Chapter 420: Chapter 420 A Gash Upon Gold
A blazing flash erupted from the shadows, rocking both ancient and modern worlds!
My form materialized once more before Swanson Baton.
My clothing hung in tatters, white wounds marking my flesh.
More importantly, an even brighter golden radiance now covered my body!
Swanson Baton’s technique looked pitiful against my golden glow!
"This can’t be!" Swanson Baton’s eyes went wide!
Despite that brutal assault, I stood completely unhurt?
I gazed at Swanson Baton with composure and said, "Few people force me to activate my Saintly Body Skill through pure physical combat. You’re among them."
This was my way of recognizing Swanson Baton’s abilities.
Yet to Swanson Baton’s ears, it sounded like pure mockery.
"Arrogant fool! Let me test just how tough your flesh really is!" Swanson Baton bellowed, golden light flaring up again, rushing straight at me!
Against Swanson Baton’s full-power strike, I remained expressionless and casually stepped forward to meet him.
"Boom!"
The explosion was earth-shattering! The entire river surface trembled from the impact!
And Victor Green below ground suddenly coughed up fresh blood!
Blood trickled from his mouth corners, clearly overwhelmed by the force!
Luckily, everyone focused on our battle, so no one spotted Victor Green’s condition.
The brilliant light blinded everyone, making it impossible to see what happened above.
At last, the radiance faded away.
In the air, only I remained standing.
"Where’s Swanson Baton?" someone asked frantically.
"He’s... over there!"
Following their gaze, they saw Swanson Baton’s golden aura shattered, his body covered in fresh injuries!
Blood stained his frame, and the golden light vanished completely!
"You... what incredible strength..." Swanson Baton pointed at me floating above, struggling to rise from the ground.
I stared down at Swanson Baton coldly and said flatly, "If I’d wanted to, I could’ve killed you just then."
Swanson Baton’s face crumpled, defeat washing over his features.
Though he hated admitting it, he knew I hadn’t even used my trump card, the Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist.
"I surrender," Swanson Baton said quietly.
He turned to Randal Tristan and the others, saying, "I’m backing out of this heart technique competition."
"Swanson Baton, you!" Randal Tristan tried to protest, but Swanson Baton had decided and wouldn’t let him speak.
Then Swanson Baton looked up at me in the sky and said, "You’re the only person I, Swanson Baton, truly respect. We’ll cross paths again."
After those words, Swanson Baton turned and walked away, leaving everyone stunned.
Nobody expected Swanson Baton to lose so completely that he couldn’t even fight back!
More shocking still, Swanson Baton ranked among their strongest fighters.
"Listen up, this guy’s body is freakish. Don’t let him get close to any of you," Randal Tristan said icily.
I felt no panic; I descended gently, landing gracefully before the group.
Facing a dozen opponents surrounding me, I stayed as relaxed as someone taking a stroll, showing neither fear nor excitement.
"Stop wasting time. I’ve got business to handle," I said calmly.
Yet for a moment, nobody wanted to make the first move.
"Hmph, bunch of cowards," Randal Tristan sneered.
The next instant, Randal Tristan suddenly struck out with razor-sharp claws, lunging at me!
Seeing Randal Tristan attack, the others stopped hesitating and unleashed their techniques all at once!
Suddenly, attacks flew everywhere!
Victor Green couldn’t take it anymore; he scrambled to safety, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
"Crack!"
Randal Tristan’s claws sliced through the air toward my flesh.
The next second, the sky went dark as a door-shaped figure plummeted from above, aimed straight at me!
"Splash!"
From another direction, more technique-powered Inner Strength rained down like droplets!
Surrounded by enemies, I showed no fear!
"Pathetic tricks, hardly worth notice!" A gleam flashed in my eyes, then my body suddenly trembled!
In an instant, golden light burst from me as the center, spreading outward in all directions!
Every technique shattered in that moment!
"Don’t panic, everyone! This is the Heavenly Thunder technique I developed! Under Heavenly Thunder, this Mason..."
Randal Tristan couldn’t finish his sentence before his face went pale!
He watched in horror as I opened my mouth and actually swallowed the so-called Heavenly Thunder whole!
"Hardly worth notice," I said, flashing a grin that showed my white teeth.
Randal Tristan was terrified! My methods defied all logic and common sense!
"My turn to attack now?" My cold stare swept over everyone, each word like a death sentence that made them shiver!
"Whoosh!"
The next second, my figure vanished completely!
Golden light filled everyone’s vision, and my massive attacks looked like world-creating forces, leaving nothing alive in their path!
Everyone scattered, none willing to face my fist head-on!
"Boom!"
But I moved too fast, and someone inevitably couldn’t dodge in time.
Under my devastating punch, his body was completely pierced, crumbling to dust!
The moment he died, I immediately activated the Heaven Swallowing Skill, absorbing his divine sense too!
"Refreshing," I said, licking my lips with endless cold laughter.
Such brutal methods made everyone’s blood run cold!
"Soul Binding Lock!"
Right then, the Great Divine Slash shouted!
Instantly, several chains shot from his body!
The chains moved incredibly fast and disappeared into my head in a blink!
I suddenly felt my divine sense spin and nearly collapsed to the ground.
"Hm? What’s this?" I couldn’t help but pause.
In my moment of distraction, Randal Tristan saw his chance!
"Great Divine Slash!"
With Randal Tristan’s roar, a towering light suddenly rose!
With world-splitting power, the light instantly slashed toward my head!
My expression shifted slightly as I realized it was too late to avoid it.
"Swish!"
This light streaked across my chest!
A bloody gash appeared before everyone’s eyes!
"Excellent!" someone yelled excitedly!
This at least proved my body could be wounded!
Looking down at the cut on my chest, my face gradually turned ice-cold.
"You... you’re their leader?" My freezing gaze locked onto Randal Tristan.
Randal Tristan’s face changed instantly!
Damn, he’d become my target!
"Strike the commander first to defeat the army. Guess I’ll kill you first," I said with a cruel smile.
