Chapter 219 - An Unexpected Opponent (2/2)

Biggie stared at him in dead silence. He did not quite understand the meaning of the black-robed man.

“To be more exact, I’m you from the past – the part of you that you forgot,” the red eyed man replied as he held out his right hand that held a saber.

The saber was stained a dark red. Its blade was black, with a series of strange ciphertext carved on the back.

“Massacre God?!” The moment he saw the saber, Biggie called out its name but the rest of his memory of the saber vanished.

“I didn’t think you’d recognize it,” the red-eyed man said and handed the saber to Biggie.

After a moment’s hesitation, Biggie held out his hand to take it.

The moment he grasped the handle, he knew it was a god item. He had read about the saber’s history but still had no memory of himself. However, the feeling that he had done something with the saber lasted a long time. The memory of the saber was full of bloodshed.

“The old man was right. Only one person will get out of here alive today,” The red-eyed man suddenly said. “If you win, you’ll regain all your forgotten memories. If you lose, I’ll replace you as one of Gu Ding’s crew.”

“They’ll know you’re not me.” Biggie was very sure.

“That’s not true. Don’t you know? We’re just two sides of the same consciousnesses right now? As soon as you die, I’ll gain full control of your body. My combat effectiveness is superior to yours and I’m sure they’ll more than welcome me back than a cook. Besides, all they’ll have to do is hire another cook once I become their main combatant.” The red-eyed man also had a Massacre God in his hands.

“If that’s the case, let’s fight!” Biggie was finally pissed off. Not only was he trying to replace him as one of Gu Ding’s crew, but he was also trying to change his dream of becoming a chef. He could not tolerate these any longer.

“Then show me how much you’ve improved after these few days of special training!” The red-eyed man swung his saber, causing a blood-red force to pour out like a pillar of light that gave off a terrible wailing sound in the void.

Biggie’s moves were similar to his. He swung his saber as well and a similar blood-red force shot out like a beam of light, colliding with the red-eyed man’s strike.

With a god item under their control, their energy had been raised to an unprecedented level.

As the forces collided, the arena seemed as if it was about to crumble. Not only was the stand destroyed, but the ground on which the two men were standing seemed to be sinking as well. Even the battle cage’s heavy metal gates were bent from the fight.

The first collision created such a terrible impact that Biggie did not expect. The blow he had just delivered would have killed the three demigods without any difficulties. This was the difference between a god item and a demigod item.

Then again, it was only the first blow.

Looking at Biggie’s body flicker up and down like his own, the red-eyed man stabilized himself and lifted his saber once more, aiming it where Biggie would land with a diagonal strike.

Another burst of dark-red force shot out like the roar of a cannon thundering toward Biggie with the killing intent.

Biggie held the saber in both hands and stopped the blow despite not being on his feet just yet.

Since he was successful with that one attack, the red-eyed man would naturally not let his opponent go so easily. He would take advantage of this weakness! A series of blows were thrown as the third, fourth, and fifth attacks were launched.

Biggie turned his body and managed to swing his saber to meet the onslaught of attacks from his opponent.

At this moment, the red-eyed man had managed to close the gap. He once again swung his saber when he was less than a meter away from Biggie. Another dark-red force shot out at close range. Despite struggling to hold it back with his saber, Biggie’s huge frame was still immediately flung back like a sandbag.

Biggie suffered some damage to his internal organs from the onslaught despite using his Massacre God to deflect most of the damage.

As he got up from the ruins, he gasped for breath. He could feel searing pain all over his body but he knew he could not fall. No matter how hard the battle would be, he had to win!
