Capítulo 28: Chapter Twenty-eight: Are You Confident in Your Strength?
Addressing the leader by name is a grave transgression among the clans.
According to the traditions of the Huyan clan, a leader must be a recognized powerhouse within the tribe, possessing both strength and the ability to govern.
Huyan Longzhuo's actions had transcended mere politeness; he was outright challenging the very authority of the leader!
In the distance, Wang Hui learned of this individual's background from Huyan Wu, an involuntary smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Oppressed in childhood, he worked diligently to rise against his fate, ultimately standing tall in the world...
He certainly fits the archetype of a protagonist, yet his temperament is rather extreme."
Meanwhile, on the arena stage,
Huyan Longzhuo disregarded the disapproving expression of Huyan Gui and once again surveyed the crowd, exclaiming:
"What of the elders? And the leader?
You lofty figures, are you not all compelled to bow before me?
Even that pretentious deity, I shall one day..."
Boom!!
Before Huyan Longzhuo could finish, a remarkably robust figure leaped over the crowd, landing heavily on the stage!
The sturdy surface bore the brunt of his weight, leaving two deep impressions!
Wow!
Huyan Wu flung aside his hooded cloak, revealing a body encased in a dark, armored shell.
"You, are you confident in your own strength?"
His voice boomed like thunder, resonating in the ears of the spectators, who felt a dull ringing.
Especially the members of the Zuo Qiu and Nalan clans, their hearts racing in astonishment; this elder leader seemed even stronger than the rumors suggested!
And Huyan Longzhuo, standing on stage, could feel the immense pressure bearing down on him.
Defeat was inevitable!
A thought surged through his mind.
Yet facing the elder leader's condescending gaze, Huyan Longzhuo's inherent defiance was ignited.
If he dared not strike down the divine servant, how could he challenge a god?
"Ah!!"
Huyan Longzhuo roared, gathering his resolve as he rushed forward, brandishing his blade in a fierce strike toward the elder leader's neck!
Crack!
However, the elder leader deftly grasped the blade's tip in a single hand; no matter how fiercely Huyan Longzhuo exerted himself, he could not advance the blade an inch!
With a swift twist of his wrist, the thick wooden sword splintered piece by piece.
In his astonishment, Huyan Longzhuo felt a powerful blow to his abdomen, causing his body to tumble backward uncontrollably!
He rolled several times until he reached the edge of the stage, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Is this your full power?"
The elder leader slowly withdrew his foot, disappointment etched across his face. "Weak, far too weak!"
At that moment, the spectators emerged from their state of shock.
The once invincible Huyan Longzhuo had been wounded by the elder leader in a single exchange?
Nalan Hua Zi, who had just acquired the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, wore a solemn expression.
In his youth, he had briefly sparred with the elder leader at the peak of his strength without a decisive victor.
At that time, Nalan Hua Zi had surmised that in their prime, the elder leader might prevail, but not by an overwhelming margin.
Yet now...
Their strengths were no longer in the same realm; even with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, he would merely prolong the inevitable!
"No... I have defeated so many strong opponents; how could there be such a disparity between us?!"
Huyan Longzhuo could not accept this harsh reality.
He wiped the blood from his lips, snatching a fellow clansman's dagger from the edge of the arena and charged forward once more!
Bang!!
The blade struck the elder leader's arm shield, failing to pierce.
Then the elder leader raised his fist, and Huyan Longzhuo could not evade in time, sent sprawling to the ground, blood spraying from his mouth and nose!
Enduring the dizziness, he managed to push himself off the ground and rolled to the side, narrowly evading the elder leader's follow-up kick.
Boom!!
Gazing at the noticeable dent created by the kick on the stage, Huyan Longzhuo's cheek twitched.
Had he been struck, his internal organs would surely have been crushed!
"Some are born strong and affluent, while others are born weak and impoverished; there is no absolute fairness in this world."
Boom!!
"The arrival of the divine has bestowed upon mortals abundant sustenance and formidable armaments, granting us the power to protect ourselves amidst calamity."
Boom!!
"And you, having indulged in the resources gifted by the divine yet audaciously exhibiting disrespect toward the divine...
You deserve to perish!"
Boom!!
With each pronouncement, a powerful stomp resonated.
As he approached the kneeling Huyan Longzhuo, the stage had been marred by a series of deep impressions.
Cracks spread like a vast net, ensnaring Huyan Longzhuo!
The overwhelming aura rendered the crowd silent; each stomp felt as though it pressed against their very hearts, making it difficult to breathe!
"I..."
Faced with the elder leader, Huyan Longzhuo was drenched in sweat.
He yearned to protest, his throat quivering, but he could not articulate a coherent response.
After declaring the death sentence, the elder leader's serrated ant jaws lunged toward Huyan Longzhuo's head!
In an instant, an overwhelming intent to kill surged forth, akin to a tidal wave crashing down!
Huyan Longzhuo's eyes widened, paralyzed by sheer terror, endless regret flooding his heart.
If only he had been more aware, realizing the vast gulf between himself and a top-tier master, perhaps he could have avoided this catastrophe...
Crack!
In his daze, Huyan Longzhuo faintly heard a light sound.
He presumed it was a dying illusion, yet something felt amiss.
The tip of the serrated ant jaws halted just before his brow!
It was not that the elder leader had chosen to stop his assault, but rather that a hand had seized his wrist!
Huyan Longzhuo turned his gaze dully, noticing a man with unconventional attire and short hair appearing beside the elder leader.
This individual exuded no overtly powerful aura, yet with a mere grasp, he effortlessly halted the elder leader's fatal strike!
"Hu... hu..."
Huyan Longzhuo collapsed, panting heavily.
After countless battles, he now truly understood what it meant to experience "the great terror of life and death"!
How foolish he had been to believe himself invincible; now, faced with these two, his meager strength felt utterly laughable!
Oh—
At that moment, the crowd erupted in surprised gasps.
The elder leader's single-handed defense against the full-force Huyan Longzhuo was astonishing enough.
Yet, even more absurd was the sudden appearance of this individual who had effortlessly interrupted the elder leader's attack with a single hand!
No, to say "interrupted" might not be quite accurate.
For this person seemed to engage not in battle but merely extended a hand with casual ease.
Just as his entrance had been, it resonated powerfully amidst the calm!
"Great deity, we humbly welcome you!"
The first to break the silence was the ever-dramatic Nalan Xia.
"Zuo Qiu clan! Join me in paying homage to the divine!"
Following closely was Zuo Qiu Yue.
Individuals from both clans knelt in reverence, while the Huyan clan followed suit.
Is this the visage of the divine?
For the majority, today marked their first encounter with Wang Hui, indelibly impressed by the recent spectacle!
With an effortless gesture, he had dispelled a thunderous assault, demonstrating an unfathomable power!
