A bright flash of light appeared on the scene.
By the time Jia Yan reacted, the bright flash of light had descended at an unavoidable speed and struck his fleeing body!
The signature move of the horse-like monster, and also the one it truly used to kill opponents—Lightning Power!
Just as many Earth creatures possess electric energy, life forms in the universe also possess this wondrous power, some even more terrifying than those on Earth.
Jia Yan was no stranger to this kind of power, yet the speed and piercing force of the horse-like monster’s electric energy still caught him off guard!
High voltage fell upon Jia Yan’s body in an instant, and at that moment, he felt an indescribable, immense pressure surge within him.
"Not good!" Jia Yan thought, alarmed.
His exoskeleton was electrically insulated, but clearly, the opponent’s power was not so simple. At that moment, Jia Yan felt an electric force that definitely exceeded one million volts!
"You’re dead meat!" The horse-like monster, watching Jia Yan’s silhouette plummet from the sky, revealed a faint smile. However, the Mantis Referee’s gaze caused some irritation.
Injury and death were prohibited in the competition. His attack would definitely leave Jia Yan dead or injured, and the Mantis Referee hadn’t been able to intervene in time, which would be his dereliction of duty. So now, looking at the horse-like monster, the referee’s gaze turned hostile.
But the horse-like monster was not afraid; after all, he was a member of the Zeji Team. In his power group, there were also Strong Ones of the same level. Should he offend the referee, he could simply apologize. The referee surely wouldn’t start a conflict with the Zeji Team over this.
"Sigh." The referee looked at the falling Jia Yan and sighed deeply.
He certainly wouldn’t start a fight with the Zeji Team over Jia Yan, who wasn’t worth the trouble.
It was a pity that this Strong One from the Early Stars, who seemed so formidable, was about to die .
Even he didn’t believe Jia Yan could survive, because even beings of their level needed to wrap themselves in True Energy to barely mitigate the Lightning Power of this horse-like powerhouse.
"Hmm?" Just as he was about to declare Jia Yan’s defeat, he looked towards the ground where Jia Yan fell with a touch of emotion!
The towering figure of Big Mosquito slowly rose from the ground.
"How is this possible?" The Mantis Referee was astonished. As an Early Stars without the comprehension of True Energy, how could Jia Yan possibly resist the horse-like monster’s Lightning Power?
Was this even an Early Stars anymore?!
"You..." The horse-like monster too was utterly shocked, but perhaps thinking of something, his expression turned to one of realization.
"So you possess the ability to resist electric energy? It seems the environment you grew up in has many creatures similar to me, right? But I’m not just about electric energy..."
The horse-like monster spoke lightly, as if the fact that Big Mosquito could resist electric energy didn’t surprise him much.
"Your electric energy is indeed impressive," said Jia Yan as he stood up. His Compound Eyes glinted with an unusual light.
Those familiar with him knew that this was when Big Mosquito got angry!
Jia Yan felt extremely uncomfortable throughout his body. Although it didn’t show on the surface, he knew that inside his body, bluish colors were leaking out fiercely—this single strike of electric energy had drawn out his Bluish Defense!
How could Big Mosquito not be enraged?
If my electric energy were that impressive, that one strike would have electrocuted you to death," said the horse-like monster calmly.
The intensity in Jia Yan’s Compound Eyes grew stronger.
Did the opponent actually want to kill him in this grand competition?
This was no longer about the competition; this was a battle! Jia Yan was instantly reminded of a familiar feeling.
The feeling was not strange to him at all. Fighting here battle after battle, Jia Yan had almost forgotten the true feeling of combat. But when the horse-like monster made a ruthless move, his anger and sense of danger surged, and he suddenly realized that his sense of crisis had reduced too much. Now, he snapped back to reality and immediately had a genuine fighting intent towards the horse-like monster!
Certainly, the opponent also saw Big Mosquito’s fighting spirit. Actually, it would be abnormal not to have such a spirit. If anyone faced a being that wanted to kill them in a competition, they too would be roused to fight.
"Come on, little guy," whispered the horse-like monster.
A dark gleam flashed in Jia Yan’s Compound Eyes, and in the next moment, his body turned into a blur, violently charging towards the opponent.
For someone who wanted to kill him, Jia Yan naturally fought back.
However, he still didn’t unleash his strongest energy because he knew this was still just a competition arena, and even if he won, death would not occur here. Jia Yan wasn’t seeking to kill his opponent in this arena.
"Since I can’t kill you, then defeating you will suffice," thought Jia Yan, and then he launched his first attack.
The horse-like monster saw a barrage of attacks pounding towards him. Jia Yan was already fast, and the speed of his foreleg swings was even more frightening. A series of attacks slashed towards his opponent, forcing the monster to defend passively in alarm.
"This Early Stars creature is so strong!" At that moment, the horse-like monster was completely taken aback and felt deeply concerned. He had wanted to humiliate Jia Yan for dishonoring the Zeji Team and intended to use his advantage of Lightning Power, which was so fast even the Mantis Referee couldn’t respond, to strike Jia Yan dead on the spot, serving as a warning to others.
