Chapter 375: Zhang Lie Steps Forward

contemporary romance

Xiao Zhengyang's radiance grew even brighter. He scorched and incinerated the snakes as he transformed into a meteoric beam of light and burst out of the snakes' enclosure.

The air suddenly felt dry and arid; the fighters' throats were parched. Nevertheless, they shouted even more loudly, "We will not submit! Qi will not fall!"

The sura elder made his move. Bloody fog filled the skies and gusted toward Xiao Zhengyang.

Xiao Zhengyang dispelled that fog with a burst of light, then charged toward the elder with his fists at the ready. The blinded elder was unable to defend himself, but before Xiao Zhengyang's fists could land, a figure dashed into the fray and blocked Xiao Zhengyang's fists with a gigantic black palm.

Against that palm, Xiao Zhengyang felt powerless—the sura king had forced himself between the two combatants. He glanced at Xiao Zhengyang with some interest. "Oh, you're quite strong for a human!"

Xiao Zhengyang glanced at the figure seriously. "I've been waiting for you for quite some time, sura king."

As long as he was able to win against the sura king, the sura would retreat.

The sura elder hurriedly bowed. "Your highness."

The sura king waved a hand at him. "Back down— I'll take over from here!"

.

"Yes, your highness!"

Xiao Zhengyang's eyes brimmed with killing intent. "I had intended on killing that elder before hunting you down. Should I thank you for saving me some effort, then?"

As he circulated his genetic energy at maximum output, radiance erupted from the skies, breaking apart the bloody clouds that covered the sun and illuminating all of Qi. Human fighters from all over the city could see the radiance that he gave off, as well as the pillar of light that reached toward the skies.

"The governor will shield us! Qi will not fall!"

"We will not submit! Qi will not fall!"

"The governor will shield us! Qi will not fall!"

"This is a pillar of victory, I'm sure of it!"

Light glowed so brightly from Xiao Zhengyang's body that it seemed to have taken on a condensed form, shocking the gathered sura fighters.

As Xiao Zhengyang burned his very lifeforce to augment his strength, the light reached such an astounding brightness that no one could open their eyes. The alien races began fearing for their lives, hardly able to imagine that there would be someone in Qi with such strength. Xiao Zhengyang was far stronger than anyone had imagined!

Zhou Ming clenched his fists tightly in excitement. "This is the governor of Qi!"

"Die! This human city isn't something you can corrupt at will, sura king!" Xiao Zhengyang punched forward with the strongest blow in his life, as the light exuding from his body was all concentrated in a single point.

The next moment, an explosion of radiant light shook the entire city of Qi.

"What a nuisance!" As the light pierced everything, the sura king yawned and evoked his domain, a sea of blood, which drowned out the light.

The next moment, the sea of blood morphed into a blood cyclone, gulping down whatever rays of light remained from Xiao Zhengyang's attack.

The human fighters' delighted cries came to an abrupt halt; no one could speak. They stood stock-still as they watched Xiao Zhengyang fall to the ground. The difference in strength was absolute; Xiao Zhengyang simply couldn't compete with the sura king.

Despite using his strongest attack, one which burned away his very lifeforce, Xiao Zhengyang lost to the sura king in just one blow.

It was true that the sura king had to treat this attack rather seriously, but it didn't change the fact that Xiao Zhengyang had been defeated.

The morale of the human fighters quickly dropped to a nadir. Xiao Zhengyang had intended on killing the sura king in one decisive blow and changing the tide of the battle. Even if he lost, as long as he dug in and refused to back down, he believed he would be able to increase the morale of the fighters, but he had hardly expected to lose so decisively.

Actions spoke louder than words; Xiao Zhengyang's ignominious defeat felt as though it were a premonition of what would happen to the human fighters.

The sura elder roared in laughter. "Haha! Did you see that? Humans, bow down to us—only then will you be able to survive!"

Xiao Zhengyang's defeat affected even the hunters fighting on the other three fronts. The fighters glanced up at the skies in a daze when Xiao Zhengyang's beacon of light vanished; the alien races took this opportunity to strike.

Zhou Ming was the first to react. "Don't let them into Qi!"

On the other side of the city, Xia Na shouted, "For the good of mankind! Everyone, charge with me!"

The special forces troops never backed down. They used techniques that burned their potential and their very life, but it all seemed hopeless. One man couldn't change the tide of the battle.

As invader after invader reached the city, a horde of dragons suddenly fell from the skies.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Hundred Dragons Soaring]!" Each dragon soared forward with a gaping maw, gobbling down every invader in sight.

Quite a few invaders, sensing something amiss, began to back away. "The humans laid a trap for us!"

None of them had expected to find another strong hunter besides Xiao Zhengyang within the city. They believed that Xiao Zhengyang's death would be an opportunity for them, but somehow found themselves against a whole horde of black dragons.
