“Even if the Armoured Dragon is a high level lord, it still can’t fly. It can only run and jump. Once it’s in the air, it can’t change direction. Shaking it off will be easy.”
Luo Feng remained calm.
Standing on the hexagonal shield, he traced an arc through the sky before shooting upwards.
One of the Armoured Dragon’s eyes had already been blinded.
Its remaining eye was fixed firmly on Luo Feng.
“AOOOOOO!”
Amid its furious roar, the Armoured Dragon suddenly whipped its long tail.
Whoosh!
The tail, over ten metres long, instantly became a cyan blur sweeping towards Luo Feng.
The distance between them vanished in an instant.
The high level lord Armoured Dragon could already run faster than the speed of sound, while the speed of its tail swing exceeded even its running speed by more than ten times.
The tail moved several times faster than the fastest sniper bullet.
This was the terrifying power of a high level lord.
Whoosh!
Because the tail was moving so quickly, a layer of ultra high pressure air formed along its edge.
“It won’t hit me. It’s still fifty or sixty centimetres short.”
Luo Feng instantly judged the situation.
The tip of the tail missed his chest by about half a metre.
However, the compressed high pressure air carried by the tail slammed into his chest.
It felt as though a giant stone hammer had struck him.
For a moment, he could barely breathe.
Bang!
Luo Feng’s body was hurled backwards.
He immediately controlled his shield to stabilise himself.
“As expected of a high level lord. Just the high pressure air carried by its tail nearly knocked the breath out of me.”
Luo Feng felt blood rise into his throat.
Unable to suppress it any longer, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then he looked towards the Armoured Dragon in the distance.
Its enormous body was falling back towards the ground.
“You’re a land based monster. Unless you become a King level creature, you’re destined never to fly.”
Luo Feng smiled faintly.
His mood completely relaxed.
Standing on the shield, he rapidly flew upwards at an angle.
Whoosh!
Flying through the air truly felt exhilarating.
“AOOOOOO!”
The Armoured Dragon landed heavily on a city street, then sprang onto the roof of a twenty eight storey residential tower.
With another powerful leap, the rooftop collapsed beneath its feet.
Large chunks of concrete tumbled from the building.
Using that leap, the Armoured Dragon launched itself more than a hundred metres into the air and charged towards Luo Feng.
“Armoured Dragon, no matter how good your jumping ability is, it’s useless.”
The moment the Armoured Dragon launched itself, Luo Feng had already started climbing higher.
He continued ascending.
Reaching three hundred metres in altitude was easy.
The Armoured Dragon could only fall helplessly back down.
Whoosh!
It whipped its tail through the air, using the powerful air resistance to accelerate its descent.
“Pointless.”
Luo Feng continued rising while flying towards the outskirts of City 003.
Rumble…
A deafening sound rose from below.
“Hm?”
Looking down from high above, Luo Feng saw the Armoured Dragon racing through the city.
Sometimes it vaulted over apartment buildings.
Sometimes it sprinted through the streets.
Sometimes it ran directly across rooftops.
All the while, it remained locked onto Luo Feng’s direction.
“It still refuses to give up.”
Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly.
“As a high level lord, the Armoured Dragon’s eyesight is absurd. Even if I fly two or three thousand metres high, as long as nothing blocks its view, it can still see me.”
Even Luo Feng himself could clearly see people several kilometres away.
For the Armoured Dragon to see figures five or six kilometres away was nothing unusual.
“My flying speed doesn’t exceed the speed of sound. Its running speed is faster than the speed of sound. It’ll be difficult to shake it off.”
“I’ll have to break through the clouds.”
Luo Feng immediately climbed higher.
Whoosh!
Standing on the hexagonal shield, he shot upwards, aiming to rise above the cloud layer.
Once he was above the clouds, the Armoured Dragon would lose sight of him and be unable to continue the pursuit.
“Screeeech!”
“Screeeech! Screeeech!”
A series of piercing cries suddenly rang out.
In the distant northwest, a vast black mass appeared.
It was a huge flock of flying monsters.
And they were heading directly towards Luo Feng.
“I’m such an idiot!”
Luo Feng cursed himself.
The skies were almost entirely the domain of flying monsters.
Only extremely fast fighter aircraft could travel safely through the air.
If a human martial artist dared to fly openly, nearby flocks of flying monsters would naturally attack.
Even before the Great Nirvana Era, birds possessed excellent eyesight.
Now their vision was even more terrifying.
These flying monsters had likely spotted him from afar and immediately gathered their flock to hunt him down.
“Near Carrefour Supermarket, I could compete with ground monsters in terms of aerial manoeuvrability. But competing with flying creatures in the sky? That’s suicide.”
Without hesitation, the moment he spotted the approaching flock, Luo Feng dived towards the city below.
Facing an entire flock of flying monsters in the air meant certain death.
Against the Armoured Dragon alone, however, he still had a chance of survival if he kept his distance.
…
“AOOOOOO!”
Seeing the human in the sky suddenly dive downwards, the Armoured Dragon immediately pursued him.
During his descent, Luo Feng traced a large arc through the air.
Whoosh!
He shot directly towards a twelve storey residential building.
Like a bolt of lightning, he burst through a balcony window.
Crash!
Glass exploded everywhere as Luo Feng rushed inside.
Boom!
The Armoured Dragon, appearing as a dark cyan streak, charged forward and smashed directly into the eighth floor balcony Luo Feng had just entered.
At such terrifying speed, the entire building shook violently.
The concrete support walls in the centre cracked and collapsed.
The whole structure began slowly toppling over.
“Human!”
The Armoured Dragon roared.
Locking onto another distant blur, it saw Luo Feng dash into yet another residential building.
Boom!
Afraid that even the slightest hesitation might allow Luo Feng to escape, the Armoured Dragon crashed straight through the point where Luo Feng had entered.
The building was severed through its middle and slowly collapsed.
This was a medium sized residential district.
There were more than twenty twelve storey apartment blocks.
Yet Luo Feng and the Armoured Dragon, one fleeing and one chasing, had already destroyed eight buildings in succession.
Passing through windows and balconies had virtually no effect on Luo Feng’s speed.
For the massive Armoured Dragon, however, smashing through an entire building significantly slowed it down.
Yet it had no choice.
The buildings blocked its vision.
Rumble…
After destroying the eighth building, the Armoured Dragon suddenly stopped.
The eighth apartment block slowly collapsed towards it.
The Armoured Dragon did not even attempt to dodge.
Boom!
The entire building crashed onto its body.
Compared to the hardness of the Armoured Dragon’s scales, the building was as fragile as tofu.
It suffered no injury whatsoever.
“Human! Human!”
The Armoured Dragon roared furiously, scanning the surroundings.
It had lost Luo Feng.
…
Inside a dark electrical room in the underground car park of the residential district, Luo Feng leaned against the wall.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
He breathed slowly while feeling waves of pain from his chest.
Blood continued seeping through his combat uniform.
“The injuries are pretty serious this time. I was already badly wounded escaping from all those commander level monsters. Then the high pressure air from the Armoured Dragon’s tail struck my chest and made it worse.”
Luo Feng gently rubbed his chest.
The pain intensified.
His face became even paler.
Although badly injured, he was in an excellent mood.
“Hidden in this underground car park, and inside this electrical room, the Armoured Dragon probably won’t find me.”
A faint smile appeared on his face.
His escape plan had already been formulated before he entered the residential district.
Neighbourhoods like this always had underground car parks.
Each time he passed through a building, the structure blocked the Armoured Dragon’s vision.
No matter how powerful the beast was, after smashing through building after building, an opportunity finally appeared.
The entrance to the underground car park happened to be near the eighth building.
Naturally, Luo Feng seized the chance and rushed inside.
Then the collapse of the eighth building buried the entrance beneath rubble.
For the Armoured Dragon to guess his location now would be extremely difficult.
“AOOOOOO!”
The Armoured Dragon’s furious howl echoed from the surface.
This roar was even louder than the previous ones.
Rumble…
Soon after, the entire ground began trembling.
Countless responding roars echoed one after another.
The Armoured Dragon was the ruler of all monsters within a radius of twenty to thirty kilometres in the suburbs.
With a single command, the enormous horde under its control, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, spread out in every direction.
Led by junior, intermediate, and high level commander monsters, they swept across the region searching for humans.
…
Inside the cold underground car park.
Within the electrical room.
“The monster roars keep coming, and the ground is shaking. The Armoured Dragon has mobilised the entire horde to search for humans throughout the area?”
Luo Feng’s expression changed.
A single Armoured Dragon might struggle to find him.
But hundreds of thousands of monsters conducting a blanket search…
Sooner or later, they would discover him.
This residential district would undoubtedly be one of the Armoured Dragon’s primary search zones.
“It looks like I can’t stay here to recover.”
Luo Feng stood up.
His mood remained relatively relaxed.
The situation earlier had been far worse than this, and he had still escaped.
If he survived that, why wouldn’t he survive now?
“City 003 has countless underground metro tunnels.”
“If I remember correctly, there’s one not far from here.”
“Once I enter the metro tunnel, I can easily leave City 003 by following it.”
“The tunnels are narrow. Even if there are monsters inside, they’ll be smaller and weaker ones.”
“At the very least, a creature the size of the Armoured Dragon can’t get in.”
“It’s time to go home.”
“Time to return to the base city.”
“When I get back, I’ll sell the dragon egg, the combat uniform, and the sword.”
“I wonder how much they’ll fetch. Will it be enough to reach thirty billion?”
Although his chest throbbed with pain, Luo Feng’s heart was filled with anticipation.
He had risked everything on this mission.
But if it allowed his younger brother to stand up again, it would all have been worth it.
