Like a hurricane, like thunder, wind and thunder surged, a force like a tidal wave roared across the sky, swirling backwards, carrying the power of shattering air as it erupted upwards.
The crimson drilling light collided with the golden sea-like fighting qi, causing the air to vibrate violently. The clash sounded like striking metal, sending visible ripples sweeping outwards in all directions like ocean waves.
Under the immense force, the ground beneath Golden Lion Shiji's feet shattered extensively, rapidly spreading in all directions as powerful energy swept through, causing surrounding Beastmen soldiers to retreat.
"Heh, kid, you're still far off!"
Shiji grinned, a menacing smile appearing on his face.
His massive palms, like iron plates, had sharp claws extending from deep within his fingertips. The golden fighting qi rising around him surged violently through his palms, collapsing layers of airflow in an instant, forming a gale, as surrounding air rapidly converged, creating a massive vortex in the sky.
Fighting qi like a vast sea swept across the sky, moving hundreds of meters within its radius, turning into a towering pillar of fighting qi, spiraling upward and forming a sky-reaching tornado!
Meng Bi was in mid-air, caught by the flow of fighting qi, and like a leaf in a storm, he helplessly swept up in the torrent of fighting qi.
"Aerial Step·Continuous Kick!"
Blown tens of meters into the air, Meng Bi kicked the air multiple times consecutively, his body bouncing in mid-air, soon disappearing with a whoosh, breaking through the tornado torrent and abruptly appearing in the high skies beside it with a crimson glow.
"Gale Wave·Sword Rain!"
Still in mid-air, Meng Bi took a deep breath, his feet kicking dozens of times in an instant, creating a series of crimson afterimages.
Each kick sliced through the air, forming consecutive vacuum slashing waves, merging with the fighting qi, turning into a blood-red barrage of swords raining down!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
Crimson gales bloomed in the sky like fireworks, then, like bullets shot from a machine gun, pierced the air with incredible speed and power, crashing down rapidly.
In the continuous rumbling, an area centered around Golden Lion Shiji was bombarded by the crimson slashing waves within a hundred-meter radius. Massive chunks of soil were blasted away, then shredded into fragments mid-air, with stones shooting out like bullets as smoke and dust soared, covering half of the sky.
In such an intense battle, the Beastmen around retreated further and further, watching the scene in awe.
"That boy Meng Bi can actually reach such a level!"
Among those present, the only Elite Dragon Vein Attendant watching the scene showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
As the Dragon Nest Tribe expanded, Austin allocated dozens of slots for Beastman modifications, raising the number of Extraordinary Beastmen in the Dragon Nest Tribe to about a hundred.
Among these hundred Extraordinary Beastmen, strengths varied, and the most elite were the twenty selected from all Extraordinary Beastmen for the Beastman Six Techniques development.
Being capable of undertaking the magic-modified development of the Navy Six Techniques meant their physical capabilities were top-notch within the Dragon Nest Tribe. After completing the Beastman Three Techniques modification, each Dragon Vein Attendant's strength advanced further, thus becoming the elite of the elite, known as Elite Dragon Vein Attendants.
The entire Copper Ore Base was stationed by an elite Dragon Vein Attendant named Pedra as the highest-ranking officer, overseeing the base's security defense.
Even as one of the top twenty experimental group members, Pedra was currently only familiar with using Iron Block and Gale Wave, just getting started with Aerial Step.
And now, this young fellow named Meng Bi not only mastered the Beastman Three Techniques but also integrated them and extended them into other combat techniques?! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
"Remarkable! Moreover, the Beastman Three Techniques could be extended in such a manner with such immense power!"
Seeing Meng Bi achieve such a state after activating his Ancestral Bloodline, Pedra gasped in awe, his admiration for the great His Highness Austin deepening.
However, amidst his amazement, Pedra also felt a vague sense of unease. Judging by the current battle, Meng Bi indeed seemed to have the upper hand, yet Pedra somehow perceived the scales of victory tipping towards the enemy.
Pedra frowned, wondering why he felt like Meng Bi was about to lose.
At this moment, Meng Bi was suspended in mid-air, having kicked out dozens or perhaps hundreds of crimson slashing waves, beads of sweat on his forehead, breathing heavily. The explosive pain within was nearing its limit, leaving him utterly exhausted, at his last breath.
"Huff, huff... did I win?"
Staring intently at the smokey area within a hundred-meter radius below, with the blood-colored flames wrapping around him about to burn out like firewood, the once fiercely burning flame seemed to be reaching its limit, about to extinguish, with his vision blurring and his swaying body about to fall.
By now, Meng Bi had reached his limit; activating the Ancestral Bloodline granted him over tenfold strength, and a body governed by a killing instinct, but at a cost of more than tenfold the consumption and a violent pain like magma flowing through his veins.
"I should have won..."
The previous move, kicking out hundreds or thousands of slashing light waves, was the strongest attack Meng Bi could currently muster, capable of obliterating even a Silver Level Extraordinary to dust under such intense bombardment.
However, just as Meng Bi's tense muscles were about to relax,
With a tremendous roar, the vast smoke was instantly torn apart by a powerful invisible impact, revealing a gigantic crater on the ground within a hundred-meter span. With the terrifying impact, pieces of fractured stones and soil suddenly floated into the air as if losing gravity.
No one present had time to think, not even Meng Bi, before a sharp, piercing whistle instantly shattered the scene before him. A shadow shot out like a cannonball, tearing through the air with a screeching sonic boom, swiftly drawing a long dragon-like trail of air in the sky.
"Hahaha! Kid, that was a pretty good combat technique, but your skill is lacking!"
The air wave streaked across the sky like a sword, the ground upheaving along its path before Meng Bi could react. The golden-furred Shiji, stained with blood, appeared in front of him, crashing down with mountain-crushing force!
