When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 926 - 360: It’s Time to End This
Li Xiu’s body exploded, scattering brilliant light, dazzling and floral.
After the brilliant light dispersed, Li Xiu’s figure was nowhere to be seen, as if that sword strike had obliterated him into nothingness, leaving not even a trace of bone behind.
Guan Jinghao’s expression turned grave. He didn’t believe that his sword truly reduced Li Xiu to nothing, and previously, Li Xiu disappeared in just such a manner, only to reappear behind him, dragging the situation into an unknown direction.
Guan Jinghao focused his senses all around, but still couldn’t spot any trace of Li Xiu. He listened intently but heard nothing.
Suddenly, Guan Jinghao’s right eye’s pupil retracted, blood blossoming like a scarlet chrysanthemum blooming within his eye.
Despite suffering such a severe blow suddenly, in that extreme pain, Guan Jinghao remained as calm as if possessed, his body flickering, leaping with incredible speed, rising thousands of meters in an instant.
Simultaneously, he swung the Holy Light Sword, its light raining down over an area of miles, but it struck nothing.
Old Jia was shocked, unable to discern how Guan Jinghao’s right eye was injured, and had yet to see any trace of Li Xiu.
The President’s eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise: "Li Xiu’s stealth technique, Guan Jinghao has fallen for it once, yet he stumbles into the same pit twice. This is quite interesting."
His gaze scanned the surroundings, seemingly searching for Li Xiu’s whereabouts, but even he couldn’t find where Li Xiu was.
"The stealth ability is indeed formidable, but given Guan Jinghao’s level, even if one conceals their form, the movement-induced airflow, no matter how slight, should not escape Guan Jinghao’s senses unless Commander Li remains motionless; otherwise, he should be discovered. How could this be?" Old Jia asked the President.
"There is only one possibility; Li Xiu’s stealth ability is not merely about hiding his form." The President calmly stated, "Even if his position can’t be detected, the difference in level remains. Li Xiu’s power and speed are lacking, incapable of truly wounding Guan Jinghao, and ultimately, he can only fail."
As the President said, Guan Jinghao’s eye was only slightly damaged; he had reacted instantly upon injury, so the damage was minimal.
Guan Jinghao wiped the blood from his eye; amidst the dazzling white light, his injured eye had already recovered, almost unaffected by the slight damage.
"What an impressive stealth skill, even I can’t sense your movements." Guan Jinghao said while gazing forward intently, no longer trying to search for Li Xiu and even dropping his hands as if giving up the fight.
Guan Jinghao stood in the air seemingly without any defense, yet Li Xiu did not launch another attack.
Old Jia watched Guan Jinghao in the sky, his palms sweaty with tension, knowing that Guan Jinghao was not truly conceding the battle but was preparing to take Li Xiu’s next attack.
Though Li Xiu’s invisibility could not be detected, he must attack Guan Jinghao. Due to the power gap, Li Xiu must launch a close, full-force strike to seriously wound Guan Jinghao, but that moment would also be when Guan Jinghao launches a full-force counterattack.
The next strike could very well determine the victor between the two.
As time ticked by, there was no activity in the sky; Guan Jinghao stood there for over ten minutes without waiting for Li Xiu’s next attack.
Old Jia couldn’t bear the internal torment, looking at the seated President beside him, he asked, "President Li, what is the situation now?"
The President, unable to see Li Xiu’s position, replied indifferently, "Currently, Guan Jinghao’s momentum is at its peak. Li Xiu is waiting for it to decline, hoping to exploit a lapse in Guan Jinghao’s focus for a full-force strike. It’s now a test of patience; whoever shows a flaw first will give the opponent an opportunity."
"Unfortunately, Li Xiu overlooks a crucial problem; as just a Spirit Forging Level, even if Guan Jinghao loses patience and reveals a flaw, his attack still can’t seriously harm Guan Jinghao. And as long as he attacks, he can’t avoid exposing a flaw, and once he does, Guan Jinghao will surely strike with full force, with no mercy, leading to a fatal situation. Moreover, in terms of patience, Guan Jinghao might not be inferior to him." the President remarked.
Old Jia nodded slightly, looking at Guan Jinghao in the sky, growing increasingly tense, partially anticipating Li Xiu’s next strike, yet worried about its occurrence.
Guan Jinghao remained calm, suspended in mid-air, waiting for Li Xiu to make a move.
A half-hour had passed, and that final strike had yet to appear.
"How long is this going to take?" Old Jia murmured.
"The longer it takes, the worse for Li Xiu." The President said calmly, "Maintaining the stealth state requires Li Xiu to expend a lot of Light Energy. The longer he waits, the weaker his already lacking Light Energy becomes. The fact that he hasn’t struck indicates he can’t find Guan Jinghao’s flaw; the outcome is already decided."
Hearing this, Old Jia became even more concerned: "If the outcome is decided, should we stop this battle from continuing?"
