580 One On One With The Zerg (2/2)

”What if you lose?” Wang Tong asked.

Without witnessing the human side of the dark one, Wang Tong would have already unleashed death onto Linmo. However, he was intrigued by what would happen if he played along.

”Lose? Haha, I will let you live if I lose.” Linmo rolled his eyes at Wang Tong.

Linmo was a terrible liar, and Wang Tong knew it, so he couldn't help but chuckle at the dark one's failed attempt to beguile.

The thought of a lying dark one also made Wang Tong lighthearted. Perhaps Linmo could not represent all the dark ones, but it at least signaled the slow transition of characteristics due to the dark ones' special genes.

The Zergs had gained the upper hand in the war; however, humans' comeback would hurt them much more after they had grown content. Wang Tong wagered that his surprise attack would have ushered a whole new array of emotions onto the dark ones.

Seeing Wang Tong unruffled by his threat, Linmo charged up his soul energy as the energy crystal on his body started to glow. A wide and heavy bone blade protruded out from under his right arm.

The scene agitated the throng of dark ones on the ground. The few higher level ones— judging by the color and size of their METAL—extended their wings and flapped them a couple of times while shrieking.

Linmo shrieked back at his minions, and suddenly, all dark ones started to fan their wings and let out high pitch shrieks.

Hiding at a corner of the city, Yin Tianzong watched the development with amazement and concern. This was not in their plan; Wang Tong was supposed to lure the high-level dark ones out of the city, but not to start a duel with the Zerg lord!

The human soldiers looked at each other with confusion on their faces. What was their captain thinking? Tan Bu and Lun Duo knew Wang Tong the best, and therefore, he was shocked that Wang Tong would challenge the Zerg in an honest one on one fight. The real Wang Tong they knew would either stab the Zerg lord while he was sleeping or use a trick to lure him into a trap. But a duel? That was just not Wang Tong's style.

”What the hell is going on? What are the Zergs yelling about?” Tan Bu murmured while holding back the urge to join Wang Tong.

”Are they...cheering for their lord?” Guan Dongyang remarked under his breath. He didn't want other people to know that his childish mind had thought that Zergs would cheer like a human.

However, when soldiers heard Guan Dongyang's comment, they didn't laugh at him. The up and downs in the pitch did resemble that of human cheerleaders shouting slogans.

While the rest of the human soldiers were still at a loss, the battle in the air had already started. As a blood kin, Linmo was much more powerful than a golden dark one.

Belligerent Dash

It was the first move that Linmo executed. He had learned it from a human warrior he killed not long ago.

Wang Tong started the battle lightheartedly. For the longest time, humans regarded the dark ones as a perfect, albeit bloodthirsty race. Not only could they copy any human's abilities, but they could also do it at an incredible speed. They were practically flawless. Wang Tong had thought the same; however, there and then, he had noticed a fatal flaw in dark ones.

Although this flaw might not be able to bring down the Zerg race right away, it would poison the Zergs slowly, and let it die in a gradual but painful death.

Not every race could control their emotions like the humans could. Desire, greed, and fear, were only a tip of the iceberg of emotions that could be deadly if left unchecked.

Once Linmo had entered battle mode, his power was on par with a legendary warrior, but on steroids. He was able to execute the human moves without using any human tactics. Backed only by his incredible physique and the energy in the crystal, he could deliver tremendous force to his opponent.

After a few exchanges, Wang Tong estimated that Linmo had reached level twenty-three. He guessed that the latter could even make it to the elite unit under Moye.

On the ground, Linmo's minions cheered and danced like there was no tomorrow.
