Chapter 140 – A Generation’s Emperor

He rotated his body as fast as lightning in a backflip, jumping with both hands off the ground. Lei Yu couldn’t see who his opponent was, but he had used a strong leg attack. He could only see that a short distance away from him, he noticed a pair of blood-red eyes staring at him from the shadows.

“Peng!”

Lei Yu’s threw a spin-kick, and his right leg smashed into the body of the unknown monster.

“What?!” Lei Yu’s face suddenly paled. A horrific aura had started spreading out from the target. Not only did it easily withstood Lei Yu’s attack, it was even able to launch a counterattack. Lei Yu’s body started explosively doing flips backwards in order to escape the counterattack.

“You’re courting death!”

The monster shouted as he jumped out of the shadows, his leg chopping down like a large knife. Lei Yu used both arms to brace himself as the leg smashed down on his cross-arm block. He was then forced to do another back flip to escape further back.

It was only then that Lei Yu was able to see his opponent’s appearance. Blood-red eyes, a height of at least two meters, blonde hair covering his head that connected down to his beard, making him look like a lion standing on two legs. Underneath his gray leather armor were huge muscles that showed off his powerful potential.

“Damn, Prophet Kalchas was right. Compared to his other two brothers, this guardian Pelagon is really strong!” Lei Yu’s heart was shocked, his countenance becoming grave.

Lei Yu didn’t want to think too much about this. With his body as soft and flexible as a willow tree, and his speed as fast as lightning, he quickly condensed his internal energy and rushed towards Pelagon. Lei Yu’s body perfectly portrayed his strength and flexibility as he looked for openings to attack through.

Pelagon didn’t waste any time, but focused; Wherever Lei Yu’s body flickered to, Pelagon’s eyes locked onto it and followed.

“This guy is too fearsome; his eyes are able to follow my every move! He’s way too strong! I can’t find any openings to attack.” Lei Yu was truly shocked. “I can’t let it go on like this…”

An opportunity!

Lei Yu suddenly spun his body, at the same time condensing internal energy in his leg. His right foot was covered in a lightning net as he whipped his leg towards Pelagon’s left shoulder.

“Bang!”

Both their bodies shook; Lei Yu spun backwards a few times, landing on all fours. Pelagon had a look of surprise on his face, never having expected that Lei Yu’s attack would turn out to be this strong.

At first, Lei Yu had been worth nothing in his eyes; being able to kill the brother trolls Titan and Talos wouldn’t count as much since he could easily do it as well. He had never expected Lei Yu’s previous attack to contain an energy that was difficult to put up with, even causing him to lose feeling in his arm.

“Kiddo, you’ve got some skills.” Pelagon said in a cold tone.

“Pelagon, you too are quite powerful. Before you came to this labyrinth, you were once the Commander-in-chief of a country. According to rumors, you have no flaws, so I’m curious if that’s true or not.” Lei Yu stretched his body, making it look as if he were ready to clash with the enemy.

Pelagon lightly stroked his golden eyebrows, “You’ve heard about me?”

“Who doesn’t know about the prowess of Emperor Pelagon? But it’s such a pity.” Lei Yu said, hinting at something.

“What’s there to pity?” asked Pelagon as he raised his eyebrows.

“It’s a pity that you were used by Crete. You came to the Cretan Labyrinth to become a guardian and gave up your country in the process. Do you know the current situation of your country? It’s at the point of perishing!”

“Nonsense! Your life is mine!” Roaring this, Pelagon’s body exuded a strong pressure that forced Lei Yu back two steps. And it was at this time when Lei Yu was retreating that Pelagon’s fingers slightly moved. The golden axe that was originally embedded in the ground started shaking, then suddenly flew back into his hands. The unbearable and overwhelming presence of a fiendgod appeared in front of Lei Yu’s eyes.

Furious, Pelagon rushed forth. Fortunately for Lei Yu, his agility was slightly better, so during the short period of time when his opponent was charging, Pelagon had no way of defeating him. He could see Lei Yu in front of his eyes, but the next moment his body would appear off to the side, several meters away.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

The furious Pelagon roared mournfully, and his head suddenly started shaking. Lei Yu was shocked to see Pelagon transform. His previous height of two meters was actually to grow even more now, reaching a full three meters. His originally human-looking hand was covered with golden hair, which had gradually started covering his entire body. His body having become bigger, the leather armor he was wearing started bursting at the seams before splitting into pieces and fluttering to the ground. His blood-red eyes started shining, now making Pelagon look pretty much like a terrifyingly enraged lion.

“Phew!” The axe flew out of Pelagon’s hand towards Lei Yu, its speed no different than a bolt of lightning. Fortunately, Lei Yu had been fully prepared for this. The moment the axe had left Pelagon’s hand, Lei Yu had already stomped the ground and had flown past the axe, rushing straight ahead.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”
