The viewers' chatter in the livestream could not affect the two men in the arena.
After Dao announced the start of the grand finale, Roxstar cautiously took two steps forward.
When he discovered that the previously invisible air barrier had vanished, the corners of his lips suddenly split all the way to his ears, making his face look horribly twisted.
He laughed savagely. "Damn Earthling, you were pretty arrogant before!"
"Now..."
"Keep going!"
A vast shadow followed Roxstar's movement and engulfed Zhou Zhe.
Zhou Zhe gave him an indifferent glance.
"Fine."
The next instant, his figure flashed.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Roxstar.
"As you wish."
The blade light spun, dancing a dazzling radiance across the Starry Dragon Bone Arena!
With the enhancement of the Wind Riding Blade Technique and the Blademaster title, Zhou Zhe's casual slash was as breathtaking as an epiphyllum blooming!
Whoosh!
Disdain appeared on Roxstar's face as he tried to take the slash head-on.
Displaying absolute defensive power to drive his opponent into despair, then torturing them to death bit by bit, was the best way to vent the fury in his heart.
However...
As the blade light flickered, the shadow of death instantly engulfed Roxstar!
The concentrated essence of EX Gene energy at his right ear also frantically issued a death warning!
"What a vicious blade! What a decisive fellow!"
Roxstar's expression changed drastically. Instinctively, he tilted his head.
The next moment, there was a metallic clang, and one of the horns atop his head snapped off.
"That's impossible!"
"It's merely a cold weapon! How can it reach such a level?"
Roaring in pain, Roxstar pushed off with both feet and instantly retreated dozens of steps.
The pain from his head stimulated his eyes until they turned blood-red. Muscles all over his body swelled, making him seem another size larger. He looked like a humanoid tank—hideous and terrifying.
"How ignorant."
Zhou Zhe's gaze fell upon the severed horn bleeding on the ground. He casually flicked the long blade in his hand. "Arrogance has blinded your eyes, leaving you unable to see the truth of the world."
As he spoke, Zhou Zhe spun the blade in his hand, his voice clear and resounding. "Come! Receive death!"
Roxstar glared at Zhou Zhe, thick breaths blasting from his nostrils. "You contemptible little thing without even a rating!"
"I am a Black Iron Two-Star Gladiator! If you hadn't ambushed me just now..."
"Damn excuses!"
Before he could finish, Roxstar slapped himself across the face, and his aura became even sharper and more menacing.
"From here on, I won't hold back."
As he spoke, he raised one finger. "One punch!"
"One punch is all it takes to kill you!"
Once he finished speaking, Roxstar transformed into a black-red streak of light and flashed before Zhou Zhe in an instant.
The Horned Demon from Sigma Star had muscles rolling over his body like little mice. His already incomparably thick arms swelled to the width of an ordinary person's waist, massive beyond belief.
His speed was incredibly fast!
As for his strength, there was no need to elaborate!
If Zhou Zhe took that punch, he would undoubtedly die!
Forget Zhou Zhe—even an elephant standing here would be beaten to death alive by the enraged Roxstar!
However...
The ferocious punch missed.
Zhou Zhe stood two meters away from Roxstar with his head tilted, his expression strange. "Very fierce, but useless."
Those words viciously stabbed at Roxstar's pride.
His eyes turned scarlet, and he seemed to lose all reason as he bombarded Zhou Zhe with punch after punch.
His momentum was overwhelming, as though even a small mountain before him would be blasted into dust.
Unfortunately.
After evading a savage punch like a bursting sea and collapsing tsunami, Zhou Zhe did not draw his blade. He merely said calmly, "Speed, strength, defense, endurance..."
"Because of the EX Gene, the pattern of your body's six-dimensional attribute panel is very similar to Blood Scale's. You have no especially glaring weaknesses and have developed in almost every aspect."
He continued evading.
"Only, comparatively speaking... they are a little weaker."
"You're like a weakened version of the Rare Beast Blood Scale."
The words weakened version of Blood Scale completely drove Roxstar out of his mind.
"The pride and dignity of a Horned Demon cannot be trampled upon!"
Like a cannonball, he smashed toward Zhou Zhe.
Yet Zhou Zhe leaped lightly, effortlessly springing out of the way.
Roxstar, who had seemed to have lost his mind, instantly revealed a hideous smile twisted like that of a vicious ghost. "You fell for it!"
Before extraordinary power reached a certain level, jumping during battle was an extremely foolish act—it exposed flaws and openings. When faced with an enemy attack, one could not evade in time, giving the enemy an opportunity to exploit.
Roxstar was not as reckless and foolish as he looked.
In truth, on Sigma Star, he was also a renowned genius. His talent, combat experience, and killing instincts were all immensely formidable. Even without using his trump-card killing techniques, he had been hailed as a "supernova."
"This is only the second Cosmic Arena Combat I've participated in! It won't be my last!"
"Victory! Victory! Victory!"
"I will keep winning, again and again!"
"In the end, I will become as strong as that man! I will even surpass him!"
Roxstar shot upward and roared fanatically, "I am a man destined to become the Absolute Ruler!"
With his head slightly lowered, he charged at Zhou Zhe, who had nowhere to brace himself in the sky.
It looked as though he intended to use his only remaining demonic horn to pierce Zhou Zhe straight through!
An Earthling's body was frail beyond compare; it did not even possess energy essence.
Even if he did not hit vital areas such as the head or heart, it would still be fatal.
"Heh."
Zhou Zhe gave a soft laugh and lightly stepped through the air like a flying swallow.
Bang!
Beneath his feet seemed to be a cluster of misty azure clouds. Borrowing force from thin air, he completed a second jump and forcibly evaded Roxstar's attack!
And not only that...
The long blade in Zhou Zhe's hand arced downward in midair, instantly severing Roxstar's left hand.
Splurt!
Blood sprayed wildly, carrying a heavy scent of sulfur.
"Horned Demon blood... smells pretty good."
Zhou Zhe landed on the Dragon Bone Arena, flicking the beads of blood from his blade. His clear gaze settled on Roxstar. "I said before that I would cut you into more than a hundred pieces and bring you back for the scientists to analyze."
"In life, the two words credibility matter."
"If you say it, you must do it."
Though he had spoken cruel words, the bright silver blade in Zhou Zhe's hand gleamed beneath the starlight.
Its black-blue lacquered spine and layered cloud patterns made it look less like a butcher's slaughtering knife and more like a precise, elegant surgical blade.
The pain of his severed hand made black veins bulge across Roxstar's forehead.
Yet after letting out a muffled groan, he immediately picked up the severed hand from the ground and pressed it against the stump.
A shocking scene appeared!
A faint red bloody glow emerged from the wound.
Muscle and scales grew wildly at a pace visible to the naked eye!
In the span of a single breath, the severed hand completely regenerated!
Not only that, thick dark-red rough scales resembling a wrist guard appeared at the site of the injury!
Roxstar looked solemnly at Zhou Zhe. "You are a powerful opponent, but..."
"My talent, my genes, my race are superior!"
As he spoke, a smile of Madness Aura appeared on Roxstar's face. "Let me tell you a secret!"
"On Sigma Star, I am the one-in-a-hundred-million, legendary 'Super Horned Demon'!"
"I was born a favored child of heaven, beloved by the consciousness of Sigma Star!"
"The talents of Super Regeneration and Super Optimization make me stronger after every injury!"
"My potential, my future, are limitless... Aaaah!"
In that lightning-fast instant!
A blade shadow swept past.
A severed arm flew through the air.
The pain surged into his heart, making Roxstar look at his severed arm in disbelief.
Zhou Zhe slowly turned around, his tone indifferent. "That's it?"
At last, we can finally see the chapter comments today.
All the previous ones got swallowed.
My scalp is tingling.
