Chapter 119 Code Name "Smoke Dragon", Wang Qingyun? Do you think I need that thing?
Chapter 119 Code Name "Smoke Dragon", Wang Qingyun? Do you think I need that thing?
"It's you! Yanlong!"
For the first time, Bai Xiang's voice was filled with uncontrollable shock.
It was as if a long-buried memory had been suddenly torn open.
He stared intently at the face before him, a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Twelve years ago, in the western border of the Dragon Kingdom.
He stole the core data of "Project Source", which attracted the top-level combat power of the new generation of the Dragon Kingdom to attack him.
Five members of the "Zodiac" reserve team.
One of them was codenamed "Smoke Dragon".
He was always smoking.
They charge the fiercest and fight the craziest.
The strongest contender for the "Dragon" title that year.
In that battle, if his comrade hadn't risked his life to detonate the forbidden item [Seed of Annihilation], he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
And it was in that battle that the foundation of [Smoke Dragon] was destroyed, its altar fell, and it disappeared without a trace.
Everyone thought he was finished.
But why is he here?
And he became just an ordinary police officer?
Most importantly, the power within him... is a fusion of the professional system and unorthodox practices!
"Wang Jianguo..."
"No, I should call you Wang Qingyun!"
Bai Xiang pronounced the name slowly and deliberately, his eyes filled with unparalleled horror.
"Weren't you already crippled?! Why can you still use your professional skills and talents?!"
"hehe."
Wang Jianguo, no, he should be called Wang Qingyun.
His eyes were calm and unfathomable.
"Thanks to you, I've turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise. I've changed tracks, and the scenery is quite nice."
This statement seems to be about a trivial matter that has nothing to do with oneself.
But this calm demeanor did not escape Bai Xiang's notice.
But it made him more uneasy than any arrogant provocation.
No one knew this person's prowess better than him.
"Impossible!" Bai Xiang roared. "The foundation of your profession has already been contaminated by the energy caused by the self-destruction of the [Seed of Annihilation]. Your psionic energy cycle has collapsed, beyond saving! How could you possibly..."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Wang Qingyun smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, looking completely different from his previous appearance.
He glanced at the enormous evil eye in the sky.
He then looked at the eerie statue in the palm of Bai Xiang's hand.
"Didn't you also end up on this path?"
"What a pity..."
Wang Qingyun felt a touch of pity, like an adult looking at a child.
"You're going to die!"
He took out another cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.
This time, the smoke he exhaled was no longer ordinary white.
Rather, it was a... viscous, fiery red color, like molten lava from the Earth's core!
Facing the astonished gazes of Bai Xiang, Wang Qingyun spoke calmly, yet it seemed as if he were proclaiming a truth.
"Go tell your partner I have to thank him!"
The moment the words fell.
The crimson smoke in front of him, without any energy fluctuations, occupied, entangled, and shaped itself in a way that defied the laws of physics.
In the blink of an eye, it coalesced into a lifelike, scale-covered... Eastern divine dragon!
A divine dragon composed entirely of crimson smoke!
It has no physical form, yet it exudes a terrifying heat that can melt steel, scorching and distorting the surrounding air, and emitting a mournful cry of unbearable pressure!
"roar--!"
A silent dragon's roar did not travel through the air, but instead exploded powerfully deep within everyone's soul.
next second.
The dragon formed from smoke moved.
Instead of lunging at the nearby Hundred Images, it raised its dragon head and charged headlong into the sky at the enormous, eerie eye summoned by [Agen's Gaze], ignoring the distance between them!
"No!"
Bai Xiang let out a terrified scream.
The Demon Eye seemed to sense the threat as well, and a beam of annihilation light capable of disintegrating everything shot out from its dark pupils, striking the Smoke Dragon directly!
However, a scene that shattered Bai Xiang's spirit and soul occurred.
The annihilating light, powerful enough to obliterate everything, failed to destroy the Smoke Dragon the moment it touched it.
Instead, it was as if light captured by a black hole was swallowed whole by the crimson dragon's mouth!
After devouring the light of annihilation, the crimson smoke dragon became even deeper and darker, and its size visibly doubled!
On the dragon's body, even wisps of pitch-black flames representing the power of "annihilation" were burning!
"How is this possible... The Light of Annihilation... How could you...?"
Bai Xiang was completely stunned; his worldview was shattered at that moment.
"this one?"
Wang Qingyun uttered the last word, his eyes filled with nothing but disdain.
"What a waste of this gem."
Boom—!
The surging smoke dragon, with a force that seemed to tear the sky apart, crashed violently into the demonic eye in the sky!
There were no earth-shattering explosions.
That evil eye, which had gathered malice from all ages, was like a plastic balloon that had been pierced by a red-hot iron. It let out a mournful cry and collapsed and disintegrated in an instant!
In the end, it turned into a sky full of black smoke and vanished into nothingness.
puff--!
Bai Xiangru was struck head-on by a gigantic hammer weighing millions of tons, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
His entire aura instantly became extremely weak.
The evil god statue he clutched tightly in his hand, the true form of [Agon's Gaze], let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain.
It fell to the ground and rolled to one side.
one move.
He only used one puff of cigarette smoke.
Wang Qingyun has debunked Bai Xiang's strongest trump card!
How is that possible!
"Now, it's your turn."
Wang Qingyun, a cigarette dangling from his lips, walked step by step toward the crumbling Bai Xiang.
He walked very slowly, and with each step he took, a shallow, charred, glassy footprint was silently left on the cement ground beneath his feet.
That was the high temperature naturally emanating from his body, which had exceeded the ignition point of cement.
Bai Xiang was terrified.
Since his debut, he has roamed the darkness and treated human life as worthless. For the first time, he experienced the emotion called "fear".
At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to twelve years ago once again.
That was the closest he ever came to death.
now……
Once again!
He wanted to run away.
But Wang Qingyun's aura descended like an invisible sky, locking him in firmly.
He felt like he wasn't facing a single person.
Instead, he was facing a monster disguised in human skin, slowly walking towards him...
"Wang Qingyun! You can't kill me!"
Bai Xiang roared fiercely, but his voice betrayed his inner fear, as if he were grasping at the last straw.
"If you kill me, the legacy of the King of Assassins will be severed! And you'll never find the Key Fragment!"
"key?"
Wang Qingyun stopped in his tracks.
A hint of interest finally appeared on his face.
Bai Xiang thought it had worked and quickly said:
"Yes! The keys to the tomb of the first [Assassin King]! A pair! [Shadow] and [Phantom]! [Shadow] disappeared after Shadow Fiend's death, but [Phantom] is with me! As long as we cooperate..."
"oh."
Wang Qingyun nodded, seemingly deep in thought.
Then he smiled.
"No need for that."
Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot.
The next second, he appeared behind Bai Xiang.
The cigarette that was originally in his mouth was now held between his middle and index fingers.
"Pfft..."
A hand burning with crimson flames pierced through Bai Xiang's chest.
Bai Xiang's body froze completely.
He lowered his head with difficulty, looking at the hand that had pierced through his chest, radiating an aura of destruction.
His expression froze in utter astonishment and bewilderment.
"Why...?"
Why?
Wang Qingyun slowly withdrew his hand, his voice carrying a hint of indifferent detachment.
Do you think I... need that thing?
