Chapter 474 - Guan Yu VS Zhang Tong - Part 2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Guan Yu forgot that this was no longer a fair fight between mortals. This was how a battle between a demon and an angel, and they could use supernatural abilities!
Guan Yu attempted to move, but he felt as if his physical body was restricted or bound by invisible chains.
As he was struggling to move, Tong, who did not care if Guan Yu could defend himself or retaliate, swung his halberd again.
This time, the impact that hit Guan Yu's flesh was stronger than the last time since Tong did not have to strike while moving. The halberd blade managed to cut half a centimeter into his flesh.
'Damn you, Zhang Tong!'
Guan Yu circulated his angelic power and all lifespan forces to break the shackle of the Time Stop skill. His body moved a bit, and he could feel the strength in his arms.
Tong did not wait for Guan Yu to react inside his grey-scale world. After he had pulled his halberd our of Guan Yu's flesh, he circulated more of his power into the next strike.
The halberd was swung down while Guan Yu could not regain his movement.
The polearm blade hit the same spot, which dug into Guan Yu's flesh and hit the cervical spinal, his neck bone. The weapon cut through a nerve line inside his flesh, disabling Guan Yu's nervous system below his neck.
Sensing the pain and the danger, Guan Yu decided to risk everything.
At the moment, he had an 80% chance of breaking through and awaken his 7th virtuous soul, even though his physical foundation was not 100% ready.
Since all of his 6-wing power could not free himself from this mysterious shackle, he forcefully awakened the 7th soul, so he could break free from this skill.
Before Tong could pull his halberd and hacked Guan Yu's neck for the 4th time, Guan Yu's body shone in bright light as he awakened the 7th soul during combat.
The moment Guan Yu's new soul emerged, he regained control of his body. Moreover, he recovered from neck injuries.
Even though Guan Yu suddenly awakened his 7th wing, Tong rushed his power circulation and aura enhancement to swing his halberd down for the 4th time.
But Guan Yu also swung his glaive, aiming at Tong's side ribcage. The force of a newly awakened 7-wing angel threatened Tong's defensive aura.
"Tsk!"
It became a chicken race, competing who would retreat first. Had they not retreated, they would be hacked by the opponent's reinforced weapon.
Tong had a disadvantage in the overall raw power since he was still an immortal at the 6th tier, but Guan Yu had already reached the 7th level.
The demon canceled his halberd swing and kicked the ground.
He retreated first!
Guan Yu's glaive missed, but he regained everything back, his movement, his speed, and the momentum.
Tong's system skill only worked with someone in the same tier of power or lower. Against a stronger opponent, it was no longer useful!
Since it did not work against Guan Yu anymore, Tong canceled the skill effect to relieve his mental burden.
The world regained its color, and all spectators could move again.
.
.
Only one second passed so far, but many things had happened in the fight.
Lu Bu felt like he experienced a déjà vu as he had been in Guan Yu's shoes, getting stuck in this time stop world, unable to retaliate against Khan.
However, Guan Yu did better than what he did against Khan. Lu Bu never thought of this method in that fight. Or else, Khan would have been dead by his hands that day.
Still, the brief contact between the duelists gave Lu Bu another inspiration.
'I know how to counter that annoying ability now!'
.
.
'Once a god, forever a god, even if it's only his shadow.'
Diaochan gritted his teeth in nervousness as she hid a vital intelligence from Tong and everyone else.
In the Heaven Realm of the other world, the real Guan Yu's soul resided there as one of the gods.
His real strength was a 10-wing god, the same tier as Lilim!
Even though this world's Guan Yu was just an incompleted copy of God Guan Yu, a memory fragment of an incomplete universe, he inherited the talent and a noble heart, which made him stronger than everybody else in this world.
Unlike Lu Bu, who had just repented of his sins, Guan Yu hardly sinned the other world. As such, the virtuous cultivation road was so compatible with him to the point that he almost had no bottleneck.
The only good news that Diaochan could give Tong right now was, had the real God Guan Yu reincarnated here with his real soul, not the incompleted memory fragment soul, he would have regained his 10-wing power years ago.
In other words, Tong was fighting a weaker version of this god.
Still, Guan Yu was a god's shadow. His potential was not something that could be looked down upon.
'It's risky, but if you can overcome this ordeal, you can reach my realm, Tong. 8 and 9 Wings are the real immortal. 10 and 11 is the god tier, and anything higher is the pinnacle of all entities. Everything else is non-entity!'
.
.
Guan Yu did not follow up using the momentum to finish his opponent off as his body could not handle the increased surge of power. He had to solidify his foundation and calm the tidal wave of forces inside his body and souls.
As Guan Yu had not trained his body intensively like Tong, this awakening was premature, which damaged his foundation and constitution in the long run.
Tong paced his breathing as he regained his stance. He observed Guan Yu's circulating aura and found that his opponent was not in the top shape.
Even if Guan Yu had 7 souls at the moment, he could only utilize 6 and a half.
Moreover, the strength gap was not too large. Had Guan Yu possessed another wing to become a pair, then he could call himself an arch-angel. For now, he barely stepped into that realm.
'He's internally injured because of the breakthrough. He dug his own grave.'
Not showing mercy toward his weakened opponent, Tong activated his Square Accel and rushed at Guan Yu again.
*CLANK!*
Tong's halberd met with Guan Yu's glaive, which the latter countered with a strike of his own.
The gap in strength showed on Tong's weapon. His halberd cracked.
Still, Tong did not give up. He added more tricks into his footwork.
Lamia Step!
His body left another afterimage as he slithered behind Guan Yu.
*SWUA!*
Tong's halberd grazed through Guan Yu's back armor and left a trail of open wound behind his back.
Unfortunately, it was shallow. Guan Yu's natural aura protected him from the deathblow, which forced Tong's weapon to slip off, missing the vital organs.
Tong repositioned his weapon to follow up, but Guan Yu turned around with a horizontal slash.
*BOOM*
The dragon glaive hit Tong's halberd shaft, which Tong raised to block the strike.
The attack sent Tong flying like a ragdoll and shattered his weapon.
Tong allowed his body to fly backward by the impact, so he could recover his momentum in midflight.
But Guan Yu spread his wings and chased after Tong.
.
Since the battle shifted from the ground battle to into a dog fight in mid-air, all spectators also spread their wings and took flight. All generals, angels, and demonesses went after the duelists, but they forgot one person.
Cao Cao watched his cousins and everybody else flying away with a poker face expression.
"…"
Nobody could tell what he was thinking. In reality, he was crying internally.
'I wish I could to fly, too.'
Only immortals with at least 4 wings could fly. Cao Cao had not reached the tier yet.
.
Above Ji City, Tong kept flying backward, dodging Guan Yu's attacks.
Guan Yu did not care that Tong was weaponless at this time. Normally, he would have stopped attacking since his opponent was unarmed. However, this was a fight between an immortal, and Tong had used a weird ability to shackle his movements.
It was karma. Since Tong played dirty, Guan Yu would not play fair.
All is fair in war!
"Really? I don't have a weapon, you know?" Tong complained as he dodged another swing from Guan Yu's glaive.
"Then, admit defeat! You have lost!"
"Too bad, you'll have to get your victory over my dead body."
"You're dead, then!"
Guan Yu changed his approach. Instead of focusing on each attack to deal a death blow, he increased his speed.
Previously, he struck at a speed of 10 strikes per second. Now, it became 20.
The super-speed attack and dodging exchange kept on going as Tong tried to flee from Guan Yu while he was looking for a new weapon.
*SWUA*
*SWUA*
*SWUA*
Guan Yu's glaive was faster than Tong's reaction. Fresh wounds began to appear on his body, but none of them was fatal.
Then, a change occurred.
As Guan Yu was in the middle of finishing off Tong, he sensed a flying object coming in his direction.
Being cautious that he was fighting the emperor in their home territory, Guan Yu stopped attacking and dodged the incoming object.
*WHOOSH*
The mysterious object missed Guan Yu and went after Tong.
*PA*
Instead of dodging the object, Tong caught it as he saw the culprit who threw this thing at them.
It was Lu Bu.
And the object in Tong's hand was a steel crescent halberd, Lu Bu's personal weapon!
Lu Bu winked at Tong as he typed in the clan chat.
Lu Bu: "You owe me a duel, or you can spar with me without using that stupid time stopping skill."
Tong had a wry smile on his face. Now, Tong had cheated the duel for the second time. Moreover, he owed Lu Bu a favor, and it would be torturous to pay him back.
"Oh well. Sorry, Guan Yuncheng. This is my home game, after all."
