nChapter 93: The strongest battle

nTranslator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

nLiu Guang laughed angrily!

nIn the Shenyue continent, only he could belittle others! No one had or could belittle him.

nSu Yu was the first!

n

"The one to end the Fight of the Century is not you, but me, Liu Guang!

" Liu Guang stood proudly,

"Each of you has only one chance to strike!

"

nJiang Xin's expression turned grave. She shot nine bolts of black light out from within her sleeves!

nWhoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

nLiu Guang held his position and smiled slightly, the tip of his toes lightly tapping the ashy ground.

nThat light tap exploded with enormous power!

nRumble—

nBoom—

nThe thirty feet of wasteland around Liu Guang's body exploded!

nDust flew in the air. Debris was thrown toward the sky. A vortex of dust and debris fused into a giant wave, shooting up into the air.

nClink, clink, clink—

nThe nine bolts of black light were all blocked by the giant wave.

nAt the same moment, Liu Guang extended a finger and lightly tapped a small pebble.

nWhoosh—

nAh—

nJiang Xin had no time to react and was hit by the pebble. She groaned, painfully defeated.

nThe foggy light shimmered. Jiang Xin had been defeated twice and was sent out of the forbidden grounds.

nThe dust scattered and the debris fell from the sky. Among the ashes, Liu Guang stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was invincible!

nMeng Lang swallowed hard,

"Kiss of the Hungry Wolf!

"

nWhoosh—

nHis images became dreamy and hard to distinguish.

nLiu Guang, who was surrounded by blurred afterimages, laughed, standing with his hands behind his back.

nSuddenly, the multiple afterimages struck from all directions, like a large flood.

nIt looked like Liu Guang was going to be swallowed by the fists!

nPat—

nThere was a light sound, and the afterimages disappeared in an instant. All that was left was the true Meng Lang, standing a few feet in front of Liu Guang.

nA bolt of vital energy had taken the form of a sword and lodged itself between Meng Lang's brows.

nMeng Lang had been defeated. The foggy light shimmered and sent him out of the forbidden grounds!

nWhile the sword struck Meng Lang, Liu Guang stood peacefully with his hands behind his back, never once moving to make a strike.

nZhao Guang gasped,

"To give form to vital energy… You are approaching the level of a Holy King!

"

nThe Holy King Li Guang once lamented that the Shenyue continent's resources were limited, and he was unable to nurture a new generation of potential Holy Kings. But Liu Guang had defied the odds, he was approaching the level of the Holy King.

nLiu Guang laughed but remained silent, looking at Zhao Guang jokingly. He was making light of the situation, as Zhao Guang now stood alone.

nThis battle was like a powerful, unsurmountable mountain which shook Zhao Guang's heart. But, Zhao Guang's determination was inextinguishable. He would not give up so easily!

n

"Three Heads and Six Limbs!

"

nZhao Guang's arms and legs began rapidly changing along to a unique rhythm. It was as if he had grown two extra heads and four extra limbs! His attack range now enveloped the whole arena! Meng Lang had previously been defeated by this technique!

n

"Witness my technique!

" Zhao Guang grunted like a wild beast, swift and powerful.

nRumble—

nThe two finally crossed swords.

nA loud rumble shook the sky, causing dust to fly everywhere. When the dust finally settled, a surprising scene was revealed!

nLiu Guang had a sneer on his face, his finger lifted.

nZhao Guang stood ten feet away, his three heads and six limbs frozen!

nLiu Guang's vital energy had transformed into an ice wall, blocking Zhao Guang's blow. A mere finger had kept Zhao Guang at bay!

nClenching his jaw, Zhao Guang grunted,

"Shifting Shadows!

"

nWhoosh—

nZhao Guang disappeared into thin air, teleporting behind Liu Guang. Even Liu Guang had no time to react.

nRumble—

nZhao Guang's six limbs struck out all at once!

nCrash—

nThe joy on Zhao Guang's face froze; none of his fists had landed on hard muscle or flesh—in fact, he felt as if he had just struck air. Then, he heard a mocking call come from behind him.

n

"Is attacking my afterimage interesting?

"

nA finger tapped on his back.

nThud—

nZhao Guang, as if crushed by a mountain, spat out a huge mouthful of blood. He was sent flying into the air and fell in defeat.

n

"So... fast!

" Zhao Guang's pupils dilated. Liu Guang was even faster than his deity level technique, Shifting Shadows!

n

"You are not the only one who has cultivated two deity level techniques,

" Liu Guang stood, calmly smiling.

nThe puppet referee announced,

"The victor is Liu Guang!

"

n

"Next, Liu Guang, you choose a challenger!

" The puppet referee ordered.

nLiu Guang stood in the center of the ashes, his gaze lightly falling onto Su Yu,

"I assume, after watching me battle, you now understand the massive difference between our levels of skill. But before we fight, let me take out the trash.

"

nCreak—

nWithout turning his head, Liu Guang flicked his finger behind him.

nAh—

nZhao Guang could not defend himself in time, and a hole bore through his shoulder blades.

nZhao Guang had been defeated twice. The foggy light surrounded him, sending the indignant Zhao Guang out of the forbidden grounds. There, Zhao Guang knelt on the ground on a single knee, pleading in shame,

"Your disciple was useless. Please punish me, master.

"

nLi Guang was shocked, his eyes gradually losing their glow.

n

"Rise… Maybe this is fate… My wish for a century could not be fulfilled…

" Li Guang's words carried his sorrow.

nAt that moment, he looked like he had aged a hundred years, like an elder who had lost his will to live.

nHis spirit was dead.

nXu Rong had a look of pity, shaking her head as she sighed,

"Li Guang, why do you obsess so much? Does Zhao Guang mean that much to you?

"

nLi Guang closed his eyes. His old frame lightly trembled; he had harbored a hope and wish for a full century, only for it all to be dashed in an instant.

n

"Master…

" The Holy Disciples could all feel their Holy King's sorrow, each mournfully kneeling on the ground.

nLi Guang forcefully put on a smile,

"I am fine…

"

nZhao Guang was devastated. Only he knew that the Holy King had counted on this moment for his entire life; the Holy King had dedicated a hundred years to this fight, from his teenage years to his current age.

nBut Zhao Guang had failed to fulfill his wish for him! Guilt and remorse overcame him.

nAt that moment, a figure crossed his mind.

"Master, I may have been defeated, but there is still Junior Su!

" Zhao Guang declared,

"He might carry a glimmer of hope!

"

nSu Yu? Li Guang lightly muttered his name. After some thought, he shook his head and laughed,

"He cannot…

"

nIn the arena, only two were left standing atop the ashes.

nOne was a silver-haired, purple-robed youth, who had risen from poverty. He was a star who had fallen into the continent's time and space, and his brilliance was shocking.

nThe other was a legendary genius. He had defied the odds and was approaching the level of a Holy King, arrogantly standing atop the world!

nThe Fight of the Century belonged to them!

n

"Miniscule ant, the pity I bestowed upon you is gone. Now it is time to see the true difference between our abilities!

" Liu Guang stood with his hands behind his back, his robes gently swaying.

nHis vital energy formed ten swords which spun around his body. Anyone who approached him would be torn to shreds!

nWhoosh—

nLiu Guang's afterimage flickered as he disappeared into thin air!

nThe next moment he appeared within ten feet of Su Yu! Ten vital energy swords attacked Su Yu!

nSu Yu stood with his hands behind his back calmly.

n

"Icy Heart Core!

" Su Yu grunted lightly.

nRumble, rumble—

nNear his chest, a heart made of ice began to beat. This was the top stage of the deity level technique, Icy Heart Core!

nHis heart had been transformed into an Icy Heart Core. As long as he willed it, everything would become ice.

nCreak—

nThe vapor in the air turned into frost. At his whim, the frost became an ice wall.

nCrack—

nThe vital energy swords shattered the ice wall, but the attack was blocked.

nBy the time Liu Guang had collected himself, all that was left in front of him was an afterimage of Su Yu.

n

"Humph! You run fast!

" Liu Guang sneered, scanning the surroundings. His pupils dilated; he could not find Su Yu!

nAt this moment, snow fell on his head with a light thud.

n

"Looking for me?

"

nLiu Guang lifted his head to see Su Yu floating in the air with his hands behind his back!

nHis purple-robed figure was floating on thin air as if he were a celestial being.

nTo float on thin air… only a Holy King could achieve that!

nFloating Light Shadow, top stage, could allow a user to temporarily float!

nLiu Guang was shocked, but he continued to sneer,

"You merely used a simple floating technique. Let me show you what real flying looks like!

"

nWhoosh—

nLiu Guang's vital energy formed a pair of feathered wings on his back. Every flap allowed him to fly upward.

nThe key to Holy King's flying ability was the manipulation of vital energy. Liu Guang, approaching the level of a Holy King, could manage simple shape manipulations—including turning vital energy into wings.

nLooking straight at Su Yu, Liu Guang laughed,

"Your techniques are pretty decent. Now, let me show you what a true top stage deity level technique looks like!

"

n

"Claw of the Divine Eagle!

" Liu Guang grunted.

nHis fingers formed the shape of a claw. A faint glow encircled his fingers and he sliced downward, like a sharp eagle's claw.

nRumble—

nThe ash and debris on the ground were violently stirred. Five three-foot deep craters appeared.

nA small ripple of a movement had such power!

nA top stage deity level technique's power was immense!

nSu Yu's expression was calm. He let loose a stream of vital energy from his palm and willed it to become a frost sword.

nHe lightly flicked his wrist, slicing downward!

nRumble—

nHis frost sword shattered, the powerful ripple effects dissipating into the surroundings.

nSu Yu took ten steps back, a metallic taste rising in his throat!

nLiu Guang silently stood at his original position, adjusting his robes. He smiled,

"Both techniques are top stage deity level techniques, but yours was merely a supportive technique. How could you stand up against the attack technique I use?

"

nSu Yu could not rival Liu Guang—not because of insufficient power from Icy Heart Core, but because of the difference in cultivation base level!

nSu Yu was only at Level Eight Peak. Liu Guang was at Level Nine Peak! Both techniques were top class deity level techniques, but Su Yu was naturally at a disadvantage.

n

"The glorious title King of the Century belongs to me, Liu Guang. After this battle, I will become a dragon in the sky, and you will be an ant for eternity!

" Liu Guang's said mockingly,

"Relax, I will take good care of your Xianer! Her heart and body belong to me, Liu Guang!!

"

nLiu Guang continued to taunt him,

"I'm afraid Xianer does not know that she will soon become my woman. She still adorably calls me Senior Liu Guang. Someday, she will become my plaything! Only a person with her bloodline is worth of being mine! So, give up. I, Liu Guang, will keep your woman for you!

"

nWhoosh—

nAs soon as Liu Guang finished his sentence, he disappeared once again. This time, he reappeared in front of Su Yu in an instant.

n

"Claw of the Divine Eagle!

" The earth-shattering blow clawed at Su Yu!

nSu Yu's expression was cold and murderous; it was like the calm before a storm.

nXianer was his fiancée. She was the lady he had sworn to protect forever.

nNo one could violate her! Be they the heavens, the earth, or the gods—those who violated her would die!

n

"You shouldn't have humiliated her,

" Su Yu's tone was calm. The lack of emotion in his voice sent chills all the way to heaven and back.

nFor the first time, he dropped his hands from behind his back.

nA purple lily surfaced in his right palm. Its blinding purple glow contrasted with Su Yu's icy appearance. The petals were exquisite, crisp with purple patterns.

nAside from its beautiful appearance, the purple lily exerted toe-curling oppressive power!

nThat energy caused Liu Guang's smile to freeze. The skin on his scalp was crawling!

nHis heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he realized what he should not have said!

n

"I want you… dead!

" Su Yu calmly said, taking a small step forward.

nThis step seemed to cross over the heavens and earth as if he had stepped over time and space—over every obstacle the world had to offer!

nHeaven and earth could not save Liu Guang!
