Chapter 484 The Unfinished Battle
Chapter 484 The Unfinished Battle
"Captain, are you okay?"
After releasing the birds and beasts, the team members who had been ordered not to interfere in the battle came to offer their condolences. Lie Zhao waved his hand and looked up.
He was not satisfied with the battle he just fought.
Lie Zhao was too outstanding and grew too fast. It was difficult to find an opponent who was on the same wavelength as him within the three races. Before Lei Xiu appeared, he had not had a satisfying fight for a long time.
Normally, as the team leader, he can't act arbitrarily when leading the team on missions; he has to consider the overall situation.
So even though his whole body was screaming with excitement at meeting an opponent, he still forced himself to suppress it.
But now, he doesn't want to put up with it anymore.
The captain's unusually silent demeanor today made the team members tremble with fear. They pushed and shoved each other, and finally managed to select an unlucky guy to step forward. Just then, Lie Zhao's golden armor flashed, and he shot straight into the sky.
"Hey, Captain, where are you going?"
Ignoring the shouts of his teammates, Lie Zhao flapped his wings and came to a position parallel to Lei Xiu. With a flick of his wrist, a long sword instantly appeared in his right hand.
"You probably didn't have your last match either. Why don't you come today, since it's the perfect opportunity..."
Seeing such a wanton expression in his eyes for the first time, Lei Xiu's fighting spirit was instantly ignited.
Lezhi, who had just flown over and was about to greet Lie Zhao, thought: "…………??"
What's going on? What did he miss? Didn't Lie Zhao just finish fighting with the birds and beasts? Why is he suddenly challenging Lei Xiu to a duel?
Completely bewildered, Lezhi hesitated, unsure how to react.
Just then, Lie Zhi broke free from his paralysis and led his men to catch up. Seeing this, he quickly grabbed Le Zhi, saying, "Le Zhi, don't go. At this time, no one can persuade you."
"Ah... but is it really appropriate to just leave it like this?"
“It’s appropriate, what’s inappropriate about it?” Lie Zhi quickly pulled Le Zhi away, his tone like he was coaxing a child. “This fight was going to happen sooner or later. I don’t think Lei Xiu was unwilling. That’s how battle maniacs are. Once the fight is over and a winner is decided, it’s fine. Otherwise, it’s not good to keep holding it in.”
The timing is perfect; otherwise, if we returned to the clan and the clan leader kept an eye on things, Lie Zhao probably wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
"Doesn't Lei Xiu object?" Upon hearing Lie Zhi's explanation, Le Zhi turned to look at Lei Xiu, who happened to be looking at him at the same time.
Well, he certainly didn't seem unwilling; in fact, he even seemed somewhat expectant.
"Alright..." Since the parties involved were willing, he seemed to have no reason to object.
"Chirp chirp~"
"Good boy, you'll stay with me for now!" Lei Xiu probably doesn't want anyone else to interfere in this battle.
This was also the first time he had ever seriously witnessed Lei Xiu in a one-on-one battle, and after accepting reality, he couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.
The onlookers, birds and beasts, couldn't understand why, when their territory was being invaded, these alien races ended up fighting amongst themselves.
Birds and animals that enjoy watching the spectacle occupy advantageous positions, while those that are not interested flap their wings and, once they are sure there is no threat, turn around and go back to their nests to rest.
Anyway, as long as it has nothing to do with them, nothing else matters.
With no birds or beasts participating in the battle, the blackbird comforted the birds and beasts who had just been on guard duty, then rearranged the birds to stand guard again before returning to Lezhi's side, ready to watch the excitement unfold.
Other teammates who came with them were also paying attention to this battle. Lie Zhi took the lead in not objecting, and the others didn't have much to say either. At worst, if their captain lost, they would take turns carrying him back. There were many of them, so they weren't worried.
The audience is in position, just waiting for the main characters to start fighting.
……
The fact that the opponent took out a weapon meant that Lie Zhao was serious this time, so Lei Xiu naturally had to respect his opponent. With his spear in hand, Lei Xiu gave him a heads-up before the fight began: "It's not too late to regret it now, but once we start, I won't hold back."
Without holding back, that would be exactly what he wanted. A rare smile appeared on his usually serious face. "Come on!"
Without further ado, he brandished his long sword and launched an attack.
The sound of metal clashing rang out, accompanied by sparks flying as the two figures moved with incredible speed.
Lezhi thought he had the best spectator position, his eyes darting around so much they almost popped out of their sockets, but he still occasionally missed details of the movements.
"What a pity, what a pity. If only we had a high-definition camera at this moment."
Such a rare sight should be recorded and watched repeatedly.
Unlike now, where we can only trouble our brains.
"What's a camera?" Lie Zhi, who was also watching the battle, didn't understand what Le Zhi was lamenting and chatted with Le Zhi while multitasking.
"How do I explain this? It's something that can record these images." He didn't know the underlying principle either, so he could only explain the function in terms that everyone could understand.
It was practically as if he hadn't heard anything at all, but that didn't stop him from continuing, "Really? Such a good thing, where can I find it? I'll get one too."
Do you dream about it?
Suppressing the urge to retort, Lezhi pursed her lips and said, "Okay, when there's a chance."
Sometimes I really hate that he's so well-mannered.
"Oh wow, captain's move was pretty good, too bad it missed." Lie Zhi's words instantly pulled Le Zhi back from his wandering thoughts. "Where? Where?"
"Just now, it almost hit us. The Thunder Clan isn't like us. If that attack had hit us directly, we would have been seriously injured. It's a pity it was blocked. How did he judge the timing? And he even switched back to his pistol. Impressive..."
He then explained, and Lie Zhi also shared his thoughts. Le Zhi, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement, saying that Lie Zhi's problem was also his problem.
Currently, neither of them has used their talents yet; they are purely competing in moves and reactions. Lezhi puts himself in their shoes and wonders if he could react in time if he were to encounter that attack.
The final conclusion is hard to say.
Once you're truly immersed in the battle, you enter a completely different state; you only know this once you've actually fought.
"choke……"
The spears and swords clashed once again.
Neither side held back; the recoil made my arm numb, followed by endless soreness.
However, this is nothing for their physical strength.
They've tried to outmaneuver each other; now it's time to get real.
The tacit understanding arose from nowhere.
A golden light flashed across Lie Zhao's body, and the faint golden light on his skin was particularly noticeable in the darkness.
Equally noticeable was the purple electric current surging across Lei Xiu's body.
"Here it comes..." The real showdown has only just begun.
Everyone understood the unspoken message, and they all opened their eyes wide, afraid of missing a single exciting moment.
The same goes for Lezhi. When it sees electricity, it can't help but chirp softly; that's its treat.
"Cola, be good..."
Gently stroking the bird's head feathers, Lezhi watched with bated breath as the purple and gold lights collided in a blink of an eye, then separated again.
Then, at the right moment, one side launched another attack.
The contact between the two sides sometimes lasted long and sometimes short, but the constant was the incessant metallic hum.
The sound wasn't just from the clash of spears and swords, but also from the impact with Lie Zhao's body.
He was now practically a humanoid mecha, and even Lei Xiu's spear couldn't break through his defenses for a while.
Seeing this situation clearly, the Golden Armor Clan was confident, while Yuezhi frowned deeply.
With such high defense, is there really no other way?
If it were him, how would he break through against such an opponent? "Lie Zhi, with your talent being this strong, have you ever lost in previous clan battles?"
“Of course,” Lie Zhi replied. “Don’t underestimate Lie Zhao. He’s a genius that comes along only once in a hundred years, no, a thousand years, in our clan. Although the rest of us have high defense, there’s still a limit. Do you know who our neighbors are?”
"Cave dwellers and...long-clawed tribes." Not understanding why Liezhi was asking a question he already knew the answer to, Lezhi still obediently answered.
Oh my god, I almost couldn't resist patting the child's head. Luckily, my rationality kicked in before I could act, and I realized this wasn't my own child. Lie Zhi coughed twice to cover his embarrassment and continued the conversation, "Yes, the Longclaw Clan's talents are the exact opposite of ours. You'll see when you meet them. But in the end, they all lose to the Thunder Clan..."
