Chapter 798 - The Battle of the Blood Oath (3)
Chapter 798 of "MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again" starts revealing the story: As the battle fervor continued to rise, Lu Hong made the first move, wielding the... Donāt miss it!
As the battle fervor continued to rise, Lu Hong made the first move, wielding the Holy Sword and slashing fiercely toward Taiāe.With a loud bang, Lu Hong was sent flying a hundred zhang away by Taiāeās ferocious strength.
"Youāre too weak," Taiāe said, looking at him indifferently, without moving to pursue.
Regaining his balance, Lu Hong took a deep breath. This d*mn Taiāe was indeed formidable; the Lion King was not just for show.
Seeing Lu Hong retreat with a single punch, the Lionheart elders were immediately pleased, with the third elder even boasting to the Netherworld God observing from the sidelines, "I wonder if our clanās current Beast King meets the great Netherworld Godās standards?"
The Netherworld God didnāt respond, instead focusing quietly on the figure on the arena.
Despite being defeated in one blow, Lu Hong did not give up. He knew the gap in strength between himself and Taiāe; to bridge it, he had to fight desperately!
With divine light surging, Lu Hong activated Descending Heavenly God and launched another attack at Taiāe.
This time, Lu Hong infused his immense blood qi and, with the amplification from Descending Heavenly God and Arrival of the Lion King, his strength was not much weaker than Taiāeās.
Another dull sound echoed as Taiāe steadily blocked, but Lu Hong did not retreat repeatedly as before.
This clash brightened the eyes of the beastmen watching beneath the arena.
"Good!" Taiāe couldnāt help but praise, after all, this guy was his own kind.
Yet, despite the praise, Taiāe did not hold back. With a swift move, he aimed a backhand punch at Lu Hongās face.
Lu Hong quickly dodged, turning the sword to slash at Taiāeās side.
Taiāeās body shuddered, and the power of the Lion King exploded, sending Lu Hong flying.
This time, Taiāe opened the chase, raining down sandbag-sized fists on Lu Hong.
Taiāe had extensive combat experience. Despite it being a melee, he fought closely with Lu Hong, which was crucial. The saying goes, "the longer the distance, the stronger." With a Divine Weapon in hand, to harness its full power, the fighting distance was of utmost importance. In such close quarters, Lu Hongās sharp Holy Sword almost had no effect and instead constrained his movement.
Sensing the limitation of his weapon in such close combat, Lu Hong sheathed the Holy Sword, clenched his fists, and engaged in a brawl with Taiāe.
The two exchanged blow for blow, fighting with fervor.
On the divine-powered reinforced arena, they continuously unleashed the power within them, the surging magic power clashing against the protective barrier, creating wave after wave of explosive roars.
Seeing Lu Hong sheathe his sword and begin to brawl with Taiāe, the observing beastmen gradually acknowledged Lu Hong as a true beastman.
In a beastman blood fight, who needs external weapons?
As the battle continued, Lu Hong was the first to sustain injuries, taking several punches from Taiāe.
Each punch made Lu Hong cough up blood.
Pained by the blows, Lu Hong recklessly risked his life, exchanging injuries with Taiāe, landing a punch on Taiāeās face.
The impact of this punch was immense; even Taiāe couldnāt help but momentarily lose focus and take three steps back.
Seeing Lu Hong pursuing him, Taiāe let out a Lion Kingās roar, forcing Lu Hong to retreat.
As they distanced themselves, Taiāe felt his nose heat up, wiped it, and found it was bleeding.
He immediately cursed angrily, "You d*mn brat, you even beat your father!"
"Heh, I donāt have a father who beats his own son to death," Lu Hong pointed at several places on his body. "I donāt even know how many bones of mine are broken; whatās a little nosebleed to you?"
"D*mn it, itās righteous for a father to beat his son, and besides, who are you calling āfatherā?"
"Because I like it. What can you do about it?"
"All right, then let me teach you a lesson today, so you learn to respect your father."
With that, Taiāe took the initiative to attack, the Lion King Fist exploding in all directions, pressing toward Lu Hong.
Naturally recognizing the power of this punch, Lu Hong immediately used Blood Qi Shockwave, violently releasing his blood qi.
With a resounding boom, the two forces continued to explode on the divine-powered protected arena.
At the same time, the two dark figures intertwined again, reigniting the fierce battle.
As the contest continued, Taiāe clearly felt Lu Hongās increasingly aggressive attacks, and his skills in punching and kicking had visibly improved.
Initially, Taiāe landed three or four hits on Lu Hong before Lu Hong could get a chance to retaliate, but after three hours, Taiāe hit Lu Hong twice and Lu Hong was already able to respond with a punch.
"Such a strong learning ability," Taiāe couldnāt help but lament internally, but no matter what, Taiāe still held the absolute upper hand.
The Lion Kingās bloodline had a tremendous regenerative ability, and Taiāe stood at the top of this lineage, his recovery far surpassed Lu Hongās.
Even though both exchanged blows that could cause comparable damage, with a stronger regenerative capacity, Taiāe naturally held the absolute advantage.
At this moment, Lu Hong had already shielded his body with his blood qi, accelerating his healing under the blessing of energy and minimizing the damage from Taiāeās punch power.
The battle raged on for seven days and nights. Lu Hong and Taiāe both approached the brink of exhaustion.
"You... you old thing, why havenāt you fallen yet?" Lu Hong, with little blood left to spit, lay on the arena like a heap of mud.
As for Taiāe, he wasnāt much better off, also sitting on the ground, supporting himself with an arm to stay upright. "Little rascal... how could your father possibly fall before you?"
"There are always new talents emerging, replacing the older generations; though youāre strong, this is no longer your era," Lu Hong steadied his breath, beginning to fully heal his wounds.
Hearing this, Taiāe didnāt refute. Over the past few days of fighting, Taiāe indeed acknowledged Lu Hongās strength, and with his youth, Lu Hongās future achievements would be beyond comparison.
Nevertheless, Taiāe was still worried about Lu Hongās ability to handle the beast tribeās affairs impartially, so he spoke up, "If someday there is resentment between the Human Race and beasts, how will you handle it?"
"Iāll establish laws and judge according to them."
"The beast race has suffered greatly warring against the heavens. How will you manage it?"
"Allocate a good domain, restore and nurture them. As long as Iām around, the beast race will not decline."
Hearing Lu Hongās response, Taiāe nodded, "If you indeed can do so, I can be at ease."
Saying so, Taiāe wobbled to his feet, "I have one last move. Letās see if you can handle it?"
Lu Hong also gathered his blood qi, barely standing up, "Bring it on. Am I supposed to fear you?"
Taiāe nodded, "I hope you can take it."
With that, Taiāeās momentum gathered, the Lion Kingās imposing aura surged, and a pair of scarlet lion eyes emerged from his back.
Sensing the terrifying power of this move, Lu Hong too mustered all his blood qi. Though without a sword in hand, Lu Hong still channeled energy into his fists, activating the Eternal Sword. This was the mightiest skill Lu Hong could present to date.
Observing the scene, the Lionheart elders nodded, smiling, "It seems our Lionheart lineage truly has potential, having created a unique skill."
The Netherworld God shifted his gaze from Lu Hong, glancing at Taiāe. Just with this self-created skill, if Taiāe leaves the Star Sea without suppression, he will quickly ascend to the God Realm. How far he goes from there will depend on his own fortune.
As the lionās eyes grew ever brighter, the pressure intensified.
As for Lu Hong, he gathered all his blood qi with a do-or-die determination, facing Taiāe.
After some time, the lion let out a deafening roar, transforming into a streak of Jin Guang, charging at Lu Hong.
Simultaneously, Lu Hong unleashed a charged punch, his immense blood qi surging with the power to break through heaven.
As the two forces collided, even the divinely reinforced arena couldnāt withstand the strain.
As for the beastmen beneath the arena, they watched the final outcome with tense expressions.
Finally, the dust settled, Lu Hong leaning on the Blood Holy Sword, barely standing, looking at Taiāe, who had fainted on the arena.
This sight truly surprised the Lionheart elders, who stood up with a sullen expression.
The Netherworld God coldly snorted from the side, "What, in an arena battle, you and I watch, and still you think thereās something fake?"
"This...," the Lionheart elders were also at their witās end. Lu Hong truly hadnāt resorted to tricks. Though Taiāe lost, it was evident to their Heavenly God eyes that he hadnāt gone all out.
After a long while, Taiāe finally regained consciousness and said, "I lost, but you have a long way to go if you wish to become the true Beast King, so be mindful."
