Chapter 490 - 408: Dividing the Battle
Shining Star had seen arrogant people before.
The Sky Patrol Department had many experts, not to mention the seven Star Lords, there were also dozens of First Level Special Envoys.
They were all top masters among the Shining Stars, and it was inevitable that some would be proud and arrogant.
But no matter how arrogant they were, they were still on the same side.
However, seeing those from Qiguang being so arrogant before him made Shining Star very displeased!
“Tian Bulue, you go ahead with the Pulse Drawing Bead to meet Yan Changming. I’ll hold off these two.”
With a cold snort, Shining Star stepped forward.
However, after a moment’s thought, Tian Bulue also stepped up.
“Let’s handle this together. After all, they’re not Star Envoys, just two subordinates.
If we join forces, even if they are tough, we can at least hold out until Special Envoy Yan arrives.
Special Envoy Shining Star, you don’t lack that much confidence, do you?”
“Tch! I thought I could handle it alone, that’s why I asked you to retreat.” Shining Star puckered his lips, then his expression hardened. “Fine, let’s deal with them together!”
Hearing this, Tian Bulue nodded secretly.
In truth, both Tian Bulue and Shining Star knew how difficult these two subordinates of the Star Envoy were.
After all, they had severely injured Song Xiao, and their record was clear.
So to be safe, Shining Star wanted Tian Bulue to take the Pulse Drawing Bead with the Wolf Vein and leave first.
But Tian Bulue knew that another reason Shining Star said this was because he believed that Tian Bulue, as a Quasi First Level Special Envoy, was somewhat weaker, so he wanted to stay behind alone to hold off the opponents.
Regardless of whether he was weaker or not, Tian Bulue knew that if he left first, Shining Star would be in real danger.
So he used words to provoke Shining Star and insisted on resisting the enemies together.
“Hey, have you finished discussing?” Dominic snickered ahead. “You’re really touching, acting like comrades. Since that’s the case, I will send you both to hell together!”
Dominic’s smile turned cold, and he charged with his Cross Sword!
Shining Star raised his hands to summon yellow sand to form a Rock Shield.
At this time, Tian Bulue moved faster with his BroadSaber, slashing at Dominic.
“Clang!”
The BroadSaber clashed against the Cross Sword, the weapons collided heavily.
“Leave this to me,” Tian Bulue said without looking back. “That other’s abilities are quite bizarre; I can’t handle them well.”
“Alright!” Shining Star was not one to dawdle, shaking his sleeves, two Sand Tornadoes swirled around him, killing towards Chad in the distance.
Dominic looked at Tian Bulue before him and narrowed his eyes with a smile. “It looks like you think I’m easier to handle?”
Actually, Tian Bulue didn’t think which of the two subordinates was stronger or weaker; he just knew the other seemed to control invisible airflow, much easier for Shining Star’s yellow sand to deal with.
But since Dominic asked this, Tian Bulue stiffly curled his lips and responded, “Yes, you seem weaker.”
“Weaker?” Dominic’s smile stiffened, then his voice turned cold. “Then I’ll just have to kill you quickly!”
The Cross Sword in Dominic’s hand suddenly glowed blue, and in an instant, it directly cut Tian Bulue’s BroadSaber in two!
Tian Bulue’s pupils shrank. He didn’t expect that his beloved Super Blue Star Device, which had accompanied him for years, would break like this!
Before Tian Bulue could react, the Cross Sword slashed at his body after cutting the BroadSaber!
“Die, fool!”
Dominic seemed to see the scene of Tian Bulue being split in two.
Enhancing his weapon with the Power of Soul and Green Steel, breaking an opponent’s weapon and instantly killing him, was a scene Dominic had witnessed countless times.
However, at this moment, the blue-glowing Cross Sword seemed to strike a hard black stone, failing to cut through!
“Huh?!”
Dominic’s expression changed slightly. He never expected that a slash which could break a Star Device couldn’t cut through the opponent’s body!
This was Tian Bulue’s Power of Soul—Yue Mountain.
Through meditation, he could continuously accumulate Unbreakable power, and release it at crucial moments, turning it into mountain-like defense and strength!
During the last task’s Filth Formation explosion at the Array Eye, Tian Bulue was able to bring Yu Qing out unharmed because of this.
At this moment, Tian Bulue switched from defense to offense, grabbing Dominic’s Cross Sword and stabbing towards Dominic’s heart with the broken blade.
“Green Steel!”
“Clang!”
Blue light flowed over Dominic’s body, blocking Tian Bulue’s strike.
Dominic laughed, “Green Steel can enhance oneself and the objects in contact, greatly improving attack and defense. I don’t know why your defense is so strong, but with your strength, you can’t harm me…”
Without hesitation, Tian Bulue dropped the broken blade, his fists filled with black light, and punched directly at Dominic’s face!
Dominic’s expression changed slightly as he hurriedly raised his left hand to block.
However, the mountain-like power on the fist was astounding, pushing Dominic back with one punch.
“Ugh!…”
A wisp of blood trickled from the corner of Dominic’s mouth, his expression darkening further.
While Green Steel could enhance surface defense, it was helpless against the internal injuries caused by blunt strikes.
“What a surprise…” Dominic spat, narrowing his eyes slightly, “Interesting, I want to see how capable you really are!”
With blue light swirling around him, Dominic, bare-fisted, attacked again.
Tian Bulue threw away Dominic’s Cross Sword and raised his fists to meet him.
“Boom!”
In an instant, they collided fiercely. Spirit Light Burst, the airwaves exploded, every blow struck flesh in an intense and terrifying exchange…
Meanwhile.
Sands and air currents clashed continuously.
Streams of invisible air, like tentacles, attacked from all directions secretly.
This air was invisible and silent due to Chad’s control over it, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to defend against.
But Shining Star’s expression remained calm. Yellow sand covered all around, causing the invisible air currents to reveal themselves upon contact, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
In an instant, Shining Star and Chad had exchanged dozens of long-range attacks.
The flowing sand was powerful and heavy, while the invisible air currents were numerous and more flexible, making it difficult for either side to gain the upper hand.
Shining Star controlled the Sand Tornadoes to disperse the air currents, secretly flicking his fingers as lines of yellow sand shot out, wrapping around Chad under the cover of the Sand Tornado—this was Sand Entanglement.
It’s done!
Shining Star’s heart leaped with joy, “Crush him, Double Dragon Strike Sky!”
The two Sand Tornadoes instantly transformed into dragon shapes, violently breaking through the protective air currents, crashing into Chad from both sides!
“Boom!”
Just one sand dragon could severely injure a typical Shining Star.
What about a collision from two sand dragons?
Once hit, survival was almost impossible.
Shining Star focused intensely on the center of the spiraling sand dragons, suddenly sensing something, his expression changing slightly.
“Boom boom!”
With explosive sounds, the heads of the twin sand dragons blasted apart simultaneously, forced back by an even stronger force.
Right there, Chad’s appearance had changed dramatically.
High-density compressed airflow wrapped around his back and shoulders. His brown curls had straightened and floated without wind. White air streamers like tassels wrapped around his body.
Chad spread his hands wide, using incredible air pressure to block and repel the surrounding sand dragons!
As for himself…
“Completely unharmed!”
Shining Star was startled but reacted quickly as the scattered yellow sand rejoined the Sand Tornadoes, twirling around and killing Chad again.
Chad sneered, shooting out like a steam cannonball, reaching Shining Star in a blink, throwing a punch.
“So fast!!”
Shining Star’s pupils contracted. He couldn’t even gather the surrounding yellow sand to defend, only managed to cross his arms in front.
“Boom!”
The airwaves exploded, Shining Star spat out blood, flying over a hundred meters!
Before Shining Star could steady himself, Chad approached with lightning speed, smashing down another punch.
The ground cracked, dust surged, Shining Star was embedded into a massive pit.
Chad’s attack continued, white air surging. He descended from mid-air, stomping down hard!
At that moment, a giant sand net suddenly rose from the dust, catching Chad by surprise.
Chad sneered, his air pressure rising rapidly, trying to break through the sand net to crush Shining Star!
But quickly, a dragon roar was heard. A sand dragon promptly struck Chad from the side, catching him off guard.
The sand dragon seized Chad, dragging him into the sky, then diving straight down!
With a loud crash, yellow sand erupted!
The third form of the Yellow Dragon Technique, Kanglong Youhui!
“Hah, hah, hah, hah…”
In the giant pit, Shining Star stood up with difficulty, clutching his chest, his breathing heavy, looking pale. His right hand hung powerlessly.
Chad’s earlier attacks had severely injured Shining Star, breaking bones in his right arm.
Looking at the spot where the sand dragon landed not far away, Shining Star’s expression grew heavy. “This guy, his close combat is so strong…”
He had thought the opponent’s fighting style resembled his own, using sand and air currents.
Yet unexpectedly, the opponent transformed, becoming a warrior with such terrifying strength and speed!
“But after being hit by Kanglong Youhui, he should be severely injured if not dead…”
“Boom!!”
At that moment, a loud explosion was heard as white air currents rushed from the sand dragon’s body, flowing and bursting.
In an instant, the sand dragon, once solid and mighty, shattered into countless pieces of yellow sand!
Chad emerged, wrapped in white air streams like the Devil-Suppressing Silk of a Heavenly God Vajra, stepping out from the yellow sand.
Shining Star’s face turned ashen.
“Even this couldn’t hurt him?!”
