Chapter 109: Like a God of War
Yuelong Ze stared coldly at the injured Hippolytus alien sprawled on the ground, clutching his wounded nose in agony. Already gravely wounded, the additional injury to his nose had nearly destroyed his combat effectiveness.
Yuelong Ze’s entire right leg had almost completely turned to bronze. Without hesitation, he retracted his lightsaber instantly, crossed his arms, and concentrated energy before his chest.
“Radiant Form: Zai Peli’ao Beam!”
This was currently Yuelong Ze’s most powerful beam technique. Of course, if he could harness Camilla’s golden power as well, its might would be even greater.
With a swift motion, the multicolored Zai Peli’ao Beam struck the severely injured Hippolytus alien lying on the ground.
“Boom!”
The Hippolytus alien exploded on impact.
Yuelong Ze exhaled softly and glanced down at his right leg, which was visibly healing at a remarkable speed.
“The Dark Five, huh...” he murmured, summoning his energy lightsaber once more. “Let me deal with you one by one!”
The death of the Hippolytus alien did not go unnoticed by his comrades, drawing admiring glances from the other Ultramen. The new generation relentlessly surpassed the old.
With a casual sweep of his energy lightsaber, Yuelong Ze sent several dark energy-infected monsters flying aside and advanced toward the members of the Dark Five.
His chosen target: the Imperial Alien—Viranias!
Beside Viranias stood a formidable monster—the Tyrant Monster Tyrant! Together, they called themselves the “Extreme Fury Duo,” both exceedingly powerful foes.
“That’ll be you,” Yuelong Ze said coldly, his eyes like ice as he approached the Imperial Alien.
The Imperial Alien, who had been harassing Jack Ultraman—who was struggling against several mass-produced Dark Lops—sensed Yuelong Ze’s killing intent and abruptly turned around.
“You killed that Hippolytus scum—I don’t care. But do you really think you can kill me too?” Viranias sneered, ceasing his attacks on Jack and addressing Yuelong Ze with a chilling tone.
“Ha! I’m here to kill you!” Yuelong Ze replied without further words. He disliked wasting time. With a step powered by his battle-assisting technique—the Ghost Step—he unleashed the Jinglong Sword Technique!
With a sharp slash, Yuelong Ze’s lightsaber sliced through the air, heading straight for the Imperial Alien. Calm in the face of danger, Viranias cracked his whip, deflecting the attack effortlessly.
The Imperial Alien wielded a killing beam and a whip specifically designed to counter the Ultraman clan.
Yuelong Ze’s eyes darkened. Weapons like whips naturally held an advantage over swords—a born counter.
Especially the Imperial Alien’s whip, a deadly weapon tailored to the Ultramen.
“Then I’ll show you my hand-to-hand combat skills!” Yuelong Ze sheathed his lightsaber and assumed a fighting stance, fueling Viranias’s anger.
To refuse one’s weapon was a blatant insult.
Fury surged through Viranias as he swung his whip, sending a fierce gust of wind toward Yuelong Ze.
The whip struck Yuelong Ze’s torso, piercing through his body!
“Is that all? That Hippolytus guy actually died at the hands of trash like you,” Viranias gloated.
But then—
With a mighty punch, Yuelong Ze struck Viranias’s jaw, sending him flying backward.
The blow had hit only an afterimage.
With a thunderous roar that drowned out the surrounding battle sounds, the Tyrant Monster Tyrant, Viranias’s loyal partner, bellowed in rage.
A fused monster combining traits of many others, Tyrant had once given the Ultramen great trouble.
With a terrifying snarl, Tyrant opened his massive jaws and unleashed a torrent of blazing fire toward Yuelong Ze. Yuelong Ze’s palm glowed as he fiercely deflected the fireball barehanded.
Simultaneously, a dreadful beam shot down from above—Viranias’s killing beam specialized against the Ultramen.
Yuelong Ze’s eyes narrowed. Planting one foot lightly, he moved like a swift swallow to evade the deadly beam.
Then—
A slender green beam struck Tyrant’s back, interrupting his assault.
“Leave this monster to me!” called out Zero.
Zero had been busy eliminating the mass-produced Dark Lops, feeling utterly disgusted by these Ultraman lookalikes.
“Little Sai?” Yuelong Ze nodded slightly at Zero before charging at Viranias.
The Imperial Alien was not skilled in close combat; if Yuelong Ze closed in, it would be a nightmare for him.
With the aid of the Ghost Step, Yuelong Ze easily dodged Viranias’s whip strikes.
A true martial artist was a perfect blend of footwork and fists.
To Viranias, Yuelong Ze’s illusory movements were terrifying. His whip, designed to counter the Ultramen, could not land a single hit.
Fear turned into rage. Ignoring his energy consumption, Viranias launched a frantic barrage of killing beams at Yuelong Ze.
Not one hit.
Yuelong Ze danced through the lethal beams, steadily closing in.
Three hundred meters... two hundred meters...
One hundred meters... fifty meters...
Amidst the deadly beams, Yuelong Ze moved with ease.
Forty meters... twenty meters...
Viranias’s eyes widened in terror as Yuelong Ze drew nearer.
Ten meters... five meters...
With a swift motion, Yuelong Ze bent forward, his left hand resting near his left abdomen, and his right fist suddenly struck out. Simultaneously, his lightsaber materialized.
Viranias’s crimson pupils contracted sharply.
The golden energy lightsaber, driven by Yuelong Ze’s right fist, pierced through Viranias’s dark body.
Viranias opened his mouth weakly as if to speak but lacked the strength.
Yuelong Ze withdrew his right hand swiftly, splattering an eerie spray of blood.
Glancing at the corpse of the Imperial Alien, a gaping hole in its abdomen, Yuelong Ze turned promptly toward his next target.
Meanwhile, Zero had overwhelmingly defeated Viranias’s partner—the Tyrant Monster Tyrant.
The Extreme Fury Duo was erased from the universe.
Standing like a war god upon the surface, Yuelong Ze radiated an icy aura. For a time, weaker monsters dared not attack him.
“Who to choose next...” he mused.
The Dark Five had become the Dark Three. The remaining three of Belial’s minions were engaged in battle with the Ultramen.
Yuelong Ze felt a bit reluctant to snatch others’ opponents.
“Then... I’ll start by clearing out the nearby small fry first!” he declared.
