296: Chapter 296 The Late Knight! A furious kick to the enemy's kidneys.

"It's here!" The three of them had their pupils shrink, subconsciously assuming a defensive stance.

However, that ball of Black Flame meteor didn't even glance at them.

"BOOM!!!" The violent black fire swept through the air, and in the instant the Black Flame meteor brushed past the three of them, they saw clearly.

In the center of those pitch-Black Flames, a man with a ruthlessly cool, wild slicked-back hairstyle, eyes burning with endless Black Flame, and an aura exuding the vibe of "I'll look cool even if the world ends," was tearing through the air in an extremely arrogant manner!

"Lu... Lu Xingye?!" Qin Zhuo screamed, her eyes filled with the absurdity of seeing a ghost.

How could it be him?! That captain of the Magic City Martial Arts University second team, whom everyone regarded as a clown?

The blood energy fluctuation he just emitted... it actually faintly surpassed Peak Fourth-Order and was frantically slamming against the threshold of the Fifth-Order!

"Magic City Martial Arts University... have they been hiding so deep?!" Yan Qinghuan was completely stunned. He felt that the glance Lu Xingye had swept over him with actually made him, a Shushan genius, feel a sense of trembling, an urge to submit.

However, before the three of them could recover from their shock, an earth-shattering commotion came from behind again.

"For justice! For the Goddess!"

"Follow Alliance Leader Lu to crusade against the rebels!!!"

Under the dull gazes of Qin Zhuo and the others, a large group of people, all with Black Flames burning on them to varying degrees and eyes as fanatical as cultists, the "Xingye Coalition," came rushing over in a mighty torrent.

Their steps were uniform, and every face was written with the high-spirited fighting spirit of "I want to go to the battlefield."

And walking at the very front of this "demon army" was a figure that made Qin Zhuo's eyes widen.

That is... Captain Shen Xiuan?!

At this moment, Captain Shen Xiuan, though still dressed in his black-rimmed glasses, had an extremely solemn expression. His body was wrapped in faint Black Flame, looking exactly like Lu Xingye's most loyal Paladin Commander.

As he sprinted, he shouted at the top of his lungs with a tragic roar:

"The Goddess cannot be defiled! Long live Alliance Leader Lu!!!"

Qin Zhuo: "..."

Yan Qinghuan: "..."

Helan Que: "..."

At this moment, the three top prodigies felt their worldviews being ground into the dirt, and they even began to suspect that the world had gone mad.

That Lu Xingye, who only knew how to make chuunibyou remarks, had not only hidden his Peak Fourth-Order combat strength.

He had even, for god's sake, forcibly "brainwashed" their Imperial Capital Martial Arts University second team captain in just ten minutes?!

"Magic City Martial Arts University..." Qin Zhuo gritted her teeth until they cracked, her beautiful eyes filled with horror:

"These guys... just what kind of monsters are they!!!"

The three of them looked at each other and no longer cared about stealing kills. They had to see the outcome of this variable that was enough to overturn the entire chaotic battle!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three streaks of light accelerated instantly, trailing behind the Xingye Coalition, heading straight for the core coordinates where the final collision was about to erupt!

A dozen kilometers away, in the main battlefield of Magic City that had already been battered into a mess.

"Huff... huff..." Xie Fuyao, Senior Ji Youyou, and Qiu Yunan stood up tremblingly, panting heavily.

Facing Zhao Zhenlei, who was at the Early Fifth-Order, the three top prodigies of Magic City Martial Arts University were beaten until they had no power to parry, their team uniforms torn with several bloody gashes.

And opposite them, shirtless and like an ancient demon god, Zhao Zhenlei stood proudly.

His roar, which was like a map-wide loudspeaker, had been echoing through the entire primeval forest for quite a while.

After roaring, Zhao Zhenlei didn't relax his vigilance; instead, he contracted the gravity field of [Absolute Mass] to within ten meters of himself.

His muscles were taut, and his eyes scanned every shadow around him like a radar.

"Hmph! Still not coming out? Your composure is really not bad!"

Zhao Zhenlei clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, and a smirk of extreme confidence curled at the corners of his mouth:

"However, in front of Old Zhao's ultimate provocation tactic, even if you're a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise, today you have to stick your head out for me!"

Just as Zhao Zhenlei was frantically adding drama to his own performance in his mind, feeling that his psychological tactics were invincible. Suddenly!

"Rumble—!" In the distant primeval forest, a series of extremely violent tree-toppling sounds rang out!

Following that, a terrifyingly violent black blood energy fluctuation, filled with extreme resentment and killing intent, like an ancient beast released from its cage, was tearing towards his location at a terrifying speed!

Zhao Zhenlei's copper-bell-sized eyes lit up, and his ecstasy was instantly written all over his face!

"It's here!"

Zhao Zhenlei feeling the aura approaching rapidly, his Brain began its extremely smooth self-indoctrination deduction again:

"This aura... pitch black, oppressive, filled with the desire for destruction!"

"And the intensity is Peak Fourth-Order, infinitely close to Fifth-Order! It definitely isn't that fire-user Qin Zhuo, nor that water-user Chu Tiankuo, and definitely not that blind man Yan Qinghuan!"

"Eliminating all impossibilities, the person coming is most likely..."

Zhao Zhenlei was trembling with excitement, slapped his thigh, and laughed wildly at the sky:

"Hahahaha! Jiang You! You turtle hiding your head, finally, Old Zhao has forced you out!"

Feeling that the black aura had approached to within a hundred meters in the bushes. Zhao Zhenlei let out a fanatical shout, his Early Fifth-Order blood energy exploding, and he struck an extremely domineering, master-like opening stance to face the enemy!

"Rustle, rustle—!" The towering bushes in front shook violently!

Zhao Zhenlei was high in fighting spirit, took a deep breath, and prepared to deliver a passionate pre-battle speech in front of the live broadcast cameras for the hundred thousand viewers across Great Xia, to demonstrate the upright righteousness of his Northern Border Military Academy!

"Jiang You! You finally decided to roll out like a man..."

However. Zhao Zhenlei hadn't even finished his impassioned lines yet.

"Swish—!!!"

A black afterimage, burning with eerie Black Flame, didn't jump out from the front bushes to clash with him as he had imagined.

Instead, in an eerie and dishonorable way, it instantly arrived directly behind him!

"What?!" Zhao Zhenlei's pupils shrank, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. He just wanted to turn around to defend, but it was already too late!

He only heard a shameful and extremely furious chuunibyou war cry explode right behind his ear:

"How dare you touch my Goddess! Taste the Black Flame Dragon's wrathful flying kick!!!"

Immediately after.

Two feet, charged with the power of Peak Fourth-Order extreme Black Flame and carrying the mud from size 42 shoe soles, struck like two heavy siege hammers, kicking Zhao Zhenlei's extremely vulnerable lower back with extreme cruelty and ruthlessness!!!

With a muffled "bang"!

The dignified captain of the Northern Border Military Academy first team, possessing the SSS-grade Supernatural Ability [Absolute Mass], known as the "human nuclear bomb" with invincible physical body among his peers, Zhao Zhenlei!

At this moment, let out the most miserable, least human-like howl of his life!

So what if you have a tough Early Fifth-Order physical body?

You put all your defense points into your front, who the hell could have imagined that this legendary "unfathomable, calculating" peerless Demon King's first move upon appearing would be an extremely despicable double-footed kick to the kidneys from behind!!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under the impact of the massive kinetic energy, Zhao Zhenlei was like a giant human cannonball launched in an extremely brutal manner!

He couldn't even activate his gravity field to stabilize his form, flying sideways, "crack, crack," breaking a dozen towering trees that required three people to hug, and finally smashing miserably into a small hill!
