Chapter 851 - Huge battle (2/2)

“So much energy being used against me… It looks like a level ten protection will not be enough. Let us increase it to level twenty!”

Saiki smiled calmly as the golden energy shield around him grew brighter and enlarged in size. He stayed at the same spot without moving, waiting to take on the attack heading to him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Four massive energy beams smashed into the surface of the energy shield. The shield glowed as it absorbed a horrific amount of energy that kept building up before it exploded violently and shot toward the Xiahai Survivor Base. All the people there could feel the pressure of the blast against their chests. Their ears were humming as they fell into a temporary state of deafness.

“You people are overestimating yourselves!”

Saiki glanced at all Four Kings as he spoke, looking utterly arrogant.

Suddenly, a dazzling Divine Light pierced through from below and smashed into the energy shield that protected him. The blast shattered the golden energy shield and blew Saiki into smithereens.

The blast stunned the Four Kings, and they looked in the direction where the light came from. They saw Su Li and realized what had happened–she had launched her Divine Light.

“This King here finally understands what ‘The villain dies from talking too much’ really means. Haha, haha…” the King of Thunder quipped as he burst out laughing.

King of War could not help but sneer as well. “Garbage! I thought he could take the hit. He has disappointed me.”

“Hey, hey, hey, do not jump to conclusion so soon. Something does not seem right,” muttered the King of Blades. He continued to stare at the space with a frown.

“Does not seem right?”

King of Thunder did not understand what he was getting at, and asked, “What is it?”

“We saw him blow up into pieces, but there are no bloodstains at all. Do you not find it strange?” King of Blades asked.

Hearing the King of Blades’s opinion, it suddenly dawned on the King of Thunder and King of War that something was indeed amiss.

In the next instant, something shocking happened that made all of them open their eyes in horror.

The countless broken fragments in the sky turned into bits of golden light. Each piece was a light source, and they rapidly came together, forming a massive orb of golden light. The light was glaringly bright and resembled a golden crow. It was difficult for them to keep their eyes open. Then the bright golden orb morphed from a spherical form into a human form. As the light faded, what they saw was Saiki, completely in one piece.

“How… how is this possible?” exclaimed King of Thunder. He was so shocked his eyes were about to pop out.

The King of War felt chills running down his spine. How did Saiki resurrect himself after being blown apart? What breed of monster was he—the undead?

“I knew it wasn’t going to be so easy,” muttered the King of Blades.

King of Swords furrowed his eyebrows a little as he hovered in midair. He stared at Saiki without blinking.

“Hmm.”

Saiki let out a long sigh, then smiled as he turned to look at Su Li, and said, “I did not expect the maidservant I chose to be this capable. She is much stronger than every single one of you here. I am impressed that even the level twenty energy shield could not block her attack. But it is useless anyway. I have restored my body and fortified myself with this armor. Even if you smash me into pieces, I can still rapidly bring my body back together and revive myself. I am immortal. You people do not have what it takes to kill me no matter what you do.”

“Cannot kill you? I refuse to believe that nonsense!”

The King of War roared. The Inner Force surged within his body and he emanated a dark, murderous aura. With a fierce look on his face, he charged at Saiki like a bull as he twirled his sword.

The power he unleashed was so immense that even the laws of Heaven and Earth seemed to change along with him. Dark clouds filled the sky as a peal of rumbling thunder cracked above them, and the force he released smashed the mountains beneath him.

“Air Energy Cannon!”

Saiki muttered. Extending his right hand, his armor allowed him to draw the air around him and compressed it. With a thrust of his palm, he launched it at King of War.

The compressed air turned into a hot white orb of light and shot from his palm. The surface of the orb was crackling with energy as it hurtled straight toward King of War at lightning speed.

King of War instinctively crossed his arm in front of his chest. He chose not to evade it and prepared to take the direct hit.

BOOM!

The Air Energy Cannon exploded when it came into contact with his body. Smoke billowed out, and the explosion echoed through the sky.

When the smoke cleared, the King of War stood unscathed, brushing the dust off his body, and mocked, “Nothing more than a mediocre parlor trick! I have nothing to fear!”

“Is it so? Then I will let you have a taste of a bigger one.”

Saiki gave him a sinister smile. The armor on his body sucked in more air this time, and once again, it gathered in front of his palm. Slowly, the energy orb formed, and it looked far more destructive than the previous one.

HUM!

The fiery light illuminated both heaven and earth. The energy cannon was gigantic, and it moved at the speed of light. The fiery orb sliced through space with devastating effect, and its aura filled the entire atmosphere.

“King of War, you fool! Hurry and dodge it!” King of Thunder shouted.

King of Blades, King of Swords, and Su Li watched with their hearts in their throats. They worried for the King of War.

Dodge it?

The King of War wondered how in the world he was going to dodge the incoming blow.

He flashed a bitter smile, for he was too close to it to dodge it in time. The energy cannon was too fast, and it enveloped him in an instant.

BOOM!

The aftermath of the explosion was devastating. A thundering roar filled the air. A mushroom cloud rose, and a massive burst of energy waves spread across in all directions. King of Swords, King of Blades, and Su Li were all pushed back about four meters.

Swirling winds formed a vortex that sucked various small objects from the ground into the air like a roaring sandstorm.
