NOVPUBLike a toy being toyed around with, Wei Jun was thrown from one place to another with hits strong enough to shatter his body.
"We--!" Xia Lu moved to help, but Natasha stopped her. "What are you doing?! Let me go!"
Natasha pulled Xia Lu even though she wasn't a cultivator and said assertively, "Stop! You'll only get in his way!"
Perhaps it was the hopelessness of the situation or the immense power of Robert that was making both sides numb, but Xia Lu didn't need much convincing.
Bang!
A spark suddenly gathered everyone's attention. They all looked at the point of contact where Robert and Wei Jun and the previous battle one sided battle, was accompanied by the sparks of Wei Jun's retaliation.
He was counterattacking.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The force emitted from their attacks was enough to drive a sane man mad from the sole reverberations, but if not just that, the collision of mana from Robert and Qi from Wei Jun was also an added factor.
The winner among both the supernatural powers would have been clear because Qi couldn't win against mana, but the result was very surprising because Robert's mana was being pushed back.
'The power of Death.' Robert inwardly thought. Since the beginning, he had never taken Wei Jun lightly. Wei Jun was strong, and it was like he was still holding back, like there was something yet to be shown.
For the sake of that reason, Robert held back as well, but the result was rather unsettling for him because, contrary to the earlier hype, he was now pushing Robert back. Wei Jun was slowly getting used to Robert's fast movements and counterattacking just a moment before his fists would land.
"Enough!" Robert said as he raised his fist, an enchantment was applied to his fist to make it even more deadly, and he brought it down on Wei Jun.
'That's not good.' Wei Jun quickly gathered his Qi to the limit and just let the fist collide with that, while with his left hand, he used the skill again to...
Bam!!!
Thrown away once again like a toy, Wei Jun coughed as his internals took a decent hit. Still, his title managed to bring him back to ninety percent of his health before he came to a stop.
The healing from his title was nowhere near the healing from the green dragon's power, but it was put to good use, so Wei Jun wasn't regretting it.
"Hehe." Wei Jun came to a stop and smirked, emitting a laugh in a mocking tone as he looked at Robert, who had quite a frown on his face.
'Usually, people would guard themselves in that situation.' Robert analyzed. The reason for that was that Wei Jun, instead of protecting himself, had chosen to hit Robert, sacrificing his health for the sake of delivering damage.
That fact prompted Robert to assume that Wei Jun had enough trust in his regenerative and healing abilities due to why he was so confident regarding that.
Still, that didn't change the fact that Robert was stronger.
Ignoring the small prickle from Wei Jun's attack, Robert moved once again, appearing just before Wei Jun, who managed to counter once again, leaving Robert a little annoyed. Dragons, contrary to what one would think, were quite impatience creatures. Only those who had truly lived their lives knew the word patience, while most of them, filled with pride, would rather kill themselves than be beaten by a being of an inferior species.
Although Robert was once a human as well, upon becoming a draconian, determined to leave his humanity; he had become a lot like dragons as well.
Especially the part where his pride was concerned.
But unfortunately...
Or would it be fortunate in this case?
Whatever the case may be, his human instincts weren't gone yet. Although they clashed with the pride of a dragon, they were still strong enough to give him a sense of rationality. The human boy before him was dangerous. For some reason, even when he couldn't control his power, he was very dangerous.
"You!!!"
Robert yelled as he emitted a wave of scorching red mana that pushed Wei Jun back while also burning his skin. However, not even a second before Wei Jun was pushed back did he spun in the air, jumped off the ground, and delivered a spinning kick to Robert.
'What?!' Robert was now baffled. Regardless of how good his mana defense was, there was pure power of heat in that attack, yet Wei Jun had brushed it off just like that, even though he was visibly hurt since the flesh from his chest had been burned significantly.
Kicked straight in the neck, caught off guard, Robert was pushed back quite a few steps. The greatest shock didn't come from the fact that Wei Jun managed to attack him, but from the fact that Wei Jun managed to push him back, albeit only a few steps.
"It looks like..." Wei Jun said as he looked at the slight limp in the draconian's movements, "My allies weren't the only ones beaten."
"You... How dare you...?" Robert said in a low but threatening voice, anger evident in his eyes. Although his human rationality was at work, his anger as the superior being looked down upon by an inferior species was something he couldn't just ignore.
Wei Jun wasn't intimidated in the least. On the contrary, he couldn't have been happier. There was no enemy he had ever faced before that was so easy to provoke.
'I guess that comes with the pride of a dragon.' Wei Jun commented inwardly and once again took off, trying to take the lead, but he had severely misjudged Robert.
Glow...
Robert's mouth began to glow, and for some reason, Wei Jun's instincts screamed wildly. Wei Jun had no idea what was going to happen, but he had never dismissed his instincts before.
Pause...
Pausing in the middle, he quickly moved to the side by discharging Qi from his left hand, moving to the right just in time, but...
"Gaahh!!!"
A scream couldn't help but escape his mouth. A scream filled with pain, obviously. Wei Jun, although successful in dodging, couldn't dodge the attack fully and was burned slightly on the shoulder by the fire that had suddenly erupted from Robert's mouth.
It wasn't just any fire, either. It was the kind of fire he had only seen once before. The fire of Yang.
In other words, it was the fire of one's essence. The fire that burned the very essence of life.
"That's a dragon's breath!" Wei Jun heard Morial's voice from far away, who was being healed by Mark Wilson among the rest of his allies, all of whom were focused on the intense battle.
"You must never get burned by it! It's the fire to erase one's existence!" Morial warned, and Wei Jun wisely heeded that advice. But...
'Something's missing.'
If it was indeed such an overpowered skill, why wasn't it used in the battle more frequently?
Looking at the slightly breathless Robert, Wei Jun's question was answered.
It consumed stamina beyond one's capacity.
Wei Jun smirked and, ignoring the scorching pain in his left shoulder, which wasn't healing for some reason, he jumped at Robert with his right fist coated in an intense amount of Qi.
Robert straightened his stance and countered with a fist of his own, but...
Boom!!!
A shockwave was emitted from the point of contact as Robert was pushed back a few steps once again, followed by a stinging pain in his fist, which he had used to block Wei Jun's attack.
[Will of the roaring dragon]
"Let's go!"
Wei Jun roared as he attacked Robert with a flurry of kicks and fists.
Robert quickly put up his guard to block the incoming attacks, but he had never expected Wei Jun to attack him in such an unexpected way.
A jab that landed on his crossed arms, a cross that targeted the same spot, and uppercut elbow from underneath to break the guard but unsuccessful, a cross and a hook again to make him unstable, a right hook elbow to weaken his guard and a right up elbow to once again break his guard which finally succeeded and Robert couldn't keep his chest and face guarded anymore. A jab in the face, a spear elbow from the side, a knee to the stomach, a jab to disorientate him, and finally...
A jumping knee, straight in the middle of the chest.
Boom!!!
Robert was thrown back more than a few steps this time. From the points of the onlookers, the entire attack lasted three seconds at most, but they could all tell how lethal those attacks were.
And the worst part was that each and every one of those attacks was accompanied by...
[Will of the roaring dragon]
A shockwave that shook Robert's body left and right, leaving him incapacitated to even think, let alone react.
"Haa... Haa..."
Wei Jun panted as he took a few deep breaths. It wasn't like he was doing well on his own.
[Cooldown time on a health pill: 4.7 minutes]
'It's spreading.' Wei Jun endured the pain in his shoulder as he looked at Robert, who was more damaged emotionally than physically.
'Not good.' Wei Jun gulped as he prepared himself for the counterattack of Robert.
