Chapter 696: Yecheng's Power Rivals the Three Heroes
Chapter 696: Yecheng's Power Rivals the Three Heroes
"So that's how it is. You can gauge an opponent's strength through their eyes, is that right?"
"But aren't you aware that what the eyes see isn't always the truth?"
Gold held his spear, and the magic swirling around his body transformed into a golden dragon, charging straight at Yecheng in a formidable display.
"Stop showing off! In my eyes, your battle strength is far inferior to mine.
If you can truly take my strongest attack head-on and make me concede, then so be it!"
Facing Yecheng's most powerful strike, Gold was astonished to see his opponent's unwavering composure, thinking that Yecheng was putting on an act.
Gold couldn't be sure if Yecheng was still hiding some of his strength, but at this moment, he was terrifyingly powerful!
"Boom——————!"
The rules of the 'God of War Festival' prohibited intentional killing, so Gold's spear thrust aimed for Yecheng's shoulder.
As the golden dragon struck the ground and charged directly at Yecheng, the immense impact instantly shattered the ground, kicking up a thick cloud of dust that enveloped Yecheng's figure.
"Heh, what a foolish move. Knowing he has some strength, he accepted Gold's provocation and took his strongest attack head-on.
You should know that Gold's 'Unbeaten Legend' may not sound pleasant, but he does have the strength to back it up. Even if this time..."
Quentin, the bald, muscular man in the audience, had only spoken half his sentence when he saw Gold, spear in hand, not showing any joy of victory but instead looking shocked as he gazed ahead.
Sid, standing beside him with his head lowered, wore an expression of nonchalance.
Annelore, one of the Seven Sword Masters, didn't show much surprise either. Instead, she said with a knowing look, "He's been suppressing his aura and magic, which led to Gold's misjudgment.
How could someone who defeated the Three Heroes' spirits possibly be compared to the likes of Gold?"
As if to prove Annelore's words, the dust stirred up by the gust of wind gradually settled, and Yecheng's figure slowly reappeared before everyone.
Most of the onlookers, witnessing the scene before them, shared Gold's expression of shock.
Gold's formidable spear thrust, which had been so impressive a moment ago, was now pinched between Yecheng's two fingers!
No matter how hard Gold tried, he found his spear stuck fast in Yecheng's hand, unable to move an inch.
Seeing this astonishing scene, many thought they were putting on a show, but the ground beneath Yecheng's feet had indeed cracked to some extent, indicating the considerable power of Gold's previous attack.
However, the key issue was that Gold had misjudged his opponent's strength, and so his supposedly lethal strike failed to achieve the desired effect.
"I concede..."
"Don't talk nonsense. You've put on a good show, but now it's my turn. I'm feeling terrible, so let me vent a little."
Yecheng's effortless and relaxed stance in receiving Gold's full-power attack was enough for Gold to consider surrendering without hesitation.
But before Gold could finish his words of surrender, Yecheng interrupted him. In the next moment, Gold felt a surge of energy that made every pore on his body tremble, erupting from Yecheng!
"Boom——————!"
The first to experience the abyss-like powerful aura emanating from Yecheng was, of course, Gold himself.
And soon, the entire God of War Festival venue began to shake violently.
As Yecheng's magic power continued to surge, the entire festival grounds started to shake violently, and the tremors spread from this center, gradually affecting the entire capital city!
Yecheng's powerful magic was so dense that it materialized, shooting straight up into the sky and swirling the clouds above the Colosseum.
The lightning formed by the magic struck directly from the swirling clouds above, carving deep ravines into the ground.
This apocalyptic scene terrified everyone present, and many wanted to escape this dangerous place as soon as possible.
However, accompanying Yecheng's outburst of magic was a powerful oppressive force.
Needless to say, Gold was completely overwhelmed at this moment.
Due to his proximity to Yecheng, his body was pinned to the ground, unable to move.
Looking at Yecheng again, he now saw him as an Abyssal Demon God.
The other party's previous statement was absolutely correct; it wasn't that his eyes weren't working, but that he was completely blind!
3000 combat strength? He thought he could easily suppress the other party with his 4399 combat strength? Hell no, the other party's current strength was far beyond 30 million!
Thinking back to his previous taunts, Gold's body trembled uncontrollably. If the other party really wanted to finish him off, it would be as easy as a sneeze.
"The God of War Festival doesn't allow killing?" Gold scoffed. Such rules only applied to the weak. For an overpowered individual like Yecheng, the Midgar Kingdom was nothing before him!
However, just as Gold felt his future was bleak and he might die without a proper burial, he was stunned to find that the ground stopped shaking, and the oppressive force around him gradually dissipated.
"Hey, your strength is too weak; you don't even qualify to let me vent my frustration.
Since you can still maintain consciousness, surrender. Or do you need me to help you?"
Hearing Yecheng's words, Gold's face lit up with joy at his narrow escape. He quickly propped up his broken body, every bone in his body protesting, and said, "No need to trouble Lord Yecheng. It was my fault for being blind. I surrender! I surrender immediately!"
Gold was not joking; after experiencing Yecheng's true power, he dared not have a shred of fighting spirit.
After hearing Yecheng's words, he crawled as fast as he could to the referee, who was also in shock, and indicated his surrender.
Don't ask why he crawled; his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up!
The title 'Unbeaten Legend' would likely be unusable from now on, but Gold was content to have survived.
In fact, facing such a monstrous opponent and living to tell the tale was an achievement far more impressive than his previous 'Unbeaten Legend' status.
Gold was certain that from now on, Yecheng was comparable to the Three Heroes of the past. Having fought and survived against such an opponent was an accomplishment he could boast about for a lifetime.
