And how were they supposed to believe something like that?
For a moment there, the emperor, the whole court of officials, nobles, and up to a thousand Saint Domains all stared at that figure standing calmly and quietly in the sky, their eyes filled with disbelief.
“I’ve heard something before.”
Meng Lei, who was facing everyone’s gazes that looked as if they were looking at a monster, spoke at this point.
His voice was calm and even, yet it echoed in the sky above the palace and clearly reached every corner of the palace.
“I’ve heard that brave dragon slayers don’t exist in the Dragon God Empire because all those that dared harbor designs on pure-blooded Colossal Dragons have all died.
“Since I’ve killed a Black Dragon today, does that mean that I’ve become the one and only brave dragon slayer in the Dragon God Empire?”
“A brave dragon slayer?”
The corners of everyone’s lips spasmed at his words. They were fuming mad. He was simply too arrogant and conceited.
“That evil creature! That damned evil creature!”
Frederick the 32nd was so infuriated that he was shaking with rage. Even his countenance was all contorted as he commanded, “Kill him! Kill him! I want him dead! I’m going to cut him into a million pieces and torture him to death! I want him to die a terrible death!”
“This...”
The many Saint Domains present hesitated. Meng Lei had taken only an instant to kill Angus, thereby exhibiting fearsome strength capable of instantly killing a high-level Saint Domain. Were they to attack, wouldn’t they just be sending themselves to death’s door in vain?
“President Luke, are you going to just watch as that evil creature behaves so presumptuously?!”
Frederick the 32nd bellowed furiously as he turned to President Luke and the others.
Among everyone present, President Luke was definitely the strongest of them all. Who was supposed to attack, if not him?
“I understand, Your Majesty!”
President Luke nodded slightly. With a flash of his form and an aloof look on his countenance, he came right up to Meng Lei.
“Meng Lei, not only do you possess the Fire Dragon bloodline, but you’re even a member of royalty. Yet you behave in such a perverse and insane manner, wantonly slaying a pure-blooded Dragon...”
“Alright, alright. You can skip the unnecessary crap. Even my ears are becoming callused from all superfluous rubbish.”
Meng Lei waved dismissively and interrupted President Luke, who was filled with righteous indignation. “We’ll let our skills speak for themselves.”
“How presumptuous!”
President Luke looked livid. Then, a magic staff abruptly manifested in his hand.
Buzz!
Right away, Wind Elements within a few kilometers of where they were swiftly gathered and formed a 10-meters-long cyan wind blade.
“Go, Dimensional Blade!”
With an icy snort from President Luke, the cyan wind blade sliced through the air and shot toward Meng Lei at a lightning-quick speed. It moved incredibly swiftly and was hardly visible to the naked eye!
“As expected of a Saint Domain Great Magician at their pinnacle!”
At the sight of the Dimensional Blade shooting rapidly toward him, a look of approval appeared on Meng Lei’s face. Then, he stretched out his right arm and grabbed at it in the most casual of motions.
“What’s he doing???”
“Is he taking the Dimensional Blade head-on?!”
“What a lunatic!”
“He’s a total lunatic!”

“What a lunatic!”
“He’s a total lunatic!”
“Who would dare do that unless they’re a lunatic?”
Everyone in the square was shocked by Meng Lei’s crazy action.
Dimensional Blade was hailed as the strongest wind-elemental single-target offensive first-class spell. It was also considered one of the best among the many single-target offensive first-class spells out there in terms of offensive power.
This was especially true when it was President Luke, a Saint Domain at pinnacle-level, casting it—its might was absolutely incredible!
Yet Meng Lei actually intended to take it head-on with bare hands!
What was he, if not a lunatic?
“You’re going too far!”
President Luke let out an icy snort, a hint of great displeasure flashing across his features.
He was the Dragon God Academy president and a pinnacle-level Wind-Elemental Saint Domain Great Magician, yet Meng Lei was looking down on him so much!
What a great insult to him this was!
What happened next, however, completely overturned everything that President Luke knew.
Meng Lei easily caught the highly compressed and incomparably sharp Dimensional Blade capable of cutting apart everything in the world when it reached right in front of him with a casual grabbing motion.
The Dimensional Blade, which was hailed as the strongest wind-elemental single-target offensive first-class spell, simply couldn’t make even a nick on Meng Lei’s fair, tender, smooth, exquisite, slender, and delicate hand.
“Break!”
Meng Lei’s hand closed around it forcefully with a soft shout.
Crack!
The incomparably compressed Dimensional Blade instantly broke into pieces and turned into innumerable cyan wind elements, upon which they returned to the universe as if they’d never once appeared.
“Noooo!”
“That’s impossible!!”
“O’ Dragon God above!”
How can this possibly be true?!
“Catching and breaking the Dimensional Blade with his bare hand... Is he even human?!”
President Luke was dumbfounded, and so were the other 1,000-odd Saint Domains and Frederick the 32nd.
Astounded to the extreme, no-one could believe their eyes!
“As they say, it doesn’t fulfill propriety if one doesn’t return as good as they receive! Have a taste of my Dimensional Blade, too!”
Meng Lei formed a sword with his fingers and lightly drew a line across the air.
Slash!
The air instantly ripped apart. A black fissure slightly over one-meter-long quietly appeared, and then, as light as a feather, it started to extend toward President Luke!
“R-ripping apart the air...”
President Luke looked as though he’d just seen a ghost. He shuddered all over, and even his voice was trembling a little.
Then,
