X-Dragon Era

Meanwhile, Ke Zhan was not to be outdone; under his command, the frog-dragon swiftly backed away as its body surface rapidly expanded to reveal numerous pitch-black holes, each the size of a bowl. Smoke billowed from these holes, which resembled the erupting vents of living volcanoes.

Upon closer inspection of the frog-dragon's back, which was turned towards the sky, three rows of six smoky cavities could be seen. These cavities weren't present originally but had quickly opened since the start of the match, much like eighteen enlarged pores...

Anyone, even a fool, might guess at this sight that this fellow was surely gearing up for some powerful move, and no one would give him enough time to do so... Thus, the two opponents on the opposite side rushed over, trying to interrupt Ke Zhan's power accumulation.

In the face of the two opponents charging madly at him, Ka Men finally made his move. With a wave of his right hand, countless black and white feathers streamed together into a flood, covering the sky and shooting towards the opposition.

The Winged King, Ka Men, indeed possessed great strength. The Feather Arrows he shot, mingling black and white, once they hit the target, the forces of light and darkness would instantly blend together and then explode with devastating force, producing damage far exceeding his own strength. Although he only had the power of the Crystal rank, he could unleash destruction close to that of the Amethyst rank.

If brute strength were all there was to it, it might not have been so remarkable, but the problem was the sheer number of these Feather Arrows and their density. With a barrage sweeping across, they left no room for the opponents to dodge.

With the flurry of Feather Arrows from Ka Men holding off the opponents, Ke Zhan gathered energy at full speed. Once the accumulation was complete, the frog-dragon could launch an attack that covered the entire field in a very short time, like a Katyusha Rocket Launcher, employing the overwhelming destructive power of the Fire Series. Even if the enemy's strength far exceeded their own, they were bound to suffer severe damage! Everything seemed to be moving towards victory...

"Humph!" Just as Ke Zhan and his team thought they had the victory in the bag, a cold snort suddenly resonated from the side of the arena, emanating from the individual who was entangled by Speedy Slash.

With unmatched speed, Speedy Slash successfully engaged and distracted his opponent by constantly revolving and attacking, leaving the adversary no capacity to attend to other matters. This was Speedy Slash's mission.

In fact, the strategy of Ke Zhan's trio was rather straightforward: first, Speedy Slash would engage one opponent, then Ke Zhan would accumulate energy, while Ka Men would temporarily hold off the attacks of the two remaining opponents. Once Ke Zhan completed his energy accumulation, the scales of victory would tip in an instant!

At the start, the opponent did not realize anything was amiss with Speedy Slash's entanglement. However, soon... when Ke Zhan's group's strategic intent was fully discerned, the battle officially kicked off.

Following the cold snort, in response to Speedy Slash's rapid circling, the Giant Dragon reared its head and gave a fierce roar. In the next moment... amid a thunderous roar, a blaze of light flashed, like a thunderbolt striking, and a vicious shockwave spread ruthlessly from the Giant Dragon as its center.

Facing such an undefendable assault, Speedy Slash had no way to dodge. Under Speedy Slash's control, the Wind Dragon pulled its limbs in, shielding its chest, and used all its strength to withstand the energy's impact. Though the shock was unleashed by an eight-star Crystal rank master, it wasn't particularly intense since it was done in full defense; it simply left no room to evade but didn't cause great damage to Speedy Slash. Once the wave had passed, Speedy Slash would be able to recover.

Unfortunately, reality is always faster than imagination. While the shockwave was ravaging the Wind Dragon's body, the enemy, under their command, slowly turned the head of the fiery Giant Dragon. Its maw opened and a laser-like beam of fiery red light shot out, piercing through the Wind Dragon's body with unstoppable force in an instant!

After piercing through the Wind Dragon, the event was far from over. The fiery, laser-like beam continued to fly, crossing a thousand meters in the blink of an eye, and accurately hit the frog-dragon's back, effortlessly penetrating through it before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Boom!" In the midst of a violent roaring sound, the red beam of light smashed into the ground, flinging debris everywhere, its magnitude indescribable.

"What! This..." Faced with this scene, Ka Men was completely stunned, unable to believe his eyes. The opponent had only attacked once, but with just a single assault, Speedy Slash and Ke Zhan were instantly taken out of the match. Was it a coincidence? Or was it calculated?

"Clap clap clap..." Around the arena, after a moment of silence, finally... applause started sparsely and then grew to a dense ovation. In the end, the surrounding stands erupted with a tsunami of fervent claps; the spectacle was truly too thrilling.

Coincidence? There can't be so many coincidences in this world. No... this was definitely the result of calculation. From that single strike, the enemy had clearly figured out Speedy Slash's movement pattern and trajectory, accurately predicting Speedy Slash's next direction and exact position, before unleashing an instantaneous energy blast!

An energy blast alone would, at most, only temporarily immobilize Speedy Slash and not be enough to defeat the opponent. However, the enemy had clearly prepared a Dragon Play in advance. While immobilizing Speedy Slash, they sprayed a blast towards him at the first opportunity, taking him out of the match in an instant.
