Chapter 363 Peak Showdown
Yunlan confidently brandished the Holy Spirit Spear, gazing at the zombie contestants' seats, awaiting the appearance of her next and final opponent. Meanwhile, the human side erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, with Li Xue and Zhao Liying even shedding tears of excitement.
Just as Yunlan was waiting in the arena, Li Chenglong's voice came from behind her: "Yunlan, come down. I'll fight this match." Yunlan turned around and looked at him, somewhat puzzled: "I still have 70% of my spiritual energy left. I can continue fighting." At this moment, Li Chenglong left the rest area and said seriously: "You go back first. I'll fight this match."
Yunlan pouted somewhat reluctantly, but seeing Li Chenglong's serious expression, she knew she should listen to him. So, she transformed into a red streak of light and returned to the human contestants' rest area. As soon as she returned, the women rushed up to greet Yunlan warmly, and the others also expressed their congratulations on her level up.
Yunlan said somewhat unhappily, "I feel like I can still fight. I don't know why he made me come back. Does he not want me to stand out all by myself?" As soon as she finished speaking, a handsome man in a white suit walked out from the zombies' resting area. The man looked to be about the same age as Li Chenglong, and even their height and build were similar, but the aura he exuded was very strange.
Yunlan asked Zhao Liying, who was standing beside her, "Can you sense that man's strength? After my upgrade this time, my right eye lost its ability to detect, but my attack power has increased a lot. In my perception, I can only sense that this man is an Awakened One, and his spiritual energy is very strange." Zhao Liying shook her head: "Team Leader Yun, you can still sense his spiritual energy, but I can't sense it at all. In my perception, he is just an ordinary person, without even the aura of a zombie."
Ding Hai said seriously from behind, "The only thing we can know is that the man is very powerful, otherwise City Lord Li Chenglong wouldn't have insisted on letting you come down first." Qin Wan, in the middle, said somewhat nervously, "I declare the competition open!" After saying that, she activated her supernatural ability and quickly left the arena.
Li Chenglong revealed a faint smile and slowly walked from the left side of the arena towards the center, while the man also smiled and slowly walked over from the right side.
Li Chenglong extended his right hand, and a massive burst of flames engulfed the man. But the man hesitated only briefly before extending his own right hand, and Li Chenglong was also engulfed in red flames. Shangguan Jingyun's eyes widened: "They can actually control the elements so skillfully now?"
The two fighters on the arena accelerated and clashed, beginning a frenzied battle. Fist against fist, leg against leg, every move was powerful and deadly. As the battle began and the two released their spiritual energy, Shangguan Jingyun exclaimed in surprise, "The opponent is a level 13 Awakened One, and his potential is no less than SS level. How is this possible? How did he level up so quickly?"
The moment Li Chenglong saw this man before the match began, combined with Qin Wan's information, he knew the man's identity. This man should be Zhao Wuji, the emperor of the zombie empire whom he had never met before. And through the True Dragon Eye on his left side, he had also seen the other party's attributes.
Zhao Wuji, a level 13 SS-rank three-headed demonic dragon awakener, has attributes of 847 Constitution, 842 Strength, 835 Agility, and 849 Spirit. Putting everything else aside, his attributes are truly astonishing. Li Chenglong also discovered that after level 11, the attribute increases with each level were substantial; it seems that to truly increase combat power, one should focus on leveling up.
Liu Xuehua suggested, "Besides you level 11 and 12 ability users and awakened individuals, there are quite a few ability users around level 8 here, as well as ordinary people from my team. We're not close, but we're not far either. In order to allow Li Chenglong to concentrate on the battle, let's step back a bit."
Yun Lan, Shangguan Jingyun, and the others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. Then, the more than 200 humans watching the battle began to retreat in an orderly fashion, stopping only after retreating more than 100 meters. To their surprise, the zombies also began to retreat, seemingly afraid of being affected by the terrifying energy emanating from the battle between Li Chenglong and Zhao Wuji.
A fiery red energy emanated from Yunlan, and a girl dressed in red appeared before everyone. Yunlan said excitedly, "Xiao Feng, you've finally been resurrected! I missed you so much. By the way, now that my constitution has changed, can I still call you Xiao Feng?"
The girl smiled and shook her head: "I've given myself a name, you can call me Feng Ling from now on. By the way, I came out to tell you that the man opposite me is a level 13 SS Awakener with very high attributes. Brother Li just used the True Dragon Eye to investigate, and I'm also connected with the Dragon Spirit, so I found out about this."
Feng Ling's words completely confirmed Shangguan Jingyun's statement, and everyone watching the two still fighting fiercely couldn't help but feel worried.
“It’s alright, I believe in him!” Yun Lan said, clenching her right fist. “Since we started at the First People’s Hospital of Jinghai City, Li Chenglong has brought us many miraculous results and defeated opponents much stronger than himself many times. So we must believe in him this time too.” Hearing Yun Lan say this, everyone, especially Li Xue and Zhao Liying, thought of all the moments they had spent with Li Chenglong, and their hearts gradually calmed down.
On the fighting field, the battle between the two became increasingly intense. Every exchange of blows would unleash waves of energy. So far, they were still fighting bare-handed.
Li Chenglong summoned the Emperor Sword with his right hand and slashed at Zhao Wuji. Meanwhile, Zhao Wuji also summoned his own weapon, the Demon Dragon Halberd, which slashed at Li Chenglong. However, when using the same weapon, the sword was clearly at a disadvantage compared to the halberd, and with the level difference, Li Chenglong felt he couldn't fight Zhao Wuji using only his regular abilities.
"Dimensional Slash!" Li Chenglong suddenly unleashed a strike, using dimensional teleportation to dodge the attack. But just as he appeared in one spot, Zhao Wuji unexpectedly flashed to his side as well. Then, all the onlookers could see were the two combatants flashing back and forth in the arena, their fighting figures seemingly everywhere.
"The opponent can teleport!" Liu Zhigang, who was intently watching the match, exclaimed in surprise. Li Chenglong was also quite surprised, not expecting his opponent to be able to teleport. Although dimensional travel is more advanced than teleportation, it consumes more spiritual energy. Moreover, the advantages of dimensional travel cannot be fully demonstrated in the arena.
"Holy Dragon Armor, combine!" Li Chenglong quickly completed the armor's transformation, wielding the Dragon Emperor Sword as he engaged Zhao Wuji in battle. Zhao Wuji was relatively relaxed at this point, and said with a smile as he fought, "As expected of the legendary City Lord Li Chenglong, to be able to defeat our eight guardians in one go, your strength is indeed extraordinary. If you are willing..." Before he could finish speaking, Li Chenglong interrupted him directly: "Shut up. I definitely won't agree to go to your place, but if we cooperate to fight against the alien alliance, then I would be more than happy to."
Zhao Wuji smiled calmly: "Cooperating with you is not impossible, but the premise is that you can defeat me, which is impossible. Take this, Overlord Burst Charge!" Zhao Wuji unleashed a powerful attack, and a black energy shot out from his halberd. Li Chenglong swung his sword to block, barely managing to block this terrifying energy.
The two then clashed again. Li Chenglong, fully armored and empowered by the Holy Dragon Blood, was gradually gaining the upper hand over Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji knew he was at a slight disadvantage, but he refused to believe Li Chenglong could maintain this level of power. Instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, he repeatedly used teleportation to evade Li Chenglong's attacks.
Dongfang Yunbing glanced at his watch: "The battle has been going on for half an hour, and I didn't expect their momentum to show no signs of weakening. It's one thing for His Majesty the Emperor, but how can a human do this?" Marshal Qinglong of the Eastern Route, a level 12 late-stage four-elemental ability user, stroked his long hair and said with a smile: "I feel that this is an opportunity. If humans are really this strong, then cooperating with them is not impossible."
Marshal Zhuque of the Southern Route nodded: "Yes, we now know that the surrender faction within our ranks and the envoys sent by the aliens have actually declared war on the aliens. In order to ensure our future development and avoid being attacked from both sides, cooperating with humans is also an option."
The remaining two marshals, Xuanwu and Baihu, nodded in agreement. Dongfang Yunbing looked at the two who were still fighting and said, "We should decide the winner first."
