Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from the Black Myth

Chapter 102 End and Disaster

Lu Mingfei's reaction was as fast as lightning, and his eyes flashed with determination that should not be underestimated. A swift blow, accompanied by a whistling sound of tearing the air, only touched the illusory afterimage of Kungunir, as if the legendary gun that must hit the target even left with an elusive arrogance. Kungunir's light was fleeting, like a meteor across the night sky, and finally disappeared without a trace, leaving only the stars in the sky quietly weaving their eternal story on the curtain of night.

"I let you run away." Lu Mingfei's tone did not contain too much regret, only a barely perceptible sneer. He knew very well that the one who dared to spy on him in the dark and tried to challenge him had chosen to flee because of fear of his strength, so this retreat was a silent recognition of his strength.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself that the mastermind behind the scenes had obviously used the "alchemical properties" contained in the golden spear in his hand, Kungunir, a magical ability that could cross the boundaries of space, to escape under his nose. But escape was only temporary after all.

Lu Mingfei had already made up his mind. He believed that as long as the mysterious being dared to appear in front of him again, he would be able to pull it out of the high-dimensional space where it was hiding due to the "must-hit" trait. By then, a few powerful blows would be enough to let the other party know the consequences of provoking him. Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was the confidence in strength and the contempt for the unknown.

Lu Mingfei drew his attention back to the present after withdrawing his thoughts from the fleeing enemy. He was surprised to find that the huge Norton dragon body had completely disappeared, and in its place was Ronald Tang, the ordinary man who had once been the Dragon King Norton but was now sleeping peacefully in the world.

This scene reminded Lu Mingfei of another character with a similar fate - Constantine, the tragic character who forgot his identity as the Dragon King after waking up and only remembered that he had a brother who had been lost for many years.

Thinking of Constantine, Lu Mingfei felt a complex emotion in his heart.

He speculated that Old Tang, also known as Ronald Tang, might have also experienced a similar transformation. This speculation, like a ray of warm sunshine, penetrated the haze in his heart and gave him a rare comfort.

After all, if Old Tang could really forget the heaviness and bloodiness of the past like Constantine did and start over as an ordinary person, that might be the best ending for him.

With this in mind, Lu Mingfei gently waved his arms, and an invisible force lifted up Old Tang's body, making him float in the air. At the same time, he took out the Shangqing treasure gourd that was emitting a faint glow from his waist. This was one of his treasures, which had the magical ability to absorb the essence of all things.

As he performed the art of absorbing, the mouth of the Shangqing Treasure Gourd slowly opened, like a greedy big mouth, and began to devour the golden flame essence transformed by Norton's authority.

Compared to Constantine's spirit, Norton's flame, as the side of the twins of the Bronze and Fire Kings that controls "power", appears dimmer. His authority is weaker than Constantine's. After Lu Mingfei absorbs it, it is estimated that his own strength will not increase much, it is just a simple supplement.

At this moment, as the Shangqing Treasure Gourd swallowed it, Norton's golden flame essence gradually dissipated, turning into a pure energy that merged into the gourd. At the same time, the raging sea of ​​fire that swept across the entire city of Chicago like the end of the world finally began to slowly dissipate after a long and raging dance, like a grand fireworks show coming to an end. However, when the flames gradually receded, what was exposed was the hellish scene after the flames burned:
Buildings were reduced to ashes, leaving only charred skeletons; streets were twisted and deformed by the fire, like scars on the earth; the air was filled with a pungent smell of smoke and burnt air, making it difficult to breathe. This scene was like the cruelest side of nature being ruthlessly revealed and displayed to the world.

After the death of the Dragon King Norton, it was Odin who maintained the activation of the Alchemical Matrix, the furnace of heaven and earth. Now that Odin himself has fled, there is naturally no need to maintain the Alchemical Matrix.

Looking back at modern human history, such disasters caused by dragons also exist: the Wanggongchang explosion in 1626, that sudden disaster shocked the capital and remains an unsolved mystery to this day; the Tunguska explosion in 1908 turned the vast Siberian forest into ruins, its power was so great that it was staggering.

This time, the actions of Dragon King Norton once again caused great harm to the world, becoming the third major disaster in modern human history.

Compared with the previous two disasters, this one is undoubtedly more conspicuous and more horrifying.

The raging flames, the collapsing buildings, and the people's screams of fear, these scenes seem to be frozen in the scroll of history, becoming memories that can never be erased.

However, it is gratifying that due to the timely response of the US government before the disaster and the advance evacuation of Chicago citizens, the number of casualties in this disaster was kept at an astonishingly low level.

Now, when the flames in Chicago have completely dissipated and the electromagnetic storm that interfered with electronic equipment within dozens of miles has stopped erupting, the eyes of people all over the world have begun to focus on this country in North America and the once prosperous but now destroyed city of Chicago that suffered a fatal disaster.

Most people believe that the cause of this serious disaster was the intercontinental missiles launched by the two nuclear-armed countries that are hostile to the United States. Therefore, the entire global society is now in panic. Supermarkets in many countries and regions have been sold out, and people are scrambling to prepare as much as possible to deal with the impending nuclear war.

Now, as the flames of Chicago City completely dissipated into the sky as if swallowed by the torrent of time, the electromagnetic storm that once interfered with electronic equipment within a radius of dozens of miles and caused countless chaos and panic finally subsided, as if nature had vented its anger and finally restored its former tranquility. However, this tranquility did not bring long-lost peace of mind, but instead made the eyes of the world focus more closely on this country in North America and the once glorious but now devastated and almost completely destroyed city of Chicago in this country.

In the face of this unprecedented disaster, the fragility and helplessness of humankind were fully exposed. Most people were filled with a deep fear, believing that the culprit of this serious disaster was the intercontinental missiles launched by the two nuclear-armed countries that had long been hostile to the United States.
