"Damn you meddling pest—go die…!"
At this moment, Dr. Storm had already piloted the Time Hopper to a position not too far yet not too close from Lin Feng, hovering in mid-air.
He even began adjusting a sight-like device, locking directly onto Lin Feng's position.
If he succeeded, Lin Feng would be in serious trouble.
Even if technology from the 22nd century wasn't some overwhelmingly powerful secret weapon, it definitely wasn't something easy to deal with.
Just as Lin Feng was thinking about whether he should temporarily leave the Wind Dragon and go handle Storm first, an unexpected change occurred.
Amid the howling of the surrounding storm, a dull thump suddenly came from behind the Time Hopper.
With a loud "BOOM," the entire flying saucer-like craft instantly sputtered smoke from its rear and plummeted straight toward the ground like it had lost all power.
And right behind it, a large, muscular figure appeared in mid-air—wearing a bamboo-copter on his head and a steel pipe around his wrist.
"Fat Tiger…?"
Seeing the figure, Lin Feng froze for a moment—then a small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Heh… how could we let you hog all the spotlight? We've gotta do something too!"
Fat Tiger rubbed the side of his nose with a finger from his free hand and laughed.
"Mm. You did great. You really helped me out."
"But from here on, I can handle it. I'll leave Storm to you guys."
Lin Feng nodded to Fat Tiger, then swung up the Seal Sword, charging once more straight toward the Cloud Dragon—Ma Fēngkǎ.
With no more danger at his back, he no longer needed to stay alert for accidents or ambushes.
Honestly, Fat Tiger's surprise attack wasn't just something Lin Feng didn't expect—Storm himself clearly hadn't expected it either.
Storm had planned to ambush others… yet because of his own arrogance, he was the one who got ambushed instead.
Fat Tiger's move was completely beyond Storm's expectations, and at that exact moment Storm's full attention had been focused on Lin Feng ahead of him.
So he let his guard down behind him, allowing Fat Tiger to get a clean shot—blasting the Time Hopper's energy core with the Air Cannon.
"Don't worry! Leave it to us!"
"But Lin Feng, you also be careful, okay? That guy… he doesn't look easy to deal with…!"
Fat Tiger nodded at Lin Feng, then turned and rushed toward the direction Storm was falling.
Even though the Time Hopper's engine was destroyed, Storm was still a dangerous threat—they needed to restrain him properly.
Seeing Fat Tiger shoot down Storm's craft with the Air Cannon, Doraemon and the others quickly put on their bamboo-copters and flew up as well.
Letting Nobita or Suneo go fight a hundred-meter long Wind Dragon in the sky? They would be scared out of their minds.
But dealing with one Storm, with so many people together? That they could do.
With Doraemon joining them, it should be safe.
So Lin Feng finally turned his full focus toward the Ma Fēngkǎ before him.
Because of the brief delay earlier, the Wind Dragon's body had already recovered significantly.
No matter how many times Lin Feng sliced its body apart, it simply reformed without hesitation and lunged at him again—completely fearless, without the slightest sign of doubt or fear.
The dragon roared and came clawing and snapping at him again.
Since the previous method didn't work… then it was time to change tactics.
Lin Feng steadied his breath, thought for a moment—
—then suddenly dashed straight into the dragon's wide-open mouth.
"Ah! No—!"
"Lin Feng got eaten by the monster Ma Fēngkǎ…!!"
Suneo, who had just looked up while rushing over, froze in terror.
He trembled violently, raised a shaking finger toward the empty air where Lin Feng had disappeared, and screamed.
"Lin Feng…!"
Shizuka's heart tightened, anxiety surging uncontrollably.
Doraemon, Nobita, and Fat Tiger all stared tensely at the sky.
Just a moment ago, Lin Feng had clearly still been winning—so how did the situation flip so suddenly?
"Hahahaha…! Serves him right!"
"Anyone who opposes me always ends up like this—HAHAHAHA!"
Storm, who had crashed to the ground, was injured from the impact, but thanks to the Time Hopper's emergency safety system, his injuries weren't too severe.
He happened to witness the Wind Dragon swallow Lin Feng whole, and couldn't stop himself from laughing hysterically.
Now the biggest obstacle was finally gone. No one could stop him from destroying the world.
He only needed a little time to repair the Time Hopper's power system.
Then Dr. Storm would still be the brightest genius of all!
But the next second—
—the Cloud Dragon in the sky suddenly started acting strangely.
"RROOOAAARR…!"
With a frustrated, unwilling roar—
—the swirling Wind Dragon began collapsing before everyone's eyes, dispersing back into the clouds.
"What?! What's happening!? Why is it disappearing!?"
Storm's arrogant laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by shocked disbelief. But no one around could answer his question.
Doraemon and the others stared wide-eyed at the stunning sight.
"It's Lin Feng! Hahaha! He did it…!!"
Fat Tiger's excited shout rang through the air.
As the Wind Dragon dissolved, Lin Feng's figure gradually emerged from within.
He floated in mid-air, gripping his sword with both hands, expression firm—and at the tip of his blade, a dark-red, constantly swirling orb was embedded.
The third Ma Fēngkǎ Pearl.
Lin Feng really did it.
He used the Seal Sword and sealed Ma Fēngkǎ once again.
Seeing this, Shizuka finally let out the breath she'd been holding.
For that one moment earlier, she truly thought Lin Feng was in danger. Just remembering the overwhelming panic she felt made Shizuka's face warm faintly.
