Chapter 780 - Battle of the Geniuses
Starting Chapter 780 of "MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again": As Zi Xin spoke, Lu Hong finally understood the true strength of the Yin Demon... See what happens next!
As Zi Xin spoke, Lu Hong finally understood the true strength of the Yin Demon Clan. Even a world with countless powerful beings and nearly a thousand Heavenly Gods did not want to make enemies with them, which pointed to the immense might of the Yin Demon Clan.But this also attested to Gui Heâs impressive prowess. To be able to counterbalance such a formidable force, even restraining the Heavenly God powerhouses, made one say that this disciple truly brought honor to his master!
"Since you donât want to be enemies with the Yin Demon Clan either, why are you here?"
Zi Rui shot Lu Hong a glance. "Donât you know? The Yin Demon Legion attacked the Star Sea World for a long time. Recently, something happened, and they chose to retreat. Didnât you come here after hearing about it to scavenge?"
"Not at all. Iâm from Star Sea World. Now that the Yin Demon Clan has retreated, Star Sea World sent me to investigate the situation."
"Youâre from Star Sea World?" Zi Xin looked Lu Hong up and down. "Is your Star Sea World that poor? You only carry Gold Coins?"
"Sis," Zi Rui spoke up, "havenât the elders said that the people of Star Sea World never venture out?"
"True." Zi Xin nodded and continued the conversation. "Since youâre from Star Sea World, I wonât make things difficult for you. Hand over the world item, and Iâll let you go."
"Heh." Lu Hong gave a cold chuckle. "What? Still coveting my world item?"
"Itâs not coveting. Itâs because you canât safeguard it. If you hand over this world item to me, I can grant you a condition. The Purple Extreme World is immensely powerful; we can offer you protection. If the Yin Demon Clan wishes to trouble you again, theyâll have to think twice. But the precondition is... you must hand over the world item to me."
Lu Hong wasnât very knowledgeable about the world item the sisters were talking about, but he guessed it could be something given to him by Lai Feng Heavenly God. He thought it was valuable enough already but didnât expect it to be a world item, which was even more terrifying than a divine item.
"No need for protection. Since my Star Sea could hold off the Yin Demons for ten thousand years, it can continue to do so without bothering you."
"And this world item was a gift from a friend, so I canât give it to you."
Hearing Lu Hongâs words, Zi Rui also snorted coldly. "Sis, no need to waste words on him. Let him suffer a bit and see our Purple Extreme Worldâs might!"
After speaking, endless purple light erupted from Zi Ruiâs body, surging toward Lu Hong. "This is my Purple Extreme Worldâs ultimate skill, Zi Ji Divine Light! Prepare to die!"
Although it was called Divine Light, there wasnât a hint of Divine Power within. It was just that the name was impressive.
Seeing the onrushing Zi Ji Divine Light, Lu Hong decided not to hold back. After all, he had given the sisters enough face earlier; now that they chose not to reciprocate, it was not his fault.
In the next second, Blood Qi Shockwave erupted like a nuclear explosion before the portal.
Although the sisters Zi Xin and Zi Rui were in the Third Transition Middle Stage, they were far inferior to Lu Hong.
Upon sensing Lu Hongâs powerful surge, the sisters hurriedly altered their skill, mobilizing purple light to form a thick defensive barrier.
The violent impact of Blood Qi Shockwave crashed onto the barrier, forcing the two sisters to retreat continuously, but fortunately, the barrier wasnât breached.
Before the sisters could celebrate, a lionâs roar echoed deafeningly.
Through layers of bloody mist, Lu Hongâs fist slammed into Zi Ruiâs shield, shattering it into pieces.
Zi Rui couldnât withstand such a powerful impact and was sent flying backward.
"Sister!" Zi Xin was shocked, urgently rallying all her strength for a counterattack against Lu Hong.
Lu Hong, however, responded with a spinning kick, shattering Zi Xinâs shield and making her follow her sisterâs fate.
Easily dealing with the two sisters, Lu Hong retracted his aura, stood before them, and smiled. "Do I now qualify to possess the world item?"
"Cough, cough!" The sister coughed up blood, her eyes filled with hatred. "Donât get too pleased with yourself. Many of our clanâs prodigies will settle this score with you!"
"Is that so? Let them come, then."
As soon as Lu Hong finished speaking, a streak of purple extreme light attacked from beyond the heavens. Its power was ten times stronger than what the sisters had wielded.
In response, Lu Hong immediately raised his arm as his Blood Qi surged forth, countering the extreme light.
Their forces clashed fiercely in midair, the violent shockwaves shaking the ancient path.
Lu Hong was forced back two steps by this energy, as for the one who unleashed the Skill, he couldnât be sure, but it likely wasnât pleasant for him.
Soon after, a man flew in, speaking solemnly to Lu Hong. "Are you the one who bullied people from my Purple Extreme World?"
"I was only acting in self-defense. It was your people who struck first."
The man from Purple Extreme World, with arms crossed, replied, "I donât care who started it, but attacking people from my Purple Extreme World wonât do!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Zi Xing, teach him a lesson for us."
Hearing Zi Ruiâs plea, Zi Xing nodded with a smile. "No problem, watch how I deal with him!"
With that, he transformed into a mass of purple extreme light, charging towards Lu Hong.
Being adept at close combat, Lu Hong was unfazed. With the Holy Sword in hand and the rhythm of battle activated, he easily perceived all of Zi Xingâs attack routes.
Clang, clang, clang...
Though Zi Xingâs flurry of attacks appeared fierce, they inflicted no harm on Lu Hong.
But to Zi Xin and Zi Rui, it seemed as though Zi Xing was dominating Lu Hong, forcing him to defend.
After the two exchanged blows for some time, Lu Hong understood Zi Xingâs tactics. It seemed that Purple Extreme Worldâs martial prowess hadnât advanced much compared to their Star Sea.
"Have you had enough?"
"Huh?" Zi Xing was momentarily stunned by Lu Hongâs words, and in that instant, Lu Hong turned his swordâs edge, launching an upward slash.
This single move completely disrupted Zi Xingâs combat rhythm.
It was Lu Hongâs turn to counter, as the Blood Holy Sword whipped up violent gusts, and sword shadows filled the air, smashing down towards Zi Xing.
Soon, Zi Xing could no longer hold on, being repeatedly repelled, accruing numerous scars on his body.
Seeing Zi Xing injured, Zi Rui quickly took out a signaling device to call for reinforcements again.
Being beaten with no chance to retaliate, Zi Xing was completely enraged, purple light erupting all over his body.
Unfortunately, Lu Hong had anticipated this move, his Blood Qi forming a sea, compressing towards Zi Xing, forcibly suppressing his outburst.
This nearly caused Zi Xing to suffer internal injuries from the suppression.
With a kick to the chest, Zi Xing was defeated, utterly and completely.
After defeating Zi Xing, Lu Hong turned to the sisters and asked, "Any other help you want to call?"
"You... you better not get cocky. Our clanâs top genius, Brother Zi Long, will be here soon!"
"Oh? Is that so? Then Iâll be waiting."
The three prodigies from Purple Extreme World glared at Lu Hong for several minutes before outside help finally arrived.
It wasnât just one person but a group.
Judging by their attire, it seemed they hailed from different worlds.
The one clad in purple regal attire was likely the Zi Long mentioned by the sisters.
Zi Long glanced at the injured trio before addressing Lu Hong. "Were you the one who injured people from my Purple Extreme World?"
"Arenât you going to ask for the context?"
"No need to ask." Zi Long shook his head slightly. "Regardless of the reason, harming my Purple Extreme World people requires a price."
"Heh, it seems people from one world really speak the same way. Looking for revenge, huh? Letâs see if you have the skills!"
Lu Hongâs words provoked laughter among those present. One woman spoke up, "Which world are you from, daring to show such audacity before Zi Long?"
Lu Hong cast a glance at her. "And you? Which world are you from?"
"Me?" The woman laughed. "I am Wu Lihua, from the Five Elements World."
"Never heard of it."
"You!"
Wu Lihuaâs expression turned icy with anger. She was a notable figure in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds Prodigy Listâs top hundred, and had never been disregarded in such a manner.
She then declared, "Brother Zi Long, let me handle this one. I must make him pay for his insolence!"
Zi Long did not stop Wu Lihuaâs decision, only advising with soft words, "Be careful. This lad isnât as simple as he seems."
"Rest assured, Brother Zi Long. Watch how I take this bratâs life!"
