes as he shouted, "How did you dodge that punch!"

Ji Xinghuo did not respond to him.

With magnetic field perception constantly locking on the target, it was impossible to be ambushed by the enemy.

At that moment, Shen Yucheng was in terrible shape, seriously injured, his Star Power almost spent. In at most half a minute, his Flame Frenzy would end, and the victor would be decided.

"I suggest you surrender and come back with me to our country," Ji Xinghuo said.

"I can’t go back," Shen Yucheng replied with an indifferent smile, "From the moment I left the country, I was prepared to never return."

Just as Ji Xinghuo was about to speak again, he suddenly looked up toward the distant black night sky. Five to six kilometers away, three Sky Fighters were approaching at high speed, soon to arrive. Each fighter was staffed with a fully armed Mechanical Rebel Army, led by a Super Mutant.

This was the American Federation’s forces stationed in Immortal City.

From the configuration, the three Super Mutants were clearly "All-Purpose Battle Police," deadly enemies to the Asia-Pacific Community’s Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men.

The All-Purpose Battle Police were not to be trifled with.

Moreover, he was a Swordsman of the Sword Bureau with a sensitive identity, and Immortal City was the enemy’s turf.

"Since you won’t go back, you can only die."

Ji Xinghuo decided to end the battle quickly; Shen Yucheng could not fall into the hands of the American Federation. If he couldn’t be taken back, then he must be eliminated without mercy.

Before he could finish speaking, he used Flash Step to close in on Shen Yucheng, with his right eye’s pupil shimmering with rings of light.

"Come on!"

Shen Yucheng shouted as he mustered the last of his Star Power, his body ablaze with flames, confronting Ji Xinghuo with the mightiest punch of his life.

Boom!

The air exploded, the sound like thunder.

Ji Xinghuo’s Flash Step abruptly stopped halfway, perfectly avoiding the peak of the force behind Shen Yucheng’s punch, and instantly, he used Instant Step again. His figure moved through the impact wave of flames, slashing with Thunderbolt Battle Blade, but not directly at Shen Yucheng. Instead, he aimed a few meters to the left of his target.

The afterimage of flames manifested, with Shen Yucheng’s body appearing beneath the blade.

His intention had been to launch a punch and then swiftly sidestep, aiming another punch at Ji Xinghuo, but this sidestep was like heading directly to his death.

Thwack!

The blade of Thunderbolt Battle Blade flickered with electric light, supremely sharp, instantly cutting through Shen Yucheng’s waist, cleaving him in two.

The sky filled with flaming punch shadows dissipated in an instant.

Shen Yucheng’s upper body hit the ground but did not die immediately. His eyes fixed on Ji Xinghuo, he admired, "Good swordsmanship..."

Having said that, his eyes dimmed, and he died.
