Han Sen was unable to shake the Dragonâs pursuit, so he stopped running.
Lando came to a stop directly in front of Han Sen. Instead of striking, he just looked at Han Sen and asked, âYou are the Han Sen that the Extreme King want?â
âWould you believe me if I said no?â Han Sen smiled.
Lando nodded. âThen come with me.â
âI could certainly come with you, but could you at least give me a reason that I should follow you?â Han Sen said without moving.
Lando laughed. âIâm Lando. That should be reason enough.â
âYou are Lando?â Han Sen was shocked to hear this name.
Because the factions of the geno universe were so competitive, many people had been bribed by their enemies to betray their race. Some would become proper traitors, whereas others would merely become spies who carried information.
Lando was the most famous traitor in the past few decades. When others became traitors, they usually just sold classified information. But Lando had the gall to cut off the head of his master, who was a deified Dragon. He gave it to the ruler of the Destroyed, who used it as a chair.
Inverse Dragon Landoâs name was known across the universe. When Dragon-culture was discussed, his name always came up. His actions were a shameful stain on the honor of the Dragons.
The Dragons had wanted to kill Lando for a long time, but Lando might have been the greatest half-deified to ever exist. And he always worked with extreme caution. The king of the Destroyed protected him, as well. So far, the Dragons hadnât been able to touch him.
Knowing this story, Han Sen looked at Landoâs back. The man had no draconic wings.
Lando was a pure Dragon, but when he killed his teacher, the dying man had managed to tear off his dragon wings. They had never grown back.
âWill you come with me now?â Lando asked in a gravelly voice.
âIâm not sure if I believe all the legends about you, but no matter who you are or how strong you are, I have to test your mettle for myself,â Han Sen said.
âRight. If I was you, I wouldnât believe the stories about me, either. Itâs a shame that the Extreme King want you alive. If they didnât, I wouldnât have to go through all this trouble,â Lando said. And then, he moved. He tried to grab Han Sen by his head.
Han Sen didnât retreat. He sent his full power into Jadeskin. His body became like ice, and he threw his own palm against the hand that Lando had extended.
The Dragonâs clutching fingers tore through the fabric of space, but Han Sen and Landoâs hands were both bounced backward.
Jadeskinâs ice power hadnât been able to seal Lando. All Dragons had a high resistance to every element, and of course, Lando was no exception to this rule.
The next second, their fists collided once more. The bodies of the two had become deadly weapons. Their fingers, palms, fists, arms, elbows, legs, and knees moved too fast to track. Neither of them would take a step back.
Rather than releasing their power, the fighters exchanged blows of raw physical power. Even that was enough to strain and stretch the fabric of space.
Katcha!
The bones in Han Senâs fingers were unable to withstand that next scary hit. They broke.
Han Senâs eyes widened. His Jadeskin made his body very strong, and although it was only at the first tier, his body was as sturdy as a half-deifiedâs. Lando, however, had been able to break his fingers with a random punch. That was a disturbing amount of power.
Landoâs fists kept coming without reprieve. His eyes were perfectly calm as he unleashed his attacks, but his fists flew like a raging fire. Every punch took Han Senâs full attention.
Han Senâs Jadeskin let out a groaning sound. His arm bones cracked under the next hit, and still, Lando did not relent.
The Dragon wasnât attacking Han Senâs weak spots, though. He was making sure to only strike Han Senâs arms and legs.
âIs this guy going to break all my limbs to drag me back alive?â Han Sen looked at Landoâs face, and he became certain that he had guessed correctly.
âF*ck you! Youâre so cruel.â Han Sen knew that his Jadeskin was too low level. If he had an eighth or ninth-tier Jadeskin, he might have been able to fight against Lando. But right now, he was too weak. If this continued, Lando would completely shatter his arms and legs.
âThe bodies of the Dragons are so scary, but their true talent lies in using Evilbreaker powers, right? Lando is so strong, perhaps the tales are true.â Han Senâs chest was growing tight with tension. He used movement abilities to fight with Lando.
Guys like Lando, who favored raw aggression and violence, usually didnât develop a very sophisticated movement set.
Lando had a very powerful body and amazing strength, and he could usually beat his enemies outright. He wouldnât have to study his enemies before engaging them in combat.
But when Han Sen started to use his movement abilities, he noticed that they didnât benefit him much against Lando. It turned out that Lando could also move pretty well, and in that high-speed magical fight, Han Sen didnât have a single advantage. He had to fight Lando on even footing. After a few more hits, his arms felt as if they were about to break.
Pang!
Landoâs fists came down on Han Senâs arms like hammers. His jade-covered arms had sustained too much damage, and cracks spread across them. When the final blow landed, they were completely broken. Landoâs unstoppable fists flew forward to clobber Han Senâs chest.
Han Senâs chest exploded like water, but the splashing water drew itself back together and reformed. His wounds recovered very quickly.
The Original Water King body wasnât as strong as Jadeskin, but its recovery speed was much better. It was quite useful, after all.
Lando didnât keep attacking. He looked at Han Sen and said, âYou either come with me now, or I turn you into a cripple.â
âYou live up to your reputation, Lando, but that doesnât mean I want to go home with you,â Han Sen blinked and said. âHow about this? Your body is so strong, yes? If you can withstand three of my blows without falling, I will stop fighting and let you take me back. Even if people come to save me, I will not run.â
âSure.â Lando agreed to the proposition without a second thought.
âYouâre a very determined man.â Han Sen gave him a thumbs up.
âGo ahead, then,â Lando said coldly.
âMy three hits require some time to prepare, but in the meantime, I canât deal with your constant attacks. We have a deal. If you fight me before I finish my three attacks, then you lose,â Han Sen said.
âStrike,â Lando said in an emotionless voice. His face was wholly unmoving.
âThat means you are agreeing. Take my first hit, then,â Han Sen said. Then, he gathered up power in his fist. Jadeskin was running at full power, and he used the Yin Yang Blast method to strike Landoâs chest.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lando remained where he was. He didnât dodge, and he didnât run. He allowed Han Senâs punch to fall on his chest.
The punch was silent, but Han Sen had woven his scary ice-sealing power with the Yin Force. It drilled right into Landoâs chest to freeze his organs.
