The dust and dirt settled after around five breaths. The hole was about two meters deep, two feet long in diameter, and cracks ran along its edges and floor. Xiao Luo lay sprawled in the center of the cavity. The clothes he wore had been ripped away, and he was severely injured as well. Burn marks were visible all over his body. He was covered in dirt and looked like he had just crawled out of a minefield.

  “Brat, don’t pretend to be dead. Hurry and get up! This king here hasn’t had enough fun yet!”

  The gigantic face resembling the King of War looked down from the sky and spoke. His voice was thunderous and echoed across both heaven and earth—it was both majestic and dreadful. If a Sky God existed, then it would look like this.

  Xiao Luo closed his eyes, clenched his fist, and responded, “You want to have fun, huh?”

  Xiao Luo emphasized each word, seething with anger. He suddenly opened his eyes and two scarlet beams shot straight up to the sky. His body instantly emanated with a bloodthirsty aura.

  “He has awakened the bloodline of the Xiao clan! He… he can now awaken the power of his bloodline whenever he likes?”

  Curisa opened his eyes wide. Back in the original world, he was quickly defeated when Xiao Luo awakened his bloodline and unleashed its power. He couldn’t forget the horrible chill that penetrated his soul. It was as if it had just happened yesterday, and he shuddered in fear.

  “I’m afraid King of Thunder is going to be humiliated,” King of Blades said, furrowing his eyebrows as he drank his alcohol.

  “He should be. Such fanciful attacks are disgusting in my eyes.” The King of War genuinely despised King of Thunder’s style of attack.

  Xiao Luo emerged from the hole. His full head of black hair had now turned white. The Dragon Blade in his hands burned a blood-flame hue, like a magical warrior created from the flames of hell. The reason he had not lost his mind when awakening the bloodline power was due to the Dragon Blade—it calmed his heart and prevented the murderous devil from taking over.

  “Die!”

  He roared and slashed upwards. With each slash, crimson-black blades of light flashed across the sky, cutting through the air right at the thunderous dark clouds. Though unable to strike King of Thunder directly, the multitude of crimson-black light blades was able to disperse the ominous clouds. King of Thunders was hard-pressed as he tried to maintain the formation of clouds, but ultimately, he could not keep up with the rate the clouds were disintegrating.

  In the end, King of Thunder could not maintain the cloud formations he had been hiding behind!

  And soon, the King of Thunder began to gradually reveal himself…

  “I’ve found you!”

  \r \r \r

  Xiao Luo flashed into the sky once again, for after awakening his bloodline power, he was as fast as lightning.

  King of Thunder was still using all the powers he had to patch up the thunderous dark clouds across the sky. All of a sudden, he could feel a sense of chill coming from behind him. He turned back to take a look. A blood-colored blade was about to slice down on him from above. A look of panic appeared on his face, which quickly turned to a look of disdain.

  He raised his war hammer to parry Xiao Luo’s blade. “It’s useless, my war hammer can absorb…”

  His voice came to an abrupt stop. When Xiao Luo swung his Dragon Blade down on the war hammer, the energy he delivered was tremendous. The war hammer could not absorb all of that energy in time, and excess energy traveled along the surface of the war hammer through to the King of Thunder’s hands, his arms, and the rest of his body.

  The energy was simply overwhelming, and he was unable to withstand the blow.

  The color on King of Thunder’s face changed. This time, he was the one falling from the sky.

  BOOM!

  He fell to the ground and created a deep hole where he crashed. The war hammer flew out of his hand when he hit the ground, and a loud metal “clang” could be heard. Half of the hammer was embedded in the earth.

  “Urrgh… cough, cough…”

  King of Thunder coughed out some blood. He looked extremely pathetic climbing out of the hole, covered in dirt and dust.

  Before he could even react, a crimson-blade crescent light blade flashed silently across the sky, heading straight towards him. Though it did not make a sound, it was enough to cause King of Thunder’s scalp to tingle. If that hit him, then he knew he would surely be dead. At this moment, it was hard to even move his legs as they felt like they weighed thousands of pounds. He could only open his eyes widely, blankly staring as the light blade headed towards him.

  In his moment of crisis, King of War sighed in resignation when he saw the crimson-black blade homing in on him. He pulled out his long blade, now broken and filled with holes, to defend himself.

  “Humph!”

  A bright light blade suddenly streaked through the sky and struck the crimson-black crescent light blade.

  The clash of the two powerful energy-filled blades caused both heaven and earth to fade in a flash of brilliant light. A fierce energy storm swept across the sky and the space shattered. Dark voids appeared in the air.

  Looking at the back of King of War’s massive, tall frame with his slightly unkempt long, flowing hair, the King of Thunder felt relieved. This was the first time he thought this guy looked pretty cool.

  “I told you to let me handle him, but you just wouldn’t listen. Look at you now, embarrassing as hell. Stop looking at me. Hurry up and retreat, don’t interfere with my fight,” King of War mocked, turning his head around.

  He initially thought this guy looked pretty cool, but after hearing those words, the King of Thunder fumed.

  He shouted back, “Damn it, what did you say? Do you believe this king here will personally murder you?”

  The King of War kicked him away, and he flew away like that of a cannonball. Thankfully, his assistant managed to react quickly, and grab him as he was thrown back. Otherwise, he would have landed somewhere with his butt up in front of everyone.

  “Scr*w you, King of War, and curse all your ancestors!”

  “Scr*w you too, and I’ll f*ck your mum!”

  “B*stard, when I recover, I’m going to kill you!”

  …

  King of Thunder was so angry that he began venting his anger without bothering about his image and shouted all sorts of obscenities.

  “You’re noisy!”

  King of War quickly looked away from King of Thunder without bothering with how he felt. And when Xiao Luo landed on the ground, he stared at him with a face full of excitement. “I am your opponent now!”

  Xiao Luo glared at him coldly without saying anything.

  “Holy Lord asked the few of us to stop you. It’d be good if we could convince you to leave, but I don’t care. I enjoy fighting the most, so you better do your best when you fight me. There can only be two outcomes—either I kill you, or you kill me!” War King said.

  “You talk a little too much!”

  Xiao Luo retorted as his aura was about to reach its peak. He readied himself and faced the King of War before charging toward him. He leaped when he was about three meters away from the King of War, launching his attack like an eagle diving towards its prey. He swung the Dragon Blade through the air in a ferocious arc, aiming it at King of War’s head.

  His aura was strong and overpowering!

  Of course, he moved with lightning speed and any ordinary human being wouldn’t be able to properly witness his course of action.

  King of War displayed a confident smile on his face. He didn’t raise his blade, but instead, took a step back.

  Xiao Luo aimed the Dragon Blade that at his head slashed down on his chest instead. The sharp blade left a horrific gash across his chest and blood streamed out copiously.

  “That can’t be. As one of the Four Kings, don’t tell me he didn’t even spot the brat’s attack?”

  Duck Emperor opened his eyes wide and couldn’t understand what was going on. He had already received an injury right at the start of the fight, so how was he going to fight on? But something didn’t seem right, and the duck just could not put a finger on it.
