Chapter 292: Heavy Damage!
Chapter 292: Heavy Damage!
Early on, as "Xiao Yan" was gathering his power, Xiao Jin's body surged with a vast golden energy, which eventually concentrated almost entirely into his right hand.
As the golden energy around him furiously converged, Xiao Jin's fingertip radiated an extremely dazzling golden light, shining almost brighter than the sun in the sky above.
"Ha!"
As the crescent blade unleashed by "Xiao Yan" approached, the air around Xiao Jin instantly solidified. He pointed his finger towards "Xiao Yan" and, with a youthful shout, a burst of golden light flashed violently from his fingertip, shooting out a very fine beam of light at an alarmingly fast speed. As it traveled, it caused the space it passed through to tremble, leaving a stark black trail in the azure sky, creating a glaring sight.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless people in the city, the space-slicing crescent blade and Xiao Jin's lightning-like golden energy beam collided with a thunderous crash in the blue sky, unleashing a horrific energy shockwave. The immense pressure from the collision caused many buildings in Stone Desert City to collapse abruptly, pinning weaker individuals to the ground.
"What kind of terrifying power is this?"
"The energy shock from the clash, even from this distance, still impacts me!"
At this moment, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, along with others who had retreated outside the city, felt the aftershocks, their faces showing signs of palpitations.
Meanwhile, in a certain part of Stone Desert City, Liu Ling suddenly stood on the roof of a building sturdy enough to withstand the energy fluctuations. He waved frantically at Xiao Jin, shouting, "Xiao Jin, move further away or fly higher when you fight him, don't affect the civilians in the city!"
Hearing Liu Ling's urgent shouts, Xiao Jin responded in his youthful voice to "Xiao Yan", "Do you dare to fly higher with me to fight?"
"Of course!"
Upon hearing Xiao Jin's challenge, Yao Lao almost instantly agreed, his heart also unwilling to harm the innocent.
Following "Xiao Yan's" response in a somewhat aged voice, Xiao Jin and "Xiao Yan" gradually turned into two small points of light, one white and one golden, under the gaze of numerous onlookers in the city.
Reaching even higher in the sky, Xiao Jin looked at "Xiao Yan" with an intense eagerness to battle.
This was still the first opponent he had encountered while being with Liu Ling who could match him in combat.
"Ha!"
After shouting, Xiao Jin's figure rapidly closed the distance to "Xiao Yan", moving at such a speed that even "Xiao Yan" struggled to react.
In just an instant, "Xiao Yan" felt a tremendous force accompanied by a sonic boom hit his back.
Turning around with effort, "Xiao Yan" saw the golden energy whip hurtling towards him. He waved his sleeve, and a large mass of chilly white flames burst out from within. The flames quickly condensed in front of him into an ice mirror, resembling a block of ice but still covered with wisps of white flame. The mingling of ice and fire created a bizarre and coexistent visual.
"Boom!"
The golden energy whip crashed heavily against the ice mirror. At the point of contact, the white flames surged upward, and any part of the energy whip it touched instantly froze into solid ice.
However, as bizarre as the white flames were, the kinetic energy contained within the energy whip was simply too immense. Therefore, as the white flames climbed halfway, they exhausted their strength, and the surging energy behind shattered everything into nothingness.
The golden energy whip broke through the white flames and then smashed heavily onto the ice mirror. Immediately, the ice mirror wobbled precariously, cracks spread across its surface, and it finally shattered into a cloud of ice fragments.
Afterward, "Xiao Yan's" body was forcefully pushed back several steps before he managed to stop.
"This body is ultimately not my own, and even the reactions are much slower!"
Regaining his stance, "Xiao Yan" muttered quietly, then his gaze fixed firmly on the eager blonde-haired boy in the distance, thinking, "This transformative beast is inherently a bit stronger than my current state, plus my control over this body isn't thorough, and my strength continues to wane. Continuing this battle, defeat is inevitable!"
At that moment, "Xiao Yan's" eyes, glowing with white light, gradually became resolute.
The next instant, he swung his black ruler, fiercely unleashing a white energy blast towards Xiao Jin before swiftly retreating.
This time, seeing "Xiao Yan" actually start to flee, Xiao Jin smartly chose not to intercept the attack. Instead, he used his extraordinary speed to circumvent it.
"Don't run!"
Soon, the accelerating "Xiao Yan" heard a child-like voice nearly whispering in his ear.
Then, as "Xiao Yan" swiftly turned around, he saw a small golden fist appearing in his enlarged pupils.
Like a flash of thunder and lightning, the golden fist, accompanied by a sonic boom, rapidly struck towards "Xiao Yan's" back.
The immense oppressive force caused ripples around the fist as it moved through space.
Just as the golden fist was about to strike him, "Xiao Yan" almost instinctively placed the black ruler behind his back.
"Boom!"
As the golden fist hit the massive black ruler, a loud clash of metal resounded through the sky.
The force from the ruler then transmitted to his back and spread throughout his body, turning "Xiao Yan's" face pale as he finally couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood, which he spat out. Leveraging the force of the blow, his body was propelled further backward.
"Humph, don't think you can run!"
Seeing "Xiao Yan" attempting to flee, Xiao Jin pursued him. However, after a short chase, he seemed to suddenly remember something, pausing briefly before his figure headed straight towards Stone Desert City below.
...
Seeing Xiao Jin stepping down from the void, Liu Ling immediately asked, "Xiao Jin, you're back so soon, did you kill that guy?"
Hearing Liu Ling's question, Xiao Jin vigorously shook his head, then slowly said, "Brother Liu, the guy was fighting and then suddenly started getting weaker, and then he tried to run away!"
"Did you just let him go like that?" Liu Ling asked in surprise, halfway through the conversation.
"Hehe, of course not!"
Xiao Jin suddenly chuckled mischievously, his expression quite proud as he said, "He hadn't gotten far when I caught up with him and gave him a good punch, making him spit blood!"
"He spat blood, and then what?"
Liu Ling was eager to know the outcome.
