Chapter 130: Annihilation

Yue Longze continued to close in, and vaguely, he could already perceive something through his white eyes.

"The remnants of the Dark Five..."

Yue Longze sneered; he was not surprised by this. Since Belial was on this terrifying planet riddled with volcanoes, it was only natural for his subordinates to be here as well.

"Stop hiding and crawl out! You three eyesores!"

Yue Longze shouted without a hint of courtesy, yet Alien Mefilas and the others remained unmoved. Their goal was not to engage Yue Longze in combat, but to stall for time. They knew that fighting Yue Longze would yield no advantage. As long as they could buy time for Lord Belial, who was nearing the completion of his evolution, that was all that mattered. Once Lord Belial finished his evolution, he would surely thrash Yue Longze and avenge the Hipporito Alien and the Alien Empire who had been killed by him.

"Since you won't come out—then I'll drag you out myself!"

Yue Longze was arrogant. Since they had delivered themselves to be beaten, and he didn't know why Belial was currently dormant, he decided to vent his frustration on his underlings.

"Whoosh!"

Yue Longze thrust his right hand forward, launching a blue palm-energy wave that immediately smashed into the giant volcano to his front-left, where Alien Mefilas and his cohorts were hiding.

"Boom!"

How could an ordinary volcano withstand such a blast, even if it were only a minor palm-energy attack?

"Retreat, quickly!"

Alien Mefilas roared, immediately flying backward. The Alien Grodas and Alien Deathre also retreated instantly, dodging the spraying debris and earth. The active volcano began to erupt immediately. The mountain, now mangled by Yue Longze’s strike, could no longer contain the boiling magma. It began to spill recklessly; in the blink of an eye, it covered the surrounding surface. Looking from afar, the horrifying fire-red landscape bubbled continuously, rising with wisps of white smoke.

"Kid, do you really want to do this?"

Alien Mefilas hovered in the air, his body slightly hunched, hands behind his back as he spoke calmly. Behind him stood the fierce-looking Alien Grodas and Alien Deathre. Yue Longze merely snorted in response, but the iron fist he threw forward served as his answer.

"Bang!"

Yue Longze did not like to waste time during a fight; the faster he ended the battle, the more he could eliminate potential unforeseen factors. In the television shows and movies he had watched in the past, many people died simply because they talked too much during a fight.

Alien Mefilas’s expression darkened. He had not expected Yue Longze to give him no opportunity to stall. His face sank, and along with his two companions, he charged to meet the surging Yue Longze.

Even against three Dark Kings at once, Yue Longze remained fearless. He possessed powerful martial arts techniques and the formidable Jinglong Sword Style. While he could not effectively perform martial arts in the air, he could still utilize the Jinglong Sword Style with great efficiency. He unleashed a purple-black energy blade, and as the Jinglong Sword Style unfolded, it left Belial’s three lackeys dazzled and confused. Even without his light-based form, he was still more than capable of handling these so-called Dark Kings.

As the strategist, Alien Mefilas felt a sense of relief in his heart. Was Yue Longze’s strength not as great as it had been when he fought Lord Belial? Glancing at the black markings on Yue Longze’s body, Mefilas concluded that it must be related to his current form. This abrupt black form did not seem as powerful as his previous, normal-colored one. However, Yue Longze remained strong, and the three of them combined were still struggling.

Yue Longze was acting recklessly; he wanted to kill these three lapdogs of Belial. Alien Grodas and Alien Deathre excelled in freezing and fire, respectively. Facing the "ice and fire" combination they created, Yue Longze felt it was slightly troublesome.

"But this is nothing!"

Yue Longze roared, using the energy blade on his right hand once more to slash out waves of sword-like energy, which struck toward Alien Grodas and Alien Deathre like ribbons of light.

The intense battle in the air did not last long before Yue Longze consciously pulled the battlefield down to the ground. On the ground, his combat effectiveness would be even greater. This stretch of land was far from the volcano he had destroyed, with only a small amount of magma present. Yue Longze retracted his energy blade, preparing to use powerful martial arts. Combined with his "Ghost Step," his Cosmic Fist technique was devastating. On the ground, Yue Longze’s advantage became even more pronounced.

The aftermath of the battle caused several more nearby volcanoes to crack, and magma began to flow again, making the planet even hotter. This was a one-sided fight—a battle of absolute crushing power. Alien Mefilas and the others felt miserable, praying incessantly for Lord Belial to complete his evolution soon, or they would truly not be able to hold on much longer.

"Hah!"

Yue Longze stomped his foot, causing the earth to tremble. The surrounding magma was briefly forced backward, and he leaped high into the air. He was going to use his finishing move.

Leo Kick!

This was the Leo Kick in his dark form. Even if it was not as powerful as the Light Leo Kick, its destructive force was still enough to annihilate any one of these three lackeys of Belial.

"Hya!"

His right foot was wrapped in blazing flames as he streaked across the sky. The Leo Kick seemed to gain even more intensity on this magma-covered terrain. Yue Longze’s target this time was Alien Deathre, who specialized in fire. Facing such a fierce and lethal strike, the usually taciturn Alien Deathre showed a hint of panic. He hurriedly raised a fire curtain of moderate size above his head to protect his vitals. Seeing this, his friend, Alien Grodas, immediately and hastily set up a defensive layer made of ice for him. As for Alien Mefilas, he had been struck in the abdomen by Yue Longze earlier and could barely stand.

"These defenses are useless against me!"

As Yue Longze roared, his attack landed.

"Pow!"

Yue Longze’s strong, powerful right foot met the two defensive layers of Alien Deathre directly. The raging flames on his right foot instantly melted the ice defense layer hastily set up by Alien Grodas, and the fire curtain constructed by Alien Deathre was also pierced through by Yue Longze’s sharp assault.

As expected, Alien Deathre died. He was pierced through from the top of his head by Yue Longze, leaving him in a gruesome state.
