Ange's blade struck the face of the dragon-shaped corpse guardian, causing the massive creature to be thrown backward. The enraged domain exploded upon impact with the dragon-shaped corpse guardian, sending transparent shockwaves scattering and scattering all the surrounding corpse guardians.
The dragon-shaped corpse guarded the high platform, and Angers jumped up and landed on the dragon's neck.
At this moment, Angers had entered his dragon-man mode, with horns on his head, a tail behind him, bluish-gray scales covering his body, and bone spurs piercing through his skin.
"Third-degree blood explosion..." Chu Zihang, who was daydreaming not far away, glanced at the principal. He didn't expect the old man to be so crazy, starting the blood explosion directly from the third degree!
The Lionheart Society's secret techniques are not Chu Zihang's exclusive domain. The Lionheart Society survivor from over a hundred years ago was extremely skilled at using Blood Explosion.
Zhang Qiong and Caesar were also astonished; it was the first time they had ever seen the principal in his blood-bursting form, and it was truly brutal.
Angers was now unable to reach the dragon-shaped corpse. According to his research, the corpse had three fatal parts: the head, the spine, and the nerve ganglia.
He first stood on the neck of the dragon-shaped corpse guardian and plunged his large sword into its cervical vertebrae. Then he ran down its spine from the neck, slashing the dragon-shaped corpse guardian's vertebrae with his enraged sword, causing bone fragments to shatter. Black blood plasma shot up behind him as he ran.
Angers' dragon-slaying method is similar to Lu Mingze's; both start by attacking the dragon's nervous system and then use weapons to destroy its spine.
Because its nervous system was severely damaged, the dragon-shaped corpse guard could no longer support its massive body and could only lie prostrate in the seawater. However, it was not completely dead and could still use its tailbone to cause damage to the surrounding things.
Angers found the enormous ganglion near the sea surface. It was the second brain of the dragon, with thick nerve fibers extending in all directions, controlling the lower half of the dragon's body.
Angers pulled out the Roaring Fury and plunged it into the lumbar vertebrae of the dragon-shaped corpse guard. Then he stepped on the hilt, and clear spinal fluid gushed out.
"That old man is a madman!" Zhang Qiong said admiringly, looking at Angers' figure.
Caesar and Chu Zihang also saw the principal's heroic figure and in their hearts praised this crazy old man.
"How much longer?" Caesar asked Chu Zihang.
"The startup program has been entered. Three minutes... no, two and a half minutes!" Chu Zihang replied.
The dragon-shaped corpse was making its last struggle. It could not support its body to stand upright, but it could still crawl. It planned to climb onto the high platform and turn around to kill Angers.
But Angers was in high spirits at this moment, because the shore-based combat base had saved him most of his energy, so he still had energy left to fight. He charged toward the dragon head in a rage, ready to give this big guy the final blow.
But the dragon-shaped corpse guard did not sit idly by and wait for its death. It continued to thrash and struggle, and kept climbing and dodging!
Angers gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to activate the Word of Power: Time Zero once again. Taking advantage of the time gap, he jumped onto the dragon's head and plunged his knife into the dragon's skull.
However, the skull of the dragon-shaped corpse guard was exceptionally hard, and Angers did not immediately thrust his fury into it. Instead, the corpse guard's head began to tumble, intending to throw Angers into the sea.
If they succeed, Angers will probably not have the strength to make another attempt.
Just then, a lithe figure suddenly leaped down from the sky. After landing, he grasped the rage in one hand and then used force to pierce the skull of the dragon-shaped corpse guard completely through the rage.
His left hand still held the Greedy Sword that Angers had put down earlier, which he then plunged into the head of the dragon-shaped corpse guard. The nature of this "sucking sword" was to drain the life out of the wounded. A large amount of spinal fluid was squeezed out and gushed out from the hilt like a fountain shooting into the sky.
The giant dragon-shaped corpse finally collapsed with a crash, and the dragon's brain dried up at a visible speed.
Soon after, the dragon-shaped corpse's life force was completely extinguished; its swollen muscles rapidly deteriorated, and it reverted to a withered skeleton. Just as Angers climbed onto the platform, the massive corpse plunged into the sea, splashing water tens of meters high.
He was panting heavily and glanced at his old friend beside him.
At this moment, Uesugi Kotsugu changed into a handsome black trench coat, with a large number of ancient swords on his back in a travel bag. His eyes were calm as water, like a king who looked down on all living beings.
He was no longer the sleazy figure he was when he sold ramen; now he was like the former movie star, looking down on everything.
This emperor learned dragon-slaying skills from a young age; selling ramen was just a side job. The Snake Clan has always been the guardian of Japan, and it still is in his generation.
Even Angers was intimidated by the domineering aura he exuded.
"Didn't you leave Tokyo?" Angers took advantage of the lull and plopped down on the ground, yelling as he asked.
Uesugi Kotsushi then realized he wasn't there to show off and immediately asked Angers loudly, "Tell me quickly, who is my son?"
Angers retorted, "Didn't you say you wanted to sever the royal bloodline and let it end with your generation? Why aren't you disappointed now that you have a son?"
"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly." Uesugi Yue suddenly drew his sword and chopped down a dead servant with one strike.
Zhang Qiong then leaped onto the platform and joined Angers. She wasn't too tired, and in order to give Angers some time to rest, she began to observe the surrounding area.
This high platform can also be used to defend the area.
At this point, Angers tells Uesugi Kotsugi that his son is the head of the Snake-Headed Hachi family, and the imposter he thought was actually a test-tube baby created from the genetic sample he provided to the German Third Army during World War II.
"Huh?" Uesugi Kotsushi seemed a little confused. A genetic sample from decades ago had actually created two sons for him, and the process of creating them was even omitted.
However, in terms of bloodline alone, Uesugi Kotsugu's bloodline is far superior to that of Genjiro and Genjiro. Human science is still not advanced enough to completely replicate the bloodline of dragons.
Angers told him that if he didn't believe it, he should get a paternity test, but there was a high probability that it was true.
Uesugi complained a bit. He had come all this way, but he couldn't even see a picture of his son, which was really disappointing.
So he could only ask Angers if his son was handsome, stubborn, intelligent, and had a girlfriend.
Angers replied that both sons were handsome. The older brother was more resolute, while the younger brother was a bit effeminate. Both were quite handsome, and both were very stubborn. The younger brother was smarter than the older brother, and both were very popular with girls, especially the younger brother.
With his younger brother being a gigolo, how could he not attract girls? However, Angers didn't mention his son being a gigolo for the time being, especially since his two sons were probably fighting each other in the Red Well, and it was possible that only one of them would survive, or neither of them would survive...
"Stop talking, you two." Zhang Qiong then killed another zombie guard that was trying to climb onto the platform. "Those two kids have already planted the bombs. We should go and meet up with them."
At this moment, the Corpse Guardians also began to surround them. Angers had lost a lot of blood in the previous battle, which greatly attracted the Corpse Guardians.
"Yes, let's leave first." Although Angers was exhausted and his body was weak after the third blood explosion, he still had some strength left.
Uesugi returned the greed and rage to Angers, carrying a large number of ancient Japanese swords on his back.
These swords were looted from the family's sword museum when he ran away from home. He originally planned to sell one or two when he had nothing to eat, but later he found that selling these cultural relics and swords was a very troublesome thing. If he was not careful, the Snake Clan would find out and would have to bring him back to be some kind of patriarch.
So he has kept these swords and knives all this time, and today they are finally being put to good use.
"Come on, I'll lead you out of here." Uesugi Kotsushi drew his long sword and drew a circle with the blade against the horde of corpses in front of him.
"Be careful." Angers pulled Zhang Qiong aside to prevent her from being affected by this forbidden power of words.
That circle is perfect. From a scientific point of view, since pi is an infinite non-repeating decimal, current science and technology cannot draw a perfect circle. A perfect circle only exists in theory and does not exist in reality.
But everyone who sees the circle drawn by Uesugi Kotsugi is amazed, and their intuition tells them that it is a perfect circle.
This circle is Uesugi Koshi's forbidden Word of Power—Black Sun!
Chapter 507 The Forbidden Door Has Been Opened
Uesugi Kotsugu stood in the very center of the black sun, chanting ancient and solemn dragon script. At this moment, he was no longer the sleazy ramen noodle shop uncle, but rather a majestic Buddha statue in an ancient temple.
Everyone present was involuntarily drawn to this scene, as if witnessing a miracle.
A human body was able to unleash a domain that only a Dragon King possessed.
The black sun slowly began to spin, swallowing up the air at an astonishing speed and causing a violent hurricane.
In an instant, the wind direction near the artificial island was changed by Uesugi Kotsugi!
The debris of buildings and sea water were swept up by the strong wind and headed towards the black sun.
The corpse guardians were also affected by the hurricane. They gripped the ground tightly to avoid being carried away by the hurricane, but the wind still pulled their long tails into the air, creating a bizarre and inexplicable sight of countless snake tails swaying in the sky.
The black sun suddenly contracted, and the suddenly intensified gale pulled a large group of corpse guards over. Before they even reached Uesugi Kotsugi, they were already ignited by the high temperature, like burning charcoal.
Uesugi Koshi strolled forward, slashing his sword to shatter the burning corpse guardians into pieces. The fragments turned into snow-white ash upon touching the edge of the black sun. The black sun pulled hundreds of corpse guardians toward him, their serpentine shadows completely obscuring him before disintegrating.
This incantation gives the impression that the caster created a small black hole, devouring all life forms within the domain and turning them into extremely fine dust, much like a 'discriminate space shredder'.
Angers and Zhang Qiong protected Uesugi Yue's back. The only weakness of the Black Sun was its back, but with the two of them protecting it, Uesugi Yue was able to forge ahead fearlessly.
On the other side, Caesar and Chu Zihang were also surrounded by corpse guards. Fortunately, the two had not exhausted themselves beforehand and still had the strength to fight. Chu Zihang unleashed his Sovereign Flame, and the huge fire shockwave blasted away all the dead servants around him.
"Clear the battlefield and bring them over," Chu Zihang said to Caesar.
Caesar understood immediately, and withdrew a Philosopher's Stone bullet of 'Burning Blood' from the hilt of Dictator's sword, firing it at the center of the horde of corpse guards.
Wherever the bullets went, deadly flames immediately ignited in their path, affecting all the corpses around them and setting them ablaze.
The Word of Power: Black Sun had dimmed by this time. Uesugi Yue was still leading the way with the two of them, but the three of them stopped in front of a deep ditch that was more than ten meters wide.
The trench was already covered by seawater. Beyond the deep trench was the crane where Caesar and Chu Zihang were located. A helicopter could pick them up from here.
Due to the sea breeze, helicopters cannot reach their location for rescue, as they would be affected by the crosswinds from the coast, making the helicopters prone to loss of control.
They were unable to cross the deep ravine, which was teeming with zombies. Humans were simply no match for the zombies in the sea, unless it was Erii.
"Be careful, there's something else in the ditch!" Zhang Qiong warned, and then a ghost-toothed dragon viper suddenly leaped up from the ditch and bit Uesugi Yue's hand.
Uesugi entered his dragon bone state, his body becoming as hard as a rock. The Demon Tooth Dragon Viper could not bite into his bones, but it could still damage his skin.
He crushed the demon-toothed dragon viper in his hand, then looked around and said, "Looks like there's no other way. I'll just throw you over there."
“And what about yourself?” Angers asked, looking at him.
“I’m here to save you, because only you can protect this world where my son is, and I’ve had enough of living…” Uesugi said as he prepared to lift Angers up.
But Angers refused: "There must be other ways. We are not exhausted yet."
Although Angers had suffered three blood loss incidents, he still had enough stamina. However, the Corpse Guardians had already surrounded him, along with a large group of Ghost-toothed Dragon Vipers!
In some ways, the Ghosttooth Viper is more troublesome than the Corpse Guardian because it is small, like a small fish, but its teeth are very sharp and can bite through bones. It can also burrow into a person's body to eat their internal organs.
A large group of Ghost-toothed Vipers were in the water, and their figures could also be seen in the shallow water. At this moment, there was no time to hesitate. The Ghost-toothed Vipers were already swimming around, waiting for an opportunity to attack and eat the three of them.
Without hesitation, Zhang Qiong drew the Dragon Slayer Sword and unleashed the Word of Power: Indra's Wrath!
Instantly, a dense electric grid spread outwards from the three of them, and electric arcs began to attack the underwater Ghost-toothed Dragon Vipers and Corpse Guardians. The Ghost-toothed Dragon Vipers within a radius of fifty meters were all stunned by the electric arcs. At the same time, several lightning balls patrolled behind Zhang Qiong, attacking the Corpse Guardians who were surrounding them.
The giant ball of lightning exploded all around, blasting away all the surrounding corpse guards and temporarily clearing a vacuum area.
However, they still dared not swim down into the deep ditch, because Zhang Qiong was afraid that the power of words would affect him, so the electric net was not at its maximum output, and there might still be Ghost-toothed Dragon Vipers at the bottom of the ditch.
Zhang Qiong sheathed the Dragon Slayer Sword and glanced behind her: "The Corpse Guardians are about to surround us again. We need to make a decision quickly."
“I’ll just throw you over there!” Uesugi Kotsugu once again proposed his plan.
Angers, of course, disagreed.
Uesugi Kotsushi planned to take advantage of Angers' inattention and throw the old man over there, thus making it a fait accompli.
But at that moment, a figure descended rapidly from the sky. Judging from her figure, she was a girl. All five people present turned their gaze to this suddenly appearing woman, wondering why she was there and what her purpose was.
Zhang Qiong looked at the short-haired girl. She had a pretty face and was lively and cheerful. She felt like she had seen this girl before, but she couldn't remember her for a moment. However, she was certain that this girl had never been around her son, otherwise she would definitely remember her.
"Don't worry, everyone, I'm Gu Ran's friend." The girl said in a low, husky voice, then quickly ran to the three of them, forming hand seals as she ran, and then slapped her hand on the shallow water.
The next second, a series of tremors seemed to come from the bottom of the trench, which was more than ten meters wide, as if something was rising from the bottom of the water.
After a while, everyone finally saw that earthen walls had actually risen from the bottom of the ditch, just like dominoes being stacked in the ditch.
In a short while, about twenty earthen walls rose up from the bottom of the water, each wall rising to a height of about twenty centimeters above the water surface. The gap between the earthen walls was about fifty centimeters, enough for a person to tiptoe across the deep ditch!
