#538 - Chapter 538 Hunting Time
Jin stood in the center of the battlefield, the surrounding air gradually enveloped by a heavy sense of oppression.
His eyes closed slightly, he took a deep breath, and his body began to undergo strange changes.
Azure-blue scales spread across his skin like ripples, covering his entire body.
His fingertips gradually turned into sharp claws, and traces of electric light flowed between his joints.
His longsword was also dyed with a touch of dragon breath's ghostly blue in this change, and the patterns on the blade flickered with an ancient and mysterious aura as if they were alive.
"Azure Dragon..."
Kuzan murmured in the distance, his expression complex.
He had seen this form before, but never witnessed it on such a brutal battlefield.
Jin slowly raised his head, his vertical pupils burning with fierce fighting spirit.
The air around him began to distort slightly, and faint spatial fluctuations spread like a tide, subtle yet extremely aggressive.
Those who approached him unconsciously took a step back, as if sensing a power they could not resist.
"A true dragon has appeared in the world."
One of the Five Elders in the distance mocked in a low voice, but deep in his eyes, he couldn't hide a bit of fear.
Then.
Without any warning, Jin's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The spatial fluctuations rippled slightly, then returned to calm, as if he had never stood there.
"Disappeared?"
One of the Seraphim, a red-haired girl, looked around, her tone filled with incomprehension and a hint of vigilance.
And in the next instant, a deafening roar came from the distance on the battlefield.
It was the unwilling cry of one of the Seraphim when one of its arms was severed and fell to the ground, the sound of the ground colliding with flesh instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"He's hunting!"
Christopher suddenly realized this, his eyes becoming frantic.
He shouted to the surroundings:
"Everyone gather together! Watch out for his attacks!"
However, before he could finish speaking, there was another slight spatial distortion.
This time, a World Government executive let out a short scream, his chest pierced by a blazing blade of light, and his entire body was directly pinned to the ground.
Jin reappeared, his eyes cold, blood dripping from the tip of his sword.
He didn't say much, his figure disappearing again at the other end of the battlefield.
......
The entire battlefield began to enter a strange rhythm.
Each appearance of Jin was accompanied by the fall of an enemy.
His hunting method was extremely oppressive, swift, precise, like the embodiment of death wandering on the battlefield.
And each spatial fluctuation made the enemy feel as if they were facing a great enemy, but they were powerless to resist.
"He completely changed the battle!"
A New Navy general watched this scene, his heart filled with shock.
One of the Five Elders' voices rang out coldly:
"Don't panic, he won't maintain this state forever.
His stamina..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin's figure suddenly appeared behind him.
One of the Five Elders suddenly turned around, barely using Armament Haki to cover his arms to block.
The moment the two collided, the sound of metal clashing was like thunder, shaking the surrounding air.
"Stamina? Are you mocking me?"
Jin spoke coldly, his tone filled with disdain, and before he could finish speaking, another dragon claw slammed down from the side, directly knocking the Five Elders more than ten meters away.
The Five Elders struggled to get up from the ground, his face covered in dust and blood.
"You家伙,到底......"
He stared fiercely at Jin, furious, but did not dare to rush forward.
The Seraphim collectively adjusted their direction, locked onto Jin's position, and began to encircle him.
But each attack could only capture his afterimage.
"He is no longer just an individual, but a true hunting dragon."
Kuzan's eyes were heavy, but he could not hide a bit of expectation deep in his heart.
He whispered:
"Perhaps, this is our chance to turn the tables."
Jin raised his head, looked around, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved, revealing a faint smile.
"Next, it's your turn."
His voice rang like a war drum, and he once again rushed into the enemy ranks, setting off an even more violent hunting storm.
"We can't let him continue like this!"
Jaygarcia Saturn roared, his eyes revealing anger and anxiety.
He clenched his fists, everything in front of him made him feel humiliated and oppressed - Jin shuttled through the battlefield like a ghost, silent but deadly.
"Does the Azure Dragon Fruit have this kind of ability?"
He wondered in his heart, but his face was resolute.
The surrounding battlefield was like Jin's hunting ground, and they, the Five Elders, had become prey.
This passive feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.
He suddenly turned his head and roared, "Do it!"
Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"Since he is good at hunting in the dark, then I will make this battlefield his grave."
He let out a low shout, his body instantly changed, his strong limbs quickly swelled and extended, and a pair of silver-shining hooves heavily stepped on the ground.
In his centaur form, his body surged with bone-chilling cold, and the ice sword in his hand was like a condensation of the extreme cold abyss, emitting a森 cold light.
"Try this, Jin!"
He raised his ice sword high, and as he waved it, it was like cutting through space, and ice blades rampaged through the battlefield, freezing everything around into crystal clear ice sculptures.
Wherever the ice blade passed, dust turned into frost, and the moisture in the air instantly condensed, forming a cold Jedi.
Each time the ice sword was slashed down, he chose the direction in which Jin might appear, trying to limit Jin's actions through range attacks.
At the same time, Marcus Mars unfolded his transformation.
His arms quickly turned into eagle-like wings, his body covered with漆 black and smooth feathers, sharp crown feathers grew on the top of his head, and a pair of sharp golden eyes scanned the battlefield.
His figure instantly rose from the ground and rushed into the sky, bringing up a strong air current.
"The view from above is clearer."
He whispered.
Marcus hovered in mid-air, his eyes as sharp as a hawk.
His gaze swept across every battlefield area, trying to capture any trace of Jin.
His feathers carried sharp energy, and each flap of his wings would set off a black wind blade, sweeping downwards, blocking every corner where Jin might appear.
And under the ground, Shepherd Ju Peter was not far behind.
His body twisted and swelled, turning into a giant sandworm covered with hard carapace.
The sandworm lurked underground, sensing every vibration on the ground.
His tentacles swayed gently, capturing the faint fluctuations of Jin's movement.
"You can't escape from sneaking under my feet."
Shepherd sneered, his voice low and hoarse.
He paused abruptly, then shuttled underground at an extremely fast speed. Whenever he sensed possible traces of Jin's movement, he quickly rushed out of the ground,突袭 out with the power to tear everything apart.
The rhythm of the battlefield changed instantly.
The joint pressure of the Five Elders made Jin's figure no longer flash at will, and the entire battlefield fell into a strange silence.
However, a hiding hunter will never be easily forced into a desperate situation.
At the moment when the ice blade broke through the air, Jin appeared behind a piece of rubble.
His body flashed, easily dodging the deadly attack, then his eyes narrowed, locking onto Marcus hovering in the air.
"Your vision is too good, but it has become your flaw," Jin whispered.
In the next instant, his figure disappeared again, carrying a faint spatial fluctuation.
This time, he did not appear on the ground, but suddenly appeared behind Marcus.
"You lost."
Jin's voice was low, accompanied by a swift blade of light, slashing fiercely towards Marcus's wings.
A shrill roar came from the high altitude, and Marcus's figure fell from the sky like a bird with broken wings, slamming heavily on the ground, splashing dust all over the sky.
"Damn it!"
Jaygarcia Saturn was furious, and the fist in his hand clenched suddenly.
But Jin once again hid in the shadows of the battlefield, whispering:
"The hunt has just begun."
...
