The two clashed once again. Kaido bared his teeth and laughed wildly. "That's satisfying! So satisfying!"
"Is it?"
Kuta held back Kaido's kanabo and bared his own teeth as well. Staring at Kaido, he said arrogantly, "It is satisfying, but up here in the sky, I'm the true ruler of the heavens."
With that, he put strength into his arm and knocked Kaido's kanabo aside. Then he gripped his sword with both hands, raised it over his shoulder, and slashed down at Kaido with all his might.
"Kid, you're really arrogant. The last guy who called himself the ruler of the heavens—didn't you already kill him?"
"Worororo!!"
Golden Lion was his senior, but that did not stop him from mocking him.
Kaido gripped his kanabo with both hands and swung it upward from below, lightning coiling around it as he smashed it toward Kuta.
"Roaring Thunder Bagua!"
"Azure Dragon!"
Boom—!
The violent clash of metal, accompanied by thunder, rang across heaven and earth once again.
Yet just as Kuta had said, he was the true ruler of the heavens above the sky. Kaido was currently in Human-Beast Form, not his Azure Dragon Form, which could float in the air.
At their level, Kaido could indeed briefly remain airborne by stepping on the air, but he could never move through the sky as freely as Kuta, treating it like solid ground.
Without the strength that came from having the earth beneath his feet, Kaido in midair truly could not match Kuta.
When Kaido had first descended from the sky, the two had been evenly matched. But in the clashes that followed, Kaido had actually been the weaker side.
And now—
After a brief stalemate, Kaido, lacking any follow-up strength, was sent crashing down beneath Kuta's blade like a genuine meteor.
