I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"We can't let them get close to Miss Meng! Stop them!"

The humans also understood the importance of Meng Qingjiao, who could deal with the giant cockroach monster, and they all stood in front of her.

However, under the relentless onslaught of the cockroach monsters, many inevitably broke through the defenses and rushed towards Meng Qingjiao, including several giant cockroach monsters over five meters long.

Seeing this, Li Chengxuan, who was not far away, immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. He flashed and rushed towards Meng Qingjiao.

In the distance, Meng Boshang noticed the situation and wanted to rush over to support his daughter, but before the thought could even form, Jiao Hongyuan appeared in front of him, his gloomy face full of malice.

"You just stay here and watch your daughter die!"

Chen Fuguang was also being held back by several cockroach monsters at the same time, struggling to cope and unable to come to his aid.

The girl, whose expression remained aloof, found herself in a desperate situation, isolated and helpless.

"Die! I'll chop your corpse into countless pieces so Xue Jing can have a good look!"

Li Chengxuan screamed fervently in his heart as he relentlessly approached Meng Qingjiao.

His hands flashed with sharp light as he slashed through the bandages covering his arms, revealing what lay beneath.

Those were hands that gleamed with the color of an alloy... no, they were, in fact, alloy.

Its membrane has been replaced with a special xenograft.

"Die!"

A hand, harder and sharper than a real blade, stabbed towards Meng Qingjiao.

Dozens of cockroach monsters also rushed towards the girl at the same time, forming an inescapable encirclement.

"Senior Sister Meng!"

Chen Fuguang was extremely anxious, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

At that moment, a deep, rumbling thunder sounded in the sky.

"call out--!!"

A gigantic figure descended rapidly like a meteorite, streaking across the sky with sparks, lightning, black flames, colorful flames, and white lightning—like a pay-to-win player in an online game, accompanied by countless special effects.

To everyone's astonishment, the enormous figure crashed heavily to the ground.

"boom--!!!!"

The cement ground shattered, and countless cockroach monsters, crowds, and various fragments of stone and dust transformed into a ring-shaped shockwave that radiated outwards in all directions.

In just a moment, all the cockroach monsters that rushed towards Meng Qingjiao were pulverized.

Meng Qingjiao herself was thrown into the air by the shockwave while completely bewildered. The sand and gravel blinded her, causing her to close her eyes involuntarily.

A jet-black figure engulfed in black flames, pulling along a colorful spiral of fire, rapidly approached her.

Meng Qingjiao, who was in mid-air with her eyes closed, suddenly felt someone gently embrace her, stopping her body from being thrown away by the shockwave... in a princess carry.

"..." She gently opened her eyes and looked up.

What came into view was a pitch-black figure.

She blinked, and for some reason, even though she couldn't see the person's face clearly, he looked strangely familiar...

The sudden scene shocked everyone, including Jiao Hongyuan, Meng Boshang, Chen Fuguang... even the cockroach monsters were a little stunned.

The battlefield, which had been like a meat grinder, was now frozen in a silent stillness.

Everyone watched as the dark figure carrying Meng Qingjiao nimbly moved back onto the 'meteorite'...

No, that's not a meteorite, it's—a dragon!

"That's... a dragon seed!?"

"This person rode down a dragon!?"

"Who exactly is he? Is he here to help us? Was he hired by the government?"

"Wait, I think I know who he is..."

"Didn't you see a news report from Maple City a while ago? The one about the Black Dragon Knight!"

"It must be him! It must be him. According to the people of Maple City, he is the hero who protects the city's peace!"

"Isn't that just an urban legend?"

"He's right in front of us... This isn't a legend, it's a fact!"

Jiao Hongyuan frowned, looking at the figure standing on the dragon's head, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

Under the claws of the Sakura Dragon, Li Chengxuan was trampled underfoot, vomiting several mouthfuls of blood, his body almost flattened.

He couldn't speak, he just stared blankly at his surroundings, completely unaware of what was happening.

"What... happened?"

Xue Jing, controlling the Sakura Dragon, felt a prickly sensation under his feet, as if he were stepping on something. So he exerted a little force and crushed the unknown thing under his feet.

He ignored the matter, instead looking down at Meng Qingjiao in his arms, and softly asked:

"Sister, are you okay?"

"..." Upon hearing the familiar voice, Meng Qingjiao paused for a moment before nodding.

Sure enough, it was my junior brother...

After a long and fierce battle, she had some wounds on her body. Seeing this, Xue Jing placed her on Yinglong's head.

Then, with a thought, he caused a small root tendril to grow from the top of Cherry Blossom Dragon's head and wrap around Meng Qingjiao's wrist.

Life force surged into her body through the roots, and soon Meng Qingjiao found that her wounds were healing rapidly, and she was completely healed in no time.

"Senior sister, you take a rest for a bit, leave the rest to me."

Xue Jing said softly.

"..." Meng Qingjiao remained silent, nodded, walked to his side, and reached out to pat his head.

This action startled Meng Boshang and Chen Fuguang, who immediately realized the identity of this suddenly appearing chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

They didn't make a sound or greet each other. After thinking for a moment, Chen Fuguang said loudly:

"This is the government's ace. He was delayed elsewhere and has only just arrived. Now that he's here, we're guaranteed to win. Let's give it our all and wipe out all the cockroach monsters!"

His words confirmed Xue Jing's allied status for some of the still somewhat bewildered people present, and everyone's spirits immediately lifted.

Their overwhelming entrance left them with no room for doubt about this person's strength. With such fierce and powerful allied support, their morale, which had been gradually dampened by the increasing number of cockroach monsters they killed, suddenly soared.

"Go! Kill all the cockroach monsters!"

Shouts of battle rang out incessantly, and the scene descended into chaos once again.

Upon seeing this, Xue Jing snapped his fingers.

The Sakura Dragon beneath their feet suddenly changed, its entire body sprouting hundreds of thick roots that reached out towards the cockroach monsters on the battlefield.

One root tied one cockroach to another, and soon hundreds of cockroach monsters were bound together. Xue Jing raised his right hand and clenched his fist tightly.

"Puff, puff, puff -"

Hundreds of cockroach monsters were instantly crushed by the roots, and countless dark green slimes spilled out like a torrential rain, soaking the surrounding crowd.

This disgusting scene, however, symbolized a terrifying combat power capable of influencing the course of the battle, greatly invigorating everyone and eliciting cheers.

"So powerful! As expected of our ace, the Black Dragon Knight!"

"Long live the Dark Dragon Knight!"

"The Dark Dragon Rider is invincible!"

"Ace, Ace!"

"..." Hearing the embarrassing nicknames, Xue Jing's lips twitched, hidden inside his helmet.

He shook his head and looked at the green vortex of light on the ground not far away, from which cockroach monsters kept emerging. In a flash, he arrived at the edge of the vortex.

He drew black energy from the surrounding shadows, transforming it into a giant black hand, which he then scooped into the vortex.

Suddenly, a Rubik's Cube emitting a green glow was pulled out from it.

Taking the Rubik's Cube from Yingyan's palm, Xue Jing casually spun it a few times. The green light vortex on the ground immediately shrank and closed, and no more cockroaches emerged.

[Divine matter detected; absorbing divinity...]

"GOD-1779·Green Cube..."

Xue Jing put it inside his clothes and kept it close to his body.

His gaze then turned to Jiao Hongyuan and Meng Boshang, who were locked in a fierce battle in the distance.

The man's words from earlier echoed in my mind.

Jiao Hongyuan's breakthrough was incomplete; he had something placed two inches above his coccyx, which could kill him if hit.

"That's a bit condescending. It's like I can't kill him unless I hit his weak point."

Xue Jing shook his head.

He had no intention of doing what that man said, and he even wanted to avoid Jiao Hongyuan's so-called weakness.

Who knows what kind of weird thing will be triggered if I actually hit it? You can't trust what the enemy says.

With a single step, pulling on the colorful spiral tail flames, Xue Jing instantly closed in on Jiao Hongyuan and Meng Boshang.

Seeing this, Meng Boshang's eyes lit up. He immediately disregarded everything and risked taking several blows from the Golden Wind White Rainbow Sword, leaving countless deep gashes on his body, before embracing Jiao Hongyuan.

Although Jiao Hongyuan's limit-breaking Golden Wind Force could have severed this simple restraint in less than a second, it still took some time.

In that short time, Xue Jing could cross a hundred meters and get to him.

He stretched out his right arm, black flames burning across his entire arm, with silvery-white dragon lightning feathers wrapped around it.

The True Dragon of Extreme Strength was born from his body, splitting into two, and simultaneously unleashing the Star-Shaking Fire and the Whirlwind Thunder.

Yan Liancai's rapid burst of power, combined with his ultimate move, Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron, along with Shadow Flame and Dragon Thunder, transformed his entire arm into an indestructible and terrifying weapon.

Xue Jing aimed his elbow at Jiao Hongyuan's neck.

"Flame-Splashed Rainbow - Thunderous Plow Blade!"
