Chapter 508: Death Duel: The Breaking Point

Bang!

As Yenir’s words faded, the token that had struck Lu Haishan’s cheek tinkled as it hit the floor.

In an instant, the entire arena fell into a deathly silence.

Even Lu Haishan, humiliated in front of everyone, was momentarily stunned—he never expected Yenir to challenge him to a death duel!

The very next second, his fury turned into a bitter laugh.

Never having suffered such disgrace, Lu Haishan trembled with rage as he shouted at Yenir:

“You little scum! If you’ve got the guts, say it again!”

Boom!!

The suppressed Spirit Energy burst forth once more; after being so humiliated by Yenir, even in front of top brass, he refused to hold back any longer!

You’ve crossed the line! You’ve crossed the line!!

If earlier it was Lu Tianming’s matter that made him want to kill this little scum, now—with this humiliation—if he doesn’t kill him, how can he establish himself in China?

Say it again!?

How the hell can you be so despicable? Is your hearing failing you with age?

Fuck you, old dog.

Death duel or not? I could take on ten of you by myself!

Braving Lu Haishan’s overwhelming presence, Yenir roared his defiance with unbridled arrogance.

Screw all the scheming; he’d had enough of being pushed around!

After the little ones, the big shots show up—and if nothing goes wrong, there will be more! He had decided that until he wiped out this bunch of trash, he’d rather play the mascot!

Dream on if you think you’ll be part of national decisions or plans!

These people will drain your blood, snatch your glory, and then call it ‘for the greater good’!

You’re wrong! Every bit of you is wrong!

After too long a time of peace, neither the Huaxia Battle Zone nor the Military is like the old days—when survival was carved out of blood and tears!

No matter how much Yenir warns them, no one takes the impending disaster seriously. With infighting and internal strife, this isn’t an apocalypse against monsters—it’s humans slaughtering one another!

Instead of all this…!!

There’s only one option: kill! Just mow them down! Only the toughest, bloodiest measures can forge rebirth through fire!

“Fine!! You little scum! If you want to die, I’ll make it so!!”

Equally enraged and burning with the will to kill, Lu Haishan, disregarding any consequences, unleashed a massive blade energy slash right before Li Xuanguo’s eyes.

At the same time, as everyone looked on in disbelief, Yenir sneered coldly, ready to wipe out a group of Third-Stage fighters!

Dimensional Surge was no longer available! His Spirit Energy reserves had been completely drained, and the Sword God System was still cooling down!

But! With his final Sword Storm and Mind Shock left, fighting for his life might just trigger Divine Rage!

If even the Otherworldly Ghost Monarch couldn’t stand up to Divine Rage, then he doubted this old man could either!

He was itching to see who would still dare to demand an apology after he took down a Peak Third-Stage in a single blow!

What does invincible mean? What’s genius? Yenir himself is all that!!

Stop!!

Yenir! Cut the crap!!

Boom!!

Coming to his senses, among the high-ranking officials startled by Yenir, it was Chu Long who struck first.

The stoic super-strongman, looking at Yenir in utter disbelief, countered Lu Haishan’s blade energy slash with his bare hands.

Everybody, stop now!

Fang Hao! Zhao Hongtu! What the hell are you waiting for?!

He barked out orders.

A burst of red light erupted as Chu Long, the indisputable powerhouse, absorbed Lu Haishan’s full-force strike and, with a grim expression, raised a wind barrier.

In an instant, the wind barrier—originally a straight line—curved into a perfect semicircle under his precise control, trapping Lu Haishan and the others.

With neither side able to harm the other, he had no choice but to separate Lu Haishan from Yenir!

Bang!!!

Slash after slash flew out as an utterly enraged Lu Haishan ignored all pleas.

His face wild with fury, he charged at the wind barrier as if his life depended on it.

Even if he risked being hurt by accident, he was determined to kill that little scum!

Especially since, in his eyes, Yenir showed no hint of fear—appearing as if he too wanted to take him down in a single strike—and recklessly emerged from behind Zhao Hongtu.

In a flash, both sides became like unhinged maniacs, desperately trying to bypass the ‘protection’ to finish the other off!

Where does he get the nerve? Where does he get that confidence?

Seeing that Yenir actually dared to charge forward, an already furious Lu Haishan grew even more enraged!

There’s a road to heaven, but you won’t take it! And if hell has no door, you’re here anyway!!

Godslaying Slash!!

Die!!!

S-Level Skill activated! Lu Haishan unleashed his trump card—the one move he only resorts to in desperate times.

With a twisted grimace, he barreled through the right side of the wind barrier, fighting through wounds sliced by cutting wind blades, determined to land that strike!

But in the next moment, a burst of multicolored light exploded from between them.

Everyone, stop!!

His voice thundered as, with the two nearly unstoppable, Chu Long hurled a cyan scroll radiating epic light.

Buzz!!

Accompanied by a high-frequency hum of Spirit Energy, just as Yenir—the Third-Stage fighter trailing Lu Haishan—was about to take him out, he suddenly felt a powerful isolating force pin him in place.

At the same time, Lu Haishan, who had just unleashed his strongest strike, slammed into the multicolored shield. With a muffled groan and a gasp, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. The force that had restrained him caused a severe backlash.

They were completely separated and subdued.

After deploying a precious epic-level artifact, Chu Long’s face turned ashen. Glowering at Yenir, he sharply reprimanded them.

This is the Capital! Not a battlefield for your skirmishes!!

If you want to die, do it in a national war! What’s the point of risking your life here!!

Seething with anger, even Chu Long, who was supposed to handle the matter, couldn’t stop scolding both sides.

In his eyes, Yenir’s extreme nature—going berserk—was one thing!

But Lu Haishan, once a high-ranking military officer, acting like this…

If word gets out, people will think China is on the verge of splitting apart!

Everything happened too fast.

Once both sides were completely under control, Li Xuanguo, who hadn’t had a chance to speak, couldn’t help but murmur a low reprimand to Yenir:

“Enough, Yenir!”

“Stop causing a ruckus!”

His words carried urgency and sincere concern.

A death duel between a Third-Stage Mid-Level and a Peak fighter? No matter how bizarre Yenir’s actions had been, there was simply no chance of survival!

Even though Li Xuanguo thought he’d figured out Yenir’s temperament, he never expected him to be this hot-headed!

In that moment, his original views on Yenir began to change.

They need geniuses—people who can shatter the old systems!

But only if they aren’t lunatics! Not if they’re just reckless death wishes!

Yet, in response to Li Xuanguo’s low reprimand, Yenir—trapped within the multicolored shield—instantaneously regained his composure, calmly glancing at the shield above him.

He knew that after Chu Long unleashed that artifact, his chance to strike Lu Haishan amid the chaos was nearly zero.

But he wasn’t ready to give up.

“Ruckus?”

With a light laugh, under the bewildered stares of everyone, Yenir appeared unnervingly calm—as if his earlier tirade against Lu Haishan had been nothing but an illusion.

I said it’s a death duel!

I don’t give a damn about rules! And you all can forget about my fate! I only ask one thing!

Whoosh!

He turned, and the Elemental Blade in his hand suddenly erupted in towering flames, encircling Yenir like a raging inferno within the confines of the shield.

Glancing at the equally trapped Lu Haishan, he sneered and repeated his words.

“It’s a death duel between you and me! Dare to accept?”

“Don’t fake anger and skip the death duel—stop your hypocritical outbursts!”

“If you’re not afraid of death, then take it! Proclaim it to China!”
