Chapter 92 The Complete Bronze and Fire
Norton slowly rose from his throne.
The expression on his face suddenly changed from fury to calm.
But this did not mean that the anger had disappeared; rather, it was deeply, deeply suppressed in his heart.
The next moment, the majesty unique to the first king of the race pressed down from nowhere, and the entire bronze city trembled under this tangible dragon's might.
brush!
Norton, dressed in white, appeared beside Li Yuan in an instant, raised his palm, and struck Li Yuan.
boom--
Li Yuan was equally unwilling to be outdone, and he thrust out a palm, colliding with Norton's palm.
Without any chanting or fancy gestures, their hands simply touched.
This attack could not possibly be just a simple physical collision!
Without any warning, a sharp burst of light and flame erupted from Norton's palm!
Word of Power: Lord's Flame!
However, Li Yuan's fair hands were undamaged, and the same sharp flames burst forth from his palms!
Word of Power: Lord's Flame!
The two palms collided directly at one point without any fancy moves or probing, and then quickly separated!
The result was a draw, with no one injured!
Norton made a "drawing a sword" gesture in the air, and a precious sword wreathed in black flames appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. After devouring Constantine, he had gained a deep understanding of dragons, the power of words, alchemy, and so on.
Therefore, he could tell at a glance that the knife in Norton's hand was not made of metal, but was directly shaped by the power of words.
Word of Power: Black Flame!
The advanced evolution branch of Word of Power: Sovereign Flame!
The Word of Power: Sovereign Flame is a very important node and cornerstone in fire-type Words of Power, marking the beginning of a qualitative change in the power of fire-type Words of Power.
If it evolves further, it can branch into two directions:
One path is Word Power: Black Sun → Word Power: Rising Sun → Word Power: Nine Suns.
The other branch is Word Spirit Black Flame → Word Spirit Radiant Flame → Word Spirit Heavenly Fire.
Norton's current use of black flames is a kind of Word of Power that is much hotter, more powerful, and more difficult to control than the Sovereign Flame.
But this incredibly intense flame, in the hands of Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, was directly shaped from a flickering flame into a solid, sword-like form!
brush!
Norton, wielding a strangely shaped flaming longsword, slashed down from the sky with unparalleled momentum.
However, Li Yuan was not afraid at all.
He sneered, and a long sword wrapped in bright golden flames suddenly appeared in his hand—it was the Zanpakuto Amaterasu!
But at this moment, this Zanpakuto is no longer an object of the soul level, but has descended into the material world with the help of the power of words!
when-
The two swords clashed, producing a deafeningly loud collision that swept through the entire hall and echoed throughout the entire bronze city.
When -
Two more collisions occurred, and the two figures passed each other, their backs to one another.
Li Yuan's arms hung down, his Zanpakuto pointing diagonally at the ground, his face expressionless.
Norton raised his arm, but the strange black flame longsword in his hand was already covered with countless cracks and shattered on the spot.
Also shattered were the bronze tables and desks in the main hall, and the enormous bronze statue behind them.
Although the two had only exchanged three sword blows, the invisible blade light had already shattered everything nearby into pieces.
Although it seems that Norton lost this brief exchange of blows, it was enough to demonstrate his formidable strength.
In the beginning, what Li Yuan released as the "body" of his Zanpakuto was the Word Spirit: Blaze.
This Word of Power is a lower-level Word of Power of Lord's Flame, and its effect is to generate a large amount of flames.
But at the very moment their weapons clashed, Li Yuan infused the "shell" of the Zanpakuto with the power of words, Radiant Flame.
Under such circumstances, the fact that Norton's black flame longsword, which lacked a "soul," could withstand three clashes before shattering is enough to demonstrate his strength.
However, at this moment, having been slashed three times by Li Yuan's Zanpakuto, even if he were the real Dragon King, his soul would definitely not be in good shape!
In the material world, this manifests as a person appearing "dull" or "sluggish".
He stood there blankly, but Li Yuan did not.
The longsword wrapped in golden flames in Li Yuan's hand vanished instantly. The next instant, his figure flashed and reappeared as if he had crossed space, standing behind Norton.
Before Norton could react, a powerful elbow strike sent him flying backward!
boom--
Li Yuan's iron elbow slammed into Norton's back, denting the area.
The enormous sound was like a thunderclap that had been building up for a long time. The sound swept across the entire palace, creating a shockwave that was clearly visible to the naked eye, and sent all the heavy bronze tables in the hall flying far away.
Norton was sent flying, crashing through two bronze statues in the hall before finally stopping when he hit a third statue.
Li Yuan didn't press his advantage. He simply stood there, watching with a calm expression as Norton slowly slid off the statue, fell to the ground, and then shakily straightened up.
Seeing this, Li Yuan nodded silently to himself, confirming his previous thoughts.
Perhaps it's because the awakening period was too short, or for some other reason, in any case, the Dragon King Norton in his human form is really weak right now!
Click click click!
Norton straightened up, and his bones emitted a sharp popping sound like popping beans. His almost shattered spine was restored to its original state, and his body was covered with a layer of black dragon scales. His aura surged.
It was as if Li Yuan's attack hadn't hurt him at all, but instead had helped him turn on some kind of switch, making his combat power even stronger.
Seeing the changes in Norton, Li Yuan's lips curled up, a smile appearing on his face: "Again!"
The next moment, the two disappeared at the same time, and then kept "flashing" back and forth. Each time they appeared, it was the end of a struggle.
During their "disappearance," no one but the two of them could see or count how many times they attacked each other.
Sparks burst forth like rain, blooming in every corner of the main hall.
A series of rapid explosions, much delayed than the two men's actual attack, resounded throughout the entire hall.
Even though they were both unarmed, the sharp, ear-piercing metallic clanging sound, like the clash of blades, echoed and spread throughout the entire Bronze City.
Fortunately, this is Bronze City, the lair personally forged by the King of Bronze and Fire. The interior is filled with alchemical matrices, which strengthen the building and thus allow it to withstand their violent bombardment and trampling.
If this were outside, with their sheer strength, they would probably have already turned into bulldozers, creating a vast expanse of ruins.
Neither of them used any more words of power; instead, they engaged in pure physical combat.
In the end, wars between kings can only be fought with bloodshed!
But the problem now is that the Seven Deadly Sins, the ultimate weapon Norton left for himself, has been hidden away by Li Yuan somewhere.
Although he could directly use the Word of Power: Heaven and Earth as a furnace and the Bronze City as a material to create swords on the spot.
But let's not even mention that Li Yuan also possesses this power of words, which he can use to interfere with him.
The key point is that these hastily manufactured weapons are completely useless against Li Yuan, who has devoured Constantine.
Therefore, instead of wasting energy, it's better to engage in hand-to-hand combat!
The battle between the two continued, with each relying solely on pure speed and strength to attack the other.
Their every movement created streaks of air like bolts of lightning, accompanied by howls like ghostly screams, swirling throughout the palace and even altering the direction of airflow within the entire Bronze City!
How many times did the two attack each other in such a short period of time?
Hundreds of times?
Thousands of times?
The main hall where the two were located was originally a place for holding court meetings or banquets.
After entering through the main gate, hundreds of bronze statues with flames burning on their heads are lined up on both sides, and in front of each statue is a heavy bronze table.
But at this moment, apart from the throne at the deepest part of the palace, all the bronze statues and bronze tables in the main hall had been reduced to pieces scattered all over the floor.
Nevertheless, the flames that once burned above the statues still remain, dutifully illuminating the entire palace space.
However, their location has changed from mid-air to the ground.
Illuminated by the firelight, Li Yuan and Norton transformed into streaks of light, traversing the entire hall before colliding together!
This final clash instantly extinguished ninety percent of the flames that had already fallen to the ground, leaving only a few scattered flames remaining in the outermost corners of the main hall.
After the clash, a tremendous sound, thousands of times louder than the sound of a silver bottle shattering, reverberated throughout the room.
The terrifying explosion pierced through the walls of the main hall and the walls of the Bronze City, spreading outwards and causing unimaginable damage to the river!
After this attack, both Li Yuan and Norton stopped tacitly, revealed themselves, and looked at each other.
The air inside the hall gradually returned to calm as the two stopped moving.
However, the oppressive aura that was faint and seemingly invisible yet filled the surrounding space seemed to have become even more terrifying.
An invisible pressure appeared out of nowhere and grew heavier and heavier. Even though neither of them made any movement, the air in the hall seemed to flow in a strange, distorted way.
A sound emanated from Norton's body, who was originally dressed in a white robe, and he emitted a faint golden light, which then became brighter and brighter, making his originally ordinary figure appear even more majestic and strong.
Li Yuan's appearance also changed. A series of soft cracking sounds came from his bones, and his body was quickly covered with a thick layer of scales that emitted a faint luster and reflected a faint golden light, making him look extremely majestic, as if a god had descended to earth.
The next moment, Norton, whose entire body was enveloped in gold, appeared in front of Li Yuan instantly. Seemingly skipping the process of moving, his golden fist, carrying the majestic power of heaven, ruthlessly slammed directly towards Li Yuan's face.
This punch was powerful and heavy, and its speed surpassed that of the past, but it did not create the slightest ripples in the wind. It seemed as if the surrounding air had been completely burned away by it.
boom--
Li Yuan was equally unwilling to back down, raising his arm and throwing a simple, unadorned punch in retaliation.
Their fists collided again, and the sound of the first punch was much louder than the last time they punched each other.
It collapsed—
Norton's fist, enveloped in golden light, emitted strange sounds. His entire fist, wrist, and even arm bones groaned as if they were about to break under the strain. Although they didn't shatter completely, fractures and cracks were certain.
Even with his extraordinary regenerative abilities, his entire arm can be restored to its original state in an instant.
But there is no doubt that the difference in physical strength between the two has become obvious.
Norton's physical strength is inferior to Li Yuan's!
This is a fact that is more solid than iron and more real than pure gold!
"Just as I thought—" Li Yuan thought to himself as he watched Norton's damaged arm, which was surrounded by golden light.
Pureblood dragons, after hatching from their cocoons, require a large amount of nutrients and a certain amount of time to grow and reach their peak.
After hatching this time, Norton inexplicably lost his memories of being a dragon king and could only passively rely on the small amount of regular food he ate in the human world to strengthen his body.
Therefore, the entire process of strengthening, or rather restoring to peak condition, can be described as extremely slow.
The time from the awakening of memories to now is still too short.
Even though he has been working hard to restore the dragon body that nurtured him, he is still far from being fully formed.
Li Yuan himself, having already accumulated more than a dozen of his own physical attributes, also received various enhancements such as internal energy and superpowers.
After absorbing Constantine and obtaining the complete bloodline of the first-generation Dragon King, it was strengthened even more.
Therefore, achieving such results can be said to be natural and expected.
Norton looked at Li Yuan with a complex expression in his pure golden dragon eyes and sighed softly.
That sigh seemed to contain far too much.
Was it resentment? Disbelief? Or lamenting that this era no longer belonged to him?
Even so, as a monarch, he has his own dignity, so why would he bow his head!
Norton suddenly thrust out a palm, and a giant palm formed of golden flames separated from his hand, pressing down on Li Yuan at an extremely fast speed.
Li Yuan chuckled lightly, neither dodging nor avoiding, and took the attack of the giant fiery hand head-on.
A giant golden flaming palm struck him, but he remained unmoved. The palm created a human-shaped hole in the center, leaving him completely unharmed.
After the giant fiery hand swept past his body, it struck the bronze wall behind him, silently melting a large hole in the shape of a hand before continuing to fly outwards.
Twisting his neck and shaking his joints, Li Yuan launched another counterattack.
boom-
He delivered a merciless straight punch, landing squarely on Norton's chest.
This time, he used much more force than he had used with the previous elbow strike.
Although Norton reacted quickly and raised his arms to form a defense, he still couldn't withstand the terrifying power. Li Yuan forcibly broke through his defense and the fist struck his sternum.
Norton was sent flying again, but this time his injuries were much more serious than before.
The sternum, along with the surrounding ribs, was struck head-on, and numerous cracks appeared. Even the heart was so badly damaged by the punch that it stopped beating and froze in place.
Crimson blood, like liquid flames, gushed from his mouth as if it were free, spilling onto the ground and melting deep, clearly visible grooves into the bronze floor.
But that's not all!
Before Norton could even land, Li Yuan had already reappeared behind him in a flash, raised his right leg, and delivered a powerful sweeping kick to his waist, sending Norton flying in an inverted U-shape in another direction.
Then, continue the attack!
Li Yuan kept flashing to the landing point where Norton had been knocked away, and before he even landed, he would knock him away again in a different direction.
Attack! Attack! Continuous attacks!
Norton was completely powerless to resist and never touched the ground again after being punched away.
His body kept changing direction in the air, as if it had no weight, and was continuously knocked away by Li Yuan's kicks, elbows, slaps, and collisions.
boom-
This time, Li Yuan delivered a powerful headbutt to Norton's head.
At the same time, on a spiritual level, the Zanpakuto once again fiercely swept across Norton's body.
Or rather, every physical attack he launched was accompanied by a soul attack.
As Norton's physical body continued to suffer severe injuries, his soul also reached the point of being killed!
"Don't worry, Norton, I'll use your authority properly—" Li Yuan chuckled and threw his final punch.
boom!
With a single blow, Norton was completely knocked unconscious, both physically and spiritually.
The next moment————
Devour, activate!
Norton, who had fallen to the ground, turned into a ball of fire from head to toe and was swallowed by Li Yuan.
The golden light that shone in his eyes illuminated the entire Bronze City at that moment!
