You Can't Hit Me!

King suddenly slashed his blade toward Jie Jian.

A massive flaming dragon descended from the sky, carrying a heat wave capable of destroying heaven and earth as it devoured Jie Jian, determined to crush this intruder upon Kaido's territory!

Yet he remained utterly motionless!

The information brought by Adaptive Evolution flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

King's sword trajectory, the flow of the flames, the connection between the dragon's head and body—all of it
