Saint Zhou was truly enraged.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never been insulted in this manner!
Of course, what truly infuriated him was that he seemed genuinely unable to defeat Xu Gu!
Previously setting a trap to kill Xu Gu was just to save some effort; proud as he was, he actually didn’t believe himself inferior to Xu Gu.
He had never taken Xu Gu too seriously.
Now, suddenly realizing that the commoner he looked down upon had surpassed him in just three months, he naturally couldn’t tolerate it.
"Xu Gu, you must die today," a glint of coldness flashed in Saint Zhou’s eyes.
He crushed a very precious one-time-use healing accessory, instantly recovering his injuries, and the Light Sword in his hand emitted Divine Light as he unleashed a very mysterious Absolute Skill.
He swung directly at Xu Gu.
This time, he meant business.
He immediately activated the Burst Seed, his aura climbing higher and higher.
"Oh no! Saint Zhou is going all out!"
Many people gasped in shock, their hearts filled with worry.
Although Xu Gu had clearly gained the upper hand, the battle was inherently unfair. Saint Zhou didn’t need to defeat Xu Gu; all he had to do was hold him off until the strong ones of the Mermaid Kingdom arrived!
As long as Xu Gu couldn’t overpower Saint Zhou in a very short time, his life was at risk!
On Xu Gu’s side, Han Leishuang and three others, along with the exquisite Sun Xinglan and her companions, also held their breath, tense and silent.
Xu Gu’s expression remained unchanged as he waved his hand. His body shifted, gripping his Battle Instrument, and he calmly said, "A knife feels better."
As he spoke, he unleashed a slash, and a crescent moon seemed to appear out of thin air and rapidly enlarged, engulfing the entire world in an instant.
One layer of shockwave after another intensified.
In total, eighteen layers of shockwaves!
It was, indeed, the Eighteen Forms of War God!
A crisp sound of impact resounded.
Saint Zhou’s Light Sword clashed with Xu Gu’s Battle Instrument, only for his onslaught to collapse instantly.
The entire blade even cracked, revealing fine lines of fissures.
"How is this possible!" Saint Zhou trembled with shock and horror.
Who could have imagined that Xu Gu’s one slash would actually crack his Light Sword!
You must know, his Light Sword was SS-grade!
And yet it cracked just like that!
"SSS-grade offensive accessory!"
The eyes of all the strong were bloodshot.
Their gazes fell on the Battle Instrument in Xu Gu’s hand.
"The reason Xu Gu is so formidable is definitely because of this SSS-grade accessory!"
From afar, Zhao Wujia screeched.
Xu Gu glanced at him coldly.
Noticing Xu Gu’s attention, Zhao Wujia’s face changed dramatically, and he swung his spear to summon a massive army of Combat Robots to besiege Xu Gu while he turned to flee.
"Where there’s life, there’s hope."
Xu Gu was too strong; he felt as though a mere touch from Xu Gu’s knife would cost him his life.
Seeing this, Xu Gu spun his Battle Instrument in his hand, knife light surging wild.
Hundreds of fireworks exploded in the air like a sea of flames, and all of Zhao Wujia’s deployed Combat Robots fell from the sky like locusts scorched by fire.
At that moment, Saint Zhou attacked again.
"Reincarnation Sword!"
The Light Sword in Saint Zhou’s hand began to emit black light like ink, his whole being like a demon god emerging from hell.
As the sword swung, six vortices formed, corresponding to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
It was the Zhou Family’s strongest Absolute Skill.
Zhou, equated to Reincarnation.
From within the six vortices, a faint feral roar was heard.
As if six hellish worlds were sealed, now hell opened, and internal demons were about to descend on the world.
"This move is not bad," Xu Gu nodded with satisfaction and grinned, "However, now it’s mine."
[SS-grade Reincarnation Sword has been learned!]
[Enhanced to: SSS-grade Six Paths of Reincarnation·Great Annihilation Technique]
Without hesitation, Xu Gu unleashed a Six Paths of Reincarnation Great Annihilation Technique.
Behind a blinding white blade light, the sky suddenly caved in.
Six massive celestial bodies like giant suns appeared.
As the blade light advanced, these six giant sun-like stars instantly collapsed, forming vortexes akin to black holes, filled with countless phantoms of ghosts, Asuras, gods, demons, and beasts.
The attacks of the two clashed together.
Even though they were the same type of attack, Xu Gu’s attack was akin to a star falling from the sky, while Saint Zhou’s attack was like a child tossing a pebble.
Saint Zhou’s attack shattered.
Saint Zhou’s pupils contracted sharply. He hurriedly crushed a highly targeted one-time-use defense accessory for protection but was still blasted back hundreds of meters, his chest caving in as he nearly vomited a mouthful of now bloodlike Energy Liquid.
"Is this... my family’s Reincarnation Technique?"
Saint Zhou was utterly astonished.
He widened his eyes at Xu Gu.
The same Absolute Skill derived from the authority of Reincarnation, but Xu Gu’s attack seemed capable of truly dragging him into reincarnation, making his hair stand on end.
Meanwhile, Zhao Wujia had vanished without a trace.
Jin Quanmin and Taoist Li furiously cursed at the sight, calling him a cowardly fool.
Deep down, they were utterly contemptuous.
In their eyes, even though Xu Gu held a considerable upper hand, the advantage still lay with them.
Because the strong ones from the Mermaid Kingdom were already very near!
"We’re here to assist you!"
Thunderbolt Hand Taoist Li and Six-tailed Jin Quanmin shouted fiercely, joining the battlefield, standing at Saint Zhou’s sides, glaring at Xu Gu.
They had completely recovered in this short time, returning to their peak.
"Forget it, Atlantis is only so big; we’ll meet again sooner or later," Xu Gu did not care about Zhao Wujia’s escape.
Zhao Wujia’s greed was notorious.
In Atlantis, he certainly wouldn’t endure solitude and would inevitably cause trouble.
By then, dealing with him would not take much effort.
As for now, let the others pay the price first.
"I don’t believe it!" Saint Zhou gritted his teeth.
He had never been so humiliated.
Before, he had always been invincible.
Five hundred years, and he had already descended upon the world. If he wanted to become king, he would have long become a Human King, but he chose to utilize technological hibernation to ascend to godhood.
Intermittently sleeping for five hundred years.
Intermittently invincible for five hundred years!
Even facing the Sea Emperor, even facing Zhao Zhonghuang, he could easily contend.
More so, when facing the young Champion Marquis, he did not lose!
Yet, facing Xu Gu’s attack, he had a sense of death.
However, he wasn’t foolish. He could feel that the knife in Xu Gu’s hand was an SSS-grade accessory, and it was not to be confronted directly.
"If that’s the case, then fast attacks it is! Reduce the upper limit of attack power, greatly increasing the number of attacks."
Saint Zhou snorted coldly and made up his mind.
In his view, if Xu Gu’s knife was SSS-grade, then defense must be relatively weak!
As long as he could land attacks on Xu Gu’s body,
instead of Xu Gu’s knife,
even the weakest attack could take Xu Gu’s life!
Subsequently, he grittingly mobilized his Energy while performing his ancestral Reincarnation Technique.
The atmosphere turned solemn, deathly cold, spreading, as if the gates of hell had opened.
"Saint Zhou is about to unleash the Six Paths!"
Some who knew the Zhou Family’s Absolute Skill were horrified, shivering with dread.
They didn’t even bother to watch the fight, turning to run away, as if Saint Zhou was about to release some formidable monster!
