Chasing Jiang Kai for over a month, Evil Fire and Tyrant finally could complete their mission.
The two stood on either side of Jiang Kai. Tyrant already had a sword coiled in his hand, advancing step by step. Evil Fire had two red flames rising from his palms, instantly raising the surrounding temperature!
"Stop with the scaremongering. I haven't even said who will die on whose wristwatch. I heard you have critical strikes too, then taste mine!" Tyrant sneered, then immediately darkened his face and activated his state.
"Savage State!" Boom—a burst of energy erupted around Tyrant. Then he formed a sword finger with his left hand, gently stroking the sword body, "Blood-Drinking Tyrant Sword, awaken!"
The longsword in his hand, following the trace left by his finger, sliced through his finger, leaving a bloodstain.
The blood condensed into a bead on the blade of the Blood-Drinking Tyrant Sword and rapidly seeped into the sword.
The sword that was previously not very eye-catching suddenly emitted a faint red glow all over.
Tyrant gripped the sword hilt with a sudden force, and his gloves emitted a purple light at the same time, "Critical Strike Amplification!"
Before the battle even began, Tyrant had already activated three states in a row. It seems they were all related to critical strikes and critical damage.
"Jiang Kai, I'll let you see what a real critical strike looks like!" After speaking, Tyrant charged at Jiang Kai with his sword.
It had to be said, Tyrant was extremely fast—the fastest among all human opponents Jiang Kai had encountered.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Tyrant flashed right in front of Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai was just about to dodge to the left.
Tyrant snorted coldly, "When I strike, you're already dead! I knew you'd dodge!"
"Monarch Over the World!"
Jiang Kai suddenly felt a strong sensation rise in his mind, as if the Tyrant in front of him was towering high above, while he himself was incomparably insignificant!
Just looking at Tyrant gave him a strong urge to submit!
The remaining rationality in Jiang Kai's mind told him that this was some kind of mental influence skill, similar to his own Deceive the Heavens, Cross the Sea.
This type of mental influence skill was very difficult to defend against, especially when unaware of the opponent's abilities, making it even harder to preemptively guard.
Unable to resist this sensation, Jiang Kai rapidly retreated backward to buy himself more time.
Tyrant frowned slightly. Even while affected by Monarch Over the World, Jiang Kai could still move so agilely? It's one thing to have high agility, but how was his mental strength also so high?
As the duration of Monarch Over the World increased, Jiang Kai felt an ever-growing urge to submit.
In a brief moment of distraction, Tyrant chased again.
On the other side, Evil Fire also finally made a move.
His movement technique was even faster than Tyrant's, leaving behind an afterimage on the ground, instantly blocking Jiang Kai's retreat path, while the fire in his palm surged violently.
"Blazing Palm!"
Although these two top experts had high cultivation realms, they were not careless, launching a simultaneous attack on Jiang Kai!
Just as Jiang Kai was about to activate the Divine Might Aura, Zhao Tiequan behind him suddenly let out a drunken hiccup.
He was originally lying limp on Jiang Kai's back, but suddenly sat up!
"Hic~"
Then Zhao Tiequan suddenly looked up and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha!"
This laughter even made the intensely fighting Jiang Kai, Evil Fire, and Tyrant pause for a moment in surprise.
This guy's voice was loud, full of energy, and his laugh was extremely arrogant, completely unlike someone who had just been heavily injured and nearly turned into a cripple.
"The Human Emperor is here, who dares to call themselves emperor!"
"Warhorse, follow me to expand our territory, conquer the four seas, sweep across the eight wastes, seize a harem of three thousand! Charge!" After saying that, Zhao Tiequan slapped Jiang Kai hard on the shoulder, "Giddy-up!"
Zhao Tiequan's shout was full of grandeur, like commanding thousands of troops. That slap actually pulled Jiang Kai out of the Monarch Over the World state.
However, Jiang Kai still couldn't help rolling his eyes at Zhao Tiequan. Was this the effect of Ruan Yu's wine?
Conquering the four seas and sweeping the eight wastes was one thing, but why a harem of three thousand?
Brother Zhao looked quite upright before; who would've thought his ambitions were so grand!
And it would've been fine if Brother Zhao was just enjoying his own high, but now he's treating Jiang Kai as his warhorse!
The only good thing was that Zhao Tiequan's drunken madness helped Jiang Kai save a Divine Might Aura.
Once sober, Jiang Kai quickly locked onto the attacks from Tyrant and Evil Fire, swiftly dodging to the side.
Tyrant's sword couldn't be withdrawn in time; the sword thrust missed, but the Blood-Drinking Monarch Sword unleashed a slash of sword energy that blasted outward.
Once released, the sword energy pierced through the forest behind Jiang Kai!
The ground had a depression more than a meter deep. All the towering trees along the path were destroyed, leaving a path nearly ten meters wide—completely barren!
At the same time, Evil Fire's Blazing Palm was also dodged by Jiang Kai. Flames erupted from Evil Fire's palm, igniting a blazing fire within a range of thirty to forty meters.
Flames rolled and thick white smoke billowed.
Jiang Kai looked at where he had just stood and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
These two moves were both incredibly powerful. Had he been a little slower, even if he didn't die, half his life would be gone!
"Petty tricks! Warhorse, charge! Kill all the men, take all the women into the harem!" came Zhao Tiequan's roar from behind.
Jiang Kai suddenly realized that carrying Zhao Tiequan on his back might have been a mistake… such a good Brother Zhao, who had such a grand image earlier, now looked like a bandit.
Sure enough, Ruan Yu's wine was poisonous—drinking it exposed the dark side of one's heart!
That moment of distraction had almost cost Jiang Kai his life. Now, he could only choose to ignore the extremely excited Zhao Tiequan behind him and focus on the fight.
Jiang Kai took advantage of the moment when Tyrant and Evil Fire had exhausted their moves to quickly shoot out a dozen Chasing Death darts toward Tyrant.
Tyrant snorted coldly, "Stellar Metal Array!"
A large number of metal shards detached from his black armor and floated in front of him.
As Chasing Death approached, the metal shards rapidly intercepted, neutralizing Jiang Kai's attack.
Tyrant sneered, "My equipment—chances are you've never even seen anything like it!"
Before he finished speaking, a Chasing Death emitting black energy directly pierced through the metal shards and slammed into Tyrant's armor.
Jiang Kai had mixed King Yama Poison into the Chasing Death darts!
His black armor immediately formed a black energy shield to block the King Yama Poison!
The black Chasing Death continuously drilled into the energy shield. Tyrant's eyes widened—Jiang Kai's attack had actually broken through his Stellar Metal Array and directly forced out his energy defense!
Tyrant's energy defense was extremely durable. With a loud roar, the shield spun rapidly, flinging the King Yama Poison away.
Before Jiang Kai could retrieve the King Yama Poison, he reversed his hand and threw another dozen Chasing Death darts toward Evil Fire!
"Fireball Explosion!"
In front of Evil Fire, a fireball appeared and immediately self-detonated, with the resulting shockwave repelling most of the Chasing Death darts.
However, a few of them had critical effects embedded and carried immense power, definitely not something the Fireball Explosion could block.
Seeing that three or four Chasing Death darts were still flying at him, Evil Fire was forced to activate his energy defense!
His energy shield was surrounded by flames, resembling a fireball.
Looking at the flying daggers trying to pierce through his shield, Evil Fire's lips curled down—he seemed a bit angry.
This Jiang Kai actually forced both Tyrant and him to activate their energy shields? As a mysterious powerhouse, how could he tolerate this happening again?
Just as both Tyrant and Evil Fire were beginning to rage, Zhao Tiequan behind Jiang Kai shouted angrily, "This is your strength? Sorry, you're all trash! Charge! Giddy-up!"
Jiang Kai was helpless—he really didn't want to deal with Brother Zhao.
I'm the one fighting, but you're the one showing off? And I still have to be your warhorse?
But this guy was right on his back, shouting loudly into his ear—hard not to hear him.
Not far away, Tyrant roared, "Evil Fire, stop wasting time. This kid is full of tricks. Finish him off quickly before things drag out!"
"Jiang Kai, die!"
With that, Tyrant attacked Jiang Kai again.
Evil Fire scoffed, "Don't order me around!" But while he said that, his hands didn't stop.
"Jiang Kai, I didn't think you actually had some skill!"
"Descent of the Fire God!" With a roar, the dwindling flames on the ground suddenly surged upward again, shooting dozens of meters high.
Roaring flames shot into the sky, forming a flaming area that spanned tens of meters!
Within the sea of fire, Evil Fire was lifted by the heat, suspended in mid-air.
He spread his arms, eyes looking down at Jiang Kai, "Jiang Kai, your flames before mine are like fireflies before the sun and moon!"
"Mysterious Talent—Fire Dragon!"
Massive flames connecting in mid-air actually formed a fire dragon that lunged straight at Jiang Kai.
