Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

As the card was swiped, the phantom of Devimon appeared behind Nine-Tailed Beast.

Immediately afterwards, the Nine-Tailed Beast's fur seemed to be tinged with a dark color, and the ghostly blue flames that burned in its eyes were no longer replaced by a deep, dark purple light.

It opened its mouth, and a highly condensed black energy ball quickly took shape inside.

"Dark Wave!"

With a low growl from the Nine-Tailed Beast, the ball of energy exploded, transforming into a vast array of dark, bat-like flying creatures that swept towards the Emperor Serpent Beast with piercing screams!

This attack, in terms of both scale and energy, far surpasses the previous Ghostfire Orb and Foxfire Dragon attacks.

The Emperor Serpent Beast's crimson vertical pupils finally lost their contempt.

It could clearly sense that this blow posed a real threat to it!

It must be taken seriously.

The King Serpent Beast held the treasure jar, which it had coiled around its tail, upright in front of it, and its enormous tail began to lash wildly at an incredible speed.

Under its swing, the treasure jar transformed into an impenetrable, high-speed rotating circular shield of light, firmly protecting its enormous body behind it.

The next second, countless dark bats crashed violently into the rapidly spinning light shield!

"Fuck-"

The ear-piercing scraping sound echoed throughout the empty platform.

Countless shrieking dark bats crashed one after another into the rapidly spinning circular light shield constructed of precious jars, exploding into bursts of deep purple energy sparks.

Ruki clenched her fists tightly, her palms sweating, her eyes fixed on the center of the battle, her heart pounding in her throat.

We must succeed!

The Nine-Tailed Beast's fur trembled slightly, and dark purple light continuously emanated from its body, maintaining its offensive.

The stalemate continues.

ten seconds.

Fifteen seconds.

Suddenly, the phantom of the female demon beast behind the Nine-Tailed Beast flickered and became blurry.

Immediately afterwards, the ferocious dark bats suddenly slowed their attack.

The next second, all the dark bats turned into specks of dark light and dissipated into the air.

Deprived of its continued energy supply, the female monster's phantom completely dissipated.

"Huh...huh..."

The Nine-Tailed Beast staggered, nearly losing its footing, and gasped for breath. Its fur lost its luster, and the dark purple light in its pupils faded completely, returning to its original ghostly blue, though it appeared unusually dim.

That last attack had taken a huge toll on it, almost draining it of all its power. It had no choice but to cut off its energy supply because it couldn't sustain it any longer.

The Emperor Serpent Beast's hoarse voice echoed through the platform: "Kids, your methods are truly endless, but this is where it ends!"

It no longer gave Ruki and the Nine-Tailed Beast any chance to catch their breath.

With a sudden flick of its thick snake tail, the precious halberd broke free from its restraints and transformed into a streak of cold light that tore through the air, piercing straight toward the exhausted nine-tailed beast!

The Nine-Tailed Beast's body is now completely unresponsive, unable to even perform the simplest dodge maneuver.

Seeing this, Ruki's fingers flew across the card pack as she selected cards.

But a voice rang out first: "Gatling guns!"

"Dada dada dada dada—!"

A dense barrage of bullets arrived late but arrived early, accurately blasting Baohao's side!

"Jingle bells!"

A series of crisp, ear-piercing metallic clanging sounds erupted.

Under the onslaught of the ferocious bullets, Baohao was forced off course, grazing past the Nine-Tailed Beast and crashing into the wall behind it.

"Boom!"

The wall exploded, and rubble flew everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, a figure leaped out of the tunnel entrance and landed steadily in front of the Nine-Tailed Beast, the muzzles of the ferocious Vulcan cannons on its arms still emitting wisps of blue smoke.

This is the mature form of Terriermon—Gargomon.

Garugmon held Nine-Tailed Beast firmly behind him, its eyes warily fixed on Orochimon ahead.

"Nine-Tailed Beast, are you alright?" Gargomon asked in a deep voice.

Nine-Tailed Beast caught its breath, its voice weak: "I'm alright, but be careful. This guy... his Ultimate form is really tough to deal with."

Gargoyle understood this without Kurama needing to remind him.

Immediately afterwards, a figure staggered over.

It's Jianliang.

He looked utterly disheveled, his body drenched in sweat, his hands supporting his knees as he gasped for breath, his face as pale as paper.

His legs trembled uncontrollably, as if he might collapse to the ground at any moment.

He had run all the way from the previous subway station to here, which had almost exhausted all his strength.

Kenryo looked up and saw that Ruki and the Nine-Tailed Beast were both unharmed. He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and stammered, "Thank goodness... at least... we made it in time..."

Chapter 104: Flying Tiger Beast Armor Form

Looking at Kenryo's disheveled appearance, which was almost exhausting, Ryuki couldn't help but frown.

"How did you get into this state?"

Jianliang had no strength to answer Liuji. He just supported himself on his knees, desperately trying to regulate his disordered breathing. His chest heaved violently, and hoarse gasps came from his throat.

Seeing that Jianliang ignored her, Liuji didn't ask any more questions.

With a formidable enemy at hand, she had no time to dwell on such trivial matters.

The crimson vertical eyes of the Royal Serpent Beast first swept over Gargomon, which was blocking the Nine-Tailed Beast, and then landed on Kenryo, who was panting heavily behind it.

The Serpent Beast recognized them.

Just now at another platform, I used that orange shield to block the guy who attacked me.

The royal serpent beast hissed from its throat, seemingly sneering: "So it's you guys. Perfect, I'll take care of you all too."

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant maw of the royal serpent beast opened, and it spat out another precious halberd.

With a nimble flick of its thick snake tail, it grasped the treasure in its "hand" and then, carrying a terrifying aura, swung it at Garugmon!

"Jianliang!"

With its leg muscles bulging, Garugon let out a roar and leaped up to meet the gleaming, cold-looking halberd.

Although Jianliang was very tired at the moment, upon hearing Gargomon's shout, he immediately suppressed the feeling of exhaustion in his body, quickly pulled out a card from his card pack, and swiped it on the Arc Machine with trembling hands!

"Card swap! Attack component A!"

Gargomon felt a surge of pure power flow into his arms, and the already ferocious and massive Vulcan cannons seemed to be filled with explosive energy.

"Dada Uppercut!"

Gargoyle gathered all its power in its right arm and unleashed a powerful punch from below!

The mechanical iron fist, carrying an indomitable momentum, precisely met the treasure jar that the Royal Serpent Beast was smashing down!

"Clang—!"

A deafening metallic explosion resounded throughout the entire subway station!

At the point of impact between the fist and the spear, a visible white shockwave exploded outwards, spreading wildly in all directions.

The light tubes on the platform ceiling shattered one after another under the impact, and countless shards of glass fell down with a clatter.

Gargoyle's iron fist and Hohoku's fist clashed fiercely, locked in a frenzied struggle.

The dazzling sparks burst forth like fireworks, and the sharp, ear-piercing friction sound made one's teeth ache terribly.

The stalemate lasted for less than two seconds.

"Boom!"

An even more violent surge of energy exploded at the point of impact!

Both Gargomon and Orochimon were simultaneously subjected to this enormous recoil force.

The enormous body of the royal serpent beast twisted a few times before stabilizing itself.

Gargomon tumbled several times in the air before landing heavily on the platform, its feet carving deep furrows in the ground to dissipate the immense force it had been carrying.

Gargomon shook its slightly numb arm, looked solemnly at the OgreZigmon opposite it, and said in a deep voice, "It's really powerful... I used my special move and even amplified my attack power, but it only managed to fight to a draw with a casual attack from it."

Ogremon said sarcastically to Gargomon, "So what if it evolved? All flashy and fancy, not as interesting as that shield from before."

It was clearly still thinking about the Shield of Courage that the Terrier had just used.

Just then, a clear, youthful voice came from the direction of the station stairs: "Ryuki! Kenryo! Shiraha-nii and I have come to support you!"

Qi Ren's voice was full of energy and enthusiasm.

Immediately afterwards, several figures ran down the stairs.

It was Shiraha, Keito, Guilmon, and behind them Juri, Hiro, and Kenta.

Upon hearing the voice and seeing the familiar figure, Ruki and Kenryo almost simultaneously showed joy on their faces.

Great! Bai Yu is here!

The same thought popped into their minds simultaneously.

As for the Enlightened One and Guilmon...

Yes, they're here too. That's great.

If Qi Ren could hear their inner thoughts right now, the little crybaby would probably burst into tears on the spot.

He was clearly the first to speak up. He may not be as strong as Bai Yu, but he and Guilmon aren't just sitting around doing nothing. They're capable of fighting too, you know.

On the other side, the three of them, Juri, Hirokazu, and Kenta, who were witnessing this scene for the first time, were completely stunned by what they saw.

The entire subway platform was a mess, with broken light tubes scattered all over the ceiling and huge cracks and gaps covering the floor. The air was filled with a pungent smell of gunpowder.

The enormous creature that loomed on the tracks brought them an unprecedented visual shock and psychological pressure.

"That...that's a Digimon too?" Bohe's voice trembled as he pointed at Ogremon and stammered.

"This is... a battle between Digimon?" Kenta looked completely dazed, his legs were weak, and he almost couldn't stand up.

Shuli was so frightened that she couldn't utter a single word. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her face turned as white as a sheet of paper.

Bai Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at the Imperial Serpent Beast; it was the second Divine General.

In Bai Yu's mind, the system clearly listed the information about the Royal Serpent Beast: [Royal Serpent Beast: Ultimate Level, Holy Beast Type, Virus Species; Strength Rating: B-]

B- rank? It's definitely weaker than the Flying Tiger Beast.

As members of the Twelve Divine Generals, their strengths vary, and the Imperial Serpent Beast is clearly among the weaker ones.

Just as Bai Yu was about to step forward, Qi Ren suddenly spoke up: "Brother Bai Yu, let Guilmon and I go first."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu paused for a moment and looked at him with some surprise: "The opponent is a Perfect level, you and Guilmon can't beat it."

“I know!” Qi Ren nodded heavily, his gaze fixed on the terrifying Royal Serpent Beast on the track.

"But Guilmon and I want to give it a try, even if it's just as a form of training!"

"It's not too late for you to make your move when we're really at our limit!"

Having experienced so many battles, Qi Ren now yearns to become stronger.

With Bai Yu as his most reliable support, there was no danger to his life. This was a once-in-a-lifetime training opportunity, and Qi Ren naturally didn't want to miss it.

Bai Yu looked at the serious expression on Qi Ren's face, remained silent for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"That's fine."

Since Qi Ren has this ambition, he has no reason not to grant it.
