Xiao Feng stared coldly at the arrogant Black Dragon, no longer willing to waste words. "You bastard, the curse should be mine to give. Today, neither of you will leave Black Whale City alive."
Black Dragon sneered. "Fine. I'm curious to see what skills you, Xiao Feng, possess that could possibly keep me trapped in Black Whale City. But beware—the consequence of holding us here will be dire. The two of us will annihilate your entire X Legion."
Xiao Feng clenched his fists tightly upon hearing Black Dragon's words. "Black Dragon, you think you and your companion can sweep through my X Legion? Are you dreaming? I don't care who you truly are, but as long as I, Xiao Feng, am here, don't even think about laying a finger on the X Legion. Otherwise, I'll tear you apart alive!" With that, Xiao Feng charged fiercely at Black Dragon.
Without hesitation, dozens of tentacles erupted from Black Dragon's back, their tips hardening into steel-like spikes, sharper than bullets, thrusting violently at Xiao Feng.
Seeing Black Dragon brandish such tentacles, Xiao Feng realized this foe must have undergone bestial transformation, much like Duke Luke. He grew more cautious, dodging and weaving swiftly. To his eyes, the tentacles moved fast but not overwhelmingly so, and he closed in rapidly.
Frustrated that none of his many tentacles could strike Xiao Feng, Black Dragon tore off his robe, revealing countless black tentacles beneath. The terrifying mass of nearly a hundred appendages surged like a dark tidal wave, engulfing Xiao Feng.
In a flash, as Xiao Feng dodged, he seized one of Black Dragon's tentacles and unleashed a powerful current of electricity. The charge surged through the tentacle and into Black Dragon's body, causing faint sparks to crackle over him.
Xiao Feng tightened his grip, determined to electrocute this bastard leader of the Dark Dragon Sect to death.
Suddenly, Aris, who had been standing idly with hands in pockets, sprang into action, launching a fist at Xiao Feng with the speed and roar of a sonic boom.
Prepared from before, Xiao Feng immediately summoned a mental force barrier, which stopped Aris's punch mid-air with a solid "bang." Aris froze, stunned to see his fist strike an invisible wall as if hitting stone.
"You've evolved your psychic abilities," Aris remarked coldly.
Xiao Feng smirked. "Indeed." He continued to channel electricity through Black Dragon's tentacle, paying little attention to Aris.
However, Black Dragon's power surpassed that of an eighth-level psychic, making Xiao Feng's fourth-level electric shocks only mildly paralyzing rather than lethal due to Black Dragon's unique physiology.
Watching Xiao Feng persist with his electric assault, Aris rubbed his knuckles thoughtfully. "Alright, kid. If you're this strong, I won't hold back. If I lose to you again, our reputations are finished." With that, he fiercely hammered the psychic barrier.
This time, Aris's fist glowed faintly golden, raining down relentless blows on a single point of the barrier. Despite Xiao Feng's formidable B-level psychic defense, the repeated battering slowly cracked the shield.
Noticing the fissures, Xiao Feng, gripping Black Dragon's tentacle, cursed fiercely, "You bastard, why won't you just die?"
Black Dragon, seemingly adapting to the electric paralysis, rasped, "With your mere fourth-level shocks, you think you can kill me? Xiao Feng, you're delusional." A tentacle shimmering with electric sparks slowly rose and lunged toward Xiao Feng.
Calm and composed now, Xiao Feng recognized these two were true masters, unlike any opponents he had faced before.
With a deafening crash, Aris shattered Xiao Feng's barrier and launched a second punch aimed straight for his head.
Xiao Feng ducked sharply, evading the blow, but Black Dragon's tentacle slashed and pierced through his shoulder, leaving a gaping wound.
Nearby, the wolf king Baibai, despite his injuries from Aris, roared fiercely and lunged at Aris.
Startled, Aris abandoned Xiao Feng to engage Baibai. A fierce clash ensued—Aris knocked Baibai down with a punch, but Baibai retaliated with a swipe that forced Aris back several steps.
Struggling to his feet, Baibai howled again and charged.
Black Dragon's electric glow faded as he coldly lifted the tentacle that had pierced Xiao Feng, hoisting him up. Panting, he growled, "Xiao Feng, you are strong, but I warned you—today, I will kill you." He raised several tentacles targeting Xiao Feng's throat, heart, and other vital points.
At that moment, Xiao Feng's eyes caught a stone by the roadside—about the size of a soccer ball. Frowning, he reached out, summoning his powerful psychic force to levitate the rock.
When Black Dragon's tentacles were mere centimeters from Xiao Feng's body, the stone crashed into Black Dragon's head with a thunderous smash, shattering on impact.
Unprepared for this attack, Black Dragon's vision darkened, nearly losing consciousness. Summoning his last strength, he thrust his tentacles again, piercing Xiao Feng's body.
"Pch, pch..." The sounds echoed as multiple tentacles punctured Xiao Feng, akin to the sensation of being struck simultaneously by several bullets.
