Chapter 228: First Devouring

The soil and rocks condensed into a huge shield.

The face of Shiki the Golden Lion was reflected red, and he was still trying his best to control the soil and strengthen the shield.

A huge fireball with a diameter of tens of meters and extremely condensed fell, and the moment it came into contact with the soil shield, a shocking explosion occurred.

The endless flames expanded and turned into a raging sea of ​​fire, drowning everything.

Crash!

The Golden Lion rushed out of the sea of ​​fire, his long golden hair turned into charcoal, and his whole body was severely burned.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the sea of ​​fire was separated by a black shadow, and a thick tail came whistling.

There was no escape!

The Golden Lion's face was serious, and the long sword on his right leg was wrapped in armed color domineering, and he swung the sword to meet the attack.

The moment of contact, violent power surged like a tidal wave.

With a click, the Golden Lion's right leg broke, and it collapsed thousands of miles away, and the thick tail directly hit him.

Puff!

The broken body flew out like a sack, blood gushed out, leaving blood flowers in the air, but then evaporated by the high temperature.

"Ah!"

The golden lion roared, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he finally managed to regain his balance, regained control of his body, drew an arc, and flew into the sky again.

The sea of ​​fire parted, and Qingmu walked out slowly, with his thick tail dragging behind him, and his four horns twisted into a crown.

The golden lion was breathing rapidly and was in a mess.

"I didn't expect that in just a few years, a strong man like you would appear on the sea!"

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new generation replaces the old."

Qingmu said: "You are old, Shiji."

Shiji, the golden lion, asked: "Little ghost, what is your name?"

"Qingmu!"

"Qingmu, Qingmu."

Shiji, the golden lion, repeated it twice and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Qingmu, you do have some strength, but you are still far from killing me! I am a man who will rule the ocean from the air!"

He waved his arm.

"Lion's might, earth rolls!"

The earth rolled like an earthquake, and rocks and soil condensed into huge lions, surrounding Qingmu from all directions.

"The strength has increased a lot!"

Qingmu's tail twitched, the wind whistled, and a cold light flashed, and all the mud lions were split in two.

He looked up, and his huge body disappeared in an instant, appearing directly next to the golden lion.

When he used the "ultimate form" before, he couldn't use "space shuttle" for various reasons.

However, when he destroyed the drug factory last time, he specifically tested it.

Unfortunately, as he had guessed before, when in the ultimate form, because the power is too strong, the consumption of "space shuttle" will increase significantly.

In the "ultimate form", "space shuttle" cannot be used at will, and every use must be cautious.

Looking at the huge monster that suddenly flashed in front of him, the golden lion sighed in his heart.

"It's really exaggerated."

He knew the ability of "teleportation".

But Qingmu is obviously a fantasy beast of the animal system, why can he also teleport?

Huge size, extreme strength, super defense, plus teleportation, this is a real monster.

"Although he is huge, he is very fast and flexible, but this is the sky! It's my territory!"

The golden lion grinned, took a deep breath, and felt that all the pain in his body disappeared, as if he had returned to his peak.

His figure flashed, dodged the attack, and then retreated instead of advancing, quickly approaching Aoki.

"So fast! The speed has increased so much? Is this, a last gasp?"

Aoki's mind flashed, and he raised his arm again.

The golden lion's figure flashed, dodged all of Aoki's attacks, and went straight to his heart, with his left leg raised high, the long sword wrapped in heavy armed color domineering, and the surface was covered with a layer of flowing cherry light.

"Don't let the latecomers look down on you!"

Puff!

The long sword pierced the outer armor on the surface, and the invisible force penetrated the muscles and penetrated deep into the body, crushing Aoki's heart in an instant.

"So simple?"

Golden Lion was stunned, then realized something was wrong and looked up suddenly.

Aoki looked at Golden Lion calmly and raised his fist.

"High-level Armament Haki?"

Yes.

High-level Armament Haki can penetrate his defense and attack his body.

But he is more than just an excellent defender.

It's just a heart cut, no different from a mosquito bite.

If he didn't have this support, he wouldn't let Golden Lion get close.

"You won't die even if you're injured in the vitals, that's why."

Golden Lion suddenly realized and looked at the fast-approaching fist calmly.

Blood and flesh splattered, a meteor fell to the ground, smashing a deep pit.

Aoki's body slowly shrank and returned to human form, then his figure flashed, came to the side of Golden Lion, and looked down.

Golden Lion was severely burned all over his body, most of his bones were broken, his eyes were closed, and he was dying.

"Fortunately, he's not dead yet."

Aoki breathed a sigh of relief.

He forgot to hold back in the end, and was really worried that he would beat Golden Lion to death with one punch.

After the ability user dies, the devil fruit ability will disappear and regenerate in other places.

Then he will lose a lot.

"What a pity." Aoki showed a trace of regret on his face.

With the strength of Golden Lion and the devil fruit, it is possible to explode a four-star treasure chest.

But last time, he used the skill points to learn "devour".

The first opportunity to explode a four-star treasure chest was missed.

However.

There are gains and losses.

Although there is no four-star treasure chest, he can gain a powerful ability.

The Piao Piao Fruit is undoubtedly the top-level superhuman devil fruit, and it is definitely worthy of a "devouring" position.

In his imagination, the ability of the Piao Piao Fruit is also among the best.

What's more.

Even if you learn the level 4 "Soul of Vengeance", it is only possible to explode a four-star treasure chest, and the probability of a four-star treasure chest opening the Piao Piao Fruit is not high.

Learning "devouring" can stably obtain the ability of the Piao Piao Fruit.

Of course.

The Piao Piao Fruit is not only an ability, but also has a high probability of obtaining a four-star profession.

This is something that "devouring" cannot compare to.

The issue of gains and losses, just turned in his mind, was thrown behind by Qingmu.

Whether it is a profit or a loss, the fact is already like this, there is no need to regret.

Qingmu stretched out his hand and pressed it on the chest of the golden lion.

The body of the golden lion twitched unconsciously.

A moment later.

A drop of blood drilled out of the chest of the golden lion.

"Is this the power of blood?"

Qingmu showed a curious look.

But before he could study it carefully, the drop of blood "whoosh" into his palm.

A surprising heat quickly spread from his right hand to his whole body.

Qingmu involuntarily restored his dragon body.

Human is just a changed appearance, dragon is his true appearance.

Nothing can be seen on the surface, but inside his body, drastic changes are taking place, every cell is transforming, and an invisible force runs through his body.
