Chapter 357: Chapter 257: Kidnapped!
Indeed, Long Yi had nearly figured out the composition characteristics of the sword’s radiance in an instant. However, as a wielder of the Four Dragon Marks, he naturally couldn’t perform the true sword’s radiance. Nevertheless, he could opt for the next best thing. He performed an incomplete version of the sword’s radiance, which wasn’t as sharp as the complete version, but was more than enough to envelop the entire Crystal Greatsword. With this, he was able to face off against Cain!
After landing one hit, Long Yi did not give his opponent room to breathe, and a series of attacks followed. Even a fight has its rhythm, with emphasis on the continuance of techniques. Once one person falls into the rhythm of the other, it’s hard for them to break free.
To Cain’s surprise, he was gradually becoming the one who found it difficult to break free!
The reason was simple – Long Yi had an inexhaustible burst of brute force!
The fighting aura provided by a Dragon Knight provides destructive power and can also provide a burst of force when launching an attack. However, the fluency with which a Dragon Knight wields the Dragon-slaying Sword depends on the Dragon Knight’s own strength. After becoming a Dragon Knight, the power of the contract constantly enhances the Dragon Knight’s power. But compared to Long Yi, it seemed like a joke.
Everyone who had witnessed Long Yi’s strength first hand had seen it as an irrational suppression.
In the blink of an eye, Cain found himself completely overwhelmed by Long Yi! And Long Yi’s combat techniques were identical to Cain’s from before!
This bastard! Does he plan to use my own moves against me?
With a grind of his teeth, Cain blocks another attack, resulting in a sudden explosion of his fighting aura!
"Dragon Roar!"
Boom!
The most pure fighting aura burst forth.
The Dragon Roar is not a combat technique, but a direct explosion of compressed fighting aura that blasts the surrounding air, pushing enemies away to create an opportunity. If possible, Cain really wouldn’t want to use this move, since his Dragon hadn’t yet matured into an adult Dragon. Without the Dragon Power, his loss of fighting aura would be irreversible. At this moment, the two were still fighting, and as an elder, he couldn’t just go and ask others if he could replenish his fighting aura.
However, there was no time to lament, an opportunity was created. Cain immediately charges forward, he must seize this chance to gain the upper hand.
But at the very next moment, Long Yi also roared.
"Dragon Roar!"
Boom!
Just like Cain, Long Yi’s fighting aura exploded, but it came with a burst of hot sparks! The air even filled with the smell of sulfur.
In an instant, the advantage was once again on Long Yi’s side.
"You’re running low on fighting aura, aren’t you? How about a few more rounds?" Long Yi laughed heartily.
The frustration inside Cain was unbearable. Before, when his subordinates were fighting one-on-one, he just felt that Long Yi was somewhat troublesome. But, now that he was the one fighting against Long Yi, he realized that Long Yi was more than just troublesome – he was extraordinarily difficult to deal with!
Especially Long Yi’s fighting aura, it seemed to be bottomless!
Noticing the anxious look in Cain’s eyes, Long Yi looked up at the sky and was suddenly shocked.
"Damn! There’s no time!" Long Yi yelled, his Giant’s talent burst out.
Contempt of the Giant.
Each of Long Yi’s attacks will be based on his own fighting aura, driving away the opponent’s fighting aura.
This is purely a consumption-based talent, using his fighting aura to consume the opponent’s fighting aura. The final outcome will naturally be whoever runs out of fighting aura first loses. This talent wouldn’t be too noticeable in a battle atop dragons since both sides would have nearly infinite fighting aura, so at most it could only provide a slight advantage.
But now, without the dragons’ aid, this talent is simply a killer of Dragon Knights!
Once these great Dragon Knights are separated from their dragons, they simply can’t maintain their own fighting aura for very long!
At this moment, Cain was in a state of shock!
When Long Yi’s Crystal Greatsword crashed onto his Dragon-slaying Sword, his Crystal Greatsword dimmed completely. The radiance on his Dragon-slaying Sword also turned extremely small, forcing him to inject more fighting aura to maintain the radiance. The next moment, Long Yi’s radiant Crystal Greatsword came slashing down again!
This bastard! He’s trying to drain my fighting aura!
After being hit twice, Cain realized that if he continued like this, Long Yi wouldn’t even have to defeat him. He would soon ’kill’ him due to exhaustion of his fighting aura!
"You brat, you brought this on yourself!"
"Dragon Roar!"
Cain did another Dragon Roar, while quickly retreating. He only had about 20% of his fighting aura left.
But, it was enough!
From a distance, Cain stood firm and assumed a stance, his fighting aura rapidly circulating within him!
"Finally, the Vice Captain’s ultimate technique is here!"
The watching Dragon Knights immediately cheered loudly. Until now, Cain and Long Yi’s fight was evenly matched, everyone saw this. Some were worried since Long Yi seemed extraordinarily dominant. But once Cain assumed this stance, everyone felt reassured.
This is a sure win!
Cain felt the remaining fighting aura all over his body, the power boost from his recently advanced Five Dragon Marks filled him with confidence! He wasn’t sure if Long Yi could keep up, but if it seemed like he couldn’t, Cain would go easy on him. After all, he was a genius and it would be unbearable if he got hurt.
But when Cain looked towards Long Yi, he saw that Long Yi had also slowly assumed the same stance as him!
This kid! What is he up to? Is he trying to mimic my ultimate move? Absolutely ridiculous! This skill of mine was honed through countless battles, it’s not all about the stance! The circulation of the fighting aura inside is incredibly complex! If one is not careful, one might end up hurting oneself!
But his technique was already in motion, there was no stopping it. Furthermore, despite Cain’s many thoughts, the real time that had passed was just a moment!
"Hey, look, Long Yi is mimicking Vice Captain Cain’s moves."
"He’s just asking for trouble, thinking he can just learn the movements."
"Heh, wait till he loses, we’ll go over and tease him real good!"
"Don’t worry!"
A few of the watching Dragon Knights murmured.
Whoosh!
Flames surged from Cain’s Dragon-slaying Sword!
Boom!
Long Yi’s crystal Greatsword turned red and then spewed black smoke, and then a broader and more tremendous flame erupted with a loud crash out of it!
So this is the Dragon Power of the Demon Abyss Dragon? It’s indeed formidable! But what does it matter!
Cain took a deep breath and suddenly roared out!
"Blazing Nine Consecutive Cuts!"
He transformed into a flying fireball, rushing directly towards Long Yi. Long Yi was a bit slow to react, but he also roared, "Blazing Nine Consecutive Cuts - Enhanced Version!"
At the same time, Long Yi also became a fireball trailing black smoke, colliding with Cain!
Boom! Bang-bang! Boom-Boom! BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!
Nine explosions in total! Two swords clashed against each other nine times! When the last explosion ended, the flames on both of them completely dissipated, and the Dragon-slaying Swords in their hands shattered at the same time!
"It’s not over yet!"
Cain swung a punch, but Long Yi directly gripped his fist.
"You’ve lost!"
Thud!
A punch landed right on Cain’s belly. This punch came without Fighting Aura, just a pure strike, and Cain, who had lost his Fighting Aura, had no way to block it.
Cain bent over in pain, cursing, "Damn it! Making a show wasn’t enough! You actually freaking punched me!"
"Group Leader!"
"Vice Captain Cain!"
A group of dragon riders immediately wanted to charge forward.
"Nobody move! I have hostages here! More than one!!" Long Yi roared.
Saying this, Long Yi hoisted Cain up and placed him in front of himself. At the same time, everyone remembered that Long Yi also had a cute little female demon hiding somewhere.
"Release Vice Captain Cain, and you’re free to go!" A temporary commander spoke up.
"Don’t joke with me, I’m from a suicide squad, how could I just leave before achieving my goal." Long Yi chuckled.
"Tell us your demands." The temporary commander asked, his brows furrowed.
"It’s simple, either you surrender or lose. Or else, your group leader and stationed military force dies." Long Yi said.
"Hey, you can talk without strangle my neck, I’m almost out of breath." Cain groaned.
"Act like a proper hostage," Long Yi said, loosening his grip slightly.
"That’s impossible! Dragon Riders know only death in battle, no surrender!" The temporary commander roared.
"Well, then it depends on what’s at stake. And don’t forget, I still have two Dragons!" Long Yi swayed Cain in his hand, looked back at the troops still lying on the ground, and laughed.
"Hey, this position is uncomfortable!" One of the soldiers laying on the ground, feeling awkward, weakly spoke up. Half his body was numb, but he had been doing his best to play the role of a corpse, unable to move.
"Shut up!"
A Dragon Rider next to him shouted. Due to the traditional status superiority of Dragon Riders, the soldier could only keep quiet.
Yes, no one knew whether Long Yi had another trick up his sleeve. If the Demon Abyss Dragon suddenly appeared here and spit molten iron, things would get too exciting.
The temporary commander looked at Cain standing in front of Long Yi, and then Cain subtly blinked twice.
"Fine! We surrender!"
The temporary commander conceded dejectedly.
"You know what’s good for you! Now, please wait while I take the spoils of war to receive my reward!"
Saying this, Long Yi somehow produced a bunch of cloth strips, bound Cain, hoisted him onto his shoulder and swaggered away. Cain’s Mount Dragon landed on Cain’s shoulder, angrily watching Long Yi who seemed oblivious.
"And then, is that when you came back?"
Lin Qi looked at Cain, who was sitting there enjoying his roast meat, and asked Long Yi.
"Yup, I came right back." Long Yi confirmed.
"Ha ha, little brother, you’ve got some nice conditions here! Even got roast meat to feed on!" Cain laughed heartily.
"So you just believe that they surrendered?" Lin Qi ignored Cain and continued questioning Long Yi.
"Of course not!" Long Yi chuckled, "Those guys started to gear up as soon as I left. I guess, they’ll be here attacking in less than a minute."
"Brother Long! They’re already here, and from three directions, they’re surrounding us." Wesley suddenly shouted.
"I underestimated them. These Dragons are indeed fast!" Long Yi chuckled darkly.
"So like I said, no one knows who will win this battle." As he spoke, Cain’s dinner knife suddenly flew towards Lin Qi. Lin Qi was startled, but then his face turned grim.
"Mithril dagger, Elven made, enchanted with Fighting Aura penetration. Your commander is dead. Ha, that’ll teach you not to search me!"
Cain said. (To be continued. If you like this novel, please come to qidian.com to vote and support this novel. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
