Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 471 - 317: Couple’s Civil War

After seeing his family off, Ji Xinghuo entered the bedroom and became intimate with Zhao Manying for a while before he noticed she seemed somewhat distracted.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked.

Zhao Manying gently held his hand under the pajamas, looked up, and said, "I want to have another duel with you."

"Haha, you want to challenge me just after fusing with the True Eye?" Ji Xinghuo laughed.

"That’s right." Zhao Manying sat up straight, her eyes sparkling with confidence and determination as she looked at Ji Xinghuo, "I know I’m likely not your match, but I want to know how far behind you I am, and also test the effect of the True Eye."

Ji Xinghuo teased her chin, "Second place in the sky ladder challenging the first, sounds reasonable. I accept."

He felt not the slightest displeasure.

On the contrary, he thought that this was what he admired most about Zhao Manying.

She had the heart of a true warrior, and would never become completely dependent on another person because of a romantic relationship.

"Let’s go now."

Zhao Manying jumped out of bed, "Let’s still go to Huashan, to the peak where we had our first duel last year."

She quickly changed into a black leather outfit, shouldered a longsword, and was about to go downstairs to drive, but Ji Xinghuo stopped her.

"We’ll fly there directly."

Ji Xinghuo picked her up horizontally, stepped onto the balcony, and immediately took off.

Boom!

With a violent sound explosion, Ji Xinghuo almost instantly reached supersonic speed, flying eastward towards Huashan in the high sky.

Zhao Manying hugged Ji Xinghuo’s neck, observing the bubble-like Flow Barrier surrounding them both, which shielded them from the violent airflow, her eyes full of amazement.

She had also just fused with the Flow Barrier.

But to reach Ji Xinghuo’s level, where it was not only tough as steel but could also expand and transform, she did not know how much longer it would take.

By now, the flying speed had reached Mach 2, with cities swiftly receding below, and the lights stretching out like flowing rays.

"So fast!"

Zhao Manying exclaimed in amazement.

As a kinetic energy Stringer, she could master the ability to fly without fusing with other Transcendent Species, but her spiritual power was not strong enough, and her flight was not as fast or agile as desired.

"Should I also fuse with a flying Transcendent Species?" Zhao Manying, feeling the thrill of extreme speed, asked aloud.

Ji Xinghuo thought for a moment, "You could try. Definitely no harm in having more speed."

A kinetic energy Stringer fusing with a flying Transcendent Species would lead to an overlay of spiritual energy and enhanced flying, inevitably resulting in greater speed.

Zhao Manying nodded slightly.

She had considered this before, but fusion times were precious, so she had not made up her mind.

Now that Ji Xinghuo had given her three space-expanding artifacts, she had four chances to fuse, having already integrated the True Eye and Flow Barrier and still having two left.

"I have some Winged Man Feathers, do you want them?" Ji Xinghuo offered.

"What level are they?"

"Just the ordinary Winged Man Feathers, Transcendent Species."

"No, thanks," Zhao Manying shook her head. Winged Man Feathers were purchasable, and though they were worth hundreds of millions, they weren’t rare for her.

She was unimpressed by "Flying."

Because the essence of flying was a capability of kinetic energy application, it was not driven by spiritual energy and hence redundant for a kinetic energy Stringer.

As they talked, they arrived at their destination.

Ji Xinghuo slowed down and landed on an inconspicuous peak among the steep mountains surrounding Huashan. After landing, Zhao Manying looked around; even in the darkness, she could see everything clearly, down to the smallest detail.

The rocky summit hadn’t changed much, and traces of the battle they had last year during their duels were still visible.

This was where their love story had begun.

Recalling the circumstances from that time, the corners of Zhao Manying’s mouth lifted slightly.

"Shall we start?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

Zhao Manying collected herself, regaining her composure. She stepped back to a position about fifty meters away, unsheathed her stunningly long Ice Sword, and her Spirit Sword Bracelet also fell off her wrist, transforming into four dazzling sword lights, conjuring eight Cold Ice Swords.

The Ice Sword also created four Sword Shadow Clones. In an instant, sixteen colorful sword lights encircled her.

"Give it your all, don’t hold back," Zhao Manying said earnestly, "otherwise our duel will be meaningless."

Ji Xinghuo nodded, "Okay."

"Begin!"

As Zhao Manying’s voice fell, Ji Xinghuo disappeared.

In a flash, Ji Xinghuo crossed several dozen meters and appeared in front of Zhao Manying.

Barehanded, his right hand glowed with a layer of thick tricolor Scale Armor; electricity leaped around it as he unleashed a punch of Electric Light Spiral Force.

In the past, the majority of Ji Xinghuo’s enemies would have been unable to react in time, but Zhao Manying’s eyes shone like stars. Instead of retreating, she stepped forward to meet Ji Xinghuo. The Ice Sword’s tip thrust forward vigorously.

Faster than the Ice Sword were the sword lights.

Four Cold Ice Swords, as if anticipating his move, blocked Ji Xinghuo’s path.

At the same time, the "Light Sword" above and in front of him flickered, erupting into intense brightness as a Flash Burst illuminated the entire mountaintop.

Ji Xinghuo closed his eyes.

He didn’t need to see to grasp everything happening around him; his punch remained unaffected.

Boom!

The four Cold Ice Swords blew up voluntarily, turning into a great amount of cold air and Shattered Ice, striking Ji Xinghuo all over his body, only to be deflected by the Flow Barrier. Although it didn’t cause any damage, the chill momentarily slowed Ji Xinghuo down.

It was during that instant that Zhao Manying seized the fleeting opportunity.

The long Ice Sword, like a nimble and venomous snake, slipped past Ji Xinghuo’s fist and struck his chest.

With a thud,

a startling level of Penetration burst from the tip of the sword. Braving the electric current triggered by the Flow Barrier, it pierced through, stuck on the Holy Scale Armor without making any further progress.

Ji Xinghuo ignored the sword at his chest and continued his assault, only to have his punch land on a barrier made of multiple overlapping sword beams. The Electric Light Spiral Force exploded, shattering the sword light barrier into pieces that scattered in all directions.

Amidst the flashing electricity, Zhao Manying quickly retreated, dodging the deadly force of the Electric Light Spiral Force.

Ji Xinghuo was about to pursue when he paused.

He looked down at his chest, where the Holy Scale Armor had not been penetrated by the sword, but the blade carried a Spiral Force that had drilled into his body, rampaging within.

"Impressive!"

Ji Xinghuo silently praised in his heart.

The Spiral Force that Zhao Manying exhibited was something he had taught her. Although it was just ordinary Spiral Force, lacking the electromagnetic properties of his own, her mastery was at a higher realm, reaching the "Extreme Simplicity".

In Martial Arts Star Power, the highest realm is "Extreme Simplicity."

It means the great path is utmost simple.

With every action and movement, what seems like a simple strike can contain unimaginable Star Force power.

This not only requires the Star Force to be at the Fifth Level or above but also demands an exceptional Martial Arts talent.

Ji Xinghuo’s Star Force was also at the Fifth Level.

But after several months of practice, his Spiral Force remained at the "Extreme Intent" realm, feeling far from the simplicity it aspired to achieve.

In contrast, it took Zhao Manying less than a year from mastering Spiral Force to reaching Extreme Simplicity. This must have been with the assistance of Quantum Mind, but it also clearly showed her exceptional Martial Arts talent, far surpassing his own.

"No wonder her sword could penetrate my Flow Barrier..."

As Ji Xinghuo’s thoughts whirled, the eruption of Spiral Force within him caused substantial damage, and a sweet taste rose in his throat as blood surged up.

At this moment, Zhao Manying took the opportunity to counterattack, closing in with a Flash Step.

A huge force, compressing from all directions, gripped Ji Xinghuo like an invisible giant hand, preventing him from moving.

What arrived before her longsword were streaks of sword light, converging into a giant, rainbow-like sword, as fast as lightning, slashing from his side.

Boom!

Thunder roared in the sky as several bolts of lightning descended from the heavens, aimed at both Zhao Manying and the giant sword she controlled.

A kinetic wall appeared above Zhao Manying’s head, acting as a shield, blocking the lightning. Simultaneously, the rainbow giant sword instantly dispersed, allowing the lightning to strike nothing, then reassembled and circled to slash down at Ji Xinghuo’s back.

This series of reactions and maneuvers left Ji Xinghuo in awe.

His eyes remained calm.

But in his hand, he had already withdrawn Demon Sound. In the half-second before the pincer attack took place, the influence of the physical Spiral Force was neutralized and suppressed. He instantaneously shifted to the left, breaking free of the unseen kinetic bonds.

Zhao Manying pressed the attack.

Ji Xinghuo turned to face her. The two of them kept a distance of about three steps in their high-speed movement, their swords clashing rapidly.

Clang clang clang clang...

Demon Sound clashed with her sword, sparking flames, and the metallic ringing did not cease.

Zhao Manying’s sword carried Spiral Force, and even though Ji Xinghuo was stronger, Demon Sound lacked explosive power. He could only rely on Overclocking Thought to fend off her tide-like sword attacks.

He tapped lightly with his left hand, and a flash of electric light burst from his fingertip.

A fierce Thunderbolt Hand struck out, and Zhao Manying deftly dodged to the side. The lightning bent and struck the rainbow giant sword coming from the right, exploding into streaks of sword light.

Ji Xinghuo immediately changed direction at a right angle.

Zhao Manying ultimately couldn’t keep up with his speed. She held on for less than two seconds before being left behind.

Her eyes flickered brightly as kinetic energy burst forth, constructing an invisible but tangible kinetic cage around Ji Xinghuo.

Bang!

Ji Xinghuo accelerated instantly, shattering the kinetic cage. As his speed slowed, three streams of sword light flew towards him, their speed and direction constantly changing. He changed directions multiple times, but the sword light always followed like a shadow.

Demon Sound struck with her sword, intending to sever the light swords.

However, these light swords slipped through like eels, cleverly unloading the force at the moment of blade collision and avoiding damage.

And every time he struck with his sword, there was an invisible kinetic energy resisting him, as if he was underwater, with both strength and speed diminished, unable to exert his full power, constantly being suppressed and interrupted by the kinetic energy.

This delicate manipulation of spiritual energy, complex and yet ingenious, constantly changing, was not something an ordinary Spiritual Power Stringer could achieve.

Just the computational load could crash the brain of a Mutant.

Zhao Manying, however, appeared completely at ease.

After tumbling in mid-air for a few seconds, Ji Xinghuo was forced to land and was surrounded by sharp light swords.

Compared to before, Zhao Manying’s strength had increased by several times!

If it had been him last year, he would have almost no chance of winning against her, but now... Ji Xinghuo suddenly flashed her a brilliant smile.

"This is the end."

Boom!

Ji Xinghuo instantly activated the Rotating Magnetic Field to full power, the Magnetic Spirit Star Core outputting at maximum power, triggering Dragon Madness, strength surged, and his body moved at full speed as if he had teleported, the air exploding with a bang behind him.

Zhao Manying’s expression remained calm as water, yet her eyes saw everything very clearly.

Her Star Power and spiritual energy burst forth.

Light swords tried to block Ji Xinghuo’s path, but they couldn’t keep up with his speed. The multiple layers of kinetic energy walls formed between them were broken through layer by layer, unstoppable.

Bang, bang, bang...

Ji Xinghuo instantly broke through the obstructions and unleashed a rather ordinary Electric Light Spiral Force, bursting through the air with a thunderous roar.

Zhao Manying had no way to avoid it.

She could only block it with her longsword in front of her, her fist clashing directly with the sword blade.

Time seemed to pause for a very brief moment, then countless flashes burst forth, the stunning blow sending Zhao Manying flying back from the top of the mountain.

Halfway through the air, Zhao Manying still controlled her Flying Sword to attack.

The rainbow-like huge sword finally slashed down, but Ji Xinghuo suddenly turned around, narrowly avoiding the sword tip and appearing beside the gigantic sword, and another Electric Light Spiral Force hit the sword, causing it to crumble immediately.

He ignored the dispersing light swords, flying backward, drawing strange right-angle trajectories, avoiding the kinetic energy restrictions, and caught up to Zhao Manying.

Then he punched again.

In the midst of the electric explosion, Zhao Manying’s black leather clothes scattered like snowflakes, and her body fell toward the mountain ravine.

Ji Xinghuo fell faster than she did and quickly caught up to her below.

But he didn’t throw another punch, instead catching Zhao Manying, her Kinetic Armor and Flow Barrier both shattered, severely injured. freewebnøvel.coɱ

The victor was clear.

"Shall we keep fighting?"

Ji Xinghuo held Zhao Manying suspended in mid-air, asking softly.

Blood trickled from the corner of Zhao Manying’s mouth, her body paralyzed by electricity, her complexion pale, and it took her a few seconds to recover.

"No more fighting, you win again this time." There was not a trace of regret for defeat in her eyes; looking at Ji Xinghuo with focused fascination, she felt the firm strength of the man’s chest and suddenly said, "Love me!"
