Chapter 2545: Chapter 2545: Trapped in the Game
A black aura slowly emerged around Julius Reed.
The two streams of aura collided like two currents.
Strangely, the two forces repelled each other, showing no sign of merging.
"The kingly path is good, but your kingly path still lacks something." Julius Reed reached out and pointed at Silvio Reed.
Suddenly, some black dots appeared on the golden aura.
Like stains.
Dirty.
"Now, your kingly path is complete."
Julius Reed spoke calmly.
He simply had a circle of black aura around him, gradually excluding the golden aura.
Without releasing great power to counter the kingly path.
Yet this circle of black aura allowed him to evade the oppression of the kingly path.
While everyone around knelt, Julius Reed stood calmly, unperturbed.
"What is this?"
Silvio Reed began to exert pressure, gradually directing his power towards Julius Reed!
"These are stains, the stains of your life." Julius Reed acted again, tapping lightly.
Oddly, these black dots managed to ignore the golden light, appearing around Silvio Reed.
With each tap, Julius Reed caused Silvio Reed’s brows to furrow.
Yet he still couldn’t understand what Julius Reed intended.
Silvio Reed decided to push further!
He used all his strength!
The golden light began to flood, completely filling an entire area!
Soon, Julius Reed began to endure immense pressure!
His face had turned pale, clearly bearing an increasingly intense burden.
Yet Julius Reed paused and continued his previous actions.
"What are you doing exactly?" Silvio Reed couldn’t fathom, feeling confused for the first time.
Given his understanding of Julius Reed, this wasn’t someone who’d meekly admit defeat; pursuing him for so long was to settle the score.
But why, despite exerting all his strength, did Julius Reed merely defend, and even against consecutive attacks, still not resist?
Could it be the person before him wasn’t Julius Reed?
Silvio Reed harbored some doubts, but they vanished quickly.
Beneath the sky, besides Julius Reed, no one seemed capable of resisting his kingly path!
Even the top Great Grandmasters could only kneel before his kingly path.
"What are you doing exactly!"
Silvio Reed angrily questioned.
He felt that within half a minute, Julius Reed wouldn’t be able to hold on.
Soon, after tapping several black dots, the black aura around Julius Reed finally dispersed.
The golden kingly path power enveloped him again!
"Admitting defeat, my dear student, but that’s not your character!"
Silvio Reed wanted to thoroughly crush Julius Reed!
As long as Julius Reed knelt, this duel would be definitively over.
The kingly path could destroy Julius Reed’s martial heart, reducing him to a mere shell!
Because no one could stand again after kneeling!
But at this moment.
Julius Reed unexpectedly began to float upwards!
It was the divine blood within him that provided the power to counter Silvio Reed!
Without the body of a Demigod, such passive defense couldn’t possibly withstand Silvio Reed’s years of kingly path!
It was the most orthodox kingly path in the world!
"Standing up?" Silvio Reed had a bad feeling.
Beneath the kingly path, standing was already difficult, not to mention now Julius Reed was flying.
Before Silvio Reed could exert more pressure, Julius Reed finally acted.
On the plains.
Within a mile radius, it was all filled with Silvio Reed’s kingly aura.
The only one not subdued was Julius Reed who floated in the air.
Julius Reed sliced open his finger, allowing the divine blood to slowly flow out.
This blood had recognized its master, unless Julius Reed died, or a so-called god appeared.
Otherwise, the blood would always return to Julius Reed’s body.
Extending his hand, Julius Reed lightly slashed!
Horizontally and vertically intersecting!
The power of the divine blood easily cut Silvio Reed’s kingly aura!
No matter how strong he was, he was ultimately a martial artist of the post-martial arts era.
Capable of imprisoning the Five Element True Monarch, only because the opponent had only the soul!
Were he to encounter martial artists of the Nine Nether True Monarch era, perhaps no one now could engage in a battle.
"This is..."
Despite having considerable intelligence, Silvio Reed remained unclear about Julius Reed’s demigod body.
Watching his kingly aura being divided, his premonition grew increasingly grim!
Yet, his power was clearly above that of his student!
Both dignity and ego drove Silvio Reed to unleash tremendous energy!
In the air, Julius Reed suffered extraordinary pain and difficulty but ultimately endured without being crushed by the kingly path.
With the divine blood flowing, his stamina dwindled!
Yet he continued drawing, crisscrossing!
Finally, he paused.
"The kingly path is not the Heavenly Dao."
Julius Reed shook his head at Silvio Reed, raising his middle finger.
Silvio Reed was taken aback but quickly realized!
The intersecting lines weren’t anything else but a chessboard!
Julius Reed had used Silvio Reed’s kingly aura to create a chessboard!
Plus the crisscrossing lines completely separated Silvio Reed’s power!
Now, he too was a participant in the game!
"What a grand game, student, you truly haven’t disappointed me."
Silvio Reed began to float as well, but due to his power being divided, he couldn’t escape this chessboard, like Julius Reed hovering outside.
"Haha, unknowingly, I’ve entered the game, and I’ve become a piece."
Silvio Reed chuckled self-mockingly: "In terms of grand strategic encounters, your scope far surpasses mine. But that’s all. Life isn’t just about scope, there’s also the present. You created this chessboard; perhaps I’m the protagonist."
But after saying this, he realized something was wrong!
Earlier when Julius Reed tapped those black dots, they turned out to be black pieces!
Already positioned!
Encircling Silvio Reed completely!
"You’re cheating?" Silvio Reed turned pale!
He’d been puzzled all along, wondering what those black dots meant!
Now it seemed, they were black pieces!
Chess pieces!
"You’re the white piece, I’ll give you the first move." Though Julius Reed’s face was exceedingly pale, he still kindly extended his hand, smiling slightly at Silvio Reed.
"Haha."
Silvio Reed squinted, but his inner fury found no outlet!
It was a chessboard!
He was trapped inside!
Starting as a losing game!
Leaving no path to move.
Trying to trap me?
Silvio Reed attempted to retract his power but couldn’t.
The intersecting lines divided his power completely!
Only the force within one square remained under his control.
"What’s wrong. Not making a move?" Julius Reed asked with a smile.
"Do I have anywhere to place a piece?" Silvio Reed laughed heartily: "I’m not like you, I don’t care about these, I’ll overturn the chessboard!"
"You can." Julius Reed said calmly: "If you can leave."
His confidence made Silvio Reed very uncomfortable!
"Julius Reed, I’m ultimately your mentor."
Silvio Reed hesitated briefly but abandoned the idea of playing.
This was a losing game.
No move possible.
"Remove it, let me go."
