Hail the King

Chapter 922: Real Strength (Part One)

The real battle only began less than ten minutes ago, yet Fei had been punched more than 10,000 times. Blood spilled out, looking like blooming bloodflowers. Also, the king was pushed back repeatedly.

One retreating and one chasing, the two of them turned into two beams of light and dashed around in the sky, leaving many chaotic and messy afterimages in the clear blue sky. It was clear that Reus wanted to make Fei look bad in front of everyone who admired and worshipped him, so he made sure that the battlefield was above Dixie City.

“Hahaha! That is enough! Is this everything you have?”

“You sure disappoint me. I’m already growing annoyed with a trash toy like you. Game over! Now, let me take you out of this world!”

Reus seemed to have lost interest in this battle.

This man’s movement slowed down for a moment; it looked like he was about to unleash an ultimate strike. At this second, Fei’s eyes could finally capture Reus’ fists and arms.

The green flames on Reus’ fists gradually condensed, extending outward like vicious icicles. All his hands were covered, including most of his forearms.

As Reus clenched his hands and formed fists, an even sharper and pointier green spike grew out. With a metallic texture, it seemed like the weapon of the Grim Reaper, instantly making Fei sense imminent danger as if a sharp blade were pressing on his back.

As soon as Fei saw this, he was hit before he could even try to dodge.

An indescribable streak of sharp energy penetrated the [Honor Shield] in Fei’s hand, instantly dashing into Fei’s arm and reaching his shoulder. Next, it traveled through the blood vessels inside Fei’s body and harmed his internal organs. As if an invisible explosion went off in Fei’s body, all the weak organs on the inside shattered.

“Egh… puff!”

Fei raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. Mixed in with the blood were broken pieces of organs.

In the next moment, blood flowed out of Fei’s eyes, nose, ears, and mouth without stopping.

A streak of violent wind-elemental energy continued to explode inside Fei’s body, damaging it further.

On the ground, the warriors who saw this scene gasped in shock.

Inside the campsite of Chambord, [Son of Wind] Torres was about to drop everything and dash into the sky, but he was instantly pulled back by the Undead Mage beside him. Hazel Bank shook his head and told Torres not to worry for now and observe for a bit longer.

“Game over!” Reus made the judgment.

He didn’t continue to chase. Seeing Fei who was staggering in the air and about to fall off, unhidden disdain appeared in Reus’ eyes. The violent energy slowly dispersed from his body, and he said while shaking his head in disappointment, “Unfortunately, I thought that you, the Human Emperor of the North, could give me a pleasant surprise. Now, it seems like a character like you doesn’t deserve my attention. You are meant to be the stepping stone for the real geniuses who are on the path to the realm of gods. Your story ends here!”

“It is still too early to end. Hahaha… Eh, puff!” Fei raised his head and laughed. Since he used too much force, he spat out another mouthful of blood that was mixed with chunks of his internal organs. After a short pause, he laughed slowly and said, “Really? Do you want to put an end to my legend? Your strength is far from enough!”

“Huh?” A strange light flashed in Reus’ eyes, and he mocked, “What, Poor Bug. Do you still have the strength to fight back? With such severe injuries, you can’t even defeat the energy in my finger.”

Chapter 922: Real Strength (Part Two)

Right now, Fei was in a terrible condition.

Many dents and injuries were on his body, looking like the surface of the Earth after many meteorites struck and left deep craters. Blood was flowing out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, and his entire right arm almost only had the white bones left; only a few pieces of flesh hung on his bones after the explosion.

[Griswold’s Honor – Vortex Shield] that Fei was holding onto was almost shattered after blocking so many strikes, and spider-web-like cracks were all over it. Right now, it was translucent, looking like it was going to break apart after the wind blew at it. This was the sign that the durability of the items from Diablo World reached the lower limit. This shield was going to become trash if it were used in battle again before it was repaired.

This was the most severe and tragic condition that Fei had ever been in since he came to the Azeroth Continent. Even when he was in that dangerous battle at the bottom of the sea, he was doing better.

Reus was the most terrifying opponent that Fei had encountered so far.

While ignoring other things, his speed alone completely suppressed Fei.

However, this didn’t mean that Fei was completely defeated.

“The real battle is about to begin!” A strange smile appeared on Fei’s face; he didn’t look to be in pain at all.

In the next moment, streaks of golden light rings flashed on Fei. Every time a golden light ring flashed, Fei’s injuries healed up a bit. This frequency seemed slow, but it was actually rapid. In just a few seconds, all of Fei’s injuries were completely healed. Even his damaged and destroyed internal organs all recovered.

The vitality of Sun-Class Lords was insane! They could easily regrow their body parts. However, Fei was so injured that his heart was even broken. The fact that he quickly healed in such a short time was stunning and unimaginable even for Sun-Class Lords. Reus who looked down on Fei seemed surprised as well.

However, this proud young lord quickly smiled carelessly.

“Self-heal? It is an interesting technique, but what can you do? Even if you go back to your prime, you can only receive beating a few more times. I was able to almost kill you for the first time, so I can do it again and again. I wonder how many times you can self-heal like this?”

Reus guessed that Fei’s rapid self-heal used some of his Sun-Class core energy, so he couldn’t do it too many times.

Unfortunately, Reus didn’t know that Fei just used [Prayer]. As long as Fei had enough mana, he could use this Paladin skill as many times as he wanted; there was no limit to it.

“You will know soon. However, before that, I need to exercise for a bit.” Fei stretched a little, and a series of cracking noises sounded from his body. Then, he put away the shield and the caduceus, going back to barehand.

“What? You don’t want to hide behind your shield like a turtle anymore?” With his hands crossed in front of his chest, Reus stared at Fei calmly and said with a mocking smile as if he were a big cat and Fei were a little mouse, “Barehand? You want to shame yourself further?”

“You will soon know what I’m up to.” The smile on Fei’s face didn’t change. After stretching, he fully exhaled and said, “Great, my body is properly warmed up. You had a good time punching me, right? It is my turn now.”

As soon as he said that, the smile on Fei’s face disappeared. Instead, a cold murderous spirit appeared in the king’s eyes.

“Continue. Let me see what you are relying on…” The mocking expression on Reus’ face intensified.

Snap!

Before he could finish speaking, a loud snapping noise sounded in the air.

Chapter 922: Real Strength (Part Three)

Then, flames appeared and engulfed Fei, and the king dashed toward Reus like a beam of light and punched out with both fists that looked like lightning bolts.

“So slow. It is impossible to strike me…” Reus shook his head with the mocking expression.

“Really?” Fei sneered.

In the next moment, Reus’ mocking smile suddenly froze on his face.

Just as he were about to show off his speed, which was his pride, and counterattack, he somehow found that his body was as stiff as a piece of rotting wood; he could hardly move it!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Before he could wake up from the surprise, a series of punching noises sounded.

Fei’s fists ‘greeted’ Reus’ handsome face without mercy. As if everything were happening in slow motion, Fei’s fists struck Reus’ face forcefully, and the muscles on Reus’ face unstoppably vibrated in waves. Then, Reus’ head turned backward in a terrifying angle, and a white tooth flew out of his mouth that was uncontrollably open with a streak of blood behind it!

Unstoppable cheers exploded on the ground.

The situation turned in a direction that almost no one expected. It felt like Goddess of Victory teased Reus for a while before shifting her interest and trying to flirt with Fei.

“You…” Reus was angry and shocked.

“You, you, you… what? How did my fists taste? Haha! F*ck you!”

Fei roared and vented all his pent-up anger. He instantly switched to his Barbarian character, and the iron fists of the Hell Mode level 100 Barbarian were too much to take. Each fist contained unparalleled strength that could move mountains and shift seas, and now Fei was unleashing his full force.

Reus felt like a huge hammer of the gods struck his head, and his head buzzed continuously. Under such explosive impact to his head, all his thoughts and reactions slowed down instantly. Like a puppet that had broken strings, he couldn’t do anything as he was struck repeatedly and pushed back.

Seizing the opportunity, Fei didn’t give Reus any time or space to react. Like Reus’ shadow, the king followed him tightly and continued to punch out; his fists looked like raindrops in a storm.

This scene was extremely similar to before. The only difference was that the offense and defense… To put it more clearly, the person throwing punches and the person getting beat switched places.

“What… is… going on?”

After close to a minute, Reus, who got punched many times and now looked like a pig, was barely able to react. The tempo of the battle was in Fei’s control.

When Reus tried to ignite his hidden strength to turn the situation around, he was terrified to find that a streak of cold and chilly energy appeared in his body.

It was this chilly energy that froze his body. It made him lose the speed advantage and get beat by Fei.

“What is going on? How come this streak of chilly energy appeared in my body?”

“Did the King of Chambord inject it into my body earlier?”

“This is impossible! Why didn’t I sense anything? The King of Chambord… he couldn’t have this level of strength. When did it happen?”

“Damn it. This streak of energy completely immobilized me. Such terrifying chilly energy! It was able to invade my body without me knowing and restrict my movements…”

Reus gradually realized what was happening. Although he didn’t know what method Fei used, he was sure that he somehow fell into the trap.

He instantly felt a sense of shame and anger that was hard to describe, and this violent emotion shot out of his heart. He never expected that he would be put in such a terrible situation by someone who he mocked and described as trash in the weakest Northern Region.
