Norton had only had this feeling when facing one existence, whose name was Nidhogg, representing the ultimate mystery of the world.
-----------------
The fifth degree of blood burst is far more dangerous than the fourth degree, and it is also more difficult to enter. Lu Mingfei's bones are shattering and reorganizing. That is his genes collapsing. The hematopoietic stem cells that were originally growing wildly and vigorously in his body now seem to be humming under the pressure.
The scales covering his body were opening and closing like scallops at high tide, and the thick white steam was the result of his blood being evaporated by the high temperature.
Lu Mingfei has realized that the Norton in front of him is not the Old Tang he encountered last time. He is the King of Bronze and Fire, the greatest monarch in the history of the dragon clan.
His return, if unchecked, would mean the re-establishment of the Dragon Empire.
But in addition to anger and determination, Lu Mingfei's blood-red pupils also showed a little confusion.
On the flying car named Midgard Serpent, Norton clearly showed his kindness towards ordinary humans.
For him, it doesn't matter where the war starts. He is the king of bronze and all metals are subject to him.
That railroad track, like a real earthly python, will become his best weapon.
Norton clearly didn't want Su Xiaoqiang and the others who were riding on the same train with him to get hurt.
Could it be that creatures like dragons also value those illusory friendships?
But is it really possible for an ordinary person to develop a relationship with the king of the dragon clan? Lu Mingfei didn't know, and he had never heard of any related historical events.
But no matter how friendly Norton had been to humans, now they were real enemies on the battlefield. If the sword broke, then bite it with your teeth and tear it with your nails. The fight between dragons and humans was unscrupulous, this was fate, an unchangeable fate.
The last stage of the road to becoming a god was much more difficult than Lu Mingfei had imagined. His body was collapsing, his will was gradually blurring, Norton's claws were tearing his body, and his flesh and blood finally stopped healing. The tracks that melted into molten iron were like billions of stars suspended in the sky, and they slowly turned into the shape of swords, all aimed at the dying boy.
"Brother, you can't do it. Five degrees of blood burst, you are still missing something." Lu Mingze was still wearing the armor, with his arms folded, standing in front of Lu Mingfei. He looked down at Lu Mingfei with a condescending look, and Lu Mingfei's mouth was torn into an ugly smile.
"So we're exchanging? It was like this last time, so it should be the same this time." Lu Mingze opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug someone. But Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. He looked past Lu Mingze's body and looked behind the boy.
A heavy sigh sounded slowly from this crumbling space.
The little devil's cute face suddenly became so hideous, and his facial features seemed to be distorted.
"People who mess up things are the most annoying!" He hissed, almost biting steel between his teeth. Then his expression changed again, becoming clever and obedient again. "But since the old guy can't help it, it seems that I won't have to take action this time."
At this moment, Norton finally stopped attacking Lu Mingfei's back with his blade claws. In just this moment, Lu Mingfei's body was almost healed. His potential was completely squeezed out, and his words of not wanting to die were exerted to an unprecedented degree. It seemed that as long as his nerve center or heart was not destroyed instantly, he would be truly immortal.
Do kings or gods have such healing abilities?
Is "Don't die" really some kind of dragon language rather than a direct order to the world?
Before Lu Mingfei could finish his thoughts, he saw something like an evil ghost following the long sigh. Two bright candles like ancient lamps were lit behind Norton. They were a pair of eyes, a pair of cruel eyes of an ancient dragon.
Lu Mingfei laughed so hard that he coughed up blood.
He knew it, he knew it! The forbidden technique of Blood Rage originally came from the Lionheart Society. Even a guy like Senior Brother who had learned it without a teacher could push Blood Rage to the third or even fourth degree. There was no reason why Angers, a true S-level and the most powerful dragon slayer in a hundred years, couldn't do it.
At this moment, Ange looked like a pale evil ghost. Under the state of the third blizzard, the scales on the principal's body that pierced through the skin were sharp and pale blue. At this moment, the old guy stepped into the fourth stage of the road to deification, and large patches of white totems emerged on the surface of the pale blue scales.
Those white patterns are chaotic, yet they contain the majesty of an ancient emperor.
Angers' muscles were undulating and twisting, his knees were twisted, his face bones were hard and jagged, his red-gold pupils were like flaming lava, and membrane wings of pale blue and white appeared behind him. It was an indescribably noble creature, like a combination of an angel and a demon.
The folding knife in Ange's hand exceeded the speed of sound at the moment of swinging, and even reached several times the speed of sound. The terrifying sonic boom effect occurred less than half a meter away from Norton.
The blade of this folding knife flashes with scarlet light, which is the light of the Philosopher's Stone. This purest spiritual element extracted from the body of a pure-blooded dragon is a deadly poison to a dragon, and the blade is extremely sharp.
In a hurry, Norton only had time to solidify the thick molten iron into hard steel to block the blade and his body, but after entering the fourth blood burst, Angers' time zero domain was further evolved.
Now even Norton can't ignore his Time Zero in his current physical form.
The feeling of the folding knife cutting through metal and piercing into limbs could be clearly felt from the handle. Angé exerted force in his hand again, and the hot, scarlet dragon blood with a red-gold color gushed onto his body.
This folding knife, which was made from the fragments of Menek Cassel's family sword, finally entered the Dragon King's body again after a hundred years.
It cut through the king's muscle fibers with unparalleled strength and sharpness, penetrating into Norton's body several centimeters deep, until it finally stopped when it touched the keel that was as hard as diamond.
Just as the poison in the blade was about to spread, Norton blocked his own blood vessels and locked it around the wound.
He roared like a wild animal and punched Ange in the stomach with his elbow.
After only three heavy blows, the principal vomited a large amount of blood, and his golden eyes became dim.
He was originally a speed-type dragon slayer, and in the previous fight with Norton, the Dragon King did not touch his body at all. But at this moment, he was hit suddenly and hard, and his internal organs were almost shattered.
But Lu Mingfei also seized the only chance. He roared and screamed, and smashed Norton's chest fiercely with his fists. The King of Bronze and Fire was smashed into the building full of steel support structures like a flying meteorite.
He struggled to get up from the ground and looked at Angers in doubt. At this moment, both of them looked like real ancient dragons. It didn't seem like a gaze between people, but more like a gaze between dragons.
But Ange actually winked at him.
Lu Mingfei was suddenly shocked.
It is incredible that there is still a gleam of humanity in the principal's golden eyes that are comparable to those of a pure-blooded dragon. You have to know that Chu Zihang has completely lost his human will by only pushing the blood violence to the third degree, and has transformed into a Deadpool who only knows destruction and fighting, and he uses his last consciousness as a human to fight with Jörmungandr.
At this moment, Ange has truly reached the fourth stage of the Road to Deification, but he is still able to retain his complete human will. This means that he has found a way to break through the critical blood limit with human will. It is truly a cross-century discovery!
This is the ultimate secret that countless people have risked their lives for for thousands of years, and now this ultimate secret is in Angers' hands!
"The method I used to break through the critical blood limit is not replicable, and I believe the same is true for you." Angé coughed out fragments of his internal organs. He and Lu Mingfei leaned back against each other and kept watch on the surroundings. There were creaking sounds coming from everywhere, and the entire building was crumbling. Once thousands of tons of steel collapsed, it would be difficult for them to survive.
"Some things are not the right time to tell you, but you will eventually grow up, Mingfei, we have always been optimistic about you. After I die, you will probably really become the leader of the survivors. At that time, all the secrets will be opened to you. You may even think that those files are really annoying. It will take eleven months to finish reading them even if you read them ten hours a day."
"Principal, this is not the time to talk about this. If nothing unexpected happens, we might have an accident today." Lu Mingfei said. Every minute and every second in the fourth degree of blood burst state was consuming a huge amount of physical strength of him and Ange. This forbidden technique could not be maintained for too long.
Once the blood-rush period is over, the dragon king can easily kill them.
It's sad to say that the two of them are the strongest hybrids in the world. If they join hands, each of them holding a machete, they can probably defeat half of the secret party from Scotland to Western Siberia, sneak into Japan to carry out sneak attacks, assassinations, infiltration and subversion, and maybe even destroy the Snake Hachika. But now they are facing such an embarrassed situation when facing a young dragon king who has just awakened.
"The gap between the second generation and the first generation is indeed not as simple as the gap between the third generation and the second generation. In hundreds of years of human history, only Menek Cassel has a record of defeating and killing the Dragon King, but he also paid the price with his life. We still underestimated the king." Angé said.
At this time, Norton was still hiding in the chaotic steel structure support that built this huge tunnel. He was like a cheetah escaping into the darkness, ready to eat its prey.
"Come to think of it, Principal, don't you find it a little strange that Norton clearly showed his concern for Zhao Menghua and the others on the Courtyard Serpent. He didn't want our fight to affect those ordinary people." Lu Mingfei's body had almost recovered, and now he had the strength to continue taking the beating. He glanced around, his golden pupils were frighteningly bright, but he could actually see nothing in the dark.
"This may confirm a conjecture." Ange said, "Dragons, or the kings of dragons, may not be without emotions. They may be influenced by the bond between them and certain humans and do things that are not in line with the violent logic of pure-blooded dragons, such as the death of Attila, the King of the Earth and Mountains, and Norton's behavior just now. Damn it, if I can return to the college alive, I will make those tenured professors study this topic as soon as possible."
"Then do you think it's possible for the Dragon King to fall in love with a human? I mean, just like Attila did in the past."
"Ming Fei, I have to say that your thoughts are very dangerous." The principal whistled. His facial features were so hard and his expression was so cold, but his eyes were full of ridicule and mockery. "But if one day you can abduct a first-generation female dragon from the dragon clan, please tell me. I am very interested in this kind of abnormal cross-species love. If you can have healthy children... I think biologists all over the world will want to know how you broke the reproductive isolation."
"I don't know why I suddenly don't want to talk to you." Lu Mingfei said.
At this time, a man's chuckle was heard in the darkness.
"Dragons are the same as humans. When they first come into this world, they are all ignorant and penniless children. Of course we have emotions, but creatures like you don't understand the emotions of dragons. Human lifespan is too short, so short that we are completely unable to have empathy." Norton said.
The red and milky white field spread out around him. He stretched out his wings and dodged all the metal around him, like a subject meeting his monarch.
What a noble and beautiful creature it was, he displayed the Holy Cross, his body was ferocious and hard, his entire body was covered in hard scales, those scales were flowing with a beautiful luster, the luster of bronze and blazing flames, as if they were made of dark metal.
The sharp bones growing from the joints protrude from the surface of the body, but they are not bloody. Instead, they are full of violent beauty. The dragon-like muscles slowly rise and fall under the scales, and the bones all over the body make slight crackling sounds.
The great Majesty, Norton, finally put aside his contempt for the power of metal and flame...
Fully open!
Endless steel was collapsing, but the steel did not fall down. Instead, it seemed to soften and moved around Norton like a snake. The red-hot molten iron was like a rainstorm in stagnant air, completely illuminating all the darkness. It was like being in the starry sky!
Chapter 72: The Eternal Sorrow (1)
The shadow of the steel support that had not yet been destroyed was shaking, and the branches of flowers in the vase at the entrance of the tunnel were also shaking. At this time, the building was actually destroyed, but it was Norton who kept it from collapsing.
It was very quiet all around, and the metal and molten iron in Norton's domain seemed to be suspended in defiance of gravity.
More sunlight streams in, and the place is as quiet as a windy afternoon.
Lu Mingfei looked up at the swaying branches.
There is no wind.
There was no sound of wind outside, but the branches of flowers were swaying violently. This was not a windy afternoon at all. Angé suddenly grabbed Lu Mingfei by the collar of his neck and lifted him up. The branches of flowers were swaying more and more violently, and the ground was shaking slightly.
The shrill sound of sirens suddenly swept across the entire Six Flags Amusement Park.
Something had triggered the air raid sirens.
Almost at the same time, Lu Mingfei was taken outside by Angre. After four blood bursts, the old guy was able to push Time Zero to an unprecedented level, and even Wang could not stop him.
The king didn't bother to stop him.
He is here, he can stay if he wants to, and leave if he wants to.
The next moment, Lu Mingfei was so shocked that his jaw almost hit his feet.
He saw more than a dozen huge cannons recklessly crashing into the interior of the amusement park, and those 120mm smoothbore cannons belonged to M1A2 SEP-Abrams main battle tanks with the totem of the flourishing world tree painted on the surface and spewing billowing black smoke!
These steel monsters are the most advanced land warfare weapons today, and the main battle tanks of the US armored forces. Each one is incredibly expensive to produce, weighing up to 67 tons each, and moving on tracks.
If hit head-on by such a creature, even the weaker second-generation species would be smashed to pieces.
It was not an earthquake just now, but the tanks moving at high speed and shaking the ground. The secret party would do anything to slay the dragon. At this moment, the tank engines made a deafening roar, and all the gun barrels were aimed at the bottom of the "Atrium Snake", which was the tunnel building made of steel support structure.
The weapons deployed by the academy are far more than tanks. The roar of helicopter rotors can be heard in the sky. Those are Apache helicopters purchased from Boeing. The equipment department has modified them. Now these guys have more powerful firepower than before, and they are equipped with high-yield amalgam air-to-ground armor-piercing bombs.
The compartments of those heavy container trucks also burst open, and fully armed troops walked out from them.
Half of the North American branch of the executive department is concentrated here.
This was a premeditated hunt, but the people at the center of the vortex were unaware of it.
Lu Mingfei and Ange's blood rush ended the moment they appeared in the sunlight. They were both people who could maintain their human will and break through the critical blood limit. The blood rush would cause a great burden on their bodies, but would not harm their spirit.
In other words, if he wanted, Ange might be able to enter the fourth blood burst at any time, but that would probably not be without cost. At least now Lu Mingfei keenly noticed that the principal's back was a little hunched, and he looked not so young anymore, but a little old.
After all, the principal is already 130 years old, so it is normal for him to be old.
The immortal thing can be a god, a ghost, a demon, or a dragon, but it is definitely not a human.
"Oh!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed in admiration. He suddenly looked at Ange and said, "Principal, why didn't you just issue the task? If I had known that we had such a strong backing, I would have given that old man Norton a good beating."
He confirmed again and again that the relationship between Norton and Ronald Tang was very distant at this time, probably equivalent to past life or present life, and there was almost no connection.
Thinking back to what Lu Mingze said, Lu Mingfei felt that he should probably make some decisions.
Destiny is a fork in the road. When you choose someone, you are giving up another person.
If he chooses Lao Tang now, it would be equivalent to giving up Eri.
That was an irreparable mistake. Lu Mingfei was of course a selfish person. He would do anything to correct a damn mistake, even his own life, let alone...
Norton?
