638 Beaten Up (1/2)
Lie Shan knotted his pained face and backed down. It was as if the fire was burning his body instead of Lie Jian.
”Moye, go to hell!” Lie Shan couldn't hold back his anger any longer, so he charged up his GN force, lit himself aflame, and charged at the dark lord.
Moye didn't even spare him a glance as he cast a blue fireball at Lie Shan. The attack hit home, and Lie Shan collapsed to the ground.
Lie Shan's failure amused Moye. Although they claimed to have reached enlightenment during cultivation, they sometimes possessed half the intelligence of a primitive Zerg. That being said, he felt grateful for Lie Jian; otherwise, he would never be able to use the power from a higher dimension.
Lie Shan dragged himself up and tried to put out the blue flame. However, Moye didn't give him a chance as he shot out two bone spears, one at Lie Shan and the other at Lie Jian.
There was no time for them to evade; but just as the audiences thought the two warriors' fates were sealed, a dark shadow flickered across the battleground and intercepted the bone spears. Moye narrowed his eyes as he realized that his real opponent had finally shown up.
Wang Tong patted Deep Blue's shoulder and the beast charged at Lie Jian while snarling with a wide open, bloody mouth. When he was close enough, he started to devour the blue flames as if it were some kind of delicacy.
”That's enough! Stop nibbling at me! Go and help Lie Shan!” Lie Jian pushed the beast away and sent a burst of soul energy out to put out the remaining fire.
”Wang Tong, you are an a*shole! What took you so long?” Lie Jian shouted, and then collapsed back to the ground out of exhaustion. Lie Jian had reached his limit; he was the only one who could stand up against Moye, and therefore, he needed to drag out the fight as long as possible in order to buy time for Wang Tong to get ready.
Deep Blue had quickly licked away the fire on Lie Shan as well; afterward, he turned to Moye and glared at the dark lord with two wild, glinting eyes that whined like flashlights. Wang Tong gave the beast a light pat and then said, ”Leave this eyesore to me, and finish off the rest.”
Deep Blue snarled and then launched himself at Moye's minions. With a single sweep of his paw, he had smashed half a dozen dark ones' heads.
Deep Blue's appearance had excited the other direwolves. Deep Blue was as important to the direwolves as Wang Tong was to Battle Wolf.
”Hehe...Wang Tong, I have been looking for you all over the place. Finally, you have come to me instead.” Moye locked his gaze on Wang Tong and said with excitement and a hint of trepidation. This human boy held the key to the ultimate secret of the universe. He lamented that he should have chosen Wang Tong instead of Patroclus five years ago.
Wang Tong smiled thinly. ”Why are you so eager to find me? Looking forward to courting death, I wager?”
”Haha! Well, well, tough guy…Who do you think you are? The entire human race was nothing but lab mice to us dark ones.”
”Is Patroclus also your lab mice? Then why is it that the immortals are so much smarter than dark ones?”
Moye's lips twitched a little. ”All humans will die in the end, including the half breeds.”
”Blah, blah... Tell you the truth, you are not my real opponent. ”
”Nonsense! If it is not me, who is it then?”
”Who do you think it is?” Wang Tong said as if the answer was self-evident.
It was an insult on Moye's old wounds. Spurred by anger, Moye contorted his face into an angry knot. He was one who had created the immortals, but he had made the mistake of choosing Patroclus as the experimental subject. He had loaded a gun and ended up shooting himself in the foot. After Patroclus gained the invincible body, he swooped down on Moye and robbed him of his authority and power among the Zergs. As Patroclus' power grew, the dark ones were becoming obsolete in the course of the Zergs' evolution. Patroclus could have killed Moye and claimed victory, but he didn't, and Moye loathed him for that. Patroclus let Moye live to see his power being taken over and to live in the shame for his failure.
Wang Tong's words had cut deep, and Moye could no longer hold his temper. Gleaming with blue lights, the dark lord threw himself at the former.
Wang Tong took a deep breath and then punched while taking a step forward. It was the most standard military training move.
KOM!
The punch landed on its target and Moye's angry expression froze upon contact. The impact made him lose his balance as he staggered back a few feet.
A pin drop quietness fell onto the battlefield, and on the other side, Harmon couldn't believe his eyes. He had never underestimated Wang Tong, however, never had he expected the other's strength to exceed Moye's. Or, did he overestimate Moye's power?
The dark lord was shocked by Wang Tong's power, even more so when he realized that the impact had fractured one of the bones in his right arm.
Moye struggled to his feet as his arm was twisted in the most inconceivable fashion. Anyway, in a matter of minutes, his fractured bone was reconnected and all broken tissues and sinews were healed. However, Moye's quick recovery couldn't hide the fact that Wang Tong had overcome him with ease during the last exchange of attacks.
Wang Tong dusted his shirt and said, ”I have heard about your shape shifting ability…You better use it now while you still can.”
Lie Jian had been carried to safety. He had woken up to see Wang Tong's last move, pouting and remarking in a sour tone, ”F*ck off, he is cockier than me! That was my line!”
The soldiers on both side slowly stop engaging each other without even realizing. Their attention was gripped by the fight between Wang Tong and the dark lord.
Moye didn't hold back his power as he did while fighting Lie Jian. One punch was enough to tell him that if he didn't give all he had in this fight, he would perish very quickly.
The blue flame slowly faded away from Moye's body and the energy crystal started to glow brighter by the second. In a few seconds, his body had grown to an epic proportion. A few purple guards flew to Moye with a blank face, allowing the Dark Lord to snap their heads off and suck on their brains. After each brain Moye devoured, his power grew by a few times.
”If I were boss, I would charge at him and kill him there and then!” Duo Lun piped up.
On the other side, Wang Tong didn't watch quietly until Moye had finally finished his transformation. ”Hehe…Is this the shape-shifting ability? How pathetic! No wonder Patroclus didn't even consider you a worthy opponent.”
The giant monster snarled and was about to attack Wang Tong, but he suddenly lost his target as the latter flashed out of view. Wang Tong then reappeared right beside Moye and asked, ”Are you looking for me?”
Without the slightest hesitation, Moye attacked Wang Tong with a flat backhand sweep. The attack carried enough power to erase a small mountain from the surface of Mars. However, Wang Tong didn't evade; instead, he raised his left arm and in an attempt to block.
KOM!
Moye's strike was sure, and it landed squarely on Wang Tong's arm. However, the latter was unwavering, and as the energy in the blow shot through his body, it was somehow absorbed into his system.
People finally realized that Wang Tong's hair had turned blonde, and they were even glowing.
Moye was taken aback by Wang Tong's power once again. After the transformation, Moye's power had increased to level thirty, and he didn't expect anyone to be able to block his attack at full force.
KOM!
Moye attacked again, but the second attack was blocked by Wang Tong as easily as the first one.
”Should it be my turn?” Wang Tong's lips hardened into a thin line. The power emanated from him caught Moye by surprise; he wasn't surprised by the amount of power in Wang Tong, but the lack of it.
The soldiers watched the battle in astonishment and admiration. They had always thought that Wang Tong's strong suit was in mastery; little did they know that he was even better at METAL combat.
”Haha, I think the boss is going to go commando again! I know that look on his face. I have seen it before.” On the spaceship, Karl flailed his arms in the air in elation. ”Kiss his A*S!” He shouted.
The audiences were gripped by the sudden turn of the events; no one had expected Wang Tong to be so powerful. His opponent was none other than the Dark Lord, the most fearsome opponent of the human race who had killed a level twenty-eight Einherjar with ease.
Wang Tong's face remained calm, but deep down, he felt the anger roiling inside him and ready to burst out.
