Chapter 447: Unexpected Changes
25-09-2017
Wang Yue wasn't a fool. Lu Hai Kong's intention to provoke him was clear, so why would he foolishly engage in a martial arts contest with Dian Wei?
Although their encounter lasted only one exchange, as a top-tier expert, Wang Yue had a clear understanding of Dian Wei's capabilities.
He was well aware that Dian Wei specialized in close-quarters combat, possessing an exceptionally sturdy physical defense. Despite being at a disadvantage against Wang Yue, Dian Wei's formidable strength made it a challenging task to defeat him in a short time.
Lu Hai Kong, on the other hand, was well-prepared. He didn't want to waste energy on Dian Wei, so he decided to take on Lu Hai Kong directly.
When Wang Yue charged forward, Pan Feng and the big guy quickly positioned themselves in front of Lu Hai Kong, one wielding an open-mountain axe and the other swinging a wolf-tooth club, intending to stop Wang Yue.
Although both of them were quite capable, their strength paled in comparison to Wang Yue's formidable martial prowess of 98.
Wang Yue didn't even bother to glance at them. With a swift movement, he darted through the gap between the two, aiming his longsword directly at Lu Hai Kong's throat!
"How dare you!"
Lu Hai Kong's eyes widened with anger, and in an instant, he activated 【Peerless Overlord】. Simultaneously, a figure clad in armor appeared before him.
Wang Yue hadn't anticipated this sudden development but reacted swiftly. He retracted his longsword and was about to maneuver around Lu Hai Kong when he was met with Lu Hai Kong's open-mountain axe.
Lu Hai Kong was inherently gifted in martial arts, and over the past six months, he had been studying the 《Body Refining Fist Technique》, a martial arts manual. His understanding of martial arts had deepened significantly.
This axe strike was not a casual one; it was a precisely calculated move. Lu Hai Kong chose the moment when Wang Yue, having exhausted his previous strength and yet to generate new power, was unable to change his position.
Wang Yue couldn't dodge!
A realization flashed through Wang Yue's mind, but his eyes then narrowed in disdain.
He could sense that Lu Hai Kong's axe strike wasn't delivered with full force. Wang Yue believed he could withstand it, so he didn't dodge or retreat. Instead, he unleashed his inner strength, causing the ancient longsword in his hand to emit a dazzling light as it clashed with Lu Hai Kong's axe.
As the longsword swung, Wang Yue's face was filled with cold pride. However, when the longsword collided with Lu Hai Kong's primitive axe, Wang Yue's expression changed instantly.
"Azure Qi from the East!"
"Primitive Power!"
"Sea Splitting Axe!"
Lu Hai Kong's lips curled into a smile as his entire body radiated purple light. Simultaneously, he unleashed the skill of the primitive axe and his long-prepared 'Sea Splitting Axe' technique.
Lu Hai Kong was a cautious man. He had been preparing from the start, even though he didn't know Wang Yue well, he was familiar with human nature.
From the very beginning, he had intentionally set traps, giving Wang Yue the illusion that he could defeat Lu Hai Kong. But when Wang Yue charged forward enthusiastically, he realized that the little lamb before him had transformed into a ferocious tiger.
In that instant, Lu Hai Kong unleashed all the power he could muster. This was his most powerful strike, and the force of this axe swing was on par with Dian Wei's.
Although Wang Yue's martial prowess was rated at 98, he was a swordsman whose martial arts focused on agility. His strength, while formidable, couldn't compare to Dian Wei's abnormal prowess, especially when Lu Hai Kong activated 【Peerless Overlord】.
Under the shadow of the Mad Unmatched, Wang Yue's martial power was now only at 95.
Therefore, despite Wang Yue sensing something amiss when his longsword clashed with Lu HaiKong's Savage Power Axe, and reacting swiftly, it was still a tad too slow. He was directly struck by Lu HaiKong's violent axe and sent flying ten meters away.
Having taken Lu HaiKong's extreme violent axe, Wang Yue, even while trying his best to deflect the force from Lu HaiKong's axe, still couldn't deflect it all.
Wang Yue knew that he had underestimated his opponent. If he hadn't tried to withstand the blow at the start, he could have deflected most of the force from Lu HaiKong's axe. His initial wrong choice directly led to his current dire situation.
His right hand, which had taken the full brunt of the blow, suffered a minor fracture. And when he landed, his left foot, which had been used to deflect the force, also twisted.
This was already the best-case scenario. If it had been anyone else in his situation, taking Lu HaiKong's axe head-on would have resulted in severe injuries or death. But at the moment, although Wang Yue wasn't severely injured, his situation wasn't much better than being gravely wounded.
As he landed, the uncooperative big guy was pushed aside, and Dian Wei, Pan Feng, the Iron Armored General, Lu HaiKong, Zhang Daoyi, and Tai Shi Ling surrounded him. In this situation, Wang Yue truly felt like he couldn't escape even if he had wings.
"Imperial Tutor, we agreed to spar with my nephew. Your actions are not befitting of your stature." Lu HaiKong said with a light smile, looking at Wang Yue, whose brows were furrowed.
Wang Yue's expression darkened upon hearing this, but he remained silent, tightly gripping his longsword and surveying Lu HaiKong and the others, as if pondering an escape plan.
At this moment, Lu HaiKong was too lazy to waste words with him and waved his hand, signaling everyone to surround Wang Yue immediately.
Wang Yue lived up to his reputation, and despite his injured right hand and twisted left foot, he held his ground under the siege of so many people. Lu HaiKong and his group couldn't take him down in a short time.
Wang Yue relied mainly on his speed. Even with a twisted left foot, he burst forth with astonishing speed, weaving through the attacks of Lu HaiKong and his group with ease, making it difficult for them to touch even a hair of Wang Yue.
Despite his minor injuries, Wang Yue's bravery was evident, and his terrifying strength during his peak was apparent.
However, as his speed continued to burst forth, his twisted left foot became more and more severe, and his speed gradually slowed down. It was only a matter of time before he was captured if this trend continued.
Apart from his foot injury, there was someone else among the besiegers who made Wang Yue wary, forcing him to remain on high alert. This person wasn't the strongest, Dian Wei, but rather Lu HaiKong, whose strength was relatively weaker.
For Wang Yue, although Lu HaiKong's strength was inferior to Dian Wei's, this guy's attacks were extremely tricky. Despite wielding a large axe, each swing aimed at Wang Yue's openings. He didn't attack frequently, but every strike made Wang Yue break out in a cold sweat, and if he didn't respond well, he could be captured at any moment.
In this situation, Wang Yue became more and more discouraged as the fight continued. Although he persisted, he knew that he had little hope, and it was only a matter of time before he would be defeated and captured.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, a rider suddenly appeared on the official highway...
