Chapter 493: Section 278: Close-Range Combat
The Little Thunder God Flying Hamr was smashed to the ground by the Dragon-man youth’s Combat Skill.
But soon, under the Spirit control of Xiong Ju, it took to the air once more.
The Little Thunder God Flying Hamr continued to entangle the Dragon-man youth, constantly circling around him.
The slightest carelessness from the Dragon-man youth ant he could be struck by the Flying Hamr. Each hit not only brought pain from the heavy impact but also carried an electric current that had a paralyzing effect.
Fortunately, the Dragon-man youth possessed the Legendary Bloodline of the King of Fla Dragon, so his Magic Resistance was quite good.
If it had been anyone else, they would have been smashed into a pulp by the Little Thunder God Flying Hamr or paralyzed by the electric shock.
“See that? This is the Little Thunder God Flying Hamr that I created!” boasted the Dwarf leader from the VIP room.
The Dragon-man youth was distracted by the Flying Hamr and could no longer shoot as freely as before.
He had always thought that the Little Thunder God Flying Hamr was a lee weapon and hadn’t expected it to be of this long-range attack type.
To counter the interference of the Flying Hamr, the Dragon-man youth had to turn his Crossbow Arrow to shoot at it.
The Alchemy Arrows were effective, continually shooting down the Little Thunder God Flying Hamr to the ground.
But soon, it flew back up again.
The Dwarf leader of the Saber Gang, in creating this Little Thunder God Flying Hamr, had used a large amount of precious materials, making it very tough.
Even when the Dragon-man youth’s Combat Skill or Alchemy Arrows hit it, it only turned a bit black on the surface, with hardly any damage.
“This flying hamr is of the Silver Level, but unless I can produce a Golden Level attack, it will be difficult to get rid of it,” the Dragon-man youth quickly realized the reality.
He inevitably found himself in trouble.
Originally, Xiong Ju was wearing the Wandering Protective Armor, which blocked the power of the Alchemy Arrows.
Now, the Dragon-man youth had to split his firepower because of the Little Thunder God Flying Hamr.
With the pressure on Xiong Ju significantly reduced, he roared and charged toward the Dragon-man youth.
The water surrounding the Wandering Protective Armor wrapped around Xiong Ju’s soles, and as he moved, the water at his feet burst into blossoms, accelerating his movent.
Xiong Ju’s attack was too obvious, and the Dragon-man youth successfully dodged Xiong Ju’s charge.
Xiong Ju’s Golden Flower Steel Saw missed and smashed into the ground, creating a huge crack with a loud bang.
The saw teeth were spinning crazily, easily cutting through the ground tiles.
When Xiong Ju pulled out the Steel Saw, a large amount of debris also flew around in an instant.
The Dragon-man youth kept retreating, trying to put more distance between himself and Xiong Ju.
But during this process, the Little Thunder God Flying Hamr desperately tangled with him, causing significant interference.
Xiong Ju charged at the Dragon-man youth once more.
The Dragon-man youth couldn’t create distance, and the Little Thunder God Flying Hamr sharply descended, striking the Dragon-man youth’s lower back at a tricky angle.
The Dragon-man youth thus exposed a vulnerability.
Xiong Ju happened to run up to him at that mont.
The Beastman roared excitedly, seizing the opportunity and swinging the Golden Flower Steel Saw with both arms.
This ti the Dragon-man youth couldn’t dodge; he could only manage to raise his arms.
The next mont, the Golden Flower Steel Saw severely chopped onto the Dragon-man youth’s arms.
The Dragon-man youth was knocked flying like a cannonball.
At this point, their position was very close to the elliptical wall of the dueling field.
The Dragon-man youth slamd directly into the wall.
Despite this, his arms remained like a shield in front of his face, firmly protecting his head.
Even though he was smashed into the wall, the Dragon-man youth’s defensive posture never collapsed.
Seeing this, Xiong Ju gritted his teeth.
He had been confident in his powerful strike but, seeing the Dragon-man youth unhard, felt a huge disappointnt.
He felt the Dragon-man youth was like the rugged rocks by the sea, always stubbornly unchanged, while his own attacks were like waves, ineffective no matter how many tis they crashed against the rocks.
The Dragon-man youth quickly disengaged from the wall and then directly discarded his Alchemy Crossbow.
Seeing Xiong Ju once again wielding the Golden Flower Steel Saw and charging at him, the Dragon-man youth didn’t retreat but instead charged directly forward.
The two quickly collided in a fierce close combat.
This ti, the Dragon-man youth chose to engage in close combat, abandoning long-range fighting.
The Little Thunder God Flying Hamr continued circling around the two n, its head spinning, stirring the wind, but unable to attack.
The weapon that the Dwarf leader lent to Xiong Ju was easy to operate using just spirit control.
But there wasn’t enough ti.
Xiong Ju had only one night to get used to it.
As the two engaged in close combat, constantly entangled and switching positions, Xiong Ju couldn’t accurately control the hamr for combat.
“I guessed right!”
“The intelligence didn’t ntion this weapon of Xiong Ju.”
“This proves that this flying hamr, like his Wandering Protective Armor, were lent to him by others,” thought the Dragon-man youth.
His own close combat ability wasn’t inferior to Xiong Ju’s; previously, using the Alchemy Crossbow for long-range shots, he drained more of Xiong Ju’s energy, which was more advantageous for the Dragon-man youth.
As the combat situation constantly changed, after Xiong Ju continuously used the Wandering Protective Armor and Little Thunder God Flying Hamr, the Dragon-man youth’s previous tactical choice beca inappropriate.
In this situation, choosing close combat was more advantageous for him.
A strategic choice temporarily rendered the Little Thunder God Flying Hamr useless.
From this, it can be seen that the power of wisdom is everywhere.
Combat Skill—Blast Fist!
The Dragon-man youth’s Blast Fist struck Xiong Ju.
Wandering Protective Armor played its defensive role, as sprays of water burst open in response, neutralizing the power of the Blast Fist.
Then, in the next mont, the holes were quickly repaired.
Combat Skill—Sweeping Thousands of Armies.
Xiong Ju swung the Golden Flower Steel Saw.
The huge steel saw traced a long golden shadow in the mid-air, its presence commanding.
The Dragon-man youth didn’t dodge or evade, his dragon feet gripping the ground firmly, taking the hit head-on.
The Golden Flower Steel Saw struck the Dragon-man youth’s golden silk chain armor.
It set off a sky full of golden sparks, which similarly left the Dragon-man youth unhard.
The battle entered a deadlock, with both sides fully contesting in terms of fighting energy, physical ability, martial power, and equipnt!
Amidst the intense consumption, Xiong Ju suddenly opened his mouth wide, casting a magic-like skill—Bear Roar!
A blast echoed.
Since they were too close, the Dragon-man youth was imdiately affected.
His mind felt groggy and foggy, and in that instant, he lost the ability to move.
Xiong Ju lifted his leg and delivered a harsh kick to the chest of the Dragon-man youth, knocking him to the ground.
Xiong Ju seized the montum, his body rising as he lifted both arms, raising the Golden Flower Steel Saw high.
Combat Skill—Great Splitting Mountain!
The steel saw was fiercely relentless as it smashed into the waist of the Dragon-man youth.
The saw teeth crazily whirred at that mont, aiming to cut the Dragon-man youth in half.
Huge sparks scattered, quickly forming bunches of golden blooms dancing across the sky.
In this bright and spectacular scene, brutality and murderous intent were hidden.
Nurous people exclaid simultaneously.
So were even anxious enough to stand up.
Among them was Chi Lai.
Although Chi Lai had only recently joined the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps, he felt a strong sense of identity with the Dragon-man youth.
The main reason was that they both shared the sa faith.
On the other hand, Lan Zao remained seated calmly in his place.
Lan Zao had a strong admiration for the Dragon-man youth. Knowing much about the internal details of the Dragon-man youth’s abilities, he was more confident about him than others.
In fact, nshi, the Dwarf, also stood up.
But being too short, his standing up wasn’t very noticeable.
Noticing that mbers of the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps might intervene, the dueling field staff imdiately beca alert, watching them with a wary eye.
Heroic duels do not allow outsiders to intervene, though remarks are allowed.
If an outsider intervenes, it desecrates this ancient tradition. People will band together to attack.
Even the Saber Gang has never intended to break this rule.
Not in the slightest!
If any of them were to act and disrupt any heroic duel, then the reputation of the Saber Gang would plumt trendously. The entire group would face the disdain of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, and they would no longer have room to survive.
But the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps were outsiders; they weren’t concerned with these considerations.
“Get ready. If it really cos down to it, we’ll step in to rescue the squad leader!” whispered Chi Lai.
nshi nodded fiercely, his face stern: “When the ti cos, I’ll cover our retreat. You guys go first.”
Lan Zao looked at the two Silver Level fighters with surprise, feeling a surge of affection towards them.
Lan Zao was very aware: whether it was Chi Lai, who would intervene in the duel, or nshi, who would cover their retreat, both would face great risk to their lives.
Even so, they still planned to rescue the Dragon-man youth.
“Don’t worry,” Lan Zao quickly reassured them. “Our leader is not so easily defeated; he hasn’t even used his full strength yet.”
Sure enough, in the next mont, the Dragon-man youth regained his senses.
Combat Skill—Blast Fist.
Bang.
After the explosion, the Dragon-man youth knocked the Golden Flower Steel Saw at his abdon off course.
And he took the chance to break free.
Xiong Ju growled lowly, gripping the steel saw, and pursued relentlessly.
While retreating, the Dragon-man youth checked his status.
The damage to his golden silk chain armor at his abdon was quite severe.
If he delayed a few more seconds, a cut would likely be opened up.
Truthfully speaking, the Golden Flower Steel Saw was not a regular weapon, and it countered most armors. During the rotation of its teeth, it could saw through many hard armors.
Given the chance, the golden silk chain armor would eventually be sawed through by Xiong Ju.
Xiong Ju swung the steel saw in his hand, the moves grand and sweeping.
Every ti he slashed at the Dragon-man youth, it stirred up a big bunch of splendid golden blooms.
However, when these golden blooms struck the Dragon-man youth, their damage effect had greatly diminished.
Because as the fight progressed to this point, the comprehensive enhancent provided by the Dragon-man youth’s Big Arena Badge increased steadily to an evident level.
Seeing the Dragon-man youth successfully break free and reengage in battle with Xiong Ju, cheers erupted from the crowd all around.
The spectators loved a good show.
They all wanted to witness a more thrilling, more enduring fierce battle.
After watching for a while and seeing the Dragon-man youth sustained few injuries, Chi Lai and nshi both breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down.
