Chapter 801 Illusionist

"The King!"

"The King!"

The arena spectators cheered. Although they couldn't understand the intricacies of the game, they could tell who had the upper hand based on the current situation.

Everyone's here to watch the duel, so naturally they'll support whoever has the upper hand.

Of course, thanks to his power, the War King still has a group of staunch supporters.

"Go, War King!"

"Fight back!"

"Defeat him..."

……

A jumble of chaotic sounds arose, making it impossible to distinguish reality from illusion.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Lu Yunhe stood still, waving continuously in the direction of the voices supporting him, instantly causing waves of excitement.

As for the War King on the other side, he also stood up from the collapsed ground, staring intently at Lu Yunhe, completely ignoring the onlookers.

"Are you really at the Iron level? I don't believe it."

The War King couldn't believe that the battle he had just witnessed was something only a Black Iron-level fighter could have accomplished.

It's probably some old-school Gold-level expert pretending to be young, coming to tease him. As for the Legendary level, even the War King wouldn't dare to dream of it; that's an existence that could easily destroy the entire Blackwater City by itself.

"If you don't believe me, that's your problem. Our battle isn't over yet."

Lu Yunhe stopped waving and turned his gaze back to the War King.

"Do you take me for a fool?" The War King asked incredulously, but he showed no sign of backing down.

This battle might also be an opportunity for him.

He's been stuck at Silver rank for many years and has absolutely no idea where to go next.

If you can defeat your opponent, you might be able to build a ladder to the Gold rank for yourself.

Thinking of this, the War King's heart also burned with passion, and his fighting spirit continued to gather.

For professionals who have reached the Card Realm, the War King is currently in a state of mind where "if I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

In order to break through, they are willing to take risks, even if it means offending people they can't afford to mess with.

"war!"

The War King roared, and all his blood and qi condensed into a solid form, transforming into a blood-red armor that enveloped his body.

Each strand of qi and blood is like a line, connected and flowing with each other, like an array, constructing an unparalleled suit of armor.

Just looking at these patterns of qi and blood circulation is enough to make anyone below the silver level feel dizzy; it is a high-quality secret technique of the silver level.

In an instant, the War King's aura surged once more, and his strength and defense also increased significantly.

Wearing the Qi and Blood Armor, even those below the Silver level cannot break through its defenses.

Although he didn't know the enemy's true situation, the War King clearly intended to go all out and treat him as a dangerous foe.

"Still poor..."

Lu Yunhe glanced at it. The secret technique was good, but if it could be combined with a natal armor treasure, its strength would be further enhanced.

However, judging from the appearance of the War King, he probably can't afford such a treasure.

The War King's blood and energy erupted, but after condensing into a blood and energy armor, he completely suppressed the dissipated energy, clearly indicating that he was fully in the zone and could not afford to waste any energy.

boom!

The next moment, the War King clenched his fist, and his entire body, like a scarlet thorn, pierced through space and rushed over in the blink of an eye.

The movements were swift, but they were still incredibly clear in Lu Yunhe's eyes. He could even see every single pattern in the Qi and Blood Armor with great care.

"Physical body, vital energy, life..."

Lu Yunhe's blood and qi began to flow, and compared to the Zhan Wang's blood and qi, it was like the difference between a pond and a lake.

Yet this small amount of vital energy exudes a dreamlike and ethereal quality.

Then, under Lu Yunhe's will, wisps of blood and qi continuously surged from his fingertips, transforming into a blood-red butterfly that directly met the oncoming War King.

Watching the butterflies fluttering about, the War King remained tense, not daring to relax for a moment.

However, the attack that had already been launched could not be withdrawn because of the enemy's attack; instead, it became even more ferocious.

hum…

A blood-red butterfly spread its wings and landed directly on the War King's Blood Armor.

The intensely hot blood and qi from within the body, even a slight touch, is enough to melt bones and melt gold.

The blood-red butterfly landed on the armor, but remained unmoved, instantly transforming into a mark that merged into the armor.

In an instant, to the disbelief of the War King, a large blood blister appeared on the armor part where the butterfly had landed, just like a mosquito bite.

Moreover, what the War King found most unacceptable was that although he clearly saw this scene, the armor constructed from his own blood and spirit did not react in the slightest, as if the blood pack did not exist.

"What method is this?"

The War King suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The blood and qi that he had honed bit by bit seemed to have a sense of untrustworthiness.

The opponent's attack directly deceived the power he trusted so much, which was a test of his mental fortitude.

If you can't even trust your own body, which you've trained through countless trials, then what else can you trust?

Click!

The bulging blood sac burst instantly, exploding a deep wound on the War King's arm. Countless drops of blood splattered, mixed with scorching blood and qi, falling onto the ground and burning out craters like lava.

A sharp pain shot through my arm, and due to my mental state, I couldn't completely block out the pain.

"war!"

With a roar, the War King, despite the injury on his arm, continued his fearless attack on Lu Yunhe.

Seeing this, Lu Yunhe quickly retreated, not wanting to meet this angry attack.

Boom... Boom...

The War King closed in, threw a punch, which was easily dodged by the enemy, and then stomped his thigh forward, causing the entire ground to tremble. A large number of hard iron blocks scattered like meteors and struck towards Lu Yunhe.

At the same time, the War King's arm muscles twitched, and the armor that had just been broken was restored, along with the wounds on his arm.

He was merely somewhat shocked by the enemy's attack. Combat professionals possess incredibly tenacious vitality, and this injury wouldn't affect his fundamental health; he would recover in a few breaths.

With silver-level vitality, as long as they don't unleash attacks that burn their life essence, fighting for several days and nights is nothing to them.

Bang bang bang!

Once his wounds had healed, the War King unleashed countless punches at the flying debris.

Each punch was imbued with a rich flow of qi and blood, which merged with the rubble, transforming into meteors of heavenly fire that hurtled towards Lu Yunhe.

Lu Yunhe dodged constantly, managing to avoid the attacks of the falling rocks at the last second, without wasting a single bit of his strength.

"I've already seen through your weakness..."

After unleashing countless punches in an instant, the War King leaped into the air, using the cover of numerous meteor fragments to try and get close to Lu Yunhe.

After the exchange just now, the War King realized that the opponent was probably only at the Black Iron level, but his realm was too high and his methods were too heaven-defying.

However, this also means that the opponent's body cannot withstand his attack.

Even a single touch, even just a brief contact, would be enough to shatter the body of a Black Iron-level professional.

Bang bang!

With a single punch, Zhan Wang shattered a flying rock fragment, then burst out from behind it, heading straight for Lu Yunhe.

As the War King approached, Lu Yunhe began to dance with his hands.

In an instant, the War King's gaze involuntarily slid down, as if drawn by some force.

"not good!"

With sheer willpower, the War King only lost focus for a fleeting moment before recovering.

However, he was met with a fist the size of a sandbag, which struck him directly in the face.

The force, channeling through the armor of qi and blood, accumulated like waves before erupting in an instant, blasting the War King straight down from mid-air.

A fiery meteor crashed into the earth, and as soon as the explosion rang out, the War King's fiery red body flew out of the smoke.

"Your strength is too weak," the War King said proudly, but then, thinking of the other party's strength, he couldn't be so proud for a moment.

If the opponent's strength were to advance further, and if they were not at the Bronze level, they would probably be able to completely crush him.

He's only managing to ignore the opponent's attacks because of his Silver-level strength, which is why he doesn't appear to be being ravaged.

"That's enough to deal with you!" Lu Yunhe said condescendingly.

With only the strength of the Iron level, if one does not want to damage the body's essence, the strength cannot be increased much by relying on the technique of exertion. If the increase is even slightly larger, the body will not be able to withstand it.

"Then try it!"

The War King planned to drag the enemy into a war of attrition, directly using a strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries. In any case, his body could withstand it, while if the opponent was hit even once, their iron-level body would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Although the fact that he had to resort to such methods to deal with a mere Black Iron-level professional made the War King feel somewhat ashamed, given the opponent's bizarre methods, it was entirely acceptable.

The next moment, the War King rose from the ground once again and charged towards Lu Yunhe.

The War King had not fought against such a strange being for a long time, and his fighting spirit was rising, as was his aura.

The only pity was that his opponent did not choose to confront him head-on, but instead relied on subtle and skillful tactics to deal with his attacks; otherwise, his fighting spirit would have been even stronger.

Lu Yunhe and the War King were fighting in the arena, and the surrounding audience was equally excited, shouting loudly.

"The King!"
