Chapter 588: Chapter 475: Going Alone_3
“Protect others?”
“Remember, Little Ba, strength isn’t meant to bully others but to protect them.
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.”
“…”
“What?”
“Master, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.”
“…In time, when you reach Shining Star and begin your journey, you will understand!”
“But I’m only at the silver level now, Master. Maybe you can tell me again then? I’m afraid I’ll forget…”
“…Get out!”
…
Various flashes of light and shadow swept through his mind in an instant.
The principles his master taught him, Li Ba had long understood them.
“Thank you, Master. If it weren’t for your reminders, I wouldn’t even have the strength to want to do anything right now.”
Li Ba took a deep breath. Closing and opening his eyes, he became as calm as a lake.
Suddenly, Li Ba’s eyes widened. A surge of purple energy rose from his body, making his short black hair stand on end!
“What’s happening to him?!” Lawrence’s eyes widened.
Li Ba’s eyes shone brightly as he roared, “Please help me annihilate him… Qilin!”
“Roar!”
The rising purple energy transformed into the shadow of a Qilin, which then plunged directly into Li Ba’s body!
In an instant, five-colored streams of energy—blue, white, red, black, and purple—burst into flames from Li Ba’s body. His robust physique turned black and red at a speed visible to the naked eye!
What was burning was not anything else but his life force!
At this moment, golden sand began to swell within Lawrence’s left eye, soon overflowing his pupil!
Libra represented “balance.”
The Divine Balance could measure the strength of both allies and enemies, tilting towards one’s favor.
Yet now, the golden sand in his left pupil flowed continuously into his right, without reducing the amount in the left at all.
“How is this possible?! How could this power surpass the limit of the Divine Balance?!”
While Lawrence was in shock, the five-colored energy streams twisted; Li Ba had already vanished from sight.
Lawrence’s face changed. Before he could react, a large hand grabbed his face.
“No way!…”
Dust billowed up as Li Ba threw Lawrence to the ground and dragged him forward, carving a crack over ten meters long into the earth!
“Damn it!!”
Lawrence was terrified and furious but couldn’t break free from the immense power of Li Ba’s grip. Rage and humiliation filled his heart.
The next moment, Li Ba released him, throwing him high into the air.
A strong sense of doom surged within Lawrence. He could only spread his Star Power across his body for defense.
Surrounded by five-colored streams, Li Ba charged up with speed too fast to follow with the naked eye.
“Boom boom boom!…”
Fist power exploded. Lawrence, tossed around like a sandbag in midair, had no power to fight back against the overwhelming force!
With a loud “Boom,” Li Ba kicked Lawrence into the sky.
Lawrence’s face was unrecognizable, his eyes filled with terror and madness!
“If you can’t kill me! I will surely kill you!”
Li Ba raised his right hand, gathering the intensely burning five-colored flames in his palm.
As the flames gathered, Li Ba’s body visibly thinned, his skin turning charred black and cracked!
He took a deep breath, his eyes shining with extreme brilliance. The determination and resolution within them shook Lawrence’s heart.
“I walk alone on this path to death!”
Li Ba suddenly clenched his fist. Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Qilin—five shadows appeared behind him, twisting before merging into his fist.
Such a powerful strike even woke up the heavily injured Chen Chunhua!
“Star Lord Li?!…”
Severely wounded and pinned by the Holy Nail, Chen Chunhua could only look up to the sky.
“Kill!!!”
The shout shook the heavens. Li Ba surged upward in a flash of five-colored light, crashing into Lawrence!
“Boom!”
The next moment, five-colored flames filled the sky. In Lawrence’s stunned gaze, Li Ba had already pierced through him!
“Cough…” Lawrence’s pupils trembled, coughing up blood, the golden sand in his eyes still flowing.
But his entire body, from the chest down, had completely disappeared.
One blow, an explosion!
“What… is this power?”
“I… lost?… Lost.”
Lawrence’s face was blank, the golden sand in his pupils slowly solidifying, scattering like golden Star Light in midair…
Libra, dead!
Lawrence’s power dissipated, and the Holy Nail on Chen Chunhua weakened quickly.
Chen Chunhua struggled to stand, looking upwards in disbelief.
“We… won?!”
Lawrence’s half-body fell slowly, his eyes lifeless.
No doubt, he was dead beyond redemption.
“Star Lord Li, who knew he had such a terrifying move… Huh?!”
In his amazement, Chen Chunhua’s eyes suddenly contracted.
High above, the five-colored flames burning on Li Ba’s body began to fade from his feet, with charred flesh falling off.
It was nothing but necrotic tissue!
“Star Lord Li?!”
Chen Chunhua’s pupils dilated as Li Ba’s body turned to charcoal bit by bit.
“Damn it!”
Ignoring his own wounds, Chen Chunhua flew towards Li Ba with all his strength.
Perceiving this, Li Ba looked down at Chen Chunhua, somewhat dazed.
“Last time, I couldn’t save Duanmu…
But this time…”
Suddenly, Li Ba smiled foolishly.
“I did it, Master.”
“Star Lord Li!” Within moments, Chen Chunhua reached Li Ba, panic in his eyes.
But at this moment, Li Ba had turned into numerous charred ashes, scattering in the wind…
