Chapter 469: Arclight Dragon's Imprint

"[Dragon's Triumph]!" As Li Feng thrust forward with his longsword, a dragon of light rushed toward Moyan before being swallowed up by the black flames that emanated from his eyes. Not only were the black flames able to devour light-attuned energy, it even absorbed light from all around.

"[Daybreak]!" Li Feng transformed into a bolt of light that darted around the black flames and appeared beside Moyan. His sword gleamed with white light as a white dragon seemed to materialize around its blade.

Moyan slapped the blade away with a palm, then sent black flames roaring up all around him.

Li Feng pressed one hand against Moyan's head as he darted to his side, trampling Moyan's back with his feet. Black flames trailed Li Feng's path, but he once again vanished out of sight in a flash of white light.

This was a battle of speed: would Moyan's gaze reach Li Feng first, or would Li Feng kill Moyan before that? White light clashed against black flame. Moyan ignored his subordinates as flames filled the entire battlefield, swallowing everything whole.

The hunters realized that they wouldn't be of any help in Li Feng's battle against Moyan, and they fled from Moyan's flames. The sura seemed to have come to the same realization, and they too rushed away.

"[Light Dragon's Remnants]!" Li Feng's hands moved so quickly they were hardly visible, sending countless dragons of light flying out toward their prey. The dazzling light struck Moyan's black flames, and they absorbed the light once again.

"[Daybreak]!" A white dragon emerged from the heavens. As Li Feng slashed forward with his sword, the dragon swooped down toward Moyan.

Under the effects of [Daybreak], the dragon moved so quickly that it landed even before Moyan could raise his head.

Almost out of instinct, Moyan took a step back. The white light cut downward, scoring a line of blood down Moyan's forehead and cheek. The black flame in Moyan's eyes exploded, wrecking his vicinity.

Li Feng barely escaped from the explosion with the speed boost from [Daybreak]. Nevertheless, black flames caught on several patches of his clothes, which Li Feng immediately cut off to avoid their spread.

Moyan slowly walked out of the sea of flames as though nothing had happened. The wound on his face cut across his left eye.

As fresh blood continued dripping down his face, he said, "You're the first one in many decades to have hurt me even after I've summoned my black flame."

Li Feng smiled. "Your flames might be strong, but you can't summon their like endlessly. As far as I know, you'll have to sacrifice something every time you summon them—how many sacrifices do you have left?"

"Very many, I assure you." Moyan spread an arm, revealing the inside of his cloak. Vials of green liquid were stored in the cloak's many pockets, each of which contained a pair of eyes.

Li Feng couldn't help but shiver at the sight.

Moyan replied, "Among the sura, our clan is special. We can burn off our eyes in order to produce black flame that can burn all things. My eyes were burned off while protecting my fellow kin. To be frank, it isn't a particularly useful talent—you can only use it once in your entire life, and you'll become blind afterwards."

Li Feng didn't reply. He was secretly amassing more and more light-attuned genetic energy, and a barely visible membrane of light covered his skin.

"Only when I met my godfather did my life change. Not only did he allow me to see once more, he even imparted me with a secret technique that allowed our kind to change our fate, turning a useless talent into a ridiculously strong one."

With the help of the monarch of stars, the technique no longer required Moyan's eyes—but any pair of eyes he was able to procure.

Moyan glanced thoughtfully at Li Feng's eyes, which were glowing with serene light. "Your eyes aren't too bad themselves. If you hand them over to me, I'll let you and your troops leave."

"Do you think I'd agree?" With a roar, bright light burst from Li Feng's body, and a somewhat rough suit of dragon armor covered his body. The energy that Li Feng had stored up was now released in one fell swoop. "Take this—[Arclight Descension]!"

With a shout, the armored Li Feng suddenly waved his left arm, causing a gigantic claw to materialize from motes of white light. It pierced the heavens and crushed down on Moyan.

Moyan's eyes burnt once more with black flame. He directed a baptism of fire at the claw, swallowing it up whole.

The gigantic dragon's claw rent apart the ocean of fire, causing Moyan to frown. He continued bleeding from his eyes as the pitch-black flames morphed into demons that leapt out from his eye sockets and fended off the claw from afar.

Vial after vial of eyeballs was consumed as Moyan threw everything he had against the gigantic claw, but nothing was enough.

The hunters were shocked. They had expected to die in sacrifice for Renhuang, that it would be impossible for them to hold off the sura king Moyan for long. After all, if it were so easy to defeat a sura king, Zhang Lie wouldn't have become famous for dealing with two in quick succession.

They believed that their role would be to delay as long as they could until reinforcements were sent from afar—at least, until they saw Li Feng fight.

No one had expected that the members of Team Zenith, like their leader, could actually take the upper hand against a sura king.

Their opponents, the sura kings, were existences no human could go against before Zhang Lie—but here was another hunter who could! It even seemed as though Li Feng would be able to kill Moyan outright.

The dragon's claw, ignoring all the techniques Moyan threw its way, descended on his head.

"[Descent of the Demon King]!" Half of Moyan's robes caught on fire, and the vials within burst open. Moyan ignored it all. The dark flames morphed into a black demon's claw, which resisted the onslaught of the white dragon's. The interaction of the dark flames and white light caused space all around to fluctuate wildly.

The demon's claw began to crush the white dragon's.

The sura fighters cheered from afar.

"As expected, there's no way his highness could be defeated by a human!"

"He had to have been playing with the human just now—but he's making use of his true skill now!"

"Just you wait, humans—you'll all die!"

The black flames roared as they burned toward Li Feng, and it looked as though his life was in peril. However, with a low shout, Li Feng began radiating white light from his body, refining his armor and revitalizing his reserves of energy. He waved his left arm again, summoning a brilliant, blinding totem of light in mid-air.

"[Birth of the Holy Dragon]!" A pure-white dragon appeared behind Li Feng's back, the brightness so intense everyone had no choice but to shield themselves from it. It tore apart the demon's claw with a casual swipe, then sent a fusillade of light against Moyan...
