Chapter 118: Annihilation
“Attention to Formation Group Seven. Attention to Formation Group Seven. A Flying Fierce Beast has been detected. It is expected to appear over the city in two minutes.”
When Zhou Liming received the call from Lian Ruixue, he and Huang Dazhuang were sitting on the roof of a residential building about ten stories high. Behind them were two BMW motorcycles parked safely. Their formation group was indeed the Seventh Group. After receiving Lian Ruixue’s warning, the two exchanged a glance and did not take it seriously.
“That was really crazy just now.” Zhou Liming was still young and couldn’t help feeling excited. He said, “Look at them. If they really got close, wouldn’t they strip us down to our underwear? How about it, Brother Huang? You were scared too, huh? Haha!”
Huang Dazhuang let out a simple, honest chuckle, acknowledging what Zhou Liming had said.
Zhou Liming became interested. He made a strange expression, stared at Huang Dazhuang, and suddenly asked, “Brother Huang, haven’t you gotten married yet?”
Huang Dazhuang still smiled innocently, nodded, and said, “I am not married. Mainly because I have no time, and no one wants me. You can see what I look like. It’s hard to find a woman in the modern world.” He thought of a woman he had once had feelings for, but given his appearance, how could he compete with other rivals? In the end, he had just watched her get married and have children.
Seeing the sadness on Huang Dazhuang’s face, Zhou Liming chuckled secretly. Probably not many people in the X Squadron could see such expressions on him.
Zhou Liming patted Huang Dazhuang on the shoulder and said, “Brother Huang, in the past, people relied on their looks to eat. But now it’s different; you rely on strength. With your current conditions, let alone becoming a Colonel, just being part of the X Squadron makes you a target for many people.” He pointed toward the street where they had just surrounded themselves and chuckled, “Besides, there are countless female fans who want to sleep with you. With so many options, what kind of woman couldn’t you get?”
Huang Dazhuang rarely blushed. Decisive in battle, he really had no experience in this area. He stammered, “Where can such good things happen?”
Zhou Liming burst into laughter and said, “Why not? Be proactive and bring a sister-in-law back for us. If you don’t dare to ask, pick one, and we will handle it for you. You are already in your thirties. It’s time to start a family.” He thought of something, took out a not-so-refined diamond necklace from his pocket, and handed it to Huang Dazhuang, saying, “This is a must-have weapon against women. Take it.”
Huang Dazhuang certainly did not want it. He shook his head and made excuses to refuse.
Zhou Liming threw it at Huang Dazhuang and laughed, “Be a man. Stop being so nagging and weak like a woman.” He twitched his ears and said, “We have to start working again. I wonder what kind of Fierce Beast it is. Can’t they let us have a break for once? It’s these damn things every day.”
In the sky, two Fighter Jets could be seen cowering in fear while being attacked by the Flying Dragon Beast.
“Damn it, are those two Fighter Jet pilots eating shit? They can’t even handle one Flying Dragon Beast?” Realizing something, Zhou Liming started cursing loudly again, “You two idiots. You should face a military court. Why didn’t you run in any other direction but towards the city? Are you trying to lead the Fierce Beast into the city?”
Huang Dazhuang hesitated for a moment but still put the necklace away safely. He smiled innocently and said, “Liming, I can’t handle that flying guy. I’ll leave it to you.”
The Magic Ape Beast’s Fierce Beast Gene was indeed very powerful on land, but it could only operate on land. For a Flying Fierce Beast like this, Huang Dazhuang could only sigh at the sky. Furthermore, this was a Level Five Fierce Beast. In a real fight, Huang Dazhuang was not confident he could take it down. If it were a stronger Level Five Fierce Beast, it might just knock him down instead.
Huang Dazhuang knew some of Zhou Liming’s true strength. He remembered that time on the Indian Peninsula, that earth-shattering strike that purified a space within a kilometer. His own prowess was meaningless in front of that strike, like a moth flying into the fire. In front of him, Huang Dazhuang’s Level Four Fierce Beast Gene was like dregs.
In fact, in the X Squadron, no one could accurately know Zhou Liming’s strength. They only knew that he was a powerfully abnormal existence.
Zhou Liming did not refuse. He took off his shirt and draped it over the motorcycle’s dashboard. He said, “I wonder if missions like this come with extra bonuses? This is a Level Five Fierce Beast. Its gene is very precious.” He thought of something whimsical and said, “Brother Huang, what do you think? If we extract its gene and sell it, would it be worth a lot of money?”
A black line appeared on Huang Dazhuang’s forehead. So this guy had fallen into the trap of money.
As the Fighter Jets left, the Flying Dragon Beast vented its anger on the city. With just one Form Skill attack, an entire street burst into flames. Terrified people screamed and fled in all directions. In front of a Level Five Fierce Beast, ordinary people were like ants; one sweep could kill a large group.
Zhou Liming focused his mind. Wings appeared on his back, unfolded, and gently shook.
Huang Dazhuang saw Zhou Liming’s wings up close for the first time. He looked envious in his eyes and made “tsk tsk” sounds.
Zhou Liming laughed and said, “Brother Huang, it’s useless to regret now. Or you can talk to Dean Ren to see if your Fierce Beast Gene can be changed. If so, you wouldn’t need to envy others and could fly freely in the sky.” He slapped his wings hard. With a “whoosh,” he shot into the sky like an arrow.
The Flying Dragon Beast, plunged into rage, was not satisfied with turning the entire street into a sea of fire. After letting out a dragon’s roar, it shook its wings and crashed violently into a large building. Countless glass shards shattered and fell down with a “clang clang” sound. Unlucky people below were hit by the glass, suffering cuts and scratches.
A little girl, in a panic, was pushed down by someone and fell onto the street.
The Flying Dragon Beast dived from the sky, landing on the street. Its tail swept fiercely, and its immense power smashed brutally into a nearby building, sending debris flying. Steel and concrete in front of it were like tofu, crumbling into ruins one after another.
The helpless little girl stared in terror at the approaching Flying Dragon Beast. She trembled and could not say a word. Even some splinters of cement flew from a distance, landing nearby and rolling forward until they stopped right in front of the little girl.
“Don’t be afraid.”
A voice rang out from behind. The little girl felt herself being picked up. The street below grew smaller and smaller until she was taken to a safe, high-rise building.
Before her stood a young man with his arms crossed over his chest, hovering in the air while flapping his wings. His face was full of smiles. After giving her an encouraging look, he simply folded his wings and plummeted downwards, causing the little girl to let out a loud scream.
As he neared the street, Zhou Liming spread his wings and descended slowly and vertically in front of the Flying Dragon Beast.
“Hey, buddy. This is my turf.” Zhou Liming had his hands behind his back. It was the first time he observed the Flying Dragon Beast so closely. Remember that before, in front of the Flying Dragon Beast, he had been beaten and had to flee in shame. How could he now ignore the Flying Dragon Beast’s presence so easily?
The Flying Dragon Beast also noticed Zhou Liming. Immediately, it let out a dragon’s roar and charged towards Zhou Liming at a fast pace.
Zhou Liming’s wings vibrated. He said, “Our battlefield is in the sky. Here, if you break things, you have no ability to pay for them.” After attracting the Flying Dragon Beast’s attention, he flapped his wings faster and shot up into the high altitude like a cannonball.
The Flying Dragon Beast was looking for a target to vent its anger on. Seeing someone come to mock it, it didn’t care about anything else. It flapped its wings once, and its massive body soared into the sky.
“Look! A person who can fly!”
Finally, some people noticed Zhou Liming flying in the sky and the Flying Dragon Beast chasing closely behind him.
Following this, countless citizens stepped out of the streets and looked up at the man and beast fighting in the sky. Zhou Liming did not fly very high. People below could clearly see his battle with the Flying Dragon Beast with the naked eye. He also hoped that through this battle, he would give the numb people below some confidence to survive.
Zhou Liming did not transform into a Fierce Beast Form because he thought that just using his current form was enough to deal with a Level Five Fierce Beast.
More and more citizens gathered below. Many people who appeared due to the noise were staring at the person fighting with the Flying Dragon Beast in the sky. Since it was in the sky, at least half of the people in the vast City Xiang-A could witness this battle that exceeded their imagination. Similarly, the Fierce Beast Warriors truly entered their line of sight.
A Level Five Flying Dragon Beast, in terms of movement and agility, was far inferior to Zhou Liming. After just a brief engagement, the Flying Dragon Beast became irritable. Under the sound of its roars, it opened its mouth and began to activate its Form Skill again. Similar to magic novels, this Form Skill was indeed like dragon breath—an indestructible dragon breath.
Zhou Liming hovered in the air. He did not dodge at all but stared at the Flying Dragon Beast and said coldly, “Starting to seek death so early?”
Under the gaze of countless people, Zhou Liming extended his right hand. His fingers and palm retracted like a mechanical assembly, becoming a bare arm. That was not all. The muscles on his arm bulged and shifted. Under the intertwining of muscles, it instantly grew two or three times larger, forming an arm shaped like a cannon barrel. There was no light absorption as Huang Dazhuang had imagined, nor did it require gathering massive energy before forming the cannon. The cannon suddenly brightened, and a thick beam of light shot out violently.
The Flying Dragon Beast, which had just sprayed fire, was covered by this thick beam of light. With a mournful howl, it was directly gasified in mid-air by the Death Light.
Everyone who saw this scene stood dumbfounded, as if the entire city was frozen in that instant. They had never thought that a powerful Level Five Fierce Beast could not even withstand one attack and was beaten into gasification, leaving not even dregs. The terrifying attack power made everyone who saw it tremble instantly.
It was really too terrifying…
