Chapter 141 - 106: Ultrasonic Sword Qi

Chapter 141: Chapter 106: Ultrasonic Sword Qi"He’s already here!" Upon hearing Ji Xinghuo’s words, Jing Ji and the other two felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Yuan Chongzhen yelled, "Let’s split up and escape." As he spoke, he transformed into a Thunder Feathered Eagle with a wingspan of five to six meters and violently flapped its wings to soar into the sky. "Be careful!" Ji Xinghuo wanted to warn him, but it was too late. In his magnetic field perception, the Legendary Dagon moved swiftly, already within a hundred meters, though his figure was blocked by the trees in the swamp. The Thunder Feathered Eagle had barely flown a few dozen meters when an invisible spear soared from behind the forest. Sound Spear! Yuan Chongzhen heard Ji Xinghuo’s shout, and his reaction, though half a beat late, allowed his body to swell and transform into the defensively formidable Black Iron Giant Ape. The Sound Spear struck the Giant Ape’s abdomen, sinking in. The Giant Ape let out a pained roar and fell from the sky. Boom! The Black Iron Giant Ape crashed heavily into the swamp, splashing a large swath of filthy water. But he didn’t die; instead, he gritted his teeth, leaped up, and transformed into a Forest Deer Spirit. The upper half of his body was human, and the lower half was deer, with two branches like antlers adorned with lush leaves above his head. His abdomen was bleeding profusely, but his hands emitted a green glow, drawing life force from the surrounding plants to heal his wounds. "We can’t escape!" Alex exclaimed, "We must fight him; otherwise, we’ll all die." Having seen with his own eyes how the enemy killed his teammate, he had no wish to repeat the same mistake. "Xinghuo?" Jing Ji looked towards Ji Xinghuo. He knew how strong Ji Xinghuo’s perception abilities were and that his judgment of the situation was precise. At this moment, they had to rely on Ji Xinghuo to make the decision. If Ji Xinghuo said they couldn’t fight, he wouldn’t hesitate to flee. Ji Xinghuo nodded firmly. Among the Legendary strong ones he had encountered, this Legendary Dagon’s magnetic field intensity was at the lower end. The fluctuations of his Ether Energy were far from terrifying. As expected, he should be at the First Dan of the Legendary level. Together, the four might stand a chance in battle. Moreover, the Legendary Dagon was not in good condition; his movements were somewhat uncoordinated, reminding him of Ji Zongbang, who was also poisoned by the Evil Wind Guest. Alex’s teammate was the Evil Wind Guest, so his death was not entirely in vain. While it didn’t greatly affect the fight, it did cause the enemy to reveal a slight flaw. If they couldn’t defeat him, they could run. Seeing Ji Xinghuo nod, Jing Ji gritted his teeth and declared, "Let’s bet it all!" His figure slipped into the shadow and vanished from sight. Alex’s body surged with blood, forming a layer of crimson armor. He grew over two meters tall, his hands transforming into a pair of giant Blood Blades, his entire appearance monstrous as if he had crawled out of hell. He entered battle mode and charged toward the woods. Boom! A piercing shriek, like a hurricane unleashed, caused a swath of forest a hundred meters away to collapse, as if it were shredded by numerous blades. Branches and leaves filled the sky and were cleared instantly. Alex was sent flying back, his body lacerated as if slashed by a thousand knives, a blur of flesh and blood. At this point, the Legendary Dagon finally appeared. Ji Xinghuo could only sense his form through his magnetic field perception. Now that he saw the Dagon in person, his pupils constricted instantly. An average Dagon stood just over one meter seventy in height, but this Dagon topped two meters, extremely muscular. His rock-like muscles stretched his greenish-blue skin tight, filled with terrifying strength. Star Power could be directly seen flowing across his skin like ripples of water. He wore a light battle garment and held a longsword with a unique shape. The legs of the Dagon had three segments, moving with exceptional stability. As he stepped into the waters of the swamp, ripples spread out, resonating with the sonic vibrations coming from his sword. Centered on him, the air within a hundred meters vibrated, forming visible mechanical waves! Buzz, buzz, buzz... Ji Xinghuo’s ears picked up a sharp buzzing noise like the screeching of electrical currents through speakers, his eardrums pained, his mind ached as if pierced with needles, and his consciousness grew faint. "He is the Giant Spirit General. Watch out for the sword in his hand!" Alex stood up, his wounds already healed. Ji Xinghuo was surprised but then understood. The Giant Spirit General was an advanced class derived from two professions, the Giant General and the Martial Artist. The Dagon’s natural talents lay in water and ice; their physical constitution was not outstanding, so there weren’t many strength-oriented professions. Yet, this Legendary Dagon was an exception, which explained his towering stature. As for his sword... Ji Xinghuo observed it carefully. The pale blue longsword was about one meter and twenty centimeters long, as wide as a palm. The blade had wavy edges, not smooth but serrated, while the backbone of the sword was hollow and vibrated, emitting a sound that was captivating. This was at least a Superpower Three Stars weapon! "Earthlings." The eyes of the Legendary Dagon swept over the three, then glanced at Jing Ji, who was invisible, not bothering to hide the fact that he knew Jing Ji was there. He wasn’t in any rush to act and spoke in the Sky Clan’s language, "It was you who attacked our patrol team, wasn’t it?" In the Thousand Peak Abyss Forest, different alien species used the language of the Sky Feather Royal Court for communication. Ji Xinghuo had included the Sky Clan’s language in his university studies. "So what if it was?" Ji Xinghuo responded coldly. "That’s just perfect." The Legendary Dagon’s fish-like face wore a cruel smile as he spoke in a flat tone, "I’ve been looking for you for a long time, and today my luck seems to be good. I’ve come across all of you. It’s a good opportunity to take care of you annoying bugs all at once." "#%￥%!" Ji Xinghuo uttered a bizarre intonation. He was speaking in the language of the Dagon people, which was a great insult among them, roughly equivalent to unfertilized fish eggs, a foolish lower lifeform only fit to be used as feed. The Legendary Dagon’s eyes shifted, turning utterly gloomy, as he was completely enraged. However, Ji Xinghuo didn’t wait for him to make a move. The Dragon Falcon Eagle Bow had been drawn to the full extent, and with the release of an arrow, it shot out as fast as lightning, aiming straight for the Dagon’s eye. The two sides were only a hundred meters apart, and in the blink of an eye, the arrow was right in front of him. At the same time. Jing Ji initiated the Mind Link, connecting the thoughts of the four together. As Ji Xinghuo fired his arrow, Jing Ji threw his dagger towards the Dagon’s back, Alex transformed into a mist of blood and charged forward, while Yuan Chongzhen turned into a Shadow Leopard, striking at the Dagon’s flank through the space. "Courting death." The Dagon sneered, raising his hand to swing his longsword. Ding! The longsword easily deflected the arrow, continuing its motion to slash outward. White sonic waves burst forth from the blade, instantly generating a vast expanse of Sword Qi chop that extended dozens of meters. The mist of blood that Alex had turned into was scattered, his body falling into the swamp, unable to regroup his blood and losing his human form. The Shadow Leopard was only grazed by the Sword Qi, and skin and flesh burst open immediately, frightening him into leaping away once more, reverting back to a Forest Deer Spirit to heal himself. Ji Xinghuo finally understood this mode of attack—it was Ultrasonic Sword Energy! After pushing away the two enemies in front of him, the Dagon immediately turned around. Jing Ji’s figure flickered over with a dagger in hand, but the longsword made it to his neck too quickly to be avoided. Splat! Jing Ji was decapitated, but in the next instant, his body dispersed into an illusion. Illusion Flash! At the same time, four identical Jing Jis appeared around, all mere afterimages. The Dagon was briefly stunned and couldn’t immediately discern the real one, allowing Jing Ji to open his mouth and release an "Ultrasonic Shock Wave"! As a professional advanced from a Phantom Assassin, an Illusion Sound Master, and a Shadow Blade, Jing Ji was also adept at controlling sound waves. A booming sound resounded. The Dagon couldn’t avoid it at such close range; the ultrasound hit his face directly, making him uncontrollably stagger back a few steps, his head spinning. If it had been a Super Mutant or a Fourth Rank Dagon, such a close-range Ultrasonic Shock Wave’s hit would have directly shattered their body, or at the very least caused severe injuries, if not death. However, against a Legendary fighter, it merely pushed him back without causing injury. Ji Xinghuo seized this opportunity to shoot an arrow at the back of the Legendary Dagon’s head. The arrow pierced the skin but was caught by the muscle, resulting in only a trickle of blood. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... In the span of a single breath, he shot three consecutive arrows, each one hitting the enemy’s head, but none were fatal. Jing Ji daringly approached again, stabbing his dagger towards the Dagon’s heart, but then he sensed an extreme sense of danger. It was too late to retreat. Boom! Like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. White qi burst forth from the Dagon’s body, akin to the sonic boom produced when a fighter jet breaks the sound barrier, blasting Jing Ji away.

In the nick of time, Jing Ji released "Silence" amidst the sonic boom to weaken the sound wave’s damage, but he was still blasted into a state of collapse, bones fractured in several places, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Legendary Dagon raised his longsword, and Ultrasonic Sword Energy slashed towards Jing Ji in mid-air. An explosive flame arrow flew in. Boom! A high-temperature flame burst upon the body of the Dagon, causing his longsword to swing off course. The Ultrasonic Sword Energy didn’t split Jing Ji in half, but the after-effects of the sword qi sliced through, causing a great spray of blood to erupt from his body. The leather armor turned to shreds, as if he had been cut by a thousand knives. Jing Ji threw his dagger before hitting the ground and used his last bit of energy to leap to a nearby location, but he lost his ability to fight. The Dagon paid no further attention to Jing Ji, turning his head towards Ji Xinghuo instead. The explosive flame arrow had not caused him any harm, for the flames couldn’t burn through the Star Power protection and had quickly died out, but the scorching pain made him grimace. The Dagon was of a waterborne race and disliked fire. Moreover, Ji Xinghuo had shot him in the head several times, which was also causing him a dull pain. From the start of the battle until now, all the pain he felt was inflicted by Ji Xinghuo. The Dagon decided to take out Ji Xinghuo first. The priority of killing an archer always came first. Bang, bang, bang... He stepped forward, wildly dashing through the marsh, leaving half-meter deep pools of water behind with each step, barreling towards Ji Xinghuo like a floating train. A terrifying blast of air rushed at him. Alex clenched his teeth and rose to his feet, his body exploding and turning into a sky full of Blood Arrows that shot towards the Dagon from all directions. "Scram!" The Dagon let out a roar, the sonic wave bursting out, clearing the Blood Arrows blocking his path. He ignored the arrows hitting his side and back, letting them strike him. Although they didn’t breach the protection, they slowed him down significantly. Yuan Chongzhen transformed back into the Black Iron Giant Ape, standing in front of Ji Xinghuo. "Go heal Jing Ji." Ji Xinghuo spoke calmly. Yuan Chongzhen knew he couldn’t hesitate at this moment and instantly turned into the Shadow Leopard, leaping towards Jing Ji. Just as Yuan Chongzhen left, the Dagon’s attack arrived. A huge swath of invisible Ultrasonic Sword Energy tore through the air with a whistling sound, slashing towards Ji Xinghuo and leaving almost no room for evasion.
