Chapter 218: Betrayal
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Imperial City District of the Flame Clan Ruin.
On Lu Ming and Li De’s battlefield, dust and sand flew everywhere.
The clash of the two fifty-meter-tall giants caused the nearby buildings to collapse and the ground to crack.
Despite their enormous size, both of them moved unbelievably fast, agile as cats.
Moreover, it seemed that both of them had intentionally minimized the flashy exchanges and were now competing purely in terms of strength, speed, defense, and close combat skills!
When it came to unarmed combat, Lu Ming was undoubtedly a master.
Unarmed Combat Lvioo.
Without exaggeration, this level, on Earth in the past, was something that only someone like Lu Ming with a system could achieve.
However, Li De’s unarmed combat skills were not weak either.
At least in terms of pure technique, he was not inferior to Lu Ming in the slightest!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Simple, nimble, yet extremely lethal punches and kicks were delivered successively by both of them.
On the relatively narrow street, the two giants swiftly exchanged blows. In a short moment, they had exchanged hundreds, if not thousands, of punches and kicks!
Until there was a loud “thud”.
Lu Ming retreated five steps, while Li De retreated three steps. The brief but intense clash had come to an end.
It was obvious at a glance who was stronger and who was weaker!
Li De’s malicious grin remained, and the radiance of the Spirit-Light Bodyguard Technique on his body had only dimmed slightly.
Lu Ming, on the other hand, had his bone armor shattered, and beneath the armor, his skin showed signs of swelling.
Even Lu Ming’s movements were noticeably slower.
In terms of punches and kicks alone, Lu Ming was not a match..
The main difference was that Lu Ming’s Source Power Armor and Explosive Fist were both of a much lower level. They were only Source Power Skills at the Mortal Realm. Even if they were cultivated to the Microscopic-level, they were still inadequate to handle a battle at the Spirit Realm level.
“Oh no!”
This thought suddenly arose in Roxin’s heart.
Li De’s strength exceeded Roxin’s imagination.
Although on the surface, Li De was only at the Spirit Realm Level Eight, his true combat performance was even stronger than most Level Nine Spirit Realm experts!
Looking at Lu Ming, who was covered in wounds, Roxin frowned.
“Mr. Lu, you must have a trump card, right? Yes, that must be the case.”
In Roxin’s impression, Lu Ming was a strange person who liked to act weak but was actually very strong. It was strange that such a person did not have more trump cards.
In the distance, at the Royal Shrine.
A Spirit Realm expert of the Divine Dao Alliance activated his ability and condensed a light screen in front of everyone. On the light screen was the battle scene between Lu Ming and Li De.
When they saw the two momentarily separate, the members of the Divine Dao Alliance breathed a sigh of relief.
“The Alliance Leader’s strength is unquestionable.”
One of them said and then looked at the pale-faced Roda and the others.
“Look, even Roda has been shocked by the Alliance Leader’s power.”
Roda was indeed shocked by Li De’s strength.
Roda was only at the sixth level of the Spirit Realm and his strength was not weak within the Hundred Thousand Mountains region.
However, this previously unheard-of Li De not only displayed Spirit Realm Level Eight power but also had a very reasonable combat style, and his Source Power Technique levels were quite high!
Roda really could not deal with Li De who had such strength.
Even if he and Uncle Lu joined forces, they would not be able to deal with him!
The worry in his heart even made Roda forget why Lu Ming was so powerful until someone outside shouted.
“Capture them!”
As soon as the voice fell, a surge of energy erupted around Roda.
Sword, saber, and fist.
Three different attacks came from three directions, and it was Uncle Lu who pushed Roda out of the attack range that he was able to escape.
However, as a result, Uncle Lu was struck by a punch and spat out blood as he fell to the side.
This scene made Roda curse.
“You f*cking…”
These three attackers were the three people in Roda’s team—one of them was Apelo.
The person who had severely injured Uncle Lu was the second Level 5 Spirit Realm expert in their team other than Uncle Lu. He looked at Roda and said slowly as he assumed a defensive posture.
“Everyone is here to seek wealth. The Divine Dao Alliance is offering more, so why should we stick with you?”
He, Apelo, and the other person chuckled, but they were not prepared to continue attacking.
Apelo looked at the others in the team and said with a smile, “Now that the outcome has been decided, that mysterious expert whose identity is unknown can’t defeat the Alliance leader, Li De. Guys, there’s really no need for us to stick to Roda. Instead, let’s work together and capture Roda; it’s our ticket to join the Divine Dao Alliance.”
The eyes of the other team members flickered.
This suggestion did make sense.
This made Roda slowly come to Uncle Lu’s side. As he took out the healing medicine, he kept a vigilant eye on everyone present.
He did not expect such a huge problem to happen to his team right under his nose.
He had to admit that regardless of strength or methods, Li De surpassed him in many ways!
Roda quietly turned back to look at Lu Ming on the screen and gritted his teeth.
“Lu Ming… If you lose, I’m finished too.”
“So, please.”
Both Roxin and Roda had placed their hopes on Lu Ming.
So, here’s the question… Does Lu Ming have any cards left?
He has plenty!
His greatest trump card was 45 Divine Source Points.
Even without using too many, adding one or two points to his attributes would be enough for Lu Ming to crush Li De into dust.
He might not even need Divine Source Points.
Lu Ming estimated that Li De would probably not be able to guard against an intermediate Void Realm.
If Lu Ming were to drag Li De into the Void Realm, when he came out, he would most likely be insane, and dealing with him would be much easier.
And yet…
Lu Ming did not want to use either of these cards!
The moment he separated from Li De, Lu Ming suddenly fell silent.
His body was extremely sore and numb.
Lu Ming felt as if he could not exert any strength in his entire body!
This feeling was terrible and Lu Ming felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, strangely, Lu Ming faintly sensed a different feeling emerging within his body.
It was a kind of activity at the cellular level.
It was like a spring compressed by an external force, ready to rebound!
A trace of enlightenment suddenly appeared in Lu Ming’s mind.
“It’s the Self-Limitation of the Body.”
“Yes, it’s the Self-Limitation of the Body.”
The Self-Limitation of the Body was Lu Ming’s first superpower.
This ability was the ultimate development and use of his physical body!
With the assistance of the Self-Limitation of the Body, Lu Ming could easily mobilize every ounce of strength in his body.
However, at this moment, Li De’s Spirit Communication Force was greatly suppressing Lu Ming’s strength.
At this moment, Lu Ming was indeed like a compressed spring.
The Spirit Communication Force was relentlessly weakening Lu Ming’s strength.
But Lu Ming’s own will told the Self-Limitation of the Body that he needed even greater strength to deal with Li De.
Both sides continued to confront each other, combined with Li De’s punches…
It was like impure steel being squeezed and tempered!
A change was occurring!
Realizing this, Lu Ming suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked at Li De and smiled.
“Shall we continue?”
Reed was momentarily stunned, then he smiled sinisterly, “You have a good mentality… But, smile? Alright! I’ll make sure you can’t smile soon!”
