"Hey, aren't you looking down on our Kunlun Corporation too much by fighting on the streets like this?"
Prodigal Swordsman spat out the toothpick in his mouth and leaned against the wall with his sword in his hands.
Demon Dragon stared at Yang Xi silently.
There was a conflict between West Chicken and the Sakura Group?
Did they have a relationship between them?
Demon Dragon glanced at the two halves of Sasaki and the dozens of meters long blade mark on the ground and mused to himself.
Killing a Grade-C Esper with one strike?
This fellow's strength was indeed fearsome.
Even though the two of them were standing there casually, both Yang Xi and Snow Maiden felt as if they were unable to extricate themselves from the situation. Meanwhile, the only Grade-C Esper Shadowmeld, was trembling in fear. If he were to stand in the path of four Grade-A Espers, he would probably die on the spot.
In fact, Yang Xi was not feeling any better than Nailang at this moment. Although he had many Esper Abilities, other than the Grade-A Rebirth, the strongest Esper Ability he had was only a Grade-C at the moment. Furthermore, he could only use his mental Esper Ability and Metal Transformation Esper Ability with the identity of West Chicken. He could not even use Clone to escape. If not for the fact that he had Rebirth this redeeming Esper Ability, he would definitely not be able to be as "carefree" as he was now.
"Coach Ge, who do you think Prodigal Swordsman and Demon Dragon will choose to attack first? Is it the black-masked man with the Cursed Blade Murasama or Snow Maiden from the Sakura Group?"
Coach Ge said, "That's hard to say. A Hero's goal is to control the situation. I think they will first get rid of the weaker side. Of course, with Demon Dragon's personality, he might attack both sides."
"Ahhh! I'm dead! Brother Demon Dragon is so handsome!"
"Demon Dragon! Demon Dragon! He's the handsomest in Deer Harbor!"
Demon Dragon's fangirls had also rushed to the comments section's battlefield. Animations of yachts and rockets were being gifted as though they did not cost money.
Hat Emperor looked at the rapidly rising gift earnings and was overjoyed. Although their commission from the gifts were very low, if they met a popular hero like Demon Dragon, the earnings from one livestream would still surpass the earnings they can get from livestreaming many other Heroes. This was also why he especially liked Demon Dragon, Glacier Hero, and the other young and handsome powerful Heroes.
Of course, there were also many fans of Prodigal Swordsman. But most of them were young men. If it wasn't a livestream featuring beautiful female Heroes, these male fans would be quite stingy when it came to gifts. Even if they supported their idol, they would only gift some fish balls, magic swords, and the like. At most, they would buy some meat floss pancakes from Prodigal Swordsman's Pixie Shop, or buy the shampoo or shaver endorsed by him. Hosts like Hat Emperor wouldn't get a single cent from this.
Therefore, during the commentary, Hat Emperor would ask the director to give Demon Dragon more screen time.
At this moment, Demon Dragon was wearing a black battle suit, and he stood almost two meters up in the air as he looked down at Snow Maiden.
"It's fine if your Sakura Group is arrogant in District Six, but to cause trouble in District One, who gave you the guts?"
A vast expanse of snow drifted down from the sky, and Snow Maiden who had been exuding a domineering aura appeared extremely petite before Demon Dragon.
Nairang retreated behind Snow Maiden and said, "Lady Snow Maiden, it looks like we won't be able to take back the Cursed Blade Murasama today. Why don't we retreat first? Even if the leader blames us, he won't punish us too harshly because we're facing three Grade-A Espers."
He then glanced at the body of Sasaki who had been cut in half at the waist, and said with some sympathy, "Besides, Sasaki has already displayed his loyalty to the leader. It's the wisest choice for us to preserve ourselves."
Snow Maiden looked at Yang Xi with an indignant expression, but the two Grade-A Espers behind her also caused her to have a wary feeling.
She took a deep breath. "Demon Dragon, I can leave Deer Harbor City immediately, but we have to take back what our organization came for."
Demon Dragon smiled. "I don't intend to let you leave Deer Harbor City."
He then turned to Prodigal Swordsman, and said, "I'll leave Snow Maiden to you. I'm going to test out this West Chicken first."
Prodigal Swordsman hesitated. "Didn't you say you wanted to recruit him into the company? Are you going to attack him?"
Demon Dragon walked over slowly. "He has to pay back the debt he owes to my brother."
Looking at Demon Dragon who was emitting an unknown black gas from his body, Yang Xi recalled the information about this guy.
Demon Dragon was a metamorphosis type Esper. Currently, he has shown a total of two types of metamorphosis ability to the public. The first phase of his metamorphosis was Lesser Dragon Transformation. Protective black scales would appear on his face and important parts of his body. In that state, he had strong elemental immunity and physical resistance. For the second stage, his height would grow to 2.5 meters. His strength and speed would also be greatly increased.
"You're called West Chicken, right? I heard that you can remove other people's Esper Abilities. Why don't you try it in front of me now?"
Demon Dragon instantly disappeared from his original spot. Like a bolt of black lightning, he directly captured Shadowmeld and threw him in front of Yang Xi.
"Don't bully people too far!!!" Snow Maiden flew into a rage, and the temperature around her plummeted as a Blizzard Tornado swept towards Demon Dragon.
A clang rang out as Prodigal Swordsman unsheathed his sword. With a flick of his wrist, the tip of his sword stabbed into the ground. A wind wall quickly appeared in front of the Blizzard Tornado. These snowflakes that could instantly dismember a person were actually unable to move an inch in front of the wind wall.
In the livestream room, Hat Emperor let out a series of "Wow wow wow" exclamations.
"This is one of Prodigal Swordsman's moves—the Wall of Sighs. It's said that it can render all projectile-type abilities useless. Even the Grade-A Snow Maiden won't be able to break through this wind wall!"
Prodigal Swordsman flicked his ponytail and said coolly, "Your opponent is me."
Snow Maiden glowered at Prodigal Swordsman. "Spare my subordinates! We can leave immediately!"
Prodigal Swordsman shook his head, "Sorry, none of you can leave today."
Snow Maiden burst into laughter upon hearing this. She quickly formed a hand seal before exhaling a mouthful of white mist.
In the Heroes livestream room, Coach Ge broke out in a cold sweat for the Heroes. "This is Snow Maiden's Absolute Zero. Even a Grade-A Hero would be frozen into an ice sculpture if they were hit directly!"
"Isn't that similar to the ability of Glacier Hero?" Hat Emperor asked humbly.
"No, it's different. Glacier Hero's abilities are more suited for close combat, while Snow Maiden is more suited for elemental attacks. However, in terms of the power of the Frost Qi, Snow Maiden's is stronger than Glacier Hero's."
"So you're saying that Snow Maiden is more powerful than Glacier Hero?"
Hat Emperor's strategy was really good. With one sentence, the fans of Glacier Hero in the livestream became agitated.
"What right does a retired livestream trash Hero like you have to criticize our Cancan?"
"Don't you know how hard our Cancan worked?"
"Glacier Hero is a warrior-type Esper, while Snow Maiden appears to be a mage-type Esper. I don't think it's a good idea to compare them at all. If the two of them really encountered each other, our world's best Cancan would definitely win."
Coach Ge looked at the lively comments and didn't pay attention to the flamers in the livestream room. At his age, he had seen all kinds of situations. If he didn't even have this bit of psychological endurance, how could he still be a commentator, especially one doing a Hero livestream in District One.
The First District's haters were second only to the Seventh District's haters in terms of trolling. Internet bullying was just a common occurrence in his line of work.
"Everyone, open your eyes and look closely. If nothing goes wrong, Prodigal Swordsman is going to use his famous technique soon. This technique is very fast. If you're not careful, you'll miss it!"
The moment his voice rang out on the livestream, a blinding white light suddenly erupted on the street. Prodigal Swordsman had made his move!
