Chapter 170: The Enduring Dragonman
The port battlefield.
Battle skill – Demolition Fist!
A dragon fist smashed into the spiky fishman.
The spiky fishman used his arm like a shield, but when Demolition Fist hit it, it folded instantly and his defense crumbled.
An explosion banged, and the spiky fishman was thrown into the air by the dragonman youngster.
Winning this opportunity, the dragonman youngster didn’t relentlessly pursue the spiky fishman, instead he shifted directions, and charged at Xi Dai Zi.
His feet trampled across planks, the battle skill Surge exploding with formidable power!
The dragonman youngster traveled through the battlefield, jumping across ships and occasionally running across the sides of them and leaping from masts, making his trajectory hard to make sense of.
“Peng Ding Zi is useless!” Xi Dai Zi could only bite his teeth and use his magic to stop the dragonman youngster while retreating.
The two silver levels, Xi Dai Zi and the spiky fishmen, worked together to withstand the dragonman youngster, however, they were still suppressed and were unable to get the advantage.
Although Peng Din Zi was healed by Xi Dai Zi, his battle strength hadn’t recovered, and he couldn’t regain his peak within a timely window.
The dragonman youngster was too bold and powerful and was also an expert tactician.
He never let Xi Dai Zi cast with a peaceful mind.
The spiky fishman couldn’t stop him alone.
Xi Dai Zi interfered with the dragonman youngster, and after the dragonman youngster beat back the spiky fishman, he did the same, pursuing Xi Dai Zi to greatly disturb his actions.
The distance between the dragonman youngster and Xi Dai Zi swiftly shortened.
Seeing the tall and ferocious dragonman coming at him, Xi Dai Zi could sense a strong oppression!
He took out a totem from his storage belt and threw it behind him.
The dragonman youngster instantly sidestepped it.
The totem didn’t hit him, but after it landed onto the deck, it immediately erupted with magic power.
Magic covered the area.
Even though the dragonman youngster dodged it, he was still covered by the magic.
His speed suddenly dropped by more than two thirds.
The dragonman youngster was not amazed.
This was a speed reduction totem.
Xi Dai Zi used this item to fight for time earlier.
This time was no exception.
Xi Dai Zi once again put distance between him and the dragonman youngster.
“This can’t continue!”
Xi Dai Zi was coldly sweating, and his heart contained no joy.
He only had two speed reduction totems left.
If this situation continued, he would run out of options.
“Peng Din Zi, if you want to join the Vinegar Jar Pirates, you need to go all out and stop him for me!” Xi Dai Zi shouted in the fishman language.
When the spiky fishman heard this, he suddenly quivered and intense battle determination burst out of him.
He madly roared and threw himself at the dragonman youngster.
The dragonman youngster got out of the speed reduction magic’s range and had regained his normal agility.
But the spiky fishman was barring his way again.
Xi Dai Zi nevertheless kept moving.
He clenched his teeth as he threw out his remaining two totems from afar.
The two speed reduction totems overlapped with each other, covering both the dragonman youngster and the spiky fishman.
Soon after, Xi Dai Zi stopped and began to loudly chant.
Unlike before, he now had distance and decided to take a chance to stop and strive for more time to cast.
The spiky fishman risked his life to intercept the dragonman youngster, and he too was slowed down.
More crucially, the latter didn’t want to use all of his strength to deal with Xi Dai Zi.
Zi Di’s survey of the fishmen revealed another gold level that was hiding and hadn’t acted yet.
Xi Dai Zi’s heart slammed, he was afraid that the dragonman youngster would surmount the obstructions and leap at him, he didn’t know the dragonman youngster had actually been throwing the fight.
If his cast was disturbed, it was likely to fail. If it failed, he would suffer a backlash while dealing with the dragonman youngster coming right at him!
After a dozen seconds, Xi Dai Zi’s cast succeeded.
Only then did he breathe and relax his mind.
Magic power surged violently, causing moisture to curl around Xi Dai Zi, condensing into a many headed water snake.
Water path magic – Three Headed Water Snake!
The water snake was mammoth sized, light blue, and translucent. Within the snake, one could faintly see Xi Dai Zi.
With the water snake protection magic, Xi Dai Zi’s defense received a considerable boost.
If the dragonman youngster wanted to attack him again, he’d have to destroy the three headed water snake.
It was not Xi Dai Zi’s most powerful spell, but it was his best for both attack and defense.
In this kind of battle, this magic most suited him.
Xi Dai Zi’s choice was quite sensible.
“I did it!” Hehehe…”
Complacency welled up as Xi Dai Zi sneered, his eyes pouring with killing intent as he gazed at the dragonman youngster.
“Next shall be your moment of defeat!” Xi Dai Zi bellowed to himself, using his spirit to move the three headed water snake into a charge.
The water snake shouted and quickly surged towards the dragonman youngster.
The dragonman youngster was in the middle of fighting Peng Ding Zi, but his attention had always been focused on Xi Dai Zi.
Xi Dai Zi using the three headed water snake had been expected by the dragonman youngster.
Because beforehand, he had obtained information on it.
When Xi Dai Zi snuck onto Two Eyes Island, a fight had taken place that had exposed this battle skill.
When he heard the same chant, the dragonman youngster determined that they were going to use this spell, he audaciously relaxed and decided to stay his hand.
If it was an unknown magic, the dragonman youngster wouldn’t have let it slide.
The three headed snake charged in, and due to Peng Ding Zi and the speed reduction totems, he couldn’t retreat.
Now, it was time to see the dragonman youngster’s battle abilities.
He stamped his feet onto the deck, detonating an explosion under his dragon feet, causing his entire person to drop down through the broken deck.
Peng Ding Zi cried out, and not wanting to let the dragonman youngster escape, followed after.
He was a head shorter than the dragonman youngster, but now that the dragonman youngster had lowered himself, Peng Din Zi now had the height advantage as he raised his weapon above his head, then ferociously swung down.
The dragonman youngster wasn’t alarmed but delighted instead as he raised his palms upwards.
When they were about to touch the enemy’s weapon, battle qi bubbled out from the hollows of his palms and suddenly exploded.
The force of the explosion greatly boosted the dragonman youngster’s downward trajectory.
Two of the three headed snake’s heads tore from the left and right,, but they hit nothing.
The two heads nearly collided with each other.
The dragonman youngster had dodged his strike, leaving Xi Dai Zi exceptionally out of sorts.
He laughed nastily and used the fishman tongue to hoot, “Scuttle away, I’ll find where you’re hiding!”
The three headed water snake under his control crashed into the level below the deck.
Xi Dai Zi was a deep sea fishman and had dark eyesight; the suddenly change from light to darkness below deck did not disturb him at all.
But as soon as he charged down, he saw the dragonman youngster preparing an attack!
Battle skill – Surge!
Battle skill – Demolition Fist!
The dragonman youngster launched like a whirlwind!
Xi Dai Zi panicked, and due to their closeness, he couldn’t dodge.
However, he soon realized that he was within the three headed water snake had had layers of defense.
Xi Dai Zi was not a close ranged combatant, and his caster habits had caused him to slow a beat as he moved the three headed water snake’s nape to defend himself.
Boom!
A great clamor.
When both sides met with force, it generated a strong shockwave.
So strong that even the silver fighter Peng Ding Zi was forced back by the shockwave.
The tempestuous shockwave burst apart the ship.
For a split second, the second level deck became the first level deck, the bow house and the aft house both rocked, and the mast lifted up a bit, then fell into the sea.
The entire ship split in half, opening it wide open.
The shockwave dissipated the moisture.
The dragonman youngster jumped back, his gait relaxed.
Xi Dai Zi was pale, and his face was smeared with fear.
His three headed water snake only had one head left, the other two were severed necks and there was also a distinct crater in the snake’s belly. The crater’s bottom was less than a meter from Xi Dai Zi.
“He has the power to blow up the three headed water snake!” After realizing this, Xi Dai Zi suddenly felt that he had advanced too prematurely.
He immediately retreated and hoped that Peng Ding Zi would come to help him out of this trouble.
But when he turned around to look, he saw that Peng Ding Zi was in the process of stuffing seaweed into his mouth.
Xi Dai Zi: …..
He felt both indignant and powerless.
Because he could make out the seaweed Peng Ding Zi was eating grew on the seafloor and was a commonly used alchemy material that could be used to make most healing potions on the market.
The fishman clan had limited resources and didn’t have a pharmacist.
Therefore, fishmen often gathered these aquatic plants and ate them raw to recover their strength.
Peng Ding Zi was eating these aquatic plants because he was out of battle qi and needed to replenish it now.
He weas not like the dragonman youngster.
He had been fighting for a long time, while the dragonman youngster had fought for half as long as he.
The Spike Fishman bloodline also couldn’t compare the dragonman youngster’s legendary bloodline, therefore him running out of battle qi first was normal.
Perhaps due to this warning, Xi Dai Zi’s eyes flashed as he looked at the dragonman youngster again.
He knew the dragonman youngster cultivated the Bursting Explosion battle qi technique.
This information had been known by many people for a long time.
The Bursting Explosion battle qi technique was widely known for its powerful might and severe expenditure.
“Wait a moment, why isn’t he showing signs of battle qi exhaustion?”
“Even if he joined the battle late, this last fight was extremely intense, how could he still have abundant battle qi?”
“Impossible!”
“Even if he isn’t a spent force, his battle qi reserves are very dangerous.”
When Xi Dai Zi thought of this, his battle intent was invigorated and most of his fear dissipated.
But the dragonman youngster was not as inundated with feeling as he, and after a bit of adjustments, he charged at the three headed water snake again.
Bang, boom, ding!
Explosions rang in succession.
Xi Dai Zi fought back with all of his strength, but the three headed water snake’s enormous body manifested a systemic problem.
Due to its slow movements, it had nearly become the dragonman youngster’s punching bag.
“How can this be?”
Xi Dai Zi was beaten up, and although his body wasn’t harmed, his magic power was being fiercely depleted and his spirit power was drying up too, bringing pain to his entire head.
“How much battle qi does he have?”
The dragonman youngster was as vigorous as a dragon and as fierce as a tiger!
The dragonman youngster’s legend level bloodline gave him a battle qi reserve and recovery rate far beyond that of any normal person.
If Xi Dai Zi knew that the dragonman youngster wasn’t going all out, who knows what he would think?
