Chu Zihang's attack was forcefully parried by Norton, and the sheer power of the counterattack sent him stumbling backward. Regaining his footing, Chu Zihang reached up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Norton was simply too strong; their power levels were worlds apart.
Because of the close combat between Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, and Norton, the Dragon King had been unable to unleash devastating ultimate moves like Spiritual Speech: Monarch's Flame or Spiritual Speech: Candle Dragon. The only Spiritual Speech he could use were those requiring no charge time or chanting—such as Spiritual Speech: Blazing Sun, which served as a flashbang, or Spiritual Speech: Blaze, which instantly summoned powerful flames.
Looking at the terrifying figure before him, Chu Zihang felt the exact same sense of helplessness he had experienced on the elevated highway when "Dandelion" descended. A Dragon King's physical prowess naturally far surpassed that of any hybrid. For him and Lu Mingfei to slowly wear Norton down was nothing short of a pipe dream. What was more, the oxygen in their tanks would run out long before their stamina did.
