Everyone watching probably didn't understand what happened, but he, who was right there in the middle of it, knew it best!
From the moment he became emperor, he had mastered the power of the Golden Crow Bloodline within him to an extreme degree. Therefore, after the first burst of power, he could retain that power within his body without any preparation, and the second burst was even stronger than the first.
Previously, Black Queen died because she needed to charge up her second attack, so she risked serious injury to take advantage of the opening and pounce, which is why she died under her own iron fist.
In his view, the Victorious Fighting Buddha should be the same, only he appeared more confident and composed than the Black Queen.
But it seems I was wrong.
Having only witnessed his own power once, his opponent found a way to counter it. The second time he threw a punch, his opponent caught it with his palm, as if a suction force was pulling him away. He instinctively withdrew his power.
He was also a top martial artist, and he could control the power of the Golden Crow at will. The speed at which he could unleash and retract his power far exceeded that of ordinary people. This was one of the methods that enabled him to quickly defeat others. Ordinary people could not retract their power when they unleashed it at full strength, but he could, and he could retract it all at once.
However, the opponent had anticipated this. The moment he withdrew his power, the opponent's power arrived. Moreover, it was not a one-time attack, but rather like waves, layer upon layer, leaving him no time to gather his strength to counterattack and instantly putting him in a passive defensive situation.
However, that surging power constantly disrupted his domineering Golden Crow power. The already uncontrollable power eventually collapsed, running rampant in his meridians, and the explosive power caused his skin and flesh to crack.
If this continues, you'll end up like that arm the other person just used.
what to do?
Chen Qing, seeing this, was also startled. Ao Zhen, who was beside her, saw this and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, but Chen Qing, without hesitation, pressed her hand down.
"My lord?"
Ao Zhen was taken aback. In her view, the emperor's defeat was inevitable, and if they didn't act now, it would likely be a disaster.
"Your power has its drawbacks; you can't make a move now!" Chen Qing whispered.
Ao Zhen taken aback, then suddenly realized what was happening. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that her own power seemed to be resisting her. Yes, how could a successor of the Dao Fruit of the Sword take advantage of others while they were still locked in a stalemate?
Once this thought arises, one's Daoist mind becomes disordered.
"But..." Ao Zhen hesitated for a moment.
"Don't hesitate." Chen Qing looked up and whispered, "Since you've chosen this path, you can't be concerned with these gains and losses. A swordsman must forge ahead without hesitation. If you let victory or defeat disturb your Dao heart, your Dao Fruit will stray from your path."
Chen Qing looked up and, sure enough, the Victorious Fighting Buddha was looking at him with a mocking glint in his eyes.
He was just waiting for Ao Zhen a move.
"He's showing some composure," he murmured, a hint of regret in his voice.
He only heard about the Dao Fruit of the Sword once, but he knew that this Dao Fruit was extremely suitable for him. After coming to the Buddha Kingdom, he also enjoyed the treatment of the Innate Dao Fruit. He obtained the Innate Dao Fruit of Fire, which allows him to control the essence of all fires in heaven and earth. It is one of the four elements!
This is also the most valuable Dao Fruit within the Buddha Kingdom, aside from time, space, and dreams.
However, he is inferior to the Three-Eyed Divine General of Heavenly Court.
The Three-Eyed Divine General is the number one general in the Heavenly Court. The Dao Fruit in his hand is the strongest Dao Fruit of Strength besides that of Elder Long. His strength lies in its infinite variations. Whenever he encounters someone, he can basically cooperate with his Dao Fruit to barely hold his own and remain undefeated. However, he is also very clear about this.
If it were a matter of life and death, I would be no match for the Three-Eyed Divine General!
For so many years, he has been searching for a more suitable Dao Fruit, and this time he is determined to Ao Zhen the Dao Fruit on Ao Zhen's body!
"Just as I thought."
Seeing the regret in the other person's eyes, Chen Qing felt a chill run down his spine. This guy had come for the Dao Fruit on Ao Zhen's body and had just been plotting to Ao Zhen Ao Zhen. If Ao Zhen had forced his way out just now and broken his Dao Heart, the power of the Dao Fruit of the Sword would probably have been greatly reduced.
"My lord, are we just going to stand here and watch?" Ao Zhen couldn't help but ask.
She knew very well that once the emperor lost, the capital would fall, the powerful families below would rebel, and the two of them would have no chance of escape.
If we don't fight now, it's almost certain death!
"My coming to pledge allegiance to His Majesty signifies my absolute trust in him. Don't underestimate the human emperor; even if he's not yet a super data life form, he is still..." Chen Qing looked upwards, where it seemed to be a perfectly optimized being.
Sure enough, the next instant, a cold voice rang out.
"You seem quite relaxed."
A powerful force erupted once more. Even the Victorious Fighting Buddha hadn't expected that the emperor, whose meridians were on the verge of collapse, could actually recover.
And it can unleash that domineering power once again!
The Victorious Fighting Buddha frowned, immediately withdrew his power, and with a twist of his arm, he unleashed an extremely gentle force-dissipating technique. His body instantly became as light as a willow catkin, and under that terrifying force, he actually floated backward!
It felt to the emperor as if he had been struck by a floating feather.
This made him feel powerless for the first time.
"What exquisite technique!" The emperor couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes filled with utmost seriousness.
This time, he sensed a life-or-death crisis!
When the opponent's attention was diverted and he was caught off guard, he was still able to subconsciously use such a subtle force-dissipating technique. As a top martial artist, he knew very well that cooperative techniques were actually several times more difficult than explosive techniques. You had to accurately calculate the level of the opponent's explosive power and the way they attacked in order to effectively dissipate that force with less power than the opponent. Whether it was the wrong technique or the underestimation of the force, it would come at a huge cost.
But the opponent, having only fought him once, accurately estimated his techniques and strength. This must be the result of countless battles, where fighting has become an instinct. Only then could he achieve this.
Such an opponent truly lives up to his title of Victorious Fighting Buddha!
"Not bad, not bad." The Victorious Fighting Buddha, who had been thrown a hundred feet away, shook his hand. The attack had been too sudden, and although he had reacted in time, his arm had still been dislocated.
What surprised him even more was that the other side was actually able to withstand this wave.
"How did you do that?" the Victorious Fighting Buddha asked the emperor curiously.
"Slowly get used to the frequency of your surging energy, and then use that power to calm your meridians," the emperor said calmly.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the Victorious Fighting Buddha immediately laughed and asked, "How old are you this year?"
The emperor glanced at the other person and replied, "I am fifty-two!"
"So young?" The Victorious Fighting Buddha closed his eyes. "What a pity. Your talent is probably the strongest I've ever encountered. If you weren't a native, you would be qualified to become one of the Venerable in this heaven."
"Natives?" the emperor sneered. "If not for their inherent weaknesses, how could you have trampled upon this world for so many years?"
"There's nothing we can do about it." The other person shrugged. "That's just how the world is, including yourselves. There's no such thing as fairness, is there? Some people are born like cattle, some are born like nobles. It's just that this time you've encountered someone stronger than nobles. It's the law of the jungle. If you can exploit those below you, why can't we exploit them?"
"I refuse to accept this!" The emperor took a deep breath, and his already severely injured meridians began to boil again.
Although I forcibly calmed my strength just now, my meridians were already severely damaged, and I am now at my last gasp.
But for some reason, his momentum was not diminished at all; on the contrary, it was even stronger than before!
"While there may be no true fairness in the universe, that doesn't mean those who are born weak should accept their fate. I myself have climbed to this point from an unfair environment, and I will not accept my fate, nor will my human race!"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if the heavens and earth resonated with him, and the entire capital city suddenly trembled, as if a sealed will was about to be awakened.
The Victorious Fighting Buddha was startled. High in the sky, he could see clearly that this was not an illusion caused by the emperor's aura, but rather that heaven and earth were truly resonating with him.
Almost everything around it seemed to be working in harmony with this guy.
This guy... wasn't he supposed to be a warlock according to the intelligence?
And what's going on below?
Looking down from above, one can clearly see that something seems to be bulging up on the ground in the entire capital city, and faintly, one can hear the roar of a dragon!
