Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei finds a Freylian

“This place is a chaotic mix of Yin and Yang, with malevolent energy gathering here. It is not a good place,” Master Zhu said in a deep voice, gently flicking his whisk. “My junior sister and I are not good at direct combat, but we can set up an array to provide some assistance and protection.”

"Thank you for your trouble," Chu Zihang replied briefly.

The group continued their silent journey, the tunnel seemingly endless.

There were only footsteps, breathing, and dripping water.

Suddenly, Chu Zihang stopped abruptly and raised his left hand.

Everyone instantly assumed a fighting stance.

"Did you hear that?" he whispered.

Everyone listened intently. Apart from silence, an extremely faint noise drifted from ahead.

"It's around the corner ahead." Chu Zihang's golden eyes shone brightly. "Fingal, light up. Lu Mingfei, prepare. Frilian, assist with reconnaissance. Master Zhu, thank you for your help."

Fingel immediately turned the high-powered flashlight to maximum power, and the beam pierced the corner of the tunnel ahead like a sharp sword.

Master Zhu and his junior sister quickly retreated a few steps. Lingdang pressed the compass to the ground, made a hand seal, and a layer of light golden transparent light silently enveloped the two of them, and then subtly spread outward to cover their teammates.

Master Zhu took out several talismans from his robes, ready to unleash them.

The buzzing and panting suddenly became clear.

Just as the beam of light was about to illuminate the other side of the corner, a dark figure suddenly pounced out.

That can no longer be called a "human".

It largely retains the outline of a human, with its entire body covered in a layer of dark blue, metallic keratin, and sharp bone spurs growing from its joints.

Its limbs were unusually long, and its fingers had completely transformed into sharp, scythe-like claws that gleamed coldly, dragging on the ground and scraping out dazzling sparks.

Its head was twisted and deformed, its mouthparts split open to the base of its ears, revealing a dense array of needle-like sharp teeth, and its eyes were nothing but a cloudy yellow, filled with madness and hunger.

On the back, near the shoulder blades, two huge bulges were torn open, from which stretched out a pair of constantly writhing "wings" made up of countless tiny, ferocious black flying insects.

Each flying insect has sharp mouthparts and emits a dense buzzing sound that sends chills down your spine.

It still had some tattered strips of cloth hanging on it, which could be vaguely identified as Kassel College uniforms. On its chest was a nameplate almost covered with dirt and dried blood, with the words "Grade A" and the remnants of a name faintly visible.

"Deadpool!" Fingel roared, focusing his powerful flashlight on the monster's face without hesitation.

The bright light made it pause for a moment, then it let out an angry howl.

But Chu Zihang was even faster!

The moment the monster appeared, Murasame was already unsheathed!

The cold, sharp light of the blade pierced the darkness, carrying intense heat, and slashed straight at the monster's neck. Decapitation is one of the most effective ways to deal with Deadpool.

The insect wings on the monster's back suddenly flapped, not for flight, but to unleash a ring of invisible sound waves.

"Buzz!"

A powerful shockwave suddenly spread outwards from the monster's center. Chu Zihang was the first to be hit, feeling a sharp pain in his eardrums, as if countless sharp needles were piercing his brain, and his movements froze.

Murasame's slash trajectory was disrupted by the sound wave, slowing it down by half a beat.

Taking advantage of this brief opening, the monster twisted its body and retreated rapidly in a way that defied the laws of physics, its scythe-like claws slashing upwards to barely block Murasame's blade.

Clang!

A piercing clang of metal clashing echoed through the tunnel, sending sparks flying.

"Word of Power! It's Word of Power: Kamaitachi! No, it's the evolved version." Chu Zihang instantly realized, suppressing the buzzing in his head, he used the momentum to flip back and land back on the spot, his eyes solemn.

The opponent's reaction speed and strength far exceed those of an ordinary Deadpool.

"It's not just auditory interference!" Frillian's urgent voice rang out, her magic wand emitting a soft green light, instantly casting a shield around Chu Zihang. "Those flying insects are physical entities! They can suck blood! They're 'Vampire Scythes'!"

As if to prove her words, the insect wings on the monster's back suddenly spread out, transforming into a dark, buzzing cloud of insects, like a wave of death, rushing towards everyone.

Each of the vampire scythes opened its tiny mouthparts, yearning for blood.

"Holy crap!" Lu Mingfei was so scared that his soul almost left his body, and he instinctively raised his hand.

"Get out of the way!" Fingel roared, pulling out a large, exaggeratedly designed gun, or rather, a "cannon," from behind his back.

He pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom!

It wasn't a cannonball, but a burst of extremely compressed, high-temperature flame that erupted like a giant fan-shaped shield of fire, instantly engulfing the swarm of vampire sickle insects charging at the forefront.

A pungent, burnt smell filled the air, and countless charred insect corpses fell like raindrops.

"Hey! Senior brother's specially made flamethrower, perfect for dealing with all kinds of mosquitoes, insects, and rodents!" Fingel grinned smugly, but his face was also a little pale, indicating that this had taken a toll on his health.

However, the A-level student who had become a Deadpool completely ignored the losses suffered by the swarm.

Taking advantage of the flames as cover, it crawled along the tunnel wall at an astonishing speed on all fours, pouncing on Chu Zihang once again.

The speed was too fast, the movements too bizarre, completely exceeding the limits of human joints.

Chapter 169 Serum

Chu Zihang ignited his golden eyes, and Murasame swung out again, the blade instantly wreathed in blazing sovereign flames.

The high temperature distorted the air, and with a single slash, the heat wave was overwhelming.

However, the Dead Servant, who possesses the advanced Word of Power "Kamaitachi," has an abnormally high level of perception of airflow and danger.

He didn't even need to look; he could predict Chu Zihang's every strike by observing the airflow.

It twisted its body, narrowly avoiding the fatal slash of the Sovereign Flame. Its scythe-like claws, accompanied by a piercing whistle, relentlessly attacked Chu Zihang's vitals from various tricky angles.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Mars kept flashing.

Chu Zihang brought his swordsmanship to its peak, and Murasame's swordplay was so tight and impenetrable that it could only barely block the opponent's frenzied attacks.

The opponent's strength was astonishing; each collision sent shivers down Chu Zihang's spine. The keratinous layer covering his entire body was incredibly hard; even when a blade's energy grazed it, it could only leave a shallow white mark!

"Its defense and strength are approaching those of a pure-blooded dragon!" Chu Zihang said in a deep voice.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?!" Fingel tried to attack again with the flamethrower, but Deadpool and Chu Zihang were too locked in combat, and he couldn't find an opening.

Lu Mingfei stood guard on the sidelines, keeping watch for any other potential enemies, while Time Zero prepared to strike.

"The Heart-Cleansing Mantra!" came Master Zhu's voice from behind.

He and his junior sister worked together, and a light blue talisman shot out, exploding above Chu Zihang's head and turning into a cool rain of light that fell down.

Chu Zihang immediately felt the buzzing and irritability in his head lessen considerably, and his thinking became clearer.

"Wind manipulation." Frillian made her move again, tapping her staff lightly to disrupt the airflow around Deadpool and interfere with its control over the "Kamaitachi" incantation.

Deadpool's movements showed a barely perceptible hesitation.

It is extremely sensitive to changes in airflow. Although Frilian's interference was slight, it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, breaking its perfect perception range.

Right now.

Chu Zihang seized this fleeting opportunity, took a deep breath, and the flames in his golden eyes seemed to ignite.

"Monarch Flame - Explosion!"

Instead of swinging his sword, he instantly compressed the highly condensed King Flame energy at the tip of Murasame's blade and then unleashed it forward.

It's not a large-scale bombardment, but an extreme point explosion!

boom!

A highly condensed, dark red fireball shot out from the blade with astonishing speed, heading straight for Deadpool's chest.

The surrounding air was sucked out by the extreme heat, producing an airburst sound.

Deadpool let out a piercing screech; it sensed deadly danger. Its insect wings vibrated wildly as it attempted to unleash sonic interference again and retreat rapidly.

But Frilian's wind manipulation and the effects of the Heart-Cleansing Mantra were still present, so its reaction was ultimately slower.

The condensed fireball of the sovereign flames slammed into the center of its chest.

An astonishing explosion. Flames and shockwaves spread wildly in all directions, causing dust to fall from the tunnel walls.

Fingel quickly stepped in front of Lu Mingfei, using his flamethrower to absorb some of the impact.

Master Zhu and his junior sister maintained the protective barrier, their faces pale.

From the epicenter of the explosion came a scream of extreme agony.

Deadpool was blown away, crashing heavily into the tunnel wall before bouncing to the ground.

The keratin layer on the chest was shattered, revealing charred and broken flesh and blood tissue underneath, with faintly pulsating, dark internal organs visible. Green, foul-smelling blood gushed out.

It was still alive, sustained by a dragon-like tenacity.

Deadpool struggled to get up, his murky yellow eyes fixed on Chu Zihang, filled with resentment and madness. Although the insect wings on his back were tattered, they began to coalesce again.

Chu Zihang's eyes turned cold. He suppressed the exhaustion caused by the sudden burst of powerful flames and drew his sword to deliver the final blow.

"Don't...go there..."

An extremely faint, hoarse voice came intermittently from Deadpool's direction.

Everyone was stunned.

The dying monster suddenly stopped struggling.

A fleeting moment of clarity flashed in those crazed eyes.

It raised a twisted, sharp claw, as if pointing at something, and made a hoarse, whistling sound from its throat:

“Notes…wall…behind…plan…Nibelungen…error…”

The sound grew weaker and weaker, and the last glimmer of clarity in his eyes was quickly swallowed up by madness once again.

It let out a final roar and pounced again, fighting like a cornered beast.

Without further hesitation, Chu Zihang flashed his blade, and a twisted head flew off, spurting out green blood.

The headless corpse twitched a few times, then finally went completely still.

The remaining swarm of vampire sickle insects behind them lost their core, became chaotic, and quickly scattered and fled, disappearing into the depths of the dark tunnel.
