Chapter 364 Finally Victory
Transforming into his armored form, Li Chenglong continuously switched between his four basic forms, leaving Zhao Wuji with only the ability to parry and no chance to retaliate. Yun Lan and the others cheered, encouraging Li Chenglong. Although Zhao Wuji was at a disadvantage, he showed no signs of losing; on the contrary, he was merely stalling for time, wanting to see how much energy Li Chenglong could sustain in his relentless attacks.
Li Chenglong assessed his own spiritual energy and found he had about 40% remaining. He estimated Zhao Wuji's spiritual energy was at least 60% to 70%. There was no way around it; after level 11, each level was vastly different, especially for Awakened Ones, where the gap was even greater. This explained why some level 11 Awakened Ones could defeat some level 12 Ability Users. As an Awakened One, one was essentially invincible among Ability Users of similar potential and level.
Facing a Level 13 SS-rank Awakener like Zhao Wuji, Li Chenglong knew he had no choice but to fight desperately; some ordinary moves, like the Galactic Explosion, would be ineffective. He secretly communicated with the Dragon Spirit, instructing it to prepare for battle. At the same time, he began activating the G-Crystal and Aizamlai Metal within his body, while also unleashing the Holy Dragon Blood to its current limit.
Zhao Wuji had sensed that his opponent's spiritual energy was gradually decreasing and was preparing to counterattack and seize victory in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Li Chenglong's entire body began to emit golden light, his spiritual energy began to recover rapidly, and even the ground began to tremble.
Zhao Wuji took a few steps back, and Li Chenglong, focused on channeling his energy, didn't give chase. "Spirit Summoning! Three-Headed Demonic Dragon!" He waved his hands forcefully, releasing a massive surge of energy that gradually formed a gigantic three-headed, winged Western demonic dragon above his head. Each of the three dragon's heads was gathering energy, and judging by the color, it appeared to be three different types of energy.
As the three-headed dragon appeared, the earth began to tremble violently, as if an 8-magnitude earthquake had struck. Thick black clouds shrouded the sky, and dazzling, enormous lightning bolts occasionally struck the earth from the clouds. Yun Lan urged the lower-level ability users and ordinary people behind her to retreat quickly; the energy was simply too immense for ordinary people to withstand.
Li Chenglong turned and shouted, "Retreat! Everyone retreat! Retreat as far as possible! Hurry!" On the other side, Shangguan Yunbing also began to lead her people to retreat quickly. The energy of the battle between the two was beyond what they could withstand at close range. Shangguan Jingyun shouted, "City Lord Li, you should retreat too! This energy is too terrifying; we can't withstand it. Retreat quickly!"
Li Chenglong shook his head: "No, if I retreat, then our human side will lose, and we absolutely cannot lose!" Yun Lan shouted: "What are we doing worrying about victory or defeat at a time like this? Let's retreat for now, and we'll think of something else later!" However, due to the immense energy and the sound of thunder in the arena, Yun Lan's voice did not carry. Meanwhile, Shangguan Jingyun and Zhou Siyun promptly pulled away Li Xue, Yun Lan, and Zhao Liying, who did not want to leave.
Li Chenglong, having already completed his energy gathering, stared at the terrifying Zhao Wuji and the enormous three-headed dragon opposite him. He was now enveloped in dazzling golden light, and the rapid flow of blood made his veins bulge clearly visible.
"Summoning spirit! Dragon spirit, cooperate with me!" Immediately, a youth flew out from his body, circled above Li Cheng's head, and then transformed into a huge five-clawed golden dragon. With the appearance of the holy dragon, half of the black clouds that had been summoned by the three-headed demonic dragon disappeared instantly, while the tremors on the ground became even more violent.
The group, who had already retreated 4 kilometers, looked back and were shocked to see a huge golden dragon and another three-headed demonic dragon confronting each other in the distant sky. The golden dragon shimmered in the air, gathering energy, while the three heads of the three-headed demonic dragon also flickered with light due to the gathering of energy.
"They're going to clash!" Yun Lan exclaimed. "Emperor's Holy Dragon Slash!" "Demonic Dragon Triple Strike!" Li Chenglong, wielding the Emperor's Sword, and Zhao Wuji, holding the Demonic Dragon Halberd, clashed together, while the five-clawed golden dragon and the three-headed giant dragon also spewed out terrifying energy waves from their mouths, colliding with each other.
A massive mushroom cloud immediately appeared at the arena, the explosion deafening, and the shockwave ripped up layers of ground, creating a sandstorm as powerful as ever. Several earth-elemental ability users instantly summoned walls of earth using their strongest techniques, while others channeled their energy into these walls to increase their resistance to pressure.
The mushroom cloud lingered for over ten minutes before gradually dissipating. Both humans and zombies huddled together to withstand the shockwave released by the immense energy. Two level 9 zombies who failed to escape in time were sliced in two by the shockwave and then crushed into dust.
Yunlan patted the thick layer of dust off her clothes and said, "Is everyone alright? The shockwave has stopped." More than two hundred people poked their heads out. Apart from a few ordinary people who hadn't taken proper shelter and had been hit by falling rocks and suffered minor injuries, everyone else was unharmed. Liu Xuehua breathed a sigh of relief and said with some lingering fear, "There was also the high wall reinforced by more than a dozen earth-type ability users, and you guys injected energy to strengthen it. Otherwise, I really don't know what would have happened."
Feng Ling, standing to the side, said, "They're still fighting, but both sides are exhausted. To prevent the zombies from causing danger, we should hurry over." Everyone nodded. In the end, five people stayed behind to protect the members of the peace negotiation delegation, while Yun Lan, Shangguan Jingyun, and the other five rushed towards the arena. On the other side, Dongfang Yunbing had the same idea and led the four marshals and others towards the arena.
Upon closer inspection, the group was astonished to find that the area within a two-kilometer radius had turned into a large crater, and it grew deeper the further they went in. In some places, water was bubbling up, indicating that the water level was higher there. Yunlan and the others rushed over and saw two people, their clothes already tattered, still attacking each other. However, their current method of attack was the simplest: you punch me, I punch you.
Both men bore different injuries. Li Chenglong had numerous bloodstains on his fair chest, while Zhao Wuji's back was also covered in wounds. They roared simultaneously and charged into a wrestling match. Li Chenglong had been waiting for this moment; a glint of light emanated from his abdomen, instantly restoring much of his energy. He then delivered a powerful punch, sending Zhao Wuji flying.
"Qin Wan, has he fallen out of the ring?" A weary Li Chenglong looked at the astonished Qin Wan. Qin Wan glanced at everyone and hurriedly began to check, but the place had completely changed. Not only was the arena gone, but even the audience seats had vanished without a trace. However, judging from the distance, he must have fallen out of the ring.
Qin Wan glanced at Dongfang Yunbing, seemingly asking for her opinion. Dongfang Yunbing looked at the Emperor lying in the distance, her heart filled with hesitation. Just as she was still struggling with her decision, Zhao Wuji's somewhat weak voice rang out: "I concede. He won this battle."
"Yay!" Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Yunlan and the others cheered. Li Xue rushed over to treat Li Chenglong, Zhao Liying helped him up, and Yunlan, with tears in her eyes, hugged him tightly. Shangguan Jingyun and Li Chenglong exchanged a glance, nodded, and gave each other a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, Western Marshal Baihu treated Zhao Wuji, allowing him to move freely. Zhao Wuji walked up to Li Chenglong and extended his hand. Li Chenglong reached out his hand, and the two clasped hands tightly. Zhao Liying quickly took out her camera to capture this precious moment.
Zhao Wuji didn't say much and left accompanied by the four marshals. Dongfang Yunbing said that the talks would continue early the next morning, and that her side would keep its promises and make some further concessions. Li Chenglong chatted with her for a few minutes and then left with Yunlan and the others.
