Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 133: Thunder and the Watcher (43)

Dragon Raja 5

But he still kept trying to master this power. Although he was afraid, he still used it when necessary. He has never been a person who would sit and wait for others to protect him.

Edward opened his mouth, revealing his long, alienated fangs, and roared at Chu Zihang. But he retreated step by step, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned and fled. He didn’t want to fight Chu Zihang. He watched helplessly as his battering ram was shattered by his opponent’s blow. Even more terrifying, he could sense a certain dangerous aura emanating from him. It was an aura… more like an immortal than an immortal!

Chu Zihang dropped the gradually cooling skull and tried to crawl back into the ventilation duct. At this moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The Immortals didn’t flock in. This was incredible. There were at least twenty Immortals wandering around the ship. Unlike Edward, they hadn’t witnessed him destroy the battering ram with their own eyes. The movements in the steam room couldn’t have been missed by the Immortals wandering around. Yet, none of them came.

On the contrary, there was dead silence all around!

Chu Zihang concentrated, and after a moment, he sensed the presence of another person. In fact, the other person hadn’t concealed their identity. Slight sparks flashed in the white steam, a phenomenon of ionization caused by a certain word spirit.

Just as the battering ram avoided Edward, the immortals chose to stay away from this cabin. It wasn’t because they were afraid of Chu Zihang, but because there was a more terrifying monster here, and hunting him took priority. From a moment ago until now, the monster had been watching, and until this moment, it silently sent out some kind of signal, driving away all the immortals.

Amidst the low chanting, Chu Zihang’s figure became blurred. That was because the temperature in the steam room suddenly rose, and the air circulated at a high speed. Yanling Junyan had already begun to prepare.

“It’s said that no one has been able to master the word spirit ‘Jun Yan’ for many years.” A girl’s cold voice came from somewhere, “You are really a very secretive person. Who are you?”

Chu Zihang recognized the voice immediately; they had seen it before in the warehouse that night. It didn’t matter, because the black blades had already risen, twelve of them arranged like the twelve scales of a clock, with Chu Zihang standing at the center.

Chu Zihang didn’t answer. He turned his head and looked around, but didn’t see Susie.

But Susie must have been very close to him. Her field completely covered the steam room, and there were flowing arcs everywhere, drifting between metal containers and metal pipes. The air was not as ionized during the battle with Nono, so she had obviously left some room for maneuver.

In her domain, any metal object could become a weapon. These black flying knives were certainly dangerous, but even seemingly insignificant metal pipes, even those hidden in the walls, could be used by her. A black knife was certainly deadly, but so was a metal wire that drifted from behind and silently wrapped around her neck. The word spirit “Sword Control” could be used in many different ways.

Chu Zihang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on his hearing. For a half-blood of his level, he didn’t need to undergo rigorous training to be able to hear everything.

This was a dangerous confrontation, and no one wanted to take the first step. Jian Yu’s power was indeed terrifying, but Susie had also witnessed Chu Zihang’s explosive power in close combat, and now he had the even more dangerous Jun Yan in his hands.

The straight-line distance between Susie and Chu Zihang was no more than four meters, but she was not in the steam room. She was in the cabin directly above the steam room. She was actually observing Chu Zihang through the monitor in the steam room, and she spoke to Chu Zihang through the ship’s pager.

So Chu Zihang had no chance to detect her location. She was invisible, and this was the biggest bargaining chip in her hand.

Chu Zihang was certainly wary of Susie’s sword control, but Susie was equally wary of Chu Zihang. The sight of him destroying the battering ram was terrifying to anyone who witnessed it. Such calm violence erupted with a single wave of his hand.

Though the Sovereign Flame’s Word Spirit was rare, Susie had witnessed its unleashing. One of these Immortals had mastered it, and the fire it had ignited was still raging in the lower deck. But usually, the release of Sovereign Flame was explosive and uncontrollable, more like creating an incendiary bomb out of thin air than starting a conflagration. But in Chu Zihang’s hands, the flames were controlled with exquisite precision, like manipulating a spear or halberd with the precision of an embroidery needle. This couldn’t help but remind him of the Dragon King. Despite knowing that the King of Bronze and Fire had fallen in the Three Gorges Reservoir, Chu Zihang, when he destroyed the battering ram, truly acted like a king born for fire.

After a close encounter with Chu Zihang at the fire scene, Susie drew an image of Chu Zihang from memory and sent it to EVA. EVA searched global databases but found no information related to this man. Finger also said he didn’t know where this man came from.     

Of course, Lu Mingfei and NuoNuo would not take any random passerby with them when they were on the run, so this man must be very special, or even… If Lu Mingfei is the Dragon King, then could this mysterious man be another Dragon King?
