Starting from the destruction of the Land of Light

This guy...

Could they be here to hunt King Black?

At the very moment Zhang Chen made his judgment.

The woman licking her lips—let's call her a woman for now—moved!

Without any warning!

Her body was like a weightless ghost, or like a spring that had been compressed to its limit and suddenly released, and the hard cement ground beneath her feet made a barely audible cracking sound.

A pale white blur tore through the darkness, moving faster than the limits of visual perception. One moment it was in a shadowy corner a dozen meters away, and the next, that pale face covered with a sticky, dark purple tongue and cracked in an eerie arc, carrying a chilling wind and a sweet, fishy smell, rushed towards us.

A sharp claw covered in fine purple scales, with five sharp, hook-like fingers, silently and ruthlessly clawed at Zhang Chen's throat.

The deadly hunt has begun—

Zhang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted!

A hair's breadth away.

"Hmph!" Zhang Chen snorted coldly. Instead of retreating, he advanced, taking a half step forward with his left foot. His body twisted to the side at an extremely subtle angle, like a roly-poly toy.

With minimal movement, yet with unparalleled precision, the deadly claw grazed his neck, the sharp gust even severing a few strands of his hair.

At the same time, as he spun around to dodge, Zhang Chen's right hand shot out from below like lightning.

With fingers bent like hooks, carrying the power of [Radiance] concentrated at a single point, he fiercely stabbed at the opponent's exposed, scale-covered ribs on the side of their waist, which had been exposed by the attack.

puff!

A dull sound, like piercing through tough leather, rang out!

Zhang Chen's finger precisely struck the target, and the penetrating power granted by [Radiance] instantly erupted.

However, the expected scene of penetrating the scales and shattering the internal tissues did not occur. The touch from the fingertips was more resilient than imagined. The purple scales seemed to have some kind of energy buffer layer, which greatly reduced the penetrating damage of [Radiance].

The woman let out a sharp, piercing scream, like the scraping of metal. Its attack motion instantly changed, and its claws, which had missed their mark, swung back sharply, trying to force Zhang Chen back.

At the same time, the long, dark purple tongue that had been licking the corner of his mouth, like a real poisonous whip, with a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, curled toward Zhang Chen's temple at an even faster speed and a more cunning angle.

Zhang Chen raised his hand again, and the [Radiance] at his waist appeared directly in his hand, transforming into a silver barrier.

boom!

With a single strike, Zhang Chen was sent flying backward, tracing a path through the air before landing steadily on the ground.

"What a troublesome guy..."

After taking two steps back to steady himself, Zhang Chen slowly raised his head.

The high-dimensional predator Bogaru is known for his fierce and ruthless nature, as well as his cunning and treacherous nature. He is also a glutton who enjoys devouring things with extremely powerful energy and has destroyed many cosmic civilizations.

His most famous act was destroying the beautiful planet Arbok. He was then hunted down by Ultraman Hikari, and was eventually defeated by Ultraman Mebius and Hikari, ending his evil life.

Currently, Ultraman Mebius has not appeared on Earth, and Ultraman Hikari is nowhere to be found. It seems that dealing with this guy will not be so easy.

With his gaze sweeping over Bogaru, Zhang Chen now knew who was behind the strange fluctuations that attracted the monster.

Originally, he and Luo Xi simply thought that some aliens had created a device to attract monsters, but the appearance of Bogaru revealed the answer—this guy himself had the power to awaken monsters.

Unexpectedly, before I could find the other person, they found me first.

Just as Zhang Chen was staring at the other person, Bo Jiaru, who had transformed into a woman, was also observing Zhang Chen.

Slowly retracting that disgusting tongue, Bogaru grinned.

"You're not a descendant of the Light Clan, nor do you carry the Reionics' genes. You're not particularly strong, yet you managed to block my attack. Your power must come from the glowing object in your hand, right?"

A luminescent object?

Bogaru cannot see the true appearance of the [Radiance]?

Zhang Chen's gaze shifted to the square box in his hand. At this moment, the [Radiance] was not emitting light, so the other party should have been able to see it clearly.

Could it be that this thing was constantly glowing in the other person's eyes?

After a brief moment of thought, Zhang Chen suppressed his doubts and put the square box back on his waist.

"Huh?" Bogaru narrowed her eyes slightly. "Aren't you going to borrow that power? Without it, you might die..."

Zhang Chen smiled at this.

As long as communication is possible, there is still a possibility of a struggle.

"Forget about testing me. You won't attack me, at least not until you're sure you can kill me without anyone noticing."

"Don't pretend you know me so well. It wouldn't be difficult for me to kill you. King Black alone can't save your life." Bogaru's eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if she was about to make her move at any moment.

But Zhang Chen made no preparations to counterattack; he remained standing in the same spot, maintaining his posture full of openings.

The atmosphere between the two froze for a moment, and even the air seemed to thicken.

After a moment, Zhang Chen broke the silence.

"I told you, you won't lay a hand on me again."

"Your actions this time were probably just an attempt, trying to resolve this unexpected problem without alerting anyone else. Unfortunately, your attempt failed when I blocked your attack."

Bogaru listened quietly, his eerie smile remaining unchanged.

Then Zhang Chen continued speaking.

"I admit, King Black can't stop you, but you don't dare to gamble, you don't dare to gamble that I only have King Black as a monster."

"Even if you have two Black Kings, killing you would only take a little effort..."

"That's true." Zhang Chen interrupted Bogaru and laughed. "But if you take action yourself, your next plan will be completely shelved, and you won't be able to obtain the Ultra Brothers' legacy."

Before he could finish speaking, Bogaru's expression suddenly froze.

Although it was only for a brief moment, Zhang Chen, who had been keeping a close eye on Bo Jiaru, caught it. He knew he had guessed correctly, which made his smile even wider.

"Yes, I know what your goal is."

As he spoke, Zhang Chen actually took a step forward.

"Don't be surprised, it's not hard to guess."

"Recently, monsters have been appearing frequently. I discovered a special kind of energy that can attract monsters. At first, I just thought it was the work of some alien device, but your appearance has made me change my mind."

"You've been on Earth for quite some time now, and it's puzzling that you haven't made any moves. So why are you suddenly taking action now? This reminds me of a rumor I recently received."

"You... you're here for the Ultra Brothers' legacy too, aren't you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the secluded street fell silent once again.

The dim streetlights intertwined with the deep night, like a layer of solidified oil paint.

"Hehe..." Bogaru let out a low laugh, the sound like sandpaper rubbing against glass, with an unsettling quality.

Her narrow eyes, gleaming with an inhuman light, narrowed as she re-examined the seemingly ordinary man before her, who seemed to know far too many secrets.

"Interesting. You seem to know a lot about the Ultra Brothers' legacy?"

Zhang Chen did not deny it. "I don't know much, but I know that whatever the Ultra Brothers left behind, no matter what it is, is priceless. You can't just stand by and watch it fall into human hands."

"After all, if the power of the Ultra Brothers reappears on Earth, it means that the Land of Light has not been completely destroyed, something that certain dark beings absolutely do not want to see."

As Zhang Chen spoke, he pointed to the starry night sky and continued.

"Then why don't you make a move? I think it's because you don't know the whereabouts of that thing either, so you can only keep summoning monsters to suppress Eggers and Phyllis, preventing them from maintaining their full strength, so that they can't stop you from seizing the treasure during the handover process, right?"

"What you say makes a lot of sense." Bogaru nodded slightly, her pale face appearing even more eerie in the shadows. "Therefore, you should understand even more how much of a disturbance your existence, your 'understanding,' is to me."

Invisible energy was gathering at her fingertips, and the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly dropped by several degrees.

Zhang Chen seemed oblivious to the deadly threat. "But you can't touch me, at least not tonight, in Jiangcheng."

"Because you know that if you attack me, forcing me to summon King Black..."

He paused for a moment, a cold smile curving his lips.

"...Then it will no longer be a confrontation in a dark corner."

"King Black, and your true form as a high-dimensional predator, will put on a spectacular 'performance' in the sky above this city, right before everyone's eyes."

"The explosion will illuminate half the city, and the Earth Defense Force will be completely alerted. At that time, your plan to transfer the secret treasure will be... heh..." Zhang Chen let out a cold laugh.

Bogaru's narrow eyes flickered violently.

Then her voice turned low and dangerous, carrying a hint of offended anger. "Little bug, you seem to have overestimated the abilities of those two barely surviving members of the Light Clan, and underestimated my power."

The energy fluctuations emanating from Bogaru instantly became violent, and the cement ground beneath his feet silently cracked with fine lines.

In terms of combat effectiveness.

She definitely has the power to flip the table!
