Demon King: Hero, don't run away!
Chapter 1459: I’m Soaring to the Sky Too
Yang Yu was preparing his own [Sky-shattering Dragon Roar].
This skill can trigger the user’s Dragon Bloodline, combining the five-dimensional attributes to launch a powerful attack, inducing a series of luck-based amplifications.
The [Sky-shattering Dragon Roar] is an adaptive must-kill skill, and it manifests differently with different users.
In He Meng’s case, [Sky-shattering Dragon Roar] transformed into the must-kill [Dragon Transformation Wave], allowing her to summon a water dragon for attack and briefly transform into a small dragon for combat.
The cooldown for [Dragon Transformation Wave] is only five hours, but since she cannot transform back at will once in small dragon form, He Meng doesn’t like to use this skill often.
While strategizing in the [Hall of History], He Meng constantly tried to develop [Dragon Transformation Wave] in hopes of finding a way to lift some restrictions, but progress was incredibly slow.
Yang Yu learned [Sky-shattering Dragon Roar] from He Meng, benefiting significantly from her knowledge.
Unlike [Dancing in the Air], [Sky-shattering Dragon Roar] had appeared in the giant dragon’s Racial Essence options, meaning there was no reason for Yang Yu not to learn it.
Like He Meng, [Sky-shattering Dragon Roar] also manifested adaptively on Yang Yu.
The dance of the sword blade came to an abrupt halt, and a unique aura rose from beneath Yang Yu’s feet, spreading across his body like flickering flames.
Upon a series of examinations, Tian Hanxue finally discovered that the characteristic magic power constituting the magic had been knocked off and replaced by Bai Jin’s characteristic magic power.
While astonished at Bai Jin’s capability to such an extent, Tian Hanxue also noticed Yang Yu’s anomaly.
After Yang Yu dealt with a Demon Clan cadre, several cadres joined forces to attack, intending to restrain Yang Yu. Unexpectedly, Yang Yu easily evaded their attacks as if dancing, injuring several of them in succession.
For a moment, fear arose in the Demon Clan cadres who had united against Yang Yu.
Yang Yu undoubtedly possessed power at the Four Heavenly Kings level, and any mishap could cost them their lives.
These Demon King cadres had come this far, gaining such power only through immense time and effort.
They still hoped to contribute more strength to this war and didn’t want to die like this.
Tian Hanxue had tasked them with restraining Yang Yu, and now was not the time for desperate confrontations.
No one dared approach Yang Yu. Even those cadres capable of using long-range control magic kept their distance, not rashly using certain control skills.
Yang Yu swung his knife in place; the Demon Clan cadres, not knowing what Yang Yu had planned, did not act recklessly.
It was precisely the Demon Clan’s caution that gave Yang Yu the chance to complete his skill.
By the time the Demon Clan cadres noticed Yang Yu’s transformation, it was too late; they had no choice but to brace themselves and advance!
A large and a small figure cut through the white fog, stepping into Yang Yu’s perception range. The brother cadres, one short but wielding a large knife and the other tall wielding a fine sword, overlapped their weapons. Tornadoes swirled around each weapon as they activated their combination skill.
The two swung their weapons simultaneously, merging the tornadoes into one. The violently churning wind flew towards Yang Yu like the abyss’ open maw, trying to imprison him within the tornado and sever his limbs.
This was a cooperative skill requiring the two of them; Yang Yu had seen it before.
For any skill witnessed, Yang Yu had the confidence to counter it.
As the tornado approached, Yang Yu’s figure instantly moved, performing an [Avoidance Acceleration] to the right, easily dodging the oncoming whirlwind.
"The preparations are complete; now it’s just waiting for the progress bar to finish. In the meantime, consider it a warm-up!"
The moment the sound reached the brothers’ ears, Yang Yu’s figure had somehow appeared behind them. In an instant, crimson gushed from their backs simultaneously.
Yang Yu effortlessly slashed their backs open.
"[Snow Swallowing Giant]"
A Demon Clan cadre wielding an ice hand raised a magic wand, white ice light spread across the ground, and an ice and snow-constructed frost giant rose up, its large mouth opened wide like a vacuum cleaner, absorbing everything around it. The ice and snow near Yang Yu surged into the frost giant’s mouth.
Yang Yu fiercely stomped his feet downwards, touching the ground, and activated [Climbing], grasping the earth.
The grip provided by [Climbing] wasn’t enough for Yang Yu to stabilize himself. Thorns sprouted from his back, holding his legs tight.
Weapon and Shield disappeared simultaneously. Yang Yu grabbed the clothing of two adjacent Demon Clan cadres and threw them into the ice and snow giant, blocking its mouth.
A gold and red aura swirled up from Yang Yu’s feet again, gently blowing his hair, adding a tinge of gold and red to his brown-black strands.
Re-drawing his sword blade, the red aura swiftly climbed onto Yang Yu’s sword blade; a red giant dragon shadow roared past his sword. Taking out the shield again, a golden giant dragon shadow coiled down onto his shield.
Gold and red spiraled open, clearing an area in the pristine ice mist.
Yang Yu glanced upwards, capturing Tian Hanxue’s position in his gaze.
Tian Hanxue slightly furrowed her brows, recognizing the origin of Yang Yu’s powers at once:
"Did he use the giant dragon’s Racial Essence?
With his strength, winning the Dragon God Conference is not an issue.
This skill must have been acquired from the Racial Essence of the giant dragon species!"
Tian Hanxue did not know the effects of the skill Yang Yu was using now, but her intuition told her more trouble lay ahead.
As Bai Jin’s control over the characteristic magic power weakened, Tian Hanxue shattered the newly constructed magic directly.
Tian Hanxue originally intended to quickly deal with Bai Jin and the others and return Yang Yu to her loving embrace, but Bai Jin and the others were more capable than she had imagined, surviving her attack once again.
Tian Hanxue decided to change strategies, first thoroughly severing Yang Yu’s limbs and then eradicating Bai Jin and the others completely.
"Swoosh—" went the sound as Tian Hanxue unfolded her folded fan, reconstructing magic.
Learning from her earlier lesson, Tian Hanxue fortified the magic several times over with extreme caution this time.
With a flick of the fan, a fierce cold wind howled out, spawning countless spindle-shaped spurs with blue light, flying towards Yang Yu as if a salvo of missiles leaving a trail.
Tian Hanxue’s skill was also a large-scale magic; wherever the ice spikes went, solid ice would rapidly spread, creating a frozen realm.
The ice spurs were not only aimed at Yang Yu but also his surroundings. Tian Hanxue planned a wide-range freeze, just like she had done at the Star Eyes Clan’s mansion, to seal Yang Yu’s movements.
Yang Yu pulled his foot out from the snow, hanging in mid-air. Suddenly, mirror-like golden glass appeared, cushioning beneath his feet.
The golden glass wasn’t a single piece. In an instant, dozens of golden glass panes suspended unexpectedly in mid-air.
Applying force with his feet, stepping on the golden glass, Yang Yu ascended skywards, rushing directly at Tian Hanxue.
This was one of the effects of Yang Yu’s [Sky-shattering Dragon Roar], allowing him to create footholds mid-air according to his will.
