At that moment, the old man executed another move, but this time he didn’t use his fists. He clasped his hands into fists and spread them to the sides of his body, then extended his index fingers, saying, “Double Horn Kill!”
After saying that, he thrust his arms forward, sharply aiming at Zhao Hai. With his movement, two qi forces resembling bull horns shot out directly from his fingers towards Zhao Hai.
However, at that moment, Zhao Hai swiftly moved, returning to the darkness king. The darkness king shot forward like a sharp sword, piercing through the old man’s qi forces.
Zhao Hai then shouted, “Disk Charge!”
At this moment, the old man had just released his finger attack and had no time to change his tactics when the darkness king’s charging horn was already in front of him. The old man’s expression finally changed; he realized that there was no time to switch his moves. He crossed his arms in front of him, curling his whole body into a ball, preparing for Zhao Hai's impact.
As fate would have it, Zhao Hai’s charge collided directly with the elbow spike on the old man’s armor. With a loud crack, the elbow spike broke, and the old man’s body was sent rolling backward, much like being hit by a car, while he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Due to this collision, the darkness king’s speed slightly slowed, but the old man was propelled nearly a thousand meters away. He didn’t even consider turning back to continue fighting Zhao Hai. Instead, he swiftly fled into the distance and soon vanished from sight.
The old man's actions were somewhat unexpected for Zhao Hai. He looked at the now invisible old man and shook his head helplessly. He knew it was too late to chase after him; the old man wouldn’t run in a straight line and could have gone anywhere.
Zhao Hai shook his head and decided not to dwell on this matter. He simply waved his hand and absorbed something from the ground, specifically the broken elbow spike from the old man’s armor.
Upon inspection, he found that the spike was silver-white and seemed to shimmer with a brilliant glow, making it very beautiful and, notably, extremely sharp.
Zhao Hai waved his hand again, tossing the spike into his space, then glanced in the direction where the old man had fled before returning his gaze to the city he was attacking.
The people in that city had also been watching the battle, and upon seeing Zhao Hai defeat the old man, the divine race members who were resisting were taken aback and quickly fell into a state of panic. The ones still resisting began to flee in all directions, making it even easier for the forces from the Undead Continent and Fei’er to attack. Before long, there was no one left resisting in the entire city. Following his previous strategy, Zhao Hai directly absorbed the non-resisting divine race members into his space.
After Zhao Hai completed these actions, Zhen Wushuang, Xiao Bingya, and others arrived on the darkness king. They had witnessed the previous battle and weren’t foolish; they understood that the old man had used the ultimate weapon from the Taurus Continent. Because of this, they were even more astonished that Zhao Hai had actually defeated the ultimate weapon from Taurus Continent!
As a result, when they reached the darkness king, their gazes towards Zhao Hai had changed slightly. Zhao Hai observed their expressions and smiled lightly, saying, “What’s wrong? Don’t be surprised. If we want to be strict about it, dealing with that person would be quite difficult for me. It's just that his strength wasn’t enough to fully utilize that armor, which is why he got injured and fled.”
Although Zhao Hai said this, Zhen Wushuang and the others weren’t fools and recognized that he was being modest. However, they didn’t say much more and simply updated Zhao Hai on the casualties from the battle before falling silent.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, “As of now, our progress has been very smooth. However, after the old man fled today, we might run into trouble. The armor he used is the ultimate weapon from Taurus Continent. Now that they see the ultimate weapon has no effect on me, they will definitely request reinforcements. Elder Zhen Wushuang, Elder Man Yuanjiang, Chairman Zhan Fang, I hope you three can contact your clans to send more personnel and keep a close watch on the sea. I believe Taurus Continent will surely seek help from other continents.”
