Chapter 375: Even a fly wanted to bite a piece of meat from a lion
For Shi Xiaobai to be able to strike down Leonis in his fourth form, it was obvious that he did not use any ordinary sword technique. It was a fake Excalibur sword technique that Shi Xiaobai created.
This technique used the Turtle-speed Divine Punch’s method of compressing power as well as the idea of how all the energy is used at an instant from One Second Shura. Together with the power of his Sword Truth, Excalibur, it resulted in the creation of this technique.
Shi Xiaobai had previously used it against Heartless in the fourth level as well as when the black-robed blood figure attacked Sunless in the fifth level. Both times, he was emptied of all his energy.
Therefore, this sword technique could be called ‘One Sword Shura’. The destructive power of the technique was extremely powerful, but the price was very high. It was a single strike that placed everything at stake for victory!
During the crisis, Shi Xiaobai did not hesitate. He immediately used such a technique to prevent Leonis from crushing to death hundreds of spectators.
He had succeeded. Leonis’s right foot was penetrated, causing his massive body to crush to the ground.
However, he had failed as well. This was because his technique had failed to win him victory. Leonis’s roars were still constantly resounding and he would soon get back up!
Even after using his most explosive technique, Shi Xiaobai had still failed to defeat Leonis in his fourth form!
And having his energy emptied caused his vision to go into a blur.
The consecutive battles with the use of this technique finally depleted Shi Xiaobai of his stamina!
But even in such an abject state!
Even when the present enemy was so powerful!
Shi Xiaobai still refused to flee towards the south. Instead, he with absolute determination headed towards the north where Leonis was!
It was not his foolish kindness or sense of justice that made him have to save the Transcendents who had once mocked and despised humans.
But it was his responsibility and the role he had played that made Shi Xiaobai make such a choice.
How tragic was it for subjects to die under the foot of their king?
How pitiful and hateful was it for a king to trample his subjects to death?
It was impossible for Shi Xiaobai to ignore such a tragedy from happening.
Especially when the tragedy was partly due to his actions.
“A devil created by This King shall be finished personally by This King.”
With this thought in mind, Shi Xiaobai approached Leonis with sword in hand.
However, the energy depletion made his mind temporarily dizzy. While walking, he stumbled and nearly fell!
Shi Xiaobai hurriedly used his sword to support his body.
But at that moment, the angry roar from Leonis resounded in his ears once again.
The angry roar was in close proximity from the sky.
Leonis had stood back up again!
Shi Xiaobai looked up with great difficulty as his vision was somewhat blurry.
Now, he needed to rest.
But the cold reality would not give him any time!
Leonis’s furious and hateful eyes were like two pairs of burning suns glaring down at Shi Xiaobai, as though it would consume him in their flames.
But at this moment, the audience in the northern wing had already been evacuated. Shi Xiaobai’s attack had managed to buy them enough time to escape. It was equivalent to having saved their lives.
The audience in the other three wings did not dare to stay behind as they quickly evacuated.
The noisy din of people escaping bustled, as they headed towards the south, which was the farthest point from Leonis.
However, there were a small group of Transcendents that stopped when Shi Xiaobai stumbled.
Shouts like these resounded from the stands.
