“The materials are almost finished. The rest will be up to you guys…” Once the battle ended, Lu Yao returned to the base they had chosen. She looked tiredly at Ye Zi and the others as she spoke.
During this period of time, Lu Yao had been fighting almost every day. She frequently attacked the base where the Round Table was located. The long battle had made her a little tired and haggard, but this was something that could not be helped.
Although she was powerful, coupled with her golden mark and Ancient Armor, ordinary fifth rank warriors were no match for her.
However, this did not mean that her battles were easy. The headquarters of the Round Table could not be completely defenseless. There were also many arrangements inside. With the help of some powerhouses, even if they were not as powerful as Lu Yao, they could still cause her a lot of trouble.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Yao’s power was being depleted very quickly recently. If it was a little longer, even if the power of the Golden Mark was still able to hold on, she would not be able to endure it herself.
However, fortunately, it was over. Right now, she has successfully achieved her goal and gathered enough materials to construct the magic formation.
“My King, don’t worry.” Ye Zi looked at Lu Yao, who appeared a little tired. She couldn’t help but sigh and say, “In a few more days, the magic formation should be completed. At that time, we will be able to leave this planet.”
The construction of the magic formation would take ten days. However, during the time that Lu Yao went to attack the Round Table’s base, Ye Zi and the others didn’t idle around. They had already constructed a portion of the magic formation, only waiting for the materials to arrive.
“Alright.” Looking at Ye Zi, Lu Yao nodded her head and wanted to go down to rest.
“How many days?” A cold voice sounded from behind, stopping Lu Yao’s movements. Her body froze, and she subconsciously looked behind her.
She saw a blood shadow in the sky, and a figure appeared. Wang Zhong’s figure appeared out of nowhere. He looked at Lu Yao, as well as Ye Zi and the others who were building a magic formation behind Lu Yao. His face was filled with nervousness as he sneered, “I’m just afraid that you guys don’t have a few days left.”
“Wang Zhong…” Lu Yao looked at Wang Zhong, who was walking toward her. She took a deep breath, as she was a little nervous but also a little enlightened. “You’ve been around this entire time?”
“It seems that you’re not too stupid.” Wang Zhong looked at Lu Yao and could not help but smile. “How have you been the past few days? I think you’ve been having a hard time these past few days. During this period, I’ve been here watching.” He said with a cold smile, revealing a fact.
During this period, he had been hiding nearby. It was just that he had not made a move. Instead, he had quietly waited until now. His purpose was obvious.
“After a few days of fighting, how much power you have left, the Golden King?”Wang Zhong casually looked at Lu Yao. Under his gaze, Lu Yao was expressionless, “You watched your companions die at my hands just to deplete my power?
“You’re amazing.”
“If your companions knew of your actions, they would be very pleased.”
“Thank you for the compliment.” Hearing Lu Yao’s words, Wang Zhong smiled and said softly, “As for those people, although I don’t think they’re worthy of being my companions, if they knew, they would probably be very happy. After all, they can become my stepping stone and an important aid for me to take down the Golden King. What a great honor would that be?”
As he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand. The ripples in space began to rise and fall, and a terrifying power rippled out. Lu Yao’s body did not move. A layer of green armor automatically appeared on the surface of her body, and then she casually wiped it with her hand.
The fluctuation of space instantly disappeared, and it was directly wiped away by Lu Yao. That powerful force was also completely worn away. However, after doing all this, Lu Yao could not help but take a step back.
“As expected, your power has already weakened a lot.” Looking at Lu Yao’s actions, Wang Zhong was a little surprised as if he was also a little surprised, “It seems that the damage to the Golden Mark is much heavier than I thought.”
The Golden Mark on Lu Yao’s body was her greatest trump card. The Golden Mark originated from the Golden Mark of the past, gathering the power of the Golden King. In theory, it could unleash part of the power of the Golden King of the past.
Even after the battle a year ago, the Golden Mark had already been destroyed by the Crimson Knight. There was a lot of damage and it would take a long time to repair. However, it was still a Golden Mark after all. Before it completely disappeared, no one dared to underestimate it.
The reason why Wang Zhong was so careful was to wear down the power of the Golden Mark continuously, to ensure that it would not explode and kill him. That was why he kept following behind Lu Yao and allowed Lu Yao to attack those encampments, using this method to drain her power continuously.
However, based on the situation before him, it seemed that the damage to the Golden Mark was more severe than he had imagined, to the point that her energy had been depleted to such an extent. Compared to when they had first come into contact, Lu Yao’s current strength was much weaker.
Although under the support of the Ancient Armor and the Golden Mark, she was still barely able to maintain a standard comparable to a fifth rank, it was already far from being comparable to before.
To Wang Zhong, this was very good news, “Not bad.” Looking at the expressionless Lu Yao, he pondered for a moment before revealing a malicious smile, “Although it’s weaker than I expected, it’s much easier this way. Come.” He opened his arms and looked at Lu Yao, then said loudly, “After this battle, it’s over. Let me see your power, the Golden King.”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the power in his body erupted. A terrifying aura spread out in all directions, directly suppressing everything in the surroundings.
Faced with this sudden burst of power, Lu Yao grunted. A terrifying power also erupted from her body, protecting Ye Zi and the others behind her. Then, she charged out directly. A strong power erupted, shooting straight into the sky. A vast bloody aura flickered, covering the earth in all directions, turning the sky into a sea of blood.
A pair of eyes gradually turned blood red. In mid-air, Wang Zhong let out a low growl, and his entire body underwent an inexplicable transformation. Under Lu Yao’s gaze, the armor on his body automatically shattered, revealing his sturdy and robust body under the armor.
rev
On the surface of his body, a metallic luster was revealed. There seemed to be a mysterious power circulating within it, which was exceptionally mysterious and unique.
“This is…” Looking at the scene, Lu Yao was stunned at first, but then she quickly reacted.
She recalled the battle between Chen Heng and Wang Zhong. In that battle, it was precisely because of Wang Zhong’s unique secret skill that Chen Heng was trapped in a bitter battle. It was only in the end that he managed to finish him off. But now, it seemed that after a few years, the secret skill of his opponent had not been wasted. Instead, it had gotten even stronger.
“You’ve thought of it, haven’t you?” Facing Lu Yao’s gaze, Wang Zhong’s voice sounded exceptionally cold.
“During that battle back then, my defense was broken by your older brother, and I lost that battle. After that, I’ve been strengthening my defense. I even borrowed the strength of the Round Table and learned many secret techniques. I managed to condense the combat body in front of me through the slaughter power in my body. “Come!” As he spoke, his face was filled with fanaticism. “My combat body is something that no fifth rank powerhouse can break. Even if your elder brother were to revive and stand on the same level as me, it would still be impossible. You can replace your elder brother. Come and try!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he charged forward. With a muffled rumble, it was as if thunder had struck the heavens, causing the entire land to tremble. Wang Zhong’s body smashed forward heavily, creating a large hole on this planet. Following that, he charged out once again and engaged in an intense battle with Lu Yao in midair.
A terrifying power erupted. Facing Wang Zhong in front of her, Lu Yao did not hold back at all. A powerful force erupted from her entire body and charged onto Wang Zhong’s body, producing a crisp sound like metal colliding with metal. When this kind of situation was seen by others, all of them undoubtedly felt terrified.
Lu Yao couldn’t help but frown. Wang Zhong’s defense made her feel especially troubled. Just now, she had already tried her best. Yet, no matter what kind of attack hit Wang Zhong’s body, it couldn’t leave a wound or even a mark. This kind of terrifying defense made Lu Yao feel terrified.
In the past, Wang Zhong’s defense was indeed very strong, but it was not that strong.
‘I have to use even more strength.’ Standing in mid-air, Lu Yao looked at Wang Zhong, then, she took a deep breath, and this thought flashed through her mind.
Following that, the strength that Lu Yao used became even stronger. In the end, she used almost every attack with her full strength, leaving no room for maneuver. Under the powerful attack, some changes did appear on Wang Zhong’s body. Some marks were left on his body, and he became different.
However, even so, Lu Yao had no way to take him down. She only left some marks on his body. These marks were not too deep, and they usually healed after a short while. It did not seem like they could cause too much damage.
On the contrary, because every strike was used with full strength, Lu Yao’s strength was being used up very quickly. It did not take long for her aura to weaken a lot. Gradually, the energy in her body became weaker. Her face also became redder and her aura weakened.
“It’s useless!” Another shocking collision sound erupted. Wang Zhong looked at Lu Yao and sneered, then, he waved his hand.
A burst of violent energy whistled forward, almost drowning Lu Yao in front of him. That kind of power was so terrifying that it made people suffocate. Faced with Wang Zhong’s attack, Lu Yao’s face turned pale, and her face seemed to have lost its color.
“Your power is getting weaker and weaker…” Looking at Lu Yao in such a state, Wang Zhong’s face revealed a disdainful look. He still looked very powerful, and there was no sign of him weakening. The slaughter power given by the slaughter divinity was still stored in his body as the battle was slowly absorbed by him. It was also because of this that Wang Zhong was able to be so strong and maintain his peak condition.
On the contrary, Lu Yao was getting weaker. At this moment, she had already used up all the power in her body and was close to her limit. “It’s almost over…” After another collision, Lu Yao’s body flew out and crashed heavily into the ground.
Looking at the scene, Wang Zhong sighed softly. Then, he took a step forward and slowly walked forward. The sound of light footsteps passed through the area. On the ground, Lu Yao struggled to get up, but in the end, she was unable to do so. On her forehead, the originally bright Golden Mark was no longer glowing. Wang Zhong’s tactic was undoubtedly effective.
After going through successive battles, Lu Yao’s strength had already weakened to the extreme. Even the blessing of the Golden Mark could no longer be maintained. On her body, the green Ancient Armor was also full of scars, as if it had reached a certain limit.
“Damn it!” Lying on the ground, Lu Yao’s face was filled with unwillingness. She tried hard to sit up, but in the end, she was unable to do so.
“Do you feel despair and unwillingness?” The sound of light footsteps could be heard. Wang Zhong’s figure appeared before Lu Yao. He looked at Lu Yao’s figure, and a smile appeared on his face. “That’s right. In the past, that person saved you many times. It’s a pity that he’s already dead. He died under Lord Crimson’s hands. Without him, what does it count as if you’re on your own?” A mocking expression appeared on his face. “You are nothing at all on your own. A puny little caterpillar but still dreaming about flying.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped down, stirring up a hundred miles of dust. In the dark, a terrifying power was connected with this stomp. “My King!” Ye Zi subconsciously raised her head and looked at the scene, her eyes were wide open.
They wanted to go forward to save Lu Yao, but in the end, it was too late. No matter how fast they were, how could they compare to Wang Zhong? However, in the end, this attack still did not land. At a certain moment, the surrounding space seemed to freeze. An inexplicable power began to circulate and explode.
When Lu Yao was in the most critical moment, a long-hidden power exploded in her body. At this moment, it was directly activated. A slender arm stretched out at the critical moment. It directly smoothed out all the power contained in this attack and blocked this attack.
Then, a figure was revealed. It was the appearance of a young man wearing an ordinary short-sleeved shirt, looking like a normal student. However, his face was extremely familiar to the people present.
“Big Brother…” Lu Yao looked at the figure standing before her and was a little absent-minded. She almost thought that she was hallucinating at this moment. The figure seemed to have heard her shout, and slowly turned around. His face, which was the same as Chen Heng’s, was expressionless as he stared at her. A familiar feeling appeared as if Chen Heng was still there.
“How is this possible!” Compared to the excitement in Lu Yao’s heart, at this moment, Wang Zhong’s face was filled with disbelief, “You’ve fallen, you’re already dead! How can you still appear?” His face was filled with disbelief. He looked at Chen Heng before him and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Could it be that after the battle back then, Chen Heng had not died, but remained and was hiding around the Golden King? Wang Zhong subconsciously took a few steps back as this thought flashed through his mind. However, after careful observation, his heart calmed down again and he heaved a sigh of relief.
“So that’s how it is…” In front of Wang Zhong and the others, Chen Heng’s figure was standing there.
However, under the illumination of the light, Chen Heng’s figure appeared somewhat illusory, as if it was not real, and it did not have the terrifying suffocating feeling of the past. There was indeed the aura of Chen Heng on his body, but it was much weaker as if it was not the real body, but just a clone.
“It’s not the person from the past, just a remnant clone…” After confirming that the person before was not Chen Heng, but just a clone, Wang Zhong’s heart calmed down. At this moment, he let out a soft snort, then he said, “Because you were worried about your sister’s safety, you deliberately left a trick behind before that battle? Hmm, you put in a lot of effort for your sister.” He had already guessed Chen Heng’s intention.
There was no doubt that this clone in front of him was most likely left behind by that person when he was on Qika Star. The mechanism of this outbreak should be that when the Golden King encountered a danger that he could not resist, it would automatically revive and protect his sister’s safety.
After thinking about this, Wang Zhong was certain that the panic from before had completely disappeared. Instead, he became much more excited.
“Very good!” He looked at Chen Heng’s figure before him and looked at the face that left a deep impression on him. His face became even more excited. “If you were here in person, even the current me would not be a match for you. But it’s just a clone that you left behind. What can it do? It just makes up for the regret that I once had.” He muttered to himself, then whistled and directly rushed forward.
His figure was very fast, like a gust of wind. In an instant, he disappeared from where he was and rushed forward. The earth was collapsing inch by inch, and the sky was moving. The surrounding space was being pulled by Wang Zhong’s power, completely turning into his domain.
For a moment, it was as if the entire world was making a move, charging towards the central area. This attack was already Wang Zhong’s full-power attack. Even though he was very confident in his heart, he was very careful when facing Chen Heng.
Even though it was just a clone before him, he was still attacking with full power and was very cautious. The whistling power rushed forward, almost covering the person in front of him. And in the midst of it, the figure finally moved.
