Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy
Chapter 507 - 499: From this point, a straight line between two points.
CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 499: FROM THIS POINT, A STRAIGHT LINE BETWEEN TWO POINTS.
Above Cui City, a rare solemnity appeared on Su Ang’s face. He continuously unleashed Spirit Blades at that fireball, watching as it drew closer and lower.
Of course, he could dodge it, but behind him were thousands of humans, including her.
He couldn’t avoid it.
At this moment, he could either shield himself or attempt to attack the Fire Stream Dragon’s spiritual power, making it take the attack itself. However, the power it displayed was likely more than S-Class. If he rashly interfered with the Fire Stream Dragon’s spiritual power, he might fail or even provoke the creature to go on a rampage.
Not worth the gamble.
A response plan flashed in his mind. Su Ang raised his hand, layering dozens of heavy Spirit Shields on himself. Then, riding the wind, he headed towards the Energy Fireball. From a distance, it looked like a seemingly transparent white circle of spirit body, seemingly futile but firmly resisting the massive fireball flying through the sky.
The Spirit Shields on his body were constantly melting, as if being eroded by sulfuric acid. Su Ang gestured, and a massive wind tide began to roll upwards, striving to redirect the fireball’s trajectory. Once the fireball was far enough from the ground, it was pushed by the wind tide towards the Fire Stream Dragon!
The Fire Stream Dragon scoffed disdainfully. Its tough and agile dragon body swung, and with a flick of its tail, it struck the fireball. The immense impact caused it to explode mid-air, turning into an uncountable amount of ash and sparks, falling down.
"Too weak."
The Fire Stream Dragon sneered, spreading its wings suddenly, almost covering half the sky. Intense flames spewed from its open mouth, surging towards Su Ang like a destructive torrent. Su Ang dodged skillfully, quickly closing in on the Fire Stream Dragon, his gaze landing on the horns of the Fire Stream Dragon, his eyes narrowing slightly.
In the span of a few breaths, the Fire Stream Dragon unleashed several moves, all firmly withstood by Su Ang. He slashed at the Fire Stream Dragon with Wind Blades, but could only inflict paper-cut-sized wounds. At that moment, as Su Ang wielded the Wind Blade and approached the Fire Stream Dragon, its horns once again formed an Energy Fireball.
"This time, it won’t be so easy to dodge."
The Fire Stream Dragon smirked coldly, the Energy Fireball hurtling towards Su Ang’s face with terrifying speed. Su Ang’s vertical pupils narrowed as he quickly retreated, several Spirit Shields forming continuously in front of him, while behind him, countless Spirit Blades launched desperately at the fireball, but could not stop its advance. The blazing red fireball was close at hand, its intense energy and flames almost about to melt his eyeballs.
Su Ang shut his eyes.
"Su Ang!"
Suddenly, two enormous Spiritual Spears tore through the air, forcefully resisting the fireball. Su Ang’s eyes snapped open, "50 seconds."
The time until the fireball regathers: 50 seconds.
"Received!"
"Got it!"
Two black hovercars, like fleeting meteors, streaked past the Energy Fireball towards the Fire Stream Dragon. The sky filled with giant spears plunging like a rainstorm, leaving the Fire Stream Dragon with no choice but to let those spiritual power-conjured spears leave fine wounds on its scales, no matter how agile it was.
"Son! Watch carefully; this is how you use spiritual power!"
The right hovercar’s door opened, and Shangguan Qing, clad in an ink-colored Defense Armor, walked out heroically. As her black boots stepped into the air, they stirred a subtle ripple of spiritual power. She skipped in the air like an agile black starling, dodging the rain of giant spears, and landed on the Fire Stream Dragon.
"Step, step, step!" Then, like a bullet shooting forth, she darted quickly towards the dragon’s head along its body.
"Sikong Wang, come and cover me!" Within the Spirit Communication Network,
"Coming!"
In the other hovercar, Sikong Wang tapped a few times on the control panel. The entire hovercar rapidly transformed as if being mechanically reassembled. His feet were securely locked in place on the hovercar, turning it into an aerial balance bike, carrying Sikong Wang as he flew through the air.
"This new gear from Nangong is quite interesting!"
Sikong Wang snapped his fingers, confronting the dragon breath pillar released by the Fire Stream Dragon.
Though he had only recently started practicing spiritual power, he was, after all, S-Class. Even if he couldn’t use flashy Skills, blocking these Skills was still barely manageable. Moreover, his task wasn’t to kill the Fire Stream Dragon but to buy time for his mother, Shangguan Qing, by diverting the Fire Stream Dragon’s attention.
As the former S-Class Commander, Shangguan Qing’s combat experience far surpassed Su Ang’s, making her the most suitable candidate to deal with the Fire Stream Dragon.
Sikong Wang provided cover, Shangguan Qing launched sneak attacks, while Su Ang continued to confront the Energy Ball.
"Damn dragon, look over here!" Sikong Wang launched a Spirit Ball at the Fire Stream Dragon’s face. Its damage wasn’t high, but its insult was significant.
Sikong Wang’s harassment greatly annoyed the Fire Stream Dragon, which only wanted to kill this reckless human. Energy waves began flickering from its dragon horns again. Sikong Wang, however, was not afraid; instead, he turned and flew skyward, taunting, "Come on, come on, hit me!"
"Annoying insect!"
The Fire Stream Dragon roared in anger, its fiery ball rolling towards Sikong Wang while enveloped in fury. Sikong Wang, on the other hand, remained unperturbed, even flashing a faint, calm smile.
Thus, two points formed a line.
His body suddenly descended, awaiting him behind, another Energy Fireball.
The previous Energy Fireball had been unknowingly controlled by Su Ang and sent skyward, positioned at the Fire Stream Dragon’s upper left. The energy fireball launched by the Fire Stream Dragon, under Sikong Wang’s deliberate guidance, flew swiftly towards the upper left fireball, at which point, upon collision, they would only—
"Boom—!"
The sky fell into a momentary silence, followed by a massive energy surge, engulfing the entire sky in blinding light.
The Divine Cherry Tree emitted a cry of fear, its silent sound waves mildly dazed Su Ang and the others. Below the city wrapped by the Divine Cherry Tree, every Light Brain device blacked out, including the meeting room, unable to receive any live updates.
The hovercar beneath Sikong Wang’s feet also lost power and began to fall. Fortunately, a wind tide caught him, delivering him to Su Ang’s side.
"33 seconds."
Clearing the remaining vibrations left by the Divine Cherry Tree from his mind, Su Ang looked at the Fire Stream Dragon, "When can the others arrive?"
Three people against an S-Class is too strenuous. They need military cover and enough firepower to penetrate the Demon Dragon’s heart Demon Core.
"Xi Ye and Uncle Su should be arriving soon. The army may take a bit longer, but the issue lies with the residents of Cui City," Sikong Wang said, glancing at the Divine Cherry Tree. At this time, the Divine Cherry Tree, sensing life-threatening danger, was withdrawing its roots, seemingly trying to leave this place.
And the residents of Cui City, under its shelter, would undoubtedly face the wrath of the Fire Stream Dragon directly.
"We must lead the Fire Stream Dragon away from the city."
