Chapter 115: The Battle
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
As the fire dragon dove down, Long Qingying raised both her hands and pushed forward. Following her moves, all the metal objects a hundred meters around her flew toward her from all direction, quickly forming a web and s.h.i.+elding Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing.
The fire dragon swished down along with a scorching hot gust of wind, lunging toward Long Qingying’s metal web.
Boom!
A m.u.f.fled noise was heard as the fire dragon was temporarily stopped by the metal web. However, Long Qingying moaned in pain with a m.u.f.fled voice as she felt a great pressure, even bending her legs slightly.
But soon, she stood straight again against the pressure given by the fire dragon. Her face paled a little, with her teeth clenched. A few drops of blood were squeezed out of her mouth corner.
“You’re pretty strong. I’d like to know how long you can last,” Huo Wu sneered and waved his hand. The fire dragon rose into the sky again, then flipped in the air and made another dive fiercely toward Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing.
While diving down, the fire dragon’s fire had been gathering toward its head from its body. As a result, the dragon head instantly turned huge.
The roar uttered from the widely opened dragon mouth sounded like a fiery hurricane.
“No! You can’t hold it off! Move!” The look in Du Yuanxing’s face changed as he saw the suddenly expanded dragon head. While shouting, he rushed at Long Qingying, brought her down, and immediately rolled to the side together with her.
Bang!
Right after that, the fire dragon’s head smashed into the spot where Long Qingying stood just now. Along with the thunderous sound, her metal web shattered completely.
Following a series of clanks and clangs, a giant number of metal objects fell to the ground.
The fire dragon didn’t disappear after destroying the metal web, but coiled its body on the ground, then sprung back up and again and became an enormous fire dragon head.
After rolling to the side, both Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying leaped up from the ground immediately and raised their arms.
The metal objects which had fallen to the ground gathered toward Long Qingying once again, then soon turned into countless sharp arrows. As she swung her arms, over a hundred arrows shot at Huo Wu.
Huo Wu reacted fast by waving a hand. The fire dragon leaped before his body, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed all the metal arrows. A few seconds later, it opened its mouth again and spat something out.
Those were Long Qingying’s metal arrows, except all being molten.
At the same time, Du Yuanxing, who stood by her side, waved his arms as well. An arm-thick electric current was released from his palms, sizzling toward Huo Wu like an electric snake.
The distance between him and Huo Wu was merely about twenty meters. The electric snake directly extended to twenty meters long; its head flashed toward Huo Wu while its tail was still held in Du Yuanxing’s hands.
The electric snake moved so swiftly that before the fire dragon swallowed Long Qingying’s arrows, it had already reached Huo Wu’s feet and opened its jaws to bite.
Huo Wu waved his hand at that moment, after which, the fire dragon before him split into two, one of them directly biting at Du Yuanxing’s electric snake.
Puff! Bang!
Following an explosive sound, Du Yuanxing’s electric snake was dissipated.
At that point, the people from both sides had shown their powers. Huo Wu’s fire dragon was gigantic, swift, and powerful. Moreover, he was able to control two fire dragons to attack at the same time.
Long Qingying’s movements had a large range, but weren’t powerful enough. It was easy for her to deal with zombies, but when facing the level-six Huo Wu, things had become a little difficult.
Huo Wu’s fire dragon had swallowed Long Qingying’s metal arrows and chewed Du Yuanxing’s electric snake, meaning that he was able to invalidate both of their attacks. Nevertheless, the two weren’t able to destroy his fire dragon.
That was the difference between their powers.
Furthermore, Huo Wu hadn’t even launched his most potent attack yet.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that moment, a series of gunshots were heard.
Huo Wu swung his arm sideways. Following his move, the second fire snake hovered around his body to defend him against the bullets flying at him. He turned his head to find that Cai Hongqing and the others had moved behind and shot at him from the back.
Can Hongqing was only at level-four, and he had just stepped into that level not long ago. His green power couldn’t be used for launching effective attacks. Only in places like parks or woods was he able to attack with his power. However, as he didn’t have a good control over his power, his superpower attack could hardly harm strong enemies.
Therefore, he preferred to attack with guns directly!
He wasn’t trying to do any harm to the six-level Luowu. Instead, he just wanted to distract him.
As Huo Wu turned his head, Long Qingying instantly gritted her teeth and raised her arms toward the surrounding metal objects. Her arms attracted all the metal pieces again like two magnets. Then, she turned the metal pieces into a metal ball and threw it up, sending it toward Huo Wu.
The metal ball had a radius of only a meter and two inches, but it was extremely heavy, about two-hundred kilograms. As it was thrown down from high up in the air, it became several times more powerful than it should be.
The metal ball fell down toward Huo Wu quickly. When he turned back to look at Cai Hongqing and the others, he was going to swing an arm to control a fire dragon and swallow them. But, before he could do that, he sensed the large metal ball which was thrown at him by Long Qingying.
Therefore, he immediately gave up on attacking Cai Hongqing and his teammates who were running away, but turned back to raise both arms high.
In the next moment, a fire dragon shrank and flashed across the air, appearing above his head within a blink. Then, it expanded again and opened its mouth to swallow the falling metal ball.
Under Huo Wu’s control, the fire dragon suddenly turned toward Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing. On its way, it opened its mouth again and spat the metal ball back out, making it fly at the two.
Looking at the metal ball which was flying swiftly at herself, Long Qingying paused in shock. When she realized what was happening, she found that her body was no longer under her control.
Just now, she had consumed a large amount of energy to create the metal ball and make it fly in the air. So, she was exhausted at the moment, and the exhaustion directly affected her physical coordination.
Therefore, she couldn’t even make a roll to dodge the metal ball this time
“It’s dangerous! Run!” Du Yuanxing had sensed that Long Qingying was in danger back when the fire dragon spat the metal ball out. However, he was a little far away from her at the moment, and it was already too late for him to try saving her.
He only managed to utter a growl while watching the metal ball falling toward her head.
