At the center of the main battlefield, the three-way melee had reached a fever pitch.
Relying on his thick hide and astonishingly regenerative dragon body, Kaido fought entirely by trading injury for injury. Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail, Bolo Breath, Thunder Bagua-he unleashed a frenzied barrage of attacks on Guan Yu and Figarland simultaneously.
