Chapter 141 The Battle of Villains
A young man landed, and he was none other than Zhou Jun.
Long Tian arched an eyebrow, surprised to see someone of his own age. "Who are you?" he asked.
Zhou Jun smiled, his tone calm. "I don't think we need to delve into personal introductions. The point is, it would be wise for you to leave this place," he said.
"Ohh, and why is that?" Long Tian inquired, growing more intrigued.
"I just assisted you, and it's best for you to leave before more danger arises," Zhou Jun replied.
"You know what? I don't need your assistance. In fact, the fun part has just begun, and you interrupted me," Long Tian said, crossing his arms.
Zhou Jun became visibly displeased upon hearing this. "I couldn't care less about your 'fun part'," he said, then proceeded to walk forward, heading towards the crystal.
But Long Tian suddenly blocked his path.
His gaze turned icy, "What is the meaning of this?" he said coldly.
"Where do you think you're going?" Long Tian confronted.
"That's none of your concern," Zhou Jun replied, gripping Long Tian's arm. However, his expression changed to surprise as his grip didn't even budge Long Tian's arm.
"Ohh, looks like you have a bit of strength," Long Tian sneered. "And it seems you're eyeing that crystal. Too bad, son, it belongs to me," he said with a grin.
Zhou Jun's gaze grew colder, "Then you'll pay the price," he said coldly, accompanied by a powerful aura emanating from his body.
Long Tian felt adrenaline surging within him, his aura surging alongside lightning striking down from the sky.
Bang!
Zhou Jun swiftly evaded backward, narrowly escaping the lightning bolt.
His forehead furrowed in disbelief, surprised that someone his age could summon lightning.
In the next moment, a hologram abruptly materialized before him.
[Warning, S-level danger detected. You better stay away]
Zhou Jun's expression filled with astonishment. 'Is there a powerful soul beast here?' he wondered inwardly.
[The danger is right in front of you]
Hearing this, Zhou Jun was even more surprised, eyes widened in shock. The man in front of him was apparently a level S threat... He found it hard to believe.
But he didn't have time to think as a bolt of lightning came his way; he quickly dodged, causing the lightning to strike the wall behind him.
"Why the change in your expression?" Long Tian questioned, his eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"Fuck!" Zhou Jun spat, launching himself at Long Tian.
His punch aimed for Long Tian's face, but Long Tian deftly evaded, countering with a swift strike to Zhou Jun's ribs. Zhou Jun grimaced in pain but retaliated with a brutal series of blows.
Long Tian skillfully parried and sidestepped every blow, yet he couldn't ignore the raw power behind Zhou Jun's attacks. He could feel that they were evenly matched, both existing in the same realm of Flowing Qi.
With each passing moment, he sensed Zhou Jun's strength intensifying.
Thump!
A forceful punch struck his face, forcing him to stagger back a few steps.
His features contorted with fury.
"It appears I can handle you," Zhou Jun grinned.
Long Tian's anger flared at his taunt. "Ohh, you're that confident?" he spat back, his voice laced with disdain.
In the next moment, a crimson aura cloaked Long Tian's body, and his skin transformed into delicate dragon scales.
With lightning crackling at his feet, he materialized in front of Zhou Jun, his fist tightly clenched, aimed directly at his head.
But just as the blow was about to land, a brilliant golden light erupted from Zhou Jun's form, obscuring Long Tian's vision.
Seeing this as his chance, Zhou Jun conjured a sword made of golden energy and thrust it toward Long Tian.
However, his eyes widened in disbelief as the sword merely left a small bloody scratch on Long Tian's skin without penetrating.
"Bastard!" Long Tian roared, summoning a massive bolt of lightning from the sky.
Zhou Jun swiftly dodged, but the lightning grazed him, momentarily immobilizing him.
His expression darkened; his razor-sharp sword couldn't pierce Long Tian's skin. Now he understood why Long Tian was classified as a level S threat.
Long Tian's vision cleared, his eyes narrowing with unmistakable fury fixed on Zhou Jun.
Witnessing Long Tian's expression, Zhou Jun hastily stated, "You won't want this."
"Ohh, you're threatening me now?" Long Tian sneered.
In the blink of an eye, a specter of Zeus materialized behind him, the sky engulfed in ominous darkness resonating with thunderous rumbles.
Zhou Jun's eyes widened in disbelief; he recognized it—the apparition of Zeus!
He could no longer convey his astonishment as lightning struck once more.
Suddenly, a silhouette of Gilgamesh emerged behind him, intercepting the lightning. Wings sprouted from his back as he levitated mid-air.
"I warned you, you won't want this," he said icily.
Instantly, a longsword manifested in his right hand, and he lunged swiftly, aiming to strike Long Tian.
In a swift motion, Long Tian unsheathed his Uchigatana.
Clank!
The clash of the swords reverberated, igniting sparks of potent energy.
"You possess a captivating martial spirit," Zhou Jun commented.
"You'll be astonished by its potential," Long Tian retorted.
In the next moment, they were locked in a brutal confrontation.
The resounding clash of swords pierced the air, intermingled with the collision of dazzling golden and yellow lights.
They moved with incredible speed. Zhou Jun wielded his mastery over golden energy courtesy of his martial spirit, Gilgamesh, while Long Tian utilized his lightning-fast agility empowered by Zeus, his martial spirit.
Clank!
Clank!
Clank!
The battle intensified, the clash of their auras creating a searing atmosphere.
At that moment, Zhou Jun ascended high into the air, his hands raised. "Come forth, my troops!" he bellowed.
In an instant, a colossal circle materialized in the sky, and a torrent of golden swords rained down at an incredible speed.
Witnessing the onslaught, Long Tian moved with the swiftness of lightning, expertly avoiding each descending sword. Nevertheless, the sheer number of blades proved overwhelming, leaving him with unavoidable cuts.
Zhou Jun gazed down with satisfaction; his swords continued their relentless assault on Long Tian. This was one of Gilgamesh's formidable techniques, Golden Slaughter!
But his eyes widened in alarm when he caught sight of a lightning-fast yellow blur hurtling toward him.
He attempted to dodge, but Long Tian was already upon him, seizing his neck.
"I've got you now!" Long Tian grinned brutally.
With an iron grip, he flung Zhou Jun into a nearby building.
Bang!
The building crumbled instantaneously upon Zhou Jun's impact.
Long Tian didn't relent; his mouth bulged, and he spewed a massive fire into the building.
The flames spread wide, nearly consuming the entire structure.
He didn't halt there either; the tattoo on his right arm glowed red, and he thrust his fist toward the building, creating a colossal fiery punch hurtling toward the target.
Boom!
The punch connected with the structure, causing it to explode in a deafening blast.
The once grand and towering building was reduced to mere ruins, stripped of its former glory.
Long Tian landed right at the epicenter of his destructive feat, his body adorned with wounds and sword stabs, sweat streaming down his form.
This marked his first encounter with such intense combat; he pushed past the pain as he advanced.
Meanwhile, Zhou Jun crawled on the ground, his expression a mixture of panic and fear. His body bore severe wounds, some even scorched from the flames.
"There's no escape for you!"
