Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

"what?"

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Hua was stunned. He then quickly retreated, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at the sight before him.

The blood-red blade in Jiang Hua's hand had completely shattered into countless fragments, while the black monster's arm only had a thin scratch, and the skin on Jiang Hua's arm remained completely unchanged.

"What's going on?!"

Looking at the fine scratches on his arm, Jiang Hua couldn't help but feel puzzled. He didn't know how his Blood Blade could be destroyed so easily by this monster. What kind of monster was it, and how could it have such terrifying strength?

"Hehehe! You'd better hand it over obediently! Although your strength is not bad, it is far inferior to monsters like us."

Seeing that the blood blade in Jiang Hua's hand had been destroyed, the monster grinned maliciously at Jiang Hua and said that hundreds of small balls of spiritual energy had appeared in his hand.

These small orbs of spiritual energy quickly flew into the sky, then rapidly grew larger and larger, transforming into a dark cloud that blotted out the sun, completely enveloping Jiang Hua's head.

"Hmph! You're so strong, do you think you'd be afraid of me?"

Looking at the dark cloud, Jiang Hua's expression tightened slightly. He then let out a cold shout, and the blood blade in his hand suddenly emitted a burst of blood light. This burst of blood light flew out of Jiang Hua's hand and instantly transformed into a huge pillar of light, which blasted towards the black cloud.

Bang bang bang!

The two beams of light collided violently, producing a loud explosion, while the black clouds quickly dispersed in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Hua's view was completely shrouded in dark clouds, making it impossible to see anything clearly. He could only vaguely see the black mist churning endlessly, displaying a terrifying oppressive force.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua immediately realized the extraordinary nature of the black mist, and his expression changed slightly.

However, Jiang Hua quickly mobilized his mental energy, and under the urging of his mental energy, a large amount of information immediately flooded his mind.

Jiang Hua's mental energy quickly surged towards this information, and then he saw the black mist in front of him suddenly begin to change.

The originally black mist suddenly began to distort, and then a cloud of black smoke gradually condensed in Jiang Hua's vision.

Soon, after the black smoke solidified, a large black hand suddenly appeared in the black mist.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Hua felt a figure suddenly appear in front of him; a man dressed in a black robe appeared before Jiang Hua.

"Who is this?!"

Upon seeing the black-clad man who had suddenly appeared before him, Jiang Hua couldn't help but frown slightly.

This person had a very peculiar appearance, with many strange patterns on his face. He was covered by a thick black cloak that concealed his entire face, leaving only his eyes and two nostrils exposed.

His body, however, was no different from that of an ordinary human. Except for one foot, his entire body was covered in a cloak, making him look like a black man.

However, upon seeing the appearance of this man in black robes, Jiang Hua couldn't help but narrow his gaze slightly, because he discovered that the man in black robes was emanating an extremely oppressive pressure that even he felt.

This pressure made Jiang Hua feel her heartbeat suddenly quicken, and she even wondered if her breathing was also accelerating.

"Hehe, not bad! As expected of the prey I chose!"

The man in black robes stood before Jiang Hua, and seeing the shocked expression on Jiang Hua's face, he couldn't help but let out a sarcastic voice, his tone full of mockery.

"Hmph, so you're the leader here?"

Upon hearing this man's words, Jiang Hua's face immediately darkened. Looking at the black-robed figure opposite him, he asked in an icy tone, "Is this the territory of the Demon Realm? Where is your leader? I want to see him!"

"Meet our leader? Ha! You're not worthy!"

Upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, the man in black robes burst into wild laughter. He then reached out and scratched himself a few times, and soon another black robe appeared on his body.

He then removed his hood, revealing an extremely ugly face. However, despite its ugliness, the face was also remarkably handsome, with every muscle on its face perfectly proportioned.

It looks extremely robust, and the features of its face are very delicate, even its mouth, which doesn't look like a disgusting big mouth at all.

On the contrary, this guy's every move gives people an extremely cool feeling.

Upon seeing the face before him, Jiang Hua was momentarily stunned. "However, with such looks and such an aura, he truly does resemble a handsome man. What a pity! He's just too ugly. I hate people like him the most."

Upon seeing the face before him, Jiang Hua shook his head slightly.

"What did you say! My appearance is ugly? You dare to say my appearance is ugly?" Upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, the man in black robes couldn't help but fly into a rage. He angrily pointed at Jiang Hua, roaring and shouting. In an instant, the surrounding dark clouds began to churn, and the whole world seemed to turn dark.

"Heh, you can't even handle this? Didn't you say you were going to kill me to silence me? Then go ahead and do it!"

Seeing that the man in black robes had been provoked into such a state by Jiang Hua's few words, Jiang Hua couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. This was exactly what he wanted to do; otherwise, the man in black robes would never have taken the bait.

As expected, upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, the man in black robes flew into a rage. His figure flashed suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to Jiang Hua's side, brandishing the jet-black giant sword in his hand, and slashed down at Jiang Hua.

"Hmph! If you want to kill me, you'll have to see if you have the ability first!" Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua immediately snorted coldly. Then, a dazzling golden light suddenly emanated from his body, and the dragon soul phantom behind him also lit up with a dazzling golden light.

"Dragon Soul, devour him!"

Seeing the giant sword hurtling towards him, a wicked smile appeared on Jiang Hua's lips. Then, a low shout entered his ears, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from his left fist.

"Yes! Master!"

As Jiang Hua gave the order, the Dragon Soul's voice immediately resounded in Jiang Hua's mind. Then, Jiang Hua's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

When Jiang Hua reappeared, he was already behind the man in black robes. Then, Jiang Hua suddenly raised his arms, and suddenly, on his arms...

Countless bolts of lightning suddenly appeared, and dazzling flashes of lightning shimmered on his arms.

The lightning bolts flickered continuously on Jiang Hua's arms, accompanied by a series of thunderous explosions. Then, the countless bolts of lightning actually merged directly into Jiang Hua's arms.

It formed a huge thunderous image, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, giving people a sense of extreme terror.

"Die!"

"Hmph, you ignorant human brat, how dare you challenge my authority?! You're courting death!"

Upon seeing Jiang Hua appear behind him, a look of surprise flashed in the black-robed man's eyes, followed by a ferocious expression on his face.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Jiang Hua was filled with intense resentment and hatred.

Immediately afterwards, disregarding his own appearance, he swung his hand and brought down the giant sword, intending to kill Jiang Hua.

"court death!"

Jiang Hua's eyes turned cold, and he immediately let out a cold laugh. Then, Jiang Hua's figure flashed again and disappeared from the spot.

Upon seeing this, the black-robed man's pupils suddenly contracted, but his reaction was extremely fast, just as Jiang Hua appeared behind him.

He had actually sensed Jiang Hua's location, and then, with his greatsword, he slashed down behind him again.

"Humph! It's too much!"

Seeing that the man in black robes still wanted to attack him, Jiang Hua sneered. Then, his right fist suddenly slammed out, and in that instant, countless bolts of lightning condensed on Jiang Hua's fists once again.

In that instant, the lightning on Jiang Hua's fists condensed into a full thirty-six lightning snakes, which instantly coalesced into a lightning ball.

"Thor's Fist!"

At that moment, Jiang Hua suddenly roared and threw a punch, which sent the lightning ball containing terrifying energy crashing into the black-robed man's giant sword.

"Boom!"

"puff!"

A muffled thud and a deafening, violent collision suddenly rang out, followed by a powerful shockwave that spread out from the two points of impact.

The entire space trembled violently, and then, under the influence of this shockwave, the surrounding dark clouds collapsed completely at that moment.

The man in black robes was instantly blasted away by the shockwave, flying hundreds of meters backward and sliding for dozens of meters before finally coming to a stop. (End of Chapter)
