Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 126 Norma, Close the Door

Chapter 126 Norma, Close the Door
Although there were thousands of horses galloping through her heart, Jiude Mai still tried her best to appear to have some room for maneuver.

Mysterious, powerful, and a little sexy.

This is her personality and cannot be changed.

So she forced herself to calm down and threw a coquettish glance at Lu Mingfei.

"What a pity~ I'm the only one who's loyal~"

"Really? Sorry, can you just go back like this?" Lu Mingfei looked up at him. "After all, he's my brother's subordinate. I don't want to make things too awkward. Damn, I've always wanted to try saying something like this (whispering)"

Lu Mingfei complained about himself right after he finished making harsh remarks. Although he looked like a handsome guy, he was still a funny guy in essence, which made Jiude Mai laugh and cry.

"It's just that, although I really want to say 'OK, OK, handsome guy, please support me', but - I'm also getting paid to do this job."

Mai Jude pressed the handles of the two samurai swords from her waist, took a deep breath, and a forced smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Giving up like this goes against my code of conduct as a model employee."

"Yeah."

Lu Mingfei expressed his understanding.

"That--"

As the young man nodded, Jude Mai also tensed her spirit to the limit, and the vertical pupils in her golden eyes were almost snake-like.

but.
call--------

The cold wind blew through the deep cellar, and the dark candlelight gently leaned sideways.

In Jiude Mai's sight, the figure became blurred in an instant.

Hands-on!
Jiude Mai suddenly exerted force with her forearm and drew her sword!

She is the strongest ninja in existence on earth, proficient in assassination and Japanese swordsmanship. She knows very well that the battle between masters only lasts for a moment!
Attack with all your strength! Blade flashes!
Fight!

Two blurry shadows intersected! A sound burst out!
Swoosh! —Pah!

The light stagnated in mid-air.

Consciousness lags half a second.

Jiude Mai's pupils gradually dilated. The moment she realized that her sword was half exposed, the hilt was pressed down.

Just now, there was a dull sound from the heavy collision of the sword handle.

"Hey?"

Jiude Mai was facing forward, but Lu Mingfei had already come to her side before she finished speaking.

The two figures intertwined, their shadows overlapped, and they were very close, as close as lovers.

Lu Mingfei placed his palm on Jiude Mai's knuckles and forced the knife back into the scabbard.

And this fight lasted only a moment.

The floating hair began to fall under the force of gravity, drawing an enchanting arc in the air. It was not until this moment that the feeling of astonishment turned into an electric current and spread throughout the body.

Jiude Mai: "!!!!"

"You're also fast, almost as fast as Zero. But, now that you know the difference in strength, there's no need to keep fighting like that, right?"

Click
Lu Mingfei's forearm without any force easily suppressed Jiude Mai. The latter's face kept changing, but he still moved his palm down suddenly the next moment.

(In that case—)
boom!
Instead of gripping the handle, he gripped the sheath with his fingers! He yanked it down!

Taking advantage of Lu Mingfei's force, he suddenly pressed his arm down, shook off the naturally falling handle of the knife, and then dived and turned like a snake. His amazingly long legs took a step forward and his center of gravity shifted to one side.

He drew his sword, swung it, all in one go! The sword's radiance shook the heavens!
Snapped!
But still—no swing.

"Hey."

The blade light was frozen at the moment of perfect arc. Lu Mingfei, with his back to Jiude Mai, bent down to pick up the scabbard that Jiude Mai had pushed away. Then he turned his wrist and elbow, and directly inserted the scabbard into the blade with his backhand!
Kakaka——————

"Well!"

The blade lost its power halfway through, and when Lu Mingfei twisted his wrist again, the strength that Jiude Mai had already exerted was instantly lost, and she fell uncontrollably to the ground. Only by relying on the ninja's flexibility and impromptu reaction to suddenly support herself with her hands did she avoid falling flat on her face.

But the reality that she knelt down in front of Lu Mingfei in embarrassment was unchangeable.

The gap is too big.

Her pupils kept trembling, and Jude Mai could hardly believe what was happening at this moment.

She is the top of the A-level hybrids and has spent half her life in battle. With her strength, she can even deal with the previous generation.

But at this moment.
Why.
Jiude Mai, supporting herself on the ground with her hands, managed to raise her head and look at Lu Mingfei. Her already noble golden eyes now revealed an intense and heavy contempt.

The black coat connected the shadows, as if it were endless darkness.

What is Lu Mingfei like now?
No, focus on the task.

Do you want to use [that]?

Jiude Mai took a deep breath and exhaled, thinking about the pros and cons in her mind.

Mission First
【No thanks, Mai.】

Suddenly, a voice came into Jiude Mai's mind.

【There's no need to show your hand here. 】

Our little white rabbit won.

Jiude Mai's eyes flickered, and Lu Mingfei's expression also changed subtly, perhaps it was an illusion.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and finally, the female ninja spoke first.

".I surrender."

Jude Mai raised her hand with a wry smile.

At this point, it would be a bit embarrassing to struggle any further.

"Can we talk about job hopping?"

"You lost, Lu Mingze."

Walking towards the depths of the ice cellar, Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.

And this time, the little devil responded.

"You're right, brother."

The little Lolita boy in a black suit appeared again. His attire always carried a deep and elegant air, which matched the alchemical artifacts in this deep cellar.

"Mai may be very powerful, but she is only a 'human' after all. How can she possibly compare to a monster like you?"

"What are you talking about? I can see she has another trump card." Lu Mingfei said as he ran forward, "It's the [Prosthetic Body], right?"

Yes, during this meeting, the moment Lu Mingfei saw Jiude Mai, he had already seen the [prosthetic body] through the prosthetic eye.

Mainly the [circulatory system] and [frontal cortex], which are also models that Lu Mingfei doesn't know.

But it can be seen that once it is activated, Jiude Mai will be several times stronger than before.

"I had a rough idea of it back in Finger's time. Sure enough, this world is inextricably linked to cyberpunk. In my time, in 2009, prosthetics had already begun to be installed in various factions."

"Theoretically, these prosthetics are [Element Converters] made from [Dragon Remains]. In this era before a full-blown war between humans and dragons, they should all be low-end models. But quite the opposite. Precisely because nothing has been brought to the table, these [Experimental Models] all have abnormal power and design concepts. Those who can withstand them are truly born freaks."

In Night City, as far as Lu Mingfei knew, David Martinez was already a top-notch mercenary among the top-notch ones, even a goalkeeper-level figure among legendary mercenaries.

Apart from him, most of the mercenaries who were able to make a name for themselves and complete missions in their next lives were of A-level bloodline.

It's impressive, but not enough. It's precisely because of the proliferation of prosthetics and the authoritarianism of companies that the actual performance of prosthetics has declined, because they've been mass-produced.

Even the Sian Westin that David used could not be considered the "top product" in the cyberpunk era.

The real 'top-notch' ones are all treated like treasures by the company - for example, [Cyborg], and the more advanced one, Adam's Hammer, a prosthetic equipment that is said to be mixed with the remains of [King of the Earth and Mountains].

Jude Mai's prosthetic body and Finger's prosthetic body are at least at the level of David's [Sian Westin] or even [Cyborg].

This formula for materializing [elements] definitely came from an alchemist.

Either he is some great genius of mankind, or...
By some means, what information did Norton and Constantine get from the Bronze and Fire Kings, the two dragon kings who mastered alchemy?
No, don’t think about that for now.

The conclusion is - Lu Mingze did not intend to let Jiude Mai use this trump card against Lu Mingfei.

"Yes, I lost. There's nothing wrong with admitting it."

Lu Mingze spread his hands beside Lu Mingfei.

"This isn't the first time I've lost to you, brother. I'm not even ashamed~"

"Then you are really open-minded."

"Hmm~"

Lu Mingze continued to shrug, "I just want to release Constantine, I want you to trade with me, brother, but unfortunately, I don't have enough manpower to do this."

"Brother, you have become so strong that you might not lose even if you fight against the Dragon King in human form."

"That's why I didn't let Zero stand by my side from the beginning, because I didn't know how you would react, brother. Now it seems that you've matured beyond my expectations. The battle with Adam's Hammer made you much stronger. After that, life as a mercenary was just a matter of getting familiar with the body."

Lu Mingze blew on his bangs and said, "Congratulations~"

"Although it's congratulations, why do I feel like there's something else behind your words? And why do you want to stop time?"

Lu Mingfei looked at the solidified matter around him, speechless.

Yes, the little devil's appearance this time was accompanied by a time-stop special effect. It was pitch black in the ice cellar, and he almost didn't notice it.

"If we don't do this, we won't be able to talk so much nonsense. Brother, you are going to fight the boss."

".What do you mean?"

Lu Mingfei frowned.

boss
Didn’t I already knock Jude Mai unconscious?
How could there be someone else in front?

Even Lu Mingfei would have to work hard to invade the ice cellar from the outside. How could anyone possibly bypass his perception range and get in faster than him?

impossible.------

and many more.

Could it be that--

"It's that Masaka~ It seems that I'm not the only one who wants to resurrect Constantine." Lu Mingze put his hands behind his back, his eyes smiling into crescent shapes.

"So - remember what I said, brother?"

"Brother, you have become so strong that you might not lose even if you fight a human-shaped Dragon King."

"Let's test it."

boom!!--!!------!----!--!--------

When Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, the lip movements of Lu Mingze before he disappeared were still lingering on his retina - that devilish figure was laughing with an expression of watching the fun before the time-stop field was broken.

And when the air suddenly gained mass, Lu Mingfei's eardrums were the first to catch the violent vibration like a ground-to-ground missile washing the ground.

He suddenly half-knelt, his feet plowing two scorch marks on the ground, and the fibers of his trouser legs curled up into ash roses in the high temperature.

Not far ahead, a wave of heat blew towards him—

There was still some distance and the darkness of the ice cellar would prevent him from seeing clearly, but at that moment, all the matter within thirty meters in front of him was stripped of its structure, melted into molten iron, and scattered into white smoke!
And at the end of the sight, the huge bronze cocoon that wrapped Constantine was peeling off and cracks were appearing. Every falling fragment melted into liquid fire rain in mid-air.

At that moment, it seemed as if I heard a magnificent and heavy music in my ears.

The trembling underground structure of double bass, clarinet, trombone and snare drum begins to play the apocalyptic fugue.

The titanium-tungsten alloy beams that once carried the pinnacle of dragon alchemy were now bending and hanging like chocolate bars, with countless burning stardust outlining the original configuration of the dragon matrix.

The surface of Lu Mingfei's irises reflected the true revival of the myth - in front of him, the seemingly weak body of the boy walked out of the alchemy pot, stretching out the shadow of dragon wings.

"Hey Hey hey"

The invisible realm expanded, encompassing Lu Mingfei, passing through Jiude Mai, covering the entire ice cellar, and then immediately expanded to the entire Kassel - and even the outer space.

Within the domain, all metal elements began to collapse in reverse, the turbulent water in the pool in the courtyard turned upside down into a pillar of fire that reached the sky, and the alchemical barrier of Kassel Academy exploded one after another like a fragile soap bubble.

In front of Lu Mingfei, the Dragon King gave a soft call.

"elder brother."

Who knows how many thousands of years had passed, and at this moment, the complete authority of the King of Bronze and Fire finally tore through the afterbirth of the material world - in the turbulent war room of Kassel, the red alarm recorded the cry of Genesis.

【King of Bronze and Fire. Constantine】

【Fully manifested】

In the high temperature that almost carbonized his skin, Lu Mingfei smiled bitterly.

The cold sweat on his forehead was evaporated into white mist by the high temperature, which did not even cause pain when it clung to his skin, because his whole body had been steamed to the point of being almost half-cooked by the high temperature.

"Jiude Mai, right? You get out first!"

Lu Mingfei turned around and shouted to the "irrelevant person".

"!!!"

Jude Mai didn't want to obey the order at first, but the voice of "Boss" ringing in her ears made her give in.

She turned half of her body and looked at Lu Mingfei's half-kneeling back. His jet-black coat fluttered backwards, and his black hair with a hint of brown also fell and swayed in the air, but his eyes were still indifferent.

It really has changed.
Damn it, I must return the favor next time!

pat!

Listening to the footsteps fading away, at a certain moment, Lu Mingfei stood up, holding his knees.

"call----"

Take a long breath.

Then--

"[Don't die]"

The body's active tissues begin to fight against the high temperature, barely maintaining normal functions.

Lu Mingfei moved his left arm towards his right chest, stretched it slightly, looked ahead, and spoke with a smile.

"Chris, that's not right—"

"Norma, close the door."

At Lu Mingfei's command, the ice cellar began to emit mechanical roars.
