Chapter 168: Collision, siege and beheading, skilled destruction of corpses and traces (6K chapter)

The raging flames dispersed and disappeared, the high temperature that could melt gold and iron dissipated, and a tall figure slowly walked out of the sea of ​​fire, with a large white cloak of justice swaying behind him, spotless.

The black that covered her body dissipated, revealing a very familiar face of Lu Jiu. She shouted in surprise: "Brother!!!"

She ran over, but was covered by a metal cage that suddenly rose up. She used her armed color domineering to attack with all her might, but was completely unable to shake the thin metal railing.

“Are you the so-called brother? You do look a bit like Lucy, no wonder this girl regards you as her biological brother.” Damian stood up and walked down slowly. The big hole on the roof of the palace was quickly repaired, blocking out the remaining sunlight.

Darkness enveloped Liu Mang, but Damian became more and more dazzling under the brilliant lights, as if he was the king representing light, and Liu Mang was just a rat in the gutter.

The cage dragged Lu Jiu to his side. He reached out and pressed the cage, ignoring Lu Jiu's angry eyes and talked to himself.

"There is no doubt that you are not Lu Jiu's biological brother, nor are you even a descendant of the Portgas family. However, the response from the compass tells me the exact opposite answer: you are a direct descendant of the Portgas family."

"When I used the compass to explore nine years ago, I had already found and eliminated all the bloodlines of the Portgas family, leaving only my newly born niece."

"How did you do it? Why is there a person who doesn't exist in the Portgas family? Who are you?!"

Liu Mang was silent. Facing Damian's question, he couldn't give a true answer.

His identity was arranged by the system, and he was not given any memories. He was only sure that the system modified Lu Jiu's memory, but he didn't know if there were any other operations. Now it seems that either this body is the body of the Portgas family condensed by the system, or the system modified everything that was with Lu Jiu at that time, including the two compasses.

But no matter who he is, his identity in this world will not change.

"I am Arthur, Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, and the brother of Portgas D. Luju. No matter what my bloodline is, Luju is the only sister I have in this life. I will not allow her to be hurt, nor will I allow anyone who hurts her to live!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky fire rose again, and the blazing slashing waves cut through the metal ground and rushed straight towards Damian!

A thick wall rose up, blocking the whistling flames. Damian kept talking and continued to attack Lu Jiu's spirit.

"Hypocrisy! You said you don't allow anyone to hurt Lu Jiu, but that's just selfish possessiveness! You are just a villain who covets the gold treasure house. Otherwise, why would you pretend to be Lu Jiu's biological brother and even change your own bloodline? Even though I didn't have such an intention, you actually did it. You are more cruel than me!"

The flames became more and more violent, and even the half-meter thick metal wall was gradually softened and broken through. The red slash cut through the wall and flew towards Damian, but was crushed by his raised metal hand.

"Haha, are you anxious? Actually, there is no need to be anxious, because you can't take Lu Jiu away no matter what. You may not know that I have placed a bounty of 10 billion Baileys on Lu Jiu through the World Government. She is currently the second most criminal in the ocean after Rocks. No matter who sees her, they will want to bring her to me to exchange for the bounty."

"As a navy, you not only broke into the capital of the member states of the World Government and caused panic, but also broke into the palace and attacked me, the emperor, and even tried to take away the second most wanted criminal in the world. You are so audacious!"

"Arthur, are you going to violate the laws of the World Government? Are you going to break the law and defy the Five Elders? Are you going to, rebel?!!"

Damian questioned Liu Mang righteously, his voice getting louder and louder. Under the light, his face looked sacred and inviolable, but the shadow on the wall behind him was so dark that it seemed to swallow up the world.

Under the illumination of light and shadow, Liu Mang sheathed the black tomb knife, and his aura suddenly dropped, no longer possessing the momentum to swallow the world.

A smile appeared on Damian's lips. How could the powerful navy rival the majesty of the World Government? Even Admiral Kong had to bow before him at this moment!

"It seems that you have made a wise choice. No matter how precious the treasure is, it is not as important as your life and future. You and I are the same kind of people. You and I are both aware of the corruption of the World Government. It cannot provide you with the best conditions. You have good strength. If you are willing, you can come and work under me."

"I no longer need the treasures in the gold treasury. They were meant to be given away. I can promise you one. The construction of a country is not something that can be done overnight. One person cannot do everything. The road to the top cannot be completed by one person. Perhaps, you who have obtained the treasure are qualified to stand by my side."

"You, are you coming?"

Damian put his hands behind his back, straightened his chest and raised his head, the aura of a king emanated from him, and his domineering aura roared, fully proving that what he said was not a lie.

"But I don't want to be a dog." Liu Mang suddenly raised his head and said.

“No, no, no, you misunderstood.” Damian raised his hands as if embracing the world, his arms wide open to show his open-minded spirit. “We are not to be lackeys or minions, but brothers who will build the country together! When Moronia unifies the world, you and I will rule the world together, bringing harmony and beauty to this world, and happiness and well-being to the world’s people!”

"Don't you think this is a great ideal?"

Liu Mang was silent for a moment, as if he understood why such a big country and such a strong man had never been mentioned in the original work.

It seems that I have violated the taboo of the World Government and was eliminated!
He laughed sarcastically and said disdainfully: "Rule the world? Not to mention whether you have the ability to do it. Even if you do, it will only mean that Moronia will become the next world government and your family will become the next Celestial Dragon family. The world will not be changed and the people will not be able to be happy."

"Besides, there is only one spot in the sky, and I have already set my eyes on it!"

After talking nonsense for a long time to accumulate strength, he finally prepared the newly created move. Because this move was similar to that one in performance, he also gave it the name.

The slightly squatting body leaned forward, and the right hand tightly grasped the shaking handle of the knife. There was a faint flash of red in the black scabbard.

The tomb knife was unsheathed, and surging flames shot up into the sky, but were tightly confined within the range of the slash.

The blazing flames illuminated the entire palace, and the high temperature slowly melted the hall until the tomb knife was chopped out.

"Shapeless Ashes of Heaven and Earth!!!"

As the sword was slashed out, the heaven and earth seemed to lose their voice, the colors faded under the high temperature, and the shapes lost their meaning at this moment.

Unimaginably high-temperature flames condensed into a slash that rushed towards Damian. The several walls that rose up one after another were completely unable to stop the slash's advance.

He roared, and his whole body turned into metal. The palace flowed into his body like water, turning him into a huge metal giant.

"Arthur, how dare you! You can't kill me, you can't kill me!!"

"The sky is immortal, everything is destroyed! Die!!!"

The metal giant suddenly slapped out, and golden light flashed all over his body. The concept of solidity and immortality flowed through his body, increasing his strength and hardness to an incredible level.

Fire and palm come into contact, the ashes of heaven and earth collide with the annihilation of all things, high temperature and solidity contend, destruction and protection fight!

The power of the collision blew Lu Jiu away in the first place, protecting her from the subsequent high temperature and metal storm. The palace exploded in an instant and the earth disappeared!

The high temperature and metal torrent instantly vaporized the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters, but the two people who were fighting did not fall under the action of gravity. Instead, they were forcibly fixed in the air by the unparalleled confrontation.

In the end, Liu Mang's advantage of being the first to strike laid the foundation for his victory. The flames that gradually turned into gold were indistinguishable from the metal giant. However, the high temperature of no less than 100,000 degrees eventually disintegrated and dispersed the giant, turning it into ashes bit by bit. The flames also rushed out for nearly ten kilometers, vaporizing everything along the way.

Ashes of heaven and earth, truly worthy of the name!
It is certainly far inferior to the Bankai skill Zanka no Tachi: North: Ashes of Heaven and Earth of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni in the world of Bleach, but it is also already extremely powerful.

Liu Mang fell backwards to the ground, breathing slightly and looking at everything in front of him.

The original palace had completely disappeared, and what remained in its place was a spherical pit hundreds of meters deep. The ground within a radius of several kilometers was broken into pieces, and huge underground rocks were everywhere.

On the side facing Liu Mang, a huge gully nearly ten kilometers long tore through the earth. Its width and depth were no less than 300 meters. It was no exaggeration to call it a canyon. The concave surface was as smooth as a mirror and could almost reflect a person!

Damian, who had transformed into a metal giant, completely disappeared, as if he was decomposed into atoms along with the ashes of heaven and earth.

But Liu Mang sighed, knowing that the attack had failed.

In the observation Haki, Damian's vigorous aura was extremely conspicuous. Compared with before, it was only slightly reduced, which clearly showed that he had not suffered much damage.

After all, it is just an evolved fire attribute. Even if there is attribute restraint, it cannot cause much damage to Damian, a master who has pushed the metal fruit to awakening.

A flash of golden light flickered in the pit, and instantly the metal condensed into a human form. The metallic color dissipated, and Damian appeared again.

"I said, you can't kill me!" He snorted coldly, and a metal pillar rose from the ground and lifted him into the air, face to face with Liu Mang.

There are two ways to cause damage to elemental enemies. One is to use the armed color domineering attack, and the other is to use the restrained attribute attack.

There are two types of restrained attributes. One is the conventional attribute restraint, such as fire restrains metal, and metal restrains wood. The other is the restraint of higher-level abilities over lower-level abilities, such as the Magma Fruit restrains the Flame-Flame Fruit, and the Freeze-Freeze Fruit restrains the Snow-Snow Fruit.

The Nature-type Metal Fruit is already the highest-level fruit of its kind. If there is no higher-level ability to restrain it, then it can only be restrained by the ability of the Fire-type.

However, Liu Mang's flame was not generated by his ability, but evolved from his swordsmanship and domineering aura. After the conversion of ten points of strength, only six or seven points remained. It was not enough to be used as a means to decide the outcome, and could only be used as an auxiliary means to weaken his defense.

Liu Mang felt very sorry. Ashes of Heaven and Earth was a good move, but unfortunately he had no fire ability and was far inferior to his opponent in terms of power output, otherwise he would have killed him with just one move.

After a single move, Liu Mang accurately determined Damian's level of strength and his peak fruit ability!
But Damian is not as good as Andes Merck, with whom he had fought before, because Damian only has the ability of his fruit at its peak, and his other domineering, physical skills, swordsmanship, etc. are very average.

But even so, he is a real top master, and his metal fruit ability is very strong. Andes may have no way to deal with him.

Liu Mang still has a chance. Not only is his overall quality higher than Andes, he can also evolve flames to weaken the defense of the Metal Fruit, which is considered to be a restraint. With one increase and one decrease, the probability of defeating Damian in a day or two is not small. But he doesn't have so much time. Moronia is close to the Red Earth Continent and not far from the Navy Headquarters. In addition, he has researched the technology to safely cross the Calm Belt. Sora and the World Government will definitely arrive soon.

Once he arrives, he will definitely not let Liu Mang kill Damian, and will even stop the two of them from continuing to fight. Then there will be no chance.

He needs to kill her in a short period of time and run back to the G7 branch with Lu Jiu. As long as he is not caught on the spot with solid evidence, Kong will definitely pretend to be ignorant and the matter will slowly pass.

However, in such a short period of time, the top powerhouse couldn’t even kill an opponent at the vice-emperor level, let alone kill a master of the same level. It seems that it’s time to launch a just siege!
Isn't Damian domineering? His will has obviously not been tempered much. Maybe it is equally strong, but the toughness must be insufficient. Coincidentally, Chamo, who has special attack on will, has also arrived. If Liu Mang doesn't enjoy the baptism of wild laughter, his trip would be in vain.

"Can't kill you? Are you kidding! Chamo, laugh wildly at full power, control him! Xierlin, Dahuang, attack with all your might!"

The red wolf responded, opened its mouth wide and bit Damian.

Cha Mo jumped off the wolf's back and opened his mouth to inhale, and his earth-shaking laughter enveloped an area of ​​one kilometer.

When Damian heard the voice, the corner of his mouth twitched and he was about to laugh, but he immediately realized that something was wrong and forced himself to suppress the smile.

His consciousness kept rising and falling in the midst of wild laughter. Damian used his strong will to resist Cha Du's ability and was able to hold on for a short period of time.

But he had never been tested for his will, and right from the start he was subjected to such a violent attack of will. Even though he was extremely strong, he still felt visibly painful.

Liu Mang knew very well that he couldn't let him get used to it, so he called on Xi'erlin and Dahuang to attack him continuously.

Damian used his consciousness to resist the smile and was in a panic for a moment, dodging the attack narrowly.

He soon realized that this was not a solution. His observation Haki and domineering skills were also average, and he could not compare to Liu Mang and the others' quick reactions. Dodging was simply using his own weakness to attack the other party's strength.

So, he stopped dodging, and used the powerful defensive power of the metal fruit to condense a thick metal sphere to protect himself. He then controlled the metal to transform into various weapons to attack Liu Mang and the other two, while he himself concentrated on resisting the attacks of will inside the sphere.

Arthur is very powerful alone, and with the other two and a dog, Damian feels that he is no match for them, so he plans to delay time and wait for the people from the World Government to arrive.

The defensive power of the flowing and condensed metal is amazing. This seemingly simple metal sphere is actually a defensive trick he has painstakingly researched. It can not only block tangible attacks, but even invisible soul attacks, curse attacks, etc. can be blocked by the immortal nature of metal.

But theory is just theory after all. Cha Mo's laughter does not require her to actively control it but contact the enemy. It is enough for the enemy to hear her voice.

But Damian was very unlucky. Sound is produced by vibration, and metal, as a solid, conducts sound better than air!

Cha Mo saw this and thought, isn't this courting death? He immediately increased the volume, and the sound waves visibly bombarded the metal shell. The heavy sound waves were amplified by the metal and made Damian inside dizzy, and his will almost collapsed!
Enduring the pain of his brain being torn apart, Damian controlled the spherical shell to transform into a cage with gaps. The vibrations were dispersed to the railings to cancel each other out, and the situation immediately improved a lot.

The defense is not reduced, and the sound amplification effect is not lost. I am such a genius. I came up with a solution in such a short time!

Damian was very proud, but he didn't know that his change was exactly what Liu Mang wanted.

Even Liu Mang found the turtle shell, which had no gaps just now, difficult to handle. Even the evolved flames could not cut it open, and the domineering murderous aura could not penetrate anything.

But now it’s different. With a gap, there is a chance for domineering energy to penetrate. Domineering energy doesn’t care whether you are immortal or indestructible. We are not in the same system. How can the nature of metal prevent the pressure of will?
The blood-red domineering aura reappeared, and the bloody killing domineering aura that combined murderous aura and domineering aura penetrated the gap and hit Damian hard. The will surrounded by blood and coldness hit his will heavily, causing him to lose consciousness for a moment.

It was at this moment that his death was doomed!

Cha Mo's wild laughter was defenseless and reached his heart directly. The laughter was injected into his consciousness, making him laugh. As he laughed, the metal cage lost control and deformed randomly.

"Hahahaha! Uh!!" After laughing twice, Damian came to his senses and immediately suppressed his laughter, controlling the metal to return to its previous state.

But it's too late.

puff!

The black blade pierced through his body from the back and came out from the chest. The flowing armament color domineering aura flowed into the body along the blade and suddenly exploded. Damian, who had no time to transform into an element, had his internal organs shattered instantly!

"Wow!" Damian vomited a mouthful of blood, with fragments of internal organs vaguely visible in it. He grabbed the blade on his chest, tried his best to look back, and asked unwillingly: "How is it possible!"

Liu Mang knew what he was asking. It was obvious that his Observation Haki didn't detect anyone behind him, so why did he suddenly appear behind him? Even now, with the blade in his hand and the enemy in his eyes, there was still nothing behind him according to his Observation Haki.

Liu Mang put away his knife and retreated to prevent Damian from having any tricks to kill both of them. At the same time, he said jokingly: "Let's learn more about the hidden knowledge."

Damian didn't want to understand, nor did he have the chance to understand. He roared in anger, but could only fall to the ground and soon died.

This is the disadvantage of being biased in one subject. Not practicing physical skills will lead to average physical fitness and vitality. If Liu Mang suffered such an injury, he would not be able to hold on and fight for another day!
It's just that his internal organs were shattered. Fulen even managed to hold on for a week until the mechanical organs were installed, but Damian died immediately. It was far from that.

There is a world of difference between a one on one fight and a one on two fight. It is even said that Damian fought one on four and died without complaint. With this lineup, Liu Mang is estimated to be almost able to defeat Rocks. As long as he cannot kill the opponent in seconds, he will inevitably be outnumbered by four.

Each of the besiegers has Kaido's physique. It would be a dream for Rocks to kill them in one second, let alone Damian.

After this battle, half of the city of Moronia was basically destroyed, and the emperor was dead. They had to destroy the body and leave quickly. As long as there was no evidence, the Five Elders would not be able to prove his guilt.

The traces were easily dealt with. The Judgment of Heavenly Fire directly started a fire, erasing all traces and burning Damian's body to ashes.

As for the citizens who saw Da Huang transform into a blood wolf, there was no need to deal with them. The only person in the entire Moronia who was qualified to identify him was its emperor Damian Phoenix, and he was already dead.

Even if everyone else says that he did it, the Navy and the World Government will not pay any attention. The right of say of the top masters is not something these people can imagine. The Five Elder Stars know what to choose.

"Let's go, let's run quickly and don't get blocked by the CP troops and Teacher Kong!" Liu Mang picked up the dusty Lu Jiu, stuffed two golden compasses into his arms, jumped on Da Huang's back and started running.

Dahuang let out a roar, spread his legs and flew into the air. He soon returned to the waters of Moronya and towed the two ships away.

The speed of flying is naturally much faster than the speed of sailing, which is 300 meters per second, close to the speed of sound. Only those on the ship have the strength of major generals or above, otherwise they would not be qualified to take this flight.

Since they were already flying, there was naturally no need to go through the dedicated channel of the World Government. They could directly fly over the Red Earth Continent and enter the New World. When he came here before, Liu Mang had also flown here using the Moon Step, carrying a first-class battleship. It was only a few thousand tons of stuff, and his strength was just enough to do that.

Four hours later, everyone landed on the G7 branch island. There was no disaster encountered during the whole process, which Liu Mang found unbelievable.

At this time, Kong had just arrived at Moni Island, and the World Government's intelligence forces were not much ahead of him.

The two groups of people stared blankly at the fire that stretched from the sky to the earth. Lian Kong even wondered if he had made a mistake.

This scene doesn't look like it was created by Liu Mang at all, it's more like Houston's.

"Search, find Damian Phoenix first, find him alive or dead!" A CP officer ordered his men, and everyone looked at him like an idiot.

"What do you mean by navy, Kong? Don't think you can be so rude to me just because you are an admiral. My rank is the same as yours!"

The officer couldn't stand this and immediately fired into the air.

Kong sneered and said, "Are you blind? Can't you see such a big fire? Why don't you go in and search for one?"

The CP commander was choked with speech. The fire covered an area of ​​several kilometers. Even Kong had to be possessed by domineering aura to get in, let alone him.

He is not like the agents under him. He has basically no strength and is not capable of getting in.

"Put out the fire first!" Kong gave orders to the navy who came with him, no longer paying attention to the CP commander who had a hole in his brain.

The fire was put out smoothly. Without anyone to control the flames, the superheroes could not create much wind and waves. The wind from their punches in the air was enough to extinguish a large area of ​​the flames at once.

Anyway, everything that could be burned had been burned, so he naturally had no scruples about doing it, and ravaged the earth that had already been baptized by flames once again. It was obvious that he was trying to clean up the mess by destroying evidence for a certain disciple.

In fact, there is no need to empty his hands. Liu Mang is an old coin and has cleaned up all the traces long ago. Unless you have time-related abilities, there is no way to prove him wrong.

Kong was also secretly probing before he attacked, trying to see if there was anything he had missed so that he could deliver another punch.

The result was beyond his expectations. Not to mention evidence pointing to Liu Mang, there was no evidence that a battle had taken place here. It was as if a sudden disaster of heavenly fire had destroyed this place.

Kong was amazed. If he didn't know that Liu Mang must have been here, he would never have thought that this was a place that was deliberately destroyed, even though he knew there couldn't be a disaster of sudden fire from the sky.

So skilled, so perfect, how can he be so skilled?

Kong was puzzled and could only sigh that this disciple was an unimaginable genius in every aspect. He was even so good at destroying corpses and traces. It really broadened his horizons.
