Chapter 507 - Spoiler
Chapter 507: Spoiler
Meng Chao looked like he had not registered it and just let the shadowless saber come toward his neck artery.
But his neck muscles turned as hard as metal. He even had the spot where the saber would cut sink in.
At the same time, with just his left ring finger and pinky, he controlled his chain sabers and used an unbelievable angle to slash at Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang’s throat.
If both sides refused to switch their tactics, Meng Chao’s artery might be cut off by Gao Yang, but Gao Yang’s Adam’s apple, cervical spine, and central nervous system would be pierced as well.
Gao Yang could only hunch his shoulders and avoid it.
Thus, he lost his initiative and failed his ambush.
Meng Chao refused to relent after he gained momentum. His chain sabers moved with the agility of a venomous snake, and he switched from a thrust to a sweep in an attempt to bind Gao Yang’s neck.
At the same time, the Red Radiance Jade crystal marrow that was embedded in Bloody Soul shone with a bewitching, blood-red light. It lit up the entire underground space and turned into thousands of fierce saber glares.
The thousands of saber glares cut toward Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang from multiple angles.
Gao Yang roared. He ignored the chains that came to bind him and the saber glares that came from everywhere and just brought the Tiger Fang Saber high above his head to deliver a simple and crude downward slash.
This was the wildest move among the most basic of all saber techniques—Forward Wind Cutter of One Hundred Saber Techniques!
It was a move that even elementary school students in Dragon City could execute.
When Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang used it, it gave off the feeling that it could cut through everything effortlessly.
Regardless of how bizarre Meng Chao’s chain sabers were, how many illusions Bloody Soul could create, and how Meng Chao had attached bits of a mind attack into his strike, Forward Wind Cutter was definitely going to drag him into hell before he could kill Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang.
Hence, Meng Chao could only act like Gao Yang earlier. He gave up on all the variations and backups he had and dodged in a rather pathetic fashion.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
They exchanged more than ten blows again.
One of them held the heavy Bloody Soul in his right hand, and the other held Tiger Fang Saber. With each clash, it was as if two main battle tanks had been driven within ten meters of each other and were now firing at their reactive armor with a shocking effect.
If there were others watching by the side, they would definitely feel terrified and worried that the sparks created by the sabers would light up the entire ruins in flames.
However, the real killing moves were in their left hands.
The chain saber in Meng Chao’s left hand and the shadowless saber in Gao Yang’s left hand were soft weapons that did not contain any presence or killing intent.
When the chain saber and the shadowless saber clashed with each other, not only did no sparks come out, they did not produce even a single sound.
Most of the time, their left hands and secondary weapons turned into gray fog and were like magnetic fields that rejected each other. The moment they drew closer, they bounced away fiercely. No secret or danger could be drawn from their attacks.
Only the two of them knew that within the ten short seconds, their eyes, forehead, temples, throats, hearts, Dantian regions, groins, joints and other vitals had been targeted multiple times by the chain saber and shadowless saber.
One of them was a peerless hunter who had broken out of encirclements multiple times ten years ago and even counterattacked.
The other was a returnee who came back from the apocalypse and possessed practical fighting experience that far surpassed what he should have.
The two monsters were somewhat equal.
If it were anyone else, even if their cultivation realms and combat parameters on paper were better, they would have died under their blades without knowing how.
Crack!
Even the ceiling could not handle the shockwaves that came from the two monsters’ vitality magnetic fields crashing against each other. First, intersecting cracks that looked like spider webs showed up, then, they began spreading. In the blink of an eye, the cracks expanded from being able to fit only a finger to a whole fist.
When Bloody Soul and Tiger Fang Saber clashed once more, the reinforced concrete above them finally collapsed and fell.
The two men finally separated from each other.
With the collapsed debris between them, they panted harshly.
Their right arms were bloody and mangled, as if they had been placed in a meat grinder for five minutes.
Their left arms might have seemed to be in perfect condition, but their knuckles, elbow joints, and even shoulder joints were all trembling out of control.
Meng Chao discovered that he had underestimated Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang’s ferocity.
His original plan was to show weakness and lure his enemy to close in on him. Then, at a critical moment, he would use all his strength and instantly kill the criminal.
But after fighting against him for ten seconds, he found that the battle felt like he was walking on a tightrope above hell. When he faced this fierce demon whose cultivation realm was above his, he had to use all his strength and intellect to fight against him. Every 0.1 seconds was of utmost importance.
Even if there was a 1% neglect, he might die.
If he tried to lure Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang to close in on him, there was a high chance that his plan would backfire on him, and from pretending to lose, he would end up really losing. Then, things would take a downward turn for him and he would be completely defeated.
Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang looked at his chest. There were a few wounds close to his heart. An unprecedentedly grave look appeared on his face.
The wounds were really faint and not a lot of blood flowed out before they were cured by the nourishment of his spirit energy.
To Heaven Realm superhumans, such wounds were no different from ant bites.
The problem was, he had not been able to see just when Meng Chao had managed to land those hits that were so close to his heart. He could not tell from what angle he had attacked nor what weapon he had used.
For a period of time, they treated each other as a powerful enemy they had never met in their entire lives.
And it was at this moment that they really felt that they might die.
This feeling made their fighting spirit burn one hundred times brighter, and their conditions reached a state beyond their personal best.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, a dull explosion came once more from above them. It seemed to have come from a spot far away from them.
For a period of time, the entire place swayed violently.
Their expressions changed at the same time.
It happened. A second collapse. It was what they were most afraid of.
After Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World, most of the buildings were made of multi-layer frames and composite support structures. Some people were even crazy enough to use the techniques to build gravity dams.
No matter how strong the super crystal bomb was, it did not manage to collapse the entire building.
Only the internal structure was reduced to ruins.
There was a lot of room to move about in the ruins. Otherwise, Meng Chao could not have crawled away so easily.
But after the explosion, spirit energy spilled out, and flames burned.
As they flowed about like magma, a lot of the girders, steel pillars, and steel frames melted, and the frames lost their support.
When ruins that weighed more than ten thousand tons collapsed, it was very likely for there to be chain reactions.
The more areas fell apart, the faster the collapse would be, and the larger the scale of the collapse would be as well.
Before long, the second collapse might level the entire building to the ground. The burning pieces and the magma that was mixed with melted steel would fill every inch of the underground levels, and even the place where Meng Chao and Gao Yang were would turn into a huge graveyard.
Even powerful fighters like Meng Chao and Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang could not promise that they could survive the second collapse, because it was bound to be even fiercer than the first.
Even if they managed to survive, they could not predict how they would end up when they were squashed underground by a few ten thousand tons of ruins, burned by heat that was thousands of degrees Celsius hot, and surrounded by melted steel.
Perhaps they would be trapped under the ruins for more than ten days while heavily injured.
Then, they would not be able to control their lives and deaths, as well as what would happen to them after they managed to escape.
When the two thought of this, their eyes sparkled at the same time, and they started looking around.
Explosions kept sounding above them.
The ground swayed even more viciously.
They could even hear creaking sounds coming from the floors and frames above them. They originated from metal pushed and bent beyond its limit.
The two men felt like they were ants trapped in a metal can and tossed into the sea. Now, they had to withstand atmospheric pressure thousands of times stronger than the surface pressing on them.
The smoke as thick as ink slowly spilled through the holes and cracks above them.
Usually, once smoke became hotter, it would become lighter than air and drift up through ventilation pipes and cracks.
But this smoke and poisonous fog was heavier than air, which was why it came underground. It contained a lot of impurities, so it could enter human organs and interfere with the superhumans’ spirit energy magnetic fields.
The black fog gradually covered their ankles, knees, and waists. It was about to fill the entire space.
Both of them felt their mouth, throat, and lungs burn and sting.
Their wounds also burned and started to turn black.
They looked at each other and understood the elusive thoughts in each other’s eyes.
With great tacit understanding, they carefully took one step back, then another, and another to widen the distance between them.
They retreated from the battle area to the two corners that were diagonally apart from each other. The distance between them was the farthest possible within the limited space.
It was only then that they sighed in relief. They wanted to turn around and leave the battlefield.
However, at the moment both of them turned around, a spark lit up in Meng Chao’s eyes.
He pushed against the wall in front of him, and with the force it provided him, he jumped straight back.
With the distance that they gave each other, it was perfect for him to summon his strength and charge back at maximum speed.
He turned into a human-shaped saber, and the sound of the wind as he pushed through the air was about to turn into a sonic boom. Bloody Soul instantly filled with spirit energy and revealed its second form, which was even fiercer than the first. Now, it looked like a huge axe that could split a mountain, and Meng Chao swung it viciously at Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang.
However, what he saw was not Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang’s back.
Instead, he saw the peerless criminal’s face and bloodshot eyes.
His Tiger Fang Saber had also become wider, longer, and sharper as he filled it full with spirit energy.
His spirit energy crushed the crystals on the saber, causing the brightness of the saber glare to instantly surpass the long-distance searchlights used by outdoor survivors. It dazzled Meng Chao’s eyes.
Bang!
Bloody Soul and Tiger Fang Soul crashed into each other, creating thousands of electric arcs that danced like snakes.
They fell back with blood gushing out of their mouths, as if they had been struck by lightning.
But they did not dare to stop and catch their breaths. They did not even dare to moan in pain.
They knew very clearly that right from the start, the other party never thought about running away from this incredibly dangerous battlefield.
Unless they died together, on of them was bound to die before the building completely collapsed!
