Dragon-Headed Jackal King

The Armament Haki receded like a receding tide, starting from Wang Chuan's wrists as if it had reached a certain critical point.

Black and red lightning began to spark, accompanied by tiny flickers of gold.

However, Wang Chuan's attention was entirely focused on the pack of Red-Headed Jackals below, and he did not notice the anomaly in his use of this ultimate technique.

As the lightning began to rage, the Red-Headed Jackals seemed to sense a grave danger; their fur stood on end, and they began to bare their teeth and snarl.

Yet, their gazes remained fixed firmly on Wang Chuan, and not a single one retreated.

At this moment, Wang Chuan's momentum reached its peak. His entire fist was enveloped in lightning formed by Haki, radiating a dazzling golden light as if a small sun were suspended in mid-air.

Wang Chuan looked down with lowered eyes.

"You won't even run? I wonder if you have the strength to take this punch head-on, or if you are just like your kin, perhaps driven by a brutality that far exceeds theirs."

Wang Chuan whispered.

The accumulated Armament Haki reached its limit. Wang Chuan immediately ceased the Geppo he had been using to maintain his flight, and his entire body plummeted toward the ground like a falling meteor.

Seeing this, it was at this very moment that a strange wolf howl echoed from behind the Red-Headed Jackals.

In an instant, all thirty Red-Headed Jackals opened their mouths in unison toward the direction of Wang Chuan's descent, and sparks of light suddenly flashed within their maws.

That's right, as Spirit Beasts—especially high-level ones with a trace of dragon blood—how could this pack of Red-Headed Jackals lack elemental attack methods?

Fire-attribute was their innate talent.

It was just that, compared to being noble mages, these jackals preferred to vent their bestial desires through disembowelment and close-quarters combat.

But now, they were facing Wang Chuan, who possessed the ability to fly.

Under the wise guidance of the Dragon-Headed Jackal King, they finally utilized this talent they had nearly forgotten.

In an instant, thirty fire pillars of varying sizes shot straight toward Wang Chuan in mid-air, clearly intending to incinerate him completely before he could land.

To this, Wang Chuan merely responded with a cold sneer.

Because all the Red-Headed Jackals had already entered his range!

Black Arm Style · Secret Art · Jus--tice! Blast!!!

Roaring the name of this embarrassing technique in his heart, Wang Chuan struck downward with his fist.

In an instant, starting from Wang Chuan's fist, a golden beam of light shot straight toward the ground like a vertically striking bolt of lightning, shattering every fire pillar that approached it.

But! It wasn't over yet!

The reason this move was ultimately named Blast was precisely because it could truly trigger an explosion!

As a skill developed by Zephyr with reference to Conqueror's Haki coating, this move, aside from being able to strike from a distance like Conqueror's Haki, had another property.

If no one could take this move head-on, as long as it was released like an emission of Armament Haki, this highly compressed Haki would act as a natural Armament Haki bomb, capable of producing an effect similar to Garp's Galaxy Impact!

It could be said that as the three great combatants of the Navy's old era, although only Sengoku had consumed a Devil Fruit among the three, all of their ultimate moves shared the common characteristic of a shockwave!

And so, in this fleeting moment.

Before the Red-Headed Jackals could react.

The golden thunder descending from the sky instantly detonated, forming a massive shockwave fifty to sixty meters high that engulfed a radius of several hundred meters.

Under this absolute impact of Haki, the Red-Headed Jackals were struck one by one by the violently raging Haki lightning, shaken, and rendered unconscious!

Subsequently, their internal organs were completely destroyed by the rampaging Haki!

Even the ancient trees caught in the blast had their trunks shattered and reduced to powder by this violent force.

For a time, the forest that had been full of life just moments ago now resembled a war-torn landscape ravaged by missiles, all thanks to Wang Chuan's Justice Blast.

The Red-Headed Jackals hit the ground before Wang Chuan, their spirit power beginning to dissipate unconsciously, looking as if they were either dead or very close to it.

But Wang Chuan didn't even glance at them; throughout his descent, his eyes remained locked on a single direction.

Suddenly, amidst a cloud of dust, a red figure fled rapidly toward the distance.

Wang Chuan's eyes lit up, and his Observation Haki once again locked onto the Dragon-Headed Jackal King that Golden Scale coveted so much.

"Don't even think about running!"

Wang Chuan let out a loud shout, performing Geppo again in mid-air as he chased after the Dragon-Headed Jackal King at high speed.

After a short while, Wang Chuan finally caught sight of this rare Spirit Beast, for which even the Ge Clan had offered a bounty of tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins.

In terms of size, the Dragon-Headed Jackal King was the same as the previous Red-Headed Jackals, standing no taller than 1.5 meters.

But because of the lion-like red mane around its neck and the small deer-like antlers on its head, it looked somewhat more mystical, even if it didn't possess a fully dragon-like head.

Perhaps sensing that Wang Chuan's speed was too great and that there was no hope of escape.

After running for a few more seconds, the Dragon-Headed Jackal King hurriedly stopped, turned around, and let out a fierce howl.

A powerful sonic attack struck, making Wang Chuan feel as if the space in front of him had distorted, causing him to instinctively raise his hand to block.

However, this bit of sonic attack was negligible to Wang Chuan's tempered body.

What truly made Wang Chuan feel somewhat uncomfortable was that this sound wave contained power from other attributes, giving him a bit of a headache.

But that was all there was to it.

Wang Chuan guessed that this might be a rare mental-type ability.

However, his offensive momentum did not falter in the slightest; he continued to exert force beneath his feet to break through the sonic barrier, arriving instantly before the Dragon-Headed Jackal King.

Stomping his left foot violently against the ground, Wang Chuan gathered the strength of his entire body into his right fist once more.

Because this Spirit Beast was intended for himself, Wang Chuan did not hold back in the slightest as he had done when hunting the Earth Crystal Bear.

Coupled with the resentment accumulated over more than a month of searching for a Spirit Beast, Wang Chuan felt that this punch of his.

Was terrifyingly heavy!

Black Arm Style: Intentional Bombing Fist!!!

But as a Dragon-Headed Jackal King possessing the bloodline of Yazi, it was no easy opponent either.

The strength of its enemy completely ignited its ferocity; seeing that its mental attack was ineffective, it attempted to bite Wang Chuan's iron fist head-on with its mouthful of fangs.

Wang Chuan's attack struck first despite being launched later, smashing directly into the front fangs of the Dragon-Headed Jackal King with full force before it could even open its mouth.

Yet, the Dragon-Headed Jackal King reacted with surprising speed, stubbornly clamping its mangled teeth onto Wang Chuan's fist.

Although the Dragon-Headed Jackal King was knocked back a distance by the impact, it relied on its powerful physique to forcibly halt its retreat.

It then quickly attempted to shake its head, intending to treat the tiny human before it just like the weak prey it had bitten to death in the past.

To toss and ravage him at will!

But soon, the Dragon-Headed Jackal King discovered to its horror.

It was actually unable to budge the person before it!
