Chapter 1856: Chapter 972: Taboo ACE-003, Snake of Trickery (2)
At this moment, the Drama Master must have foreseen the fight between him and the Duke of Phoenix, so he had to let Qing Ji take Qing Chen away first.
Qing Ji silently picked up Qing Chen and turned to leave. In the distance, the Duke of Phoenix had already stood up, walking leisurely out of the sandstorm, seemingly unconcerned about this Demi God Knight: "The Black Knights of Silver City are also your knightâs legacy, right? Iâve fought with the Silver City Duke, knights are just so-so."
In the sandstorm, the red outline of the Duke of Phoenix became visible. He calmly hung two fiery red earrings on his earlobes, and intense flames began to burn on his body.
The temperature in the air suddenly surged, but within the enclosing flames, the Duke of Phoenix was unaffected.
Uncle Li Dong watched calmly without retorting. The opponentâs first move was a bottom-of-the-box Taboo, seemingly specialized in countering a knightâs close-combat ability.
The next moment, the Duke of Phoenix disappeared from his spot. His body became a fiery red afterimage, rushing towards Qing Chen on Qing Jiâs back.
The target was extremely clear!
Uncle Li Dong casually picked up a leaf from the sandstorm and shot it towards the afterimage.
Those Autumn Leaf Knives couldnât catch up with the Duke of Phoenixâs afterimage, only piercing through and nailing onto the wall opposite.
The opponentâs speed was at the extreme, no wonder they said knights were just so-so.
The Duke of Phoenix effortlessly passed by Uncle Li Dong and charged straight at Qing Chen!
However, just as the Duke of Phoenix was about to reach Qing Chenâs side, Uncle Li Dong also vanished from his spot.
In an instant, a violent explosion sound erupted in the air, the terrifying noise of an air blast from compressed air suddenly releasing made Qing Jiâs eardrums ache, even bleeding.
Yet, when the Duke of Phoenixâs red afterimage was about to reach behind Qing Chen, Uncle Li Dong, who arrived later, kicked him far away first.
Caught off guard, the Duke of Phoenix flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing into and breaking through the outer wall of a residence.
Uncle Li Dong said with a smile: "Were you just talking about... knights like me?"
The Duke of Phoenix stood up with a bewildered look, different from any knight he had fought before.
Back when he was still A-Class, he had clashed with Lao Shiyi out of jealousy. At that time, the two fought fiercely in the Central Royal City, but Lao Shiyi ended up with a bruised and swollen face.
Lately, after he ascended to Demigod and sparred with the Silver City Duke, although he didnât win, he knew if he risked his life, it would be impossible to lose.
But facing Uncle Li Dong now, the Duke of Phoenix felt a sense of powerlessness.
He had already pushed his speed to the limit, yet the opponent still found him precisely.
If it werenât for the Taboo protecting him, that one kick might have broken him in two.
What he didnât know was that even the Silver City Duke at his peak was only eighty percent of Uncle Li Dongâs speed. The Black Knightsâ legacy was inherently incomplete!
Knights of the Eastern Continent have always prevailed by speed... and numbers.
Even Uncle Li Dong was a bit surprised, praising: "Is it the effect of a Taboo? You should have died from that kick just now."
The Duke of Phoenix did not answer, only patted the dust off his body and disappeared from the spot again.
This time he no longer targeted Qing Chen, but moved closer to Uncle Li Dong with every move.
Red afterimages darted back and forth near Uncle Li Dong, probing to find a weakness in the Demi God Knight.
Yet, Uncle Li Dong calmly stood still, casually punching into thin air in front of him.
With a loud bang, the Duke of Phoenix was sent flying backward once more!
Uncle Li Dong also vanished, the white and red figures engaged fiercely in the sandstorm, like two orbiting electrons colliding and separating again and again.
These white and red figures kept leaping, leaping, leaping.
Buildings collapsed in their wake, the terror of a demigod battle fully displayed, surrounding structures as fragile as paper in their hands, tearing apart with the slightest touch.
In fact, the Duke of Phoenix repeatedly disappeared into afterimages, only to be hammered out of that state by Uncle Li Dong time and again.
From start to finish, the Duke of Phoenix never managed to even touch Uncle Li Dong.
The high temperature around him could only singe Uncle Li Dongâs hair, unable to scorch his body before being struck away.
Strangely, no matter how many blows the Duke of Phoenix took, his body remained resilient and unaffected, as if he was a Taboo himself, indestructible!
Gradually, Uncle Li Dongâs speed slowed a little. No oneâs peak condition lasts forever, just like a sprinter canât sprint a marathon.
The Duke of Phoenix noticed this immediately, coldly laughing: "Iâm already in an invincible position, but your speed is not eternal."
Uncle Li Dong stood still, glancing at his watch. The Drama Masterâs visible twenty minutes had passed. He smiled and said: "So you admit your speed isnât as good as mine, but youâre not the only one with a Taboo."
At this point, he pulled out a thin silver snake from his pocket.
Uncle Li Dong cut open his palm, and the silver snake greedily attached itself to the wound, sucking his blood. Who knows how much blood it drank in one go, even causing the Demi God Knightâs complexion to pale a bit.
After having its fill, the silver snake coiled around Uncle Li Dongâs pinky, forming a tail ring.
Taboo ACE-003, Snake of Trickery!
This Tabooâs owners throughout generations have been knights, and now itâs finally passed to Uncle Li Dong. When Qing Chen helped his disciples request Taboos earlier, the old folks didnât hand the Snake of Trickery over to him.
