138 White Shark

Fully Armed

In an instant, Yuhelai lunged at Li Aoz, his body swiftly merging with the blade shark, spinning in the air as he donned his armor, before tackling Li Aoz to the ground.

Bang! Yuhelai's powerful force shoved Li Aoz headfirst into the rock wall not far away. The sturdy armor of the pioneer armor was deeply embedded in the rock. Li Aoz looked up and saw Yuhelai's distorted face gradually covered by the pale blade armor. This time he saw it very clearly: those soft and fine blades grew and seeped from under Yuhelai's skin, intertwining and weaving to form the pale knight armor.

"--Oh?"

Li Aoz slightly tilted his head, and the figure of the White Knight was reflected in his six compound eyes. "So, the so-called ' White Knight ' is nothing but a monster."

"Shut up! You're just a mortal!"

Yuhelai thrust his sword toward his neck. "It's over, mortal!"

"Yes, mortals."

Li Aoz his head, leisurely letting the blade graz his neck, then raised his hand and shoved Yuhelai in the abdomen:

"Standing before you is a mortal who has not even brought a weapon."

A burst of intense electric sparks erupted from his palms, and a high-voltage current of 300,000 volts pierced the air, creating blue-purple arcs of light that danced in the air. Yuhelai was electrocuted, and his body immediately stiffened. Li Aoz grabbed his head and simultaneously discharged electricity from both palms. The high temperature quickly passed through his body, soon emitting a smell of roasted meat.

--really.

Li Aoz's suspicions were confirmed.

This guy's armor has absolutely no defensive effect, and his physical strength could not possibly reach the Gamma-rank.

Li Aoz released his grip, Yuhelai's body plummeted from the sky like a kite with a broken string. Li Aoz didn't expect to kill the guy with the fall.

Besides, that would be too easy on him.

He leaped into the air and landed smoothly. The instant he landed, Yuhelai had already struggled to his feet, poured himself Ether Concoction, and the contempt in his crimson cross-shaped eyes when he faced Li Aoz was gone.

Li Aoz glanced around. "It's a valley, perfect for a duel."

"It was just a sneak attack." Yuhelai took out a cane made from Zonia's spine from behind his back. "It's not over yet! Don't think you've won."

"Oh, right, you reminded me."

Multiple control panels were reflected on Li Aoz's retina.

[Power Amplifier] - Off

[Automatic Balance Correction] - Off

[Biological Weapons and Equipment] - Close

"Alright then, I've already limited my physical attributes to the Beta-rank, so it's not like I'm bullying you."

Li Aoz raised his arm:

"To be fair, I won't use weapons either. Yuhelai — Zhu Baiya, what are you still standing there like an idiot?"

[Overlord Form Closed]

The flesh and blackish-red crystals receded, revealing the hideous monster-like appearance of the pioneers in their armor.

This isn't over yet.

Li Aoz reached out and removed the depleted uranium composite armor plates from his body.

Since that thing can even cut through Mobile Armor, there's no point in layering armor. It's better to reduce weight and gain more maneuverability.

"You fucking—!"

Yuhelai gritted his teeth, the gaps in his armor cracked, and the blood vessels inside burst instantly, spreading a silvery ethereal blood mist in the air. "You're clearly a defeated opponent, yet you dare to be so arrogant!"

Bloodthirsty Soul

Yuhelai was enveloped in a storm of silver, carrying highly poisonous blood. His speed increased fivefold, and he instantly appeared before Li Aoz. He concealed his longsword and left wrist at his waist, which were obscured by the blood mist and were completely undetectable.

[Sharpen Teeth]

With a sharpening motion, the blade's sharpness instantly increases, and any air that collides with the blade will be easily cut and cleaved.

After sharpening the sword, he immediately stepped forward and smoothly Iai Slash.

'You absolutely cannot withstand this sword strike!'

Bang----

A tremendous crash resounded, and a heavy force pressed down on the sword, as if a mountain had collapsed upon it. The sword, subjected to immense pressure, trembled uncontrollably, emitting an eerie ringing sound.

Buzzing buzzing buzzing...

It took a full half second for Yuhelai, who was stunned by the sound wave, to realize what it was.

Sonic boom.

Li Aoz simply raised his fist in advance and used the back of his hand to deflect the upward slash. The pure force pierced the air, instantly creating a terrifying sound and a burst of hot white mist.

But before Yuhelai could retaliate, Li Aoz had already begun his performance.

Bang! Without hesitation, Li Aoz punched Yuhelai in the chest. The White Knight staggered, and Li Aoz followed up with a step, a twist of his waist, and a left-handed hook punch that landed squarely on Yuhelai's face.

Crack! His blade-like armor immediately deformed, and most importantly, the blunt force trauma made the White Knight feel like his brain was being churned up. He staggered two steps and was about to regain his balance Li Aoz suddenly raised his foot and kicked him in the abdomen. The swift force sent the White Knight flying five meters away.

Yuhelai opened his mouth, spewing out saliva and gastric juices, and curled up in mid-air.

However, Li Aoz did not intend to let him land smoothly.

Snap!

Li Aoz suddenly stepped forward. While Yuhelai was still in mid-air and about to fall, Li Aoz brought his arms together and his elbows slammed into Yuhelai's chest like a hammer.

"Dismal."

Thump! Yuhelai's body instantly flattened and went limp, about to stiffen and fall to the ground. Just before his head hit the ground, Li Aoz suddenly punched the ground.

[Natural Ignition]

Boom! Blazing flames erupted from the earth, spewing magma that propelled Yuhelai's body high into the air. Li Aoz extended his nerve tendrils from both hands, instantly lashing them out to bind and restrain Yuhelai in mid-air, then pulling both of them towards him.

The reversed gravity allows Li Aoz to levitate in mid-air for extended periods. As a citizen of the Hidden Society, Yuhelai is not controlled by Gravity Aura —but this does not mean he is unaffected by gravity.

As Yuhelai fell, he was instantly pulled back. Just as he raised his head, his face collided with the knee that Li Aoz.

Crack!

The crisp sound of the impact instantly activated the violent genes flowing in human genes, Li Aoz grinned and laughed heartily.

"Crazy!"

Li Aoz used the momentum to reverse gravity, dragging Yuhelai higher into the air. He immediately adjusted his body and threw Yuhelai backwards to face forward.

The reversed gravity caused Li Aoz to fall into the sky, while Yuhelai, who was not affected by gravity, continued to fall towards the ground. Yuhelai reacted immediately, but it was too late to swing his sword. He immediately assumed a flying kick stance, aiming at Li Aoz, who was charging straight at him.

Li Aoz also adopted a flying kick stance.

Bang! Like two meteorites colliding, the feet of the pioneer and the White Knight collided violently under the influence of Gravitational Acceleration. Although it was a 'bottom-up' kick in accordance with gravity, the result was unexpected.
