The mouthparts of the roach man writhed, emitting a series of eerie, clicking sounds.
Its pair of emotionless compound eyes intensely fixed on the prey, which seed to have excellent flesh but was elusive to catch.
"Swoosh—"
It extended its six legs and scraped itself out of the stone wall, scattering debris everywhere, creating a tinkling noise in the silent hall.
With the barbs on its legs hooked onto the wall, the Roach Man hung there as if its feet were firmly planted on the ground.
"Boom!"
The stone wall exploded, and dark lightning struck again, this ti with even greater speed and spontaneously blasting a circular ring of airwaves that spread out, extinguishing several lighter flas in the hall.
The banquet hall returned to darkness.
Just then, unbeknownst to everyone, two flas of Dark Fla ignited in Xue Jing's pupils, quietly pulsating within.
He slightly shifted his body, managing to precisely dodge the roach man's rapid sprint attack in complete darkness, and as they crossed paths, he counterattacked with a punch towards the roach man mid-air.
"Bang!"
The explosive sound spread, and the Roach Man was punched and sent flying again.
But this ti, it managed to recover in the air, its six legs with barbs grabbing onto the hall's carpet, sliding backward several ters, ripping through the carpet and forcefully stopping itself.
With the Dark Fla burning in his pupils, Xue Jing looked at the roach man and whispered,
"You beast... It's not only you who can move freely in the dark."
Originally, Xue Jing did not plan to step forward.
The Roach Man's strength was one thing; the main issue was the poor battle environnt.
Affected by a suspected EMP phenonon, all electrical devices in the hall were disabled, and with only occasional lighter illumination, the restriction on visibility was too severe.
In such conditions, even if he had the power to fight the Roach Man, he stood no chance against it.
The enemy hidden, exposed; there was no way to fight effectively, rashly advancing was rely presenting oneself as an easy target.
However, as the Roach Man sprinted and pounced around, he subconsciously followed its movents with his gaze.
But under the dim and weak light of a lighter, he could hardly see anything.
At that mont, perhaps because his desire 'to see clearly' was too strong, "Shadow Fla" spontaneously activated and ignited in his eyes.
Suddenly, his vision brightened substantially, seeing in black and white as if it were broad daylight.
This was the real reason he decided to step forward.
"'Shadow Fla' also grants 'Dark Vision'... The interface didn't make it clear; I had to discover it myself," Xue Jing shook his head.
He stepped forward, rushing towards the Roach Man.
The latter also opened its mouthparts, emitting strange hissing sounds, and swung its six legs like blades towards Xue Jing.
Because the light from the lighters was extinguished by the airwaves, all present heard only a loud bang and had no idea what was happening.
Pei Youguang hastily lit his lighter again.
Under the faint illumination, everyone widened their eyes.
The young man who had stepped forward was now locked in combat with that monster!
The six legs, like six sharp blades, continuously struck out, relentless as a sudden stormy downpour.
Yet the young man dodged agilely, evading each strike perfectly, as if navigating through each raindrop on a stormy day, his agility unbelievable.
He even managed to counterattack from ti to ti with punches and kicks, striking the roach man and causing a series of muffled impacts.
"This…"
Pei Tiancheng and several Dojo Disciples watched the battle, utterly speechless.
They had initially wanted to help, but upon seeing this scene, they imdiately abandoned the thought.
The fighting speed and rhythm were so fast they couldn't even see clearly, let alone keep up.
"In the martial arts world, speed is unbeatable; overbearing speed is the most despairing," he said.
"Going forward would only hinder them and make him even more distracted by taking care of them," he added.
"Everyone, now's our chance!"
"Let's move towards the main entrance, slowly and calmly, no rushing or pushing!"
Ye Chenglin quickly spoke.
The crowd snapped to their senses.
"Right, let's hurry. Staying here will only hold him back and distract him!"
"Once we leave, he can fully deal with the monster. After going out, we can also find a phone to call for help!"
...
"Boom!"
"Rip——"
Xue Jing's fist hamred into the face of the Roach Man, sending him flying back several ters. At the sa ti, a bug leg hooked his clothing, tearing it and revealing his pale skin and bulging muscles underneath.
"It's really tough..." Xue Jing shook his numb fist.
The Roach Man, with an exoskeleton covering its body, was extrely hard. Punching it felt like hitting stone.
Even though he had landed several heavy blows, the Roach Man still seed unfazed.
The Roach Man charged at him again.
Xue Jing, now accustod to its attack pattern, instinctively sidestepped to dodge.
At that mont, the Roach Man's four massive thin wings unfolded behind it!
The creature flapped its wings furiously in the air, making a sharp turn while rushing forward, and ramd directly towards Xue Jing!
Xue Jing's eyes widened, his scalp tingled, his body hair stood on end, and a sense of extre crisis enveloped him; the shadow of death lood over his heart.
The world slowed down.
In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Xue Jing's mind like a revolving lantern.
And finally, he focused on a particular image.
A two-winged True Dragon navigating tirelessly through the sea of clouds, its body wreathed in heaven's thunder, scales shimring intensely, radiating layers of light, with golden vertical pupils that commanded everywhere it looked, capable of exhaling Ten Thousand Sparkling Starfires with every breath.
The True Dragon lazily rolled in the clouds and occasionally flicked its tail.
Instantly, the boundless sea of clouds rolled back like tidal waves, revealing clear skies in a blink.
The Roach Man collided with Xue Jing.
The imnse force of the impact spread through Xue Jing's body, threatening to tear him apart.
Yet at that mont, blessed by Fortune Cos to a Prepared Mind, nurous bones throughout his body trembled, emitting a thunderous rumbling sound, gradually enduring and absorbing the trendous force…
This strike, strong enough to shatter stone and bend steel, did not make Xue Jing retreat even half a step!
His whole body tingled with Power, layered upon layered, wrapping all the kinetic energy that entered his bones, converting it for his use. All his strength surged towards his right hand, focusing at one point.
In the dim banquet hall, a sound of a dragon's chant echoed, making everyone instinctively turn their heads towards Xue Jing.
They saw—
A colossal True Dragon, eclipsing the sun and the sky, swinging its massive tail.
"Puff——"
The Roach Man's head burst open, its dark green blood spattering like bullets, splashing even those at a distance.
Xue Jing stared blankly at his fist, still hearing the sound of his bones ringing in his ears.
Hidden Dragon School killing move—Seal Cloud Tail!
