Absolute Choice
Page 439Chapter 432 (4/5)
The blond youth readied himself by raising his sword and said, “Are you ready to die?”
The gargantuan laughed in his anger, “The one dying will be you!”
Without any additional exchange of words or need to play up the situation, the battle began instantly.
The gargantuan took large strides as his massive body resembled a moving mountain. He did not speed up but approached at an adequate pace. Every step he took caused the ground to quake.
The thirty thousand audience held their breaths while Shi Xiaobai and company widened their eyes. They stared with unaverted gazes at the battle that was about to break out.
It was definitely going to be a shocking battle.
No one knew the strength of the gargantuan that was far stronger than King Leonis or how many hidden cards he hid.
As for the blond youth, his strength was even more unfathomable.
“Watch well. This battle is destined to be unforgettable. Pay attention to every detail of the battle. It will definitely benefit all of you greatly.”
Speechless said to the people beside him with a solemn expression.
He was the person who understood the blond youth’s strength the most. Also, in the clash of attacks previously, he knew very well of the gargantuan’s powerful strength.
The power of the Sword Soul could not be used continuously. Even the real Hero King needed to rest for a moment before he could use the power of the Sword Soul a second time.
How many hidden cards would the blond youth, who was temporarily unable to use the power of the Sword Soul, use against the infuriated and serious gargantuan? How many techniques would he be forced to use?
A look of anticipation flashed in Speechless’ eyes.
Shi Xiaobai clenched his fists. His eyes were focused on the blond youth and he was unwilling to miss any detail. He believed and hoped that the blond youth would obtain victory in the battle. But if that happened, it meant that he would be next to battle the blond youth.
Such an opponent with immense power made him nervous, but it also ignited his fighting spirit and excited him.
Against the gargantuan, whose physical toughness was unbelievably powerful, what choice would the Hero King’s imitation make? What sort of sword technique would he use? How much time would he need to clinch victory?
Suddenly, the blond youth moved!
It was fine if he didn’t move, but a single movement of his was stunning!
“So fast!”
‘So fast’ was definitely not enough to describe the blond youth who suddenly moved. In just a blink of an eye, the blond youth who remained silent in his original spot had traversed ten kilometers. He was flying in mid-air as if he was a golden beam of lightning!
Unlike his battle with Speechless, the blond youth did not choose to produce sword attacks from a distance. Instead, he had suddenly moved and appeared in front of the gargantuan that was striding towards him!
He leaped up high and with his hands appearing to hold a sword, he looked like the blinding moment when the morning sun emerged.
“Courting death!”
The gargantuan was similarly astounded by the blond youth’s stunning speed and fearsome attacking stance. But he immediately recovered his composure. While feeling incensed, he also felt crazily delighted.
This foolish and arrogant fly took the initiative to enter a melee battle with him?
When had the Transcendents ever been afraid of a melee battle!?
The gargantuan laughed out maniacally as he suddenly stretched out his hand to smack down at the blond youth who had leaped into the air. It was as though he was swatting an irritating fly!
The gargantuan’s strength was outrageously strong. The strength from the swat of his right hand stirred up a storm. As the wind howled, his black shadow shrouded the blond youth that had temporarily stopped in mid-air!
If the youth was the dazzling dawn, that strike was like a gloomy cloud that shrouded the sky!
“Phew!”
As the black shadow swept past, it was like white clouds that dispersed. The dazzling figure vanished in mid-air!
“He disappeared!?”
The audience that was in front of the gargantuan exclaimed.
The spectators that were behind the gargantuan were equally astonished.
This was because at the instant the gargantuan smashed his palm, the blond youth had disappeared and appeared behind the gargantuan. His speed was astonishing and there was no way to tell what he had done.
Or could it be said that he did not do a thing?
All he did was simply leap past the gargantuan’s body?
“No!”
As the audience was still reveling in shock, it heard the gargantuan suddenly roar out angrily.
The roar was filled with anger, regret, disbelief and deep hatred!
And with the roar, an appalling scene unfolded. The gargantuan’s gigantic head began sliding down his neck and crashed to the ground with a loud thud!
Boiling hot blood spewed out from the flat and smooth broken neck like an erupting volcano. The cleaved neck ejected blood to the heavens as it sprayed onto the ground. It dyed the burning hot basin into an ice-cold dark red.
“Boom!”
After the gargantuan lost his head, his massive body fell back as though a mountain had collapsed!
The gargantuan died just like that? With his head separated from his body, he had died in such an inexplicable manner!?
There was total silence. Everyone watched aghast, finding the scene before their eyes unbelievable.
The blond youth had slashed out. However, due to the non-existence of the sword, that strike could not be discerned. However, just this lightning-fast strike had instantly cleaved off the gargantuan’s head!
This was completely unexpected. No one expected that the blond youth who fought Speechless for more than ten minutes finished the battle in a few seconds.
No one thought that the massive gargantuan, with his bold ambitions of killing the Infernal King and Celestial King to prove that the race of the Transcendents was the strongest race, could not even handle a single strike.
The gargantuan did not expect that his defense he had been so proud of could not withstand that simple and unimpressive strike, If he knew that it would result in such an outcome, he would definitely have used his sixth form from the beginning.
The gargantuan did not use his sixth form. He lost all chances of using even the fifth form. With a regretful roar, he died in pain.
The new Transcendent king was beheaded!
“Hey, that can’t be. Is this just a fantasy?”
Feng Yuanlin’s voice trembled as he nearly bit his tongue.
Speechless’ eyes turned slightly torpid as a wry smile suffused across his lips. He said, “That bastard is terrifyingly strong. He spent ten minutes to crack my Mirror Replication only because of his damn repulsiveness. If he had used such a sudden strike at me, my head would have probably dropped off.”
It was unbelievable that the imitation of the Hero King was so powerful.
Did the assessment program crazily enhance its strength when it created the counterfeit?
Or did the real Hero King possess such terrifying power at that age?
If it was the latter, then Speechless, who thought that he could imitate to the point of surpassing the Hero King, was indeed too naive!
Everyone was immersed in shock. The audience was still in a daze. Many people cast their eyes at the composed blond youth that did not have a drop of blood that stained him.
He was strolling calmly. His posture did not seem elegant, but neither was it uncouth. It was ever so composed as though he was strolling leisurely on a tiny path in the woods.
The blond youth slowly walked to a clean plot of ground that was not covered in blood. Then, he turned to face Shi Xiaobai.
He remained expressionless and his eyes were calm. His beheading of the gargantuan in a single strike was as though he had done something trivial.
He slowly opened his mouth and whispered, “Now that you are the only one left, Your Majesty, the Infernal King. Do you plan on obediently accepting your death or do you want to struggle a bit before dying?”
