Chapter 1968: Chapter 998: The Final Journey (End)
The Duke of Storm City felt something off as soon as he clashed, because he had the advantage of foresight, able to predict Zhang Mengchan’s moves, while Zhang Mengchan was gifted with a sixth sense, as if fused with the world’s consciousness.
Every time the Duke of Storm City made a move, Zhang Mengchan could also sense it in advance.
This differs from Li Ke using the Replica Backpack to gain foresight; Li Ke’s was borrowed, Zhang Mengchan’s was innate.
In just a few breaths of time during their brief exchange, the Duke of Storm City faintly realized that this young man’s foresight ability seemed one step faster than his!
How is this possible? The Drama Master is supposed to be the synonym for foresight!
Unlike the aggressive tactics of other knights, Zhang Mengchan’s attacks were more like a gentle breeze and drizzle, like a wisp of smoke in the sky; you see it there, but as you reach out, it dodges away.
The Duke of Storm City only felt as if two wisps of breeze were accompanying him, moon in a clear sky.
He sneered coldly, striking like thunder.
With a boom, the Duke of Storm City used a punch and kick to hit Zhang Mengchan’s left and right shoulders, almost knocking the young knight off the cliff.
The Drama Master better understands how to restrain another Drama Master; when your attack is so fast that the opponent cannot dodge even if they see it, that’s enough.
The bloodline born from the Giant female and Demigod Drama Master endowed the Duke of Storm City with an extraordinary talent; he possessed the physical advantage of the Giant Race, making his strength surpass even that of knights after becoming a demigod.
It must be said, the Drama Master Clan’s prediction was correct; giants and new human species are like evolved creatures, the more certain future.
Zhang Mengchan rolled a few rounds on the ground and stood up, undeterred: "So you were hiding your strength, no wonder you’re so fearless, let’s go again."
He wasn’t aware that all giants have racial talents, and the Duke of Storm City was no exception.
His racial talent is even simpler and purer, just making his body stronger.
This card was meant to be saved for Qing Chen, but unexpectedly Zhang Mengchan forced it out.
Despite Zhang Mengchan and Shadow attacking from both sides, the Duke of Storm City was still able to respond effortlessly.
Only because that one step faster foresight was not enough to make up for the gap in speed and strength between them.
Both sides were as fast as lightning on the mountain peak, with occasional thunder sounds echoing.
The mountains shook, the sky shattered.
The true pinnacle battle between demigods unfolded in this unnoticed corner.
But every flash of thunder resulted in Zhang Mengchan being severely injured.
...
Down the mountain, Li Yunjing lowered his sleeves and looked up at the stormy changes at the mountain peak, lying beside him were the corpses of Drama Masters, the entire mountain range seemed to have collapsed from the fight.
No one knew what realm Li Yunjing reached at this last moment, later generations could only view the battlefield and speculate, in this day, Li’s Exiled Immortal had already ascended to a demigod realm, able to reach the stars with a stretch and sink the land with a palm.
Li Yunjing silently gazed at the battlefield, but had no intention of helping Zhang Mengchan.
Only he knew best that a master’s transformation requires a bloody battle.
At this moment, a woman approached from the foot of the mountain, Li Yunjing turned and saw it was Zero.
Zero smiled and nodded at Li Yunjing, continuing to walk upwards.
...
As he suppressed Zhang Mengchan’s attack, the Duke of Storm City sneered, "Overestimating oneself."
Yet the knightly youth did not respond, he only ceaselessly felt the world during the battle, that world’s consciousness like a warm ocean, washing over his body.
As if he were clear about the earth’s textures.
As if he comprehended this world’s emotions.
Darkness in eyes, light in heart.
From slum to demi-god knight, he had retreated, chosen, abandoned, persisted,
If this would be a tale relished by posterity, then how should it end to live up to the courage of when he gouged out his own eyes?
Breathe.
The fire rune on Zhang Mengchan’s cheek suddenly blossomed at this moment.
In the next moment, the Duke of Storm City surprisingly found that his assured punch did not land on Zhang Mengchan.
His pupils contracted suddenly!
The knightly youth’s speed was one step faster!
He heard Zhang Mengchan gently say, "Among all shortcuts in this world, I walked the longest one."
The Duke of Storm City flashed before him, a fist of thunder ensnared, Zhang Mengchan astonishingly caught it with his left hand and borrowed power to continuously retreat.
The youthful knight’s silhouette flew in the air, pulling a strand of hair from behind his ear, he blew it forcefully.
Yet that black hair like needles sealed all escape routes for the Duke of Storm City.
With a boom, even the cliff where Duke of Storm City stood was cut away by those Autumn Leaf Knives!
Enormous rocks fell down, the Duke of Storm City endured the pain to leap up, landing in a safe place.
The black robe shattered, strands of black hair enveloping the Knight Vital Energy, piercing through his body in more than ten places!
Were it not for the Duke of Storm City dodging vital points, even his heart would have been pierced!
The Duke of Storm City looked down at the wounds on his body, coldly smiled and rushed to Zhang Mengchan, no longer giving Zhang Mengchan the chance to fire Autumn Leaf Knives.
As his punch crashed forward, he found Zhang Mengchan continuously retreating.
In a split second, countless golden meteors flew up from distant battlefields, over the mountain peak, heading straight for the Northwest Spirit Shrine.
These golden meteors lit up the extreme night, casting countless shadows before Zhang Mengchan.
Zhang Mengchan took a deep breath.
Among all shortcuts in this world, I walked the longest one!
In a flash, while retreating to avoid the Duke of Storm City’s attack, he took out a pair of scissors from his sleeve, snipping twice to cut off two shadows from the void.
