Chapter 187: Final Form
The dragonman youngster’s face flashed with a queer expression.
When Hun Tong personally contacted him, the price he offered truly moved the heart.
It was evident that this time, Hun Tong was hiring the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps in good faith.
Not long after Hun Tong contacted him, Zi Di also used a communication device to get in touch with the dragonman youngster.
“My Lord, Qing Xin’s situation is getting worse.”
“We might need to come to the rescue!”
Cang Xu had already snuck onto the Iron Lump and was attempting to control the magic ship.
He was the only person on the ship, everything else was alchemy puppets.
But he completely understood that this ship was not like the Vinegar Jar, it couldn’t go on dry land.
Zi Di needed to keep watch on the Deep Sea Monster Fish, and if just Cang Xu and the alchemy puppets came ashore to help Qing Xin and the others, they wouldn’t be a considerable force.
Because Cang Xu couldn’t publicly use necromancy.
Without that, he and the alchemy puppets couldn’t change the situation there.
Zi Di considered past causes and future effects; only the dragonman youngster would have the most certainty of success.
“Just now, Hun Tong decided to contact me to hire us to destroy the fishman magician’s casting. Of Hun Tong’s two magicians, the alchemy is lost and the pharmacist returned alive but is seriously injured.” The dragonman youngster explained the situation to Zi Di.
Since Hun Tong wanted to hire the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, he naturally informed the dragonman youngster of the pertinent information.
After Zi Di obtained this information, she muttered to herself, “Shi Fa should have been teleported to the underground depths. The caster is likely him!”
“No matter what the enemy wants to do, breaking the cast is absolutely the right decision.”
“But I fear the underground is very dangerous.”
“The magic fluctuation was very strong, the fishman caster’s location is easily determinable. This also means that they foresee our obstruction and should have deployed defensive measures.”
“We don’t have anyone good at detecting magic traps, a deficiency of ours.”
“If we really want to go, we can utilize scouting puppets to go ahead and sacrifice themselves to trigger the magic traps.
The dragonman youngster knew he was faced with another choice.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had been involved in the battle for Two Eyes Island since the beginning.
Although the dragonman youngster didn’t want to fight, as the situation developed, he and the entire Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps became stuck in the battlefield, unable to free themselves from it.
Agreeing to Hun Tong’s offer would be profitable. When Zi Di heard his opening offer, Zi Di unconsciously took in a breath in excitement.
But the risks were also massive.
Qing Xin over there also needed help.
Zi Di was good at understanding others, and didn’t advise the dragonman youngster to help Qing Xin, instead she gave him options.
But how could the dragonman youngster not know how important Qing Xin was to Zi Di?
Therefore, the dragonman youngster was more inclined to help Qing Xin.
Furthermore, dealing with Hu Li was far easier than dealing with the caster underground.
“It would be strange to recklessly provide assistance.”
“As the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps does not have sufficient motive to help Qing Xin.”
“Furthermore, regardless of either choice, breaking out of the port battlefield will be costly.”
The dragonman youngster sighed to himself.
The port battlefield had already reached its climax.
Regardless of human or fishman, the fierce fighting had sunken into a malevolent frenzy.
Retreating now would put a red eye on their backs for their enemies, undoubtably courting death.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had just been established, and its members were in a killing frenzy, not all of them would heed the dragonman youngster’s order.
If the dragonman youngster gave the order to retreat, some would comply, and some wouldn’t.
Differing ideas creates different actions. Some wanting to retreat while others wanting to fight would crumble the front line and give the enemy a golden opportunity to storm through.
“Therefore, there is really only one choice before me.”
“That is to kill them!”
The dragonman youngster’s amber vertical pupils glistened with sharp radiance.
Tempestuous battle intent churned constantly from his heart.
The spiky fishman on board the Vinegar Jar firmly gazed at the dragonman youngster in the distance.
He saw the dragonman youngster suddenly stop moving, then heard the dragonman youngster’s loud declaration.
“Enough.”
“I am already fed up!”
“Fishmen, open your big eyes and watch well.”
“Witness my final form!”
A moment later, the spiky fishman’s eyes widened.
He saw the dragonman youngster’s body transform.
His originally smooth and sleek arms, back, legs, and other body parts formed ring mounds on them.
It was the spurting smoke ring mounds.
Click, click.
The sound came from these ring mounds as saffron flames constantly flashed out.
The Spurting Smoke Dragon bloodline!
Silver battle qi looked like a flame that burned across the youngster’s red dragon scales.
His silver life aura was displayed ostentatiously all around.
No matter who saw it, everyone knew Long Fu was using a trump card!
Under the stares of many people, the dragonman youngster slowly crouched to a half kneel.
He adopted a running start position.
His thick and broad back and vigorous muscle were magnified, along with his fervent masculine aura.
Ding!
Two gigantic spurting smoke ring mounds on his back jetted out fire at the same time.
A strong driving force suddenly erupted!
In the same moment, the dragonman youngster sprinting at maximum speed.
Whoosh!
In an instant, he turned into a walking red artillery shell that plunged into the Vinegar Jar.
Wherever he went, regardless of fishmen defensive positions or port buildings, all were knocked to the wayside and into the air.
Devastated and destroyed!
“He’s coming, he’s coming!” Peng Ding Zi’s heart jumped as he shouted in a flurry.
The dragonman youngster’s burst of unprecedented speed, his sturdy body and defense similar to gold armor combined to create a projectile that was a fatal threat to the enemy.
“Is this Long Fu’s true strength? No wonder he can restrain the nascent gold level Shi Qi,”
“Don’t panic!”
“That kind of straight running makes him a target.”
Xi Dai Zi forced himself to calm down and fired the cannons at once.
The water cannons fired at the dragonman youngster.
Because both people were facing each other, barely a half second later, the shells were shooting towards dragonman youngster.
The dragonman youngster was prepared for this, and when he saw the cannons firing, he had already begun to sidestep them.
His sidestep was different from normal ones.
He simply stretched both hands to his left.
His right arm straightened and extended its palm, pointing the spurting smoke ring mound to the space on his left.
He bent his left arm’s elbow and also opened his palm, pointing both the left too.
Ding.
Three ring mounds sparked with yellow light.
The strong motive power instantly produced firmly pushed the dragonman youngster to the right.
In everyone’s field of view, this is what they saw:
As the water cannon shells came, the dragonman youngster suddenly changed the direction of his charge, turning his perfectly straight movement to the right.
The water cannon shells brushed past the dragonman youngster.
This was the result of the dragonman youngster’s arduous practice!
Without that hard training, he would have been hit by the water cannons, undoubtably wounding him and delaying his battle opportunity.
The dragonman youngster had dodged the water cannons, and in the blink of an eye, arrived at the bottom of the Vinegar Jar.
He hadn’t been far from the magic ship to start with.
With a bang, the dragonman youngster crashed into the Vinegar Jar, leaving a dragonman shaped crater in the steel hull.
The dragonman youngster’s speed vanished as a result.
He shook his head, slightly throwing off the dizziness he felt.
His strong defense here seemed very reliable.
The dragonman youngster bent his body, and like an ambushing tiger ready to pounce for the kill.
His four limbs acted together as he ran up the perpendicular Vinegar Jar’s side.
His harp dragon claws let marks in his path.
His body was nearly level with the side of the ship, still quite fast as his dragon tail was held up high.
Peng Ding Zi, stationed on the side of the ship, locked onto the youngster, ready on the deck.
But then the dragonman youngster suddenly changed direction, instead running towards a hole in the hull.
It had been the hole Chi Lai had created with his shell.
Peng Ding Zi turned pale with fright; he immediately pulled back and rushed to the ship’s ladder.
The dragonman youngster drilled his way into the big hole and happened to run into the knight fishman.
Xi Dai Zi had deployed him there.
He had Peng Ding Zi outside on the deck and the knight fishman stationed at this hole.
Seeing the far stronger dragonman youngster charging in, the knight fishman yelled and braced himself for the approach.
Bang.
The dragonman youngster’s fist smashed into his belly.
The knight fishman’s exoskeleton shattered, a fist sized hole forming in it.
He flew into the air and smashed into a wall, leaving him stuck in it and hanging in an awkward position.
The dragonman youngster didn’t move to finish him off, instead he ran to the ship’s ladder, wanting to reach the bottom floor.
At that crucial moment, Peng Ding Zi met him, dancing with death to do so.
Bang, bang, boom.
The dragonman youngster beat up the knight fishman and Peng Ding Zi, putting them in a losing position.
The two silver level fishmen were unable to retaliate.
Yet their fighting spirit was strong, and they wouldn’t retreat at the risk of their lives.
Xi Dai Zi in the cockpit beneath used the ship’s monitoring installations to watch the fight play out, his heart couldn’t help but fear trepidation in the face of disaster.
“The Bursting Explosion battle qi technique, Demolition Fist, and the Surge battle skill, along with those round mounds.
“They are all a perfect match!”
“Not just two silvers, if there was a third, I fear his path still wouldn’t be blocked.”
Xi Dai Zi’s scalp went numb.
The dragonman youngster’s trump card made him feel incomparably thorny.
“I can’t stay in the cockpit anymore.”
“It’s too dangerous here.”
Xi Dai Zi opened a secret box and took out a crystal ball.
The crystal ball was a movement control device, it could control the Vinegar Jar to an extent.
Of course, its functions were basic and didn’t match the cockpit’s features.
Xi Dai Zi began to slip away.
Not long after, the dragonman youngster smashed into the bottom floor, but upon breaking down the door, he couldn’t find Xi Dai Zi.
Peng Ding Zi and the fishman knight were injured all over yet were fearlessly throwing themselves from behind.
The dragonman youngster was uninterested in them.
He attacked while moving, actively searching for Xi Dai Zi.
Xi Dai Zi was hiding everywhere, playing a fatal game of hide and seek with the dragonman youngster.
“Long Fu really is a humanoid cannon.”
“Wherever he goes, things explode.”
“How is he this strong?!”
“This can’t continue. Not only will those two be blown to bits by Long Fu, but the Vinegar Jar will also be gravely wounded and unable to set sail again.”
Xi Dai Zi knew things were going south.
While hiding, he used the water crystal ball to command the Vinegar Jar to keep firing, slaughtering humans while sending a distress call to Er Gua Zi.
Er Gua Zi was busy fighting Song Shou on a beach.
He was on the offensive while Song Shou was forced to passively defend.
Er Gua Zi firmly held the advantage, but when he heard Xi Dai Zi’s call for help, he turned around to head to the port after a moment’s hesitation.
“Long Fu has spoiled my good fun.”
“I will kill you!”
