Dragon Transformation in the Apocalypse

Chapter 421 Turning Point Battle (4)

Keltilan and Sitros attacked simultaneously. Both were level 13 Celtan Star powerhouses, and both unleashed their strongest 6th-tier Overlord Fist. Their red aura illuminated the night sky, turning it almost crimson. The two moved with incredible speed, like two red meteors, hurtling towards Li Chenglong.

Facing two level 13 powerhouses who had entered battle stance, Li Chenglong naturally wouldn't be careless. He quickly summoned the upgraded all-powerful form of the Holy Dragon Armor, wielding the Emperor Sword and engaging the two in battle.

In reality, swords don't offer much advantage in actual combat; in fact, they have some disadvantages. Both Keltilan and Sitros used ring-pommel swords, which, although seemingly cumbersome, were incredibly powerful in their hands. Yunlan, fighting some enemies not far from their battlefield, saw Li Chenglong struggling against the two Setan aliens' greatswords with his Dragon Emperor Sword and felt somewhat worried.

Yunlan stabbed an automated hunting robot that was charging towards her with a single shot, then threw the Holy Spirit Spear in her hand toward where Li Chenglong was standing, shouting, "Catch the spear!" Li Chenglong understood immediately, jumped up and caught the Holy Spirit Spear in mid-air, then threw the Emperor Sword to Yunlan in the distance with his left hand.

To be honest, this was the first time Yunlan had used the Emperor Sword, which she obtained after leveling up to level 12 with Li Chenglong. The sword was a meter long, with a magnificent hilt tipped with a small dragon head. The blade, except for the point, was entirely black, with golden patterns of five-clawed dragons churning in clouds on each side. The moment Yunlan grasped the Emperor Sword, she felt a powerful energy flow into her body, prompting her to mutter, "Just how strong is this energy?" Before she could dwell on it, two level 11 Setan aliens charged at her, and she immediately engaged in battle.

Meanwhile, Li Chenglong, who had obtained the Holy Spirit Spear, turned the disadvantage in weaponry into an advantage. Combined with his own strength, he gradually gained the upper hand as the battle progressed. "Dimensional Slash!" Li Chenglong wielded the Holy Spirit Spear and swung it horizontally, sending a streak of azure energy straight towards the two opponents.

Keltilan and Sitros exchanged a glance, then simultaneously swung their ring-pommel swords: "Overlord Slash!" Two crimson sword energies cleaved the earth, hurtling towards the blue-green aura. The two energies collided, instantly unleashing a massive explosion. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Chenglong used spatial manipulation and teleportation to move the slightly weaker Sitros to his side and unleashed a series of powerful blows upon him.

Seeing this, Keltilan shouted, "You're not the only one with the ability to teleport!" As he spoke, his figure vanished from the spot and appeared behind Li Chenglong almost instantly, then slashed at Li Chenglong's waist with his sword.

Li Chenglong gripped the shoulder of the somewhat dazed Sitros and vanished the moment Keltilan swung his sword. The battle was so intense and exciting that both sides gradually ceased their actions, and even the AI-controlled hunting robots stopped moving.

Almost instinctively, both sides formed a large circle, their eyes fixed on the battlefield. Keltilan repeatedly used teleportation, wielding his sword and pressing close to Li Chenglong. Li Chenglong, on the other hand, constantly appeared in various locations, each time landing a heavy blow on the restrained Sitros. It was hard to imagine that a level 13 Celtan Star powerhouse was now like a dead dog, being beaten by Li Chenglong without even a chance to defend himself.

Using teleportation and spatial movement continuously while employing the sixth level of the Overlord Fist has left Keltilan feeling somewhat fatigued. However, his companion is still in the enemy's hands, and his energy is gradually waning. He must catch up with him quickly and rescue Sitross.

However, Li Chenglong felt that he couldn't delay any longer and had to finish the battle quickly. These two level 13 powerhouses were indeed very powerful. Although Sitross looked like he had been badly beaten, he only suffered some superficial injuries and was not seriously injured. As for Keltilan, his energy had suddenly increased to a higher level just now, and it seemed that he was preparing to fight to the death.

Li Chenglong stopped and tossed Sitross toward Keltilan, who was chasing him. Then, the Emperor's Sword, which Yunlan had been holding, transformed into a streak of light and flew into his hand. Li Chenglong whispered, "Dragon Spirit, prepare! We'll settle this with one blow. Dawn is approaching; we need to finish this quickly and then move on to provide support elsewhere!"

At this moment, the dragon spirit in the psionic space quickly swallowed a bunch of crystal-clear grapes, then transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon and flew out from Li Chenglong's body. Upon seeing this, the warriors of the Dawn Army immediately retreated rapidly, and even Yun Lan and Li Xue began to retreat.

Li Chenglong deactivated his Holy Dragon Armor form, unleashing the Holy Dragon Blood to its highest possible level, Level Two. A dazzling golden light emanated from his left eye, and starting from there, tiny cracks appeared on his left cheek, golden energy flowing from these fissures. His right eye, however, turned deep red, emitting an eerie blood-red glow. His iris and pupil transformed into a black star cluster, slowly rotating continuously.

As Li Chenglong had predicted, Sitross wasn't seriously injured. After Li Chenglong released him, his injuries began to heal at a visible rate—a unique advantage inherent to mechanical lifeforms. Furthermore, their training technique, the Overlord Fist, also had healing properties, so he quickly stood up.

Looking at Li Chenglong hovering in the air, Keltilan said seriously, "It seems that this Chinese man is preparing to decide the outcome with one move, and the energy he is accumulating is terrifying. The only way for the two of us to survive is to fight him to the death."

Sitros nodded, then took out a bottle of golden liquid and drank it all in one gulp. Meanwhile, Keltilan also took out a bottle and downed it in one go. After finishing, he said with lingering satisfaction, "It's really good stuff, but unfortunately, there's too little of it."

After they finished speaking, the two of them began to accumulate energy at the same time. The red energy aura was at least several feet high, turning everything around them red.

Li Chenglong was able to kill Arales at level 12 because, firstly, Arales was unaware of Li Chenglong's specific situation and was somewhat careless; secondly, Li Chenglong was at the peak of his energy at the time, and with the energy provided by Yunlan and thousands of other awakened beings and advanced ability users, he was able to use the "Emperor Holy Dragon Yuanqi Slash," which far exceeded the energy that a level 12 awakened being could control.

Today, Li Chenglong has not only gone out to fight, sweeping away the alien fleets in the Bohai and Yellow Seas, but has also used dimensional travel twice. So although he is now level 13, he is not as powerful as he was when he was level 12.

Li Chenglong raised the Emperor's Sword high, the golden dragon above his head churning. He suddenly opened his eyes: "Emperor Holy Dragon Slash!" The golden dragon charged straight down in the direction of his sword strike, rushing towards Keltilan and Sithros, who were still gathering power on the ground.

However, the two had already gathered their strength and shouted in unison, "Overlord's Fierce Slash!" Two incredibly powerful blade beams rushed towards the descending dragon. The two energies clashed continuously in mid-air, emitting dazzling light and a deafening roar. Even from the western position of Dawn City, 300km away, the soaring energy beams could be seen.

At this time, the Dawn Army had gained a significant advantage in the other three directions of Dawn City. After Qin Susu and Zhao Liying realized that there were no particularly powerful enemies on the battlefield, they gave instructions to their subordinates and then led their men to quickly support the western battlefield.

Li Chenglong was still continuously expending energy, his teeth bleeding profusely, and bright red blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and nostrils. He was also panting heavily. On the other side, Keltilan and Sitros were in even worse shape. The ground beneath their feet had caved in due to the energy pressure, and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably, clearly at their limit.

"Slash! Slash! Slash!" Li Chenglong roared, and the golden dragon finally broke through the two red blades, rushing straight at the two. At this moment, Keltilan and Sitros had no power to resist anymore, and could only subconsciously cross their arms in front of their chests, assuming a defensive posture.

Then came a massive explosion, blowing everything around it away. Even the ten energy barriers erected to protect Dawn City were instantly shattered by the powerful shockwave. In the instant of the explosion, Li Chenglong placed the Dragon Emperor Sword in front of his chest, using the remaining energy to form a defensive shield, and was unharmed.

Before Li Chenglong could even begin accumulating energy, Yunlan and Li Xue had all the advanced ability users form an energy shield together. Although several ability users were injured by the energy shock from the explosion, fortunately, none were seriously hurt. Li Chenglong quickly took out some Flame Juice and Ability Royal Jelly, mixed them together, and drank a whole bottle in one gulp. Although he couldn't recover much spiritual energy now, every little bit he could recover was important in the current situation.

Before the smoke from the explosion had even cleared, Li Chenglong, through the Eye of the True Dragon, discovered that the two men were not dead, but still clinging to life. He gripped the Emperor Sword, ready to rush over and kill them, but at that moment, a red light flew down from the sky and appeared between him and the two Setan aliens.
