Chapter 1461 - 1156: Unaware of Good Fortune_2

As the energy sword shattered over and over, the greatsword in Long Yi’s hands emitted an ever-increasing glow!

At this moment, in the stands, the Emperor encased in golden armor was staring intently at Long Yi. His eyes glowed red; without a doubt, he was the Divine Worm. In the power struggle among The Forgotten Ones, he emerged victorious, expelling those so-called Prophets. After all, the Family of The Forgotten Ones had been controlled by the Prophets for too long, and the populace had grown weary of their tyranny, so luck was on his side. However, completely defeating the Prophets was difficult. The Divine Worm controlling the Prophets had initially stolen the Giants’ technology. It was their existence that allowed for constant improvements to the Energy Alloy, and now, with the Prophets expelled, the internal scientists of The Forgotten Ones made slow progress in advancing the Energy Alloy. If, in the future, the Prophets made new advancements in their energy alloy, he feared he would be immediately overthrown.

That’s precisely why it, having gained control over the Emperor, decided to wage war. Taking advantage of the situation by conquering the entire upper Plane through war, then seeking the Giants’ relics, all the while accumulating some of the advanced scientists from this Plane to work on a new type of Energy Alloy for itself. All this was to defeat its own kind, to become the sole deity.

But now, a potential shortcut seemed to have appeared. He had long noticed this individual named Henki; reports indicated that La Sang’s Family valued highly both Henki and his improved Energy Alloy. The Emperor didn’t know how he had improved it, but he did know that if the venerable La Sang’s Family valued it, the improved Energy Alloy must be exceptional indeed.

Indeed, the facts seemed to confirm it. The ability to instantly crush the energy sword, along with the capacity to shatter ordinary Energy Alloy armor, would certainly grant him a tremendous advantage in the upcoming war against his own kind!

"So now, show me all you’ve got with your alloy, and if you truly prove your worth, I will bestow upon you enough glory to become my slave! Hahahaha!"

At this time, Gu Fei and Gu Bo, the twin brothers, were filled with anxiety. They had assumed that entering synchronous mode would unquestionably secure an overwhelming advantage through their seamless cooperation, yet this Henki, dual-wielding, maintained the upper hand!

"What do we do!?"

Gu Bo asked Gu Fei in their shared consciousness.

"Resort to our ultimate move!"

Gu Fei said through gritted teeth.

"Now? We’ve already revealed synchronous mode, do we need to show them our second ultimate move too?"

Gu Bo was reluctant.

"Or would you rather lose?"

Lose?

No one wanted to lose.

Especially not in front of the Emperor!

"Dual-wield!"

Hum hum!

The two brothers also manifested dual-wielding simultaneously!

"Oh, this is getting interesting," remarked the Emperor.

"Yes, I didn’t expect them to have this up their sleeves," added the Group Leader.

As a dual-wielding warrior, the Group Leader had a particular fondness for others who used dual weapons – after all, dual wielding implied a relentless fighting style and demanded even more strenuous training for increased power.

Three dual-wielding warriors fighting together made for an impressive sight. Two Alloy Greatswords and four energy swords flew through the air, sparks flying whenever an energy sword was smashed by an Alloy Greatsword. Meanwhile, the glow of the Alloy Greatsword in Long Yi’s hand grew brighter and brighter!

However, Henki was also covered in wounds, yet he had successfully dodged every potentially fatal blow.

Gradually, the Alloy Greatsword became so bright it was impossible to ignore, and the blade emitted a deep Resonance!

At this moment, nearly everyone was curious and even eager to see what use these two bright Greatswords had. Gu Fei and Gu Bo felt even more anxious; Henki’s resilience far surpassed their expectations. They thought that using dual-wielding in synchronous mode would quickly eliminate their opponent, but he had stubbornly dodged all vital attacks.

And now, the glowing and resonating Alloy Greatswords became the brothers’ greatest concern.

Those swords couldn’t possibly be glowing for no reason.

Just then, Long Yi suddenly raised one of the radiant greatswords with one hand. Almost everyone thought he was about to unleash an immensely powerful attack, and Gu Fei and Gu Bo immediately went on the defensive. Yet, the glow of the sword quickly faded, and the wounds on Long Yi’s armor healed rapidly; in the blink of an eye, the armor was not only restored to its original state but also seemed to brim with unprecedented energy!

"This..." Everyone was dumbstruck; it was a healing tool?

But in the next moment, Long Yi dropped one greatsword and gripped the still-glowing one with both hands.

"Doppelganger Slash!"

Two identical Henki charged at the Gu brothers.

But halfway there, the two Henkis bellowed again.

"Instant Slash!"

Bang!

The two Henkis vanished simultaneously!

"Futile hopes!"

The two brothers surged forward in a sprint, convinced they wouldn’t be fooled again by the Instant Slash, a move Henki had used before.

The two Henkis reappeared behind the brothers, still maintaining their sword-swinging stance, as if Henki had known all along that they would dash forward in an attempt to dodge.
