Kert had already seized a spaceship equipped with a jump function; such ships were everywhere on this tourist planet.
He hovered in mid-air, and outside the porthole was the eyeball of a dragon's head.
Just one eyeball had already filled the view outside the porthole, and he felt as if he was being watched constantly.
He was discovered! Everyone else was fleeing, yet he remained, it was too strange! He had definitely been discovered!
As a Second Rank warrior, being overlooked by a Third Rank, his mind was on the verge of collapse.
"Hiss—whoosh!" Kert kept taking deep breaths, using reason to restrain his Instinct, preventing himself from initiating a jump to escape.
The guard holding the baby was equally anxious, his mouth dry.
The baby in his arms seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, crying out loudly, and no amount of comforting from the guard was effective.
◇
A Marshal once told a General that against an ordinary Third Rank, he had at least a twenty percent chance of victory, which was a rare talent throughout history.
Twenty percent?
When the Dragon Claw appeared and lightly overturned the planet, the General's whole body felt numb like an electric shock, he was not an opponent.
He was certain to die.
"Quick!"
"Be careful!"
The General suddenly came to his senses, noticing in the corner of his eye a group of soldiers forming a Dam, blocking a transport ship, preventing anyone from approaching.
The fleeing civilians and tourists, having no one to lead them, dared not collide with official forces and fled in other directions.
The three of them either followed the others in escape or rushed towards the transport ship alone.
To survive?
Or to complete the mission?
"There!" the General shouted, "There must be safety there!"
He ran madly towards the transport ship, soon surpassed by those with better physical fitness, amongst them aliens, Ascension Warriors, and those who hadn't reached First Rank.
Quickly, the General was engulfed by the crowd.
The disdainful dragon's voice rumbled, each syllable pressing down, and when the sentence was finished, sticky blood blurred the corners of the General's eyes.
He spat large gulps of blood, blood flowed from his nose and ears alike.
Bang!
The transport ship protected by the Sheriff exploded with a thunderous roar, and simultaneously the Princess and the person in charge made their move, their long hair flying, their faces cold and severe.
"Huan Clan!"
The dragon's head roared with anger, yellow clouds surged, lightning flashed and thundered, and the dragon claw that could overturn planets reappeared.
"Go!" the giant roared in anger.
The roots of the Divine Tree spread out, instantly enveloping the city beneath, absorbing the bodies, blood, seawater, and soil fertility.
The General unleashed unprecedented Strength, raising a hand and delivering a punch, the shadow of the fist resembling a red fierce sun.
Boom!!
The violent fist wind drained all the atmosphere nearby, the Sheriff's order-maintaining ships in the sky, fleeing ships, all perished in an instant within the fist wind, like sand blown apart.
The low-density air was directly transformed into a high-energy beam stream!
Countless objects on the ground were swept up by this punch, rushing into space.
Yet this terrifying strike, upon reaching the yellow dragon's head, reverted back to an ordinary air stream, merely causing the dragon's whiskers to sway lightly.
Dragon Claw descended.
"General!!" Tina and Kert, already united in the ship, shouted.
The person in charge rushed into the ship.
The Princess looked at the General, then moved her teary eyes to the dragon's head in the sky, gritting her teeth and turning to rush into the ship as well.
"After I avenge you, I'll come find you!"
{Jump System activated}
{Overlimit Release}
Everyone stood by the porthole, looking out.
{Locking onto the leap realm... locked}
{Jump countdown: 10, 9, 8...0}
"Die!" Dragon Claw lowered.
The giant roared towards the sky, sacrificing himself to collide with it.
The dragon claw, capable of overturning planets, bearing Four Blood Rings, and the ten-thousand-meter high giant collided outside the porthole, this was a mythical scene.
{Begin jump}
Boom!!!
Dragon Claw shattered, almost destroyed, and blood rained from the sky like Heavy Rain.
In the dragon blood rain, the giant vanished without a trace, and in the crater where the giant disappeared, the General lay with half his body, becoming entirely a blood person.
Blood Water mixed with the overturned seawater, splattering onto him.
Freed from the Formula Ring's restraint, the Divine Tree struggled, a root crawled from the General's heart, trying laboriously to absorb his last Strength to sustain its own life.
"Not dead?" the dragon's head was surprised, then cold, "Good, it's better that he's not dead, take him to the laboratory!"
A group of people rushed up.
The General's vision blurred, he vaguely saw in the sky where the dragon's head disappeared, the gathering clouds formed words.
[Task completion... commencing return]
Li Changzhou suddenly awoke.
