Chapter 549: Section 336: Triple Whip
Even as an enemy, Teng Donglang couldn’t help but admire the dragon-man youth as he charged towards him: “Good decisiveness.”
Once the dragon-man youth realized the truth, he immediately changed his tactics, completely and resolutely.
His eyes were ablaze with the will to battle, still sparkling with the light of thought.
It wasn’t long before the youth fully felt that his current enemy was entirely different from Xiong Ju.
Xiong Ju was a fierce general, dominated by instinct, while Teng Donglang was clear-headed, using wisdom to fight.
Such an enemy was far more difficult to deal with than Xiong Ju. And on top of that, he was at the Golden Level, which was an added advantage.
After changing his tactics, the dragon-man youth burst forth at full power, showing no mercy.
Because he simply had no leeway to show mercy.
Facing such a formidable adversary, he had to give it his all. To hold back would be the height of foolishness!
“He’s charging!” exclaimed Ban Langen in the VIP Observation Room, unable to sit still.
He saw the scene of the dragon-man youth’s sprint and couldn’t help but recall the time he was knocked out by his punch.
Although he knew that Gang Leader Teng Donglang was on a different level than he was, he still subconsciously worried.
Surprise cheers erupted continuously in the dueling field at Snowbird Port.
The situation quickly took a sharp turn, and the combatants were about to clash at close quarters.
The duel suddenly became thrilling!
Hiss.
With a soft sound, the ground broke open, and an ice vine shot towards the dragon-man youth’s ankle.
Teng Donglang had previously deliberately mentioned that his Combat Skill “Base” had expanded to 50 meters.
That was just a smoke bomb.
The truth was, it had reached 60 meters!
Bu Quan exclaimed in shock.
The dragon-man youth, still at least 60 meters away from Teng Donglang, was already faced with ice vines ambushing from underground.
Boom.
The dragon-man youth used a combat skill called Machine Gun Bullet Fist to dodge away.
He sneered in his heart, having been psychologically prepared for this.
As soon as he realized that Teng Donglang was a clever enemy adept at using tactics, he understood how unreliable the latter’s words were.
The dragon-man youth continued to sprint.
One after another, ice vines burst forth from the soil like a set of long spears.
The dragon-man youth did not dodge or avoid, but charged straight through them.
The ice vines shattered bit by bit.
The dragon-man youth’s momentum was amazing, utterly unstoppable!
But the ice vines were not without effect; they neutralized the youth’s momentum, and the cold air wound around his body, inevitably slowing him down.
Teng Donglang stood in place, unmoving.
Despite the dragon-man youth’s fierceness, his expression remained calm.
But he changed the way he controlled the ice vines.
The ice vines no longer stabbed directly but twisted and lashed around instead.
Flexibility could overcome strength.
For the dragon-man youth, the threat of the ice vines increased.
“If he loses speed, the squad leader will be trapped by the ice vines,” Sanda warned.
The members of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps were very anxious.
The power of each ice vine was comparable to an attack from a Silver Level fighter. Facing it would be hopeless for any of them, resulting in certain death on the spot.
Of course, that didn’t include Zong Ge.
Zong Ge was not present at the observation once again.
The ships of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps needed someone reliable to hold the fort.
The dragon-man youth also made his countermove.
He no longer charged blindly but primarily dodged instead.
Fighting with all his might, his speed during the dodges was considerable. While evading, he kept getting closer to Teng Donglang.
Teng Donglang suddenly revealed a hint of a smile.
Swish swish swish.
A multitude of ice vines suddenly shot out from the ground, trapping the dragon-man youth who had just dodged and reached that spot!
Teng Donglang had secretly laid a large number of ice vine traps, and by using the other vines to force the dragon-man youth to move, he successfully drove him into the trap.
Hundreds of ice vines surged from all directions to attack the dragon-man youth.
In a critical moment, the dragon-man youth deployed the Machine Gun Bullet Fist Combat Skill.
Bang bang bang…
A series of explosions.
The ice vines shattered into countless fragments under his fists.
Ice shards scattered about.
This combat skill had proven its prowess in the battle against Xiong Ju and once again showed good effect.
The dragon-man youth switched to offense as his defense, smashing the ice vines and breaking through.
He finally faced Teng Donglang!
The next moment, Teng Donglang flicked his right arm lightly.
A slender whip coiled around his forearm stretched out with the motion.
A Golden Level long whip!
Teng Donglang infused fighting energy and lashed out with the long whip.
The speed of the whip suddenly increased.
Combat Skill — Fast Whip.
The whip lashed out fiercely.
The dragon-man youth quickly raised his arms as shields to protect his face.
The next moment, the tail of the whip struck his forearms.
A light golden glow of Vajra Body flickered fiercely, and the azure steel armlets on his arms hummed.
Relying on the strong defense of his Golden Level armor, the dragon-man youth blocked the attack.
The youth was about to continue his sprint when his pupils suddenly contracted.
Just after the whip struck, it suddenly recoiled completely against the laws of physics, striking another blow.
Combat Skill — Extra Whip!
Caught off guard, the dragon-man youth was struck on the forearm.
His forearm swung wide, leaving him wide open.
Golden Level Fighting Energy filled the long whip, and just then, it suddenly burst forth, turning into blade light.
Combat Skill—Blade Light.
The Golden Level Fighting Energy, like a cleaver, with its strong cutting properties, struck the chest of the Dragon-man youth.
The faint glow of the Vajra Body trembled fiercely once again to block this attack.
However, the Dragon-man youth was stopped in his tracks by this blow, losing all momentum.
And the long whip, which had lost Golden Fighting Spirit just a moment ago, suddenly rose up like the head of a python.
Combat Skill—Blunt Head Whip.
Golden Level Fighting Energy expanded at the tail of the whip, forming a hammer-like shape.
The round hammer slammed towards the Dragon-man youth, with formidable force.
The Dragon-man youth hastily retreated backward explosively.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed as the tail of the whip smashed into the ground, creating a small deep pit.
As the broken soil flew up, a large number of Ice Whips sprang up as well.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
They shot out like a rioting swarm of snakes, giving the Dragon-man youth no chance to catch his breath.
The Dragon-man youth had no intention of getting close to Teng Donglang.
At this moment, he was only thinking about retreating with all his might!
His knees, palms, and chest among other places, all displayed smoking Ring Mounds.
Bang, bang, bang…
A series of mini explosions occurred within the Ring Mounds, propelling the Dragon-man youth’s body, as he kept shooting back explosively.
Many of the Ice Vines had missed their mark.
Finally, the Dragon-man youth, in an awkward roll, retreated to a relatively safe distance.
Looking intently, he was now a hundred meters away from Teng Donglang.
His first full-force assault had ended in failure!
The entire arena went silent for several seconds.
Then, the spectators began to discuss fervently.
“Teng Donglang is truly worthy of being a Golden Level powerhouse; this is his true level of skill.”
“During the Long Fu’s charge, I thought for a moment that Teng Donglang was about to be forced to move, but it turns out he managed to easily dissolve the assault with a series of whip strokes.”
“Very impressive, Teng Donglang is extremely formidable!” Some knowledgeable spectators felt the shock.
“Just now, Teng Donglang used several Combat Skills, but actually, the Fast Whip wasn’t the first one he used, but the second.”
“The first Combat Skill he executed was the Triple Whip! And the last Combat Skill to end it was also the Triple Whip.”
“While using the Triple Whip, he sequentially employed the Fast Whip, Extra Whip, and Blunt Head Whip. He even had energy to spare to unleash a Golden Level Blade Light!”
“His mastery of the whip is simply too profound.”
In the Observation Room where Ice Eagle was, the high ranks of the Saber Gang were also very excited.
Ban Langen had already sat down, clenching his fists: “My worries were completely unnecessary; Lord Teng Donglang is far beyond me. I was worrying unnecessarily.”
Ice Eagle then recalled an episode from the past.
Back then, Teng Donglang was much younger than he is now.
Using his Whip Skill, Teng Donglang publicly defeated Ice Eagle’s Golden Level slave, and in one fell swoop secured the position of Gang Leader.
As the memory faded, Ice Eagle stared at the Magic Image before him.
The youthful face of Teng Donglang slowly gave way to a more aged look.
This was the price paid for being weighed down by gang affairs, taxing his mind and strength.
It was the cost of power.
“Although it’s rare to see you take action, there is no doubt, Teng Donglang, now you are even more powerful than before.”
“On the foundation of the Triple Whip, matching it with various Combat Skills made the ordinary Triple Whip accompany each lash with a special attack effect. It’s hard for the enemy to defend against and highly targeted!”
“The intricate gang affairs and the authority of the Gang Leader haven’t made you slack in honing your skills.”
“Handing over the position of Gang Leader to you was the right decision!”
Once he used his main weapon, Teng Donglang easily repelled the Dragon-man youth’s attack.
Keep in mind, this was the Dragon-man youth going all out!
The Dragon-man youth gasped for air, but his attention was on the Windshield in front of him.
His vision differed from that of normal people.
The Windshield given by Bu Quan could mark threats differently based on their severity.
Just now, when Teng Donglang used a variety of Combat Skills, his Golden Level long whip displayed different colors.
“Golden Level Fighting Energy infused into Golden Level gear is red, indicating a high threat.”
“With each execution of a Combat Skill, the threat level of the long whip soared.”
“The threat level of the first Combat Skill was low, but by the end with the Blunt Head Whip, the color had turned to deep purple!”
It was this that allowed the Dragon-man youth to confirm in an instant that if he took the hit head-on, he would likely suffer substantial damage.
Even though he was equipped with Golden Level protective gear.
A Golden Level fighter, using Golden Level gear, executing Golden Level Combat Skills.
The combined power was far beyond that of a Golden Level cannon with Golden Level bombs.
The Blunt Head Whip that hit the ground, creating only a small deep pit, was not to be underestimated.
But don’t forget, this is the largest dueling field in Snowbird Port, with advanced and complete facilities.
To create such a pit, the attack’s force was already formidable.
And the Dragon-man youth was just Silver Level, unable to fully unleash the power of his numerous Golden Level equipment without the corresponding Level of Fighting Energy.
“This Teng Donglang is probably the strongest Golden Level I’ve ever seen.”
“Perhaps Hun Tong can match him.”
“However, this pair of goggles is really convenient.”
“Although it’s the first time facing Teng Donglang, with these goggles, I can see through his every move and make precise judgments.”
Normally, the Dragon-man youth would have to keep clashing, drawing lessons from pain and injury, paying the price in blood, to deeply comprehend Teng Donglang’s methods and make such precise judgments.
Just like when he previously fought against Xiong Ju, unable to guard against Xiong Ju’s Bear Roar Combat Skill.
But after one fight, the Dragon-man youth kept reviewing the battle, and now if they were to fight again, he would be able to predict Xiong Ju’s Bear Roar Combat Skill in advance based on details like Xiong Ju’s Adam’s apple.
“Teng Donglang is indeed the leader of a gang; his strength is not that of an ordinary Golden Level.”
“He really starts to fight when he uses his long whip.”
“Long Fu was almost whipped to the ground.”
“Silver, Gold… one is low Level, the other is mid-Level. The gap between them isn’t so easy to bridge.”
“Wait, look, Long Fu has drawn his Short Spear.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen him use a melee weapon.”
“The way he’s holding it… it looks extraordinary.”
