103: Desperate Thunder War

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A hint of disdain flashed in the Black Dragon King's eyes.

It lifted a steel claw.

With a clang, Lei Zhan parried with his twin knives.

The twin knives scraped against the Black Dragon King's claws, sending sparks flying.

Lei Zhan snorted coldly, “As expected of a dragon-type fierce beast known for its brutality; it truly is strong.”

“However, standing before you is a Lightning Element Martial Artist, known for the strongest attack power!”

“Lightning Cross Slash!”

His attack was blocked by the Black Dragon King.

Lei Zhan was not flustered in the slightest.

He retracted his knives and changed his move.

Another beautiful cross-lightning arc slashed towards the Black Dragon King.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant.

Lightning flashed, and winds swirled.

One person and one dragon battled with immense momentum.

“This Lei Zhan is indeed the Mutual Aid Society’s President.”

“His strength is much greater than Nangong Hao’s.”

Li Ziyu climbed up a large tree nearby.

He watched Lei Zhan, who was continuously striking with his knives, arcs of electricity flashing, and thought to himself.

“His strength is not weaker than half of mine.”

“It's roughly equivalent to my strength before I improved.”

Li Ziyu thought to himself.

“And this Black Dragon King, the strength of dragon-type fierce beasts is indeed stronger than ordinary fierce beasts. Their defense and speed are incomparable to regular fierce beasts.”

“It far exceeds the combat power of a typical Grade 4 advanced fierce beast.”

Since Lei Zhan said he shouldn't interfere.

He was happy to be idle.

After all, the hunting mission was a team mission.

If either of the two killed the Black Dragon King.

It would count as completing the mission.

However.

Li Ziyu also wasn't planning to let Lei Zhan personally kill the Black Dragon King.

At the last moment, he would step in and kill the Black Dragon King.

After all.

Killing fierce beasts could increase one's vital energy.

A moment later.

Half an hour passed.

Haa~

Li Ziyu sat on the tree trunk.

Watching the battle between the dragon and the human, he yawned idly.

“This Lei Zhan is a bit slow.”

“Half an hour has passed, and he still hasn't ended the battle. Is he really capable or not?”

At this moment, the battle between Lei Zhan and the Black Dragon King had already lasted for half an hour.

Lei Zhan, who had been at ease initially, also began to pant.

His hair was drenched with sweat, strand by strand.

Even his combat suit had several tears from the Black Dragon King's claws during the battle.

“Huff, huff, to battle a Grade 4 advanced dragon-type fierce beast for half an hour without losing, there probably aren't many seniors in all the martial arts universities across the nation who can do it.”

“Student Li Ziyu must have been shocked by my strength, right?”

Dodging the Black Dragon King's claw attack.

Lei Zhan glanced at Li Ziyu, who was standing in the distance, using his peripheral vision.

Seeing Li Ziyu staring at the battle in a daze.

Lei Zhan's lips unconsciously curved upwards.

“Heh, he’s probably stunned by my formidable strength.”

“That’s right, after all, I’m a rare Lightning Element Martial Artist, and Student Li Ziyu also uses a knife, so he must be impressed by my Lightning Knife Skill.”

“So next, it’s about wearing down the Black Dragon King.”

Thinking this.

Lei Zhan took out a tube of Dragon Marrow Fluid from his embrace and gulped it down.

As the vital energy-replenishing medicine entered his mouth.

Lei Zhan immediately felt strength return to his body.

His vital energy became abundant again.

“Hmph! No matter how strong you are, you’re just a fierce beast without intelligence!”

“I'll keep taking medicine and fighting; let’s see if I can’t wear you down!”

Saying that.

Lei Zhan raised his twin knives, preparing to charge forward and fight the Black Dragon King again.

But just then.

In the distance.

Dust suddenly rose.

Lei Zhan stopped and frowned, looking in one direction.

Li Ziyu also followed his gaze.

Only to see in the southeast direction of the forest.

Large flocks of birds soared into the sky.

Followed by booming sounds.

It was as if a giant tank was pushing and crushing everything in its path in the distance.

Trees along the way collapsed completely.

Stirring up gusts of flying sand and rolling stones.

“Hmm!? What’s going on? Has another fierce beast arrived?”

Lei Zhan frowned.

Judging by the commotion.

It was clear that a huge fierce beast was approaching.

No, that’s not right.

There is also a sense of territory between fierce beasts.

This area is the Black Dragon King's territory.

Other fierce beasts shouldn't dare to come over, should they?

Just then.

The booming sound grew louder and closer.

As if ten thousand horses were galloping.

Immediately after.

A giant beast’s roar soared into the sky.

Roar!

When Lei Zhan heard this sound.

All the hairs on his body immediately stood on end.

His eyes widened suddenly, his pupils contracting to pinpricks.

He stared at the direction of the roar with shock and disbelief:

“This roar…”

“Is it the Black Dragon King’s voice!?”

“Is another Black Dragon King coming??!”

“Damn! How can there be two Black Dragon Kings here??”

Before Lei Zhan could react.

The roar instantly appeared a few hundred meters in front of him.

Immediately after, a massive figure, with wings spread, crashed down like a meteorite hundreds of meters from Lei Zhan with a resounding boom.

Dust billowed, and the ground trembled.

The impact generated when this massive figure landed caused all the surrounding trees to snap.

Upon landing, it let out an earth-shattering roar towards Lei Zhan’s direction.

“Black… Black Dragon King!!”

“And a Black Dragon King even larger than this one!?”

Lei Zhan's face instantly turned pale, and all the hairs on his body stood on end with a whoosh.

Lei Zhan looked with a bitter expression at the Black Dragon King that appeared before him.

It was positioned to flank him with the other Black Dragon King, enclosing him in the middle.

The two-meter-long teeth of these two Black Dragon Kings clearly showed foul-smelling drool.

Lei Zhan even saw a playful expression on the faces of these two Black Dragon Kings.

“Damn! Aren't advanced fierce beasts always solitary!?”

“How could two appear together!?”

“Run!”

“Run fast!”

“Student Li Ziyu! I’ll hold them off, you immediately use your Subtle Body Movement and go!”

Lei Zhan jolted, suddenly reacting.

Then he turned his head and roared loudly at Student Li Ziyu in the distance:

“You’re fast, go back to the Wilderness Area now and get reinforcements! Tell them the news that there are two Black Dragon Kings in the Daxing Wilderness Area!”

“Bring reinforcements to save me!”

“There might still be a chance of survival!!!”

Lei Zhan roared, his eyes bloodshot.

The strength of this later Black Dragon King was clearly stronger than the first one!

He suspected that the strength of the second Black Dragon King might even have reached the peak of Grade 4!

If it were other fierce beasts.

It wouldn't be a big problem for Student Li Ziyu to hold them off for a bit.

But facing a Grade 4 peak-level Black Dragon King.

Even if he and Student Li Ziyu combined their strength, they probably wouldn't be enough to withstand a single claw strike.

The best solution now.

Was for him to hold off the two Black Dragon Kings, and then have Student Li Ziyu quickly return to get reinforcements.

This way, he might still have a glimmer of hope!

After speaking.

Lei Zhan rapidly tapped his right wrist several times.

This was a function every wristband had.

In times of crisis.

One could send out distress signals to those around.

However, he didn't place any hope on this.

Most people who came to the Daxing Wilderness Area were Grade 3 or Grade 4 Martial Artists.

Grade 4 advanced ones were very rare.

They would just be serving themselves up as food if they came.

“Damn it, I really shouldn’t have been so overconfident and taken on an S-rank hunting mission.”

“I originally wanted to be the captain, but now I might not even have the chance to participate in the National Martial Arts University League.”

A hint of bitterness flashed across Lei Zhan’s face as he said self-mockingly.

But immediately, the expression on Lei Zhan’s face returned to one of determination.

“Damn it! It’s just two Black Dragon Kings, what’s there to be afraid of?!”

“I’ve never tried challenging two Grade 4 advanced fierce beasts before!”

“Come on! Trump card!”

“Lightning Extreme State!!”

Lei Zhan took a deep breath and said.

Violent lightning flashed around him.

His entire body seemed to grow several inches taller out of thin air.

His aura also became even more formidable.

“This trump card of mine will require three months of rest after use. I originally planned to use it when participating in the Modu Martial Arts University League, but it seems I can’t now.”

“Student Li Ziyu, the important task of competing for rankings for our Modu University in the Modu Martial Arts University League is all up to you!”

After speaking.

Lei Zhan, holding his lightning twin knives.

Charged towards the larger of the two Black Dragon Kings.

This Black Dragon King was closest to Student Li Ziyu.

If he could just hold it off for a moment.

He could create an opportunity for Student Li Ziyu to escape.

Lei Zhan swung his knives with both hands, delivering a fierce slash to the Black Dragon King's scales.

But this strike, which could easily cut through steel.

When it struck the Black Dragon King's scales, it didn't even break its defense!

It only sent sparks flying.

A hint of playfulness flashed in the Black Dragon King's eyes.

With a roar, its tail turned into a streak of light and lashed out at Lei Zhan.

Lei Zhan parried with his twin knives, but this Black Dragon King's strength was clearly greater than the previous one.

With this single tail lash.

Lei Zhan was directly sent flying hundreds of meters away.

He happened to land exactly where Li Ziyu had been moments before.

Lei Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was preparing to continue fighting.

However, when he saw Student Li Ziyu sitting on the tree, with an eager expression.

Lei Zhan's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but curse:

“Holy crap! Bro!”

“Why didn’t you leave!?”

“Didn’t I just tell you to go get reinforcements!?!?”

Lei Zhan was dumbfounded.

Just now, he had used his trump card without hesitation.

It was all to buy time for Student Li Ziyu to escape and get reinforcements.

But now.

Student Li Ziyu was still sitting here, unmoved??
