Therefore, Black Dragon usually chooses to sleep at such times, since Liu Ji is unlikely to encounter any danger within this heavily guarded camp.
However, this time, the black dragon suddenly floated out of Liu Ji's body while he was sleeping and entered a weak state. Could it be that Liu Ji died from overexertion?
But when Heilong saw the murder scene and the masked killer, he instantly understood what had happened: Liu Ji had been assassinated!
Most importantly, the masked killer was actually equipped with a system, and that system had already launched an attack on him!
Five beams of cold light instantly pierced the black dragon's body, causing it to scream in agony, "Aww... Lord Enforcer, spare my life!"
Although the opponent did not manifest itself from the host's body, the black dragon was all too familiar with this kind of attack. It was clearly a virus attack from an enforcer, and not just any enforcer. An ordinary enforcer only has one knife, but this one had five!
Therefore, the other party must be an elite among law enforcement officers! They're doomed...
But I clearly modified that module, so other law enforcement officers shouldn't be able to track it. What's going on?
Chapter 163 Dismembered into Eight Pieces
"Enforcer? What the heck?" Hao Jiu was completely bewildered. Could it be that some kind of enforcer also had such a weapon?
Who cares? Just admit your mistake, it's no big deal.
The fact that the black dragon, after suffering so many attacks, still had the strength to beg for mercy is not a good sign.
Hao Jiu gritted his teeth and made the flying knife attack even faster, constantly piercing in and out of the black dragon's body, cutting continuously, clearly imitating the attack method of the red ball.
However, Hao Jiu can only simulate about 10% of the power at present. Whether it is the number of throwing knives or the speed, it is far from comparable to the red item.
Even so, judging from Black Dragon's performance, the damage inflicted by those five throwing knives was quite considerable. Hearing his screams and pleas for mercy, one could even feel a sense of satisfaction from the revenge.
"Hurry up and die! I'd rather have a bunch more blue pills than not kill this black worm with my own hands! Kill!" Hao Jiu controlled five throwing knives and had already cut the black dragon all over, but the black dragon's body was too huge, and it was difficult to cut it to pieces with just five knives.
The reason was that the speed was not fast enough to achieve the effect of instant kill. Black Dragon did something, and the wound healing was obviously accelerated.
Black Dragon stopped begging for mercy at this point. He had realized that his opponent was determined to kill him, but for some reason, his opponent did not seem to be attacking with full force.
"Looks like I've been underestimated! Hmph! Arrogant and conceited enforcer, you'll regret this soon enough!" Thinking this, the black dragon twisted its body wildly and floated into the sky.
"God of Wine, hurry up, the Black Dragon's weakened period is about to end!" Xiang Yu couldn't help much, so he could only remind Hao Jiu in his heart.
"I'm afraid it's too late. Execute the backup plan!" Hao Jiu felt that he could no longer imitate the chaotic slashing of that red prop. This would not kill the black dragon at all. So he had to try Hao Jiu's own method.
The advantage of throwing knives is their extreme sharpness and ability to absorb the opponent's energy, but their disadvantage is also obvious: compared to the black dragon's body, the throwing knife is too small.
The red item compensates for this weakness with its quantity and speed, allowing for instant kills with a flurry of attacks.
Hao Jiu now wants to make up for this weakness by using special methods, such as a blade array!
Although the black dragon's body is enormous, it is still rectangular in shape overall, and its cross-section is not too thick.
Hao Jiu controlled five throwing knives, arranging them in a ring at equal intervals around the black dragon's neck. The five knives then rotated rapidly and penetrated deeper into the neck. When the five knife tips met, the black dragon's entire head would be severed.
Of course, the black dragon can also freely change the location of its core modules to avoid attacks, so even if its head is cut off, the black dragon may not necessarily die.
"Awooo!" The black dragon also realized Hao Jiu's purpose and immediately struggled violently in terror.
Unfortunately, the five flying knives had already pierced his body, and no matter how the black dragon twisted its body, it was to no avail. One of its huge dragon heads was about to fall off.
"Want to kill me? Not so easy!" The black dragon seemed to have gone mad. If it could just hold on a little longer, the weakened state would be over. The opponent thought it could slay a dragon with just five small knives? That was just wishful thinking.
A flash of red light appeared, and the black dragon's neck was restored to its original state.
Of course, only the surface of the black dragon's neck has healed; the internal blade array is still cutting.
Hao Jiu snorted coldly, "Change formation!"
In an instant, three of the five throwing knives began to cut outwards, and two cut inwards. Since the inner circle was smaller, it naturally didn't require as many knives, and the wound on the outer circle had just healed and wasn't very thick, so three knives were enough to cut it open.
Puff puff puff...
"No!" the black dragon screamed in agony, its entire head about to fall off.
Suddenly, Hao Jiu felt the two throwing knives cut into something hard, as if they had hit bone, but the black dragon's body had no bones.
However, Hao Jiu immediately realized that the Black Dragon's period of weakness had likely ended, and it was now able to mobilize the venomous insects within its body for defense.
"One knife trying to block five? Cut it off!" Hao Jiu changed tactics again, and four throwing knives cut from different directions at the same time, bypassing the poisonous insect and severing the last connection.
Click!
A huge dragon head fell down silently, and then...
A headless black dragon accelerated upwards and pierced through the top of the military tent.
Bang!
A tiny dragon head sprouted from the severed neck of the black dragon. "I will avenge this day! You just wait! Hehe, if you've got the guts, let your host fly up and chase me! Ha... Ah?"
Before Heilong could finish speaking, Xiang Yu suddenly flew towards him from below!
"Hiss... No way! How could humans from a lower ancient plane possibly fly!" The black dragon exclaimed in shock, "A portal to another dimension!"
Swish, swish, swish...
Hao Jiu's throwing knives once again slashed at the black dragon, clearly intending to cut it in half.
The black dragon was terrified. He wasn't afraid of being cut in half at the waist, but he was afraid that the human host could fly. But the black dragon soon realized that the human had only jumped high and was now falling.
"Hahaha... Goodbye!" The black dragon laughed triumphantly. It was no easy feat to escape with his life from a weakened state. This enforcer must be a fool!
A black vortex gradually formed, and the portal to space and time finally opened. The black dragon couldn't wait to twist its body and burrow into the cave, ignoring its lower body and just wanting to transfer the core modules to its upper body.
Just then, the black horse swooped down and caught Xiang Yu as he fell, then stood in front of the portal.
The black dragon's eyes widened. "A flying horse? You're cheating! How could such a creature exist in a lower plane! Could you be...?"
"Oh? Why can't I have it? Can't I have the ones I brought back from a higher plane?" Hao Jiu didn't stop throwing knives as he spoke. After cutting off half of the dragon's body with five knives, he aimed at the mini dragon's head and kept stabbing it.
The black dragon dodged left and right, cursing, "Bullshit! Even if you went to a higher plane, you couldn't possibly subdue this kind of celestial horse, and you certainly couldn't afford it! Wait a minute! This horse looks familiar, and your voice sounds familiar too! It's you!"
"You only just recognized me? Too late!" Hao Jiu said, forming a ring formation again, intending to cut the black dragon in half once more.
"Damn it!" The black dragon felt extremely frustrated. It was too difficult for a system without a host to turn the tide in a system battle. It couldn't even break through a system with a host.
Moreover, he had expended too much energy to repair his body when he was weak, and now he could no longer withstand too many of the opponent's random attacks.
If the other party can hold him off for a while, the portal will close automatically, and he'll be doomed.
escape!
Black Dragon knew his only chance was that the Pegasus wasn't fast enough. If he could shake off the pursuers or create enough distance, he could escape using a portal.
But Hao Jiu wouldn't give the other party a chance, relentlessly following behind and constantly cutting them off.
The black dragon's appearance at this moment was quite strange. Not only did it have a mini dragon head in front, but it also had a mini dragon tail growing out of its back. The key point was that its body was still so thick and strong, giving people a strange sense of humor.
"Where do you think you're going! Prepare to die!" Hao Jiu shouted, closing the distance between them. He controlled the blade array to cut off another section of the dragon's body, but the little tail reappeared behind the remaining section of the dragon's body.
"We're all part of the same system, why be so ruthless? Let's make a deal, you spare my life, and I'm willing to become your vassal!" Black Dragon lamented inwardly, knowing that if things continued like this, he would probably be torn to pieces!
"Alright! Stop now, let's talk about the terms!"
Chapter 164 Energy Depletion
Black Dragon dared not stop, and could only try to negotiate with Hao Jiu while fleeing. But as they negotiated, Black Dragon, which had already been cut very short, was now less than a meter long. No one would recognize it as a dragon. To the naked eye, it looked more like a water vat or a large drum.
However, being smaller also has its advantages; it's much more flexible, making it much more difficult for Hao Jiu to cut the Black Dragon in half again.
Of course, Hao Jiu felt that he had cut enough, so he changed tactics again and began to cut the black dragon's skin with one slash after another, as if he were using an ancient form of torture called slow slicing to kill it.
Hao Jiu had learned his lesson from not having a host before; even such a small wound caused him to lose energy continuously. How much energy could this black dragon possibly consume?
At most, it's only a little over ten thousand points!
Hao Jiu felt even more distressed thinking about this, but in order to save a red instant-kill item, spending more than 10,000 energy points was a good deal.
When fighting the first plane, I didn't expect to save red items, so the second plane was already the poorest of all the black dragon clones. Even if I used red items to kill it instantly, I could only get a little over 10,000 energy.
Therefore, the black dragon in this dimension is the ideal target to save on instant-kill items.
And so, the black dragon met a tragic end. No matter how hard he tried to reason with Hao Jiu, he couldn't convince him. Little did he know that Hao Jiu's mission was to kill him, and that no amount of reward would be too great for him to miss out on. Besides, the black dragon's offer might not be particularly generous.
"Human! Are you determined to kill me today? You will regret this!" the black dragon roared.
"You'll regret it even more if I don't kill you!" Hao Jiu had already chased the black dragon far away and couldn't help but admire its vitality. At the same time, he became increasingly eager for the red item that could instantly kill the black dragon. The more than 10,000 energy points he spent were well worth it.
"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death! Time portal!" The black dragon gritted his teeth and opened another time portal.
However, the five flying knives immediately flew to the place where the time portal was formed and blocked it. At the same time, the black horse suddenly accelerated and caught up with the black dragon in an instant.
Black Dragon was shocked. It turned out that his opponent had been hiding his strength all along. If he had the speed, he would have caught up with him long ago!
Thud!
Hao Jiu grabbed the black dragon's little tail. "Come here!"
"Ah!" Black Dragon screamed in terror as Hao Jiu dragged him away. His size had shrunk to its limit, and every part of him was a core system. Once he abandoned himself, he would be close to death.
However, being close to death is better than dying immediately, and the core system on the tail is arguably the only part of the core that can be reluctantly discarded. "Sever the tail!"
*Snap!* The black dragon's little tail suddenly broke off, and the black dragon used this opportunity to smash its round body directly into the portal!
Hao Jiu smiled coldly, as if he had expected this. He clenched his fists together and slammed them down on the black drum.
Thump!
With a muffled groan, Black Drum fell to the ground, and in an instant, five throwing knives inflicted several more wounds on Black Dragon.
After using the second portal, the black dragon had almost no energy left and was powerless to reverse the situation.
"You brat! You'll regret this sooner or later... You'll pay with your life sooner or later! Hahaha..."
"You're overthinking it." Hao Jiu pinched the black dragon's head.
Just then, the black dragon's energy was finally exhausted, and it died from depletion of energy.
"Is he dead?" Xiang Yu asked.
Although one side could only passively flee, Xiang Yu witnessed a war of gods. If it weren't for the fact that his black horse, Wuzhui, had the ability to fly, the black dragon might have actually escaped.
Of course, if Hao Jiu didn't have the Pegasus and five throwing knives at his disposal, he wouldn't have dared to take this risk; he would have definitely used the items to instantly kill the Black Dragon.
