Li Zongming was very confident in Zhang Lie's abilities, but he was worried about what would happen after he won.
The bet was with fifty-to-one odds. Once Li Zongming won, the other superior kings would treat him not with contempt or disdain, but hatred. What would he do then?
The decaying king snorted. "Are you going to place a bet, or not? You're not going to back down now, are you?"
Upon thinking about how the other superior kings had treated him like nothing more than a plaything, Li Zongming calmed down. So what if he won? He would be doing it fair and square.
Invoking his authority as king, Li Zongming drew out the energy of his own world, kneaded it into a ball, and placed it by his own puppet.
His future son-in-law had never before disappointed him. If not for the fact that he was worried about the Zongming world collapsing, Li Zongming would have staked even more world's energy on this bet.
"Haha, hahaha!" The superior kings all stared at Li Zongming's bet with shock, then began to laugh uproariously. That laughter was tinged with mocking and ridicule; they looked toward Li Zongming as though he were a fool.
Li Zongming smirked. They would soon see who the true fool was for themselves.?You think I'm a fool? You're all no more than clowns.
"Very interesting. Very interesting!"
The four superior kings who were 'challenging' Li Zongming all clapped, their eyes filled with greed. Half a superior world's worth of energy! It belonged not to a large world, but rather a superior world.
The four kings salivated. If they were to win, they'd be able to receive both Li Zongming's bet and the king of chaos's prize—the equivalent of a whole superior world's worth of energy. Their power would double.
Li Zongming grimaced at the world's energy he was giving up, but he didn't hesitate. In truth, this energy had all come from Zhang Lie—or rather, from the xuluo world that Zhang Lie had destroyed.
The decaying king laughed. "Haha, if you're going to give away some of your world's energy, we'll gladly accept!"
The king of chaos asked, "King of keys, won't you place a bet yourself?"
The king of keys shook his head. "As the banker, I had better not."
The four kings anticipated the start of the challenge greedily, each believing that their victory was secured.
The solar king cackled at Li Zongming. "If you don't want all your subordinates to die, I suggest you surrender as quickly as possible."
Zhang Lie stepped forward. "We'll have to see whose subordinates will die first, won't we?"
The king of keys instructed, "Challengers, prepare yourselves."
The five kings' forces were sent toward five different directions of the world. The kings observed the challenge from atop the castle.
The independent world that nine superior kings had created together wasn't particularly large—it was about the size of one-third of a medium-sized world, and all the kings could inspect the entire battlefield from their vantage point.
Zhang Lie stood at the very front, the warlords arrayed behind him.
Xing Ying asked, "How should we fight?"
Zhang Lie replied, "Follow my directions. Leave the rest to me."
"Begin!" The king of keys waved a hand, sending a pillar of light up toward the sky and exploding there. That was the signal to begin.
The fifty suns moved first. They whirled around each other, forming a solar wind that shook the skies and blinded the other troops. Their primary target, however, was the ice queen's forces, rather than Zhang Lie.
The ice queen gnashed her teeth. "You bastard—you're not following our plan!" Didn't he claim that they would work together to get rid of Li Zongming's forces first? What did the solar king think he was doing?
The solar king smiled with his teeth. "My hand slipped, my hand slipped. I apologize."
If not for the bet, the solar king had intended on squashing Li Zongming first, but upon seeing the superior world's energy that was at stake, the solar king's priorities changed. His new goal was to win the bet and obtain all that world's energy for himself. Squashing Li Zongming's forces was a secondary objective.
After all, he had never thought highly of this newly minted superior king.
However, the ice queen's forces were no pushover. They were an elite, trained force, and they reacted to the sudden assault immediately.
Ice and frost clashed against the suns' advance. The skies split in half, baking in a solar storm on one hand and chilling in a blizzard in the other.
Suddenly, a fish the size of a giant whale took to the sky, disrupting the ice and sunlight with waves of water-attuned genetic energy.
"You seem to be forgetting who your opponent is!" Zhang Lie clenched his fist tightly. Blue genetic energy gathered around him as space vibrated. The ripples spread out over his arm. He flicked his wrist.
.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar]!" As Zhang Lie punched forward, the fish slammed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging into the air.
Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. They broke apart the clash between sun and frost, arced through the air, over the horizon, and smashed into the giant skeleton across the other side of the world.
Zhang Lie could sense that, among the four kings' forces, the most threatening was this giant skeleton. contemporary romance
The ocean waves smashed apart the skeleton. Shockwaves surged forth from Zhang Lie, as though a twister were consuming everything in sight. The bones rattled. Zhang Lie's sea-blue genetic energy crushed an endless supply of bones into powder.
Atop the castle, the superior kings were all shocked by Zhang Lie's display of power. That was a fighter on par with a superior king—and he was just a subordinate of Li Zongming!
The bones clattered to the ground. [Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar] had destroyed the sea of bones with which the decaying king had swamped the battlefield.
The decaying king cried out, his eyes bulging, "My bones!"
The other superior kings hadn't yet recovered from the shock.
How could a newly minted superior world like the Zongming world possess such strength? How could there be another existence at the level of a superior king?
This was impossible! Even the superior worlds of antiquity possessed only one or two such fighters, so how did Li Zongming come to possess one such himself?
The king of chaos and the king of keys were the first to recover from the shock, as though they had expected this level of strength from the Zongming world. After all, they were both extremely familiar with the xuluo world, and they knew very well that Li Zongming alone would be incapable of dealing with the xuluo race and killing Feitian...
