Xiao Luo was utterly stunned, and he stared with disbelief at King of War, “What are you doing?”
The King of War smiled slyly and his eyes were filled with excitement. He licked his lips and with a cold and sinister smile, and said, “I’m trying to see how sharp your saber is.”
Screw his ducking grandfather! Using his body to test… was this guy mad?
Duck Emperor could only feel a chill traveling down from his head down to his webbed feet, and his body turned cold.
“Idiot! Fool! A fool whose head has been kicked by a donkey! He thinks he looks extremely cool after taking that slash, but he’s nothing but a dumb and bloody idiot,” King of Thunder scowled, taking the opportunity to insult King of War.
King of Blade still had that same sluggish look. He picked his nose and said, “He’s indeed foolish, but he looks quite cool. I guess only King of War would have the guts to use his body to test that guy’s saber.”
King of Swords didn’t say a single thing and quietly observed the entire scenario from the side.
All the surrounding Light Clan people broke out into a cold sweat, worried for King of War. Taking an attack like this for no reason was going to weaken him. He was going to be at a disadvantage in this fight.
“Your opponent is me! You better not let your guard down!”
King of War cackled, then kicked Xiao Luo’s abdomen while he was still in a stupor.
POW!
A powerful surge of energy blasted into Xiao Luo, and although he had on a layer of armor, Xiao Luo felt as if all his organs were churning inside. A moan escaped his lips as the pain was excruciating. He spat out some blood, and like a cannonball, his body flew about hundreds of meters away and slammed into the ground. He tumbled back about ten meters before eventually coming to a stop.
“Urrgh!”
He barely managed to stand even with the support of the Dragon Blade and spat out more blood.
“Good, well done, King of War!”
“Beat him to death! Beat him to death just like that!”
“King of War is the mightiest!”
All the Light Clan warriors got excited after witnessing the blow, and they all began cheering happily.
Ghost and Duck Emperor were shocked, and they gasped anxiously. They couldn’t have imagined that the Holy Land of the Light Clan’s King of War was this powerful. One kick and Xiao Luo was already coughing out blood. He was as ferocious as a magical beast.
“Haha, haha…”
A ferocious, eerie, and hoarse laughter filled the entire atmosphere. Like a magical beast, King of War charged forward, heading straight toward Xiao Luo with a terrifying aura. The clothing on the upper half of his body was ripped away, revealing muscles like that of a horned dragon. Almost three meters tall, he was like a giant, and besides the wound that Xiao Luo had inflicted on him, there were many other scars around his body as well. His body had a bronze hue, making it look like he had been through a regimen of vigorous training.
“Xiao Luo, let’s have a good fight!”
King of War roared as he leaped some ten meters in the air, then pounced fiercely with unmatched power. Wielding his long blade perforated with holes, he used all his strength and hewed down at Xiao Luo.
At this crucial moment, Xiao Luo quickly threw himself aside and rolled away to successfully dodge the fatal attack.
King of War struck hard as he landed, and his sword was broken. A resounding “boom” erupted from the impact, and the ground of Sky City trembled violently. An enormous hole was formed around the king, spreading outward like a web.
The ground was shaking. Rocks were sent flying through the air from the violent release of force.
Duck Emperor quickly grabbed onto Ghost and flew into the sky. King of Swords, King of Blades, King of Thunder, and all their assistants, quickly soared up to the sky as well. As for all the Light Clan people, although the hole was spreading out at a rapid speed, there was still enough time to run for they were standing some distance away.
“Hiss!”
They all could not help but gasp when the dust settled.
The vast square no longer existed and had been replaced by an enormous hole about ten meters deep, and about hundreds of meters in diameter. Looking from above, it appeared like a huge black iron pot—it was dark and emitted a sinister aura.
“Gulp!”
Duck Emperor struggled to swallow his saliva, and a cold sweat came trickling down his forehead.
This scene shocked Ghost as well, for the level of combat ability she just witnessed was simply too terrifying.
CRACK!
Xiao Luo emerged from a pile of debris. Although he evaded the King of War’s long blade, the blast still buried him under a mountain of rocks.
After pinpointing his exact spot, King of War smiled slyly again. He charged toward Xiao Luo like a savage magical beast, brimming with evil intent. No, he wasn’t just a magical beast, but one that had crawled out of the bowels of hell.
“Huh! Hiyah!”
Xiao Luo calmed himself down, roared, and advanced on the King of War.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The fight became fiercer as neither yielded. The clash of their blades caused showers of sparks to fly in all directions. The force generated from their sword battle swept across the surroundings.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Dust swirled in the air, and the ground collapsed. They both fought in the catacomb deep beneath the earth, and the solid ground shook violently like an earthquake. Though they fought underground, the clash of their blades still thundered in their ears.
“Ah, this feels good. This fight today feels so good!”
King of War’s excited cackle filled the air, and everyone could feel his passion and obsession with fighting.
Who would win this fight?
This was something on everyone’s mind.
“Duck Emperor, can Luo win?” Ghost was anxious and worried about Xiao Luo’s chances.
“It’s going to be hard.”
Duck Emperor looked rather solemn and said, “The aura that the Light Clan’s King of War is emitting is a lot stronger than that god-damn brat. With his passion for fighting, it’s as if he’s possessed by a devil—in fact, he is like the devil himself. I just can’t imagine a scenario where he doesn’t win.”
Suddenly, as if his words had been validated…
BOOM!
The ground cracked open and Xiao Luo flew out from within. It did not appear like Xiao Luo had flown out on his own accord, rather someone had kicked him out.
“Haha, haha…”
Laughing maniacally, the King of War broke through, streaking the air like that a magical beast. He went after Xiao Luo, still tumbling in the air, and grabbed his face with one hand. In a brutal and insane move, he dived straight toward the ground from high up, pulling Xiao Luo along with him.
KABOOM!
The impact resounded like a thunder-like clap as the back of Xiao Luo’s neck was smashed into the ground. The hard ground collapsed and the edge of the cavity around Xiao Luo’s head lifted slightly—it was like dropping a stone into soy pulp. Dust filled the air like a storm, and rocks were strewn everywhere like in an apocalypse.
The Dragon Blade was no longer in Xiao Luo’s control and was flung out of the dust storm, rotating at a rapid speed. It pierced the ground, standing upright with half of its blade buried deep inside the earth.
Everyone stared in horror—yet another enormous hole was formed. It was like an immense crater, and the sight of it even made everyone’s hair stand on ends.
When the dust settled, everyone saw that Xiao Luo was trapped in the deepest point of the pit and had sustained grievous injuries all over his body.
King of War had also sustained injuries to his body. During their fight underground, both had exchanged strikes in equal numbers, but to the King of War, these injuries were nothing. Instead, his eyes glowed with excitement.
“Not bad… the fight today feels so good. Xiao Luo, you’re a worthy opponent!”
King of War lifted his hand off Xiao Luo’s face and stared down at him, looking every bit the victor.
Blood was oozing from Xiao Luo’s mouth and nose. His eyes were closed and the pain showed on his face.
