Chapter 414 (1/2)

Xiang Shaoyun was unable to move as fast as he usually did due to the gravity field, but he was still charging at the bear king at a speed that made it seem like the higher gravity didn't affect him at all. He joined both his fists together, and with a thick vicious gold energy spiraling around his two fists, he met the bear king's paw.

The paw and the Gold Helix Fist collided.

Bang!

This time, Xiang Shaoyun was not sent flying. He was able to stabilize his footing after taking only a few steps backward. As for the bear king, his paw had actually been pierced through by the spiraling attack, causing him to wail in pain. The attack had just about half-crippled his paw.

The bear king might have a powerful defense, but it was useless before absolute strength. He ignored his injury and lifted his other paw and slammed it at Xiang Shaoyun again. This was an attack he had released in fury, and it was about 30 percent stronger than the previous attack. As he waved his paw, a ma.s.sive amount of brown energy crashed down at Xiang Shaoyun like a mountain.

Xiang Shaoyun did the same thing and joined his fists, drew gold energy from his second star, and charged forward.

So he really is a simple-minded fool. He doesn't understand that his physical strength is useless against me, thought Xiang Shaoyun with contempt.

However, just as the bear paw was about to arrive, he found that the paw had been withdrawn. Instead, the bear's entire body crashed down at him.

Furious Bear Slam!

The bear king had gathered all his power to enhance his body with layers of thick brown energy and to increase the weight of his fall with the power of gravity. He slammed himself down at Xiang Shaoyun. The attack caught Xiang Shaoyun by surprise, and it hit successfully.

Bang!

Xiang Shaoyun was sent flying. Blood sprayed everywhere, making it clear he had been injured in the collision. The bear king's slam attack had surpa.s.sed the might of a fifth-stage Demon King and had reached the sixth stage. Not even Xiang Shaoyun could easily withstand an attack of that level.

The bear king pressed on without wasting any time. He slammed his paw forward, sending a ma.s.sive mountain formed of energy toward Xiang Shaoyun to finish him off.

Although Xiang Shaoyun had been caught by surprise, his defense and flesh were comparable in toughness to a demonic beast's. After all, he was one who had been tempered by natural lightning bolts.

The moment the body slam struck him, he realized his mistake of underestimating his opponent. Although his current injuries were not exactly light, they weren't that serious either. Just as the paw was about to arrive, he moved like a fish in water and slipped to the side with a wondrous footwork.

First step of the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps!

He roared furiously, and a boundless lightning energy converged around him. He raised his leg and stepped down, sending an indescribable power rippling over the arena. The bear king had the sensation a ma.s.sive mountain was collapsing on him. Instantly, all his defenses crumbled apart, and his ma.s.sive body was forced to bow down under the weight of the step. Blood sprayed out of his mouth.

Even so, he was still alive, and he struggled to straighten his body so he could continue the fight. Suddenly, Xiang Shaoyun's aura grew, and even more lightning energy converged around him. Slowly, he raised his foot and stepped down a second time.
