Reclaiming the energy that the sura king had spent on a massive explosion was like spitting out a gob of saliva and trying to suck it back in: somewhat disgusting and all but impossible.
Xiao Zhengyang frowned. "I'm not sure if others would be able to do it, but the sura king surely can—no, he's already done it."
"How?" Xia Na asked.
"The red spider lilies originally bloomed over his domain, so the force of the explosion was his strength, not the lilies'. The domain of the sura is an extension of their body, so he's simply converting that energy into a different form."
At that moment in time, Zhang Lie couldn't help but pity the sura king's concubines. Not only did most of them die a grisly, terrifying death, they even fertilized the sura king's strength. The flowers that bloomed from their bodies were used as fuel for a gigantic conflagration, and the remaining petals would be reused as fuel once more...
The hunters in Qi watched on with bated breath as the sura king used his final trump card.
Was Zhang Lie really able to take him down? Would mankind defeat the sura? Everyone was silent. The sura had never lost a confrontation against the humans. If Zhang Lie succeeded, he would establish a precedent, but his success seemed very implausible. After all, his opponent was the sura king himself, and everyone had learned of his strength.
That said, the sura king had to deal with the aftereffects of launching such a large-scale explosion. His arteries and veins were throbbing, and his body seemed to have grown slightly swollen, as though he might explode at any moment.
"We have to cheer Zhang Lie on—he's the only one who can save us from the sura king's assault!" a hunter cried out.
The other hunters, sharing the same sentiment, began to cheer.
"Mankind will not fall! Zhang Lie is undefeatable!"
"Mankind will not fall! Zhang Lie is undefeatable!"
"Mankind will not fall! Zhang Lie is undefeatable!"
The sura king hummed. "You really are adored by these humans, aren't you?"
Zhang Lie ignored him. "I won't let you rear humans like livestock for your own pleasure, never!"
"In that case, I hope you're strong enough to defend them against me." The sura king rushed forward, red spider lilies blooming at his feet.
The sura king punched forward, his fist wreathed in red petals. No aura accompanied the blow, nor any earth-shattering commotion, but that simple punch was enough to startle the will of the world into trying to set up a third cordon.
"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon's Wrath]!" Zhang Lie countered with Venombane.
A terrifying explosion rang out, barely contained by the will of the world.
Zhang Lie raised both his arms into the sky, and the image of a dragonturtle appeared behind him. The first two gravity-controlling tablets smashed into the ground, but the sura king leapt out of the way in time.
As the outline of a dragonturtle appeared before Zhang Lie, the remaining two tablets fell toward the sura king, who had to contort his body to avoid them before retaliating with a punch of his own.
"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon's Wrath]!" Zhang Lie's blood dragons clashed with the sura king's petals once and again, neither party able to secure a decisive victory.
The sura king thrust forward. Black genetic energy snaked out from his body and clashed against Zhang Lie's blood dragon, sending yet another explosion into the air. Surrounded by the petals, the sura king was unhurt, as was Zhang Lie, safely ensconced within his runic tablets.
The sura king laughed coldly. "I don't think you'll be able to protect Qi with just that amount of strength. Kneel and surrender, and I'll accept you as a concubine."
Zhang Lie retorted, "And what of you? The petals surrounding your body seem to be diminishing with each and every attack. You don't have limitless stamina either."
"As long as I can kill you before then, it doesn't matter." The sura king thrust forward once more with his palms, sending a torrent of genetic energy against Zhang Lie. Red spider lilies bloomed on the ground, and the outline of malignant spirits seemed visible from the depths of that energy.
Zhang Lie blocked the attack with his two tablets of stasis, reducing its speed and intensity.
"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon's Wrath]!" He retaliated with a blood dragon that soared through the skies and swooped down toward the sura king, who defended himself with a giant shield of petals.
With impeccable timing, Zhang Lie summoned the dragonturtle once more, sending the two gravity tablets crashing down in front of and behind the sura king, disrupting his balance and his attack. His shield of petals fell apart, allowing Zhang Lie's blood dragon to charge directly at him.
Sensing imminent danger, the sura king forcefully ignited all the petals around him. There were far fewer red spider lilies by this point, but the explosive attack still couldn't be taken lightly.
Wounded, the sura king turned to flee, propelled by the force of the explosion. He had just sighed in relief when a purple shortsword shot through the center of the explosion and stuck itself up his ass.
Zhang Lie chased after him, dashing through the explosion and sending him crashing to the ground with a sudden kick. The sura king's eyes widened; he had hardly expected Zhang Lie to react so swiftly and decisively.
How could he have predicted the existence of a hunter like Zhang Lie? Zhang Lie wasn't the governor, and yet he was far stronger. The sura king had quashed the governor in a single blow, but Zhang Lie was as resilient as a cockroach.
"Is the king of the sura running away? Why don't you stay forevermore in the paradise of your dreams instead?" Zhang Lie stomped on the sura king's buttocks, pinning him to the ground.
"What do you want, human?!"
"What do I want? What do you do after catching a human?"
"Have sex with him, of course!" the sura king replied instinctively. As if realizing that his answer was flawed, however, he suddenly coughed and said, "I mean, I'll treat him in a friendly manner."
"Is that what you call rape over in your lands?"
The sura king's face turned pale. "Don't you dare try anything—I'm the sura king! If you kill me, you'll be making yourself an enemy of the sura, who have claimed thousands, tens of thousands of kingdoms—you'll be marked as an enemy, one to be eradicated at all cost! Do you really think a small human city like Qi would be able to survive under that onslaught?"
Zhang Lie laughed coldly. "Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? If there are so many sura, then the death of one lone king would hardly be significant."
The sura king's eyes widened; Zhang Lie had a better understanding of the sura than he had thought.
Cruelly, Zhang Lie whispered in his ear, "Don't you like ravaging humans? Perhaps it's your turn to be the victim."
The sura king's eyes bulged. "No, please wait, I won't do it again!"
"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon's Wrath]!" Venomblade shivered, and a bloody dragon shot out of the blade and up the sura king's Twin streaks of blood burst from the sura king's ass and mouth.
As expected of the king of the sura, his body was sturdy enough that he didn't perish from Zhang Lie's attack. He spasmed a little, but he was far from dying.
"Are you having fun, sura king?" As he watched the human race's mortal enemy struggle on the ground, spasming as blood poured out of his body, Zhang Lie couldn't help feel satisfied.
"Let justice be served for those you've harmed and killed. Again: [The Boundless Blade: Dragon's Wrath]!"
Another dragon, thicker than the last, dove into the sura king's body.contemporary romance
