“How can that be?!”
The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King retreated, his eyes full of shock. His ambush just now had reached in just a split second; where had that fellow found the time to cast a protective spell?
Was it an instant release?
“Well done! Well done, indeed!”
With a wave, Meng Lei withdrew the Earth Guardian’s Saintly Armor. He glared furiously at the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King, his wrath almost driving him mad. When the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King had ambushed him just now, he had firmly and resolutely cast Earth Guardian’s Saintly Armor.
This spell’s defense power was astonishingly high, but it’d cost him a whole 800,000 Magic Power Points!
800,000!
A whole 800,000!
That was a freaking 8,000,000 gold coins!
,000,000 gold coins... All gone, just like that!
Meng Lei’s heart ached so badly from the loss that his expression had pretty much become altered beyond recognition. “I’m going to use your inconsequential life to make up for this empty space freed up after you made me suffer a loss of 8,000,000 gold coins for nothing!”
Boom!
He had only just spoken when a crackling sound rang out. A lightning bolt as thick as a water barrel hurtled down from the heavens and viciously struck the Double-Legged Flying Dragon. His plumes frizzed up explosively at once, turning him into a “Double-Legged Hedgehog”!
Violent electric currents flowed about him freely and produced crackling sounds of explosions. The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King was also pretty tough and hardy. Not only did he not suffer any injuries, but he also became even angrier.
“Die!”
He flapped his wings, which produced a tornado that reached into the skies, and charged toward Meng Lei again. However, yet another lightning bolt struck him right in the head.
Crackle!
“Damn!”
The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King’s eyes were blood red. He let out roar after roar, but the only thing that responded to him was still a lightning bolt as thick as a water barrel.
Crackle!
“That bastard!”
Crackle!
“You’re driving me up the wall...!”
Crackle!
Like the rivers that flowed endlessly, yet also like the Yellow River beyond one’s control in a flood, lightning bolts as thick as water barrels came one after the other. They came crashing down madly and endlessly.
No matter how strong the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King’s body was, he wasn’t going to be able to withstand these many hits. Gradually, his flesh began to split into bloody wounds from the lightning bolts, and he became charred black all over. Which part of him still retained even a little of his mighty momentum from just now?
“This...”
The mouths of all the soldiers on top of the city walls fell agape, and all of them turned into stone. Never would anyone have expected something like that to happen.
They had initially thought that even if Meng Lei survived the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King’s attack, he would also suffer grave injuries.
They had also thought that the odds were definitely not in his favor, but it was the complete opposite now instead.
Not only was Meng Lei completely alright, but he was instead beating the Flying Dragon King into a pulp!
Had he really only broken through to the Great Ninth-Grade Magician level just a while ago?
He was already that ferocious when he had just broken through?
“Thunder-elemental! He’s actually even a thunder-elemental Great Magician!”
Marquis Gould held a completely distrustful attitude toward his life now. It was already flabbergasting enough when Meng Lei had exhibited his double earth-elemental and fire-elemental magic talent just now.
Who would have thought that he actually had thunder-elemental magic talent, too?!
Earth, fire, and thunder! Three types of elements!
A triple-elemental Great Ninth-Grade Magician!
“Surely even the Dragon God’s illegitimate child wouldn’t be as much of a mutant as him, right?”
Chapter 97: Severing A Wing, Earning Another 30 Million Gold Coins
Pin-drop silence reigned atop the city walls.
The Flying Dragon Troops were as quiet as mice.
Everyone watched helplessly as Meng Lei beat the living daylights out of the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King, finding the fact impossible to accept.
That was the great, mighty Flying Dragon King, a noble Duke of the kingdom, and a strong, powerful ninth-grade expert... When had he ever had the living daylights beaten out of him like that?
Shock!
Confusion!
Disbelief!
Yet, no matter what, it couldn’t change the fact that the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King was being beaten into a pulp. Lightning bolts as thick as water barrels continued to crash down upon him, the interval between each lightning bolt never going past a second. The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King didn’t even have time to catch his breath. Who was going to be beaten into a pulp, if not him?
“That guy sure is unlucky!”
Ol’ Amos felt rather sympathetic toward the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King now. If he’d been facing a typical Great Ninth-Grade Magician, he definitely wouldn’t have been in such a sorry state.
Unfortunately, the one he’d run into was Meng Lei—a monster that could do insta-release ninth-grade spells.
How was he going to win?
Even if Meng Lei didn’t instantly release eighth-grade or ninth-grade spells, just that Seventh-Grade Spell, Thunder Light alone was already enough to beat him up to the point where he had no means of retaliation.
Win?
The concept didn’t even exist!
“Meng Lei!” Ol’ Amos shook his head lightly. “Killing him brings you no boons. Instead, it’ll even cause you a whole lot of unnecessary trouble. Just let him off.”
Meng Lei considered for a brief moment and then nodded slowly.
Indeed, that was true. The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King was one of Fire Dragon Kingdom’s Dukes, after all. It wasn’t difficult to kill him, but the series of consequences that would bring was something that the current him couldn’t bear.
It went back to the same old thing—before one
