Xue Jing''s true body was hidden in the very center of the giant dark humanoid''s chest.
"Boom!!"
Following that, the Shadow me ignited on the giant figure, animating into a suit of ancient and exquisite armor covering the entire body. Each piece of the armor was even more intricate than that of Lv4, its color a deeper and darker ck, dotted with bursts of Dark me.
As the helmet materialized, covering the head and revealing only the pale, hollow eyes, theplete form of the near fifteen-sixteen-meter-tall Shadowme Armor giant was finally fully assembled.
"Roar——!!"
The Amethyst Giant Wolf issued a challenging roar towards the dark giant, the sound so immense it seemed as though the heaven and earth trembled twice in response.
In the distance, inside the cockpit of an airne, Void de and Mountain Demon gazed through the cabin window at the mythic scene of the giant and the wolf, their mouths agape in astonishment.
"He... he wasn''t at full strength just then?"
Inside the ''cockpit'' at the center of his chest, Xue Jing was carefully feeling the changes urring in the Lv5 Shadow me.
"Very good, the scale has expanded, and the strength has greatly improved," he noted.
"It''s also much smoother to control and allows for much more precise maneuvers..."
Xue Jing''s eyes twinkled as he thought of a use for his newfound ability.
"Maybe I can try..."
As the power in his legs ran out, the giant,cking the ability to fly, began to fall towards the ground.
"Roar——!!"
The Amethyst Giant Wolf howled and started to ''run'' on nothingness in mid-air, sprinting towards the dark giant with incredible speed. The giant body churned the air current, ripping apart the clouds on its way as if tearing them in two.
Xue Jing controlled the dark giant, spreading its arms and legs wide in a free fall, getting closer and closer to the wolf that was rushing upwards.
Just as the two were about to collide, Xue Jing''s gaze intensified.
Inside the Shadow me animated humanoid, various changes began to ur.
At that moment, if a Martial Artist could have seen through the body of the giant, they would have been astonished to find
it was using breathing skills and mobilizing its Power!
Spiral indentations began to appear on the giant''s armor-d right arm.
Xue Jing''s eyes lit up.
Although it couldn''tpare to the extreme precision of a human body, and while his method was quite crude and brutal, by forcibly mobilizing the internal veins and tissue movements of the giant, he did actually manage to generate some Power!
"Come on!" he shouted.
The giant''s right arm was raised high.
"Damn Super Rolling Thunder!"
The massive gauntlet-covered right fist swung out violently, sending a spiral-shaped visible st of air towards the approaching wolf''s head.
"Boom————!!"
An unprecedented terrifying noise erupted, and a ferocious wave of air tore open the clouds within a hundred meters, creating a kind of vacuum to some extent. The intense Sound Wave vibrations spread, causing the airne''s windows to crack and show lines, almost shatteringpletely.
"Quick, move further away! Don''t stay so close to them!" urged Void de.
"Crack—Crack Crack Crack—"
The purple crystal skull of the giant wolf shattered directly from the punch, scattering countless shards, while the dark giant''s entire forearm also burst into numerous mes of Dark me.
"Awooo——"
The wolf let out a pained howl, flung dozens of meters away before forcibly halting its body. It shook its head as the shattered skull began to regrow and continued to pounce again.
Xue Jing immediately drew out the dense ck air current, transforming it into Dark me to refill the giant''s arm.
Then the spiral indentations emerged again on both arms—
"Ora ora ora ora ora ora!!"
Countless shadows of ck fists bombarded the wolf, bang bang bang bang bang!
A relentless barrage of random blowsnded on the wolf''s crystalline body, shattering countless fragments and keeping it at bay.
Each punch carried a weight that life could hardly bear, each one brutal and unforgiving.
The wolf was battered into continuous cries, and in desperation, its crystalline fur stood on end.
"Whiz whiz whiz whiz——"
A barrage of crystal spikes like a torrential rain assaulted the dark giant, striking its body, producing a cacophony of shing metal sounds.
The ck armor was ripped apart, spikes prating the giant''s flesh, embedding deeply more than a meter before stopping. Seeing this, Xue Jing retracted the giant''s arms in front of his chest.
"Zzzzzz——"
In a matter of seconds, the giant''s body was filled with dense, slender crystal spikes.
Looking at his arms now prated and showing tips of spikes, Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.
Countless Dark mes burst from the giant''s body, burning and annihting the crystal thorns stuck to his body, and then filling and repairing the giant''s body.
Afterward, the giant assumed a double-handed grip, a mass of Dark mes burned in its palms, materializing a long ck sword.
"For fuck''s sake, the Fatal Ascending Dragon Sword!"
The giant swung the pitch-ck long sword, chopping towards the giant wolf with a force capable of splitting mountains.
"Swoosh——"
Starting from its head, the Amethyst Giant Wolf was split into two halves, the split extending from the head down to the abdomen, almost severing the body in two.
Xue Jing, who had been keeping his Eye-Prating Flow active, sharply noticed something abnormal inside the wolf''s cleaved amethyst body.
In a specific part of its right half, there was a slightly brighter ''dot''.
That must be the location of the Sky Pirates'' leader—Xue Jing instantly realized.
His entire body leaped out directly from the ''cockpit''.
Twin Speed, activate!
A ck te appeared beneath Xue Jing''s feet, and with a fierce shove of his feet against the te, he headed towards the inside of the wolf''s body, which was gradually sealing itself.
"Gundam fight''s over, now it''s pilot brawl time."
Under Twin Speed, Xue Jing''s velocity was truly that of an arrow released from the bowstring, instantly closing in on the ''dot''.
His right fist ignited with Dark me; corporeal Dragon Qi exited and coiled around his body while he activated the Power of Twins.
"Whirlwind Thunder!"
Thunder exploded, the spiraling Qi Force caused the Dark me to rotate as well, mming into the crystal wall in front of him.
"Crack!"
The crystal shattered, and a spiral-shaped, deep hole was dug out. At the end of the hole, one could vaguely see a piece of rubber-like clothing buried within the crystal.
That was where the Sky Pirates'' boss truly was.
Xue Jing immediately dove into the hole, raising his fist high; his blood boiled as if Ten Thousand Sparkling Starfires had been ignited, bursting forth.
"It''s over."
He muttered to himself.
The fist capable of crushing steel and cutting iron passed through the crystal walls, bypassed the tough imnted skin membrane, and exploded within his body.
...
In a distant ne, Void de and Mountain Demon were nervously watching the giant battle the giant wolf through the cracked window.
"Xue Jing''s real body seems to have jumped in there?"
"What''s the situation now?"
Mountain Demon swallowed nervously.
Void de spoke, "Xue Jing''sbat talent is high; he wouldn''t make reckless moves. He must have found the Sky Pirate''s weak spot."
As if responding to her words, in a short while, the Amethyst Giant Wolf''s body stiffened up entirely.
Then, its body began to crack bit by bit, the cracks growing more and more numerous and wider.
As the cracks spread all over, the wolf''s body reached its limit, and with a crack, itpletely shattered.
Numerous crystal shards sparkled under the sunlight, like a magnificent curtain of rain, with Xue Jing''s tall figure standing amidst countless shimmering crystal rains, holding aloft a burly man who was limp and boneless like a rag doll.
Void de stared at the scene, somewhat dazed.
"I... Goddamn, he won!"
Mountain Demon eximed in shock.
Returning to her senses, Void de picked up the inte on the wall and said, "Jing, drive over there."
...
Xue Jing stood on a ck te in the air, dodged nimbly, and jumped onto the body of the airneing to pick him up.
The hatch was opened, and holding the Sky Pirates leader, he flipped down with agile movements into the cabin.
"Brother!"
Mountain Demon immediately knelt down in front of him, hugging his thigh.
"Mountain Demon has wandered half his life,menting theck of a worthy master. If you do not cast me aside, I wish to be your sworn brother!"
He spoke with genuine sincerity.
Xue Jing tossed the Sky Pirates leader to the ground, ignored Mountain Demon, pretended to wipe the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, and sighed impetuously:
"That was close, almost got killed, lucky I''m one step ahead..."
...
