Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 518 - 341: Magnetic Pole Potential Slash
Chapter 518: Chapter 341: Magnetic Pole Potential Slash
At this moment, Kelly had lost all the glamour she had displayed at the banquet. Most of her body was exposed, marred by charred black burn wounds, and blood flowed from the pierced wound on her chest and abdomen, trickling down her thigh to the ground.
She was the Magnetic Field Madman, and these injuries were not fatal; they were healing rapidly.
Moreover, she was regaining consciousness.
Hearing Ji Xinghuo’s words, Kelly glared at Ji Xinghuo, who was just an arm’s length away, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness, but she would not submit.
She struggled desperately, but found she could not muster any strength at all.
The strength in Ji Xinghuo’s hands was terrifying, like a pair of incredibly hard pliers that could not be budged. Continuous high voltage electricity surged from them, pouring into her body, suppressing her Star Power and muscles.
Kelly was like a fish hooked on a line, completely at the mercy of others. Ji Xinghuo could kill her with just a little effort.
But she would not accept defeat.
She stared at Ji Xinghuo with eyes that gradually turned ferocious, biting her teeth together without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, many guests watching the duel felt pity.
Mutants from the American Federation wanted to intervene and rescue her, but they were constrained by the rules of the duel; unless one party conceded, outsiders could not step in.
Otherwise, both the intervening party and Kelly herself would face public humiliation.
Before the fight began, many people were recording, and even speaking out to plead for mercy had its dangers.
Ji Xinghuo began to apply more force gradually.
Kelly’s body convulsed ceaselessly, her expression twisted as she evidently suffered great pain, yet she still refused to speak.
"Mr. Ji!"
As the hostess, Princess Sofia was anxious. If Kelly died in the Royal Mansion, it would be a stain on her and the Roman Empire, and it would certainly trigger a diplomatic conflict. The financial consortium behind Kelly would not let it rest.
She quickly declared, "The winner is decided, please, Mr. Ji, show mercy."
Ji Xinghuo turned his head to look at Sofia and nodded slightly, still willing to show some respect to the host.
He had never intended to kill Kelly; he just wanted to teach her a harsh lesson.
"You should be thankful this is on Earth, otherwise I would not mind having one more insignificant life on my hands."
Ji Xinghuo met Kelly’s gaze, speaking in a voice that was soft and without emotional fluctuation, yet carried a deadly threat, "Regardless of what your intentions are, stay away from Man Ying in the future."
Kelly understood his meaning: No one can compete with me for a woman, not even if you are a woman, it still won’t work.
She nodded with difficulty.
Only then did Ji Xinghuo let go, and Kelly regained her freedom, nearly falling over as her legs gave way.
But she immediately steadied herself, enduring the pain to remove the spear embedded in her body. The Rotating Magnetic Field rapidly healed her wounds, and liquid metal flowed from within her body to form a suit of armor, covering her exposed flesh.
In just over a dozen seconds, Kelly had recovered her battle strength.
She looked at Ji Xinghuo standing before her, her gaze complex. This battle was nothing like what she had anticipated.
No grappling, no probing.
Beforehand, Kelly had made many assumptions, formulating tactics, but none came into play.
Ji Xinghuo crushed her with absolute strength, ending the fight in less than ten seconds.
"Next time you challenge a strong opponent, make sure you know who you are up against." Ji Xinghuo smiled at her and walked away.
"You..."
Kelly felt an immense humiliation, but having just been thoroughly beaten, she had no confidence to speak.
Watching Ji Xinghuo’s retreating figure, she suddenly realized that from beginning to end, Ji Xinghuo had not left his spot, not moving more than a meter away. During this exchange, he neither utilized his speed nor his Archery Skill.
During the banquet, Kelly had provoked him by saying she believed Ji Xinghuo relied solely on his Flying speed and Archery Skill.
Without using either, he had easily defeated her.
He did it on purpose!
Kelly’s face felt hot with shame, the blow to her pride more piercing than the spear through her body, shattering her arrogance accumulated over many years.
She peeled back the skin on her wrist and took out a chip.
"This is the information on Magnetic Pole Potential Slash."
Kelly threw the chip to Ji Xinghuo, then took off into the night sky without looking back, fleeing the mansion.
Every extra minute she spent there was an agony.
Ji Xinghuo caught the chip and took a glance. It was a standard storage chip; Kelly was unlikely to deceive him with fake information.
He felt the burning gazes of many landing on his hand.
The information of a Star-falling Species was a huge attraction to the Mutants present, even if it was not compatible with their own Abilities. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ji Xinghuo slipped the chip into his coat pocket.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our banquet continues!" exclaimed Sofia loudly.
Everyone returned to the banquet hall.
Ji Xinghuo resumed his lazy demeanor, sitting on the couch, whispering to Zhao Manying.
Su Ziyou walked over with a smile: "I’ve recorded your fight with Kelly just now. Do you want to watch it?"
"Nothing worth watching," Ji Xinghuo shook his head.
Kelly had come prepared; she wanted to return to the top of the ladder and planned to use the video to prove herself, arranging for her teammates to record the whole process. As long as she won, she would upload it to the network immediately for ADC to adopt.
But she hadn’t expected to lose so completely.
The Mutants of the American Federation certainly would not release the video, but other people were present. In just a few minutes, the video of the less-than-ten-second fight had spread across the global network like a virus.
"Kelly really took a hit this time, lost her gamble and her pride. A huge loss," Su Ziyou said somewhat gleefully.
