The massive Thunder Eagle swept towards Lingxiao Peak at astonishing speed!

Inside the cockpit, Xing Ye, Xing Zhan, and Jidu all looked flustered. Just moments ago, they had learned that Old Man had taken Yueying and headed for Lingxiao Peak to confront the hero who had suddenly appeared! “I hope nothing happens to Dad,” Xing Zhan murmured to himself. Xing Ye was equally anxious, wishing he could instantly fly to their destination! Even though they knew that even if the three of them arrived, they wouldn't be of much use! “Don’t worry,” Jidu said. “With the Marshal and Yueying’s help, they definitely won’t lose to that hero.” Jidu continued, “Besides, what great storms hasn't he weathered? He’ll get through this one too.” “We’re truly useless. Every time a crisis hits, we have to rely on Dad to hold the line,” Xing Ye said with frustration. “Mm,” Xing Zhan nodded bitterly. “There’s no helping it, I suppose. After all, the opponent is an ancient hero. The Marshal is the only human capable of guarding a hero,” Jidu comforted. “All we can do now is trust him.” “……” Xing Ye and Xing Zhan could only nod helplessly. If even Dad failed, this world might truly be doomed! We’re almost at Lingxiao Peak; I wish we could help somehow! “Lan Ye! What are the tactical computer’s assessment readings!”

Xing Chen asked secretly in his mind!

“In terms of combat power comparison, our chance of victory is ten percent.” Lan Ye replied. “Only ten percent?” Xing Chen couldn't help but feel dejected. “In terms of speed, power, and combat technique, Zhanlang holds an overwhelming advantage,” Lan Ye stated. “If we could fully unleash Yueying’s combat power and upgrade the Yueying System to Level Three, our win rate would be fifty-two percent.” “Fully unleash Yueying’s combat power.” Xing Chen couldn't help but offer a wry smile. Damn it, isn't that just saying Yueying has to completely break free of my control, just like Zhanlang, to finally utilize Yueying’s speed advantage to the fullest? What difference is that from suicide? /./ One Zhanlang is already enough for me to handle; adding an out-of-control Yueying—who knows what might happen! It seems I need to find another way!

The thoughts in his mind flashed by in an instant! Data is static; people are dynamic. And Yueying and I are two individuals—that is our advantage! Moreover, I possess the Demon Devouring Body! It seems time to unveil this trump card! “Switch to the Mage God System.” “Yes.”

Yueying’s graceful silhouette suddenly emitted a flash of purple, ethereal light. In the blink of an eye, the system switched to the Mage God configuration. Although her appearance hadn't changed significantly, the powerful Dou Qi fluctuation had vanished completely, replaced instead by surging waves of magic that felt like a monumental tide. “Mage God System! Activate. Star King Battle Set, convert to Star King Mage Set. Retract the weapon, deploy the Heaven Queller Sword.”

The massive Heaven Queller Greatsword in Yueying’s hand retracted back into the scabbard on the right side of her back, but she drew the slender Heaven Suppressing Sword from the left side! “Interesting, changing the combat mode.” Zhanlang couldn’t quite decipher Xing Chen’s strategy, but he seemed genuinely intrigued. “How much impact can turning Yueying into a mage actually have?” “You’ll see soon enough,” Xing Chen said, brimming with confidence this time. “Round two, begin.” “A very fine spirit,” Zhanlang observed casually. “Let’s see what tricks you can pull off.” “Attack freely, don’t worry about protecting me.” “Understood.” “Yueying, activate free attack mode.” “Ice Roar.” Almost simultaneously with my command, the Heaven Suppressing Sword in Yueying’s hand flashed out like lightning!

A chilling blast of air, mixed with the surging magic waves resembling crashing tempests, erupted outward, instantly shrouding the entire world in a hazy silver-white. And within this silver haze, a colossal silver disc hurtled towards Zhanlang like a swift bolt of thunder. “Hmph,” Zhanlang snorted coldly, his body swaying slightly as he vanished into thin air.

Boom! Crash! The missed Ice Roar, due to the violent magical explosion, gouged a massive crater into the ground! That power was truly not to be underestimated! It was just that Zhanlang’s speed was far too great; not only did he dodge Yueying’s Ice Roar, but in the blink of an eye—in the space of a breath—he appeared before Xing Chen. His dark Heaven Queller Greatsword flashed down like lightning!

Xing Chen quickly recoiled, bouncing back explosively, dodging away swiftly! Whoosh! Crash! Zhanlang, missing with his sword strike, also blasted a crater where Xing Chen had been standing, but it seemed he had anticipated this. As he carved the hole in the ground, he pursued Xing Chen like a shadow!

Hmph! You think I’m afraid of you! The moment he landed, Xing Chen stomped the ground hard with both feet, launching himself towards Zhanlang like a cannonball, raising his hand for a Three-Strike Combo! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Dragon Shadow Sword materialized instantly, striking towards Zhanlang’s chest, throat, and abdomen like three venomous snakes! “Overestimating yourself!” Zhanlang’s Heaven Queller Greatsword simultaneously flashed three blurred afterimages!

Bang! Bang! Bang! The Three-Strike Combo was easily parried! In terms of speed, power, and combat technique, Xing Chen and Zhanlang were simply not on the same level. Therefore, his tactic was simple: never engage in a grueling exchange; retreat immediately if a strike fails!

Almost immediately after his three strikes were blocked, Xing Chen flew back! “Trying to run?” Zhanlang scoffed coldly. His body moved like electricity, closely pursuing, giving Xing Chen absolutely no space to escape! The dark blade of the Heaven Queller Greatsword instantly pressed against his chest.

Ah! Such speed—not even time to evade! Lightning Bolt Technique! Swish! A dazzling electric light shrieked piercingly through the air, carrying a scorching, paralyzing killing intent, suddenly erupting like a gigantic electric serpent tearing through the void, lightning descending upon the world! Its speed was unbelievably fast; what in this world could be faster than lightning! What could be more fierce than thunder!

Thump! Roar! The terrifying lightning struck almost simultaneously against both Xing Chen and Zhanlang’s Heaven Queller Greatsword! “Clang… Sizzle.” Electrical light scattered, transforming into specks of silver arcs that lifted into the air, making the entire world seem even more illusory.

Zhanlang’s robust frame was thrown backward involuntarily for the first time! Also electrocuted and flung back was another afterimage! That was right—Xing Chen! How is this possible! Zhanlang couldn't believe his eyes! Yueying chose such a precise moment to unleash such a terrifyingly powerful Lightning Bolt Technique. Did she disregard the life of her host? Even with Zhanlang’s formidable Dou Qi cultivation, he was jolted numb by that single Lightning Bolt Technique, nearly falling into shock on the spot!

Yet, Xing Chen, who was struck alongside him, showed no sign of pain; instead, a sneer of mockery played across his lips! Not only was the lethal strike cleverly neutralized by Yueying, but a perfect opportunity had also been created! Xing Chen felt the pressure drastically decrease, his spirit soaring! Now is the time, a rare chance!

Having calculated this all along, Xing Chen let out a wild roar towards the sky. The peculiar Dou Qi within his body surged instantly. Terrifying Dou Qi energy erupted like a spewing volcano, flowing through his arms and pouring into the sword, solidifying into a fiery, dazzling Long Dragon of Flame! A ferocious killing intent erupted suddenly. “Die!”

The Long Dragon of Flame roared out, plunging towards the retreating Zhanlang! This potent Dou Qi energy was enough to tear Zhanlang’s body to shreds! The change of events occurred so suddenly; the horrifying killing intent nearly froze Zhanlang’s reinforced nerves to the breaking point! The shadow of death arrived so unexpectedly!

Zhanlang, pushed into a desperate situation, roared loudly. A cluster of golden light suddenly burst forth from his waist. Powerful Dou Qi energy spread out like an exploding nuclear bomb! On the Heaven Queller Greatsword, a Greatsword of Blazing Fire, hot enough to incinerate everything, condensed. Soul-Breaking Slash!

Following a heaven-shaking roar! That maniacally tyrannical Greatsword of Blazing Fire shot out like lightning, crashing into the charging Sword Qi Dragon! “Boom…” A violent tremor shocked nearly everyone present, as if the heavens were collapsing, the earth was splitting, or the sea was surging and mountains were cracking. Dust lifted, leaves flew, branches snapped, and scattered soil and stones shot out in all directions like waves rising in the void! And within the dispersing dust, two purple afterimages floated far away, resembling kites with broken strings!
