Chapter 752: Chapter 752 To Devour The Light
"Slaughtering chickens and dogs? Hahahaha!" Bert Mercer burst into laughter, unable to contain himself.
"What, are you still carrying that Martial Saint Weapon?" Bert Mercer probed cautiously.
I sneered back at him. "No need to fish for information. The Martial Saint Weapon isn’t with me."
Hearing this, Bert Mercer’s tension finally eased.
His aura started building slowly, the peak Military Marquis energy flooding the quiet bar.
I got to my feet. "Let’s move somewhere else. I don’t want to wreck their business."
After saying this, I headed for the exit first.
Bert Mercer watched my retreating form, his eyes narrowing to slits.
Without warning, he struck. His feet moved like lightning, fists driving ruthlessly toward my back!
"Mason Raymond!" Elena Green spotted the attack and screamed out!
But dodging was impossible now. A peak Military Marquis moved too damn fast!
"Clang!"
Bert Mercer’s fist slammed straight into my back!
The sharp sound rang through the entire room!
Yet this vicious blow didn’t budge me an inch.
I turned around slowly, smirking. "Even a cheap shot was worthless. You really are garbage."
Bert Mercer’s expression shifted, and he backed away instinctively, wariness creeping across his face.
"I’ll be waiting outside," I said icily.
After dropping those words, I spun around and left the bar.
Bert Mercer snorted coldly, then hurried after me.
"Should we follow?" Saumel Baton asked.
Elena Green nodded. "Let’s go watch."
——
Ten kilometers out sat an abandoned factory.
The place was empty, pitch black without any lights.
I stood there, quietly waiting for Mercer to show up.
Minutes later, a beam of light flashed before me, and I saw Bert Mercer gripping a crossbow, positioned in front of me.
"Mason Raymond, today you die!" Bert Mercer declared coldly.
I stared at Mercer without expression. "Seems like you’re not worth much to the Capital City Martial Arts Association."
Bert Mercer’s brow creased, and he replied coldly, "What’s that supposed to mean?"
"If you mattered, they wouldn’t send you here to get killed," I mocked.
Bert Mercer’s eyes widened dramatically, and he snarled furiously, "Cocky bastard!"
With those words, Bert Mercer raised his crossbow, and a light beam shot toward me!
This crossbow channeled pure Inner Strength! Running through the weapon, it could multiply the power dozens of times!
The light beam packed tremendous force, racing straight at me!
My face stayed calm. I clenched my fist, then launched a punch!
"Boom!"
The thunderous impact shook the ground and sent smoke billowing!
The lonely ruined factory crumbled to dust instantly!
Under my fist, the crossbow’s light beam shattered!
Yet I remained steady, seemingly unaffected.
Bert Mercer’s face changed again, and he muttered coldly, "What a tough body!"
"Show me whatever tricks you’ve got," I said, staring quietly at Bert Mercer.
Bert Mercer sneered back. "Don’t celebrate yet. That was just testing the waters. Now for the real deal!"
As he spoke, Bert Mercer’s figure shot upward!
The crossbow in his grip gleamed, as if gathering some horrible power!
"Crackling!"
Strange sounds sparked from the crossbow.
"Hundred-Lighted Slash!"
With Bert Mercer’s roar, his crossbow suddenly blazed with brilliant light!
Instantly, countless light orbs fired toward me!
These orbs carried devastating energy, and wherever they passed, even the air caught fire!
One after another, the orbs bombarded me wildly, trying to tear me apart!
This was one of Bert Mercer’s signature moves. Such massive energy, boosted by the crossbow, held unthinkable power!
My expression stayed cold, and facing these hundred orbs, I showed no fear.
With a roar, golden light exploded from my body!
The brilliant glow lit up everything around us instantly!
"He’s planning to take this Hundred-Lighted Slash head-on!" Elena Green, watching the fight, seemed to realize something!
Surprise flickered across Saumel Baton’s face.
Just as Elena Green said, I intended to absorb this technique with my bare body!
"Boom boom boom!"
Nearly a hundred orbs pounded down on my body!
The ground beneath my feet collapsed immediately, cracks spreading everywhere!
"Boom!"
The ground around me completely caved in. Debris shot outward like bullets!
Seeing this, Bert Mercer couldn’t help but sneer. "Arrogance will cost you dearly."
From his elevated position, he gazed down at the smoke-filled area with a cruel smile.
But the next second, Bert Mercer’s face changed drastically.
All the ground around me had collapsed, but the ground under my feet stayed solid, forming a tall stone pillar.
My clothes were torn to shreds, but my body was unharmed.
Under the golden light’s glow, I looked like a god!
"How... how is this possible!" Bert Mercer’s face instantly paled!
I looked in Bert Mercer’s direction and sneered. "That’s your technique? Pretty pathetic."
Bert Mercer flew into a rage!
"Don’t get cocky!" Bert Mercer roared, gripping the crossbow with both hands!
It looked like Bert Mercer’s inner strength was flowing into the crossbow!
Within seconds, the crossbow contained unimaginable power – like it was draining Bert Mercer’s inner strength completely.
The space in front of the crossbow filled with terrifying oppressive energy.
This pressure was so intense that even Elena Green felt uncomfortable.
"Go die!"
With Bert Mercer’s roar, a blazing orb burst from the crossbow!
The orb shone incredibly bright, rivaling the sun and moon. Its contained power was beyond imagination!
"Such frightening power," Elena Green frowned slightly.
She looked in my direction, clearly concerned.
Because at that moment, I showed no signs of fighting back.
"Boom!"
Powered by the crossbow, that light orb rolled toward me!
The orb stretched several meters across, looking massive at first glance.
Compared to this orb, I appeared tiny.
In a heartbeat, the orb reached me!
Finally, I made my move.
I slowly lifted my hand and said coldly, "Divine devouring skill!"
Instantly, I opened my mouth wide.
I drew the light orb toward me, and the next second swallowed it straight down!
This scene left everyone’s jaws hanging!
Even Elena Green and Saumel Baton stood there stunned!
"What... what is this..." Elena Green said, her beautiful eyes full of shock.
"I’ve never seen such a brutal technique..." Saumel Baton cried out, equally amazed.
