Pokémon: My Dad is Kyurem

Chapter 36 The Determination to Protect, the Purple Monster

After the exit was kicked open by Liehuang, many Steel-type Pokémon charged towards it at the same time. Soon, only Qihao, Xiaotie, Liehuang, Cangyan Rengui, and Zhang Zengsong's group remained in the arena.

"( ' - ' * ) Captain, shouldn't we leave these elves alone?" Xia Jie watched as all the elves left and was about to chase after them, but he didn't dare to move without Zhang Zengsong's permission.

"The materials aren't important; what matters is the result." Zhang Zengsong's gaze remained fixed on the Azure Flame Blade Demon. It had instantly killed the Bronze Bell, a dojo-level opponent, with a single sword strike, indicating that the result was quite impressive.

Liehuang was the first to press the Poké Ball on the side of his belt, instantly breaking through the level 70 mark. He charged forward and delivered a straight punch straight to the face of Elite Four member Bronze Bell, who immediately erected a barrier in front of him!

However, the barrier formed by superpowers was completely ignored by him, and a fist radiating dark energy struck him squarely in the face!

"Malicious pursuit!"

The bronze bell, already pressed against the wall, had no way to retreat and absorb the force, and the dark energy made it dizzy. Seeing this, it used its hand-like iron rod to brace itself against the wall and unleashed a powerful attack without even aiming. At such close range, Liehuang had no choice but to cross his arms to take the hit head-on, and was knocked back again. The two were locked in a fierce battle for a time.

Seeing that the battle had already begun, Zhang Zengsong stopped hesitating and shouted, "Divine Bird, attack fiercely!"

Almost the instant the order was given, Steel Raven flew out, like a black arrow aimed straight for Qi Hao's head!

Qi Hao, however, simply raised his hand and stretched it straight forward. The moment they made contact, a layer of ice solidified on his hand.

The bird's beak pierced through the ice and nearly pierced through Qi Hao's hand, but Qi Hao gripped it tightly and punched it in the chest with his other fist!

A tremendous force erupted from the Steel-Armored Raven's chest, sending it flying backward. However, it spread its wings in mid-air to steady itself, its hawk-like eyes fixed on Qi Hao. Although it wasn't seriously injured, Qi Hao's strength far exceeded its expectations.

Drops of blood flowed from Qi Hao's palm, but were quickly frozen by him, his clenched teeth revealing the pain in his hand.

"Caw! (Strange fellow, knowing there's no way to dodge, he chooses to take the hit head-on! And his strength is unprecedented!)" Corviknight praised with a hint of admiration, but as he spoke, he launched another attack.

"Oh? It seems you've gotten a little interested too? Then feel free to do as you please." Zhang Zengsong didn't blame the Steel Crow for taking the initiative to attack; his smile only deepened.

This attack was much slower, clearly not a fierce assault from the divine bird, and Qi Hao instinctively tried to dodge.

"Look behind you, you should know what the consequences will be, right?" Zhang Zengsong's voice rang out again. Qi Hao's pupils shrank upon hearing this. The Azure Flame Blade Ghost behind him was their target, and even if they didn't attack the Azure Flame Blade Ghost, they could turn around and attack Xiao Tie.

Left with no other choice, Qi Hao could only adopt a defensive stance.

"Caw! (Aren't you being too optimistic? Do you think I'd let you defend?)" The Steel Crow, halfway through its attack, suddenly changed direction and charged straight at Little Iron. "Caw! (If you defend against him, you won't have time to defend!)"

Just as Steel-Armored Raven had anticipated, Qi Hao had no time to defend himself in order to block his attack on Little Iron, and could only take the blow without any defense!

But Xiao Tie leaped towards his opponent in mid-air, his hands assuming a defensive stance! "(＞д＜) Jin! (If Big Brother can't defend, then I will!)"

Steel Raven was slightly surprised, but its attack didn't stop. It could just finish off the little guy directly.

Xiao Tie took the hit head-on. The expected scene of Xiao Tie being seriously injured did not occur. The hit struck the watch, and an explosion occurred immediately. All the items that were originally inside scattered all over the ground. The suddenly expanding space bounced Xiao Tie and Steel Crow away. The impact force offset most of the attack, but the watch was also destroyed and flew away.

"Caw! (What is that!)" The Steel Crow was taken aback for a moment, but then launched another attack. It didn't believe that this could happen twice!

Although the previous attack was neutralized, the remaining portion still left Xiao Tie completely disoriented. Even though Xiao Tie was incredibly tough, it couldn't withstand this blow. Seeing this, Qi Hao pounced over, trying to push Xiao Tie away.

But halfway through the attack, the clanging sound of metal striking metal came from the ceiling. Just before the attack hit Little Iron, a huge figure appeared. Steel-Armored Raven suddenly retreated, and a large blue fist fell from above. He had a premonition that this blow would take half his life.

"(?°?д°?) Jin! (Dare to touch my son! Mountain-shaking strike!)" (Arm hammer + earthquake, with a knockdown effect as well)

With a violent tremor, the Metagross leader made its grand entrance. Its attack shattered the ceiling, its power undiminished, and even blasted a large crater into the alloy floor. Corviknight stared at the hole above, sunlight streaming through it.

“(? ? 皿 ?) Jin! (Zhang Zengsong, you bastard! You dare mess with my son!)” Unexpectedly, the giant gold monster leader recognized Zhang Zengsong, who was sitting in the center in front of him.

"Isn't this Metagross, who's served me for three years? What brings you here? What, aren't you on your honeymoon with your recovered wife?" Zhang Zengsong's face showed some surprise, but seeing the Metagross leader's expression worsen after he said that, he realized he had misspoke.

"In that case, Steel Raven, take him down!"

Upon hearing this, Corviknight's wings turned metallic, and it slashed at Metagross Leader like a sword. Metagross Leader countered with Bullet Punch, and the fist and wings collided, creating a shockwave. However, Metagross Leader's level had reached 78 in the past five years, and its base stats were also higher.

The Corviknight was directly repelled, but Corviknight, in the end, still lacked martial ethics and launched another sneak attack on Qi Hao and Xiao Tie. Sure enough, Metagross leader blocked the attack head-on, but when it was hit, it grabbed Corviknight's wing and flew out of the base. He had worked for Zhang Zengsong for three years, during which time he learned that Corviknight's fighting style was ruthless and that it was necessary to keep it away from Qi Hao and the others.

After the Metagross leader took Corviknight away, only Qi Hao and his two companions remained in the arena, along with Liehuang and Bronze Bell, who were already locked in fierce combat with Zhang Zengsong and his group.

"Life is truly unpredictable," Zhang Zengsong sighed, then took out another Poké Ball. "Why don't you come out and play too? It would be a shame otherwise."

A red light flashed as the spirit was released, and a Slashing Commander appeared before Zhang Zengsong with its arms crossed. In Qi Hao's eyes, the level of the Slashing Commander was beyond imagination: lv79! The limit of the Heavenly King level!

"Commander... (Is it my turn?)" The expressionless Commander Pi Zhan merely uttered a sound, but to Qi Hao, it sounded like a viper spitting its tongue, making Qi Hao panic. Even Xiao Tie, who was already exhausted, swallowed hard at this moment.

[(＞▂＜) What's wrong with this guy?!]

"(???w?′?) His defining characteristic is oppressiveness. If you want to alleviate that, think of your godmother; she's much better than him."

[(o﹏o?) Huh? Okay...okay then.]

However, before Qi Hao could even accept the system's method, Commander Pi Zhan had already appeared in front of him as if by teleportation.

"Si? (So you're the one blocking my way, kid. But if you want to live, I suggest you don't stop me.)" Whether it was the effect of the oppressive nature of the character or the suppression of his level, Qi Hao was unable to move for a moment.

Seeing this, Commander Pi Zhan bypassed Qi Hao and headed straight for Cang Yan Ren Gui.

Just as Commander Pi Zhan was about to touch Azure Flame Blade Demon, Qi Hao finally overcame his fear and stood directly in front of Commander Pi Zhan, saying, "Since I have decided to protect her, I will not let you touch a single hair on her head."

Qi Hao met Commander Pi Zhan's gaze with unwavering resolve. Commander Pi Zhan, seeing Qi Hao's seemingly fearless demeanor, felt a slight pang of emotion, but quickly suppressed it, asking, "Commander... (You understand my meaning, yet you still came to stop me. Is this your resolve? If so, be prepared for the consequences.)"

Qi Hao did not answer, but his unwavering gaze answered the question from beginning to end.

Commander Pi Zhan closed his eyes, sighed, and nodded slightly: "Commander. (I see. It seems you've made up your minds. In that case, I will kill you all.)"

In an instant, Commander Pi Zhan vanished right in front of Qi Hao, and in that instant, a warning bell rang in Qi Hao's mind, and he subconsciously turned around.

刷啦

The sound of a blade cutting rang in Qi Hao's ears; a bloody gash had been slashed open on Qi Hao's shoulder.

"Si... (Has it been too long since you fought? You didn't even hit him...)" Commander Pi Zhan appeared behind Qi Hao, looking at the blood-stained blade with a thoughtful expression. "Si? (No, did you realize it? Or, was it intuition?)"

Commander Pi Zhan vanished again, relentlessly attacking Qi Hao's vital points: eyes, neck, back of the neck, and left chest. Qi Hao narrowly dodged each attack, but even when he avoided the vital points, other parts of his body were struck. Before long, Qi Hao's clothes were almost completely torn to shreds, and his entire body was covered in wounds.

"Commander? (Even so, you still won't allow it?)" Commander Pi Zhan flicked his blade, splattering Qi Hao's blood onto the ground.

Qi Hao tried his best to freeze the wound, but the excessive bleeding still forced him to kneel on one knee. At this moment, his condition was extremely poor. His attack, which was like cutting the commander into a thousand pieces, would be considered extremely powerful even in the world of torture.

Qi Hao, panting heavily, stood up shakily, but in his anemic state, he didn't have much strength left.

"Commander. (To be able to stand up under such circumstances is admirable; this trip was worthwhile.)" Commander Pi Zhan clapped his hands lightly, his expression overflowing with admiration. "Commander. (But you must be exhausted by now. In that case, let's stop here. You've done your best.)"

Commander Pi Zhan's tone softened, but his movements didn't stop. He walked up to the still unconscious Azure Flame Blade Demon and reached out to grab her.

Just as Commander Pi Zhan was about to touch Azure Flame Blade Demon, a hand grabbed him from the side, and Commander Pi Zhan's hand froze in mid-air. "I, I said, I'll protect her."

"Since I knew it..." Commander Pi Zhan sighed softly. No matter how many times it happened, this situation still filled him with regret. "Si! (Since that's how it is, I'll see you off on your way!)"

Commander Pi Zhan delivered a powerful punch to Qi Hao's chest, causing Qi Hao to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Jin! (Big Brother!)" The weak Xiao Tie cried out in heart-wrenching cries as he struggled to crawl toward Qi Hao.

"Boy!" The Emperor Lie, who was focused on his fierce battle with the bronze bell, was attracted by Xiao Tie's shout, only to see Qi Hao covered in blood being held in the hands of Commander Pi Zhan.

Lying on the ground, the Azure Flame Blade Demon faintly smelled a bloody odor, and the metallic taste in her mouth kept irritating her. She guessed that blood from some part of Qi Hao's body had flowed into her mouth.

However, even so, Qi Hao did not let go, still holding tightly to the hand of the Pi Zhan Commander. Seeing this, the Pi Zhan Commander flung his hand away, and Qi Hao lost his support and fell onto the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

In a daze, Qi Hao saw Xiao Tie struggling to move beside him, saw Lie Huang frantically pressing his belt in anger but still being stopped by the bronze bell, and finally, he saw the purple eyes of Cang Yan Ren Gui: "As expected, I'm not afraid of death. Sorry, I said I would protect you, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Hao gradually lost his strength, his eyelids became heavy, and his vision disappeared, just like when he was about to transmigrate in his previous life. His hearing also gradually disappeared, and Xiao Tie's shouts gradually became blurred.

"(?w? ) Stop ignoring me! Even if I'm useless! At least listen to me! You're going to die now!!! You can't die!!!" Yes, after the Commander of the Slashing Army started to attack, the system was ignored by Qi Hao. Her thousands of words were useless, and she kept advising Qi Hao to stop.

As if its spirit had been stimulated, the Azure Flame Blade Demon's whole body began to twitch. Its purple eyes regained their color, but by then Qi Hao had already lost his sight.

"Blade. (Thank you.)" A voice he had never heard before rang in Qi Hao's ears, and then Qi Hao's consciousness plunged into darkness.

Suddenly, the Azure Flame Blade Demon merged with Qi Hao, its purple armor enveloping him and its pitch-black armor covering his entire body. It was impossible to tell who was merging with whom for a moment. The outer armor gradually deformed, conforming to Qi Hao's body. Its blood-red eyes had no pupils, and its mouth, with its corners turned up in a mad grin, revealed teeth like those of a shark, making it look like a terrifying beast. Spikes sprouted from its armor, and a hatred that seemed to be directed at the world emanated from it.

"Si? (Is this some kind of monster?)" Commander Pi Zhan suddenly retreated, and even Zhang Zengsong, who was sitting upright, straightened up. The scene before them was not only strange, but could even be called eerie.

"Hehehehehe." It let out a strange laugh, then its armored hand made a grasping motion in the air, and a giant sword burning with purple flames appeared out of thin air in its hand.

In an instant, it appeared in front of Zhang Zengsong, raising its heavy sword to cleave him in two!

Sizzle~~

The Commander of the Cleave instantly appeared beside him, using the side blade of his hand to block the opponent's greatsword.

The purple monster gradually increased its strength with one hand.

The immense force from the cleaving commander's arm forced him to use both hands to block, and then he pushed hard, lifting the greatsword and slashing at the opponent's neck. But the purple monster fell backward, kicked off the ground to create distance, and then landed on all fours with a clattering sound as it bit the greatsword into its mouth.

Upon seeing its physique, Commander Pi Zhan couldn't help but exclaim, "Commander... (Truly, like a monster...)"
