Chapter 228 The power gap between Tang Long, Tang Gou, and Tang She (Seeking monthly votes)
The roar of the Emperor still echoed in the air above the construction site. The Monarch Serpent's cold, vertical pupils locked onto Mo Zhen instantly, and the magnificent leaf-shaped collar around its neck moved without wind.

A surge of grass-type energy, imbued with natural pressure, gathered around it, and the surrounding air seemed to be tinged with a pale green.

The old craftsman let out a deep, drum-like war roar, his bulging muscles bulging, radiating a suffocating fighting aura!
Faced with this deadly attack from both sides, the two figures rushed forward without hesitation!

Lucario's eyes flashed with blue light, and the activation of [Shave] was instantaneous. It left behind a slowly dissipating afterimage, and its true form was like a blue lightning bolt tearing through space, charging fiercely towards the old construction worker holding the weapon!

Xiao Huolong let out a roar with a trembling Tang-style voice, "Aaaaah—", his massive orange body suddenly sank, and his crimson-gold Burning Technique Battle Qi Veil instantly covered his entire body. Stepping on the explosive energy wave of [Explosive Step], he charged forward with a bang!
"hiss--!"

The Monarch Serpent's arrogant hiss carried a hint of provoked anger. With an elegant flick of its long tail, tens of thousands of sharp blades with edges gleaming with a cold metallic light appeared out of thin air!
【Flying Leaf Storm】!
The violent grass-type energy tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, like countless high-speed spinning chainsaws, carrying the momentum to cut through everything, sweeping over Xiao Huolong who was charging forward!

However, faced with this terrifying storm that could shred steel into dust, Xiao Huolong's massive body, covered in crimson-gold gauze, crashed into it like a stubborn rock in a torrent!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!"

Countless sharp leaves fell on Xiao Huolong, creating a dense, ear-piercing sound like raindrops hitting banana leaves!
The crimson-gold gauze robe rippled violently, and large swaths of leaves were scorched into ashes by the extremely yang and powerful fighting spirit of the Burning Technique, turning into countless green sparks flying in the sky!
However, some leaves still managed to break through the battle qi defense, leaving white marks and even tiny bloody cuts on Xiao Huolong's thick layer of fat and tough scales!
It gritted its teeth, its massive body trembling slightly in the storm, yet it still braved the destructive cutting storm, taking one deep step at a time, stepping on the constantly exploding [Explosive Step] air waves, and resolutely charging towards the main body of the Monarch Serpent!

Each [Explosive Step] burst forth, forcibly tearing open a brief path through the emerald storm, closing the distance to that proud serpentine shadow!

This scene is filled with a tragic sense of power and clumsiness intertwined!

Seeing that this foolish fat dragon had actually managed to withstand the [Leaf Storm] and charged close, a hint of surprise flashed in the cold vertical pupils of the Serpent Lord, which then turned into anger at being approached by an ant.

Its long, powerful tail was instantly covered with a layer of condensed, almost tangible, emerald light, and the air around it seemed to be slightly distorted by this sharp energy.

This is... [Leaf Blade]!
It abandoned its continuous storm-casting, and its tail drew a sharp emerald arc in the air, like a deadly slash from a peerless swordsman, slashing down fiercely at Xiao Huolong with perfect precision!
Sensing the terrifying power of this attack, Xiao Huolong and Tang Shi's large eyes showed no fear, but instead erupted with an unprecedented fighting spirit!
"Old Chi! Watch me!"

A trembling roar burst from its throat, and its massive rump twisted violently, its thick waist unleashing an astonishing twisting force.

Driven by its will, the Burning Battle Qi circulating within its body surged wildly into its tail, and the crimson-gold light instantly enveloped and ignited the entire tail!
[Flame Splits and Devours the Tail of the Wave!]
At this moment, Xiao Huolong's short tail seemed to transform into a blazing divine whip just drawn from the sea of ​​lava, carrying the momentum to burn the eight wastelands, fiercely meeting the jade [leaf blade] that the Monarch Serpent had slashed down!
"boom--!!!"

Emerald green and crimson gold, the sharpness of grass-type and the explosiveness of fire-type, the two tails clashed fiercely together like meteors!
The intense heat and domineering power of the Burning Battle Qi did indeed scorch the emerald green energy covering the Monarch Serpent's tail, and even the edges of several hard leaves were charred and curled.

However, the gap in levels and the difference in talent cannot be easily bridged by a rudimentary Earth-rank combat skill!
After a brief stalemate, Serperior Serpent's immense power at level 52 erupted like a flood bursting its banks, completely unleashed through Leaf Blade!
Its long tail suddenly thumped, and a burst of emerald green light erupted!

"Bang!!!"

With a dull thud, Xiao Huolong let out a shrill cry of "Aaaaah—!" and his massive orange body flew backward like a tattered sack hit by a home run!

Despite having the advantage of elemental advantage, the gap is still too large!
Shudi's Serperior is a meticulously bred ace, with all its attributes trained to the extreme. Its ability, "Contrarian," can greatly boost its Special Attack after using "Leaf Storm."

Such an excellent Pokémon is far superior to the measly creatures in the warehouse that rely on sheer numbers.

Xiao Huolong's all-out effort to unleash the rudimentary Earth-rank form only left a scorch mark on the opponent's tail before being crushed without a doubt.

In the shadowy gaps between the sleepers, Tang Snake's deep blue-green eyes gleamed with a gloating, cold light.

"Hiss hiss hiss... So sweet!"

Seeing Xiao Huolong's pathetic state as he collapsed to the ground, it almost wanted to excitedly pop open a bottle of champagne to celebrate!
Useless! You're truly a hopeless case! You can't even beat a snake, yet you dare to challenge me?

Its extraordinary wisdom instantly assessed Xiao Huolong's current strength.

Tang She was certain that with the Silver Grass Martial Soul now fused with the chubby thousand-year soul ring, he could easily crush this fat, juicy canned yellow peach into a pulp with just his first soul skill, [Silver Entanglement], just like a giant python strangling its prey!

In its eyes, Xiao Huolong had been completely demoted from an object that needed to be guarded against to trash that could be destroyed at will!
Above Mo Zhen's head, Xiao Mengzi's chubby pink face instantly fell, and Dou Dou's eyes filled with dreamy tears, letting out a heart-wrenching pig howl.

【Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! This [Flame Devouring Wave Tail] is so weak and limp. Compared to the powerful [Extreme Eight Collapse] of the past, it's like the difference between a seventy-year-old man and a dark-skinned physical education student! Xiao Huolong, if your Extreme Eight were still here, one Extreme Eight would have already taken down this pretentious green snake!】

It howled and frantically shook Mo Zhen with its telekinetic power, as if it could shake back Xiao Huolong's Extreme Eight Collapse.

Mo Zhen punched Xiao Mengzi away, a knowing look of "I knew it" flashing in his deep eyes.

He stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

Although the [Flame Dividing Wave Tail] technique he taught was based on the framework of a low-level combat skill, Xiao Huolong's comprehension was limited. After a week of arduous training, he only managed to develop the power of a beginner-level Xuan-rank technique, possessing only the form but not the essence.

Dream Theater is ultimately just a trigger to unleash potential, not a magic bullet for Deep Blue.

Although Xiao Huolong is said to have unlimited potential by Elder Chi, compared to some 6V individuals, he still needs to work harder and harder...

Meanwhile, Luca's battle with the old construction craftsman has reached a fever pitch!

Luca's figure was like a ghost, and the frequency of his [Shave] skill was astonishing, leaving several blue afterimages around the old craftsman.

The old construction worker roared repeatedly, swinging the two heavy cement pillars so tightly they were impenetrable, trying to smash the annoying blue dog into a meat patty!
However, Luca's fighting style is completely different!
It abandoned fancy energy projections, and every thrust was incredibly precise. Its fists, elbows, knees, and even heels, covered in deep Armament Haki, became the most lethal weapons!
The fists and feet clashed with the concrete pillar, producing a loud, metallic clang!

What's even more terrifying is that Luca's attacks are like a whirlwind, with tricky angles and a perfect blend of offense and defense.

The limbs covered in domineering aura not only have amazing attack power, but also terrifying defense!
Occasionally, being grazed by a cement pillar only produces a dull thud and leaves a shallow white mark, causing no real damage whatsoever!
The old craftsman, despite his brute strength, was completely outmatched by Luca's speed and domineering combination of offense and defense.

Finally, Luca seized an opening where his opponent swung too hard, his body spinning rapidly like a top, unleashing a spinning elbow strike wrapped in dark, domineering energy—[Lightning Whirlwind Elbow - Black Gold Spin]!
"Thump—Crack!!!"

The iron elbow struck the unsuspecting construction worker's side like a battering ram!
NO—My back hurts!

The old craftsman collapsed to the ground with a thud. He struggled to get up, but the severe injury to his waist rendered him powerless to recover.

Finally, its eyes rolled back, and it collapsed heavily to the ground, completely losing its ability to fight! Tang Snake, who was observing from the shadows, revealed a hint of fear in his eyes.

This damn security dog ​​is far superior to that canned peach, especially its strange, steel-like power that combines offense and defense, making it particularly troublesome.

Moreover, this guy is extremely fast and can change his position several times in an instant. If I make a rash move, I may not be able to defeat him, and I may even expose my true location and be killed in return!
Tang She's eyes darkened; he decided to wait for the right opportunity to strike...

After dealing with the old construction worker, Lucario's cold gaze immediately swept towards Xiao Huolong's direction.

Upon seeing this, its blue pupils suddenly contracted!

The serpent's long, powerful, emerald-green body, like the most resilient giant python, had tightly coiled around a can of yellow peaches!
"Oh...oh oh oh...!"

Xiao Huolong let out a painful whimper, his crimson-gold battle qi robe struggling to hold on against the terrifying strangling power of the Monarch Serpent!
Its plump body was squeezed out of shape, as if it would be squeezed to burst open at any moment, oozing juice like canned yellow peaches!

The Tang snakes watching from the sleepers trembled with excitement, constantly emitting bloodthirsty hisses, eager to see Xiao Huolong explode into a puddle of yellow peach jam.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!!!"

Seeing that Admiral Red Dragon was in imminent danger, the machine spirit within Luca's chest roared in fury! The Mamba Mentality ignited instantly!
It immediately activated [Shave], its entire body like a cannonball, its right elbow, covered in jet-black armor color, aimed directly at the part of the Monarch Serpent that was coiled around Xiao Huolong's torso!

This elbow strike was as fast as thunder and as ruthless as a meteor!
“Pfft——!!!”

Fresh blood mixed with emerald green grass-type energy fluid sprayed out instantly. Serperior was caught off guard and let out a shrill, distorted scream of pain.

Taking advantage of this critical moment, Xiao Huolong struggled and finally escaped from the snake's mouth!

No words are needed; the unspoken understanding of sharing life and death is evident at this moment!
Luca gave Serperior no chance to breathe. He activated [Shave] again and instantly appeared beside Serperior's head, which was slowed down by the pain. His fists, covered in Haki, pounded out like pile drivers!
【Mamba Combo - Ora Ora Ora】!
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
The rain of iron fists, imbued with a dark and domineering aura, slammed into the noble head and neck of the Serpent Lord!
Almost at the same time as Luca launched his attack, Xiao Huolong's massive body once again lowered his stance and mounted his horse, channeling all his remaining Burning Technique fighting spirit into his tail, causing the crimson-gold flames to rise again!

[Flame Splits and Devours the Tail of the Wave!]
It wiggled its plump rear end, and its tail, still burning with embers, lashed out like an angry fire whip, whistling through the air, at the relatively soft belly of the Monarch Serpent exposed by the heavy blow to its head!

Luca and Xiao Huolong's attacks formed a perfect pincer movement!
One attack hits the upper body like a storm, while the other assaults the lower body like a raging inferno!

Besieged on all sides, the Monarch Serpent let out a weak and unwilling cry. Its elegant and slender emerald green body collapsed to the ground as if its spine had been removed, completely losing its ability to fight.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, revealing the scene in the center of the battlefield.

The old craftsman collapsed unconscious in the deep pit, the monarch snake lay limp on the ground, and the chubby one had long since turned into a pool of dark blue water.

Lucario stood tall and proud, though slightly out of breath, while Xiao Huolong, though disheveled, was out of danger.

Mo Zhen remained standing in the same spot, his bright red suit spotless amidst the chaos of the battlefield.

He shrugged and spoke leisurely to the deathly silent construction site and the ashen-faced Emperor Xiu.

"See? I told you so! Winning against you is more than enough."

"No...impossible...this is absolutely impossible!!!"

Xiu Di's body trembled violently, his handsome face twisted like a demon.

"My Pokémon... my ace! Chubby! Serperior! Constructor! How... how could they lose?! Lose to a fat lizard that can only wiggle its butt? Lose to a watchdog that just evolved last week?! Lose to... lose to this underhanded ambush?!"

He suddenly pointed at Mo Zhen, his fingers trembling violently with extreme anger and incomprehensible frustration.

"It's you! It must be you! Mo Zhen! You despicable, shameless, and treacherous villain! What kind of evil magic did you use?! The Alliance will not let you get away with this! Lord Yang De will not let you get away with this! Ahhhhhh—!!!"

Xiu Di's rationality was completely destroyed. The cold elegance he had carefully maintained as the "death photographer" vanished, and he roared in impotent rage like a gambler who had lost everything.

Deep within the shadows of the sleeper pile, Tang Snake's blue-green snake eyes were filled with contempt and violence, his astonishing wisdom frantically flooding the screen with harsh curses.

Useless, utterly useless! Besides posing with that crappy camera, what else can you do?! You can't even take down a useless lizard and a useless dog, what use are you to me?!

Remembering how Xiu Di had taken a picture of his embarrassing moment, both old and new grudges surged up in his heart!

At this moment, Tang She's killing intent was made up!
Originally, it planned to wait for Xiu Di and Mo Zhen to fight each other and then reap the benefits, but Xiu Di was too useless. So it decided to use him today to test its new soul skill and wash away the humiliation of the past!

Once the murderous intent arose, Tang She moved with lightning speed!

Taking advantage of the moment when the Emperor was caught off guard and his mind collapsed, several strange vines covered with pale blue, semi-transparent suckers, like the tentacles of the dead reaching out from the deepest abyss, broke through the rubble without warning and wrapped around the Emperor's feet, waist, and neck with lightning speed!

Just as the ominous, dark blue vines were about to touch the cultivator's body—

"Buzz!"

The space around Emperor Xiu distorted violently, like ripples on water!
The next instant, under everyone's astonished gaze, Xiu Di's figure vanished into thin air as if erased by an eraser!
