192 Escape and Destruction ? (2/2)

Right now, she took advantage of Zhao Yao's momentary shock to rush towards Nessie. She fished for her only spare earplugs and put them on for him.

There was only one person she could save and she had to be smart about it. Only Nessie's offensive capabilities and shape-shifting stood a chance at victory.

”How is this possible?! Elizabeth's power has reached a point where I can concuss them with one hit and yet, she stands,” Zhao Yao thought in disbelief.

His train of thought was disrupted when he noticed movement from the heap of fallen fugitives. Nessie had opened his eyes and transformed himself into a jet of water. He cut through the air, heading straight for Zhao Yao.

”Yes!” Sun Meng cheered.

The jet of water was fast, furious, and deadly. It was powerful enough to pierce through flesh and steel. There was no way Zhao Yao could escape now.

She watched as Zhao Yao casually waved a hand. The movement was small, but the impact it made was immense. The sphere of energy that left his palm collided with the jet of water in midair, which resulted in a loud explosion.

Sun Meng's jaw fell open as the powerful stream disintegrated into pelts of water that fell to the ground like rain.

”No!” she cried, ”This is impossible!”

Nessie's high-pressure jet could cut through steel. How could it be stopped so effortlessly?

Zhao Yao clenched and unclenched his fist, a satisfied grin on his face.

”The deflective field is perfectly malleable. It can cling to my skin as protection, but it can chalk up some serious damage too. Rapidly contracting, then expanding it, will launch a rush of destructive energy at the opponent. If Ho Hao Cang used it this way, he would've been a lot harder to defeat. But I guess he couldn't risk doing that at the expense of exposing his other supercats to damage.”

The waterworks that fanned out in the sky regrouped in no time, this time in the form of a dragon. It let rip a loud roar before speeding towards a nearby fire hydrant.

Zhao Yao clenched his fist again, unleashing Elizabeth's power. It had no effect on the dragon.

The reason for this was simple. This skill attacked the brain. It warped the target's senses and derailed their grip on reality. In liquid form, Nessie lacked a brain that Zhao Yao could affect.

The dragon hurled itself at the fire hydrant once, then twice, then thrice. It kept going until it was finally knocked to the ground.

A gushing tower of water immediately shot skyward. The dragon snaked around it, gradually merging and melting into it. It grew and ballooned in size, eventually emerging as a 10 meter tall, 1-meter wide dragon, a malicious look set in its eyes.

”Little worm, you are messing with the wrong guy,” it stated.

A deafening whirring was sounded. There was a rumble in the sky as a massive whirlwind formed around the dragon.

Sun Meng held her face in her hands as the gusts of wind repeatedly whipped at her. She felt like she was about to be lifted into the air.

”Goddamnit!” Ah Wei swore as he looked up at the intimidating dragon in the sky,

He shouted into his phone, ”You guys better get here right now. That waterbending idiot is going batsh*t crazy. He's going to destroy the entire street.”

Zhao Yao remained silent as he watched the dragon circle the sky, drawing closer. He curled his fingers into his palm and a ripple ran through the defensive field tightly wound around him.

As it charged towards him, he did not run.

He seemed unfazed by the fact that this dragon was made up of ten tonnes of water. It was enough to flip a truck or crush a person to death.

All he did was to raise his right hand, which was clenched into a fist, and throw a punch towards it.

”Jesus Christ, has this kid gone mad?” Ah Wei thought to himself, his heart hammering against his chest.

He was gaping at the scene unfolding before him. He wanted to speak or to yell at Zhao Yao to run, but all the words were stuck at the base of his throat.

Zhao Yao's punch launched a force field in the direction of the dragon. It headed straight for its target. When it made contact with the dragon's head, it exploded with a boom.

It was as if a bomb had gone off. The dragon's form disintegrated, reducing it to showers of water that fell to the ground like raindrops.
